Chapter 98
In view of the rampant enemy spies in the provincial capital, Lin Yao would put a pomegranate leaf in the crack of his door every time he went out for safety reasons.
In the past, when he came back from going out, the pomegranate leaf would be quietly placed in the crack of the door, and even if it was windy or rainy, it would only blow into the house or onto the corridor.
But today, when she came back, not only did the pomegranate leaf stuck in the door gap disappear, but also Lin Yao, who was used to keeping the house clean, had a few dirty footprints on the brick floor, the enamel pots that were often used in the house were placed in the wrong position, two pieces of fried sugar cakes were missing from the plate on the table, and the bamboo thermos was also moved.
Lin Yao made the fried sugar cakes herself, with brown sugar and sesame in the filling, but brown sugar was expensive, so she replaced it with white sugar. It was yellow and soft, with a crispy skin and a hollow core. It was warm and sweet, and Dongzi and Doudou both loved it.
Dongzi likes sweets. When the fried cakes were placed in the house, the naughty boy reached out his paw to touch them and tried to eat them secretly. Zhang Cuilan saw him and slapped his paw, causing his mouth to swell with pain. For this matter of stealing sweets, Gu Shidong was often chased and beaten by his mother since he was a child.
At first, Lin Yao suspected that there was a thief in the house, but she couldn't say for sure. She looked through the house carefully, and found that there was no money or bills missing, and no one took the rice, flour or meat in the kitchen.
Which thief would leave good things untouched, come over and touch the thermos, eat two pieces of fried sugar cakes and leave?
Lin Yao was shocked, maybe someone wanted to put his hands on the tea they were drinking?
In order to make it easier to attack, the enemy agents in the provincial capital had drugged the families of the provincial capital cadres.
Lin Yao estimated the footprints left in the house. The owner of these footprints had a pair of big feet, which was definitely not left by a petite girl. It seemed that the person who sneaked into his house this time was a burly man.
The wall of the big compound was built with bluestone and was more than three meters high. The Gu family was in the backyard of the big compound, and the alley was deep. If outsiders wanted to come in, they had to either enter from the front gate of the big compound or climb over the wall of the backyard.
The family was busy cooking, and Dongzi took Doudou to play in the water in the yard.
Lin Yao didn't have time to deal with the two little guys. She told them to "be careful" and took a walk around the courtyard wall when no one was around. The courtyard wall had been through wind and rain and had fallen into disrepair for many years. The wall was rusty and weeds grew in the gaps between the stones of the courtyard wall. It looked very desolate. It had rained some time ago and the ground was full of potholes. Walking on it was muddy.
Lin Yao also found a circle of large footprints at the corner of the wall.
The man had indeed climbed over the wall to get in.
Lin Yao cursed him in anger in her heart. What a bastard, he drugged her and stole her white sugar cake. He was so stupid and wanted to be an enemy spy? !
Next time, I'll add croton powder to the sugar cake, it'll kill you!
Lin Yao went back and changed the water in the water tank at home under the pretext of washing diapers for Gu Doudou. Gu Mancang happily carried a load to fetch water and
brought back new well water. Lin Yao rolled up her sleeves and washed all the pots, bowls, small plates and small clay pots at home. The enamel pots and bamboo thermoses at home were no longer usable, so she threw them all into the space and took out the same ones to put out. After she finished all this, she was relieved.
Since the enemy has shown its claws, Lin Yao has to find a way to deal with it. Even if she doesn't catch them by the tail, she has to remind Chunmei and the others.
Zhang Cuilan stewed eggplant with minced meat in the kitchen. The main dish was steamed mixed noodle steamed buns made at home. She cooked a pot of sweet potato mixed grain porridge and called Lin Yao to come over for dinner.
"Yaoyao, let's eat."
"Hey, I'm coming."
Lin Yao tried the anti-wolf baton and sprayer that he got from the space, and walked out of the house while answering.
As soon as the mother went out, Gu Doudou ran over with his short legs, pulling her trouser legs to urge her.
"Mom, let's go, eat, eat!"
The little guy was very impatient when it came to eating, and he was a real foodie at first glance.
"Okay, let's eat."
Lin Yao took the little fat boy to wash his hands first, tied a bib on him, scooped a bowl of sweet potato and mixed grain porridge with a small bowl specially used by little guys, and placed it in front of Gu Doudou.
The little fat boy can eat by himself now. He clumsily grasped the small spoon and dropped half of the mouthful. Lin Yao didn't care about him, only occasionally wiping his mouth with a handkerchief.
After the family had dinner, Zhang Cuilan and her husband went to the entrance of the alley to cool off with a palm-leaf fan. Dongzi, a naughty boy, ran away without a trace if he was not watched.
Gu Doudou ate slowly and was still struggling with the bowl of sweet potato and mixed grain porridge.
Lin Yao touched the little fat boy's head.
"Can I cook meat porridge for the baby tomorrow?"
"Okay!"
When Gu Doudou heard that there was meat to eat, he immediately smiled with his white teeth, his big eyes curved like bright crescents, and nodded immediately.
"Doudou is so happy."
"Meat is delicious!"
