"Thank you." She smiled modestly and changed the subject: "So, have you found any clues about what you wanted to investigate?"
Seeing that they were almost at the door of Li's house, Lu Yanchuan did not answer her, but pushed his bicycle into the Li's yard.
This era is not inferior to later generations. There is an old saying that goes, "No one picks up lost items on the road, and no one locks the door at night."
Basically, few people locked their doors. Firstly, they were poor and had no valuables. They could barely afford food, let alone a lock. Secondly, everyone was a neighbor, and anyone who messed up would be spitted to death.
Of course, there are still some shameless repeat offenders who are willing to throw anything away. These people perfectly illustrate what it means to be shameless and invincible.
"Brother Lu! Are you guys coming back together?" Li Wei was hanging clothes and was a little surprised to see the two of them come in.
"Well, Yingying gave me a ride when she went into town."
Lu Yanchuan parked the car under a tree in the yard.
Li Wei seemed to grasp the key point. "Yingying? When did you two become so familiar with each other? Also, are you sure her thin arms and legs can carry you?"
Although she didn't take the initiative to talk to Jiang Wanying, she was always in her peripheral vision.
Jiang Wanying did not explain too much. In a situation like this, it was very likely that the more she explained, the less likely people would believe her.
"Well, the car has been delivered. Thank you, Li Wei. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, she ran away as if escaping.
"Hey——" Li Wei wanted to call her, but Jiang Wanying didn't turn back.
Lu Yanchuan didn't know what was going on between them, but he still reminded her, "The things hanging in the car are the things she bought for you."
After saying that, he left without staying any longer.
Li Wei smacked her lips as she watched the two of them walking so fast, one after the other. She had wanted to gossip a little. Although Jiang Wanying had just broken off her engagement, if she could really be with Brother Lu, wouldn't that be a thousand times better than Fang Jiaxing?
She walked under the tree, took the things from the bicycle, opened the paper package and saw some chocolate with alcohol and big rabbit milk candy inside.
The other paper wrapped a bag of brown sugar, which was a rare commodity in those days. She had her period recently, so drinking some of this could help relieve the pain.
When Li Wei saw these things, her eyes were filled with a layer of mist. Even if she had not reconciled with herself, when she came to find her on her own initiative, she had already forgiven her.

Jiang Wanying ran home without stopping. Although Lu Yanchuan asked someone to send a letter to her uncle and others, she was still afraid that they would worry about her.
Xu Hongping was knitting slippers by the fire when she heard some noise in the yard. She quickly got up and went out to see, "Yingying! Oh, you're finally back! Where were you staying last night?"
Jiang Wanying took out the frostbite cream she had prepared in advance from her bag and handed it to her. "Uncle Lu has a relative in the city. We stayed at his relative's house for one night. He went to get the frostbite cream that my uncle sent me, and he didn't come back until very late."
"Now that we have so many bottles, you can't be stingy with them anymore!"
Xu Hongping looked at her hands filled with frostbite cream, feeling a little uncomfortable. "You kid... if I knew you went to get this specifically, I should have asked your uncle to go to the city to get it. Look at your hands, they're icy. Come inside and warm yourself by the fire."
She took Jiang Wanying's hand and walked into the kitchen. "You've never left me since you were little. This is your first time spending the night outside. Did you get bullied or anything?"
For some reason, the moment she heard the word "bullying," Jiang Wanying started to recall the intense dream she had last night...
Her face couldn't help but turn red, and she coughed dryly, "No! How could anyone bully me! I'm lucky enough that I don't bully others!"
