Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

Lin Baoyan sent Wu Zhi away, sat on a stool to calm herself down, and then reviewed the conversation that night.

Wu Zhi's test started from the Harbin Ice Sculpture Festival. Although she didn't know why it was related to the Ice Sculpture Festival, it was normal for her, a primary school student who had just started school for a month, not to know about the Ice Sculpture Festival. As for the Palace Jade Liquor, the code was 180 per cup, such an old-fashioned code, who would recognize it?

What I just said about White Rabbit should be able to dispel Wu Zhi’s doubts.

She reflected on her actions at that time and realized that she was indeed a bit impulsive. It was normal to arouse suspicion. She must not do that again in the future.

After reflecting on it, Lin Baoyan let the matter go. She carefully put the small pile of White Rabbit cookies into a biscuit box and put it in the cabinet in her room. These had been exposed to the public and could be left outside. When she wanted to eat one, she could just eat one and feel happy.

Unfortunately, she didn't exchange for beets or sugarcane. If she had these, she could make her own sugar. But there is very little sugar on the market now, and with so few tickets each month, she often can't buy it.

Thinking about the wheat I planted, I also have some glutinous rice at home. I plan to make some maltose in the space at night. If I can't get sucrose, maltose is not bad. Anyway, I can't find a place to grind wheat for a while, so it's not bad to make some sugar first.

Two days later, He Yushui came to her angrily to complain.

"What do you think of this Wu Zhi? He led my brother astray, but he treated it as if nothing had happened. What should my brother do now? He was even beaten up when he tried to find a matchmaker, so how can he find a partner now?"

Lin Baoyan was puzzled: "Didn't you say that your brother said that the uncle would help him to clarify the rumors? Why was he rejected by the matchmaker?"

He Yushui couldn't help cursing, "Yi Zhonghai, that villain, is that an explanation? He told people that his eyesight was blurry and he saw two people going to that alley, so he thought it was my brother and Wu Zhi. But everyone knows that his eyesight is fine. It would be better if he didn't explain at all. But my brother actually believed his lies."

Lin Baoyan's jaw dropped in shock, and she didn't know what to say to Sha Zhu. However, she didn't think Wu Zhi could be fooled like this.

"Didn't Wu Zhi cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai? Could he tolerate it?"

He Yushui said dejectedly, "No, Wu Zhi has been busy these days and comes back very late at night. Oh, he came to your place last time, right?"

Lin Baoyan nodded and said, "He brought me some local specialties, saying that he saw them when he was on a business trip and thought they were suitable for young girls, so he brought some. He also said that we both have some, so I accepted them. I am really annoyed and don't know how to return the gift. Your brother should return the gift for you, right?"

He Yushui was surprised: "He didn't bring me any local specialties! Why did he bring you local specialties?"

Lin Baoyan hated Wu Zhi so much. If you were to make excuses, couldn't you just make them real? What was the point of making trouble for her now?

I could only say, "When he first came to our hospital, I showed him the way, and he even gave me candy. I didn't expect that he would be so considerate."

He Yushui looked Lin Baoyan up and down, and suddenly said, "Baoyan, I think you seem to have grown taller and prettier."

Lin Baoyan touched her face and said blankly: "Have I become prettier? Aren't they all the same? Well, I've grown a little taller, and my trouser legs are shorter."

He Yushui nervously grabbed Lin Baoyan's hand and said, "Baoyan, remember, Wu Zhi is walking around in that alley. He is not a good person. If he gives you something again, you must not accept it. No, stay away from him."

Now, Lin Baoyan understood what He Yushui meant, and she felt both amused and sad: "Sister Yushui, I'm only 11 years old this year, not 21, but 11 years old. Who would be so blind as to fall in love with an 11-year-old girl?"

I also want to say that this is illegal. No matter how LSP the time traveler is, there is still a bottom line.

He Yushui said awkwardly, "I'm afraid you'll be fooled. You know how good the aunties in our yard are at talking."

Lin Baoyan's heart shuddered. She almost forgot that this was not the 21st century. A person's reputation among the neighbors was very important. Even admission to high school depended on the street opinion of the person. If the reputation was too bad, he would not be recommended to go to high school.

She still wants to go to high school, so it's time for her to pay attention to her reputation.

Now that she knew what Wu Zhi had done, Lin Baoyan no longer thought about how to return the favor. He had already caused her so much trouble, so what else could she want in return?

Lin Baoyan didn't need to think about whether to return the gift or not. The next afternoon, Wu Zhi came back to move out. He moved out very quickly in half an hour. Before leaving, he shouted to the aunties and grandmas who were watching the excitement on the Chao Shou corridor: "Dear aunties and grandmas, I'm moving out. See you again if you are lucky enough."

Afterwards, someone from the street office came and locked the door.

The door was locked, cutting off the eager gazes of the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. They looked at each other, then looked at Lin Baoyan who was standing with He Yushui, and finally their eyes fell on the two rooms, becoming even more eager.

The aunties and grandmas looked at the two rooms, feeling a little confused.

"Isn't this house good? How come another person has moved out after such a short time?"

"Yeah, Xiao Li stayed for several months last time, how about one month for this one?"

"It's been more than a month, but I was on a business trip for half a month."

"Don't worry, if someone else moves in later, they won't be able to stay for long."

"Do you think this house is a little weird?"

"Hey, don't talk nonsense."

"In my opinion, it's just the wrong people. These two are young and I don't think they can be controlled."

Everyone was talking about it, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family looked hesitant.

Lin Baoyan was speechless after hearing this. What the hell was going on?

She wondered in her heart why the helicopter was moved out of nowhere? It was clearly fine that day.

Maybe he was discovered like Xiao Li.

It is possible that he didn't keep his mouth shut and casually took out a huge amount of things from a pocket that was obviously too small. How could he not be reported and then recruited through conversation for being so careless?

You see, Xiao Li was more cautious than him, so he lasted several months longer.

He Yushui beside him gnashed his teeth and said, "This bastard just moved away like that. What should I do with my brother?"

Lin Baoyan was helpless: "Let your brother go to the factory to find him. He can't possibly not care about his reputation, right?"

He Yushui said dejectedly: "My brother felt that Yi Zhonghai had explained it to him, and it would only take some time for everyone to know it, so how could he go looking for Wu Zhi again?"

Well, Shazhu has really been fooled.

Lin Baoyan confirmed again: "Your brother is looking for a matchmaker nearby, right? What about those far away? Have you looked for matchmakers in Qianmen and Xidan?" She added: "It's better to find one as soon as possible. If you wait too long, the word will spread far and wide."

He Yushui was also nervous. Yes, if all the matchmakers knew about it, her brother would have no chance of getting married. She hurried back to find Shazhu. She had to persuade her brother to find one quickly. If he couldn't find one, he should listen to Baoyan and go to the countryside to find one. With enough betrothal gifts, he would be able to find the right one.

Lin Baoyan watched He Yushui hurried home, so she also went back to the backyard.