Lin Yao couldn't help laughing when he heard it. It's true that like father, like son. In the past, when I asked Deputy Director Gu what he wanted to eat, he would just think for a moment and say, "Meat is fine."
Alas, I don't know how someone is doing in the countryside now.

As night fell, a few hundred miles away in the deep mountains and old forests, gunshots rang out, startling a flock of birds.
Just now, the drug-hunting team led by Gu Shian had a firefight with a group of armed drug dealers. Gunshots rang out one after another. Several drug dealers ran out of ammunition and rushed forward with grenades in their blood, wanting to die with the drug-hunting team. They were shot down by Gu Shian and Xu Xiangqian.
"Old Gu, I'll leave this to you. As for the bastards in front, I'll take my brothers to the back to encircle them and catch them off guard!"
Xu Xiangqian carried the gun, wiped the blood off his hand, and came to discuss with him.
Gu Shian glanced at him, "Are you injured?"
"Hey, I just hit a little bastard, and his blood splashed on my hands. I forgot to wipe it."
Gu Shian threw him a handkerchief and asked him to wipe it.
Big Head Brother was surprised.
"Old Gu, you are so generous to let me use the handkerchief your wife gave you."
Deputy Director Gu's voice was very indifferent.
"This is what Yaoyao used to wipe Doudou's feet. I took the wrong one."
"It hasn't been used yet. It's new."
Big Head Brother: "..."
Big Head Brother wiped his hands, led a few brothers to take a small path to the back of the hill, and fired several shots at the ambushed enemy group, killing them all in one fell swoop.
The sneak attack from the back was smooth, and the attack from the front was also smooth. After a few "bangs", several enemies fell in a pool of blood, lying on the ground motionless, and the remaining remnants fled.
A young man couldn't contain his excitement and was about to chase them with a gun. It was dark, and they didn't notice that among the fallen enemies, some pretended to die and wanted to drag them to hell together. Just when one of them jumped up and stabbed at him with a dagger, Xu Xiangqian shouted loudly.
"Old Gu, be careful of an ambush!"
In a flash, the remaining two trapped bandits rushed out of the bushes with guns. Gu Shian was quick to move and pressed down a team member beside him. The two rolled on the spot. Several gunshots rubbed over their heads. The young team member had a close call and was immediately scared out of his wits.
Gu Shian was agile and picked up the fallen gun on the ground and shot the bandits in the head one by one. Xu Xiangqian led the team members to come over to help, and all the criminals were wiped out in one fell swoop.

Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. Since the weather warmed up, the snow in the fields of Dongfanghong Production Team has begun to melt. The team leader organized the team members to plow the fields for spring ploughing and sow wheat seeds. Now the wheat seedlings are growing vigorously in the fields, and the greenness makes people feel happy.
The old people in the village said that this year's harvest will not be bad.
It rained before, and many weeds appeared in the fields. The rural people rely on this season's food for the second half of the year. There is generally no time to rest during this season. The members of the Dongfanghong Production Team are fertilizing and weeding. They are busy.
Lin Daguo's family of three are used to being lazy in previous years. They go to the fields when they want to. If they don't go to the fields, the village will not give them work points.
When the family ran out of money, they went to the town to ask Lin Hongna for money. Lin Hongna refused to give it to them, so Li Aifeng took it all away. The Sun family was a family that valued their reputation, and Lin Hongna couldn't afford to lose face. She left them five or eight yuan, and the three members of Lin Daguo's family could live a carefree life for a while.
The villagers used this to mock the old Lin family. The three members of Lin Daguo's family were thicker than the city wall, but Li Aifeng didn't feel ashamed, but proud, staring at them with her hands on her hips and cursing.
"What's the matter? Our daughter is capable and can marry into a good family. We don't eat or drink your food. Your envy is useless! Why do you mind your own business? If you don't wipe your butt after you poop, go home and wipe your mouth first!"
Several gossiping women in the village were so angry that if someone hadn't stopped them, they would have gone up to give Li Aifeng a beating.
As the old saying goes, evil people will be punished by evil people.
Li Aifeng has been arrogant in the village for half her life, but she didn't expect to marry a crazy woman as her daughter-in-law.
Since Wang Honghua fell ill, Lin Daguo's family has been worried every day and has never slept well.
Last night, Wang Honghua was acting strangely. She was wearing a white dress and crying in the yard, burning some white paper. In the old Lin family's nice yard, there were piles of ashes left by burning paper money under the fence. Wang Honghua also posted black-lettered mourning couplets on white paper on the doors and windows. The night wind was blowing, and Wang Honghua's high and low crying was like a ghost howling in the night.
The neighbors next door to the old Lin family were woken up by the noise and came to watch the fun in their clothes.
Old Mrs. Qi looked around and saw that Wang Honghua's eyes were swollen and her voice was hoarse from crying. She asked about it as if she was watching a big show.
"Hey, Hongwu's daughter-in-law, why are you crying in the middle of the night?"
Wang Honghua cried as if her mother had died, jumping and jumping in the yard.
"My grandma is dead. She has done too many bad things in her life. She can't be a human being in her next life. She will be a dog! I will burn more paper money for her so that my grandma won't be reincarnated as a bitch in her next life!"
Li Aifeng, who is still alive: "...
