My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 208 is like eating a sack of lemons
Chapter 208: 208 is like eating a sack of lemons
Goudan and his three little companions found out that a wild boar had been caught in the village and handed the bucket of Sour Plum Soup to Lin Qingshui, then scattered their bare feet and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
Before long, they bumped into Lin Tang and a few others.
"Uncle, Auntie!" the four little ones ran over as fast as if they were flying.
Seeing Lin Tang dragging a big fat pig, Goudan and his companions’ eyes were almost shocked out of their heads.
"Hmph, ha ha..."
Niuniu grunted twice and waved her little fists, her little face flushed, "Auntie, is it true that my dad said you killed a big fat pig with just two punches?"
Choudan took a look, furrowed his little brow, shook his head, and said, "It’s not like that."
With that, he took a short step forward and struck a horse stance.
His little face was as serious as an old man’s.
"Hehe, ha hung, left hook, right roundhouse kick," his voice was milky and softly fierce.
Because the Lin Family’s diet had improved, all the little radish heads had grown a bit fatter.
And the one who had changed the most was naturally Choudan, the smallest among them.
His little face was plump and tender, with some baby fat.
His eyes, as black and bright as Ning Xinrou’s, were exactly alike.
His serious expression almost melted people’s hearts.
This innocently cute appearance made the bachelors like Chen Ziqiang and Shuanzi envious.
And they resolved in their hearts to feed the pigs a few more times when they got back.
Determined to send the pigs to market earlier, get money, and find themselves wives.
Lin Tang’s heart was also melted by the cuteness.
Aiyo, too adorable, my health bar is drained.
Choudan was still blushing, looking up at her with misty, adoring bright eyes.
"Auntie, did I do it right?"
What could Lin Tang say? She could only nod, "Right, Choudan is really amazing."
Choudan’s face turned beet red, the blush spreading down to his neck, and he said in a soft, mushy voice, "Auntie is the most amazing."
Auntie is smart and can fight wild boars, the most amazing in the whole world.
While the adults were not paying attention, Hutou and Niuniu, the brother and sister pair, climbed onto the wild boar to pluck its hair, their faces foolishly joyful.
When Goudan saw his brother had finished speaking, he quickly said, "Auntie, can you teach me Kung Fu? The kind you use to fight wild boars."
"Once I know Kung Fu, I’ll go up the mountain to fight wild boars and catch wild rabbits, so our family will never lack meat again."
Learn Kung Fu?
Lin Tang was somewhat surprised.
Apart from being agile and strong, she didn’t have any special moves or martial arts techniques.
However, since Goudan wanted to learn, she wouldn’t dampen the child’s enthusiasm.
"Then you need to eat more and grow taller and stronger first. With your tiny, skinny body, you’d get knocked flying just by meeting a wild boar," Lin Tang said.
Goudan heard that his auntie was not opposed and was overjoyed, nodding repeatedly.
"Okay, I promise to grow taller and stronger first."
After the small interlude, Lin Tang and the others returned to the village.
At the entrance of the village.
A few large wild boars stood there like small earth mounds.
The village youths began to circle around them.
The childish laughter rang out cheerfully.
The faces of the adults were also filled with smiles.
In this year of good harvest, with the unexpected bounty of pork, who wouldn’t be happy?
The brigade had no butcher.
Lin Fu arranged for someone to call a butcher from the neighboring Jianming brigade to help with the butchery in the village.
An hour later, the butcher arrived.
Upon seeing the several large wild boars, his eyes nearly popped out.
He exclaimed, "Incredible, simply incredible, so many wild boars, Captain Lin, your brigade is really lucky."
Lin Fu stroked the beard he specially grew on his chin and chuckled.
"It’s not about being lucky, it’s making the best out of a bad situation."
