My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 143 Whip his body out
Chapter 143: 143 Whip his body out
Li Xiuli was in a good mood and agreed with Zhou Mei’s suggestion to make meat dumplings.
However, she gave her second daughter-in-law a wary look, as if to prevent her from getting carried away.
She then turned her warm gaze towards Ning Xinrou.
"Today, we’re making plain white flour meat dumplings."
Having said that, Li Xiuli began to assign tasks.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, you knead the dough; second daughter-in-law, you assist; I’ll prepare the filling."
She had initially planned to make white dumplings for Tangtang and dumplings with some dark flour for the rest of the family.
However, recalling what her daughter said today and not wanting Tangtang to be unhappy, she decided to make white dumplings for everyone.
Lin Tang: After several persuasions, I finally managed to sway her a tiny bit; it’s cause for celebration!
Ning Xinrou replied promptly, "Okay, I’ll start kneading the dough now."
Upon hearing that the entire family would eat white flour dumplings, Zhou Mei was overjoyed, as if she had struck a great bargain.
She didn’t mind her mother-in-law’s cold look at all.
If she could eat white flour meat dumplings every day, she wouldn’t mind being glared at by her mother-in-law all the time!
A glare wouldn’t cause her to lose a piece of meat, after all.
Zhou Mei’s smile almost reached her ears, and her voice rose by more than a tone.
"Mom, do you need me to do anything? Just tell me, and I’ll make sure it’s done perfectly," she said.
With that, she rolled up her sleeves in a brisk and efficient manner.
Eager to be assigned a task, she waited impatiently to get started.
Li Xiuli saw her enthusiasm and gave a slight twitch of her lips.
"... You chop the meat."
"Okay!" Zhou Mei responded crisply.
Looking at the meat on the chopping board, her smile widened considerably.
If it weren’t for her ears getting in the way, the corners of her mouth would have met in the middle.
Zhou Mei replied and vigorously chopped the meat, making ’duang duang’ noises.
Ning Xinrou shook her head helplessly looking at her sister-in-law’s zeal.
Indeed, only the prospect of meat could awaken Mei Zi’s enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, they busily prepared the meal.
Outside the door.
Lin Tang was teaching Lin Qingshan how to ride a bicycle.
Lin Lu pushed the bike to get accustomed to it, while Lin Tang held the back seat.
First, she shared her own experience of learning to ride.
"Dad, riding a bicycle isn’t hard. Just pedal around to get used to it, and you’ll learn quickly.
Try it; I’m holding it from behind so you won’t fall," she said.
She learned quickly, jumped off midway, and then got the hang of it.
She didn’t think there was anything difficult about it.
Lin Lu was somewhat nervous.
It wasn’t that he feared getting hurt from falling; he was mainly worried about damaging someone else’s bicycle’s front wheel.
But in front of his daughter, no matter how reluctant, he had to try.
"Alright, Dad will give it a try."
Lin Lu and his brothers inherited Lin Xiuyuan’s height, all around six feet tall.
At that height, sitting on a bicycle, your feet could touch the ground.
When learning to ride a bicycle, that was a great sense of security.
Lin Lu sat on the bike and started pedaling. With a push, the bicycle moved forward.
At first, he was startled, and his heart pounded as if he were carrying a few rabbits from the backyard.
After riding for a while, he found it quite stable.
He felt as though he had already mastered it.
"... Hahaha... Tangtang, Dad can ride now," Lin Lu laughed out loud.
Excited, he turned his head back to look at Lin Tang.
At that turn of his head.
Seeing her just following behind, with her hands not touching the bike, he panicked.
The next instant.
The bicycle wobbled dramatically, looking as if it were about to fall over.
"Dad, steady! I’m right here behind you," Lin Tang said.
She stepped forward and reached out to hold onto the bike seat.
Just as she gripped the back of the bike.
Lin Lu got off the bike calmly.
"... Dad’s fine," he said with a big smile.
He seemed to have grown years younger.
Seeing her father seemingly excited, Lin Tang’s face also lit up with a smile.
