?Chapter 29: What you want, achieve with your own hands Chapter 29: What you want, achieve with your own hands Feng Hui saw the two young girls leave and smiled as she set the table, asking Qin Minsheng.
“How about it? Have you thought about how to thank the young girl? Tangtang has been very kind to our family, you need to think carefully.”
She would not be satisfied with anything stingy.
Qin Minsheng nodded solemnly, “Don’t worry, I have it all figured out.”
The factory just happened to be hiring, why not give the young girl a letter of recommendation?
Thinking about the incident he had heard about, his brows were tightly furrowed.
Alas, it’s not easy for the young girl.
She had finally gotten into college…
When they saw the two young girls come back into the house, the couple stopped talking.
Today, Feng Hui pulled out all the stops in her cooking.
The rich and fatty Braised Pork, Tomato Scrambled Eggs, Spicy Tofu, a spinach soup, and the rice was fragrant white rice, each grain distinct.
In those times, materials were scarce, and white rice was not something you could eat at every meal.
Only the Qin family, a dual-income household, could now and then enjoy a good meal.
Now Qin Suqing also had a monthly salary, so they could afford to eat well occasionally.
The dishes served today had cost quite a bit.
“Tangtang, hurry up and eat while it’s hot. Try auntie’s cooking; if you like it, come by more often,” Feng Hui welcomed her warmly.
Lin Tang felt embarrassed as soon as she saw the dishes on the table.
“This is too extravagant, uncle and auntie have spent too much.”
They were too generous.
She thought it would be just a simple meal.
Who knew there would be meat and eggs, and even steamed white rice; how could she accept this so easily?
Feeling the money in her pocket, Lin Tang felt a little relieved.
Feng Hui, seeing the young girl’s face flush red, found her all the more endearing.
A sensible child, aware of propriety, was extremely likable.
Eagerly, she put a large piece of Braised Pork on Lin Tang’s plate, laughing as she said, “It’s what we should do, you saved Qingqing and you’re her classmate. What’s wrong with auntie treating you to a meal?”
“Enough talk, let’s eat.”
Lin Tang nodded, picking up the meat and putting it in her mouth.
It was greasy and satisfying for her stomach that lacked oils and fats.
Feng Hui’s cooking skills were not bad and she was generous with the ingredients, making the flavors of the dishes exceptional.
At the very least, in the current environment, it was top-notch in deliciousness.
“This is delicious, auntie, you’re so skilled!” Lin Tang praised her sincerely.
The young girl’s eyes sparkled as she earnestly complimented, her pretty face tilted, touching one’s heart with genuine sincerity.
Feng Hui grinned, showing all her big white teeth, and continued to heap other dishes onto Lin Tang’s plate.
“If you like it, eat more; don’t be shy with auntie.”
Lin Tang quickly said, “Auntie, you eat too, don’t worry about me. I can serve myself.”
Qin Suqing also chimed in.
“Mom, let Tangtang serve herself. Maybe what you’re giving her isn’t what she likes best.
Plus, if you’re so polite, Tangtang will definitely feel uncomfortable. So stay out of it.”
Feng Hui: “…”
What’s with this girl?
Disrespecting her mother in front of a classmate, could she really be her own daughter?
Feng Hui glared at Qin Suqing and turned to Lin Tang with a smile, “…Serve yourself whatever you like, Tangtang.”
Her daughter’s words made her feel a bit unsure about how to attend to the guest properly.
Afterwards, they chatted and laughed as they ate.
As the Factory Director, Qin Minsheng made good money and had even more responsibilities, so after dinner, he returned to the factory.
Feng Hui, a small leader at the county hospital, was busy too.
After instructing Qin Suqing to take good care of Lin Tang, she went back to work at the hospital.
“Qingqing, I’ll be heading off; you should be heading to work too, right?” Lin Tang, seeing it was getting late, stood up and said.
She was not planning to go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative today.
She intended to go back to the school to ask about the college examination results.
No matter how much time passed, she had to clarify what needed to be known.
Qin Suqing hastily held onto her, “I’ll ask someone to cover for me and take half a day off; just stay a little longer.”
“No need, I won’t keep you any longer, I have things to do later too,” Lin Tang graciously declined.
Although Qin Suqing was disappointed, she didn’t insist and only said, “Alright then, I won’t keep you.
If you come to town again, don’t forget to look for me, okay?”
Lin Tang looked into the earnest eyes of the younger girl and nodded.
“I will.”
“Wait for me for a sec,” Qin Suqing said, then went back into her room.
Half a minute later.
She came out carrying a big bag.
She walked over to Lin Tang and somewhat forcefully stuffed the items into her hands.
“These are for you, my mom asked me to give them to you, and you’re not allowed to refuse.”
Lin Tang looked down and saw.
A can of malt extract, a dozen eggs, and a book about machinery.
“I can’t accept this,” she said with a frown, pushing the items back into Qin Suqing’s arms.
These items were not cheap.
Any of them could be given as a gift; how could she accept such favors?
But Qin Suqing didn’t take them back, instead she stepped backwards.
“No, you have to take them. My mom packed them just for you.
If you don’t, it means you think my life isn’t worth these things.”
Her mom had said it, no matter what, she had to make sure Tangtang accepted these items.
Lin Tang had a puzzled expression, “?!”.
So if I accept them, it means I think your life is worth these things?
Is that something to be proud of?
“…Your life is worth far more than these items,” Lin Tang said with a smile.
Nothing can compare with a life.
With life, there’s always opportunity; without it, everything is truly lost.
Qin Suqing waved her hand dismissively and humphed.
“Don’t change the subject, you have to take these items. If you don’t want them, throw them away, but they’re yours now.”
Lin Tang had saved her, which meant she had saved Qin Suqing’s entire family.
Her mom and dad were extremely grateful to Lin Tang.
These items were carefully prepared by her parents before they went to work.
Lin Tang felt helpless inside, “Is this really turning into a forceful act of giving?”
“Yes, it is forceful giving, and if you don’t accept it, my dad, mom, me, and my brother won’t have peace of mind.”
“By the way, if my grandparents found out, they would definitely give us a severe scolding. Just accept it,” Qin Suqing said, half-coaxed.
The young girl was being stubborn, making Lin Tang feel even more helpless.
But she knew she shouldn’t accept.
Helping was just a minor effort; it hadn’t taken much.
The Qin family’s items were, after all, quite costly.
Lin Tang accepted the book, “I’ll take the book, but you should take back the rest. I won’t accept them; please don’t make it difficult for me.”
Qin Suqing saw the determination on her face. Sёarch* The N?vel?ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
For some reason, she felt that insisting further would push Lin Tang away.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally gave up.
“Okay, I’ll take them back,” Qin Suqing muttered, looking somewhat crestfallen.
“Mhm, don’t overthink it. If there’s something I want, I’ll earn it myself,” Lin Tang said.
Not to mention she had the system.
Even without it, given enough time, she would obtain everything she desired.
Qin Suqing was startled.
She felt as if Lin Tang, standing before her, was glowing with an indescribable resilience.
“I believe you, you can definitely do it,” Qin Suqing said with a smile.
The young girl came from a good family and had an inherent air of pride about her.
Her eyes curved, shining brightly like little suns.
Clearly, she was well-protected by her family.
