Chapter 140: Dilapidated Small Courtyard, Sight

Although Gu Si brought back a lot of things on this trip, he was just there to scout the places. He had never been to many places, so he had to keep going out.

Lingxi had a handful of tickets in her hand, all of which were stuffed into her hands in the ward that day.

Many of them are local non-staple food supplies in Kyoto, which cannot be exchanged anywhere else. There are also welfare tickets from various units, which you cannot finish even if you exchange them and take them back.

For example, a welfare ticket for a kind of snack contains ten kilograms.

What does that mean!

If you take this ticket to the supply and marketing cooperative, you can exchange it for ten kilograms of snacks.

Moreover, if you cannot finish so much at one time, you can get it in batches of one or two kilograms at a time, and then go back whenever you want to eat.

Pei Yanning also had some similar tickets on hand.

They all have expiration dates and geographical restrictions, so they all need to be dealt with before you leave.

Except for some that Pei Yanning took to exchange with others, the rest of the useful things were all given to Gu Si.

Let him buy it and bring it back.

There are more and more things stored at home.

Pei Yanning has been quite relaxed recently.

His transfer order came suddenly, and no new person was assigned to replace him for a while.

He was only asked to hand over everything he had to the deputy captain, Lao Hei.

Lao Hei has always been Pei Yanning's deputy. He can do many things without Pei Yanning telling him. The information and documents are all in the office. He lets Lao Hei go and look at them himself and come to him if he doesn't understand something.

That day, Lingxi was taken to a small courtyard by Pei Yanning.

This place is only a few minutes away from where Pei Yanning used to work.

It was a very inconspicuous small courtyard house. Because no one had lived there for a long time, the weeds in the garden in the yard had grown so fast that they had covered the flowers and trees that were probably there or not.

The building seems to be made of good materials and doesn't look dilapidated.

Pei Yanning saw Lingxi looking around, his delicate features were gentle and smiling: "Your household registration is registered here. Dad bought it when he just came back. At that time, I thought that if I could bring you here, I would have a place to stay."

"Really!"

Lingxi was a little happy, but her eyes felt a little sore and she felt like crying.

Pei Yanning put his arm around Lingxi's shoulders, worried that she might not walk carefully, so he took her into the house and told her the situation in detail.

"This yard is not big. When I bought it, I didn't want it to be too eye-catching, and also because it's close to that place...

There are people working there or their families around here, so safety is guaranteed." Although he often goes on missions, there are times when he doesn't need to go on missions, and he was thinking about whether he could bring Lingxi over to live with him for a while.

But before he could clean up the yard, he went on a mission to the mountains near his hometown.

Since I left, this place has never been cleaned up.

Pei Yanning originally didn't plan to bring Lingxi here, but when Gu Si was chatting with him, he said that Lingxi was quite dependent on him, and even made her cry because she dreamed that he didn't want her.

Pei Yanning felt amused but also heartbroken.

After thinking it over, he still felt it necessary to bring her over.

Pei Yanning saw that Lingxi's eyes were already full of tears, and coaxed her: "Don't cry, Dad promised you that as long as conditions permit, he will take you to his side as soon as possible."

He took a handkerchief and wiped Lingxi's tears, feeling so distressed.

"Dad was wrong before. Dad sent you back. It scared you, didn't it?"

Because Lingxi has no mother, he has given Lingxi enough sense of security since she was young.

Normally, she wouldn't think that way.

Lingxi couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

It was as if all the fear and anxiety she had felt back then came back to her in an instant. She had been living with Pei Yanning since she was a child, and she had never met her second uncle and grandmother. Pei Yanning sent her back...

Grandma is very nice, and my second uncle is very nice.

But her first reaction was that her father would not want her, so what about others?

Lingxi's tears fell, and for the first time she spoke without hesitation about her feelings at that time.

It was just that she hid it. At that time, she was actually still suffering from the double pain of severe damage to her soul and her companion tree.

"It's Dad's fault. Dad is wrong."

Pei Yanning's eyes turned red. The situation back then...

He himself didn't know where his future would go, and he couldn't take Lingxi with him to go through this knowing it was a dead end.

But making Lingxi uneasy and sad was indeed a poor performance on his part as a father.

Pei Yanning patted her back gently: "Don't cry, your eyes will feel uncomfortable if you cry for a long time. Be obedient, otherwise when we go back, your fourth brother sees it and wants to settle the score with me. What should I do?"

Lingxi: “…”

!!!

"You are the elder, what can he do to you?"

There was still some sobbing in her voice, but the grievance was washed away.

Pei Yanning laughed: "Who told you to find a son-in-law for dad that's different from normal people! What son-in-law from a good family would always argue with his father-in-law?"

Lingxi: “…”

Which good family?
"Your son-in-law is like this."

Pei Yanning was choked instantly.

Lingxi was really amused this time.

When Pei Yanning saw Lingxi smile, he couldn't remember that he had just been scolded.

The father and daughter looked at each other and laughed together.

Pei Yanning brought Lingxi here not only to look at houses, but also to order a cake for her. He asked Gu Si to bring it back two days ago. Lingxi enjoyed the cake very much, but Pei Xuan was around, so she never took it back after taking it out. It was a big cake that was shared by everyone, so Lingxi didn't eat much.

This time he ordered two, took one out to eat, and asked Lingxi to put the remaining one away.

Not long after Pei Yanning talked to Lingxi, someone from the cake shop came and Pei Yanning went over to sign for it.

Lingxi was keenly aware of a prying gaze. She couldn't help but turn her eyes away, but found nothing.

She was about to walk over there when she heard Pei Yanning's voice from behind her.

"Baby, now that we have got the stuff, let's go back!"

Lingxi had only taken two steps when the feeling of being spied on came back. She turned around suddenly, but found nothing.

Pei Yanning put the cake he was carrying on the car, took out two bags of pastries and stuffed them into his pocket, then stood up and asked Lingxi.

"what happened?"

"Nothing, I just felt like someone was staring at me." It was very strange.

Pei Yanning raised his eyebrows slightly: "Wait for me in the car, I'll go take a look, don't be afraid."

Lingxi: “…”

Pei Yanning watched Lingxi get into the car and close the door before entering the yard.

He did not check anything, but opened the locked door of the room without looking around, then went in, took out the two bags of pastries he had packed earlier, and put the change and some food coupons on the table, then turned around and walked out.

The dilapidated courtyard was locked again.

A little child in tattered clothes emerged from the dense grass in the garden.
