That night, Shi Tingyu said he wanted to collect books and transported some of them out.
Shi's father wanted to go over to help, but she refused.
"The fewer people know about this, the better. If someone from the Red Committee asks, it will be easier for them to get away with it."
"You have been dealing with academics all your life, and it will show on your face whenever you tell a lie. It will be bad if the clues show up again."
Shi's father and Shi's mother looked at each other, and saw a hint of guilt in each other's eyes.
Finally, Shi Tingyu walked into the night with a stack of books in his arms.
The place where they live is the family courtyard of the institute, and there are guards standing guard at the door. There is no need to worry about safety issues, and Shi Tingyu did not leave the family area.
After she exited the room and made sure no one was around, she quietly put her things into the space. Then we took a stroll in the courtyard, the main thing was a walk.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shi Tingyu went back.
When her father and mother saw her coming back empty-handed, they knew she had hidden it. They remembered their daughter's words and did not ask her again if she had hidden it.
The next day, my father and mother went to work at the research institute.
Shi Tingyu put all the things into the space at home.
When Shi's father and Shi's mother got off work, their jaws almost dropped.
So many books...
Shi Tingyu explained: "Don't worry, everything has been properly handled."
Shi's father walked around the room again, not missing any corner. After making sure that there were no more of those things in the house, he stopped talking.
He is still assured of his daughter, she will never do anything uncertain.
Dinner was cooked by Shi Tingyu. Shi's father and Shi's mother didn't know how to cook, and they were very busy on weekdays. Even if they forced themselves to cook, they would only be cooked well, and they couldn't count on the taste.
For the sake of their own appetite, the eldest brother of the Shi family and the original owner practiced good cooking skills. This also made Shi Tingyu breathe a sigh of relief, as he did not have to worry about his good cooking skills being exposed in front of the Shi family.
But even if the original owner took care of all the housework, she still didn't have a good reputation in the family home.
Everyone in the neighborhood said she was too lazy.
But the actual situation is that the original owner doesn't like the workplace. She was abroad before, and now the situation is tense. Her parents are worried that she will get into trouble by saying something inappropriate at work, so they don't let her go out to work.
The Shi family is special. They are high-tech talents brought back to the country by soldiers sent by the country. Otherwise, an educated young man like the original owner who has no job would really have to go to the countryside to become an educated youth.
Shi Tingyu's good cooking skills were forced out of her.
She was once an orphan. After graduating from college, she lived alone and couldn't eat out every day, so she developed good cooking skills.
At that time, the Internet was developed, and you could find recipes for various dishes, whether on Douyin or Xiaohongshu. At first, you followed the recipes, and then you gradually became able to do your own thing independently of the videos.
Sitting at the dinner table, Shi's father and Shi's mother praised Shi Tingyu's craftsmanship as usual.
They are very grateful to have such a daughter.
As parents, they cannot cook for their daughter and eat the fruits of their daughter's labor. The only thing they can do is give her positive feedback.
Listening to Shi's father and Shi's mother's words of praise, Shi Tingyu wondered if the original owner had lost himself in the praises and started running wildly on the road of cooking.
The atmosphere at Shi's family is very good when eating, and they will talk about some relatively relaxed topics.
If there are any important things, they will never be discussed at the dinner table, so as not to affect the quality of the meal.
After the meal, Shi's father and Shi's mother took their daughter and sat on the sofa, looking at her with hesitation.
"Mom and Dad, do you have anything to say?"
Finally Shi Mu spoke up, "Today at the research institute, we received a call from your brother. He will be back tomorrow."
"This is a good thing." The original owner's eldest brother has not been back for more than a year.
"Your eldest brother's comrade is also coming, but one day later than your brother." Shi's father said.
Anyone who is singled out for emphasis when speaking must have a purpose.
Especially the comrade Shi's father mentioned.
She thought about it for a moment and dug up some pictures in the corner of her memory.
The comrade of Brother Shi that Shi's father mentioned was Shen Ziming, an instructor who was partnered with Brother Shi. He had been to their house before and was somewhat interested in the original owner.
The original owner also had a good impression of him, who made him have a good-looking face.
Shen Ziming blushed when he saw the original owner, which unexpectedly poked the original owner's heart.
It's just that the camp has been busy, so the relationship between the two is still in its infancy, and no one has said anything about it.
Seeing that her daughter was silent, Shi's mother said: "Your brother said that Xiao Shen is interested in you, and he came here to meet you. If that happens, you two can get married quickly, and then you don't have to come to us." Let’s go down together.”
This is also the way they thought of for their daughter.
Shi Tingyu had no objection to this proposal.
Not to mention the original owner, she herself is not someone who can endure hardships.
Especially since she was so beautiful, she didn't dare to joke about her own life. She finally managed to live another life, but it wasn't enough.
Shi Tingyu's reaction was expected by Shi's father and Shi's mother.
They also saw some signs about their daughter and Xiao Shen.
Shi's mother urged her to rest early, "Let your brother take you to buy some clothes tomorrow so you can dress up nicely for the blind date the day after tomorrow."
Shi Tingyu obediently agreed.
The next day, Shi Muhan, the eldest brother of the Shi family, came back with lunch.
What greeted him was a table of delicious dishes cooked by Shi Tingyu.
Shi Tingyu looked at the eldest brother who entered the door, and slowly merged his image with the memory of the original owner.
Shi Muhan is twenty-four years old this year. He has a slender figure, pure eyes, and bright eyebrows. From a distance, he has the talent of the stars and the moon. He has an outstanding temperament. He should have a somewhat fairy-like appearance. His peach blossom eyes abruptly break that look. There is a sense of distance and a little more recruiting qualities.
Shi Muhan looked at his sister and laughed, "Why are you so stupid?"
Shi Tingyu came to his senses and quickly stepped forward to help Shi Muhan get his backpack, but Shi Muhan dodged him.
"Those with small arms and legs, go and play aside. This bag is heavy on your hands."
After sitting on the train all night and all morning, Shi Muhan was already hungry. Looking at the meal prepared by his sister, he ate it without ceremony.
I don't know if it was because of the remaining consciousness of the original owner, but Shi Tingyu didn't feel constrained or unfamiliar when facing Shi Muhan, and they got along very harmoniously.
Seeing Shi Muhan's eating movements slow down, Shi Tingyu began to ask about his life over the past year.
The answers I got were all very good, typical of reporting good news but not bad news.
After eating and drinking, Shi Muhan put away the dishes and began to talk to Shi Tingyu about Shen Ziming.
"I won't say much else about Zi Ming. He is my old partner and his character is passable." Shi Muhan said with a bit of sourness in his tone.
If it weren't for the urgent situation now, he would never have arranged a blind date for the two of them so early.
His sister's appearance alone, not to mention her financial conditions, is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Both he and his sister inherited their mother's peach blossom eyes, which are very beautiful with ripples of water, and their noses are straight. When they are not smiling, they are as cold as autumn rain. When they smile, the pear dimples at the corners of their mouths hide a sweet taste, and their eyebrows are curved, See it and forget your worries.
What man wouldn’t be confused by a look like this?
If Shen Ziming hadn't repeatedly insinuated things about his little sister in front of him, he wouldn't have known that his brother still had such thoughts about his little sister.
However, with their family's current situation, it is estimated that only marrying Shen Ziming can solve their predicament.
Shen Ziming's father is the brigade commander of their camp, and his family has some influence in the military. At least he can protect his sister from being implicated in his parents' devolution.
