Chapter 60 What? He is my uncle?!
Gu Si was watching the whole scene from a distance, taking in all the subtle expressions on the young lady's face. He knew that Zhao Jianan had won the bet.

After this incident, not only could the young lady of the Jin family not do anything to Zhao Jianan, she also had to protect him. Otherwise, if something happened to Zhao Jianan for no apparent reason, everyone would associate it with her.

Most importantly, Zhao Jianan will soon get what he has always dreamed of.

as predicted--

The young lady from the Jin family turned her eyes to Zhao Jianan. At this time, Zhao Jianan's left arm was simply bandaged by the village barefoot doctor and hung around his neck.

Her eyes showed some appreciation at the right time.

"Besides thanking you, there is one more important thing.

I heard about your situation, Comrade Zhao Jianan, from my nephews and nieces. You are a top student who graduated from the country's top university. It is a waste of your talents and resources for you to stay in the village.

Our country needs talents like you. You should make contributions to our country and shine in your posts. As for those restrictions...special cases should be treated specially, and it is okay to relax them appropriately!"

Zhao Jianan maintained an appearance of being frightened and not yet in his trance throughout the whole time, staring in astonishment at the admission notice from the machinery factory given to him by Jin Yuan's aunt. He was in a daze, and when he heard what Jin's aunt said, he was slow to show a surprised expression, as if he was knocked unconscious by a pie in the sky.

Seeing him being so timid and irresponsible yet unable to hide his thoughts, the young lady of the Jin family felt relieved and spoke in a more intimate tone: "Look, the comrades from the machinery factory heard that I was coming to thank you, so they asked me to help deliver this notice."

With just a few words, she immediately dispelled the villagers' suspicions.

Where is this stack of money?
There is another job!
Judging from her demeanor, she seems like a decent person!

Is there really some misunderstanding?
Besides, he has no grudge against Zhao Jianan, so there's no need to bother with him, right?

Maybe it’s just a coincidence!

Seeing that everyone present believed in her words, Jin Qingyao smiled gently and became more calm.

Jin Yuan's younger aunt is Jin Qingyao. She has devoted herself to the revolution since her student days. It has been nearly twenty years since then, and she has gone through ups and downs. When she was lurking, she could deal with any cunning enemy with ease. Now this is just a small scene.

As long as she insisted, she had originally come only to thank the comrades who had taken care of her niece, and by the way, she couldn't bear to see a talented person buried in the countryside, so she rushed here overnight!

Not to mention——

So far, she has indeed done nothing.

The news that someone in Gujia Village was locked in his home and almost burned to death spread quickly.

When Lingxi found out about this, she was making candy at home.

Gu Si gave it a try last time and the candies he made tasted very good. As their wedding date was approaching, they thought that the fruit hard candies sold in the supply and marketing cooperative were not tasty, and White Rabbit milk candies were generally hard to buy.

So, the two of them decided to make it themselves. If they made more, they could not only use it as wedding candy, but also eat it at home.

Lingxi heard Second Aunt and Grandma gossiping while she was cutting candy.

Lingxi was stunned when she heard this.

Could it be that someone did it?
When Zhao Jianan was herding sheep earlier, he asked if it was the young lady from the Jin family who recognized him. Could it be that she was trying to silence him?
Gu Si: “…”

He had not told Lingxi before because he was worried about scaring her, but he forgot that the area around here was only the size of a palm, and if anything happened, it would spread everywhere in no time.

Seeing Lingxi's expression, he finally lowered his voice and told the story.

Lingxi was even more shocked after hearing this!

She silently gave her fourth brother a thumbs up.

Her fourth brother and Zhao Jianan are both capable people! They came to her house, maybe they really have some bad intentions!

But no matter whether it existed or not, they both treated it as if it existed, and forced the other party to put away their previous bad thoughts. They also had to present the work to Zhao Jianan in a friendly manner, so that others would believe that she was really doing this for Zhao Jianan's good.

It’s just that!

Gu Si touched his nose. This matter really had nothing to do with him.

The most he did was help Zhao Jianan lock the door, but he did everything else by himself.

But Zhao Jianan had been feeling depressed for the past ten years, so he seemed to understand why he wanted to go crazy when he got the chance.

Lingxi was a little curious: "Given Zhao Jianan's condition, can he go to work?"

She actually didn't know much about it, but she guessed it was quite difficult.

Gu Si nodded.

"Normally, no, but in special circumstances, the limit can be relaxed appropriately."

Zhao Jianan actually met the recruitment requirements, but he had never met anyone who appreciated him and was willing to give him a hand, so he could only stay in the village, and for Jin Qingyao, all this was just a matter of words.

Zhao Jianan's stone house was burned down, and he had nowhere to go. However, with the help of Jin Yuan's aunt, a senior official, he was temporarily placed in the large courtyard of his father's former landlord home, which was rented by Jin Yuan before.

It just so happened that I had rented the house to Jin Yuan a few days ago, so the house is still quite lively now and there is no need to clean it up.

When Lingxi came with Gu Si to visit Zhao Jianan, he was holding the admission notice from the machinery factory that could change his life. He was leaning against the wall on the kang with his arm hanging, staring out the window in a daze.

When he saw that the people coming were Lingxi and Gu Si, he smiled brightly, picked up the water cup beside him, and toasted Gu Si from a distance. However, because Lingxi was there, he did not mention the previous incident, but just smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

He was not surprised that Gu Si came to his place, but he was surprised that Gu Si was willing to bring his wife over.

"See if you're dead."

Gu Si threw a bottle of medicine to him, so Zhao Jianan didn't need to be burned.

Little did he know that in order to dispel the suspicion of the young lady from the Jin family, he actually took ruthless action against himself.

Zhao Jianan hurriedly took the medicine bottle, smiling brightly without any trace of gloom.

He has been in the village for ten years.

How many more decades of youth does he have?
This might be his only chance in his life, he took a crazy gamble and now he has seized the opportunity. As for his arm...it's injured, so what even if it leaves a scar!

"Thanks, it's okay, I'm paying attention!"

He toasted Gu Si again, and everything was said without words.
-
Lingxi's wedding date was approaching, and all the furniture that Uncle Pei had made for Lingxi was moved into the new house. The clothes, bedding, shoes and socks made by the family were all packed up, from small things like combs and hairbands to large things like basins and bathtubs. Lingxi finally felt like she was getting married.

She was counting the days. Her uncle hadn't shown any intention of writing back to her for such a long time. When Lingxi was struggling over whether to write another letter, she was stunned by the news that Gu Si told her.

"What? He's my uncle?!"

Lingxi widened her eyes in disbelief.

She tried hard to recall the two times she met her uncle. The second time was okay, but the first time, she completely charmed him!
One pill of the drug wasn't enough, so two more were given later!
ah ah ah...

Her whole body was not well.
