Chapter 066 Chapter 66 Neighbors and Nursery Rhymes

As soon as Zhang Shouhong finished speaking, he picked up his son and jumped down. Several children also hurried down the wall, leaving only the youngest, San Ya, who was too short and stood too high to get down by herself, so she stood there crying.

Lin Yue really couldn't bear to watch this family being so shameless. They wouldn't listen to her advice, so she simply ignored it.

At this time they also heard the sound of the motorcycle. Little Wanli and Lingling shouted excitedly, "Dad is back!" and rushed to the door.

Lin Yue laughed, and simply took one in each hand and led them out to meet them.

Zhang Yuandong's image was really not good. There were faint dark circles under his eyes, he hadn't shaved for several days, and his clothes were wrinkled. He thought about taking care of himself before returning, but there were no clean clothes to change in the staff dormitory. He didn't want to waste time, so he thought about it and returned.

He has been very busy recently. The case at the seaside is closely related to what he is investigating. They have found two more bodies in that sea area.

The place where the murderer dumped the body was very remote. Because it was easy to get into an accident, most people would not go there to catch fish. If the body had not been swept to the reef beach by the waves, it might not have been found for a long time.

It is not a few years later, and the management is not so strict. As long as you are not going far away and not staying in a hotel, you generally do not need a letter of introduction. The turnover of personnel is also relatively higher than in the following years. But it is precisely because of this that in this era of underdeveloped communications, if a few people occasionally go missing, no one may find them for a long time.

Zhang Yuandong had no intention of hiding it. He told Lin Yue and Liu Fang about the incident in general, hoping that they would be on guard.

Lin Yue was frightened when he heard this, and when he saw the soaked clam meat, he felt nauseous and took it out and threw it away.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuandong brought back two pounds of corn bones, and Lin Yue used them to make a winter melon and pork ribs soup. Unfortunately, the corn bones were really dry, and there was a total of two pounds of ribs, and the meat on them was not enough for the children to eat a bite.

After Lin Yue put the food on the table, Zhang Yuandong also washed up and changed into new clothes and came out.

This suit was made by Lin Yue. It was made of old coarse cloth. The upper body was a beige long-sleeved shirt, and the lower body was indigo pants. The legs of the pants were slightly tapered. When Lin Yue made the clothes, he was thinking that he would look good in them since his legs were so long. Now he saw that the man in front of him had broad shoulders, narrow waist and long legs. Although the clothes on his body did not show his figure as well as the uniform he usually wore, it made him look more youthful.

Lin Yue then remembered that this man was only 24 years old this year and not as mature as he appeared.

Zhang Yuandong didn't expect Lin Yue to make clothes for him. He felt a little shy and stood there awkwardly, not daring to look her in the eye.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yue couldn't stop praising him: "Why didn't I realize your legs were so long before? They look even longer and straighter in these pants. They're really enviable! Look, whose young man is this? He looks so energetic! Look at his height and figure! Wow!"

The aunties in the village often make comments about the young men like this, and Zhang Yuandong has heard it many times before. But when these words came out of Lin Yue's mouth today, he felt particularly embarrassed for some reason and wanted to cover her mouth.

Liu Fang followed the two little ones to Aunt Wang San's house to deliver some mixed grains and pancakes, and he just came back.

The three of them walked in. The two children were attracted by the food on the table, but Liu Fang saw Zhang Yuandong, who was dressed neatly and had a red face.

He walked over with a grin and said jokingly, "Hey, Brother Zhang, why is your face so red? What did you two do while we were not home?"

Zhang Yuandong's face turned even redder, and Lin Yue also felt a little embarrassed. They clearly didn't do anything, so why did they act like they had done something bad and were caught?

She pushed the chopsticks into Liu Fang's hand and said, "Eat your meal quickly. You are not thinking about a wife, are you? There are many girls of the right age in our village. I will introduce them to you this afternoon!"

Liu Fang immediately begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, please forgive me. Look at me now. If you introduce a girl to me, I will be scared to death! I was wrong. I will never bully your man again!"

Lin Yue raised his leg and tried to kick him. Liu Fang tried to dodge but was held down by Zhang Yuandong. Liu Fang was so angry that he screamed, "You two, you two are bullying me, right?"

Zhang Yuandong said calmly, "Keep your voice down. The bungalows are not soundproof. If you speak any louder, the neighbors will hear you."

After saying this, Liu Fang didn't dare to say another word and sat down obediently to eat.

Lin Yue had seen how much these two grown men ate. Zhang Yuandong was already a big eater, but Liu Fang was no slouch either. Such a thick stack of mixed-grain pancakes was not enough for them to finish. In the end, they each drank a large bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup to feel full.

Seeing the adults eating happily, the two kids also ate a lot. They ate too much for lunch, so they didn’t go to sleep right after finishing their meal. Instead, they moved a few stools to sit in the yard and watch the two kids chasing chickens.

There was a noise coming from next door to the east. Lin Yue listened carefully and found out that it was his second son's wife scolding the third son Zhang Shouhong.

