As soon as the two arrived at the door of their house, they were seen by several sharp-eyed neighbors.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Fu, are you off work? Xiao Lin, you didn't come home yesterday? I saw there was no smoke coming out of your chimney. Ouch, what's wrong with your neck? Are you injured?"
Aunt Zhang saw the gauze on Lin Siya’s neck at a glance.
But Lin Siya was still shocked by Aunt Zhang's attentiveness. She even knew that there was no smoke coming out of her chimney yesterday. At the same time, she felt a little touched.
"Aunt Zhang, something happened yesterday, so I stayed at a guesthouse in the city."
"Something happened? What happened? Is what they said true? Did they really catch an enemy spy in the city?"
"Is there really a bomb?"
…
When the neighbors around heard Lin Siya say that something happened in the town yesterday, they immediately connected it to the news they heard today.
Lin Siya and Fu Sinian exchanged a glance. Oh my god, didn't they say the news hadn't leaked out? How come these big mothers knew everything?
But both of them had received instructions from their superiors, so they definitely couldn't tell anyone about this matter. So they could only laugh it off.
"Are these things true? I haven't heard of them. I've been working all the time. I just accidentally fell down and hurt my neck a little while working, but I haven't heard of this incident."
Lin Siya could only pretend that she was hearing this for the first time and started acting.
"Hey, Xiaolin, you're so out of touch! I heard from a relative of ours that those bad guys brought in several truckloads of people and are hiding in all corners of the city. I heard they want to blow up everyone in the city!"
"Oh, seriously, this is too scary. Do you think there are any in our town?"
"Who told you this? I also heard there are hundreds of bombs. If one of them explodes, it will be a disaster."
"You've heard about it, too, right? I heard it from my relative; he saw it all with his own eyes."
…
The neighbors' comments were getting more and more outrageous, and Lin Siya was helpless. "Come on, there are only a few bombs, okay? Where did the hundreds come from?"
Don’t you even think about where to hide hundreds of bombs?
Besides, the entire city was checked last night, and all the enemy spies were arrested. It seemed that they only had time to attack the machinery factory. They planned to attack other places during the chaos, and there was no time to plant bombs at all.
But in order to avoid rumors, Lin Siya felt that she still had to say a few words.
"Neighbors, I just got back from the city. Our leaders have explained a few things about this matter. They've apprehended several spies and found several bombs, so it hasn't caused too much harm. A city-wide search was conducted yesterday, and all potential hazards have been eliminated. There's no need to worry."
"Oh, so that's how it is. That's good, that's good."
"There really is a bomb! These bad guys are too rampant."
"That's right, people like this should be shot!"
Everyone is outraged. They all came from that era, so it is understandable that they particularly hate those who undermine the stability and unity of the country.
"Although the matter has been resolved, everyone still needs to be vigilant in their daily lives. After all, there are still many bad elements who are always trying to destroy our beautiful home."
"Xiao Lin is right. We must be vigilant."
“That makes sense!”
Seeing that everyone had listened, Lin Siya took Fu Sinian into the house and breathed a sigh of relief.
It is said that information is blocked in this era. After what happened today, Lin Siya felt that she had really underestimated everyone's gossiping ability.
Seeing his girlfriend looking relieved, Fu Sinian could only touch her head comfortingly.
"You go and rest for a while, I'll make dinner." Fu Sinian rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go to the kitchen.
"Can you cook?"
"I can do some simple things. You go and wait first." Fu Sinian pushed her into the house to rest.
Lin Siya didn't expect that a man who looked like a rich and noble young man could actually cook.
Seeing his little partner's look of disbelief, Fu Sinian could only explain.
"When I was young, my parents were very busy. Grandpa hadn't retired yet, so my grandmother was always with him in the army. Sometimes we were the only ones left at home, so my mother taught us some simple dishes. I was young at the time and didn't need to learn. But as my two older brothers and two older sisters went to school one after another, the task of cooking fell on me, so I can cook a little, but it's all simple. Don't be disgusted."
When Fu Sinian talked about his childhood, there was light in his eyes. In the eyes of others, his family was wealthy, his ancestors were high-ranking officials, and his parents were also very powerful people, but as children, they had a very hard time when they were young.
At the beginning, their father was in the army all year round, and their mother worked and raised them at the same time, which was very hard. Later, they followed their mother to their father's place, and the family was finally reunited, but their mother became even busier.
These brothers and sisters basically grew up on their own, supporting and helping each other, so they have a good relationship with each other.
Lin Siya found it very interesting to listen to Fu Sinian talk about his childhood.
"When you were little, you all lived in the army. Was the army interesting?"
"It's quite interesting. My father moved to several places, and the customs and habits in each place are different and quite interesting. However, I only stayed there until I graduated from elementary school. After that, I returned to Beijing. Because my grandfather had retired at that time, there was someone to take care of us, so my mother brought us children back to Beijing. It was mainly for our studies. After all, my father was in the northwest at that time, and the educational resources there were relatively scarce. It was not easy to go to school. Even in the army, there were only elementary and junior high schools. My eldest brother wanted to go to high school, so he had to return to Beijing."
"Oh, I see."
Lin Siya listened to Fu Sinian telling her stories about his childhood while watching him cook.
The man's movements were quite skillful, which showed that he must have done it at least once before.
About an hour later, three dishes and a soup were ready. They were all home-cooked side dishes.
Lin Siya tasted it and found it tasted good, especially the scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which was very much to her liking.
After the two of them finished their meal, Fu Sinian didn't ask her to clean up, but cleared the dishes himself.
The two of them agreed on a departure time for tomorrow. Fu Sinian left reluctantly because he had to go back and ask for leave from the factory director.
