nished Zhang Qingfang, but he also understood her kindness. In the end, he just shook his head and left. 。Jiang Yan seized the opportunity to stop him, preparing to offer fish as a gift. 。"Mister, I j...Jiang Yan's kindness was met with a cold shower. He had wanted to give Zhang Qingfang a lesson, but a sudden downpour interrupted him. 。He watched Zhang Qingfang's flustered figure flee, teardrops falling to the ground one by one. He felt a mixture of anger and helplessness in his heart. 。He decided to temporarily press down his anger, after all, nitpicking with her would only make him seem petty. 。He took a deep breath, deciding to let her go for now. But the anger within him, like a winter wind, lingered long after she was gone. 。After bathing in hot water and drinking ginseng chicken soup, Jiang Yan's body and mind gradually recovered their warmth. He changed into a plain set of clothes and decided to return to the countryside resettlement point. 。He understood that the whole play had to be performed, and he couldn't relax his vigilance because of a moment's lapse in concentration. 。What he needed to do was light the fire, fill the room with warmth as quickly as possible, and give Zhang Qingfang a small lesson, letting her understand that every step in life needs to be taken seriously. 。As soon as Jiang Yan stepped into the educated youth point, he sensed something was amiss. 。Li Weimin and Zhao Ligong made a makeshift isolation door together when they first arrived. 。Although they held little practical use, they always made sure to close them tightly every time they went out. 。However, at this moment, the fence gate unexpectedly left a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through, obviously not made by an animal. 。Among the other educated youths, men rushed to deliver their catches to the city. However, Zhang Qingfang, due to her cautious and hesitant personality, remained undecided. 。It was impossible to return alone, Lu Hong was sent to organize the ingredients. 【As they parted, you could still faintly hear Niu Xiaolan's loud voice praising her】 。Faced with this situation, Jiang Yan struggled in his heart for a moment before resolutely deciding to take out the firearm he had prepared that day. He silently approached the courtyard. 。The main house's outer door was tightly locked, the key generously provided by Zhang Qingfang, a brand-new item from a red lantern district. 。Each room in the house had its own independent storage. Despite living in poverty, Lu Hong carried two old, lock-covered suitcases to protect her valuables. 。Zhang Qingfang's door was also equipped with a red lantern lock, just slightly smaller in size. 。Jiang Yan immediately had locks installed on the wardrobes brought for He Jianguo and others, storing clothes and other daily necessities. Precious items were all placed in her private space. 。Even so, she still worries that Zhang Qingfang or Lu Hong might lose their possessions, leading to unnecessary disputes. 。She was unwilling to argue with these two people every day, and she was even more afraid of being framed. Although they were new here and hadn't formed a deep grudge yet, things in the world could change unexpectedly. 。If someone had ill intentions towards them, wanted to find a scapegoat, even if it was just to put some discordant elements in, and then found the Revolutionary Committee people to intervene, even if they didn't suffer from full-fledged criticism sessions, they could still be seriously hit. 。A midnight visit must harbor a secret. 。Jiang Yan stood by the window, intending to gently push the yellowed paper covering it. However, recalling the mansion theft case in Detective Conan, she developed a fear of spying, even covering her notebook's camera with a band-aid. 。At this moment, she was faced with a difficult choice: to risk checking it out or to passively wait, waiting for the unknown presence to leave the room. 。At this moment, she could only catch faint sounds from the outside world, inching closer and closer to the edge of the truth, just like waiting for the climax of a movie but encountering a sudden power outage, her heart filled with anxiety. 。However, Jiang Yan knew her limits. As the glimmer gradually faded and was about to disappear into her private domain, she was about to retreat into the depths of space, but unexpectedly, the kitten in her arms suddenly leaped out and ran straight towards the firewood pile. This sudden action tightened Jiang Yan's heartstrings, and unconsciously, a small stone slipped from under her foot, making a crisp sound that shattered the silence. It hit the wooden box carefully prepared by Jiang Yan. That was the tool used for planting fruits and vegetables. 