After leaving, Yang Xiaole walked to the main road and waited quietly for a while, planning to find Old Su to give him the meat.

Tomorrow, he would also rent the house.

After getting the bedding and other things ready, Mom wouldn't have to go around to take care of things.

After walking for a while, he arrived at the coal hauling road, where many people were evacuating towards the direction of the mine.

He waited by the roadside for a long time before finally catching a coal hauling truck to Fucheng Gate.

By the time he returned to the city, it was already close to around nine o'clock in the evening.

Once this matter was settled, Mom would go to work in the city, and then he would wait patiently for the opportunity to enter the city.

By then, he could take a good look at this turbulent era.

If he endured a little, what could others do to him?

He changed into a new set of clothes and rode his bike towards Xidan.

He didn't encounter any familiar faces on the way.

When he arrived, Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment, wondering if he should go to the Hua family and ask if they could take him to the International Friends Service Department tomorrow.

But he felt bad about always bothering them.

He couldn't keep troubling others with saving people, feeling like it was their duty.

But there was no other choice; the only person he could trust a little in the capital was the Hua family.

The others were not reliable.

He decided to go and see. If they were still awake, he would ask; if they were asleep, he would forget it.

When he arrived at the Hua family, he was pleased to see that the lights were on downstairs, but not on the rooftop.

But before he could knock on the door, he heard a low sobbing from inside, which belonged to Su Ling.

This made him furrow his brow.

Had another Director Hao situation occurred? Was she being mistreated inside?

For a moment, Yang Xiaole imagined countless possibilities.

He hurriedly knocked on the courtyard door.

"Aunt Su! Aunt Su!"

He called out several times, and the crying inside stopped, but no one came to open the door.

Had her mouth been covered?

No!

"Bang, bang, bang... Aunt Su."

After calling several times in a row, there was finally some movement inside.

Before long, Su Ling, with red eyes, walked out.

But this time, it wasn't like before when she opened the door wide; she only opened it a crack.

Seeing Yang Xiaole, Su Ling forced a smile. "Xiaole, why are you here? Is it about the Overseas Exchange Coupon?"

Yang Xiaole tried to peek inside.

Then he whispered, "Aunt, is there a bad person inside? If there is, blink your eyes. I'll go to the police station to get help."

Hearing this, Su Ling hesitated for a moment and subconsciously blinked her eyes.

Seeing the correct signal, Yang Xiaole hurriedly said, "Aunt, wait here. I'll be right back. I'll go find Old Su and then go to the police station for help."

After saying that, he was about to run out.

Seeing his actions, Su Ling smiled bitterly. "Hey, wait a minute!"

Yang Xiaole turned back, looking at her with confusion.

Seeing her look of distress, he hurriedly asked, "Aunt, has Yourong been kidnapped? Don't worry, everything will be okay! I heard you crying and knocking on the door for so long, I thought something had happened to you!"

"It's okay, come inside. Her uncle is here."

After speaking, she opened the door.

Yang Xiaole peeked inside and saw Hua Yourong sitting quietly on the sofa in the main hall, with a middle-aged man in a suit sitting next to her.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xiaole awkwardly smiled.

They were having a family moment!

He had just come to cause trouble.

"Aunt, forget it. As long as you're okay, I heard you crying and knocking on the door for so long, I thought something had happened to you!"

"It's okay, come inside! He's leaving soon."

After speaking, she turned and walked inside.

Yang Xiaole hesitated for a moment, then pushed his bike inside and closed the door behind him.

Then he entered the main hall.

The man was probably in his early thirties, with a handsome face and neatly combed hair, giving off a clean and elite vibe.

"Yourong!"

"Xiaole!"

After Yang Xiaole entered and greeted Hua Yourong, he also nodded at the man and smiled.

"Brother, this is Yang Xiaole, the child I mentioned to you today."

Su Ling introduced him to the man, then smiled at Yang Xiaole. "Xiaole, this is Yourong's uncle, who came to see us today."

Su Hao looked at Yang Xiaole and straightened up, thanking him. "Hello. Thank you for saving my niece."

His tone didn't sound like he was talking to a child.

Yang Xiaole smiled and nodded. "Hello!"

Su Hao smiled and stood up, taking out ten yuan and handing it to him. "A token of appreciation."

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole glanced at Su Ling and didn't take the money.

"Thank you, no need."

Seeing his expression, Su Hao didn't mind and placed the money directly on the table, indicating that he had already given it.He then looked at Su Ling; "You think it over, things have been getting tougher in recent years. The Rong family has finally found a way, don't waste it. I have to meet a few people, so I'll leave first."

