Chapter 36: 36 White Rabbit Creamy Candies
Qin Qiaomu was indignant but didn’t dare to speak up.
Angrily, he shoveled a mouthful of rice, looking huffed and puffed.
Feng Hui glared at Qin Minsheng and smiled, “Alright, Qiaomu is just concerned for his sister. Why would you undermine the kid?”
Qin Qiaomu quickly seized the opportunity, “Yeah, I’m just concerned about my sister.”
“If I were with my sister, who would dare touch her? I’d chop off their dog paws!”
“Dad, did you give that villain a good thrashing?”
Towards the end, the youth’s rough voice grew a bit more fierce.
Qin Minsheng’s expression grew cold for a mont but quickly returned to his usual gentle and peaceful deanor.
“Broke his legs, is that enough? Don’t worry, those people won’t be coming out.”
They happened to clamp down during a crackdown, and with his influence, it would be odd if they were released.
Qin Qiaomu thought that was fine, nodding in satisfaction like an elder brother.
“Uh-huh.” That’s okay, I guess.
Qin Suqing looked at Qin Minsheng and suddenly asked, “Dad, isn’t our cotton textile factory hiring? Why don’t we give Tangtang a spot?”
She felt her idea was exceptionally good.
“Tangtang is a high school student, smart and eager to learn; all she lacks is an opportunity.
Tangtang saved ; without her, I would have been gone.
Our family was already planning to thank her.
It’s just a job spot; Mom, Dad, you aren’t that stingy, are you?”
Qin Qiaomu didn’t know who this Tangtang his sister ntioned was but hearing the person saved his sister, he thought it was worth helping.
“I think my sister is right. It’s just a work spot; how can that be more important than my sister?
To show thanks, there must be so sincerity, otherwise, people will think our family is stingy!”
Hearing her brother say the sa, Qin Suqing nodded repeatedly.
She looked at her parents with an expectant face.
Only those who have gone through such peril can understand the elation and gratitude of being saved from the jaws of death.
For Lin Tang, it might have just been lending a hand.
But for her, it was a lifesaving grace.
Feng Hui valued the education of her two daughters and was familiar with the na Lin Tang, the student who always ranked first in exams.
After eting her, she found the young girl to be well-behaved and sensible.
Her calm deanor didn’t resemble that of an average girl from the countryside, which made Feng Hui like her even more.
“I think both Suqing and Qiaomu are right.
Since you already gave the books to that girl Tangtang, let’s not half-send a Buddha to the west; let’s just take care of her,” Feng Hui suggested.
Qin Minsheng glanced at the family and said, “…So, what do you all think I gave the books to Lin Tang for? Just for her to look at?”
If that were the case, why wouldn’t he give her sothing else?!
Feng Hui, Qin Suqing, Qin Qiaomu: “…”
They never expected this!
Seeing the family speechless, Qin Minsheng smiled and went back to his study room.
Feng Hui looked at her husband’s complacently departing figure and clicked her tongue without saying a word.
Look how smug he’s beco!
After dinner.
Feng Hui finished tidying up the kitchen and sat down with her children on the sofa for a chat.
“Suqing, do you know what Tangtang likes?
She hasn’t accepted anything we prepared for her except the books.
Since Tangtang saved you, we have to properly thank her. What do you think would be a good gift?”
Qin Suqing looked troubled, “…But Tangtang doesn’t want anything!”
“Whether Tangtang wants it is her business; we need to show proper gratitude.
Never mind, I’ll think of sothing myself.
The hospital has been a bit busy lately, and I am not sure if I can find the ti to visit.
If I can’t make it, it will have to be you and your dad,” Feng Hui said.
Qin Qiaomu raised his hand from the side, interjecting, “Mom, if you’re busy, I can go for you.”
Feng Hui shot him a glance, “You focus on your studies.”
The youth pouted, and his entire deanor deflated.
His careless leg-crossing incidentally lifted the tablecloth on the table, revealing the cash underneath.
Qin Qiaomu took out the money, “Who put the money here?”
Feng Hui and Qin Suqing looked at each other, then shook their heads together.
“…No, could it have been Tangtang who left it?” Qin Suqing guessed.
Feng Hui nodded, “It should be.”
Just two days ago, when she was wiping the table, she had not seen any money under it.
That little girl…
–
Lin Family.
Before making Braised Pork, Li Xiuli seriously recalled the recipe her sister-in-law had casually ntioned before.
Without giving it much thought, she got to work.
Having cooked for decades, she was an old hand at it; once she knew the thod, she worked efficiently.
Zhou i took care of the fire, and Ning Xinrou was her helper.
The kitchen was filled with the bustle of cooking.
The entire village knew that the Lin Family had bought at.
Li Xiuli thus didn’t hide it like the last ti; the kitchen door was left open.
As she stir-fried the large chunks of at, the rich aroma drifted up into the village sky.
The scent was so tantalizing that the village children cried out hungrily, clamoring for at.
The Lin Family paid no mind to others, as they too were salivating at the sll.
The younger ones felt it even more.
Goudan, seeing that the at wasn’t ready yet, took his siblings to Lin Tang’s room.
Seeing Lin Tang was busy, the little ones didn’t go in.
They just poked their heads around the door and quietly watched her.
“Brother…”
Just as Choudan was about to speak, Goudan quickly put up his index finger to his lips and shushed him.
He whispered, “Don’t talk, auntie is writing. Grandma said we can’t disturb her when she’s studying!”
The little ones, with confused faces, nodded obediently, covering their mouths and staying silent.
Lin Tang heard the noise, the corners of her lips lightly curling and a glint of amusent in her eyes.
She wrote quickly and her thoughts were clear.
The essay was almost finished.
She was now proofreading it.
Seeing her nieces and nephews poking their heads through the door, Lin Tang simply put down her pen and waved them over.
“…Goudan, bring your brothers and sisters over!”
Seeing that his aunt had stopped writing, Goudan led his siblings into Lin Tang’s room.
“Auntie!”
“Auntie!”
The children called out to their aunt with delight, their thin faces beaming with smiles.
“Hey!” Lin Tang responded and pulled out a few milk candies, “Are you getting impatient? Have a candy first!”
As she said this, she gave one to each child.
The candies had been practically forced upon her by Qin Suqing.
Choudan and Niuniu were very young, and upon receiving sothing to eat, they imdiately unwrapped it and popped it into their mouths.
Once they tasted it, both children’s eyes widened in amazent.
So sweet!
So delicious!
“…Auntie… so yummy!!” Choudan jumped onto Lin Tang’s legs, his eyes sparkling.
Seeing this, Niuniu also hugged her legs.
“Yummy, so yummy!!”
The milk candies weren’t small, and the children’s mouths were tiny.
Speaking with the candies in their mouths was a bit awkward, and their words were slightly muffled.
Hutou, hearing his younger siblings say it was delicious, couldn’t resist and ate his as well.
Goudan liked to savor anything edible.
He was reluctant to finish it all at once.
Seeing this, Lin Tang patted his little head.
“Why aren’t you eating? Do you want to save it again? How much will be left if you keep saving it up before eating?”
“Eat it now! Everyone has one, see if your brothers and sisters have eaten theirs?
You’re not that old; don’t always think about saving for your brothers!”