"Dad, how does it feel? Want to go for another round?"
Lin Lu took a round and came back smoothly, feeling like he’d got the hang of it.
So he said, "I’ll try again."
It didn’t seem very hard.
Lin Tang suggested, "Dad, how about I don’t hold you up this time, and you give it a try yourself?"
She thought her dad didn’t seem to have much of a problem anymore.
Lin Lu’s body tensed, could he do it?
Lin Tang nodded at him and pumped her fists to cheer her dad on.
"Dad, you can definitely do it."
Lin Lu suddenly felt invigorated as if he’d been shot with adrenaline, feeling his body fill with strength.
Heck, not just ride a bicycle, he felt like he could even drive a big truck.
"Alright! I’ll give it a try myself."
With that, he swung his leg over.
With one push of his feet, he and the bicycle were off into the distance.
Lin Tang, worried her father might fall, quickly trotted to catch up.
People who’ve just learned to ride a bicycle feel so excited it’s like there’s a little man inside their heart dancing crazily.
They almost wish they could weld their butt to the bicycle seat.
In his excitement, Lin Lu rode all the way to the entrance of the village.
At the village entrance.
He ran into Qi Dafa and other brigade members who had just gotten off work.
"Oh my lord, Lin Er, did your family buy a bicycle?!" Qi Dafa exclaimed at the top of his lungs.
His eyes were so wide they looked like they might pop out!
Seeing the villagers, Lin Lu hopped off the bicycle and explained with spirited flushed cheeks:
"Buy, what buy? Such an expensive thing, who among us country folks could afford it! It’s borrowed by my daughter."
Not to mention money, couldn’t even get a spot on the bicycle queue, how to buy?
Old Guo’s head looked enviously at the shiny new bicycle, his face showing his desire.
"Wow, even a borrowed one is good, we can’t even borrow one if we wanted to."
After saying that, he turned to look at the silent Liu Dazhu.
"Dazhu, when your Guohui worked at the steel factory, he couldn’t borrow a bicycle either, right?"
Once Old Guo blurted this out, all eyes were on Liu Dazhu.
It wasn’t to make fun of the Liu Family, but seeing him just brought the words out.
Liu Dazhu felt mortified and wanted nothing more than to smash Old Guo’s head in.
He was already shrinking into the background, yet they had to drag him out for this.
How damaging!
Facing the gossipy eyes of the villagers, Liu Dazhu tugged at the corner of his mouth.
"...Heh, my Guohui just isn’t as capable as Tangtang!" he said dryly.
He was annoyed and resentful.
Annoyed at his son for being a disappointment and causing a spectacle.
Resentful at the villagers for being tactless and hitting where it hurts.
And most of all, annoyed at Lin Lu.
Borrowing a bicycle was one thing, but what was the point of showing off like that?
It wasn’t even his own, he’d have to return it, wouldn’t he?
A man of his age learning to ride a bicycle, he wasn’t afraid of throwing out his back.
Everyone could tell Liu Dazhu’s words were hollow.
They shifted the topic with a few exchanges back and forth.
Lin Lu greeted the group and glanced towards Lin Tang.
"Tangtang, your mom should be almost done preparing the meal, let’s head back, dad will take you."
Now that he had learned, carrying someone shouldn’t be much of a problem.
"Sure!" Lin Tang wasn’t scared at all.
She was strong and nimble; she wouldn’t fall.
The villagers watched Lin Er ride off with his daughter, their eyes sour with envy.
With a capable girl like Lin Tang, they’d be willing to dote on her and sponsor her education to the skies.
Liu Dazhu gave the villagers a glance and, while they weren’t paying attention, hung his head and went home.
Hmph.
They were all good at flattering some and demeaning others.
Lin Lu had indeed learned to ride the bicycle after a casual round.
Carrying Lin Tang with him was as steady as can be.
When they got to the front door, Lin Qingshan and his two brothers all rubbed their eyes in unison.
Huh?
In just that short time, how had their dad managed to learn to ride a bicycle?!
