Chapter 71: 71 Sewing Machine Ticket

Chapter 71: 71 Sewing Machine Ticket

“Lin Er, you sure have it different now, eh? You’ve got good tobacco to smoke, and from time to time you even get to eat meat,”

said someone, their mouth watering.

“Indeed! The second household of the Lin Family is leading a better life by the day…”

“Lin Er, if you have any secrets to getting rich, don’t forget to give the brigade a lift. After all, we’ve all been from the same village for generations!”

“We wouldn’t just think of ourselves; even a little hint would do…”

…

Lin Lu was surrounded by people who praised him, which made him feel extremely comfortable.

“Sure, if there’s anything good, I naturally won’t forget you guys.

Didn’t I think of you when it came to castrating pigs? How are they? They must be looking quite spirited, aren’t they?”

This was the first time he’d been so popular, all thanks to Tangtang’s blessing!

The brigade members, thinking of the plump pigs at home, were so delighted they almost split their grins to the back of their heads.

They were the picture of triumph.

“Lin Er, you’re so generous. You’re definitely the paragon of leading the brigade members to grow collectively.

At the year’s end when they select the five exemplary families, that has to be yours!”

“Yeah, exactly! Speaking of pig raising, Lin Er, I must thank you.

My pigs are growing so well; their trotters are energetic, and as for the fat on their bellies—my goodness!

If they keep growing like this, let me tell you, we’re going to make a fortune by the end of the year!”

The speaker was a lean old man.

Ever since he started raising pigs, he couldn’t stop talking about them wherever he went.

“Hey, Old Guo Tou, I suggest you take a look at the pigs from the Lin Family and the Jian Household. Now theirs are really getting fat.

They waddle as they walk, even fatter than any I’ve seen before, and the fat on their bellies shimmers…” Qi Dafa smacked his lips, speaking with envy.

How on earth did Lin Er’s family raise their pigs?

They were noticeably larger than his own.

Qi Dafa’s home was next to Lin Lu’s.

Villagers would drop by for a visit from time to time, so he couldn’t help but notice.

Old Guo Tou looked eagerly at Lin Lu, “Lin Er, is what Dafa said true? What do you feed your pigs?”

Others, who were concerned about their own households and hoped to make a tidy profit from pig raising, looked at him with shining eyes.

Just then, the end-of-work whistle blew.

People didn’t care about the points for the moment; they grabbed their farming tools and followed Lin Lu, eager to learn.

Meanwhile, the three brothers from the Lin Family had long since taken their lunch boxes and gone home.

Lin Lu didn’t deliberately hide anything, sharing the information with the men of the village along the way.

From keeping the pigsties clean and ventilated to how many meals to feed a day, and what to feed them…

The brigade members listened, dumbfounded.

Heh, who knew there were so many details to feeding pigs?

No wonder Dafa said the pigs from the Lin Family were growing so well.

Listen to what they say—Lin Tang, the little girl, even made special feed for the pigs.

That girl from the Lin Family is truly amazing!

Only those gossipmongers in the brigade would say that studying is useless; they can see studying is anything but useless.

If it wasn’t for being a high school student, could Lin Tang have become a worker? If she hadn’t studied in the county, would she know all this knowledge about pig raising?

Why don’t the village idiots know it?

Why don’t those busybodies who only know how to argue know it?

In their minds, they lifted Lin Tang up high, utterly forgetting that there were other middle school students in the brigade.

–

After Lin Tang arrived home, she washed her face and returned to her room.

A voice from the system announced,

[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, you’ve earned a sewing machine ticket.]

“Tongzi, do you feel like I’m different somehow?” Lin Tang asked, her fingers caressing the shiny ticket.

[Did you put on new clothes?] The system was puzzled.

“No, no, no…” Lin Tang waved her hand and unfolded the sewing machine ticket, making it clang.

Her voice carried a hint of guile, “My status has changed, I’ve become a worker now, don’t you have anything to say?”

“I’m not asking you for a hundred and eighty thousand points out of the blue. How about a chance at the lottery?”

“As the saying goes, to make a horse run, you first have to feed it hay. This is my first time taking on a task, right? And I succeeded, didn’t I?

Even though there’s a reward, I still took a risk, and if I wasn’t careful, I could have ended up owing you points.

I finally succeeded, and don’t you think you should reward me a bit to keep things reciprocal so we can collaborate well? What do you say?”

System: “…” Don’t think I don’t know you’re trying to swindle me.

But then again, upon reflection, the system thought that the host made sense.

[…As a reward for completing the task successfully, the host is awarded one lottery opportunity.]

Lin Tang’s eyes lit up, she brought up the lottery interface and immediately clicked to draw a prize.

[…Ding! Congratulations to the host for winning 333 points.]

“Tongzi, aren’t you shortchanging my points? I should have actually gotten 666 points, right?”

[…No, the system is upright and would never do anything underhanded.] The voice staunchly defended.

Lin Tang: “…” She wasn’t entirely convinced.

But having something was better than nothing.

[Points: 853]

[System Space: A packet of Tomato and Egg Noodles, two pounds of Peach Crisp, two pounds of oil, ten pounds of wheat flour, ten pounds of fine rice, twenty pounds of coarse grains]

Lin Tang took out the packet of Tomato and Egg Noodles and carried it to the kitchen.

It was lucky the cloth bag she carried on her was no small size, appearing quite full.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to take it out.

Today they bought buns, and there was a meat dish, so her mother would certainly cook a thin porridge.

Her father and brothers had large appetites at home, which definitely wouldn’t suffice.

She planned to cook the noodles, add some greens, drizzle some chili oil, and the taste was bound to be great.

It’s a pity that the tomatoes in the courtyard weren’t ripe yet, otherwise Tomato and Egg Noodles would be even more fragrant.

Just as Lin Tang came out of the kitchen,

Lin Family’s eldest and second brothers returned, with a stride as if they owned the world.

Seeing his sister looking pleased, Lin Qingshan said, “Tangtang, congratulations on becoming a worker.”

Lin Qingshui also smiled, “Tangtang, you really have made us proud. You’ve truly brought honor to our old Lin Family.”

Having such an outstanding sister was theirs, and that could make him proud for half a year.

“Big brother, second brother, where’s dad and the others?” Lin Tang poured out washing water, placing it on the wooden rack for the brothers to wash their faces first.

After Qingshan washed his face, he felt much fresher.

“They’re at the back. You know dad’s temperament, haha, he won’t come back until he’s had his fill of talking.”

Qingshui put down his lunch box, washed his face hastily, then said while drying off, “Tangtang, did your exam go smoothly today? Tell us about it in detail, will you?”

That way, he could show off more convincingly when boasting outside.

“What would you like to hear, second brother?” Lin Tang laughed.

As she spoke, she picked up the lunch box and headed for the kitchen to reheat the food and buns.

Qingshui followed her into the kitchen to help.

“Anything, just talk about the factory, the state-run restaurant… whatever you fancy,” he said.

He quickly put some dry kindling into the stove, struck a match, and lit the fire.

Qingshan moved a stool inside.

He pressed Lin Tang’s shoulders, signaling her to sit.

He then went over to the stove to heat up the dishes himself.

“Tangtang, you sit and talk; I’ll heat things up. Don’t get your hands rough.”

Lin Tang didn’t refuse, sitting beside her second brother, her voice soft as she began to speak.
