Chapter 629: Courtyard 5
After the kang plate is ready, it needs to be burned for two more days to allow it to dry thoroughly before it can be used.
This means that Lin Sui will have to make do with that simple bed for a few more days before he can sleep in a warm bed.
However, the situation is much better now than before.
The masters not only set up the kang, but also built a fire wall next to it.
This way, although the house looks smaller, it is much warmer than before.
Lin Sui gets up early every day to go to work. After get off work, she spends time alone in her little house, occasionally using her spiritual sense to check on the hustle and bustle of the people in the courtyard.
She is just a passerby and background character in this yard, living her life step by step.
Lin Sui's work in the Propaganda Department went smoothly, and everyone took good care of her. She was promoted to a permanent position last month.
In the courtyard, everyone knew that she was the only one left in her family, but no one really dared to bully her.
Just because there was a sign that read "Home of Honor" hanging brightly on her door.
It was only then that the people in the yard realized that this was a unique treatment for the martyrs' home.
People in the yard had always heard that the deaf old lady was a military family member and that her son was a martyr, but they had never seen anyone from above come to hang a sign at her house.
These people did grumble before, but they were all fooled by Yi Zhonghai with just a few words.
For this matter, Yi Zhonghai came to see Lin Sui once again.
He had a patriarchal smile on his face, but his eyes kept glancing at the sign that read "Home of Honor."
"Xiao Lin, I came here today to tell you something.
Look, there is a sign hanging at your door, it's not a good idea.
It's too detached from the masses. Our courtyard house emphasizes harmonious neighborhood and everyone getting along well with each other.
If you hang it like this, others will think you are different from others."
Lin Suixin said, "You are treating me like a child and fooling me. Are you speaking human language?"
His brows furrowed slightly, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
"Uncle, this sign is the honor my parents earned with their lives, why shouldn't I hang it?
They all sacrificed, and although they didn't expect anything in return, as their daughter, how could I not even let others know about their honor?"
Yi Zhonghai was a little anxious when he saw Lin Sui's tough attitude, but he pretended to be calm and continued to persuade:
"Xiao Lin, that's not what I meant. I meant that with the sign hanging, you're special in the eyes of others.
Everyone will think you are arrogant, which is not conducive to the unity of our courtyard.
As a little girl living in our yard, you should interact more with your neighbors so that everyone can help you more.
What you are doing now is somewhat out of touch with the masses."
Lin Sui almost spat in his face.
The protagonists are always the ones who are out of touch with the masses, especially your uncle.
She has a good relationship with the neighbors in the yard who are not the protagonists, and no one has as many troubles as them.
Lin Sui sneered in his heart.
"Uncle, I don't think hanging this sign will affect unity.
The higher-ups sent it to me so that I could hang it up. Besides, it's an honor. When outsiders see that we have a martyrs' home in our yard, they will only look up to the people in our yard.
Moreover, this will only benefit our hospital in the evaluation of advanced institutions. Don't you agree with this?"
Yi Zhonghai was left speechless by Lin Sui. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to refute.
After a long while, he said awkwardly, "Okay, Xiaolin, you're right, I was mistaken.
Don’t stay in the house reading books all the time. Come out and walk around with others.
There are many young people in the yard, and you can all chat together."
No longer trying to take her tag, Lin Sui's face returned to its usual obedient expression.
"I see, uncle. I'm also happy to chat with the people in our yard. I'm sorry to bother you."
I added in my mind that as long as I didn't chat with the protagonists, life would still be very pleasant.
The kind words that Lin Sui added at the end finally made Yi Zhonghai feel a little better.
Looking at Lin Sui's polite demeanor, it was probably because the child was too young and didn't know how to speak tactfully, which was why he was so choking just now.
Yi Zhonghai found an excuse for himself and was about to turn around and walk back.
Lin Sui politely saw him off and Yi Zhonghai waved his hand.
"You can go back. We are all in our own yard. There is no need to send us home."
But I felt relieved. You see, the kid didn't mean to talk back to me just now.
The main reason was that the old man really didn't dare to do anything to Lin Sui, and he didn't even dare to say anything harsh.
If he doesn't attack himself, he has no other choice.
When life goes smoothly, it feels like time passes by too quickly.
The beginning of autumn has just passed, and most of the leaves of the locust trees in Nanluoguxiang have turned yellow overnight.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the bluestone road of the courtyard. As soon as Lin Sui entered the courtyard after get off work, she saw three uncles, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, all preening themselves in their respective homes.
The one who dressed up the most enthusiastically was Xu Damao.
He was wearing a blue woolen Zhongshan suit, and the straight lines made him look much more energetic.
His hair looked like it had been smeared with half a bottle of hair oil. It was so shiny that you could see your reflection in it, and every hair lay flat on his scalp.
Although he could not understand the aesthetics of the time, Lin Sui expressed his respect.
While walking into the yard, Lin Sui suddenly remembered that this time period was the time when Lou Xiao'e and Xu Damao were going on a blind date.
No wonder Xu Damao dressed himself up so hard. The three uncles should have gone to accompany him, and Sha Zhu probably went to the Lou family's kitchen to show off his cooking skills.
Lin Sui was just thinking about it when Xu Damao saw her and for some reason he opened his mouth to invite Lin Sui over.
"Xiao Lin, I'm going on a blind date tonight. The three uncles from our hospital are all going. Do you want to come along and keep me company?"
Lin Sui was stunned on the spot.
Who would let a woman who is not related to him at all to accompany them on a blind date? This is unheard of.
Xu Damao was probably too happy and his mind was not clear.
However, Lin Sui quickly regained his composure, with a gentle smile on his face.
"Brother Damao, are you so happy that you're confused? Calm down quickly. Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu are still waiting to hold their grandchildren. Come on, brother Damao, you will definitely succeed today."
In fact, as soon as Xu Damao said this, he realized that he was wrong and felt upset.
He usually likes to talk nonsense. When he sees people, he habitually says something without thinking at all.
Hearing Lin Sui say this, he scratched his head awkwardly and hurried down the stairs.
"You really need to calm down. My mind is like a mess right now. When we get there, you must stay calm."
As he spoke, he patted his head with his hand.
Lin Sui looked at Xu Damao's appearance and couldn't help but chuckle.
