108: Chapter 107 Still Not…
Su Yuncheng has been very busy lately, as busy as if he were planted in the police station.
The last ti I saw him was when we had shabu-shabu, which was almost half a month ago.
As a result, Su Yuncheng recently, whenever he saw Zhou Xu, really wanted to switch jobs with him.
That calculating look made Zhou Xu very nervous.
Su Yuncheng looked at the still delicate girl in front of him and said, “eting Zhou Xu was a coincidence, but coming to see you was not.”
Lin Nianhe, of course, guessed it couldn’t be such a coincidence.
She nodded and asked, “So you have sothing you need from ?”
“Yeah.” Su Yuncheng looked at her, “I have sothing for you at ho, co with to get it.”
That thing had only been delivered a couple of days ago, and he had planned to bring it over after he was done with his work these few days.
Lin Nianhe just thought he had another question to ask her, and turned her head to Wang Xixi and said, “Then Daxi, could you wait for for a while?”
Wang Xixi smiled, with a “I understand” expression, “Sure, you guys go ahead, I’ll wait here.”
Lin Nianhe knew she misunderstood, but it wasn’t convenient to explain in the street.
Just treat it as cooperating with police uncle’s investigation!
She comforted herself like this.
Su Yuncheng glanced at her, then at his own bicycle, and finally decided to push the bike and walk with her.
The street was crowded, and they weren’t walking fast.
Su Yuncheng asked, “Ca to town to buy sothing?”
“Yeah, the literacy class of the brigade is on tonight.
I ca to buy notebooks and pencils for the villagers,” Lin Nianhe replied.
“I have a lot of things, so Daxi ca with …
Oh right, you probably t her before, Aunt Wang’s elder daughter.”
“Hmm.” Su Yuncheng nodded, “I talked to her before while investigating a case.”
He rembered Wang Xixi out of professional habit, feeling it necessary to explain this to her.
Lin Nianhe didn’t think about these things at all; she was seriously recalling if Fu Aiguo had any unusual behavior recently.
Thinking all the way, but in the end, she knew nothing.
Fu Aiguo still went to work, and he wasn’t at the Educated Youth Corps during the day, she didn’t know what he usually did.
Lin Nianhe thought about it and decided to ask Wang Shui when she got back, since after the last ti Fu Aiguo was eavesdropping, Wang Shui was also quite wary of him, maybe she would know sothing.
“Nianhe.”
“Huh.”
Lin Nianhe’s train of thought was interrupted, she turned her head to look at Su Yuncheng: “What’s up?”
Su Yuncheng stopped and looked at her, sowhat helplessly: “We’re here.”
It was then that Lin Nianhe realized, without noticing, she had already followed him to the front of a small courtyard.
This area was probably also a family residential area; the houses were neatly arranged, and the ground was clean.
Lin Nianhe hurried back to Su Yuncheng’s side, explaining, “I was thinking about sothing.”
“Hmm.”
Su Yuncheng took out the keys to open the door, just as the door next door opened, and a sister-in-law carrying a net bag ca out.
Seeing Lin Nianhe next to him, she paused for a mont then laughed: “Xiao Su, are you bringing your girlfriend ho to play?”
With a teasing gaze moving back and forth between them, the sister-in-law perhaps thought she had seen through everything, couldn’t help but remark: “This girl is really pretty, which unit does she belong to?”
Lin Nianhe’s cheeks turned slightly red, just about to shake her head to deny it, then she heard Su Yuncheng say, “Sister-in-law Zhou, she’s not my girlfriend yet, she’s an educated youth who went to the countryside.”
“Huh?
You still know an educated youth?” Sister-in-law Zhou imdiately understood again, “Oh oh, from your old hotown then?
I’ve heard Zhou Xu ntion it.”
“Hmm.”
“Hahaha, knowing each other well is great…”
Sister-in-law Zhou completely ignored Su Yuncheng’s denial, her eyes crinkling as she smiled and grabbed Lin Nianhe’s hand: “Girl, I’m Zhou Xu’s elder sister-in-law.
