Chapter 502: Can’t Enter the Yard
502
When Lin Cuicui opened the gate, she caught a glimpse of a piece of clothing flashing by the corner of the neighbor's house on the right. The familiar indigo blue fine cotton floral dress was exactly the one that Yang Shengjun's wife Wei Xin often wore.
There are not many people in the entire family compound wearing clothes with flowers, and Wei Xin's clothes are also famous in the family compound.
She was startled, but on the surface she still smiled as she sent Qian Xing out the door, muttering about buying things for his parents. When Qian Xing walked away, her smile disappeared instantly, and her eyes became sharp.
Her daughter had repeatedly warned her that Wei Xin was suspicious, but Lin Cuicui hadn't paid much attention to it. Now, it seemed that Wei Xin had been keeping an eye on their family for a long time, and it wasn't impossible that she was monitoring them every day.
Lin Cuicui let out a sarcastic smile as she pondered inwardly. She'd originally planned to find some time to visit Commander Kang at the army base today, but now that she was being watched, it wasn't easy for her to go out.
After all, she hadn't been out all along, and now she suddenly went out twice today. It was obvious that something was wrong with her. Also, since the spies' tickets didn't even include a date, and they weren't in a hurry, why should she be in a hurry?
The next morning, Lin Cuicui held Xixi in her arms as she basked in the sun in the courtyard, her peripheral vision constantly alert to the sounds outside. She hadn't paid much attention before, but now that she thought about it, Wei Xin was always strolling around their doorstep. Perhaps she didn't know as much about their family affairs as Wei Xin herself.
So is Wei Xin a Japanese spy? If so, would she be so blatant in her actions?
Before Lin Cuicui could figure it out, Wei Xin, as usual, carried a wooden basin and passed by her house, pretending to go to the river to wash clothes.
"Aunt Wei, why are you washing clothes so early?" Lin Cuicui greeted her warmly with a smile on her face.
Wei Xin didn't stop and responded with a smile: "Yes, let's finish washing as soon as possible while the sun is not too strong. Sister-in-law, do you have clothes to wash? Do you want to join us?"
Lin Cuicui quickly shook her head, "I won't go for now. It's not convenient to bring a child with me. Come and stay when you have time, sister-in-law."
Wei Xin nodded with a smile, "Okay, I'll come to your house when I'm free."
"Okay, okay. Take care, sister-in-law."
Wei Xin paused as she was about to leave. She asked casually, "Sister-in-law, I see you don't go out very often. Did a fellow villager come to visit you yesterday?"
Lin Cuicui took two steps towards the courtyard gate while holding Xixi, looking as if she hadn't noticed Wei Xin was trying to trick her: "Oh, you mean yesterday?
Qian Xing came to see me yesterday and said he'd received his allowance, but couldn't go home. He wanted me to go to the border town to buy some things for his parents. He's had it tough, having only been in the army a short time and training so hard every day, he really doesn't have any time to spare.
I also happened to have nothing to do, and since he came to me, I thought I'd help if I could." Lin Cuicui said this while observing Wei Xin's expression subtly.
Wei Xin's eyes flickered slightly, then quickly returned to normal. "Oh, that's a really good young man. Sister-in-law, you have to be more careful and help him choose well.
After all, the things here are definitely different from those at home, so I sent them back for a fresh look."
Lin Cuicui's eyes seemed to be reminiscing. "Yes, our area isn't as rich in species as here. Forget about anything else, just take seafood. We really don't have that much over there."
Yes, I'll try to send them some more seafood. Hey, sister-in-law, are you free? Let's go together then."
Wei Xin's eyes rolled slightly, so slightly that it was invisible unless you looked closely. It was unclear what Wei Xin was thinking. She hesitated for a moment, "Sister-in-law, you're going to help a fellow villager. It's not a good idea for me to go with you."
Lin Cuicui rolled her eyes. "What's the big deal? That city over there isn't my home. It's boring to stay on the island every day. It's nice to go out for a walk. I've been staying at home watching Xixi all year and haven't really been out."
I don't know what Wei Xin is thinking. "Okay, sister-in-law, let me take a look. If the time is convenient, we can go together."
