My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 148 Heard the sound of face slapping
Chapter 148: 148 Heard the sound of face slapping
Upon seeing them,
everyone’s eyes nearly popped out.
Looking at those steaming white flour dumplings, they swallowed hard.
Good Lord.
White flour dumplings!
"Qingshui, Qingmu, you guys are delivering dumplings to your grandparents and uncles, aren’t you? And they’re made with white flour too, that’s really generous!!" Qi Dafa said enviously.
The relationship between the three Lin Family brothers was close.
That they were willing to give away white flour dumplings.
How come I don’t have brothers like that...
Sun Tieshu also lamented, "It must be the scallion and pork filling, smells so good!"
Country folks all yearn for more oil and water; merely the word ’meat’ made their eyes turn red, let alone having it so close by.
Their gazes couldn’t be more fervent.
Liu Damei looked at those plump white dumplings, feeling both sour and envious.
"The Lin Family’s life is not like the rest of us villagers anymore, now they can even afford white flour dumplings.
Sigh, it’s different when you have a solid job in the family."
As she spoke, she slurped her saliva.
Lin Qingmu chuckled naively.
"My second brother and I are just running errands, it’s Tangtang being filial to the elders.
Us brothers are good-for-nothings, only able to bask in our sister’s glory, our faces are burning with shame!"
His honest face matched his words perfectly.
But his expression carried a hint of pride rather than shame.
It caused onlookers a pang of jealousy.
After chatting with the uncles and aunts at the doorstep, the two Lin Family brothers and their cousin went to deliver the dumplings.
They were anxious to return and eat dumplings themselves.
As the three younger members of the Lin Family left,
Liu Damei’s voice was laden with sourness and heavy sighs.
"...Tangtang knows how to be grateful and give back."
The Lin Family wasn’t wrong in raising such a daughter.
Qi Dafa laughed as if he heard the sound of a slap in the face next to him.
"Sun’s wife, isn’t what you just said kind of a slap in the face?
Weren’t you the one who said that it’s useless for girls to study and that they might turn ungrateful?
What’s changed now?"
Besides Wu Chunhua, Sun’s wife was the one who talked the most when the Lin Family financed Tangtang’s education.
Liu Damei’s face stiffened.
She praised Tangtang in a measured way,
"That’s because Tangtang herself is a good kid. If it were someone else, just you watch."
With that retort, Liu Damei tugged at her husband and headed home.
I wonder if the Lin Family will still practice riding bikes after their meal?
The departure of Sun Tieshu and his wife did not dampen the villagers’ enthusiasm.
A group of men excitedly discussed the bicycles they had just watched.
"The three young lads from the Lin Family learn to ride bikes so quickly. They’ve only been practicing for a short while and already they can all ride."
"That’s right, the village girls used to envy Tangtang for having so many brothers to protect her, but now it might be the village boys who are envious of Blue Mountain’s three brothers for having a sister like Tangtang."
"Sigh! In our large brigade, only Tangtang is such an incredible girl.
Tell me, if it were your daughter who could study, would your family be willing to tighten their belts to support her?"
The person addressed shook his head without thinking.
"...That’s not something I get to decide!"
At this, the man paused,
That’s true; every family in the village has many children. Once the sons are married, they each have their own priorities.
Who would continue to support a girl’s education then?
No household could compare with the solidarity of the Lin Family.
No wonder the Lin Family was prospering.
Harmony in the family brings prosperity to all things.

Lin Xiaojing brought back a bowl of dumplings to her home.
Lin Shou, Zhang Hongyan, and Lin Qingya saw it and were initially caught off guard.
The third branch of the Lin Family had less labor, resulting in less grain rations.
A family of four scrimped and saved, looking forward to the new harvest. free𝑤ebnovel.com
"Forget about white flour, we even have to ration the dark and coarse stuff when we eat."
Now, smelling the aroma of white flour dumplings, his eyes were practically glowing green.
"Xiaojing, where did you get these dumplings?" Lin Qingya asked.
When Lin Xiaojing had gone to deliver the pickles to Lin Tang, he hadn’t returned yet.
So, he didn’t know about his sister’s previous visit to their second uncle’s home.
Lin Shou was also unaware.
Both father and son looked at their daughter with puzzled expressions on their faces.
However, Zhang Hongyan knew.
With her eyebrows tightly knit, the woman frowned at Lin Xiaojing with dissatisfaction.
"These must be from your second aunt, right? How could you have the nerve to accept them?
Every household struggles with not having enough food, and this is made of white flour. How could you take them?!"
If this had been before, Lin Xiaojing would have already been crying from being scolded.
But that wasn’t the case now.
She knew her mother was upset about the situation, not her personally.
She patiently explained to her family.
After Zhang Hongyan understood, a deep sigh emerged from her.
"Qingya, Xiaojing, remember the kindness your second uncle’s family has shown us," she said earnestly.
The old Lin Family was really different after all, showing more kindness than many others in the village.
Lin Shou also said, "Your mother is right! Your mother and I don’t ask for you to achieve greatness, but at the very least, you need to know the importance of gratitude."
Lin Qingya and Lin Xiaojing nodded solemnly.
Then, Lin Xiaojing took out the skin cream that her cousin had given her, her face brimming with joy.
"Mom, this is the face cream Tangtang gave me; she said she made it herself."
Zhang Hongyan looked at it and a faint smile appeared on her face.
"Tangtang is really capable, even knowing how to make this.
Go ahead and take it if she gave it to you, just don’t forget about her if you have something nice."
Lin Xiaojing nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I’m planning to make Tangtang a few pairs of socks."
After their conversation, Lin Qingya chimed in, "Mom, can we start eating?"
He couldn’t wait to try the second aunt’s cooking.
It smelled so good!!
Zhang Hongyan said with a laugh, "Okay, let’s stop chatting and eat!"
Meanwhile.
After Lin Qingshui and Lin Qingmu finished delivering dumplings, they arrived home just as the second pot of dumplings was ready.
Like Lin Lu, Lin Tang preferred foods with broth in them.
So, Li Xiuli made them a sour soup with a thin layer of cilantro and chili oil floating on top.
It smelled both fragrant and spicy.
As the head of the family, Lin Lu’s bowl was, of course, the first to be served.
He lifted the bowl and took a sip of the sour soup.
The taste was simply incredible.
With one hand holding the bowl and the other holding chopsticks, Lin Lu gave his wife a thumbs-up.
"Wife, excellent cooking skills! Your culinary talent is unparalleled."
Li Xiuli blushed at the praise, feeling particularly shy.
They had been husband and wife for so many years...
Noticing that the children and daughters-in-law were all looking towards her and the head of the family.
Li Xiuli felt even more embarrassed.
She glared at Lin Lu and said, "Just eat your food quickly."
Then she looked at Lin Tang.
"Daughter, what do you think of the taste? It’s alright, isn’t it?"
Having been married to her for many years, Lin Lu of course understood that his wife felt shy, and with a ’heh’ and a laugh, he took his bowl to the doorway.
The reason for taking his bowl to the door was mainly because villagers weren’t particular, and someone might come to the house to check out the bicycle.
If he sat at the door, it would discourage the village men and women from entering and disturbing them.
Lin Tang naturally knew her mother was trying to change the subject.
Imitating her father, she retracted her chopsticks and gave a thumbs-up.
"Incredible, super incredible! The sour and spicy taste, I could eat two bowls.
Mom’s cooking is exceptional, even better than the state-run restaurant’s dumplings."
Li Xiuli was coaxed into an expansive smile.
The wrinkles on her face softened pleasantly.
