Chapter 106: Things Inside the Huo Family

Huo Lanci smiled and said, "I will still suggest getting married next time."

"I proposed it. It's up to you whether you agree or not."

Yu Wanqing looked at Huo Lanci and said, "Rogue."

"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of the people behind me." She knew that Huo Lanci suggested marriage to protect herself. Although she knew that this man was a bit of a scoundrel, his real intention was still worth keeping in mind.

"I want to go to the Kapok Brigade, but I'm worried that if I go alone, it will arouse suspicion, so I want to invite Comrade Ye Shulan and all the female educated youth to go see the century-old Kapok tree together."

"Ye Shulan's maternal grandparents lived in the neighboring Muqian Brigade. When the brigade was resting, she would take the educated youths she got along well with back to visit her maternal grandparents. This was a very normal thing."

Huo Lanci stared at his target: "Xiaowu, did you find something important?"

"We need to keep in touch with each other, otherwise we might miss out on information and get into trouble,"

Yu Wanqing nodded, thinking that what Huo Lanci said made sense. She was silent for a moment and told him what happened last time. After she finished, she glanced at Huo Lanci and said, "That person fell off the cliff while escaping. He is probably dead now."

She certainly couldn't say that she controlled the vines to throw the man off the cliff.

Huo Lanci was silent for a moment before he said, "The person you met should be the one who escaped from my sight that night."

Ever since he saw that man once, Huo Lanci stared at the mountain for several days, waiting for that man to show up.

Unexpectedly, the other party has fallen into Xiaowu's hands and may even be dead.

"So, I stole it from you." Yu Wanqing smiled, "I went into the mountains two days ago and found some clues pointing to the Kapok Brigade, so I wanted to go and see it myself." I had just told him about this.

"I am the one they are targeting. If I suddenly show up, it will definitely shock them. Who knows, someone might reveal their true colors."

Huo Lanci thought about it and felt that if Yu Wanqing went to the Kapok Brigade in person, it would be possible to lure out the people hiding in the dark.

"You go with Comrade Ye and the others, and I will also watch from the dark."

Yu Wanqing asked curiously, "How can you watch from the dark?"

"It's not difficult to disguise yourself and sneak into the Kapok Brigade." Huo Lanci told Yu Wanqing not to worry and to follow her own plan: "Just don't hide it from each other in the future. Tell your partner about your discovery in time, so that we can make the right choice."

Yu Wanqing nodded: "I understand."

"Last time, that person said that it was your grandfather who asked him to come to me and kill me." Yu Wanqing looked at Huo Lanci, who had a serious face, with a smile: "Huo Zhiqing, it's such an obvious frame-up. Do you think the person behind this has a grudge against your Huo family?"

"Or maybe he is really someone from your Huo family."

Huo Lanci raised his eyebrows: "The Huo family currently only has my grandfather, my parents, my eldest brother, his wife, and a niece."

"My parents and grandfather are very satisfied with you, and they can't wait for you to become a member of our Huo family." Huo Lanci felt that he needed to explain, otherwise Wan Qing would really misunderstand her family members, which would be bad.

"Do you remember the last time I told you that a lesbian from my sister-in-law's family wanted to frame me?"

Yu Wanqing nodded: "Remember, that girl liked you and wanted to cause misunderstandings and force you to get married."

Huo Lanci nodded and said, "Since this incident, my sister-in-law discussed it with my brother and finally decided to move out. She would go back to visit her parents and grandfather on weekdays, but her family members are no longer qualified to step into the compound."

"My elder brother and his wife are both nice people. If it really was them, my father and grandfather would definitely find it when they investigate this matter." He didn't mean to explain for his own elder brother.

Instead, he believed in his elder brother, and also in the abilities of his parents and grandfather.

If it was really my eldest brother or sister-in-law who did this, they would definitely not be able to hide it from my parents and grandfather.

Yu Wanqing didn't expect that the Huo family's brother and sister-in-law had already moved out. She nodded: "Since they are not from the Huo family, they must be the Huo family's enemies." She reminded: "This is a direction for verification."

Luo Hui rode his bicycle to the Wuxing Brigade. He first went to find the brigade leader, and then the brigade leader led him to the educated youth site.

Luo Hui arrived at the educated youth site on time. By then everyone had already finished work. Some were carrying water, some were chopping wood, and the rest of the female educated youth were helping to cook in the kitchen.

The captain brought Luo Hui to the educated youth compound. He looked at Ou Jianguo who was chopping wood and said, "Jianguo, this is the new educated youth Luo Hui."

Ou Jianguo was a little surprised to hear this. He had never thought that there would be more educated youth coming. He put down his axe and said quickly, "Captain, just hand over the new comrades to us."

When the rest of the people at the educated youth point heard that new educated youth had arrived, they all walked out of the yard.

The team leader gave them a few instructions before looking at Luo Hui: "The dozen or so educated youth comrades in our Five-Star Team are all very easy to get along with. If you have any questions, you can ask them."

"You can also ask me or Secretary Zhou."

Luo Hui nodded and thanked him with a smile.

He is completely different from the little bully who troubles his parents at home.

After the captain left, Lu Guohua, the big brother, took Luo Hui to the outside of the room and said, "There are beds in these rooms. It depends on where you like to stay."

Luo Hui pointed to the room where Lu Guohua and his friends lived and said, "I'll live in this room."

At noon, the educated youths had stewed potatoes with meat (last time it was braised wild boar), stir-fried vegetables, and pumpkin seedling soup. The staple food was pumpkin rice.

All are large portions.

Luo Hui ate with them at noon. Lu Guohua smiled and said, "Tomorrow is a day off. You female educated youth can go to the next brigade to see the century-old kapok trees. We male educated youth can go into the mountains for a walk, and then go to the commune to buy some flour and meat to make dumplings."

"It can also be considered as a welcome and a refreshment for the new educated youth."

Gao Qingmei nodded and said, "Okay, all the educated youth will get together tomorrow to get to know each other."

Luo Hui was a little surprised when he heard this: "I didn't expect that I could eat dumplings as soon as I arrived. I'm really lucky."

Now that he has joined the Five-Star Team, he must find a way to integrate into their group.

Everyone was talking and laughing, and Luo Hui quickly became one of the group.

When Huo Lanci learned that a new educated youth had arrived at the educated youth point, he realized that it was the person his second brother had talked about.

He talked about this with Yu Xiaowu, and she just smiled and said, "It's okay, just think of it as someone coming to practice."

Huo Lanci thought of her great strength and reminded her, "Take it easy when the time comes. This guy is not like Jianhua."

Jianhua has been training for the past two years, but Luo Hui has no foundation at all.

"Just train this kid the same way my dad trained me."
