After hanging up the phone, Han Jingchen didn't take the matter seriously.

During this period, he received a mission and was on combat duty. He was on standby at Shanghai Field at any time. Once the plane took off from the island, they would patrol the airspace with three times the number of fighter planes to monitor the enemy's activities. When the enemy took off, they would take off, and when the enemy landed, they would land, forming a confrontation in the air. This was a military comparison between the two sides.

Perhaps ordinary people don't know that during this happy New Year, during the festival when everyone is reuniting, there is a group of people who are firmly stationed along the coast, guarding this peace with nervousness every day.

Their fighter planes and equipment were not more advanced than the other side, so the independent flight team could only practice harder and more complex flight operations so that they could quickly dodge missile attacks.

Han Jingchen was busy every day, either on combat duty or in flight training. His cabin was full of fuel, his guns were loaded, and he was ready to set sail for combat at any time. He had no time to think about love affairs.

For him, objects, warm family, are very distant words.

…

Pei Manning thought about it and decided to go to the scrap yard. She bought a lot of scrap iron and nails from the metal pile at the scrap yard.

In addition, she also picked out a lot of wood, all of which were dismantled from furniture, such as discarded table legs and stool legs, each of which was very long.

When the doorman Zhong Ye checked, he was surprised to see that she, a girl, bought these things. A few years ago, all kinds of metals were collected for steel making, so they are not in a hurry to collect these now, so he allowed the scrap yard to sell them.

"Why did you buy this nail?" asked Mr. Zhong.

Pei Manning said, "Nail some wooden frames."

Mr. Zhong did not ask any more questions and weighed her things. Surprisingly, they were not light. “With so many things, can you carry them with your weak arms and legs?”

Although Pei Manning had a need for space, she couldn't just put it in. "Master Zhong, do you own the cart at the door? If not, can I borrow it and return it to you later?"

Yanzi Lane was not far away. Pei Manning often came here to buy some old newspapers and books. She became quite familiar with Mr. Zhong and occasionally brought him a few cakes.

Mr. Zhong readily agreed: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can push it over tomorrow."

When Pei Manning returned home, he dug a few holes under the courtyard wall, drove nails through the wooden boards and buried them underneath. Then he sharpened the wood he had bought and inserted them into the holes, then covered the top with a layer of weeds.

After doing all this, Pei Manning placed a few potted plums next to the tree. If someone jumped down, it would be difficult to find a place to land, so they could only jump onto the weeds.

"Sister Pei, are you home?" Mrs. Xu came over with a basket and stood at the door looking around.

"I'm here, Mrs. Xu, please come in and sit down." Pei Manning put down the flowerpot and invited her in.

As soon as they entered the room, Sister Xu pulled Pei Manning aside mysteriously and said, "Sister, do you still have the mung bean cake in front of you? Sister-in-law will exchange it for some Fuqiang flour for you."

Pei Manning was stunned: "The mung bean cakes were all eaten up, but I can still make more. How much do you want, Sister Xu?"

"Isn't Chinese New Year coming soon? I thought the cakes sold in department stores aren't as delicious, nor as delicate and beautiful as yours, so I might as well... um, change!" She winked at Pei Manning.

Pei Manning understood and nodded: "Sister-in-law, how much do you plan to change?"

The two of them discussed it, and before leaving the house, Mrs. Xu saw a pile of weeds under the courtyard wall. She was surprised for a moment. Pei Manning usually cleaned the courtyard very well. "Sister Pei, what are you doing?"

Pei Manning: "I sowed some flower seeds, but I was afraid they would freeze and get damaged, so I covered them with grass."

"Oh, is that so?" Mrs. Xu didn't find it strange, because Pei Manning usually liked flowers and plants.

…

When Wu Dezheng was arrested and taken to the Public Security Bureau, the first people to be notified were his family members.

Li Jianrong didn't know about this until his younger brother came to him.

