Chapter 280 Mission Impossible
Lin Yiyi sat on the stool and looked at Zhao Liren, not knowing what to say for a moment.
She doesn't need candy.
They would never exchange the food coupons that were meant to fill their stomachs for candy.
Zhao Liren didn't want to miss the opportunity, so she smiled and tried to sell it again, "Do you want to change it? It's definitely a delicious candy."
In order to make it more tempting, I took out one and put it on the table.
Pregnant women love to eat delicious food, so this should be effective.
Lin Yiyi glanced at the colorful candy wrapper and was very annoyed at her boldness. She frowned and said, "Take it back."
Zhao Liren didn't expect her to react like this and thought she didn't know the product. "This is really delicious, sweet and with a hint of milky fruit."
Lin Yiyi was amazed at her boldness, but she couldn't tell her directly, so she could only remind her indirectly.
"You're exchanging food coupons with others like this? If you don't have food coupons, you'd better go back to the countryside."
Zhao Liren gave her a complicated look and pouted, "Forget it if you don't want to change it."
He took the candy back and continued eating the sweet tofu pudding in his bowl.
She stayed in the city as a temporary worker just because she didn't want to be forced into marriage.
It's really easy to talk without any pain in the waist.
Do you think everyone is as lucky as her? Having a husband to take care of her?
Lin Yiyi knew it was difficult to persuade him. Saying too much would expose herself. She could only play dumb and deliberately said, "I've never seen candy like this. Where did you get it from?"
"A friend gave it to me, just a small handful." When she asked about the source, Zhao Liren immediately became alert and replied.
Lin Yiyi said "oh" meaningfully and looked at Zhao Liren with a scrutinizing look on purpose.
In order to arouse her alertness to danger, he added another sentence.
"Your friends are all classmates from town or the countryside, and their conditions are limited. Who will give you this candy?"
“…”
Zhao Liren's expression froze and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her back.
He took a sip of the tofu pudding to cover up.
Once again, she felt that she had underestimated the IQ of people of this era.
Even her second sister-in-law, who looks naive, is a smart person.
Seeing the effect, Lin Yiyi stopped pressing, sprinkled a little water from the kettle, and casually drew a few marks on the table.
Zhao Sheng was queuing up to buy tofu pudding, keeping an eye on her from time to time. He saw Lin Yiyi talking to Zhao Liren with a serious expression.
After buying the tofu pudding, I walked over quickly.
"You've been waiting for a long time. Eat quickly and talk less."
Hearing the meaning behind the man's words, Lin Yiyi secretly glared at him, scooped a spoonful of tofu pudding and slurped it.
Because it was difficult to feed him outside, Lin Yiyi ate a few bites quickly and didn't touch the remaining small bowl.
His fingers lightly touched the edge of the bowl and pushed it over.
Zhao Sheng frowned, "You're not going to eat anymore?"
She used to be able to eat two small bowls at a time, but now she eats less and less.
Seeing her shaking her head like a rattle, the man picked up the bowl and drank a few sips of the tofu pudding. As if he didn't know Zhao Liren, he took Lin Yiyi out directly.
Leave the city center.
I returned to Lihua Alley, entered the yard, locked my bicycle, and took her hand into the house.
Zhao Sheng put his things away and sat in the chair in silence.
He didn't know if it was his illusion, but after meeting Zhao Liren just now, he always felt that someone was staring at her.
Especially when I was sitting at the same table with her, his vague gazes were on her.
He couldn't ignore it at all.
Lin Yiyi saw that he pursed his lips into a line, reached out and poked the back of his hand, and met the man's inquiring gaze.
"what's on your mind?"
Zhao Sheng thought about it again and again, and pondered for a moment, "Don't forget what you promised me. Keep your distance from Zhao Lili, and it's best to pretend that you don't know her when you meet her."
It was almost time for her to return to the village.
“…”
Bringing up old things again.
Lin Yiyi more or less understood what the man meant.
Zhao Sheng had long noticed that Zhao Lili had obvious changes, but he didn't know what they were. He felt that it was dangerous to figure it out, so he was so alert.
However, this time his tone was obviously more cautious and severe than last time.
"Can you tell me how you're more nervous today than last time?"
Zhao Sheng frowned with a complicated expression, his eyes moved slightly, his thin lips were tightly closed and he said nothing. Seeing that he seemed to be hesitating, Lin Yiyi blurted out.
"You promised me not to have any secrets from me."
After a long while, the man sighed, held her hand, and whispered, "I just don't know how to tell you. It's just a feeling, and it's hard to describe without any evidence."
Lin Yiyi's eyes widened immediately and she asked anxiously, "What does it feel like?"
"I feel like someone is staring at her." Zhao Sheng raised his eyebrows and uttered a few words in a floating tone.
"!!!"
The man's voice was flat and low, but the words he said shocked Lin Yiyi's heart.
She was screaming inwardly, what did he mean by that?
Except that they both felt something was wrong.
Is anyone else already watching?
"Cousin, I want to tell you something, do you still remember when mother and Zhao Lili came to the city to look for the He family?
You took them to He's house that day, and continued to work after you came back."
"But not long after, my mother called the factory again and said that Zhao Lili had sneaked into the city to look for the He family again, and asked me to help find her.
I was pregnant and it was inconvenient for me to move around, so I could only wait at home. Zhao Liren came to my house to exchange food coupons for me. "
Lin Yiyi bit her lower lip, looked into the man's eyes carefully, and said word by word: "She exchanged it with me for a piece of chocolate."
She didn't need to say anything more about the rest, the man would naturally understand.
Where did she, a country girl, get the chocolate?
Zhao Sheng frowned again and again, pursed his thin lips again and again, his pupils shrank slightly, and his heart was like a mess.
Things are getting tricky.
He can't do anything for the past year or so.
"She just took out a piece of candy that is not even sold in grocery stores and wanted to exchange it for food stamps from me, but I refused."
Lin Yiyi showed worry on her face. She looked at the man and said timidly, "She wouldn't... wouldn't... do something sneaky, right?"
"Stealing is against the law."
Lin Yiyi deliberately mislead the question in this direction, not daring to show an expression that showed she knew the truth.
Not to mention any other miraculous things.
Zhao Sheng held his forehead with his hand. The tense atmosphere was completely disrupted by her few words.
The man smiled helplessly and said, "Stealing is against the law."
He opened his mouth and bit her fingertips, then held her on his lap and kissed her cheek, his eyes filled with complicated thoughts.
It’s best to keep a distance from “her”.
The muffled thunder really became a landmine.
After dinner.
Zhao Sheng soaked Lin Yiyi's feet in hot water together, then coaxed her to sleep. Listening to her rhythmic and even breathing, he thought about what happened throughout the night.
Consider it over and over again to make sure there is no evidence of any kind.
I felt a little more at ease.
The next morning, Zhao Sheng went out to the transport team to work as usual.
Lin Yiyi reads books, newspapers and listens to the radio at home.
However, when he heard about the capture of an enemy spy who had been hiding among the people for five years, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.
This seems to be just a trigger, which inexplicably makes people feel annoyed.
Lin Yiyi knew clearly who it was because of, and that she would have to pay the price for not following the rules.
She has already reminded me.
