Chapter 121: 121 Direct self-explanation completed
It was just that, with his daughter right beside him, he felt too embarrassed to say it out loud.
Seeing that Lin Lu had started drinking, Li Xiuli couldn’t help but have a mixed expression of amusement and disbelief.
Such a grown man, yet still so childlike.
She shook her head, helplessly saying, "Look at your dad, acting as if I’ve wronged him.
It’s just a sip of wine, and the look of enjoyment on his face, oh my!"
Lin Lu didn’t mind his wife not giving him face, and without explaining, he poured a little for Li Xiuli as well.
He gestured with his eyes and movements for her to drink it.
Li Xiuli didn’t understand what her husband was getting at with his charades and didn’t ask further, simply picking it up and drinking.
Not long after she drank it, she too was taken aback.
"This..."
She fell silent for half a minute.
Li Xiuli turned to look at Lin Tang, her face full of shock.
"Tangtang, did you really make this? How did you..."
When she was giving birth to Tangtang, there had been complications, and it took a long time for her to deliver.
Her husband had to take her to the county hospital for a successful birth.
But the delay was too long, and she’d been left with health issues.
Her lower abdomen was always cold from the inside out.
She wasn’t sure if it was her imagination.
After drinking this Medicinal Wine, her belly actually felt warm as if she were toasting herself on the kang bed.
The damp and chilly air seemed to be slowly drying out.
A comfort she hadn’t felt for a long time.
Her husband must have felt the same way, right?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have had her drink it directly.
Lin Tang knew her mother was asking how she knew how to make Medicinal Wine and was just about to explain.
Then Li Xiuli figured it out for her.
"Was it from reading books again?"
"Indeed, people who read a lot have sharper minds."
"When you were little, you looked so cute clutching a book, always so well-behaved... that adorable little figure of yours..."
She thus explained it to herself.
Lin Lu also looked proud, chuckling with a heh heh.
"Exactly! When Tangtang was little, who in the brigade didn’t love our girl?
Once she started school, our little girl, carrying her cloth backpack, was so well-behaved and cute, even more diligent than the older kids.
Every exam, she’d score double hundreds, souring the other villagers with envy.
Tangtang’s understanding of so much is the result of over a decade of accumulated knowledge, it’s only right that she’s so capable..."
Seeing him boasting again, Li Xiuli didn’t retort; she felt just as proud.
What’s wrong with being proud of having such an outstanding daughter?
The family of three chatted for a while.
Then it seemed about time.
Li Xiuli said, "Should we be heading back soon? We still have work to do at home, don’t we?"
Lin Tang was stunned, "Dad, Mom, didn’t you take the day off?"
Li Xiuli patted her hand, saying affectionately, "Why take a day off? Your father and I just needed to get up a little earlier is all.
Now the work in the fields is gradually picking up, we can’t just take days off willy-nilly."
Lin Lu agreed, "Your mother’s right."
We planned to just see our daughter, drop off the things, and leave, but who knew we’d end up lingering over a delicious bowl of noodles.
So delicious!
Lin Tang felt helpless but knew that diligence and enthusiasm were the common traits of people in this era.
There was no use in persuading them otherwise.
She took out four bottles of Medicinal Wine from the cabinet, and the can of Malt Extract she had just opened went into the bag as well.
Since mom and dad are always right, I won’t bother trying to convince you.
Here are four bottles of Medicinal Wine, one for mom and dad, one for grandma and grandpa, one for Uncle’s family, and one for the third uncle’s family. Dad, you take them back and distribute them.
As for this can of Malt Extract, Mom, give it to Goudan to nourish him a bit."
There should still be some Malt Extract left at mom’s place, but probably not much.
Li Xiuli was about to refuse when she looked up and saw Lin Tang’s pouting lips.
She swallowed the words that had almost left her mouth.
And she said, "Fine, Mother will listen to you."
Lin Lu saw his son’s wife utterly convinced by his daughter and a smile creased his face with wrinkles.
Only when Tangtang spoke did his daughter-in-law seemed willing to listen.
Lin Tang suddenly remembered the proposal she had written for setting up a Sauce Factory at Shuangshan Brigade.
So, she took a stack of papers from the small bookshelf against the wall and handed them to Lin Lu.
"Dad, please give this document to Uncle, I need to ask him for a favor."
Lin Lu asked curiously, "What favor?"
Li Xiuli also looked at Lin Tang with a puzzled expression.
Feeling a pang of jealousy, she wondered: Why didn’t Tangtang ask for her and the head of the household’s help? Did she think they weren’t reliable?
Lin Tang didn’t hide the truth and replied, "I’ve got some sauce recipes and been thinking we could set up a Sauce Factory in our brigade. That way, the brigade would have a stable income."
Nowadays, everything belongs to the country.
No matter what you do, you still need to integrate everyone’s strength.
Although there are those disliked ones in the brigade, the majority are still very kind-hearted.
There is strength in numbers, and if something happens, we can support each other.
Furthermore, if the Sauce Factory were to be established, there would inevitably be a few spots for our family, and plenty of benefits too.
Upon hearing this, Lin Lu and Li Xiuli were stunned.
It took them a while to find their voices.
To... to start a factory?
In our village?!
Li Xiuli’s tone was filled with utter disbelief.
"Tangtang, are you talking about... starting a factory in the village?"
As she spoke, she decisively added, "No, this definitely won’t work, isn’t this just fleecing the Organization’s wool? If someone were to report this..."
As if she had realized the severe consequences, she shook her head repeatedly.
Lin Tang explained patiently, "That’s why I’m asking Dad to go talk to Uncle."
Looking at Lin Lu, she continued, "Dad, please show it to Uncle first. We’ll do it in the name of the brigade.
Let Uncle talk to the commune leaders with the other brigade cadres first...
If it works out, the members of the brigade will have an additional source of income."
Just relying on the little yield from the fields isn’t enough to fill our stomachs.
Without a side business, there will be more tough days ahead.
Being a Farmer who depends on the sky for food, Lin Lu certainly understood this principle.
His heart pounded at the thought.
His voice was slightly solemn, "Tangtang, do you really think it’s feasible? Are the recipes reliable?" freewebnσvel.cøm
Lin Tang was very confident.
How could the recipes she received from the system check-in be flawed?
"Of course they’re reliable. If you’re worried, I can give you the recipes first and let Mom try it out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Lu thought to himself that it was a done deal.
The smile on his face deepened, "Dad doesn’t distrust you, it’s just that we’ve never seen this sauce before.
Wouldn’t it be better to make it first and then talk to the leaders? What do you think?"
Li Xiuli said, "What the head of the household said is right, that is indeed the case.
You can’t just say something verbally; the leaders will be completely clueless and won’t understand."
Lin Tang gave her dad a thumbs up and praised, "Dad is more thoughtful indeed."
At her praise, Lin Lu’s dark and lean face flushed with heat.
The usually earnest and silent Farmer waved his hand slightly, looking a bit embarrassed.
"...There’s nothing particularly thoughtful about it..."
The way his daughter complimented him made him a little uncomfortable.
Li Xiuli could clearly see that the head of the household was feeling rather pleased with himself.
She snorted quietly from her nostrils, visibly sour.
Tangtang had never called her thoughtful.
Seeming to sense the atmosphere, Lin Tang turned to her mother with a bright gaze.
"Mother makes a good point too!"
"But I’m not that good with kitchen work, so I’ll need Mother’s help to try making the sauce."
