Lin Nianhe looked at the straightforward postman boy and rubbed his ears: "What did you call me?"
Only then did Zhou Xu realize that he had spoken his mind. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to explain it more convincingly.
Lin Nianhe slowly narrowed his eyes, his eyes full of menacing threats: "Comrade, Su Yuncheng and I are innocent neighbors and have a small relationship. If you talk nonsense again, I will report you to the commune!"
Zhou Xu laughed and racked his brains before he came up with an excuse: "Yes, I'm sorry, Sister Lin, I, I just... you actually look very much like my sister-in-law! I called you wrong!"
Lin Nianhe: "..." No one with an IQ over 20 can come up with such an excuse.
She twitched the corners of her mouth, tried to brainwash herself, and forced herself to accept it by pressing her head.
"Oh, that's okay, be careful in the future." Lin Nianhe warned seriously with a sullen face, "If you talk nonsense again, I will definitely sue you."
Zhou Xu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, don't worry."
He agreed readily, but he couldn't help but curse in his heart.
What kind of trivial relationship could a simple neighbor have? He had heard from his sister that Sister Lin was sick and Brother Cheng had been waiting on her all night long. Moreover, the things he has been shopping for recently are all girls love to eat, and he even wants to buy milk powder...
This is not a little girl with hair. She is clearly raising her daughter-in-law as a daughter.
Zhou Xu's mind was filled with the love between his brother Cheng and his sister Lin, and he completely forgot about his sister's infatuated love and the misery of seeing Tian'er wiping her tears at home.
Even after Lin Nianhe warned Zhou Xu, she didn't take it to heart - Li Xiaoshan would be misunderstood even if he asked her to give something to Wang Xixi, and it was not normal for Zhou Xu to misunderstand Su Yuncheng and her.
She turned back, planning to help Wen Lan carry the huge package.
As a result, Wen Lan didn't even pause, holding a large package in one hand, and entered the gate of the Educated Youth Point with flying strides.
Lin Nianhe looked at her back and silently retracted his outstretched hand.
It’s because she disrespects Sister Lan!
While she was shaking her head, Zhou Xu had already turned his pedals into hot wheels, pedaling very fast.
If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that when Zhou Xu rides a bicycle, he always exerts more force with his left foot, and even stands slightly on tiptoe when stepping on the pedal with his right foot.
But the inconvenience of his legs and feet could not stop Zhou Xu from escaping at all. He left the scene of the incident as quickly as possible and went straight to Su Yuncheng's home.
Su Yuncheng lived in a bungalow in the courtyard of the police station. The courtyard was neatly kept, with a shed set up on the east side and neatly stacked briquettes. There was a cellar on the west side and a row of onions planted under the wall.
"Brother Cheng! Sister Lin... ahem, Comrade Lin has sent you a message!"
Zhou Xu's IQ always showed up when he saw Su Yuncheng. He changed his tune at the speed of his life and waved to Su Yuncheng at the door with a naive smile.
Su Yuncheng had just returned home not long ago and hadn't cooked yet. He came out after hearing the sound and stretched out his hand to Zhou Xu: "Bring it here."
He was wearing a clean white shirt, his expression on his face was not as gentle as before, his eyebrows were as cold as frost, and he seemed a little nervous.
Zhou Xu handed over the letter, but he didn't leave.
Sure enough, the moment Su Yun accepted the letter, he asked, "How is she?"
"She seems to be in good spirits. I went there when I was off work. She came out of the educated youth center, so she probably didn't go to work."
Zhou Xu cut off the "sister-in-law" part and said the rest.
"Um."
Only then did Su Yuncheng look relieved.
He opened the envelope and caught a glimpse of the note and money inside.
this……
Su Yuncheng closed the envelope without changing his expression, looked at Zhou Xu and asked, "What have you discovered recently?"
Zhou Xu said very sensibly, "Nothing happened to the Shili Brigade," and then got to the point: "But the Jiuli Brigade has been quiet recently. When I went to deliver the letter today, they happened to be holding a meeting. The Zhang family was sentenced to After that, the two children went back to the village and didn't want to worry about the quarrel."
"No matter what, we can't help them." Su Yuncheng said calmly, "What about that matter? No news yet?"
Zhou Xu scratched his head in embarrassment. Obviously, there was no news.
