"Brother Xu! Can you take me to the city? I need to find my big brother with my dad."

The person who came was Brother Xu, who now works the day shift.

After speaking, he said to the puzzled Yang Guangzhi, "Dad, I've taken Brother Xu's car to the city before, and I know him."

Brother Xu saw him and smiled in agreement, "Sure, get in. I'm heading there anyway."

Yang Xiaole greeted him and got into the car.

"Comrade, thank you!"

Yang Guangzhi stood by the car window and greeted Brother Xu.

"Hey, fellow villager, no need to be polite! Let's go!"

After speaking, he started the car and drove away.

After driving for a while, Yang Xiaole took out a cigarette and handed it to him, "Brother Xu, thanks! Have a smoke."

"Hey, what are you doing, little rooster? Are you selling sugar-coated bullets? You can keep the sugar coating, but I'll return the bullets to you!"

He took the cigarette with a smile and lit it with one hand.

Yang Xiaole smiled. The old man's words could be used anywhere.

Suddenly, he smelled the scent of cured meat in the air and said, "Is that cured meat?"

"Hey, you've got a sharp nose!"

Brother Xu smiled and continued driving without paying much attention.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole made a meaningful comment, "Brother Xu, did you get this cured meat from the villagers in the mountains? It should be wild game, as few households would be slaughtering pigs in this weather!"

Brother Xu glanced at him meaningfully, but just made a light sound of agreement.

No more words were spoken.

Unspoken rules are unspoken rules and cannot be brought to the surface.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party's truck and thought that it might come in handy in the future!

After all, he would have to push his bicycle to transport so many things.

But he didn't engage in further communication, as the level of trust was still too low.

Today, Dad was with him, otherwise he could have brought out some things and piqued the other party's interest. Familiarity breeds trust!

The road was crowded, and it took two hours to reach Fucheng Gate.

After saying goodbye, he got out of the car.

He walked a distance and then discreetly released the bike, riding it to Hua Yourong's house.

But as he walked, he frowned.

He didn't know if Su Ling had gone to the countryside for a performance, and if she had, it would be troublesome.

He didn't know if Old Man Su would be willing to help with this favor.

When he arrived, the door was tightly locked.

Just as he was about to leave, he happened to see Su Ling bringing Hua Yourong from a distance in the lane.

Seeing this scene, he felt a wave of joy.

She didn't go to the countryside.

That's great.

"Xiaole!"

As Hua Yourong approached, she immediately called out to him.

Seeing him coming, Su Ling smiled and asked, "Xiaole, why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in school today?"

As she spoke, she opened the door.

"Come in!"

Yang Xiaole pushed the bike and followed her in. "Auntie, you didn't go to the countryside?"

Upon hearing this, Su Ling sighed, "I did! I went for three days and just got back this afternoon. I just went to pick up Yourong from Aiqin's place!"

"Oh, why did you go again? Is Director Hao okay?"

Yang Xiaole was still disappointed.

Su Ling shook her head, "He's in trouble. This list was set before his trouble, and it can't be changed. I can only go down for a while."

"Xiaole, I'll make you some coffee!"

Hua Yourong put down her backpack and happily went to make coffee.

Yang Xiaole watched her go and thanked her, then turned to Su Ling and said, "Auntie, can you help me with something?"

"No problem, just tell me! If I can help, I will definitely help you!"

Su Ling said with a smile as the electric fan blew towards him.

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaole explained the situation and his thoughts.

After listening to him, Su Ling was surprised. "You've made so much money? You want me to tell your parents that the money is borrowed from me, and you'll pay me back monthly, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Is that okay? My dad will be here in a while, and I have to go pick them up."

Looking at his expression, Su Ling smiled and said, "Okay, no problem. I'll tell your dad when he comes, and when your mom gives me the money, I'll give it to you."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie! I'll leave now and bring my parents over later."

Yang Xiaole stood up and said to Hua Yourong, "Yourong, I'm leaving. I'll come back to drink coffee later!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Hua Yourong looked up and agreed with a smile.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole bid farewell and left.

After everyone left, Su Ling thought for a moment and said to Hua Yourong, "I'm going out to buy some groceries. I'll be back soon."

"Oh, go ahead!"

Hua Yourong glanced at her and quietly made coffee.

