Courtyard House: She got anxious when He Yushui wasn't licked.

Chapter 60 Sign-in, Phoenix Brand Bicycle

After He Yuzhu won Qin Huairu's favor, Qin Huairu's alluring gaze captivated He Yuzhu, leaving him momentarily mesmerized.

Having received twenty jin of cornmeal for free, Qin Huairu used the excuse of cooking for the children to sway her hips and leave.

He Yuzhu was already used to it, and he hummed a little tune as he returned to his room.

He Yushui pushed her bicycle and stopped in front of the side room. She went back inside and looked at a letter with a headache.

The letter was written by Zhang Hao, who was too ashamed to face He Yushui, so he could only express his thoughts in this way.

He Yushui opened the letter. The letter was very simple. It was an apology to her, asking her to give him another chance.

However, judging from the contents of the letter, Zhang Hao was indeed very sincere and made a profound self-examination.

However, when He Yushui thought about what happened last night, she still felt lost and afraid.

Fearing that Zhang Hao was hiding his true nature too well, she put on a show for him, only to reveal his true colors once the marriage certificate was issued.

On the other hand, Wang Lin remained unfazed no matter how much he drank, and he never acted out while drunk.

After reading the letter, He Yushui carefully put it away in a book. She was very confused and didn't know what to do. Although Yu Haitang had comforted her all night, she still couldn't get over it.

As she pondered, He Yushui thought of Wang Lin and wondered what he was doing at that moment.

On a whim, He Yushui straightened her clothes and hair and left the side room.

He Yuzhu saw a familiar figure flash past the window. He opened the door and went out to see that He Yushui was walking towards the backyard.

This left He Yuzhu completely baffled. What was He Yushui doing? Was she still entangled with Wang Lin?

With a heart full of unease, He Yushui arrived at the backyard. She stood in front of the gate and looked at Wang Lin's tightly closed door. Although she didn't know what Wang Lin was doing, she was sure he wasn't thinking about her.

"We're just friends now! Yes, friends see each other as friends, and that's a perfectly valid reason."

After hesitating for a long time, He Yushui found a suitable reason to convince herself.

Just as He Yushui walked to the door of Wang Lin's house and was about to knock on the door.

The deaf old woman across the hall opened her door, looked at He Yushui, and said, "Stop knocking, she's gone out."

He Yushui turned around and saw the deaf old woman. She walked towards the old woman and asked, "Isn't Wang Lin home?"

The deaf old woman glanced towards the back door and said, "That boy from the Wang family took his two younger sisters out, and they haven't come back yet."

He Yushui was somewhat disappointed. She had finally mustered up the courage to come find Wang Lin, but he wasn't home.

The deaf old woman, leaning on her cane, asked He Yushui, "Is my dear grandson home?"

He Yushui replied, "My brother is home from get off work and he's inside."

After receiving confirmation that Sha Zhu was at home, the deaf old woman leaned on her cane and headed to the front yard to see her beloved grandson.

He Yushui waited at Wang Lin's door for a while, but Wang Lin did not return for a long time, so He Yushui had to go back first.

At this moment, Wang Lin was shopping with his two younger sisters and Chen Amao.

Too lazy to cook dinner, I decided to take the two little monsters out to eat, to improve their diet and try something different.

This was Chen Amao's first time visiting a bustling street, and he looked around curiously.

Tired from walking around, Wang Lin picked up the two mythical beasts and prepared to go home.

By the time we got back to the courtyard house, it was already quite late, around 10 p.m.

Chen Amao carried the meat buns that Wang Lin had bought while shopping as his reward for the day.

After Wang Lin had helped the two mythical beasts lie down, he sat on the sofa, made himself a cup of tea, and enjoyed it.

"Master, sign in." Wang Lin muttered to himself.

【叮咚！恭喜宿主签到成功！获得百毒不侵之体、凤凰牌自行车X1、收音机X1、对讲机X1、芬达饮料10箱、干锅底料X10箱。】

Wang Lin felt the sign-in reward was alright; he got an extra bicycle, so he could ride it to work tomorrow instead of walking.

