My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 221 Stand in line, eat dog food
Chapter 221: 221 Stand in line, eat dog food
Ning Xinrou counted her fingers and said, "Yes, I miss them. I haven’t been separated from the kids since they were born..."
And so had Blue Mountain.
Ever since she had arrived at the Lin Family, the two had never been apart for so long.
How could she not miss them?
Hearing this, Lin Tang’s heart filled with a sense of guilt.
By causing the couple to be apart, she was simply inhuman.
In her mind, an incredibly vivid picture even emerged.
In the picture—
Her eldest brother was calling for his wife on her left, and her sister-in-law was reaching out her hand, crying on her right.
She, Lin "Queen Mother" Tang, was stuck between the two lovers.
In her hand was a black whip with barbs on it, lashing out at anyone who overstepped, twisted like a pervert...
This image flashed through Lin Tang’s mind, and she said ’Ew’ in disgust, shivering with revulsion.
Crap!
What on earth was she thinking about?
This is terrible!!
She slapped her face, barely snapping back to reality.
Lin Tang clenched her fists and said earnestly,
"Sister-in-law, don’t worry, I plan to buy a bicycle for our home after a while. Then you can come back every day."
Not having a bicycle was really inconvenient.
Ning Xinrou let out a light ’ah’ and hesitated, "Buy a bicycle? Didn’t you just buy a radio for the house?
If we get a bicycle on top of that, won’t our house attract too much attention?"
Just imagine, nearly every household in the village couldn’t even afford enough food. Having a radio and then getting a bicycle, wouldn’t that just make people green with envy?
Lin Tang thought about it and felt it made sense.
But, she wasn’t the timid type.
Reliving her life, she had come back to ensure her family had a good life and to compensate for not being able to care for her loved ones in her previous life.
"Even if it draws attention, we still need to buy the bicycle!"
"Sister-in-law and elder brother can’t be living apart forever; otherwise, my elder brother will hold a grudge against me, his little sister," Lin Tang said, cheekily blinking her eyes.
Ning Xinrou’s ears turned red, and she lightly pinched her younger sister-in-law.
"Tangtang, don’t talk nonsense," she said coquettishly.
At work, Ning Xinrou’s face no longer bore the fake makeup.
Her face was so white and tender, even more beautiful and delicate than that of an unmarried girl.
At this moment, with the orange-red sunset reflecting on her, the woman’s figure was graceful and elegant, captivating.
Lin Tang shook her sister-in-law’s arm as if begging for mercy, smiling, "Oh my, I’ll stop talking."
While speaking, her tone changed, and she playfully said, "...I’ll go back and tell elder brother, sister-in-law doesn’t miss him at all."
The redness on Ning Xinrou’s ears spread to her neck.
She just wanted to divert the conversation.
With a sense of helplessness, she tapped Tangtang’s forehead.
Pretending to sigh with regret, she said, "I was thinking of making a Bragi for you, but it seems you don’t want one now."
Lin Tang gasped, her beautiful eyes widening.
She rested her head on her sister-in-law’s shoulder, looking just like a human charm.
"No, no, sister-in-law, I won’t talk! Really, I won’t. I want the Bragi," the young girl pleaded, her voice soft and sweet.
Ning Xinrou’s heart nearly melted as she rubbed Lin Tang’s head.
It only took a few seconds for her to relent.
"Okay, okay, I’ll make it for you. Two pieces, enough to wear in rotation," she said, her tone full of indulgence.
Lin Tang stood up straight, her eyes curving into crescent moons, "Sister-in-law is the best."
Lin Xiaojing covered her mouth and giggled lightly on the side, envy apparent in her eyes.
How wonderful it would be if she could have such a close relationship with her sister-in-law in the future.
Chatting along the way, the three of them quickly spotted the entrance to the village.
A tall figure stood under a tree, gazing intently down the road, with a longing look.
Upon seeing the three familiar figures, the man’s eyes lit up and he almost ran over.
"Wife!!"
Lin Qingshan’s voice was steady, brimming with deep longing.
Ning Xinrou’s expression brightened, and she ran toward the man.
"Blue Mountain, I’m back."