Yang Xiaole left Hua's house and finally breathed a sigh of relief.Riding a bike in a hurry towards the hospital, Yang Xiaole saw two figures lingering near the hospital entrance from a distance. He found an empty lane nearby and parked the bike there.

He walked towards the hospital.

"I told you to wait for us at the hospital! You child, always running around!" Wang Qiuju scolded him when she saw him.

Yang Xiaole was speechless for a moment. "Didn't I tell you that I would go to their house first when I arrived, to see if they were home? Alright, let's go!"

"Hey, wait a minute, since we're at the hospital, let me go get some medicine for you! I still have the prescription from last time!" Yang Guangzhi hurriedly took out the prescription.

Yang Xiaole thought to himself, maybe he could get a pound of brown sugar for free!

Since it wasn't time to get off work yet, he decided to go inside and take a look.

Nodding, the three of them entered the hospital.

It was a beautiful thought, but they only got two boxes of ginseng pills, and there was no brown sugar at all.

After everything was settled, it was already past five o'clock, and the three of them headed towards Hua's house.

By the time they arrived, it was already dusk.

In the lane, Yang Guangzhi hesitated and said, "Is it inappropriate to go at this time? It's almost dinner time."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment.

With Su Ling's personality, there was indeed a possibility of this happening!

But since they were already here, they had no choice but to eat first, and they could make it up to her later.

He felt a little embarrassed about the money he had taken from the fish last time.

He could only say to him, "Dad, let's go in first."

As they spoke, they arrived at Hua's house. The gate was wide open, and he went in directly.

Leaving Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju hesitating at the door.

Wang Qiuju looked at Yang Guangzhi with some concern and asked, "What kind of family is this Hua family? Are they capitalists?"

Yang Guangzhi looked at the house and hesitated for a moment.

Yes!

He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he saw it, he realized that just a few years ago, a group of people had been playing poker here!

Old Wu was dealt four kings, and they had four aces, and then they played the monkey king, but he couldn't handle it.

"Yang Big Brother, Yang Big Sister, come in!" Su Ling, wearing an apron, called out from inside and walked out.

Seeing this, Yang Guangzhi didn't have time to think too much and took his wife into the courtyard.

When they arrived at the door, Su Ling probably guessed what the two of them were thinking and said to Yang Guangzhi with a smile, "Yang Big Brother, I owe Xiaole for the last incident, and I didn't have time to thank you in person. Is this your wife?"

Yang Guangzhi put away his dried tobacco pouch and waved his hand, "Don't be so polite, it's only right."

Wang Qiuju smiled awkwardly on the side.

"Alright, let's not be polite. You two go in, I'll close the door."

After speaking, she went to the courtyard and closed the door.

After Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju came in, they looked around the room and felt like they had entered a palace, feeling too uncomfortable to sit down.

"Uncle, Auntie, please sit down! Sit next to Xiaole. I've made some coffee for you to try," Hua Yourong greeted the two of them.

"Alright, alright!" Yang Guangzhi hurriedly agreed and sat down next to Yang Xiaole.

Su Ling tied the door and came in from outside, smiling, "You guys eat first, there's another dish that will be ready soon. Yourong, serve Uncle and Auntie some rice."

After speaking, she went to the kitchen.

Hua Yourong was about to serve the rice, but was stopped by Yang Guangzhi, "Wait a moment, let's eat together. Let me try this, what is this...?"

For a moment, he couldn't remember the name.

"Coffee, Uncle and Auntie, try it. Xiaole likes to drink it. I added a lot of sugar especially for you," Hua Yourong said, blinking and looking at the two of them.

Yang Guangzhi and Wang Qiuju looked at each other, picked up the coffee, and took a sip.

It tasted like burnt rice, but they could endure it, even though it was a waste of such good sugar.

It would have been better to have some sweet soup!

Of course, they wouldn't say that.

Yang Xiaole drank his coffee and smiled as he looked at the two of them. There was no way they could get used to it.

They drank the coffee in one go, without saying a word, and sat there awkwardly, looking around the room.

This was a place where only high-ranking officials could live!

Looking at the dishes on the table, they were really good.

Chicken soup, braised fish, scrambled eggs with wood ear mushrooms, stir-fried eggplant, cold cucumber salad, fried peanuts, a total of six dishes.

All of them were greasy.