"Extracting the body that is immune to all poisons."

Wang Lin felt a warm current flowing through his body, improving his condition. After three minutes, he was able to ignore the poison and would no longer be afraid of being poisoned.

"Retrieve the radio."

As the words fell, a brand-new, old-fashioned radio, befitting its age, appeared on the table.

Wang Lin wasn't interested in the radio and casually tossed it on the table as a decoration.

If the neighbors in the compound knew that Wang Lin had a radio but didn't listen to it and just used it as decoration, they would probably be furious. Comparing people can really make you angry.

I'll retrieve the bicycle before I leave tomorrow morning; for now, I'll just leave it safely in the system's warehouse.

Walkie-talkies, these things don't seem to be of much use these days.

Fanta, an orange-flavored carbonated drink, is Wang Lin's favorite flavor; he'll keep it for himself.

Ten boxes of dry pot base, enough for my family to eat quite a lot.

Today's sign-in reward wasn't particularly generous, but it wasn't stingy either. At least it gave me an immune system, significantly enhancing my self-protection.

After locking the door and drawing the curtains, Wang Lin returned to his room, unlocked the door with his fingerprint, and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Wang Lin was woken up by his eight o'clock alarm clock. After opening his eyes, he got up, washed up, changed his clothes, made breakfast for the two mythical beasts, and went to work at the factory after Chen Amao arrived.

In the morning, I would first clock in at the factory, and then leave to scout out and gather information in the nearby villages.

"Retrieve the bicycle."

After leaving through the back door, Wang Lin locked the door, retrieved the bicycle, and quickly rode it away from the alley.

Although not many people ride bicycles to work in the morning, there are still quite a few.

There was only one road leading to the Third Steel Rolling Mill. Wang Lin went to work late, so he would naturally run into his beastly neighbors from the same mill, such as He Yuzhu, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong.

When Wang Lin rode his brand-new bicycle past them, they all wondered if they were seeing things. When did Wang Lin get a bicycle?

Bicycles are different from other things; you need a bicycle ticket to buy one, and even if you have a ticket, you're not guaranteed to be able to buy a bicycle. Supply and marketing cooperatives don't always have bicycles for sale; they're usually reserved.

Wang Lin leisurely rode his bicycle toward the Third Steel Rolling Mill, and along the way, many young women and girls stared at his back in a daze.

Qin Huairu was envious. Wang Lin was now riding a bicycle, which was the first brand-new bicycle in their yard.

Uncle Yan Bugui's bicycle was secondhand; he saved up money to use it for commuting to and from get off work. He wouldn't lend it to anyone but himself, and he would ride it fishing during his breaks.

Every time someone from Yan Bugui's family wanted to borrow his bicycle, he would defuse the situation and end up using it himself. No wonder he's a teacher; he's quite skilled at scheming.

He Yuzhu followed Qin Huairu's gaze and waved his hand in front of her, saying, "Oh my, sister, it's just a bicycle, is it really that big of a deal?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at He Yuzhu and said irritably, "That's a brand new Phoenix brand bicycle."

"A bicycle? It's not like anyone can't afford one." He Yuzhu scoffed. He could buy a bicycle now, but that was his wife's savings, which he wouldn't touch easily. If his third uncle introduced Ran Yeqiu to someone, he would definitely take out his savings to buy Ran Yeqiu a new bicycle.

"If you can afford it, why don't you buy it?" Qin Huairu rolled her eyes again, giving the idiot a piece of her mind.

"Sister Qin, is there any news about Qin Jingru?" He Yuzhu felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought of Qin Jingru.

"Don't mention her, she's an ingrate!" Qin Huairu gritted her teeth in hatred. If Qin Jingru hadn't suddenly disappeared, she wouldn't have been in such a passive position, causing her to suffer another great loss at Wang Lin's hands.

Although Qin Huairu was unlikely to repay the IOU, she was genuinely afraid that Wang Lin might use it to make trouble, and that he might break her down again.