Ever since she married, she had never been apart from Qingshan, and she was finding this period particularly difficult to adjust to.
As Lin Qingshan gazed at his wife’s elegant face, a fiery passion flooded his eyes.
He couldn’t help but squeeze Ning Xinrou’s hand a bit too hard.
He leaned in close, whispering softly, "...My dear wife, I’ve missed you."
Ning Xinrou’s face flushed bright red.
Her delicate, pale face was now as if touched by rouge, stunningly beautiful.
Lin Qingshan almost couldn’t take his eyes off her.
"...Giggle, giggle, giggle..."
Suddenly, two playful laughs reached the couple’s ears.
The two of them snapped back to reality in an instant.
Lin Qingshan’s face warmed slightly, but he managed to keep his tone as composed as possible.
"...Tangtang and Xiaojing are back too."
Lin Tang and Lin Xiaojing stood behind them, lining up to receive their share of ’dog food.’ frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Hearing Lin Qingshan’s belated realization, Lin Tang winked at him.
"Big brother, just pretend Xiaojing and I don’t exist!"
"You and sister-in-law take your time. We’ll get out of your way first."
In those days, with hardly any entertainment available, they even wanted to watch the excitement of their own family members.
Was this a twist of human nature or a decline of morals?
After speaking, Lin Tang immediately took Lin Xiaojing and scrammed.
Within moments, they disappeared from Lin Qingshan and Ning Xinrou’s sight.
As for how the young couple behind carried on with their sweet nothings, that’s another story.
Once in the village, Lin Tang and Lin Xiaojing each returned to their own homes.
Arriving home to find the house empty, they had no choice but to put down the things they brought back and head to the village’s threshing ground together.
The half-month of the wheat harvest was both the most joyful and the busiest, most exhausting time of the year for the brigade’s members.
During this half-month, everyone in the village was so busy they barely touched the ground.
The brigade members had to cut wheat, bundle wheat, load trucks, unload, and thresh, among other tasks, and even children were assigned tasks of delivering water and picking up wheat.
Cutting and bundling the wheat were backbreaking, leaving people with sore waists and legs after a single day’s work, some unable to even straighten their backs.
The Shuangshan Brigade didn’t have any vehicles, relying solely on an ox cart and sheer human strength.
One swath of wheat after another was harvested and taken to the threshing ground.
It was spread out on the ground, then a stone roller was moved back and forth over it to thresh the kernels.
The weather had been favorable these past few days, and after several days of sun, the wheat on the threshing ground had dried out.
When Lin Tang and Lin Xiaojing arrived at the threshing ground, they were greeted by the brigade members’ happy faces.
Huge heaps of wheat stood like little hills in the threshing ground, their sight bringing joy to onlookers.
Some members were resting under the shaded canopy on the edge or in the cooler areas beneath the wheat stacks, while children were running, playing, and frolicking everywhere.
The joy of a bountiful harvest was evident on everyone’s face.
"This year is a year of plenty indeed!"
"Yes, the wheat ears aren’t shriveled at all."
"Looking at it, we might even get to eat more refined wheat flour meals this time."
"I just want to eat a meal of pork dumplings, Lin Lu made my whole family envious the last time he ate them."
A group of members, busy with fencers turning over the field, chatted as they worked.
While one group was turning over the wheat, another was winnowing.
Today happened to be windy.
Lin Lu and a group of seasoned old hands wielded wooden shovels on the winnowing field.
As experienced farmers, their arms moved rapidly and precisely, creating a powerful rhythm and grace in their movements.
Lin Lu had brought his family’s radio to the threshing ground, transforming the usually arduous labor into a more bearable task.
It was common to see people stopping by to listen to the radio.
When Lin Tang arrived at the threshing ground, she scooped up a handful of wheat, full and round.
Lin Xiaojing squatted on the ground, eyes filled with amazement, "Tangtang, the wheat grew so well this year."
Beyond anyone’s expectations!
Lin Tang was not surprised at all, "...Indeed, it’s not bad at all."
As soon as the two vibrant young girls arrived at the threshing ground, all the brigade’s members noticed.
"Tangtang and Xiaojing are back!" exclaimed the women of the brigade happily.
