Chapter 400 This bastard, could he have tampered with Wu Qingfeng as well?
Given Xiaotongzi's history of using tricks, Lin Chang'er waved her hand, indicating that she was not interested in the hidden surprise.
But in the middle of the night, she suddenly woke up with a start, because in her dream she saw the man who had once given her a handkerchief, Albert Wu, and he had a face that looked exactly like Wu Qingfeng's...
Lin Chang'er covered her forehead. In reality, it wasn't that long ago, but it had crossed time and space, and was already a lifetime ago.
That year's Lunar New Year's Eve was very cold, and she had just experienced a medical dispute, during which her teacher died.
Her hand also suffered nerve damage in that incident, making her unable to undergo delicate surgery again.
That day, after seeing her teacher off, perhaps because she was confused, or perhaps because she was sad, she went to find her father.
When she arrived at the research institute, she was somewhat lost; she didn't even know the meaning of her coming to find her father.
As far as I can remember, they haven't seen each other for several years. Perhaps they just long for a word of comfort or a word of encouragement.
Unfortunately, she met her father, but before she could explain her situation, he was called away by his students. To make matters worse, she was bumped into on her way there and her glasses were broken.
She stood alone outside the research institute for a long time, and for a moment, it felt as if the whole world had lost its color.
She had never been so devastated in her entire life.
She crouched in the corner and wept uncontrollably. A car drove by, then turned back, and a tall man handed her a handkerchief, asking what kind of help she needed.
She wasn't used to confiding in others, and because she was so upset, she completely forgot why she had come here.
There were men on the bus urging her on, but she didn't hear what they were saying. She only knew that the bus eventually left, but the men were still there.
He squatted in front of her and cried with her for a long time.
As he was leaving, he asked her, "Are you Engineer Lin's daughter?"
She nodded, because she was certain she wouldn't come again and didn't think they would have another chance to meet, so she didn't ask about his identity.
Because of her severe nearsightedness, without her glasses, and with her eyes blurred by tears, she couldn't see the man's face clearly at all.
However, one day later, when she decided to move out of her parents' house, she went to say goodbye to Professor Wu and seemed to have seen the back of a man with a similar build in his house.
Throughout her childhood, she actually had more memories of Professor Wu than of her parents.
But she was in a bad state at the time and was afraid that if she talked to him for too long, she would waver in her determination to leave.
So he simply said hello and left in a hurry.
Even after the car had driven quite a distance, she could still see in the rearview mirror a young man supporting Professor Wu as they stood at the door watching her leave.
Lin Chang'er took a deep breath. In retrospect, that was one of the few times she had felt warmth from a stranger in her later life, but because of her mindset at the time, she hadn't even properly thanked the person.
For some reason, she suddenly felt that Albert Wu might have had her reasons for forcing the old man to step down.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she just couldn't calm her mind.
She knew perfectly well that even though they looked the same, Wu Qingfeng and Albert Wu were two separate individuals, but then she thought of the hidden surprise that the system had mentioned.
It's hard not to connect the two people.
That bastard, could he have tampered with Wu Qingfeng as well?
In the latter half of the night, Lin Chang'er couldn't fall asleep again, so she stared at the mosquito net for half the night until the first light of dawn appeared in the east.
The streets outside gradually began to bustle with activity.
Not long after, Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing came to call her.
Chen Zhao called out, "Sister Chang'er, get up, get up! We went to visit the area last night and heard that there are lots of delicious foods at the morning market under the covered bridge. If you go too late, you won't be able to eat anything."
Lin Chang'er opened her mouth, but didn't feel that sleepy, so she got up as they asked.
On the other side, Wu Qingfeng and Chen Shanzhang had also gotten up.
Perhaps it's because of the change of environment, even the raindrops woke up exceptionally early today.
When Lin Chang'er opened the door and went out, Gu Ersao was already holding Yudian'er in the yard watching the birds.
Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing huddled around her, playing with the raindrops. The tiny baby babbled and talked to the two boys.
Sister-in-law Gu sat by the well, helping Yudian wash her diapers.
Lin Chang'er walked over and said, "Sister-in-law, let me help you."
Sister-in-law Gu waved her hand, "No need, no need, just two pieces. I thought the sun was shining today, so if I washed it this morning, I might be able to change it by tonight. I'll be done here soon. You can play with your second sister-in-law and the others for a while."
"Thank you for your hard work, sister-in-law."
"We're family, what nonsense are you talking about?"
After tidying up the burnt food, Lin Chang'er leaned over and tapped the little child's chin, which made Yu Dian'er even more energetic.
Wu Qingfeng and Chen Shanzhang were talking under the plum blossom tree.
Headmaster Chen said, "You guys are quick on your feet. Did Lin Beishan and his wife agree?"
He then looked at Lin Chang'er, always thinking that this girl was meticulous and thorough in her work. He had assumed she would come to visit him properly, but who would have thought she would sneak into his house at night.
Wu Qingfeng nodded, "Madam Lin has already agreed, and I imagine Lin Beishan will soon follow suit."
Headmaster Chen stroked his beard. "That's not bad. Su County has beautiful scenery, and it's the perfect time for an autumn outing. After we finish our business, we can take some time to go and have a look around."
Wu Qingfeng nodded, lying with ease, "That's exactly what Chang'er thought, so she visited the couple overnight."
Headmaster Chen nodded, thinking to himself, "This girl is indeed very thoughtful."
Lin Chang'er had no idea that Headmaster Chen was thinking that way, and played hide-and-seek with Yudian'er for a while.
Sister-in-law Gu then got up and set up the tripod (three bamboo poles tied together at one end with rope, then spread out at the bottom to form a stable tripod; a long bamboo pole placed on two of the poles makes a simple clothes rack).
Upon seeing this, Lin Chang'er hurriedly stepped forward to help set up another tripod, then placed the clothesline on it, and hung the diapers on it, and everything was done.
As for the small wooden bucket, Chen Zhao and Lin Yanqing had already taken it back to their room early in the morning.
After the two boys came out, the group went out into the street in a lively atmosphere.
The early morning market that Chen Zhao mentioned is located along both ends of the Suhuai River, with a covered bridge connecting the two sides in the middle of the river.
When Lin Chang'er and her group arrived, the banks of the river were already bustling with the aroma of breakfast and people coming and going.
Chen Zhao is a curious child; he wants to eat everything he sees. He wants to try qingtuan (a type of glutinous rice dumpling) and youzhagui (a type of fried dough stick).
We also ordered a serving of vegetable porridge, not to mention rolled pancakes. We ate our way through the journey.
Lin Chang'er and the other adults still wanted to find a place to sit down, after all, Gu Ersao was still carrying Yudian!
After the group crossed the covered bridge, they found a breakfast stall and sat down. Chen Zhao insisted on pulling Lin Yanqing back to buy rolled pancakes.
The two had just returned to the other side of the covered bridge when they suddenly started arguing with someone...