Lin Cuicui immediately became happy. "Oh, that's great. Sister-in-law, let's make it a deal. I was just worried about not having a companion."
Wei Xin also smiled. She moved the basin in her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to go wash clothes first."
After Wei Xin left, Lin Cuicui's face immediately turned cold. This meant she was trying to follow her closely. Since she wanted to know so much, she would let her see enough.
They say a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against them for a thousand days. It was really uncomfortable to be passively watched all the time. Xixi had been held by her mother the entire time. After Wei Xin left, Xixi twisted and turned in Lin Cuicui's arms, trying to get out.
Lin Cuicui pinched Xixi's little face and said, "What's wrong, Xixi? Don't you like your mother hugging you the most?"
"Play..."
Xixi pointed outside with her little hand. Lin Cuicui was a little worried, but she also knew it was wrong to keep the child in the yard every day. Now that she had the ability to protect Xixi, she simply opened the gate.
Xixi was very well behaved, never crying or making a fuss since he was little. Now he was even more obedient. Without Lin Cuicui's warning, he didn't run away, but started fiddling with the stones that Lin Cuicui had used yesterday at the gate of the yard.
Lin Cuicui thought it was just a playful child, enjoying playing with pebbles. She sat on a stone pier outside the courtyard, thinking. She had to find time to go to the army today. Qian Xing hadn't had the chance to meet Commander Kang, and he couldn't trust anyone else.
Lin Cuicui felt that he was right to do so. After all, being able to openly pass a note within the army meant that this person must be in the army. They didn't know who it was.
Qian Xing might have been under surveillance. He couldn't move around freely. But it wasn't easy for her to get out. How could she get out?
Before Lin Cuicui could figure out what was going on, she heard her son giggling on the side of the courtyard wall. Lin Cuicui stood up suddenly and realized that Xixi had disappeared.
She quickly looked in the direction of the sound and saw Xixi looking at a little gecko on the wall and laughing. Lin Cuicui didn't know what was so funny. "Xixi, why are you here? Why didn't you tell your mother?"
When Xixi saw Lin Cuicui, she immediately stretched out her little hand and said, "Mommy, hold me!"
Lin Cuicui quickly came over and picked him up, and pointed at the gecko with her little hand, "Go in, don't go in."
Lin Cuicui didn't understand what Xixi meant at first, but since she had nothing to do, she just stood there holding Xixi and watching the gecko for a while. As a result, she saw the little gecko crawling back and forth along the wall of her house. It seemed that it wanted to climb into the yard, but every time it climbed to the highest point of the wall, something seemed to block its way.
It had to move to another place, but as long as it was on top of the courtyard wall, there was no place it could enter.
Lin Cuicui thought this guy was quite stupid. If he walked a little further, he would be able to go in. The family compound was close to the mountain, so these little creatures were common. It wasn't like there hadn't been little guys in there before. But this one seemed particularly stupid.
"Xixi, are you hungry? It's time to go back and eat."
After saying that, Lin Cuicui carried Xixi back. Xixi lay on Lin Cuicui's shoulders, the interest in her eyes still there.
Lin Cuicui was dumbfounded when she arrived at the door.
It was strange. The door was clearly right here, but Lin Cuicui felt that she couldn't touch it. She thought that if she couldn't touch it, she would just walk forward, but as soon as she walked forward a little, she was pushed back by an invisible wall.
Lin Cuicui's mind was full of thoughts at this moment, and she stared blankly at her little son in her arms. She had encountered this situation before, and yesterday she had wanted to learn how to set up a formation like her daughter.
But she struggled for a long time and still couldn't figure it out. Could it be that her son had learned it? The key point was, how on earth did her youngest son learn it without anyone teaching him?
"Xixi, Mom, we can't get into the house."
Xixi blinked his big eyes, and seeing Lin Cuicui looking at him seriously, he lifted his little butt, meaning to get out of his mother's arms.
Lin Cuicui put her son on the ground and looked around cautiously. Seeing that there was no one on the road, she let go of Xixi's little arm.
Xixi staggered towards the big rock where Lin Cuicui had just been sitting.
