Lin Lu listened as the villagers praised his Tangtang, the curvature of his lips growing ever wider.
After showing off enough, he finally said, "This award was won by my Tangtang in Sea City, they said it was for saving people's lives and property safety. We don't really understand all that, but besides this, there's also an award certificate..."
The Shuangshan Brigade members, who had never been to the Provincial City, had their eyes wide as saucers.
To these folks, the unfamiliar term "Sea City" only signified a place of wealth, where they had everything.
In the eyes of country people, this place was an immensely tall and distant existence.
So when they heard that Lin Tang had won an award from Sea City, the shock and pride were indescribable.
"An award from Sea City, Lin Tang is truly remarkable!"
If the previous 'remarkable' had a hint of flattery, now it was left with nothing but genuine admiration.
"Your Tangtang is really the pride of our entire brigade."
