Chapter 72: Eat noodles

“The factory is huge, the roads are especially smooth, and there are trees on both sides; the workshops are built with red bricks and they look pretty good.

If big brother and second brother are curious, I’ll take you guys to see sometime…”

“A state-run restaurant, huh? Everyone can see the outside, and inside there are just a few tables, a counter for ordering and paying, nothing too remarkable…”

Lin Qingshui curiously asked, “I heard that the waiters at state-run restaurants have eyes on the tops of their heads, is that true?”

“That’s not the case, it’s just that their attitudes are average,” Lin Tang replied.

But that’s normal.

At that time, supplies weren’t abundant, and the state-run restaurants held the rice bowls.

To them, whether you want to eat or not, they’re not worried about selling.

“I also heard those waiters would hit people? Did you see that?”

Lin Tang couldn’t help but laugh, “Second brother, who told you that? They do have a bit of a temper, but it wouldn’t go as far as hitting someone. If things blew up, they could kiss their jobs goodbye.”

Everyone working there had some sense.

Those who thought too highly of themselves would at most pick on the ones they saw as easy targets, disparaging and cursing them, but they wouldn’t dare strike someone.

“…I see!” Lin Qingshui said, somewhat disheartened.

Sure enough, rumors were just rumors!

Lin Tang: Second brother, what’s with the disappointed tone?

Lin Qingshan was reheating the lamb in the lunch box.

A rich aroma wafted out, causing Lin Qingshui to slobber subconsciously.

Man, worthy of the meat dishes from a state-run restaurant!

That fragrance…

Lin Qingshan couldn’t resist it either, he scooped the lamb out of the pot and covered it with a bowl.

Then, he started reheating the buns.

Soon enough, that delicious smell filled the air!!

Lin Qingshui’s eyes were already glued.

“Aiyo, this smell is too enticing! Big brother, I think the third brother is asking for a beating, don’t you think?

He ate an entire plate of fresh meat dumplings all by himself, are you angry?”

Lin Qingshui was already clenching his fists.

Lin Qingshan gave him a glance and remained silent.

“…You go, I support you.” He said coolly.

Tangtang was nearby, he couldn’t lose his image as a responsible big brother.

“I’ll do it myself then!”

The Lin brothers grew up quarreling with each other, even their fights were just play, and Lin Tang watched with a smile, not intervening.

When the steaming buns were ready, noise came from the courtyard.

“Why is someone in the kitchen? Could it be Tangtang?” Li Xiuli saw smoke rising from the chimney and wondered aloud.

Ning Xinrou’s weary face relaxed, and a smile emerged in her eyes.

“It should be, Tangtang is always sensible.”

Li Xiuli sighed, wishing her daughter wasn’t so sensible all the time.

Hearing the conversation, Lin Tang quickly came out of the kitchen.

“Mom, sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, you’re back. Where are Goudan and the others?”

She busied herself with pouring water for washing faces.

Ning Xinrou took the water, smiling, “They are still playing outside, don’t worry about them, they’ll come back when they’re hungry.”

“Oh,” Lin Tang replied.

Li Xiuli first dusted off the dirt from her clothes, washed her face, and felt half the fatigue leave her body.

“And your dad, I’m sure he’s being carried away by now, definitely boasting somewhere. I know him; if you guys are hungry, let’s just eat first.”

The old man wouldn’t come home until he had his fill of boasting!

“Should I go call Dad?” Lin Tang asked.

Li Xiuli stopped her, her face unable to hide her smile.

“You go out? If you go out there, you won’t be able to come back; those people will keep pestering you with questions.”

Her tone was filled with undeniable pride.

“Second Brother, go call your dad back for dinner and tell him to leave any discussions for the evening.”

“Okay, I’m on it.” Lin Qingshui responded and ran out of the house.

It’s important to call Dad back for dinner.

Not being able to eat the meat feels just too frustrating.

The truth was—Li Xiuli had thought wrong.

Today, Lin Lu was eager to return.

Lin Qingshui had only gone about ten meters when he saw his dad returning with the third brother and several nephews and nieces.

Several brigade members followed at his side.

“Dad, Mom told me to call you back home for dinner,” Lin Qingshui said.

As he spoke, he went forward to pick up Niuniu, who was walking slowly, and lifted Choudan, who was softly giggling, in one arm.

These two little ones were young with short legs, making their walking exceptionally slow.

“Goudan, Hutou, walk faster; we’re having meat at home today…”

The kids had shared a bun earlier and were feeling quite content.

Hearing there was more meat to come, they perked up and ran towards home.

Lin Lu also perked up and said, “Let’s also hurry back, so we don’t make your mother anxious.”

After saying this to the people who had come back with him, he led his children and grandchildren home.

Envy nearly drooled from the mouths of the villagers.

“Lin Second is bound to enjoy great fortune in the future!”

“That’s for sure. The Lin family’s young daughter is indeed remarkable. Who can compare?”

“Always the children of other families that are outstanding. When will it be our turn…”

“Just a while ago, the Lin family was still tightening their belts; now, look how much their life has improved. Do you believe the Lin family might become the richest in our brigade someday?”

“No matter how rich, it’s still all theirs. Just focus on raising pigs. Once the pigs are grown, we might finally eat our fill!”

…

Inside the Lin family kitchen.

Li Xiuli saw the noodles laid out on the cutting board and was surprised.

“Tangtang, did you bring these noodles home? They look pretty good. I have no idea how people make them.

The noodles are all uniform in thickness, much better than those ground in the village mill.”

The flour was really white.

“Ah? I bought these from Xiaoyun. I don’t know how they’re made, but they looked good so I bought a pack,” Lin Tang said without batting an eye.

These were genuine dried noodles, of course, they were superior to what was currently available.

Even though she had torn off the packaging, their fineness and whiteness hadn’t changed.

Still feeling a bit guilty, Lin Tang changed the subject.

“Mom, I want to eat the noodles you make. The water is already boiling; let’s have noodles tonight, okay?”

Li Xiuli was in a good mood and laughed, “Alright, if my daughter wants to eat them, Mom will make them for you.

Your father and I are lucky to eat the white flour noodles bought by our daughter, I feel we’ve lived a good life.”

With that, she quickly prepared the topping and started cooking the noodles.

The fire in the stove was burning strongly.

It wasn’t long before a delicious aroma filled the air.

“This is nothing. Your parents’ good fortune is still to come!” Lin Tang, smelling the delicious scent in the kitchen, sniffed.

She loved her mother’s homemade noodles and had always craved that taste.

Before, they couldn’t afford to eat such noodles, but today they finally could.

Without avoiding her daughters-in-law, Li Xiuli said to Lin Tang:

“Tangtang, now that you have a stable job, your father and I can rest easy.

“But you should keep the money you earn for yourself. We have your three brothers; it’s not reasonable to depend on a young girl to support the household…”

We mustn’t let the family get used to an inflated lifestyle.

Of course, Lin Tang understood her mother’s thoughts, and she knew her mother wanted the best for her.

The family was in a tight spot now, weren’t they?