You know Zhou Xu, right?
He’s the postman who frequently visits your place.”
Lin Nianhe forced a laugh: “Yeah, I know.”
She really wanted to ask Su Yuncheng what he ant by “not yet my partner”.
“Not yet” what?
At tis like this, using imprecise language can easily lead to misunderstandings!
However, Su Yuncheng did not et her gaze and continued unlocking his lock on his own.
Sister-in-law Zhou tugged on Lin Nianhe’s hand, rambling with instructions: “Girl, co visit my ho when you’re free.
My younger brother-in-law and Xiao Su are old comrades in arms, we often visit back and forth.
If you ever need anything, just talk to sister-in-law, don’t be shy!”
Lin Nianhe obediently responded: “Okay, thank you, sister-in-law.”
With a creak, the door opened.
Su Yuncheng turned around and said: “Sister Zhou, I’m taking her to get so stuff, she needs to go back later.”
“Ah, okay,” Sister-in-law Zhou, thrilled, her eyes narrowed happily, “then you guys go ahead.
Xiao Su, it’s getting dark, make sure to safely see the young lady ho.”
Sister-in-law Zhou seed really familiar with Su Yuncheng, her tone unconsciously carried the earnest advice of a family sister-in-law.
Before leaving, she didn’t forget to instruct Lin Nianhe: “Girl, if there’s anything, let Zhou Xu send a ssage for you.
Next ti tell sister-in-law in advance, I’ll make dumplings for you.”
“Ah, thank you, sister-in-law.” Lin Nianhe waved at her, “Take care.”
Sister-in-law Zhou left cheerfully, unconsciously quickening her pace, seeming to have sothing urgent to attend to.
Lin Nianhe touched her own face, which was quite hot.
She glared at Su Yuncheng, seriously correcting him: “You shouldn’t have said ‘not yet’ earlier.”
Su Yuncheng with a smile tugging at his lips: “Hmm?
Did I say that?”
“You did.” Lin Nianhe affird, “I heard it.”
“That might have been an accident.” Su Yuncheng entered the gate, telling her, “Co in.”
“Oh.”
Lin Nianhe followed him into the courtyard.
The courtyard was very tidy, the windows shiny and clear, showing the neatly arranged items inside as if asured with a ruler.
Only the row of scallions planted at the base of the wall looked wilted and droopy, clearly neglected recently.
Su Yuncheng hesitated for a mont but didn’t invite her inside, simply saying, “Wait a mont.”
With forbidden male-female fraternization, letting her inside might not be good, Su Yuncheng even left the courtyard gate open.
Lin Nianhe waited in the courtyard, spotting a brand-new bicycle in the west side.
The bicycle wasn’t a 28-inch, it looked a size smaller, probably a 26-inch won’s bicycle.
Lin Nianhe sized it up, considering, this height should be manageable for her, she thought about asking Wang Shui’s cousin to help her get a bicycle ticket, so she could also buy one.
Su Yuncheng soon ca out, holding a fabric bag in one hand, what was inside couldn’t be seen.
He said: “I’ve been at work these past days, there’s no boiled water at ho, are you thirsty?”
“Not thirsty.” Lin Nianhe shook her head, asking him, “Brother Yuncheng, did you want to ask sothing?”
“Hmm?” Su Yuncheng paused, imdiately understanding her implication, laughing as he shook his head, “No, the case I’m on is wrapping up soon.
Today I just needed to get sothing for you.”
As he spoke, he didn’t hand over the fabric bag to Lin Nianhe, instead, he gave her a shiny bike key.
“If you beco a teacher later, you’ll have more free ti, and you could go around the town.” he said, “A 28-inch bike is heavy and tall, I got you one that’s more convenient for won to ride.”
Lin Nianhe was both stunned and shocked.
In this era, a bicycle was basically equivalent to a luxury car of later generations.
It was enough to be used as a bridal gift.