The reason was that they were leaning on the wall to watch the excitement just now, and when they went down, they left the youngest San Ya there.

San Ya's mother is Liu Suhong, and her voice is particularly loud: "You still know that you are an uncle, you can leave your child there, how can you have the nerve to let people call you uncle! You said you forgot? Then why didn't you forget your own son there too! San Ya is only five years old, look at how her arm has been rubbed! She is not your niece, right? How can you be so cruel! "

Lin Yue pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on. Liu Suhong was very eloquent and stopped Zhang Shouhong from saying anything. When he heard the exciting part, Lin Yue wanted to climb up the wall to watch the excitement.

She finally understood why this family liked to join in the fun. She liked it, too! She used to live in a remote area, so there wasn't so much fun to see!

It turned out that Zhang Shouhong had specially found some broken wood to make a simple rack in order to watch the excitement. However, the rack seemed not very sturdy. Lin Yue heard a series of crackling sounds, and the rack fell to the ground with a bang.

Lin Yue turned around and saw Liu Fang also listening with great interest. Even Xiao Wanli and Ling Ling looked towards the east in confusion. Only Zhang Yuandong looked absent-minded.

Lin Yue was curious and was about to ask when he heard a female voice from next door: "You son-giving-up-too-good-for-nothing, stop talking so nicely here! Don't you know how you treat your two daughters? You are just infertile and can't give birth to a son, so you get jealous when you see other people's sons and deliberately find fault! Why don't you take a piss and look at your own behavior? Who are you pretending to be a sister-in-law to? Are those eyes on your face blind, huh? Look carefully, this is my man, not your man, and your man is lying in the room pretending to be the boss. You don't let your own man take care of your child, so why are you making a fuss here!"

Then there was another round of crackling sounds.

Lin Yue was stunned. The voice belonged to Zhou Aixiang, the third daughter-in-law next door. Their family always smiled and never caused trouble outside. Even when they were having fun, they were quiet and didn't make any noise. Lin Yue really didn't expect their family's fighting ability to be so high.

These words were not suitable for children to hear, so she quickly called the two children into the house.

The two little ones haven't played enough, so they are reluctant to go into the house and always want to run outside.

Zhang Yuandong also followed him into the house, and the two of them finally managed to coax the two naughty children into submission.

When Liu Fang came in with a sly look on his face after listening to the excitement, Lin Yue was teaching the children to sing nursery rhymes.

Liu Fang was a little surprised: "Sister-in-law, you have also heard this song. My nephew sang it every day when I was at home."

This song was played during the Helping Others for Fun event earlier this year. Lin Yue didn’t have a radio at home, but he was able to sing it. He was a little surprised.

Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat when she heard him ask this. She remembered this song because Zhang Yuandong was now a police officer. She thought it was a nursery rhyme that everyone was familiar with, but she didn't expect it to attract Liu Fang's attention.

She smiled and evaded the question: "I also heard someone singing it when I went to the county. What? Is it wrong to sing it?"

Liu Fang laughed and said, "This song was only broadcast on TV in the first half of the year. I don't know if it's correct or not. I've only heard my nephew sing it, and his hoarse voice is not as good as yours."

Lin Yue heaved a sigh of relief and joked a few more times, thus putting the matter behind him.

Zhang Yuandong could only sing a few songs from the military, and he really didn't realize the problem. But he knew Lin Yue better, and saw that she was wrong. With Liu beside him, he didn't say much.

After being interrupted like this, Lin Yue was no longer interested in hearing the gossip from next door. Although Liu Fang liked to listen to the excitement, he was not the kind of person who liked to gossip everywhere. The farce next door was thus revealed.

"By the way, I just met a strange man outside the door. He is not from this village and looks a little suspicious. Sister-in-law, please be careful when you go out recently and try not to talk to strangers." Liu Fang was still very serious when talking about business.

Zhang Yuandong frowned when he heard this: "Tell me in detail."

Liu Fang had been running around the village with the two young men these days, and had a general understanding of the situation in the village. He had seen most of the people in the village. However, the man he met outside the door just now was an exception: "He said he was here to visit relatives, got lost, and asked me to show him the way. But the man's eyesight was so good that he seemed to be able to see through my disguise, so I paid more attention to him. Sure enough, when I asked, he couldn't even tell me who was in his relative's family."

He hesitated for a moment, then said carefully, "Besides, I feel like he came here for you, sister-in-law. I saw him wandering around the door for a long time. And when he saw me leading the two children here, he came straight towards me. After seeing my appearance clearly, he was stunned for a moment."

Zhang Yuandong looked at Lin Yue with some worry. This person might really come for her. Lin Yue understood his look and patted his hands with a smile: "It's okay. Even if that person came for me, he is a fool. He can see through Liu Fang's disguise. He didn't know how to do a good job before coming. He didn't even investigate the situation of his relatives' family. He is either a fool or a fool!"

When they heard her, they were both amused and their tense hearts suddenly relaxed.
