Chapter 222: Is She a Spy? (Page 1/2)

Huo Qingci came to pick up Lin Man after get off work. Lin Man smiled and took out the bicycle ticket. "Qingci, look what I have in my hand?"

"Bicycle ticket! Where did you get it?"

"Doesn't our school distribute two bicycle tickets every year? This time, Teacher Gao Pengfei won the lottery, so I asked him to return it."

Huo Qingci joked, "I thought you won it. How much is this ticket?"

"Teacher Zhang asked for eighty yuan, so I gave him eighty yuan! How much did you pay for Commander Lu's bicycle ticket on the island?"

"It cost a hundred yuan, and it must have changed hands several times! It's a pity that the bicycle is hard to get back, otherwise we wouldn't have to spend money to buy another one."

"Yeah, I think it's a pity too."

Lin Man also felt it was a pity. The bicycle she bought on the island was stamped with the island's seal. If she put it into the space and then took it out again, it would definitely be discovered by her family.

It is very troublesome to send it by mail, not to mention that the island is very far away from Beijing, and I don’t know how much the shipping cost.

I wanted to sell it, but it was difficult to get rid of it at the moment. Later I thought I’d give it to my aunt as a favor.

What's more, Liao Sijie is helping her take care of the child. If they give the bicycle to her aunt, Liao Sijie will pay more attention to their child.

Huo Qingci handed the ticket back to Lin Man and said, "This ticket is valid until the end of the year. Manman, when are we going to buy bicycles?"

"Go buy it when you have time. I don't know if the female comrades in the compound will find out and start gossiping."

"Don't worry about them. We are spending our own money, so we can use it however we want."

"An An's birthday is in about ten days. Do you want to invite your uncle and aunt to dinner?"

"Go back and ask Grandpa. We didn't have a dinner for Ningning's first birthday before, so we should have two or three tables for An'an's first birthday this time, and invite Grandpa and the others as well."

Lin Man is now worried that it will rain on her son's birthday. If it rains, she won't be able to treat everyone to a meal.

"But the place we live in now is too small, and it's too far to go back to the courtyard, and I can't take a day off that Tuesday. The weather hasn't been very good recently, and I'm worried it will rain."

"We'll see when the time comes. If it doesn't rain, we'll set up a few tables in the backyard. If it rains, we'll just set up one table and call Mom and Dad over."

Before going home, Huo Qingci took out some vegetables and fruits, as well as a grass carp and a chicken from the space. Lin Man only took out two kilograms of shrimp that her son liked to eat from the space.

As soon as I got home, I found that my fourth uncle Huo Junlin had come with my fourth aunt Yang Huiling and his son Huo Wenjing.

There was another strange woman in the room. Lin Man didn't know who she was and thought, could this person be Huo Wenjing's girlfriend?

The twins Huo Wenqi and Huo Wenyue, who are one year older than her, have already married. Huo Wenyao, who is 17 years old this year, went to the countryside and naturally did not follow them.

Huo Wenjing is one year younger than her and is twenty years old this year, which is just the legal age for marriage, so she brought her partner back immediately?

Fortunately, they brought back a lot of vegetables and fruits from the space before going home, otherwise I would have to eat cucumbers and potatoes with them.

When Huo Junlin saw Lin Man and Huo Qingci coming back, he took the initiative to come over and say hello, "Qingci, Qingci wife, you're back!"

Lin Man placed the fruits and vegetables on the table and greeted Huo Junlin and Yang Huiling with a smile, "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, you're here!"

Yang Huiling saw the chicken, fish, and a bag of shrimp in Huo Qingci's hands, and her face lit up with joy. "Hey, Qingci, did you know we were coming? Did you buy so many dishes specially?"

What the hell do you know? Unless it’s a holiday, my uncle and aunt basically won’t come to see grandpa. They obviously don’t live too far away, so who knew they would come today.

There must be a reason for him to come here specially. Looking at the woman next to his cousin, he guessed that they must be bringing someone for his grandfather to help look for.

Huo Qingci explained, "Aunt Si, it's better to be lucky than to be lucky. You are in for a treat. Manman got her salary today, so I bought some food to celebrate."

Yang Huiling looked at Lin Man with a smile, "Oh, Xiao Man is now a teacher. Congratulations! If I had known about this opportunity, I wouldn't have sent Yaoyao to the countryside."

Huo Qingci said, "Aunt, there are many people taking the exam, but very few are admitted. My cousin is only seventeen years old this year, and she's too young. How can she teach junior high school without even attending high school?"

Yang Huiling thought, Lin Man’s actual age is only twenty-one years and five months.

The oldest student in the first grade is only sixteen or seventeen years old. She is only a few years older than the students. Isn't it just luck that she has been able to study in college for two years?

If it weren't for the higher-ups forcing their family to send one of their children to the countryside, she would have wanted to wait another year for Yaoyao to get married so that she wouldn't have to go to the countryside.

Huo Junlin said to Huo Qingci, "Your fourth aunt is joking, Wen Jing, why don't you introduce your partner to your eldest brother and sister-in-law?"

Huo Wenjing pulled his girlfriend over and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, this is my girlfriend Su Yingzi."

When Lin Man heard the name, she couldn't help but feel a little confused. Was her name Su Yingzi or Su Yingzi?

At this moment, Su Yingzi smiled perfectly and gracefully extended her hand, as if ready to shake hands with Lin Man. She said softly, "Hello! I'm Su Yingzi."

Lin Man stared at Su Yingzi's hand and noticed that her palm was a little rough.

This detail made Lin Man feel suspicious, and she began to speculate secretly: Could it be that this woman is a spy sent by the Sakura Country?

With such doubts, Lin Man decided to test the other party further.

She smiled and asked, "Hello, excuse me, I'd like to confirm. Is the 'Ying' in your name the '英' (hero) or the '樱' (cherry blossom)?"

Huo Wenjing interrupted, "Sister-in-law, my crush is named 'Ying' as in 'Sakura'. Look at her, isn't she as beautiful as a cherry blossom in full bloom?"

However, Huo Wenjing's explanation did not dispel Lin Man's doubts.

On the contrary, she became more and more suspicious of Su Yingzi's identity. Cherry blossoms are indeed beautiful, and they were also introduced from China to Sakura Country.

But compared to many other famous flowers, cherry blossoms are rarely used to describe a woman's beauty in China.

Lin Man was secretly thinking in her heart. She decided to remain silent for the time being and continue to observe Su Yingzi's words and actions.

She smiled slightly and responded, "Well, Wen Jing has a really good eye. The person he found is indeed very beautiful."

Her tone seemed casual, but there was a hint of vigilance in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Man praising her son, Yang Huiling smiled like a flower, "No way, Xiao Man, you are still more handsome."

Lin Man asked casually, "Miss Su, do you like fish? Do you like fried fish or boiled fish?"

Su Yingzi nodded and said, "Sister-in-law, I like eating fish. I can cook it any way I want."

"Okay, you guys take a seat first. Qingci and I will go prepare dinner."

Lin Man wondered how to get this woman to reveal her true colors. She might make some grass carp sashimi and serve it on the table, just to see if she'd pick it up and eat it.
