However, Zhou Xiaoyin didn't seem to notice these details, and her attitude towards Li Qingyan was lukewarm. It seemed that they were just treating each other as friends.
Coincidentally, Zhou Xiaoyin accidentally dropped the chopsticks.
Before she could speak, Li Qingyan stood up first: "I'll go get a new pair, don't use that one."
Lin Jiaojiao watched the departing figure, supporting her chin with both hands, and looked at Zhou Xiaoyin with a smile: "Are you two really just friends? I think this guy is not only handsome, but also treats you well! Would you like to consider it?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? We are just friends!"
Zhou Xiaoyin quickly denied it, but seeing that Lin Jiaojiao still had the same expression, she smiled helplessly and said, "What I said just now was not false. My childhood sweetheart is a really good person. I'll introduce you to each other when there's a chance."
Seeing her firm attitude, Lin Jiaojiao didn't say anything more. However, it was impossible for her to watch her friend fall into such a trap and be betrayed and bullied by a scumbag.
This matter needs to be considered carefully and handled step by step.
Fortunately, his family is going to Beijing soon, we’ll talk about it then!
After Zhou Xiaoyin finished speaking and saw that Lin Jiaojiao was a little dazed, she immediately changed the subject: "By the way, are you guys coming back just to visit relatives this time?"
"Not really. Huai'an is getting transferred, and since I finally have a vacation, I decided to come back."
"Where are you being transferred to?"
"Kyoto."
"That's great! My home is right over there. I've been preparing for the college entrance exam lately. I'm planning to apply to Kyoto University. As long as I pass, I can go back home and we can see each other more often!"
"That's really good. I'm also going to take the college entrance exam and have been preparing for it for a while."
Zhou Xiaoyin became even more excited when she heard this: "Which school are you planning to apply to?"
"I'm also considering Kyoto University."
"Have you decided on a major?"
"Not yet, what about you?"
"Me too. Right now, I'd better prepare for the exam. By the way, after dinner, come back with me to the Youth Institution. I have some information that my family asked someone to send over there. It's very useful. I've already read it and can give it to you."
"this……"
"Don't worry, it's just information. This is the first year of opening up. The country needs more talented people right now. We should work together!"
"Well, it just so happens that we are planning to go back to the village."
After dinner, they prepared to go to the guesthouse to pick up the three children and return to the village together.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I paid the money and came out, I saw a large group of people gathered at the door.
The man in the middle was in a hurry and panic.
"Who is it? Who stole mine?"
"I beg you, please return the money to me quickly. That money is for my son's wedding!"
"Hey bro, we really didn't take your money. What happened? How could we lose your money? You didn't even see what the person looked like. How can we help you?"
"That's right, think carefully about where you lost it."
When Ji Huaian heard that someone had lost money, he immediately squeezed through the crowd to check.
Seeing this, Lin Jiaojiao and others followed.
The man looked to be in his fifties, wearing a gray cloth jacket and black pants with patches on them.
At this moment, his eyes were red and he felt very helpless.
"Comrade, everyone is right. You need to calm down and think carefully. When did the money disappear? When did you find it? Did you see any suspicious people around?"
The man looked at Ji Huaian in his military uniform and excitedly grabbed his arm. "Comrade soldier, please help me, please help me. That's the money for my son's wedding. It's the money I've saved for half my life. If it's gone, how can I live?"
"So you should calm down and tell me what's going on."
Seeing that the man couldn't get to the point for a long time, Lin Jiaojiao scolded him coldly.
The man calmed down a bit and explained, "I live in Xinhe Village. I came out this time to withdraw money. My son will explain in a couple of days that he needs the money. After withdrawing the money, I bought some vegetable seeds and was about to go home. Oh, that's where I bought them."
There is indeed a supply and marketing cooperative next to the state-owned restaurant.
"When I paid just now, the money was still there. I just came out and the moment I turned around, the money was gone."
"Turning around? Can you give a little more detail? Did you run into anyone along the way?"
Ji Huaian quickly grasped the key point.
"No, I... Oh, I did meet someone, but he was just asking for directions. We were so far away, there was no way he could have taken my money!"
Ji Huaian's eyes changed slightly: "So besides you two, there were no other pedestrians on the road at that time?"
"Yes, of course not. This is a state-owned restaurant, and it's part of a supply and marketing cooperative. There are people coming and going everywhere, but I don't remember anyone touching my animals."
"So what did the person asking for directions ask?"
"He asked how to get to the cinema, and I told him it was just around the corner and then go straight ahead, so he left in a hurry!"
The person next to him analyzed: "So, it shouldn't have anything to do with the person asking for directions?"
"Exactly! Where do you keep your money?"
"It's in the left inside pocket of my clothes. My wife sewed it for me before I left the house. It's just a small tear. Who knew... Look, that bastard! He tore my clothes to pieces. It's all gone! Comrade soldier, what should I do? Please help me, you must help me get the money back!"
"Comrade, don't worry. Chasing thieves is not my specialty. Besides, you didn't see what the person who stole your things looked like. This matter needs to be handled by professionals."
"Professional people?"
"The Public Security Bureau isn't far from here. Go there and report the crime. Remember, you must repeat everything you just said, especially the person who asked for directions. You should remember what he looked like, right?"
"I remember remembering it at the time, but as I just said, we didn't even know each other..."
"Just tell me what you're told. Don't you want to find the thief and get your money back quickly?"
When the man heard Lin Jiaojiao say this, he looked at Ji Huaian's military uniform and then hurried to the Public Security Bureau.
"Do you know something?"
Ji Huaian turned around and glanced at Lin Jiaojiao who was staring at him, and shook his head: "I just have some doubts, I can't be sure, maybe this is not a crime committed by one person."
"You mean, the person asking for directions was actually deliberately diverting attention? These two people are working together to commit the crime? Oh my god, this is a gang crime! If that's the case, we really can't overlook any details."
Just as Lin Jiaojiao reacted, Li Qingyan took the lead and said what she wanted to say.
This guy looks depressed, but he actually has a very smart mind!
From this perspective, he is even more compatible with Zhou Xiaoyin.
No, she has to be the matchmaker between these two people!
"Let's go, it's getting late."
Who knew that as soon as I entered the village, I saw a large group of villagers gathered together in a mess, and I didn’t know what they were doing!
