After resigning, I want to go back to the village to grow sweet potatoes

Chapter 72
Lin Xizhen's small courtyard is located at the foot of Yuhuang Mountain in Shuizhou. A single-family courtyard like this in the old city of Shuizhou is a rare thing both in the past and in the present.

The small courtyard is purely Chinese-style Jiangnan typical architecture, with white walls and black tiles, a traditional three-entry courtyard, low in front and high in back.

Entering the courtyard is the vestibule first, and the cobblestone-paved road under one patio has green plants and running water, which is quiet and poetic.

The atrium is a small two-story building. The kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and a small room are on the first floor. Yu Hui lives in this small room when she comes over.

There are three rooms on the second floor of the atrium, a big room facing south and a small room. The big room is Lin Xizhen's bedroom, the small room is an embroidery room, and the one facing north is a study.

The three-story main building in the backyard is locked all the year round, and Lin Xizhen never lets anyone in, including Yu Hui.

Zhuang Yan came to interview Lin Xizhen before and came to see Yu Hui some time ago, but she was only on the first floor of the atrium, and never went to the second floor of the atrium. Only Lin Daoqin was dragged by Lin Xizhen to her bedroom on the second floor for mysterious questioning.

Lin Xizhen usually lives alone in the small courtyard, embroidering flowers, watching the moon and reading books, which does not have the low-key and quietness of "a big hermit hidden in the city".

"Xiao Yan, you have something to do, Xiaoxi and I will go up there to sort out old things."

As soon as Lin Xizhen entered the small courtyard, she couldn't wait to pull Linxi upstairs.Seeing Zhuang Yan following behind, she turned her head to stop him from going up the stairs.

"Grandma Xi, I've just started working at work now, I'll go back later and help you tidy up first, I'll do some of the hard work."

Zhuang Yan didn't understand Lin Xizhen's real intention, and stepped on the stairs with one foot.

"Then help me clean the vestibule. It's too dirty after staying here for so many days."

Lin Xizhen stood in the middle of the stairs, turned her head and smiled and ordered Zhuang Yan.

"Grandma Xi, it's not dirty at all, it's very clean, I'd better come up and help you organize things."

Zhuang Yan looked back at the aisle, and wanted to step on the stairs with the other foot.

"If you tell you to clean it, go clean it quickly, can't you hear me clearly?"

Lin Xizhen suppressed her smile, and her tone was clearly displeased.

"okay."

Solemnly withdrew his foot, went to pick up the broom and began to clean the vestibule.

It doesn't look dirty, just take a broom to sweep it, there is really a thick layer of dust.Green plants also have broken branches and fallen leaves, which need to be picked up carefully.

Zhuang Yan was born and raised in the rural area, and he has a way of serving green plants. After cleaning up the fallen leaves on the ground, he went to the atrium bathroom to get a rag, and prepared to wipe off the sludge on the flower pots and leaves.

"Woooooo, I don't believe it, I don't believe it, woooooo..."

Just as Zhuang Yan walked downstairs in the atrium, she heard Lin Xi's crying, vaguely mixed with the voices between her and Lin Xizhen.His heart tightened, and he couldn't help but lean on the handrail of the stairs and listen carefully.

"Xi'er, it's all grandma's fault, grandma begs for your forgiveness!"

"Woooooo, why? Why? Why did you abandon me? Woooooo..."

Since Lin Xizhen and Lin Xi were upstairs, Zhuang Yan couldn't hear clearly, so he tiptoed and prepared to sneak upstairs to approach their door in order to hear clearly.

"Dang clang..."

Zhuang Yan accidentally bumped into an iron pot at the top of the stairs.

"Sheng Yan, what are you doing?"

Lin Xizhen opened the door abruptly.

"Grandma Xi, I don't do anything, I don't do anything. I'm looking for a rag, I'm looking for a rag."

Standing at the top of the stairs, Lin Xizhen glared at Zhuang Yan condescendingly, which made Zhuang Yan shudder.

"The rag is in the bathroom."

"Oh."

Solemn had to retreat down the stairs.

"You'd better go out and do your own business. I'll do it myself after a while."

"Oh."

Zhuang Yan turned around and was about to leave, when Lin Xi's sobs came intermittently.

"Grandma Xi, what happened to Lin Xi?"

"Xi'er is fine, you can go to work quickly. Remember to lock the door, don't come back without Lin Xi calling you."

