My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 170 especially noted people in the whole county!
Chapter 170: 170 especially noted people in the whole county!
Lin Tang’s face was all smiles as she introduced her family to the security guard.
"Yes, these four kids are my nieces and nephews," she said.
As she spoke, she looked at Goudan and the other slightly uncomfortable kids.
She rubbed the little heads of Choudan and Niuniu who were by her side.
"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and say hello to grandpa," Lin Tang said with a gentle smile.
The kids, looking at the imposing factory gates, felt not just nervous but also scared. When they saw their young aunt’s encouraging eyes, half of their fear dissipated.
They clenched their little fists to psych themselves up.
Tiantian smiled.
"...Hello, grandpa."
The old man particularly liked little children.
Seeing the four Lin Family kids looking so lovable with their fair and rosy complexions, he grinned, showing his back teeth.
He pulled out four fruit candies from his pocket and handed one to each child.
"Such sweet talkers, come, grandpa will treat you to some candy."
Lin Tang wasn’t fond of sweets; any chance she got, she would take out the milk candies from the System Space to give away, so the Lin Family was never short of candies now.
Li Xiuli still had more than half a bag of White Rabbit candies.
Worrying that the kids might spoil their teeth and also because she thought the candy was too expensive, she only gave Goudan and the others one each every few days.
All children have a sweet tooth, and it seemed there was never enough candy for them.
Let’s not mention Goudan who was a bit older for the moment, Choudan and Niuniu were tempted.
Was the old man’s candy different from their young aunt’s, and could it be just as tasty?
They wanted it in their hearts, yet they didn’t pester for it.
Their gaze carefully turned towards Lin Lu and Li Xiuli.
The security guard put on a stern face and complained, "It’s just a few candies, don’t be so strict with the kids."
Comrade Lin Tang was a little celebrity throughout the county, after all, and the old man was happy to give away a few candies.
Seeing the old man sincerely offering, Lin Lu nodded at his grandchildren.
"...Don’t forget to thank grandpa," he reminded.
Niuniu and the other kids said their thanks in their sweet, childlike voices.
The security guard looked at Lin Lu with envy in his eyes.
"Brother, you’re blessed to have such an outstanding daughter like Lin Tang," he said with emotion.
Lin Lu thought he was talking about Tangtang getting into the factory, and he was very pleased.
"My daughter is diligent and gives us peace of mind; my wife and I are reassured. It’s just that she’s a young lady working in the factory, sigh..."
His words trailed off, his worry evident in his sigh.
The old man reassured him with a smile, "You can rest assured, all the comrades in the factory are good people. A bit of banter is normal; as far as bullying goes, there’s no such thing.
Besides, Lin Tang is our factory’s little celebrity; who would dare touch her? You all just put your minds at ease."
Little celebrity?
Lin Lu, Li Xiuli, and Lin Qingmu were all taken aback.
They looked at Lin Tang in surprise.
Since when did their daughter (sister) become a little celebrity?
Lin Tang was equally puzzled.
She became a celebrity, and she didn’t know about it?
Seeing the Lin Family’s bewildered expressions, the security guard thought they were yet to be informed.
He slapped his thigh and laughed, "I wasn’t clear enough!"
"Lin Tang is from Shuangshan Brigade, isn’t that right?
Your article was reported, everyone in our county has heard about it, and now you’ve become a little celebrity in the whole county."
Having said that, he looked towards Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, "How did you raise such an accomplished daughter? Our county has never had anyone featured in the newspapers before; Lin Tang is the first one."
The old man wore a look of admiration.
Lin Tang was something special.
Despite coming from a rural area, she was no less capable.
Truly the child of someone else’s family!
Only then did Lin Tang and the others realize what he meant.
Oh, it was about her article being published in the newspaper.
Lin Tang didn’t feel anything special; the novelty had worn off for her a while ago.
But for Lin Lu and Li Xiuli, this was something they could brag about for at least half a year.
Lin Lu cleared his throat, his old face was brimming with smiles.
"Ah, the thing my big brother mentioned, the girl in the newspaper is indeed my daughter.
She’s really made us proud, saying if she can help others, that’s great.
She’s a sincere kid, and her mother and I don’t stop her, whatever our daughter wants to do, she does..."
Normally, a rural man who couldn’t lift his head up in front of city folk, now stood straight as a rod.
He felt as though he had reached the peak of his life.
Utterly thrilling...
The old man listened as if he was transcribing sacred scriptures, wishing he could jot down Lin Lu’s parenting tips right then and there.
Although his own children’s lives were set, he still had a grandson.
The two hit it off and chatted for a while.
Li Xiuli wanted to remind the head of the family to get moving but Lin Tang stopped her.
It was rare for Dad to be this happy, let him talk if he wants to.
There was still time anyway.
The four little ones kept looking around at the gate, touching this and that, always finding something fun.
They were not causing any trouble at all.
Endearingly so.
Luckily, the security old man and Lin Lu both knew their limits.
After a few minutes, they stopped talking.
The Lin Family entered the factory,
walking a short distance before Li Xiuli laughed helplessly, "Your dad just can’t kick his habit of showing off, always finding a chance to boast no matter where he goes, not afraid of being laughed at."
Tangtang is indeed outstanding, unsurpassed in her mother’s eyes.
But, the outside world is full of impressive people.
This is the city, where there must be plenty of clever people.
It’s a pity the girl was raised in their own home; otherwise, she would have been even more outstanding.
Lin Lu, fascinated by the cotton Textile Factory, was speechless...
His wife’s lack of face-giving, he was used to it.
But today, he wanted to fight back a bit.
"Having our daughter work here and get her face known, making connections, is better than being completely in the dark."
If the daughter had any issues, not to ask for help or anything, but at least they could let them know, right?
Lin Lu didn’t say it explicitly, but his implication was clear to everyone except the carefree children.
Lin Qingmu pondered thoughtfully.
So it could work like this?
Lin Tang had just thought Dad was casually chatting with someone, never expecting that her honest father would consider such things.
Everything he thought was for her.
It caught her off guard.
Suddenly, her nose turned sour.
Ever since she had returned to the side of her family, the surreal anxiety buried deep within her heart seemed to be caressed by tender hands.
As comforting as a spring breeze.
Her family was so good, so good that she didn’t know how to repay them...
Li Xiuli, noticing the emotional shift in Lin Tang, reached out to touch the hair on her forehead.
"My daughter has become a celebrity in the county, your mother and I are proud of you!
With this reputation, your mother and I can rest assured back in the village."
The daughter might not care for empty fame, but in such an environment, a good reputation could always make things smoother.
Lin Lu met Lin Tang’s admiring gaze and grinned sheepishly, "Alright, let’s not talk about that anymore, it’s rare for us to come out, let’s all be happy."
Lin Tang calmed the turbulence in her heart and smiled again.
"...Let’s go, I’ll take you all around to see."
As they were talking, the family arrived in front of the bulletin board.
Li Xiuli looked up at the board that was taller than a person, her face filled with surprise.
"Wow, this bulletin board is really something!
Worthy of a big factory, they even painted flowers on it, how beautiful! Really beautiful!!"
The village’s old bulletin board now looked like a mere scrap in comparison.
