Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

After receiving the report, the higher-ups burst into laughter.

No matter what the reason is, since there is no one around Lin Baoyan who is playing tricks on her, then she can do whatever she wants. It doesn't matter if she gives up halfway, as long as she can stay well.

Yes, you read it right, the above requirements for Lin Baoyan are so simple.

The construction of a country cannot be achieved by relying on one or two supermen. Success has always been achieved through the concerted efforts and joint efforts of countless ordinary people.

Lin Baoyan herself is not a genius. Her existence has already given the country the opportunity to take shortcuts. There is no need to force her to do a job that is not suitable for her, which will make her resentful and will be disadvantageous to everyone.

Time passed as Lin Baoyan studied her freshman textbooks hard.

After the final exam, Lin Baoyan said goodbye to her classmates and returned to the courtyard.

The entire winter was very dry, and the supply of winter vegetables this winter is not ideal. The supply of various off-season vegetables, which were originally in great variety, has decreased. It is said that they have given way to cabbage and radish, which have high yields.

At this time, ensuring the supply of winter vegetables for everyone is the top priority. Anyone else who wants to enjoy them can just go to bed.

Lin Baoyan has a vegetable garden of more than one acre in her space, which she cannot finish eating by herself.

After she decided to do research, she picked a basket of fresh vegetables every day and handed them in together with fruits, not knowing whether the higher-ups would like it or not.

In fact, she knew that her superiors were very lenient towards her. In such a large space, they only sparsely planted more than 9 fruit trees on two acres of land, and the vegetable garden was just over one acre. She ate all the produce herself. When she was still in No. 9, she provided a portion of the fruit to No. every day, and she would only take out some when she remembered.

After moving here, I haven’t taken out any vegetables, let alone fruits.

Therefore, she will fully cooperate with any request as long as it is reasonable.

If you still complain with such a good superior and such a relaxed environment, you are really not a human being.

On the twenty-eighth, Monkey asked her, "How are you going to spend New Year's Eve tomorrow? Are you going to spend it alone or go to the headquarters?"

Lin Baoyan immediately shook her head: "I'm fine living alone, I don't want to go anywhere else."

"Okay, then I'll come early tomorrow to get the things." The monkey blinked and didn't say anything else.

Lin Baoyan nodded: "Okay, let's do it at 8 o'clock in the morning. It will be over early so that you can get off work early and go home to reunite."

The monkey nodded and quickly left from the back wall.

Lin Baoyan had already cleaned the house and started preparing the New Year’s Eve dinner today.

She had gone to a grocery store and spent all the remaining tickets, and then picked out and bought some expensive pastries, among which was the White Rabbit cake that appeared most frequently in the novels written in her previous life.

Seeing the familiar White Rabbit, Lin Baoyan couldn't help but recall the past when Xiao Li and Wu Zhi used to spread this candy everywhere in the same way.

Now she knew that White Rabbit was originally a gift for National Day in 59, and it was only produced after that time and became famous throughout the country. Even at this time, it can be bought in the grocery store near the Agricultural University, which means that its production must be much higher than in the previous life.

This should be the change brought about by the time traveler.

Carrying a lot of things home, Lin Baoyan rolled up her sleeves to prepare for tomorrow's big meal.

This time I’m spending the New Year alone, so I can use whatever ingredients I want, though I’ll have to prepare more.

In previous years, they had not fried various meatballs, so this year they planned to fry more.

Fried meat balls, fried lotus root balls, fried glutinous rice balls, fried tofu puffs, some fried dough sticks, and some small fish.

It's just that the preparation is a bit laborious.

The whole day was spent on the preparation work. For lunch, she just had some steamed buns. When she started frying various foods in the afternoon, Lin Baoyan never stopped eating.

I don't know if the meat balls are fried thoroughly, let's try one. The lotus root balls don't look colorful enough, let's try one. The glutinous rice balls are very fragrant, let's try one.

One on the left and one on the right, by the time all the fried foods were fried, Lin Baoyan was full.

After the fried food had cooled down, Lin Baoyan packed up the forty to fifty kilograms of fried food and took them out of the space.

In this era, perhaps because there is not enough oil and water, everyone has a sensitive nose. As long as the meat and vegetables are a little warm, the smell will be emitted, and you can smell it even from a distance.

Lin Baoyan was not very familiar with the neighbors here to begin with, and she didn't want to arouse jealousy because of the fragrance, or be spied on and discovered that she was abnormal, so she waited until the fried food was cold before taking it out.

As for why it is not placed in the storage space.

As I said, storage space should be used if it can be avoided.

The next afternoon, Lin Baoyan sent some fried food to Li Xia next door, made it clear that she would not have any other activities in the evening, and then returned home, locked the yard door, and prepared to eat the New Year's Eve dinner alone.

Last year I had Wu Zhi and Zhou Kangzhan to accompany me, but this year I am alone.

Feeling a little down, Lin Baoyan looked at the food on the table that was enough to feed ten people. She picked up the chopsticks and was about to start eating when she heard someone knocking on the courtyard door.

Lin Baoyan was a little puzzled. It was already this time and everyone was going to have the New Year’s Eve dinner, so why was someone coming to see her? Could it be Wu Zhi or Zhou Kangzhan?

Thinking of this possibility, Lin Baoyan's eyes lit up. She threw away her chopsticks and ran out the door quickly.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard was Zhou Kangzhan.

"Brother! How come you have time to come here?" Lin Baoyan was so happy. She never expected to see Zhou Kangzhan at this time.

Zhou Kangzhan smiled and said, "You won't let me in?"

Lin Baoyan smiled and waited for Zhou Kangzhan to come in. She saw Li Xia sticking her head out of the yard, smiled at her, nodded, and went home.

Zhou Kangzhan stood two or three steps away from the door, flapping his hat hard against his body, and fine sand fell to the ground.

Lin Baoyan patted his back and said with a smile, "Brother, it's very windy and sandy today. There's sand all over your body."

Zhou Kangzhan wiped his face and said, "Yes, it is indeed very windy and dusty."

The two men shook off the sand, went into the house, and quickly closed the door.

Seeing the table full of food, Zhou Kangzhan smiled and said, "Not bad, you are living a good life, the New Year's Eve dinner is quite sumptuous."

Lin Baoyan smiled with her lips pursed, and while smiling, she called him to eat.

"Eat quickly, these have been out of the pot for a while, if you don't eat them now they will get cold."

"Okay, let's eat first. I'm really hungry."

The two of them didn't even think about drinking something to celebrate. They each picked up their chopsticks and started eating the sumptuous dishes on the table.

When their stomachs were almost full, the two of them slowed down their eating and were in the mood to chat.

Lin Baoyan is still very excited.

She also knew that Zhou Kangzhan had been transferred to the position of deputy director of the branch. The situation in the city was complicated and the security pressure was great. Theoretically, it was unlikely that Zhou Kangzhan would have time to come here to see her today. Her current situation was not suitable for excessive exposure. However, it was indeed uncomfortable to be alone on New Year's Eve. Now that Zhou Kangzhan was here, she felt that the question of discomfort did not exist at all.