"These beasts ran down the mountain and ravaged the fields, and of course, we couldn’t just stand by. Gritting our teeth, we had to rush up and take them on. Once we confronted them, eh, the wild boars were a bit inferior and got killed... "
Butcher Jiang, listening to Lin Fu without any show of bragging, but with every sentence dripping with Veblen, felt his eyelids twitch uncontrollably.
Somehow, he suddenly felt uneasy.
Like having swallowed a sack of lemons.
"Oh, let’s start slaughtering the pig,"
Lin Fu felt somewhat unreconciled, yet seeing that people weren’t willing to listen further, he didn’t insist on continuing.
He called on the village men and boys to come up and help, and together they slaughtered the pig.
A group of little ones stood by watching, not frightened at all, their dark little faces filled with the craving for meat, as they swallowed hard.
These children didn’t get to eat meat often during the year.
They were as thin as refugees.
They didn’t complain about the injustices of life, and their faces still bore a simple and lovely smile.
"We can finally eat meat!" the children clapped their hands and laughed.
Mao Dou eyed the dead pig being moved by the adults, while biting his hand he asked Niuniu standing beside him.
"Niuniu, do you think Braised Pork is tastier or Dumplings are better?"
Niuniu, licking candy, thought for a moment and said, "I don’t know, both are delicious."
Mao Dou’s face fell, "..." He could only choose one to eat; if he chose both, his mom would directly serve him bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat.
As the two little ones chatted, one of the men moving the pig stepped back and nearly stepped on Niuniu.
Mao Dou, with quick eyes and hands, pulled her away just in time to prevent an accidental injury.
But it was in vain, Niuniu’s candy had fallen.
The little girl immediately felt so heartbroken that tears almost appeared.
Xiaohua saw that Niuniu was about to cry, so she picked up the candy.
She swallowed her saliva.
Touched Niuniu’s face and consoled, "Don’t cry, it can still be eaten after washing."
Niuniu’s tears instantly receded.
Lin Tang witnessed all these small scenes unfold.
Thinking about the few packs of candy she still had in the System Space, including Big White Rabbit and other ordinary hard candies.
Lin Tang pretended to return home for a trip, took out a pack of hard candy, and distributed it to the village children.
Seeing Sister Tangtang giving out candy again, the village children circled around her in layers, their eyes shining like stars on a summer night.
Innocent, naive, longing...
"...Thank you, Sister Tangtang!"
"Sister Tangtang is so nice!"
"Don’t worry, Sister Tangtang, I’ll take good care of Niuniu in the future."
...
Lin Tang said with a smile, "Now that you’ve got your candy, go and play, stay away from where they’re slaughtering the pig, don’t get hurt."
A bunch of little kids nodded obediently.
Even the troublemakers who were ungovernable at home were as well-behaved as kittens in front of Lin Tang.
It was rare for the village to slaughter a pig and share the meat, so work ended earlier than usual.
When the time came, the women, with their vegetables and bowls in hand, also arrived at the village entrance.
On one side, the pig slaughtering was bustling and animated.
On the other, several large pots were set up, with fires underneath burning brightly.
A few square tables were lined up in a row, and a large chopping board was prepared as well.
The women only waited for the pig to be slaughtered before they would prepare the pork dishes.
Some tended the fire, some washed vegetables, and others chatted... It was truly more lively than the New Year festivities.
They saw Lin Tang giving out candy to the children.
Their own kids’ joyful expressions.
The women all felt a cozy warmth in their hearts.
They said to Li Xiuli, "Sister Xiuli, your Tangtang has been generous again."
"...The pork too, it’s thanks to your Tangtang that we can eat meat, thank you, Tangtang."
"Sister Xiuli, you and her father really know how to raise a child."
"...With a daughter like Tangtang, you and your husband have good days ahead."
Everyone was both envious and grateful.
For a while, the Lin Family stood unrivaled in prestige.
Not only the members of the Lin Family’s second branch, but even the first and third branches glowed with pride.
Having a capable person in the family, they were too delighted for words.