"Oh."

Zhuang Yan walked out of the small courtyard and looked up. The curtains of the room on the second floor of the atrium inside the wall were tightly drawn, as if hiding some secret unknown to outsiders...

Why is Lin Xi crying?

"I do not believe?"

What does Lin Xi not believe?
"Why did you abandon me?"

abandon me?Who abandoned Lin Xi?

Creek?Grandma Xi always called Linxi Xiaoxi with grandpa and mother, why did she suddenly change her name to Xier?

Do not believe?throw away?Creek?
Is Lin Xi really the granddaughter of Grandma Xi?Grandma Xi abandoned her?

impossible!
Lin Xi is the daughter of Uncle Desheng, who grew up with me, how could she be the granddaughter of Grandma Xi?
No, there must be something hidden here.

The last time Grandma Xi mysteriously pulled her mother to her room for questioning, the two of them talked for such a long time without saying anything, Grandma Xi came out and held Lin Xi's hand tightly, always wanting Lin Xi to be by her side.

During the days in Qingshuiwan, Grandma Xi had to sleep with Lin Xi in the same room at night, and even refused to let Lin Xi go back to her home.

Also, when talking about money last night, Grandma Xi said that the money belonged to Lin Xi, and it was up to Lin Xi to decide whether to keep it or not.

Oh my god, is Lin Xi really Grandma Xi's granddaughter?
What if Lin Xi is really Grandma Xi's granddaughter?Then why did she abandon Lin Xi?Who are Lin Xi's parents?

Grandma Xi never really married, and Yu Dayou is not Grandma Xi's real son, so Yu Hui is not Grandma Xi's real granddaughter either.It's impossible that Lin Xi is also Yu Dayou's daughter, right?If Lin Xi is also Yu Dayou's daughter, then it can't be Grandma Xi's granddaughter?

Grandma Xi didn't seem to love Yu Hui. This time when Yu Hui left Shuizhou, Zhuang Yan casually said that she was busy with work, but Grandma Xi didn't ask any further questions.However, she loves Lin Xi very much. Ever since they met, she has been reluctant to leave Lin Xi for half a step. Lin Xi is like the honey in her mouth, afraid of melting in her mouth, but reluctant to spit it out.

I must investigate the truth!
Cut, do you think you are a detective?Still investigating the truth?This is the privacy of Grandma Xi and Lin Xi. You, a big man, don't see the wind and rain, and just hear Lin Xi cry a few times and start thinking wildly.

It is impossible for Grandma Xi to hurt Lin Xi. About Lin Xi and Grandma Xi, they will let you know what they should know. It is useless to ask around for what you should not know, but it will arouse the disgust of Grandma Xi and Lin Xi.

Yes, I must not be like those gossip women and gossip girls, who are so excited that they prick up their ears and ask around when there is any trouble.

For me, I still concentrate on thinking about how to activate the bamboo and embroidery processing plants in Qingshuiwan Village as soon as possible. At least five stone houses in the old village will be renovated and put into trial operation before the National Day.

Thinking of this solemnly, he shook his head and quickened his pace to the County Housing and Construction Bureau.

"Sheng Yan, it's good that you came, I was just about to call you."

As soon as he walked into Xu Yibing's office, Xu Yibing excitedly held his hands.

"Brother Xu, has the renovation plan for stone houses in our village been approved?"

"Solemn, not only has the stone house renovation plan been approved, but the region is also preparing to carry out a pilot project of comprehensive renovation and standardized construction in your village in the new era. The supporting funds will be jointly resolved by the regional and county finances."

"That's great, Brother Xu, thank you."

"What's the use of thanking me as a little follower? I'm just doing some specific work on your ideas. If you want to thank me, go to Xie Yu LD. She supported you Qingshuiwan at the district and county planning demonstration meetings Village, she has much more detailed first-hand materials than ours. Also, the Cultural Tourism Bureau’s Wang Lao Cultural Relics has already written a report on Lin’s ancestral hall’s application to the provincial cultural protection unit. I heard that the province will organize experts to come next week Your field trip to Clear Water Bay."

"Brother Xu, the efficiency of your department is really high now. I must thank Yu LD and Wang Laowen. Oh, it's not good!"

"what's wrong?"

"Wang Lao's cultural relics have been in Qingshui Bay for so many days, and we all forgot to bring him food."
