In the year 1977, Zhan Nanhui, a former Deputy Director of the National Security Bureau, was undercover as a “re-educated” criminal doing manual labor in the countryside. His mission was compro...
Zhan Nanhui, who was sitting in the front, frowned slightly. Brother Tang, Tang A'ren?
"Oh, Sister Wang!" Yi Anan quickly grabbed Sister Wang's hand and told her not to talk nonsense.
Yi Anan hasn't seen Tang A'ren for a long time, and now she suspects that it was Zhan Nanhui who saved her daughter in her previous life, so she no longer thinks about Tang A'ren.
"It's okay, I was just joking!" Sister Wang said with a smile, and then she lowered her voice and asked, "Do you still have your watch?"
Yi Anan looked at Sister Wang: "There is still one piece, but this piece has been reserved by someone else, and I have received the deposit."
"Hey, give it to me quickly. Yesterday I played mahjong with the mayor's wife and she liked it and wanted to buy it. I told her, I told her it was only 10 yuan, but she thought it was cheap because this watch sells for 50 yuan on the black market!" Sister Wang said, "By the way, how much did you sell it to that person for and how much deposit did you receive?"
Yi An'an was afraid that Sister Wang would ask for more money, so she said that she had already received the deposit. Since Sister Wang mentioned the price, she didn't ask for more. She smiled and said, "I'll sell it to her for two yuan and receive a deposit of fifty yuan."
"Okay, you return the deposit to her and sell it to the mayor's wife. You will make 50 yuan in compensation for the deposit!" Sister Wang said, "Xiao Yi, Lao Shen has been at odds with the mayor recently because of some issues. The atmosphere is tense. Your watch may be of great help to me, so you must give it to me!"
Yi An pretended to be embarrassed, and finally said: "Okay, then let Sister Wang do it. Sister Wang has helped me a lot!"
Sister Wang was very satisfied and immediately took out money to pay, fearing that Yi Anan would regret it.
Yi Anan pretended to be embarrassed to take the money and pushed and shoved with Sister Wang for a while before she accepted the money.
Sister Wang drove the car and personally took Yi Anan and Zhan Nanhui to the compound.
Sister Wang asked the driver to help move the things. After they were done, she told Yi Anan to get the watch and she would send it to her while she waited.
Yi Anan agreed and watched Sister Wang leave.
While packing up the house, Yi Anan took out her brand new watch and put it on the table.
Zhan Nanhui turned his head and looked at the watch, stunned for a moment.
Yi Anan noticed Zhan Nanhui's eyes and said with a smile: "You don't understand, this is the trick of business. The more she said it was in short supply, the more she realized that this thing was precious and not easy to come by."
Zhan Nanhui whispered, "That's not what I meant. I'm going to take an exam tomorrow and I might need my watch. Since you already have one, why do you want to sell it to someone else?"
Yi Anan took off Zhan Nanhui's watch, walked forward, rolled up his sleeves, and put it on his hand.
Zhan Nanhui lowered his eyes and looked at the woman with a serious expression.
"I can still get the watch, so I'll return it to you!" Yi Anan said in a low voice.
On the contrary, when this man is admitted to university, they will go their separate ways. This watch is for the daughter-in-law of the Zhan family, and she cannot accept it.
Zhan Nanhui twitched his lips and wanted to explain, but he still accepted the watch silently.
Yi Anan smiled with her lips pursed, feeling a little hopeful in her heart, but she knew it should be so.
After cleaning up, Yi Anan saw that it was getting late, so she simply ordered two bowls of noodles.
While the two were eating, they heard someone knocking on the door.
Yi Anan was stunned for a moment. They had just moved in. Who would come so late at night?
Yi Anan put down her bowl and chopsticks and went to open the door. Lu Changfeng was standing outside.
Lu Changfeng was beaming with joy, holding a pot of blooming azalea in his hand. "I heard that you moved in, so I brought a pot of flowers here to congratulate you on your new home..."
Before Lu Changfeng finished speaking, he saw Zhan Nanhui sitting inside.
Zhan Nanhui sat beside a simple table and chair, his back straight, his short black hair clearly visible, his handsome features looking particularly abstinent and cold, he was only wearing a white shirt with his collar undone, looking very homely, with a section of his collarbone exposed, his fair skin faintly visible.
Although the room was simple, the man had straight shoulders and broad back, dark eyes as bright as the moon, and a noble temperament, as if this cramped and dark place was actually a magnificent house with blooming flowers, and his temperament made people unable to take their eyes away.
Lu Changfeng slowly straightened his back, the smile on his face slowly solidified, he glanced at Yi Anan and asked in a low voice: "Who is this..."
"Oh, this is..." Yi An'an hesitated for a moment. Although she thought that the two would divorce and break up in the future, she still introduced him truthfully. "He is my boyfriend. His name is Zhan Nanhui. He will take the college entrance examination tomorrow."
The moment Lu Changfeng heard the word "destination", he clenched his fingers. He lowered his eyes and looked at the girl with a beautiful smile. "Your blind date is still..."
"We have already obtained the marriage certificate!" said Yi Anan.
Lu Changfeng's heart suddenly sank. He stammered for a long time, wanting to say something. In the end, he just smiled awkwardly: "Since you are going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, I won't bother you anymore. I wish you a happy move to your new home!"
Lu Changfeng turned around, and because of panic, he almost missed the step and stumbled.
Yi Anan quickly stepped forward and grabbed his arm, supporting him for a while, "Secretary Lu, are you okay?"
Lu Changfeng smiled awkwardly and shook his head. He straightened his clothes and whispered, "It was dark, I couldn't see clearly."
Yi Anan nodded: "Then wait until Zhan Nanhui finishes the exam, then you can come and play."
Lu Changfeng nodded, nodded lightly to Zhan Nanhui in the room, then turned and left.
Yi An'an looked at the azalea in her hand. The red blooming flowers were beautiful and festive. Come to think of it, in her previous life and this life, this was the first time she received flowers from a man, although they were potted plants.
Yi Anan carried the azalea into the room with great care, looked at it for a while, and then placed the potted plant on the windowsill.
Zhan Nanhui looked at Yi Anan's cautious movements, frowned slightly, and asked in a low voice: "That is..."
"He's my former junior high school classmate. I just met him this time when I came to the yard. Oh, by the way, this guy is amazing. He had good grades in junior high school. Although his family is poor, he has a good background and was recommended to go to high school and college. Now he is the secretary of the mayor. When I first moved in, many people in this yard greeted him, introducing him to someone, looking for a job, and all of them looked at him. He is amazing!"
Zhan Nanhui frowned coldly, looking at Yi Anan's expression when she talked about Lu Changfeng.
"Do you admire him very much?" asked Zhan Nanhui.
Yi Anan was stunned for a moment. It wasn't really admiration, just some envy.
"Not really!" Yi An'an said, "I just think he's very powerful!"
Zhan Nanhui sneered, isn’t this worship?
"Go to bed early. I'm going to relax and come back to study!" Zhan Nanhui got up and left.
Outside the yard, Zhan Nanhui frowned slightly as he looked at the mark on the wall.
He had been online and missing for half a year, and he thought he had died. Unexpectedly, when he was trying to find a way to leave Yanjia Village, someone actually contacted him again!
