Lin Yian shook the small cloth bag in his hand. He didn't expect that this man's only arm was so flexible.
Very cute.
"Thank you, Brother Ji. I like this gift very much."
The smile in Ji Zebai's eyes deepened, making him look even more casual.
"Hmm. Don't call me Comrade Ji anymore?"
Lin Yi'an's expression remained unchanged as he nodded calmly, "Yes. It was Brother Ji who gave me the gift, and it was Comrade Ji who said my handwriting was ugly."
Lin Yian walked towards the front yard carrying a small cloth bag in his hand.
Ji Zebai followed Lin Yian and walked forward.
Yes, the little girl is obedient and well-behaved, but when she schemes against others, she turns into a little hedgehog, which will prick your hand if you touch her.
It's just that the means are not cruel enough.
"Can I help you?"
Lin Yian stopped and looked a little confused: "Help? What help?"
Ji Zebai took a few steps forward.
The girl's temperament was quite to his liking, and for Jiancheng's sake, he was willing to help her solve the problem.
"Li Yanzhuo."
Lin Yian frowned, and the relaxed atmosphere between the two of them disappeared.
"Comrade Ji, are you investigating me?"
Ji Zebai's smile did not fade: "I'm sorry. First, your elder brother asked us to find your whereabouts before leaving Kyoto. Second, you met us by chance on the train, and you are Lin Jiancheng's sister. This is too much of a coincidence. Due to your identities, we must investigate."
Ji Zebai did not mention that Lin Jiancheng later asked him to investigate again.
Even without Lin Jiancheng's request, he would have investigated the matter.
Too many coincidences are no longer coincidences.
In the mission that caused Lin Jiancheng to be seriously injured and retired, and many teammates were injured, although they finally wiped out the enemy gang, they were also afraid that there might be some fish that slipped through the net.
So the two of them accompanied Lin Jiancheng back to his hometown not only out of comradeship but also out of protection.
Ji Zebai noticed that after he explained the reason, the little hedgehog in front of him retracted a lot of its thorns.
"Comrade Ji, if I really want you to help me, how can you help me? Although Li Yanzhuo has treated me badly over the past decade, he has fulfilled his legal obligation to support me, and he has not abused or beaten me, so he cannot be sentenced."
Lin Yi'an didn't give Ji Zebai a chance to speak, as if she had never thought that anyone would come to help her avenge herself. "Even if it gets out, it won't necessarily damage his reputation. He's just my stepfather. Even the neighbors across the street can't tell who he is. What's more, my biological mother won't stand on my side."
Look, the thorns on its body haven't fallen off much yet, and they're standing up again.
Ji Zebai took out a piece of candy from his outer pocket and said, "Peel it open and try it."
Lin Yian has never refused sweets.
What's more, she might have been investigated by others, so why should she pretend to be good?
"Thank you, but if you can't help me, I will take revenge on myself. If you really want to help me, please don't tell my family about my past."
Lin Yian was holding a candy that someone had just given him, and his words were a little unclear.
"The candy is very sweet, thank you, Brother Ji."
The little girl left without looking back, so quick and decisive, she is really a good candidate.
But I don’t know…
There were two more low laughs in the backyard.
"I haven't finished my words yet. I didn't say that this was the only crime against Li Yanzhuo."
Fang Chi showed off his unique chestnut peeling skills to the two children, which inexplicably aroused Lin Jianhua and Lin Jianzhen's desire to win.
The three of them were peeling chestnuts as if in a competition. While Lin Yian and Ji Zebai were talking for a few words in the backyard, a whole basket of chestnuts had been peeled.
Fang Chi wiped his hands and saw Ji Zebai walking towards him leisurely.
"Brother Ze."
"Yes. Go to the county seat tomorrow and send a telegram to Zhu San, telling him to check it out carefully."
The corners of Fang Chi's mouth curled up a little more: "I understand."
Zhu Xiaosan owed them a favor this time, so he had to think carefully about how to send the telegram.
The chestnuts had just been peeled when Lin Anguo came back with another basket.
My family members are not very fond of chestnuts, and the ones in the rice cakes are enough for them.
So Lin Dejiang took the lead and directly gave all the chestnuts in the basket to Lin Yian.
Lin Yian smelled the chestnuts and felt a little greedy.
She wanted to drink milk tea, so she made it with chestnut paste as the base and added some pearls.
Go back and cook a pot!
In the evening, Wang Juan beat three eggs and mixed them with cornmeal, added some white flour and cooked a large pot of dumpling soup, which she served with sweet and glutinous rice cake.
Occasionally have a handful of refreshing pickles.
It smells so good.
After the meal, Wang Juan filled another basket and asked Lin Yian to take it over.
"Go back and steam it in a pot. Put a small piece of charcoal in it and don't let the fire go out. You can eat it when you're hungry at night."
After Lin Yian came to the Lin family, he never experienced the feeling of being woken up by hunger at night. There were several times when he even slept while holding himself back.
But Xiaohua should be able to do that, because he gets hungry quickly when he is growing.
What's more, I have been reviewing in the past few days.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Lin Yian happily carried the basket back to the yard and started steaming it.
After returning to Linjia Village, she felt that the best thing was that her father and uncle had not yet separated.
It’s such a blessing to be able to eat aunt’s cooking every day.
When Fan Zhu saw her granddaughter leaving, she said to Lin Anguo, who was helping to clean up the table, "Anguo, don't go out tomorrow. I have something to say."
Lin Anguo didn't ask his mother what she wanted to say. His mother usually wouldn't interfere in their lives. She just nodded and said, "Okay."
After Lin Yian finished steaming the rice cakes, he remembered what he had promised Jiang Xue and the others during the day, and ran back to find his uncle.
"Dad, uncle."
Lin Anmin washed his hands and put a bowl on the stove: "Hey. Why are you here, Ah Ci? Go back inside and talk to your grandma."
Lin Yian picked up the dishcloth on the table and helped Uncle Lin wipe away the remaining water drops on the bowl.
"Well, I'll go later. Uncle, I have something to tell you."
Seeing that his niece was quite serious, Lin Anmin wiped the water off his hands and said, "What does Ah Ci want to tell Uncle?"
Lin Yian's hands never stopped moving, and each bowl was polished until it was shiny.
"Uncle, did the educated youth who came to the village with me have conflicts with the original educated youth in the village?"
When Lin Anmin heard about this, he felt worried, but he didn't show it on his face: "How did Ah Ci know? It's just a small conflict, not a big deal."
Lin Yian wiped the last bowl clean, and Lin Anguo moved the bowl that his daughter had wiped clean and put it in the cupboard.
"The two female educated youth who came to the village with me today came to see me. Axue and Xiaoyu wanted me to help them talk to you."
"Plead for mercy?" Lin Anmin frowned.
What crime has this committed?
"They discussed it with three other male educated youths and all wanted to move out."
Lin Yian specially emphasized the word "all".
