Siheyuan: Struggle in the Red Era

After the exercise, Lin Baoyan returned to the villa. She was shocked to see Director Liu and Wu Zhi, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, sitting on the sofa and drinking tea.

Lin Baoyan looked at the two of them curiously and asked, "Is everything settled? Are you free to come over today?"

Liu smiled at Lin Baoyan, and Lin Baoyan couldn't help but touch her arm. Then she turned her eyes away and looked at Wu Zhi, then said, "It's been a long time since I last came to see you. Today I just happened to have some time off, so I came to see you."

If Director Liu said he had something to talk to her about, Lin Baoyan could still believe it to some extent, but if he said he came to see her during his break, she really didn't believe it.

When does Director Liu have time to rest?

She asked bluntly, "Any instructions? Or is there anything I need to know?"

Wu Zhi chuckled, spread his hands towards Liu and said, "Look, right? Remember to give me the ticket."

Seeing Lin Baoyan's confusion, he didn't explain and said, "I know you're still thinking about that idiot. I'm afraid you'll always worry about him, so I came to talk about his situation and make you happy."

Lin Baoyan immediately took out a big watermelon from the space, ran to the kitchen to wash and cut it, put it on a plate and brought it to the two of them, and enthusiastically urged them to eat: "Come on, eat quickly, I think this watermelon tastes better than the last time. The professors at the Agricultural University are really amazing. They can grow such sweet and crispy watermelons."

Wu Zhi didn't hesitate to pick up the biggest piece and made a big bite out of it. When he was satisfied, he said, "That idiot is very obedient now and won't dare to make trouble again."

Lin Baoyan was puzzled. Didn't she say before that this idiot was quite brainless? When did he grow a brain?

Seeing Lin Baoyan's thoughts, Wu Zhi ignored them and continued, "I don't know if the medicine this idiot got was defective. After he was brought back to the bureau, he acted more stupid every day than the day before. At first, he was very tough and ignored everyone who came. When he was unhappy, he would bang his head against the wall for fun."

Director Liu listened to Wu Zhi's nonsense in silence. He took the watermelon and tasted it slowly, while observing Lin Baoyan's expression.

"Then, after a few days, we organized a team of experts to talk to him every day and give him education classes every day. As a result, he really changed and cooperated well with our researchers."

Lin Baoyan was very skeptical: "That's impossible. How can a fool like that understand human language unless he becomes an idiot? Actually, I think it's better for him to become an idiot. He will do whatever he is told to do and won't cause trouble for others. By the way, what did his defective strengthening potion turn him into? I hope he is not a rubbish that transforms for ten minutes and becomes soft for a week."

Seeing Wu Zhi staring at her, she asked hesitantly, "Isn't that right?"

Wu Zhi was still staring at her, and she was a little panicked: "No, what on earth has he become?"

Liu smiled and said, "How did you come up with the idea that it takes ten minutes to transform and one week to cartilage? Is there any particular reason for these ten minutes?"

Lin Baoyan said as a matter of course: "He was fighting this and that in the courtyard, it must have taken a long time, and then my brother Zhou tortured him and he actually obeyed obediently, so he must have been defeated. If he couldn't be defeated, then his ability would be ineffective, so I said that it takes ten minutes to transform and a week to soften the bones. Tell me, is what I said right?"

Director Liu laughed and said, "Yes, yes, you are almost right, but it takes too long. It should only be five minutes at most. Five minutes."

Lin Baoyan thought about it and felt that it was true. They were just a few ordinary people who had never learned martial arts. Five minutes was too long. She nodded and said, "Yes, ten minutes is indeed too long. Just five minutes."

The two of them sat for a while and finished eating a watermelon weighing more than ten pounds before leaving, as if they really came to tell her about that idiot.

Two days later, Zhou Kangzhan came to see her and brought her another letter from He Yushui.

Lin Baoyan didn't read the letter. She looked Zhou Kangzhan up and down first. She was relieved when she confirmed that his arms and legs were intact. Then she saw the dark circles under his eyes that seemed to have been there for the past six months. She said distressedly, "You should also pay attention to rest. You have such serious dark circles under your eyes. How long has it been since you had a good night's sleep?"

Zhou Kangzhan pinched his brows and said, "Don't worry, I eat well and sleep well, I'll be fine."

Lin Baoyan had no choice. During this period of time, everyone in the organization wished they had 48 hours a day, and they were all working hard. Now that he came to see her, she could only bring him some more delicious food and accompany him to rest for a while.

She brought out a large plate of big strawberries and ate with him quietly, while reading He Yushui's letter.

The letter said that his brother's arm was broken, but her sister-in-law didn't feel sorry for her brother at all. She had been taking care of her brother all this time. As a result, she told her brother that her sister-in-law's behavior was wrong, and her brother got angry with her. She was so angry that she didn't want to pay any attention to this fool anymore.

There was a rumor in the yard that Yi Zhonghai and others would be transferred to support the factory construction. Liu Haizhong was very happy those days. He would stick his belly out wherever he went and talk to everyone he saw. It was very annoying. In the end, when the transfer list came out, no one in the yard was transferred away, and Liu Haizhong became completely depressed.

According to the second aunt, Yi Zhonghai was bound to be transferred, but he found the deaf old lady, and he was not transferred. Now many neighbors carry gifts to please the deaf old lady, thinking that she does have some connections.

Lin Baoyan frowned. She thought the deaf old lady would never be the same as in the TV series, but she didn't expect this to happen.

However, no matter how hard the deaf old lady tried, it was useless. The courtyard houses in this world were completely different from those in the TV series.

Not everyone can build a courtyard house nowadays.

Continue reading the letter.

School is about to start. Although He Yuzhu's arm has not healed yet, He Yushui has to live on campus and can only be taken care of by He Sanmei. He Yushui said that she was very worried about whether her sister-in-law could take good care of her brother. But school has started again and she has to go to school and cannot take leave. She feels very upset.

Finally, at the end of the letter, it was casually stated that Fang Daming, who lived in the west hall of the front yard, had gone crazy and was sent to a mental hospital.

Lin Baoyan smiled.

It turned out that when Fang Daming was arrested, the external explanation was that he was mentally ill. If a person is mentally ill, no matter how crazy he says or does, it is not surprising.

She gently put down the letter in her hand and tilted her head to look at Zhou Kangzhan.

In such a short time, he had fallen asleep leaning back on the sofa with a half-eaten strawberry in his hand.

Lin Baoyan didn't dare to move or make a sound, and just let Zhou Kangzhan sleep like this.

I don’t know how long he has not rested, so let him have a good sleep for a while. It is very likely that when he wakes up, he will be busy again.

She simply entered the space and planned to write a letter to He Yushui. If friends were separated for a long time and did not communicate through letters, they would soon become estranged. She only had this one good friend now.
