My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 200: Can iron boxes sing?

Lin Tang shook her head and blinked her eyes flirtatiously, asking, "No, guess again. Think bolder, what does Dad want the most?"

Lin Lu was still thinking.

Lin Qingmu directly revealed their father’s desire.

"The thing Dad wants the most is definitely something big, a bicycle maybe?"

If they had a bicycle, his sister could come home often.

He guessed in his mind that maybe it was a bicycle ticket?

Lin Tang smiled and said, "Close, guess again?"

Li Xiuli, his confidante, knew Lin Lu the best.

Of course, she knew what he was thinking the most about, a radio like the one they saw at the Jiang Family.

The head of the family, working the fields, was nevertheless concerned with national affairs.

Ever since he heard about national policies on the radio, he would occasionally mention, talking about how the village was not timely in receiving news.

Li Xiuli glanced at Lin Lu with skepticism and said, "...could it really be a radio?"

She knew how hard it was to get a radio.

She said this more as a joke.

Zhou Mei’s eyes lit up, she took a stool and sat next to Lin Tang.

"Tangtang, did Mom guess correctly? It’s not really a radio, is it? Do we have a radio so soon?" As soon as she began to speak, she fell into a self-indulgent rapture.

As she spoke, she convinced herself.

Excitement turned her cheeks red.

Lin Tang: "..." I suspect you’ve put a hidden camera in my bag.

Lin Qingmu, impatient, ruffled the top of Lin Tang’s head.

"Hurry up and say it, Dad and Mom are anxious."

The others looked at him with burning gazes, filled with extraordinary anticipation.

Lin Tang laughed and took out a radio from her bag, placing it on the table.

"Ta-da-da, Mom guessed right, it is a radio."

She said this lightly.

Yet it swept through the hearts of the Lin Family like a broom, leaving a mess.

I don’t know how much time passed.

Lin Lu moved his stiff body.

He tentatively and preciously touched the radio.

"...It’s really a radio!" His smile curled up with joy.

It felt like a dream!

"It was always real!" Lin Tang smiled slightly.

She twisted the switch.

The radio crackled ’zzzzz...’

She adjusted the antenna on top.

Crisp singing came from within.

The Lin Family had never heard this song, but they found it catchy and easy to learn.

"The East is Red, the sun rises..."

Lin Lu and Li Xiuli had experienced this metal clunker making sounds at the Jiang Family; their excitement was palpable though their expressions remained even.

Zhou Mei, seldom visiting the county, really hadn’t seen much of the world.

Hearing the metal clunker suddenly burst into song, she reflexively pulled Lin Qingshui back in shock.

She was mentally prepared to retreat, so she stabilized herself.

However, Lin Qingshui had no such mental preparation.

Pulled inexplicably.

He ended up falling bottom-first to the ground.

A ’thud...’ followed.

The sensitive spot hit a stone on the floor, causing the man to grimace in pain.

His whole face looked terrible!

Lin Qingshui: "..." Every pit I fall into is one my wife has dug.

Zhou Mei, meeting her husband’s deep eyes, felt extremely guilty.

"Well, the thing is, honey, I didn’t do it on purpose. I was just startled. Once bitten, twice shy, it won’t happen again..." She clumsily helped Lin Qingshui up while guiltily explaining.

Lin Qingshui: "..." You still want there to be a next time?

"Alright, enough talking, let’s listen to the song." Lin Qingshui cut Zhou Mei off, his backside hurting enough to make him curse.

Zhou Mei knew she had caused trouble and awkwardly shut her mouth, docile beyond measure.

The woman sat earnestly on a wooden stool, hands resting on her knees, quietly listening to the radio.

When she stopped causing a commotion, the entire courtyard fell silent.

Everyone listened to the song intently.

The four little ones curiously gathered around.

Several little bald heads leaned half over the table, staring at the strange object emitting sound, their eyes sparkling with light.

A tin box that can sing...

It’s so magical!

Having a radio at home greatly affected the Lin Family’s enthusiasm for rest.

The family couldn’t stop listening to the radio.

Anyone who dared make a noise would be met with the deadly glares of the others.

Lin Tang felt helpless in her heart.

She hadn’t mentioned the matter of her driver’s license introduction letter yet.

Had she known, she would have talked about it first.

Well, she could talk about it tomorrow.

-

In the county government compound, at the Ji Family’s.

Ji Yao lay weakly on the bed.

Ji Su held a small basin with pale yellow, slightly sour vomit inside.

"... Are you feeling any better? Have a sip of water first." Shen Lan supported Ji Yao with one arm, wiped the girl’s mouth, and fed her water.

Ji Yao’s stomach twisted with pain.

Empty and uncomfortable.

Ji Su’s brow furrowed slightly.

"I thought you were better, why have you started vomiting again?"

The man moistened a towel, stepped forward, and gently wiped his daughter’s face.

Ji Yao felt exhausted from vomiting, her whole body listless.

Hearing this, she grabbed her parents’ hands, her voice weak and breathless.

"...Dad, Mom, I’m fine, I’ll be alright after I sleep a bit, don’t worry about me."

How could Shen Lan not worry?

Their daughter had been eating and sleeping well in the past few days, and her perpetually pale face had finally gained a bit of rosiness.

She had just finished eating the vegetables from the Qin Family, and now she was vomiting again...

"You go to sleep, Mom will stay here with you."

Shen Lan helped her daughter lie down and tucked in the corner of the blanket for her.

After the young girl fell asleep, the couple left the room.

Ji Su poured two cups of water and handed one to his wife.

"Yaoyao’s been able to eat the past few days, probably because of the vegetables you brought back the other day. Can we get more of that vegetable?" he asked.

Shen Lan also felt that her daughter’s ability to eat was related to that vegetable.

But she wasn’t sure if they could get more.

"Those vegetables come from a friend of Suqing’s, I don’t know if they still have any. I’ll go and ask later," said Shen Lan, her face filled with concern.

Ji Su saw his wife’s knitted brows.

Gave his wife a pat on the back.

"Let’s ask first, and if they don’t have any, we could spend some money to ask that family to grow some for us... Of course, that’s the last resort. Let’s understand the situation first."

Hearing this, Shen Lan temporarily suppressed the worry in her heart.

"Okay, I’ll go find Ahui now. You stay home to take care of Yaoyao."

After speaking, she stood up and headed towards the Qin Family’s.

In less than ten minutes, she arrived at the staff residential compound where the Qin Family lived.

At that moment, everyone at the Qin Family was at home, discussing the arrangements for the next day.

"Ahui, are you home?" Shen Lan called out.

Hearing the familiar female voice, Qin Qiaomu hurried to open the door.

"Aunty Shen, you’re here!"

Shen Lan smiled gracefully, "It’s Qiaomu. Your mother is at home, right?"

"Everyone’s here," Qin Qiaomu replied with a smile.

As they talked, the two of them entered the house.

Upon seeing her friend’s arrival, Feng Hui put down the food in her hand and gestured for Shen Lan to sit down.

"Lan Lan, what brings you here at this time? Where is Mr. Ji? Why didn’t Yaoyao come with you?"

Shen Lan sat down next to her.

"Yaoyao is sleeping, and Old Ji is at home looking after the child," she casually replied and then said, "I came to ask Suqing about something."

Cued, Qin Suqing hurriedly looked up, her eyes filled with confusion.

"Huh?"