。Jiang Yan's heart sank. She caught sight of the kitten hiding in the firewood pile, but she didn't hesitate. She crouched down in the corner, gripping her weapon, only to see the last flicker of light in the room vanish instantly. 。Her heart hung in mid-air, doubts swirling like autumn leaves. Was it a human or a ghost She had prepared herself, but after a long silence, there was nothing but the rustling of the wind. 。The kitten may have gone to the firewood pile for warmth. After returning, it saw Jiang Yan squatting there and playfully circled her. 。Jiang Yan was agitated, shoving the kitten into his spatial storage and remaining steadfast in place. Time seemed to freeze until a booming voice echoed from outside the door: "Jiang Yan, it's dinner time!" 。This sudden summons undoubtedly pushed the awkwardness to its peak. Jiang Yan helplessly rubbed his forehead, even denying it couldn't change the fact. 。She hesitated whether to respond, believing that Ni Xiaolan had no connection with the people inside. The Lingzhi and the thin Tianqi accompanying her should be her elder brother, Tianqi, who had once been a veterinarian. 。She was grateful she'd only changed her underwear; her jacket still looked like it did when she left. She holstered her gun and said unconvincingly, "I'll be right there, you guys eat first. I just changed clothes, I'm freezing." 。However, when she approached the door, she was astonished to find that the crimson red lantern was locked securely and showed no signs of damage. 。"Take your time, I'll go get two lunch boxes." 。Niú Xiǎolán urged, Jiāng Yán's heart tightened, instinctively blocking in front of Niú Xiǎolán, trying to protect this possibly existing secret passage. 。"What are you doing " 。 Niu Xiaolan asked in confusion, Jiang Yan gave an embarrassed smile, realizing his gaffe. Since it wasn't a forced entry, there had to be more than one way out. 。Jiang Yuling gently pushed open the door, deliberately turning on the bedside lamp. She looked around the room, finding no signs of abnormality. 。Zhang Fangfang's door was firmly shut, the latch as secure as ever. Faced with Niu Xiaolan's urging, she had to suppress her doubts and step into her own room. 。Niu Xiaolan followed behind, while Lingzhi stayed with her older brother in the courtyard, not entering inside. 。After entering the room, Jiang Yu examined the two windows, a hint of worry in her brow. 。Because of the cold winter, she had sealed the window gaps with paper strips. If someone broke in, the paper strips should have been damaged. 。Could it be Lu Hong's room She instructed Niu Xiaolan to fetch the lunchbox from the kitchen and quickly changed into her outerwear, walking towards the village committee with a sense of urgency. In her mind, she speculated that the person's late-night activities might be aimed at finding something valuable or a hidden secretAmong the three, she and Zhang Xiaofang had different social standings. Lu Cai seemed innocent and naive, but Jiang Yu only knew what she said and dared not speculate about her true background. 。Facing the complex situation, Jiang Yu's heart remained always vigilant. 。Although her mind was racing with thoughts on the journey, when facing the villagers' joy, Jiang Yu felt a wave of contentment deep within her heart. 。She is not a selfless saint, but she wishes to contribute to society as best she can, of course within her own principles. 。

The task of delivering fish into the city tonight might be difficult to complete. With two of Niu Bo's sons staying behind to help, along with the respected Uncle Three and Uncle Five looking after things, villagers gathered together to share a meal. The remaining food and fish were given to elderly widows and families in poverty, and then fish was distributed.

Jiang Yu, I have a suggestion. We already have two fish. Could we order some shrimp as well 。Before dividing the fish, Lu Hong carefully walked to Jiang Yu's side and offered a suggestion. 。Jiang Yu caught sight of the villagers lining up, and roughly guessed that they probably thought the shrimp portion was insufficient, and the cooking was too complicated, so they were unwilling to take it. 。Lu Hong's suggestion might gain more support, and she readily agreed, after all, she didn't lack these things. But respecting other people's opinions was a must, especially those of the absent gentlemen. 。ssions spaced about one to two minutes apart, gradually increasing the affected area. 。For someone with an acute temper, it's hard to avoid this. Jiang Yu also suffered twice and then returned to norm...