Su Yuncheng was not surprised or disappointed.
Zhou Xu was once a scout under him, and he was discharged from the same group as him due to injury. Su Yuncheng was assigned to the police station. Zhou Xu was originally supposed to return to his hometown to work in farming. Su Yun was worried that he would be unable to do farm work because of his lameness, so he used connections to arrange a job for him as a postman.
Su Yuncheng did not expect at that time that Zhou Xu could also use his spare energy in this position. While delivering letters, he could also collect information from all over the country.
If it weren't for Zhou Xu, it would be really troublesome for him to choose a place for Lin Nianhe to go to the countryside.
Zhou Xu's legs were weak, but he stood upright. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is another thing, but it should not be related to that one - the educated youth from Jiuli Brigade stole eggs from fellow villagers and resold them!"
He does not mean that.
Su Yuncheng frowned.
The world outside is still going on, and the third battle is also in full swing in the educated youth spots.
Wen Lan's package was sent from home. It was a thick cotton coat made for her by Wen Lan's mother and two sisters, as well as a thick quilt.
Neither the clothes nor the quilt were new. It looked like the old ones had been taken apart and a layer of cotton was added.
Such cotton-padded clothes and quilts are naturally not as warm as newly made ones, but they are already the best things the Wen family can give Wen Lan.
Wen Lan didn't mind the heat either, rolling around on the kang with something in her arms, smiling like a flower.
"Look, aren't these flowers pretty? You can't tell it's a patch, right? My mother's hands must be so skillful! In fact, my craftsmanship is also..."
Before Wen Lan had enough words to show off, the door to their room was pushed open.
The three of them turned around and saw Wang Xue standing by the door, frowning at Lin Nianhe.
Lin Nianhe raised his eyebrows: "Do you have a problem with me?"
Wang Xue did not enter the door, but still stood there, looking at Lin Nianhe and said: "Comrade Lin, could you please pay attention to your words and deeds? The postman called you just now... It's nothing we heard. If the fellow villagers heard it, it would definitely be... Let’s talk about educated youth gossip.”
Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, just enough for everyone in the yard to hear.
Wang Shumei was sitting on the kang, fiddling with her letter in her hand. After hearing this, she looked at Lin Nianhe and asked her what happened.
Lin Nianhe smiled softly, stared into Wang Xue's eyes and said, "Didn't Comrade Postman say that I look like his sister-in-law, he just called me the wrong one at the moment."
Wang Xue felt dazzled when she saw Lin Nianhe's smile.
Thinking of Su Yuncheng pushing her bicycle back two days ago... Wang Xue felt as if she was filled with jealousy.
She clenched her fists, not wanting to brush this matter off lightly: "Are you saying that I am targeting you? I am also considering the reputation of Educated Youth Point. Who would believe this kind of sophistry to deceive children!"
Lin Nianhe's lips raised slightly: "Well, why can't you believe it?"
Wang Xue was choked by her words for a long time, and pinched her palms hard before calming down: "Lin Nianhe, can you not just think about yourself when doing things? Can you also..."
"Ah, yes, you are right."
Lin Nianhe clasped his little hands behind his back and nodded perfunctorily: "I'll make a self-examination when I get back, a deep self-examination. How about I punish myself with three more cups? Do you think that's okay?"
"What's your attitude!" Wang Xue was so angry that she couldn't help but jump up and down.
She couldn't figure it out. She was obviously here to be "accounted for", but why was she the one who got angry in the end?
Lin Nianhe suppressed the joking smile in his eyes, and after casting his cold eyes over Wang Xue for a moment, he said calmly: "Of course I have an attitude of solidarity and friendship. Aunt Wang specifically explained it a few days ago. Otherwise, why do you think you are here? After you said the first sentence, can I still hold back from slapping you?"
"You...you still want to do something?" Wang Xue's teeth began to chatter. Remembering the scene where Lin Nianhe kicked Widow Zhao away, she stepped back unconsciously.
"Of course not," Lin Nianhe smiled again, "Aunt Wang said that if you dare not unite your comrades, you will be sent to Beidahuang, so you'd better stop stirring up trouble-"
"I will file a complaint very quickly."
She put her little hands in her pockets, and the person in front of her was not worthy of being an opponent.