"What did you say? Wu Dezheng was sent to the Public Security Bureau?" Li Jianrong threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Yes, Brother Jianrong, you also know how brave my brother is, how could he rob? There must be some misunderstanding here. Brother Jianrong, you have to help my brother, otherwise my brother will be sent to the farm for reform." After the Chinese New Year, the Wu family received a notice saying that Wu Dezheng was arrested for robbery, and they were all stunned.

Wu Dezheng is a bit lazy and talkative, but he definitely doesn't have the guts to rob!

The family was at a loss, and no one could do anything. Finally, Wu Dezheng's younger brother came to Li Jianrong for help to see if he could get the person out.

"Okay, I'll go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation first." Li Jianrong frowned. This Wu Dezheng was really incapable of accomplishing anything but always causing trouble. He couldn't even handle a single thing and ended up getting himself involved!

But at least they were working for him. If he just ignored it, how would Li Jianrong be able to recruit people in the future? Who would dare to serve him and do things for him in the future?

When he went to the police station to inquire about the situation, Wu Dezheng, who had his arm in a sling, described the incident with exaggeration.

He hated Pei Manning now: "Brother Jianrong, you don't know how arrogant Pei Manning is. I told her that I was yours, and she said that you, the son of the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee, are nothing. Even if the director of the Revolutionary Committee came in person, she wouldn't be afraid."

"If I say that your whole family is not good, then you will definitely not have a good ending."

"She also said that you are a stinky rat in your groin, a coward with a crooked head, and a coward without balls!"

"Say you..."

The more he spoke, the more unbearable it became. At the end, Li Jianrong's face became terribly gloomy, "Alright, stop talking!"

"Brother Jianrong, you must let them release me, otherwise I will be sent to labor reform."

"Let me think of a solution first." Li Jianrong said worriedly. Although his father was in power now, there was still pressure from above. Some things could not be done too much openly, not to mention that a leader from the provincial government had come to inspect recently.

There was such a big commotion over there where Wu Dezheng was sent to the Public Security Bureau, and many people knew about it. Let's wait until the storm has passed before we deal with it.

After leaving the Public Security Bureau, Li Jianrong rode his bicycle towards Yanzitun Alley with a gloomy face.

Do you think he is a turtle with a shrunken head? A rat in the gutter? A coward with no balls?

He really wanted to have a good meeting with Pei Manning!

He was familiar with the road to Yanzi Lane. In the past, that area was where all the famous families lived. Later, it was divided into several units. The surrounding area was full of black-tiled and white-walled courtyards, bluestone alleys, and a simple and old style.

Before I even entered Yanzi Lane, I saw a girl of about sixteen or seventeen, carrying a bag of things, walking out of the bluestone alley. Her braids hung down in front of her chest, her skin was as white as snow, her lips were like cherries, she was simply stunning, and in an instant, several charming words popped up in my mind involuntarily, such as bright eyes and white teeth, the love that could move a country, black hair and red lips, ice-like skin, skin as white as cream...

He stared blankly for several seconds.

The girl was carrying something and looked over calmly. When she glanced at him, his penis felt like it was being pinched hard.

"bump!"

Pei Manning was carrying the garbage, but before she put it into the trash can, she heard a loud noise behind her, followed by the sound of something hitting her head heavily.

She looked back and saw that the person who was riding a bicycle had hit the telephone pole.

He fell onto the ground, his legs and waist pressed down by the bicycle, and the two wheels were spinning in the air.

"Are you okay?" Pei Manning saw that the cyclist passing by seemed to have fallen badly.

Li Jianrong covered his brow which was swollen from being hit by the electric pole, and climbed up from the bed, avoiding his face.

It's so embarrassing!

"It's OK."

Pei Manning nodded. Since she didn't know anyone nearby, she didn't ask any more questions. She just put the garbage into the trash can at the entrance of the alley, then turned around and walked back.

As soon as she left, Li Jianrong finally put down his hands that were covering his face, stood there, looked at her back for a while, then picked up his bicycle and walked towards the Li family yard not far away.

As for the purpose of coming here, there was also that person named Pei something Ning, but I have forgotten where he went.

He now wants to know who this girl is?