After speaking, he straightened his clothes and ruffled Hua Yourong's hair, "Sweetie, Uncle is leaving!"

Hua Yourong nodded gently.

Seeing this, Su Hao smiled at Yang Xiaole and left directly.

Watching the other person leave.

Although he didn't say anything to Su Hao, the feeling made Yang Xiaole uncomfortable. What's the meaning of putting money directly on the table?

Su Ling and Hua Yourong followed to see the person off.

In no time, the two returned.

"Xiaole! What brings you here? Here, I haven't finished brewing the coffee yet! Uncle just left. Have some."

Hua Yourong came in and handed him the freshly brewed coffee.

Yang Xiaole had just seen Hua Yourong brewing coffee, but he still shook his head, "I'd better not, I won't be able to sleep if I drink it at night."

Su Ling looked at him, wiped the corner of her eye, and smiled at him, "Sit down! Are you here about the overseas exchange coupons? I have some, I'll give you some later."

"No need, Auntie. I just wanted to ask if you have time tomorrow. If you do, can you take me to buy a lot of things?"

Su Ling thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you tomorrow. What time?"

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked, "I don't know if the sub-district office will be open tomorrow. Auntie, you don't have to wait for me specially. I'll come find you after I'm done, but I'm not sure if I can come tomorrow."

Hearing this, Su Ling nodded, "Alright, I'll take Sweetie to the Youth Palace to dance tomorrow. If you can't find me, go to the Youth Palace to find me."

"Okay, I'm afraid of troubling you."

"Don't be so polite! By the way, you just made me laugh, asking me to blink. I'm a living person, how could I not blink!"

Thinking of what just happened, Su Ling laughed.

"Mom! What's going on?"

Hua Yourong heard her mother's words and asked curiously.

Su Ling told her, and Hua Yourong burst into laughter.

Yang Xiaole felt a little embarrassed, "How would I know! If I knew someone was visiting your house, I definitely wouldn't have come to cause trouble!"

"It's okay, you meant well. By the way, have you eaten? If not, there are leftovers at home." Su Ling was as polite as ever.

"No need, Auntie. I've eaten. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I'll come to the Youth Palace to find you tomorrow!"

After saying that, he stood up.

As for Hua Yourong's uncle, he didn't ask too much. This was their private matter.

It sounds like he's going abroad.

As for the Rong family!

This reminded him of a Rong family in the future, not sure if it's the same one, but it's a super hidden family.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment and said to Su Ling, "Auntie, if you can go abroad now, it's best to go."

It's not like his family.

It will be troublesome in the future.

After listening, Su Ling smiled bitterly and didn't explain, just nodded, "I'll consider it! By the way, take this money, my brother gave it to you, just take it."

"No need!"

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole didn't say anything more.

He said goodbye and left with the handcart.

As for the one hundred yuan left on the table, he naturally didn't touch it.

After coming out, seeing fewer and fewer people on the road and nowhere to play, he went straight into an empty lane where no one was.

He's still a person and needs to sleep.

He has to get up at three tomorrow.

After entering the space, lighting the kerosene lamp, and looking at the almost full wooden house, Yang Xiaole had a headache and had to clean it up quickly.

Otherwise, it won't fit.

After eating, he washed up and lay down on the bed to sleep.

...

Around two o'clock the next morning, he was awakened by the alarm clock and quietly went to Old Master Su's place.

At this time, there was a handcart parked at the door with many baskets on it.

Yang Xiaole looked at it strangely, then tried to push the courtyard door gently, and it opened with a push.

As soon as he pushed the door open, there was movement inside.

A man in his thirties, with a crew cut, wearing a white vest and black pants, walked out of the main hall.

Seeing Yang Xiaole, he asked, "Delivery?"

After thinking for a moment, Yang Xiaole nodded gently, "Yes."

"Come in, close the door behind you."

After speaking, the man turned and went into the courtyard.

Yang Xiaole followed and entered the main courtyard through the hanging flower gate.

After coming in, by the light, he could see the man's physique clearly, he was all bronze skin and muscles.

He walked with a powerful stride, and his speed was fast.

At this time, the old man was sitting at the top of the main hall.

After the two came in, the man bowed to Old Master Su and said, "Master, the person is here."

The old man, who had been squinting, opened his eyes at this time.

