Chapter 2140 There is no love without a reason in this world
Evening
When the workers returned from get off work, Liu Haizhong and the others went to check on the situation at No. 72 courtyard.
Since they were pressed for time in the morning and didn't have time to inquire carefully, Liu Haizhong and the others are now curious about what's going on. More than a dozen households moving out at the same time means this courtyard is of great use!
The people in the courtyard aren't fools; on the contrary, they're all shrewd and calculating.
Lin Chen, who also rushed back, saw this scene. Xiang Nanfang immediately became alert when he saw many people running to the opposite courtyard to join in the fun.
She rushed to the Lin family's house in the backyard to discuss a plan. It was alright for Liu Haizhong and the others to be curious now. But once Sister Wen and Xue Ru moved in, they couldn't let these people visit anymore…
"Brother Lin Chen, will these people cause trouble in the future? Sister Wen and the others haven't even moved in yet, and these people are already so curious. What if they continue like this in the future..."
If this had happened two years ago, Lin Chen definitely wouldn't have let his wife move into the courtyard across the street, but now it's no big deal.
Seeing Xiang Nanfang's nervousness, Lin Chen smiled slightly and comforted him.
"They're just saying goodbye to their old neighbors. You can rest assured, nothing will happen."
Lin Chen was just trying to comfort Xiang Nanfang on purpose; he had already thought of a plan just in case.
Currently, only the long-time residents and Old Song from No. 72 courtyard are familiar with the courtyard. Others, such as Nan Yi and Fan Jinyou, have no connection with Old Song.
To ensure everything goes smoothly, Lin Chen plans to give everyone a "free medical consultation" before the banquet begins tomorrow night, while everyone is still present.
Just alter everyone's memories and the problem will be solved... Then they won't care who lives in the courtyard across the street.
One is "transplanting flowers and grafting trees," the other is "shifting stars and changing constellations"—don't be fooled by their fancy names. But for Lin Chen, they have a powerful, lasting effect... Once something is etched into the subconscious, it can never be forgotten.
"Alright then! As long as you're confident, that's fine. These people are the most troublesome. Just don't let them find out anything, or it'll be a real problem."
Xiang Nanfang was already thinking to himself that his position as deputy district head was no longer enough to protect the Lin family. He had to strive to become the full district head…
"Brother Lin Chen, when can I become the district head? After all, most of us sisters' activities are limited to the East District..."
Xiang Nanfang was not obsessed with officialdom, so she began to analyze, point by point, the benefits that becoming the district head or district secretary would bring to the Lin family.
Looking at his capable wife, Lin Chen took her small, tender hand in his.
"Next year! I'll write you a report, you sign it and submit it, and I guarantee you'll get promoted."
Lin Chen knew about the major events that would occur in 1957, so if Xiang Nanfang were to raise the slogan, it would be exactly what the higher-ups wanted…
"What report?"
Lin Chen, feigning mystery, pulled Xiang Nanfang closer and whispered something to her.
Xiang Nanfang stared at his brother Lin Chen in disbelief: "Wouldn't it have been better if you had brought this up yourself?"
"Our contributions are equal; it's just a report. The final decision still requires approval from above... We're just bringing it up."
Xiang Nanfang truly loves the man in front of her; he's been incredibly good to her!

The Wang family next door
Wang Mazi wasn't familiar with the neighbors across the street, so after get off work, the old man would go home early to help his wife fetch water and cook.
Zhang Huahua is now heavily pregnant and has difficulty moving around. Wang Mazi is overjoyed to have a child late in life and absolutely adores him. He can't bear to see his wife do any heavy work...
Zhang Huahua was in charge of adding firewood to the stove, while Wang Mazi was in charge of cooking.
"Huahua, Lao Liu and the others are discussing how to congratulate the Lin family today. Shouldn't we lend a hand...?"
When the steward discussed this matter, Wang Mazi naturally participated. Now that Xu Quede had been currying favor with him, the others couldn't fall behind.
However, there are certain rules to follow when giving gifts, and the Lin family has made it clear that they will not set up a gift table. This means no one will be keeping a list of gifts…
Now Wang Mazi has been able to get a sinecure, and his family can settle down in Beijing... all thanks to Lin Chen's words.
“Who would complain about money? Just tell Liu Haizhong and the others that if we don’t set up a gift table, then according to custom, the women should give the children a gift! Anyway, we have to give one, otherwise Xiuzhi will lose face in front of Qin Huairu.”
Zhang Huahua is now considered part of Li Xiuzhi's family, and Li Xiuzhi often visits her cousin. So regardless of whether the Lin family accepts gifts or not, the Wang family will definitely have to give something in return.
When Wang Mazi heard his wife mention the gift for meeting her, he suddenly realized what was going on.
"A gift for meeting? Yes! I think that's a good idea. A baby's full moon celebration isn't something you can just casually look at. We should at least show some courtesy on our first meeting... And if we don't have a gift list, even if someone wants to report us, they won't have any evidence."
Wang Mazi's ability to have a son late in life is entirely thanks to the Lin family. Now, like Guo Da Piezi, he's the Lin family's most loyal lackey. He's currently busy figuring out how to legitimately enjoy the Lin family's banquets without doing so for free.
Having come up with the idea, Wang Mazi planned to discuss it with the senior managers the next day...
Sunday morning
Baifuquan Farm
Dai Yuling lent He Xiulian the new clothes and shoes she had prepared in advance last night; they were made specifically for her body proportions. The little girl found them to fit perfectly after trying them on…
At the farm gate, the educated youth drove tractors, filling two large truckloads with people...
Li Xiangqian is now a tractor driver and no longer has to squeeze into the carriage with others.
He Xiulian, who had already dressed up, was now worried again. The young girl frowned as she looked at the two cars full of people.
Currently, only these two tractors on the farm have trailers, and He Xiulian didn't expect so many people to come to the city.
"With so many people like Sister Yuling coming to the city, it seems we can't squeeze in! What should we do?"
He Xiulian had been eagerly anticipating the day, and finally, Sunday arrived, the day she was to go to the city for the gathering. But after changing her clothes and leaving the house, there were no seats available. What was she to do?
"Shh, I'm sure I can get you into town. We're not going to squeeze in with them... You wait here, I'll go borrow a bicycle from Director Xie. Don't worry, I can ride one!"
Despite He Xiulian's brisk walking, she genuinely can't ride a bicycle. The main reason is that her family doesn't own one; they used to travel by oxcart or donkey cart. The little girl simply doesn't know how to ride a bicycle…
"That's great! Thank you, Sister Yuling! You already lent me clothes, and now you're helping me borrow a bicycle. I'll definitely bring you something delicious to eat when I get back to repay you..."
Dai Yuling leaned close to the other person's ear and said with a wicked smile, "After you get on good terms with Secretary Lin, just don't forget to transfer me a job. I'm not helping you for nothing."
It was Dai Yuling's purposeful help that made everything seem so natural.
There is no such thing as love without a reason in this world... He Xiulian is not a fool.
He Xiulian blushed immediately upon hearing that she had gotten involved with Secretary Lin.
"I...I'll try my best! But please don't be angry if I can't get on board."
The two girls' "getting along" wasn't just a simple acquaintance; every night after closing the door, they talked about things that led to them getting into bed.
