Wu Lili, dragging her tired body, pushed her bicycle and had just reached the entrance of the residential area.
Then they saw Zhang Lin standing there, talking to the security guard.
She was so scared that she immediately woke up and became wide awake.
Wu Lili quickly walked over and interrupted the two, afraid that Zhang Lin would say something he shouldn't.
"Sir, this is my fellow villager. I have to go now!"
After speaking quickly, Wu Lili grabbed Zhang Lin's sleeve and was about to leave, but was stopped by the old man again.
"Don't go, don't go! You're from the same hometown as me, but we still need to register!"
They forcefully dragged Zhang Lin over to register.
Zhang Lin picked up the pen and noticed there was a column for "work unit," so he confidently wrote down Gu Shi's steel factory.
After registration, I can finally go in.
Following behind Wu Lili, Zhang Lin sized up the person in front of him, muttering to himself.
"Such a run-down neighborhood, yet so many rules!"
Wu Lili, who was walking ahead, rolled her eyes when she heard this, thinking to herself, "This is to prevent people like you from coming in."
He replied perfunctorily, "It's better to be stricter; at least the neighborhood won't be too chaotic."
Zhang Lin remained silent, his heart filled with disdain.
The two walked silently to Wu Lili's house.
Pushing open the door, Zhang Lin could see the furnishings of Wu Lili's home even from behind.
There's only a simple sofa, a small coffee table, a dining table, and two chairs.
The living room was very spacious, nothing compared to Lin Qingyu's place next door.
Is your house really that shabby?
The two went inside, and Zhang Lin immediately began to speak sarcastically.
He had seen how full Lin Qingyu's house was with furniture, so he looked down on Wu Lili's house.
Wu Lili gave a silent, cold laugh, then said, "This is an apartment allocated by my work unit, and I bought all the furniture myself, so it's rather shabby!"
Zhang Lin glanced at her, then suddenly squinted and adjusted his glasses.
"I remember when you were in Pear Blossom Village, you were really close to Feng Chao. How come he's gone and doesn't care about you anymore now that he's gone to university?"
When Wu Lili first heard Feng Chao's name, she was still a little taken aback.
How long has it been since she last heard that name?
Since she left Pear Blossom Village, it seems that the two of them have lost contact, and they haven't even exchanged letters.
However, Feng Chao didn't even know his own address, so it's no wonder he didn't receive a single letter.
Wu Lili didn't say anything, but asked him, "Would you like some water? I'll boil a kettle of water."
After saying that, he took the kettle, filled it with water, and was about to go back to the bedroom to boil the water when he realized that he hadn't started the fire yet.
I glanced at the stove and saw that it wasn't completely extinguished, so I added some corncobs in.
It lit quickly, then we put coal in, and waited a while before it warmed up.
Zhang Lin stayed in the living room the whole time, examining even such simple furniture.
He waited until the smell in the house dissipated a bit before going into the bedroom.
I saw Wu Lili had changed her clothes and was sitting by the stove, knitting a sweater in her hand.
"What are you doing in here? The water will be ready soon."
She remained seated, unmoved, her hands moving without pause.
Zhang Lin suddenly smiled, walked over step by step, and sat down on a bench next to Wu Lili.
"It must be a bit lonely for one person to live in such a big house!"
Wu Lili neither dodged nor responded; she just kept knitting.
Zhang Lin wasn't angry and just kept talking to himself.
"To be honest, I was quite reluctant to see you go back to the city back then."
"Actually, I liked you a lot during the two years you were an educated youth in Lihua Village, but you only had eyes for Feng Chao at the time."
Zhang Lin started rambling on and on, but Wu Lili, lost in thought, didn't seem angry at all and just kept knitting.
The atmosphere began to change, and Zhang Lin's hand gradually climbed onto Wu Lili's body.
"Back when you were begging me to give you a few more work points, you were really eager to help!"
Back then, Wu Lili couldn't earn enough work points, so she would eagerly go to Zhang Lin when it was almost time to settle accounts.
Because at that time he was the brigade's accountant and was in charge of these matters, he already had considerable power.
At that time, Wu Lili had no choice. Her family didn't care, and she couldn't go to Lin Qingyu's place for meals anymore.
So I had no choice but to sacrifice myself!
Wu Lili was expressionless, it was unclear whether she didn't care about the past or had been forced into this state by life.
She let Zhang Lin's hands roam over her body, beginning to caress her private parts.
What happened next was, of course, quite logical.
The moment Wu Lili saw Zhang Lin, she knew this was bound to happen, so she simply accepted it.
The water on the stove had been boiling for a long time, but thankfully someone finally took it off.
After drinking a cup of hot tea, Zhang Lin felt warm all over.
The room was quiet; Wu Lili was asleep, so he went downstairs alone.
When we got to the gate, the old man wasn't there; he'd probably gone to the toilet again.
Feeling much better, Zhang Lin whistled as he left the neighborhood.
When he returned to the small hotel, his fellow villagers were there, but the way they looked at him was a little strange.
Zhang Lin felt he was about to start working at a big company, so he didn't care about any of this.
Without even saying goodbye, he wanted to go back to his room.
Finally, Wang Wu called him, "Gu Shi will be here to pick us up to go to the factory later, so you should pack your things first!"
Zhang Lin turned to look at him, frowned, and said, "Are all five of us going?"
Wang Wu scoffed, "Tch, of course! Gu Shi will definitely arrange everything perfectly for us!"
The others were all looking at him like that. Zhang Lin felt that something was wrong, but it had nothing to do with him anymore.
As long as I have a job, I don't care about anything else.
He had just finished packing his things when the people Gu Shi had arranged came to pick him up.
The person who came drove a pickup truck, which could fit everyone's luggage in it, and they could go back in one trip.
The carriage was lively throughout the journey, except for Zhang Lin, whose face remained gloomy.
Upon arriving at the dormitory assigned by the factory, everyone's spirits soared even higher, and they chatted animatedly.
Zhang Lin was still the same as always, acting as if someone owed him money.
When it came time to assign dorm rooms, Zhang Lin finally couldn't hold back his irritability and vented his anger.
"Why do they all have their own rooms, but I don't want to stay in a shared dormitory! Get me a different room!"
Zhang Lin was emotionally unstable, and the others ignored him completely, taking their assigned keys and moving things.
The person who assigned me to the dormitory was an older woman, a very beautiful one.
With a cigarette dangling from her mouth, she simply blew out a smoke ring and said slowly.
"Of course it's because they're married and have families. What are you, a single young man, afraid of?"
Indeed, of the five people traveling together, he was the only one who wasn't married yet.
Because he looked down on the women in the village, his family arranged a marriage for him, but Zhang Lin refused to get married for a long time.
"You won't tell me, huh? I'm going to talk to Gu Shi!"