Su Ling came in with a plate of stir-fried garlic shoots, which was in season now.

"Don't be polite! Yourong, serve them some rice!"

"Okay!" Hua Yourong responded and went to the kitchen to serve the rice.

In no time, she came in with a small basin of rice.

Su Ling opened a bottle of liquor and placed it in front of Yang Guangzhi, "Big Brother, I don't drink, and Yourong's father isn't here either. You can drink as much as you want, and it's okay if you finish it. Don't be polite, Big Sister, let's eat!"After finishing his words, he poured some tea into the white porcelain cup in front of him.

Wang Qiuju awkwardly stuck out her bottom: "Ah, alright, don't be shy."

Once she finished speaking, she picked up a garlic shoot with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.

Hmm, rich in oil, and the vegetables are tasty too.

Su Ling gave a wry smile and could only look towards Yang Xiaole: "Xiaole, help your parents with some dishes!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole said: "Parents, help yourselves, otherwise it wouldn't be good if auntie gives you too much!"

Hearing this, Yang Guangzhi and his wife glared at him.

But they stopped being polite after that.

They started to pick up the meat to eat.

Hmm, it really is delicious.

Yang Guangzhi took a sip of his drink and then started the conversation: "That... um..."

"Big brother Yang, just call me Su Ling."

"Oh, Su Ling! Xiaole is thoughtless, how did he come up with the idea to borrow money from you?"

Su Ling glanced at Yang Xiaole, who was eating, and said with a smile: "It's not easy to find work in the city these days. Xiaole saw an opportunity, and since you work in the city, I'm not worried about you running off. Don't be shy about it."

Hearing this, Wang Qiuju quickly said: "Um, young lady, my son also works in the city. We will give you money every month and will pay you back as soon as possible."

Su Ling smiled and said nonchalantly: "It's fine, no rush. Let's eat first. Finish the dishes, because if there are leftovers, they'll spoil by tomorrow in this heat."

"Ah, alright!"

The two of them started eating, and since they were guests, they didn't feel right eating everything, worried about leaving their saliva on the food.

They just picked at the salted pork fried with garlic shoots.

They did manage to finish quite a bit of rice.

Only Yang Guangzhi had some peanuts and cucumber with his drink.

Seeing this, Su Ling could only use clean chopsticks to serve them more dishes, and then they ate more comfortably.

Due to the different environments they lived in, they didn't have much in common to talk about.

When asked about her husband, Su Ling was vague, saying he was out of town.

After the meal, Yang Xiaole was called into the inner room.

Su Ling looked outside and asked Yang Xiaole: "Do you need money now? If you do, I can give you some."

"No need, I have money. I'll just say you called me over to get money, and also to talk about delivering fish next time. They worry about me running around outside, so I'll say I'm delivering to you."

Hearing his words, Su Ling nodded gently: "Alright, I understand. If they ask, I'll say that."

Yang Xiaole nodded, thought of something, and asked her: "Auntie, have you been feeling unwell recently?"

At this, Su Ling was quite pleased, "No, I feel much better. I used to have trouble breathing, but it rarely happens now."

Who doesn't want to live a few more years!

"That's good!"

Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to find another way to give her the well water.

Otherwise, it would be hard to explain later.

"Well, auntie, we should get going. We still need to visit Grandpa Hu and see my brother tonight."

"Alright, I won't keep you any longer. Come over when you have time. I may not have much, but there's always enough food to eat."

Yang Xiaole knew she meant well.

He nodded in agreement and then left the house.

Seeing the bewildered Yang Guangzhi and his wife, he laughed and said: "Dad, let's go to Grandpa Hu's place to finalize things, then we'll visit my brother."

The two of them stood up quickly upon hearing this.

To be honest, they always felt uneasy sitting there.

Wang Qiuju stood up and politely said to Su Ling, "Well, young lady, we'll be heading back now! Thank you for your hospitality today."

"Ah, big sister, don't be a stranger. Come over and visit if you don't mind, alright?"

"Ah, sure!"

After exchanging pleasantries, they greeted each other and left the courtyard.

Once outside, Yang Xiaole breathed a sigh of relief. For now, the situation was handled, and he could also find excuses for selling things in small quantities in the future.

What he had said earlier was starting to make sense.

Meanwhile, Wang Qiuju and her husband were filled with countless doubts.
