Chapter 171: Chapter 173: She Seems to Have Become Whiter

“Okay,” Tang Yuxin narrowed her eyes happily, “Dad, I want to pick the location myself.”

“All right then, you pick. Wherever you choose, we’ll buy,” Tang Zhinian laughed genially, then affectionately ruffled his daughter’s hair. She had always been mature for her age, particularly after being hit by Sang Zhilan once. She wasn’t one to laugh often, and it had been a long while since he’d seen her this cheerful. In essence, she was still just a child; it was his failing as a father.

As long as his daughter was happy, however much money it required, he was willing to spend.

The next day, Tang Zhinian took Tang Yuxin to look for houses.

“I want this one,” Tang Yuxin didn’t pay any attention to the other houses, and pointed directly at a time-aged house. The exterior plaster was nearly worn off, revealing the extended time that this house had been standing.

“Here?” Tang Zhinian wasn’t very impressed with the place. “It’s a bit sloppy, mainly because the house is old and the location isn’t great either. It’s quite secluded.”

“It’s cheap here. We can afford to buy two.”

Tang Yuxin had already inquired about the price beforehand. Each house would cost them ten thousand. Since the residents planned to move abroad, they were disposing of the houses at a cheaper price. They had two houses in total, and if they were bought together, it might be even cheaper.

“Two houses?,” Tang Zhinian thought to himself. The houses were a bit old, but they could be tidied up. In the future, when he got older, he could move in here and live with his daughter.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you,” admitted Tang Zhinian. He was truly wrapped around his daughter’s little finger. Whatever she said, went.

Tang Yuxin handed in her composition. She walked back and placed her hand on the table, the sunlight outside just so happened to land on her hand, making it glitter.

She lifted her hand. How had she suddenly become fairer?

It seemed she had really gotten fairer.

“Yuxin, how did you become fairer?” Zhang Yindi ran over and extended her arm to compare it with Tang Yuxin’s. Look, we were both dark-skinned earlier, but now you’re noticeably fairer than me.

It did seem that she was fairer. Tang Yuxin held her arm up to her face. She was genuinely fairer than last year. Last year she was still a dark-skinned girl, with an extremely dark skin tone. This year, however, surprisingly, she was trending from the shade of cornbread to that of white bread.

Could it be that the medicine was finally effective? This was in reference to the Cold Fragrance Pills that she had been consuming for eight years, yet hadn’t seen any effect. She had heard that they could make her skin fairer, and that her bones would smell fragrant. But how come they hadn’t had any effect until this year when she felt a little fairer?

No, she wasn’t hoping for a huge effect. She attributed her current fairness to last summer when she hardly went outside. After this summer, she might get tanned again.

Meanwhile, Tang Yuxin’s Chinese teacher was correcting student compositions. Today’s topic was ‘My Father’. The content of these articles was very much formulaic.

The children from rural areas wrote, ‘My father is a farmer.’

The children from the city wrote, ‘My father is a worker.’

The words were very simple and without any bright spots. At some places, even the wording was not fluent. However, being merely first-year junior high students recently transitioning from elementary school, their academic level was equivalent to an average sixth-grader.

The teacher had three Chinese classes and had recently been reading the same compositions. It felt like they were all written by the same person, the only difference was the names and occupations.