Looking at Yang Xiaole who had just come in, he sighed, "A dragon lying in shallow water, I didn't expect that just eating some meat would cause such a commotion, getting up in the middle of the night."

After speaking, he laughed at himself.Upon hearing this, the man hurriedly said, "Master, as I've told you, leave these matters to us in the future. We won't let you lack food, will we?"

The Old Man glanced at him and shook his head, "With the little you get, you can barely take care of your own families, let alone pay respects to me!"

He sighed and looked towards Yang Xiaole, "This is my apprentice, Stick, you two should get in touch from now on. I'm getting old and can't handle the hassle anymore."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole glanced at the person beside him.

The other was also curiously sizing him up.

Such a young kid?

There must be someone backing him!

Seeing Yang Xiaole's hesitant gaze, the Old Master chuckled, "Rest assured, I, your Old Master, stake my head on it as a guarantee. If anything goes wrong, Stick will take the fall alone."

"Master!"

The young man became anxious upon hearing this, not because he had to take the fall, but because of the phrase about staking his head as a guarantee.

"Enough!"

The Old Master waved his hand nonchalantly.

Then he turned to Yang Xiaole, "Where's the stuff? You take him to fetch it, nothing will go wrong. He's a Handcart Man from In the City, moving stuff won't draw other people's attention."

Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and nodded.

After all, as long as he didn't reveal his family name, no one could pin anything on him.

"Alright, I'll borrow the handcart at the door. By the way, Old Master, how are we settling the Overseas Exchange Coupons? How much have you prepared?"

"All the 200 yuan you asked for is ready. Once the stuff is sorted, you two come here. Stick, lend him the handcart."

Lin Kun nodded in agreement.

"Alright, Old Master, let him come out with me. We'll just be around the lane."

The two exchanged glances and nodded.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaole led him out.

Once outside, Yang Xiaole thought for a moment and asked, "What should I call you? I can't call you Stick like the Old Master does, can I?"

"Lin Kun!"

Oh, no wonder he's called Stick.

After coming out and seeing the handcart at the door, Yang Xiaole said to him, "Wait here, I'll pull the cart to the lane ahead. When I call you, come over to take it! By the way, do you want any food?"

"Yes, I'll take anything edible."

"Alright, wait here!"

After speaking, Yang Xiaole pushed the handcart towards the small lane nearby.

Arriving at the spot, he looked back to make sure the other person hadn't followed, then started loading items into the basket.

First was pork, nearly 300 pounds of it.

There was also a pig's head, which the Old Man had requested.

Next were the eggs.

In the past few days, they had collected several hundred eggs, totaling about 1500, roughly 150 pounds.

After everything was ready, he didn't rush but quietly waited for a while.

Feeling it was about time, he waved towards the lane.

Lin Kun hurried over quickly upon seeing the signal.

When he got close, Yang Xiaole pointed to the items and said, "The pig's head is for the Old Master, the rest you take back to weigh, to see if it's all there."

Lin Kun glanced at the goods, his eyes lit up, and he nodded lightly, "Okay, you go wait at the Master's place, I'll be there in less than half an hour."

Half an hour, roughly an hour.

He nodded and agreed.

Seeing this, the other party took the handcart and left.

Watching him go, Yang Xiaole thought this was quite convenient, then turned back to the Old Master's Large Courtyard.

Seeing him enter, the Old Man asked, "Did you take the stuff away?"

"Yes, I did!"

"Alright, wait a moment."

After saying that, he turned and went into the inner room, returning shortly after with a cloth bag in hand.

He placed the bag on the table and said, "Count it! When Stick comes back, we'll deduct from it. By the way, tell me what you've given."

Yang Xiaole began to count the contents.

They were all Overseas Exchange Coupons, with no food ration coupons, which even the wealthy coveted.

While counting, he said, "Over 300 pounds of pork, 150 pounds of eggs, 400 pounds of corn, and a few hundred pounds of sweet potatoes. That's about it."

This novel is available on "pawread.com".

After finishing, he looked at the Old Man and asked, "What does he do? A Handcart Man? Can they handle so much stuff?"

He was referring to those who pulled handcarts.

The Old Master was indifferent, "They can eat it all even if it's flipped several times."

Yang Xiaole hesitated, but remembering the Old Man's previous assurance, he didn't ask further.

"The count is correct."

After verifying there were no issues, he collected the items.

The Old Man really was quite capable!

And with such a strong man, coupled with the identity of a Handcart Man, transporting goods would be much more convenient in the future.

At least such people were generally not subject to inspection.