He Yuzhu realized he had asked the wrong question again, so he gently slapped his face and apologized, saying, "Look at my mouth, I was really asking for trouble."

Qin Huairu gave He Yuzhu a flirtatious look and said, swaying her hips, "Hurry up, or we'll be late."

He Yuzhu responded and followed Qin Huairu, chatting and laughing.

The other factory workers were used to seeing Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu like this; it would be strange if the two of them weren't together.

Walking down the street, He Yuzhu made up his mind that he would find a way to get a bicycle ticket and buy a bicycle to commute to get off work, so that he could carry Qin Huairu every day. Just thinking about it made him feel wonderful.

There's a designated area in the factory for parking bicycles.

Wang Lin stopped his bicycle at the parking shed and happened to run into Xu Damao.

When Xu Damao saw Wang Lin arrive at the factory on a brand-new Phoenix bicycle, he went up to him and flattered him, saying, "Wow! Wang Lin, you're riding a new bicycle now. Did your friend give it to you?"

Wang Lin nodded, using the fabricated friend as a shield, and said with an air of superiority, "They were worried that my commute was too long, so they specially bought me a bicycle. If a motorcycle weren't so high-profile, they probably would have arranged one for me long ago."

Xu Damao was envious. He thought how wonderful it would be if he had a friend like that; so many people would envy him.

Good heavens! Wang Lin really dares to speak his mind.

motorcycle!

If bicycles are a cool sight on the streets, then motorcycles are no less impressive than sports cars that rock the streets in later generations.

As long as Wang Lin simply stops his motorcycle at an intersection, he's guaranteed to be surrounded by young women.

After locking the bicycle, Xu Damao followed Wang Lin all the way. However, when they parted, Xu Damao asked in surprise, "Wang Lin, the fitter is in the workshop. Where are you going? It's the purchasing department."

Wang Lin turned to Xu Damao and said, "I didn't go to the wrong place. I've transferred to the purchasing department. Fitter? I'll never be a fitter in my life."

Good heavens! He was transferred to the purchasing department right after reporting for duty. Xu Damao was so envious. Could he be another friend of Wang Lin?

Despite his envy, Xu Damao still felt that his job in the projection department was pretty good. Not only was the work easy, but he could also travel to various villages, making it very convenient to flirt with widows. Every time he returned from the countryside, he would bring back a bunch of agricultural products, which made him very happy.

The projection department is definitely one of the most sought-after employee positions; even if you offered Xu Damao, the purchasing agent, you wouldn't want to replace him.

Chapter 61 Are these eggs laid by miniature chickens?

Wang Lin arrived at the purchasing department, where Liu Zhengdao had already brewed tea and was reading the newspaper.

Sensing someone's arrival, Liu Zhengdao looked up and, upon seeing Wang Lin, said with a smile, "Wang Lin, why are you here so early today?"

Wang Lin approached Liu Zhengdao, took out his own cigarette and handed one to Liu Zhengdao, saying, "I came to the factory first before going out to get supplies."

Upon seeing that Wang Lin had handed him a Zhonghua cigarette with a filter, Liu Zhengdao immediately put down his newspaper and accepted the cigarette with both hands. He carefully examined the cigarette and said, "Zhonghua! This is a luxury cigarette. Even high-ranking officials may not be able to afford it. It is only sold in state-run stores."

Wang Lin casually handed the remaining Zhonghua cigarettes to Liu Zhengdao, saying generously, "It's just a pack of cigarettes. Take it if you like. I have several more cartons."

Several!

Do you own a state-run store?

Liu Zhengdao's lips twitched. He would be eager to smoke a single Zhonghua cigarette in front of others, and he would be reluctant to share a pack with others. But now that he had several cartons, he was so extravagant. He would not only offer one cigarette to people, but also forcefully stuff the rest of the pack into their hands.

Wang Lin's arrogant behavior truly shocked Liu Zhengdao. He looked Wang Lin up and down and asked cautiously, "You wouldn't happen to be the illegitimate son of some leading cadre, would you?"
