Chapter 288 What Are You Doing There?

Sun Yi was fooling around in front of Lin Xiangnan, and Aunt Hua just stood aside and watched with an amused expression.

When Sun Yi finished his performance and was ready to leave, Aunt Hua would stand at the door and bid him farewell warmly, "Goodbye, come and play again next time."

"Okay." Sun Yi responded enthusiastically.

As soon as he left, Lin Xiangnan and Aunt Hua looked at each other and laughed wildly in the yard.

Sun Yi hadn't walked far when he heard laughter in the yard and looked back in surprise.

"Xiao Lin and Aunt Hua are living such a comfortable life. All they do is smile foolishly all day long."

Sun Yi was so envious.

He just showed off secretly in front of Lin Xiangnan, and when he returned to the factory, Sun Yi never mentioned anything about his studies.

It's not appropriate to talk to anyone about this, not even my colleagues in the office. Lin Xiangnan is the most suitable person.

Lin Xiangnan has everything he wants and he has a big heart, so he won't have any bad intentions.

Not only Sun Yi thought so, but other people in the family compound also thought so. When they had good news, they were happy to share it with Lin Xiangnan and then ask her for advice.

"You studied at Peking University, you have experience, which one do you think is better, Peking University or Tsinghua University? My child has applied to both schools, but I don't know which one he will get into."

Lin Xiangnan asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, how many points did your child get in the exam?"

"Two hundred and eight!"

"How much?" Lin Xiangnan suspected that he didn't hear clearly.

"Two hundred and eight! This year's college entrance examination is much more difficult than last year. Last year, there were so many people who scored over 300 points in the 132nd Factory and our family compound that I couldn't even count them. This year, not even one scored over 300. My son scored two hundred and eight, the highest! I didn't tell anyone else because I was afraid people would get jealous."

Lin Xiangnan scratched his head, "This score... um..."

"When you took the college entrance examination last time, Wang Shuhua also said that she was brave enough to get in. So this time I told my child to choose a school freely. As long as you are brave enough, there is no school you cannot get into."

People have already finished their exams and filled out their applications, so there's no need to say anything to spoil the fun.

Lin Xiangnan's smile was stiff, and he said reluctantly, "You have a point. It's hard to say for sure."

"Yeah, I told you this is a possibility."

Seeing that the other party was still trying to bring him up with school matters, Lin Xiangnan shouted, "Dabao, what are you doing behind my back again?"

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at each other, sighed, and started crying very loudly.

"Mom, my brother stole my building blocks."

"Mom, my sister hit me."

Lin Xiangnan smiled apologetically at the older sister, "Oh, these two kids are making trouble again, I'll go and deal with them. You sit down first."

After saying that, Lin Xiangnan left the man alone and went to coax the child.

After everyone left, Lin Xiangnan handed a candy to each of the two children. Dabao and Xiaobao immediately became quiet.

"Mom, brother Ergou is ashamed of me being a crybaby." Dabao complained aggrievedly.

Lin Xiangnan: "Two candies next time."

Dabao pouted, still not very happy.

"Three!" Lin Xiangnan said firmly, "Forget about any more."

Dabao smiled instantly, "Hehe~ Mommy is so nice~ I am Mommy's most obedient baby."

"Little clever ghost."

Lin Xiangnan sighed. She had no choice. Neighbors now help each other, but there is no sense of boundaries.

As long as she returned to the family compound, people would talk to her on the street. If she pretended to be busy, people would help her with work and chat with her while she worked.

"People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. This huge fame is also a burden." Lin Xiangnan slumped in his chair in melancholy.

"Sister-in-law, didn't you often have headaches before? Why don't you continue pretending to be sick?" Gu Zhenjun offered a tentative suggestion.

Gu Zhenjun, who is also a college student, does not have this worry. He is a gay man, and when an older woman talks to him, he smiles shyly. Because of their different genders, they usually can't talk to each other.

"Yes." Lin Xiangnan instantly perked up.

This trick hasn't been used for a long time. There is no old Chinese medicine doctor like Dr. Qin in the family compound, so she can continue to pretend.

The two brothers Gu Zhenhua are both veterans. When Lin Xiangnan pretended to be sick, they played supporting roles and made Lin Xiangnan's illness sound as real as if it were real.

This incident reminded everyone of Lin Xiangnan's previous "weak and sickly" character. However, no one came to the family compound to disturb Lin Xiangnan from recuperating.

But all the young people who were familiar with him from Factory 132 came to visit him.

"Teacher, are you okay? Are you sick again? Weren't you quite energetic when you were in school before?"

Lin Xiangnan was lying on the recliner, fanning himself. "My headache won't go away if no one bothers me. You guys should take all the things back. You sent me some food a few days ago, and today you sent me some more. There are too many for me to finish at home."

When Gu Zhenhua goes to the military academy to study, they will have to move. There are too many things and it will be difficult to pack.

Lin Xiangnan spoke sincerely, and Wang Shuhua and the others did not force anything on them. They suggested, "If the teacher doesn't want it, we can take these things to a picnic."

"That's a good idea. It's a good opportunity for us all to get together."

"Picnic?" Lin Xiangnan instantly jumped up from the recliner, "I'll go too."

No one was surprised at Lin Xiangnan's decision. They immediately started discussing where to go, who would take the pot, who would take the basin, and who would take the seasoning.

"It's boring to have a picnic right outside our house. Let's go further away, to Xiaohei Mountain. There's water, we can see the scenery, and we can pick fruits in the mountains."

"It's far away, why worry? Just go there by bike."

Since there was nothing to do at home during the holidays, Lin Xiangnan took his two children and went to join in the fun.

When they arrived at the place, Lin Xiangnan did not take the task of building the stove, but took his two children and went with others to collect firewood.

"Have there been any exercises these two days? Why do I hear artillery fire on the other side of the mountain?" Wang Shuhua asked curiously.

Lin Xiangnan took a bite of the cucumber and said, "I don't know either. Gu Zhenhua won't tell me about the army."

"From the sound, it's a large-caliber one. It's the one that the factory improved in the first half of the year." Wang Shuhua pricked up her ears and listened carefully.

As he was speaking, a buzzing sound came from above his head. Lin Xiangnan looked up and said, "Oh, there's a helicopter to help."

"The helicopter I helped design!" Wang Shuhua pointed to the sky and said excitedly, "It's coming towards us."

The helicopter circled over Lin Xiangnan and the others' heads and then left.

Lin Xiangnan complained, "This helicopter is also here to see us. If they want to investigate, they can go to the hillside on the right. That's a good location. If there's an ambush, it'll be there."

Dabao looked curiously in the direction Lin Xiangnan pointed, then dragged the two pieces of firewood he had picked up and ran over there.

When Dabao came face to face with the little soldier hiding in the haystack, he was so scared that he sat down on the ground.

When Dabao saw the familiar military uniform on the little soldier, he didn't cry or make a fuss. He just squatted beside him and watched curiously.

Lin Xiangnan saw him from a distance and shouted, "Gu Dabao, are you here to poop? Why are you squatting there?"
