Chapter 362 In Progress
He Yuzhu didn't know whether the girl really wanted to ask him for something, but since she had this excuse, as a friend, it was right for him to ask her out of concern.
Liu Ting hesitated for a moment, she looked at He Yuzhu, but saw that He Yuzhu was looking at her sincerely.
Her heart was definitely warmed. Liu Ting bit her red lips and whispered, "I heard that you can get national food coupons. Can you help me change some?"
He Yuzhu's eyes revealed some surprise. Seeing this, Liu Ting explained incoherently: "It's not that I want it. It's that there's a grandmother in my family who seems to be not in good condition."
The person Liu Ting was talking about was not her biological grandmother.
Liu Ting's father has always been a drunkard. Since Liu Ting found out about the incident, there has not been a day that she has not been drunk.
So her mother had to go out and do odd jobs to supplement the family income.
At that time, Liu Ting was left to the care of an old lady at the door.
For example, after Liu Ting arrived in Sijiu City, she sent money to the old lady twice, but the money was returned by the old lady.
When it comes to this, every family has its own difficulties. For example, in Zhejiang Province today, there are many mountains and little land, so food is a problem.
Liu Ting was thinking of exchanging some national food coupons to send to the old lady, but for things like this, Liu Ting didn't go to Pigeon City often, nor did she know any friends who traveled frequently.
She didn't want to ask her stepfather for help.
I can only ask Guo Lei for help.
Guo Lei must have a way. It would be a joke if the supply and marketing cooperative couldn't get national food coupons.
But Guo Lei would not help with this kind of thing even if he could, and instead pushed the matter to He Yuzhu.
This stuff, all I can say is that good brothers will always be good brothers. He Yuzhu blamed himself for two seconds for saying bad things about Guo Lei before the meal.
Although he can help, He Yuzhu can't just pat his chest and take on such a matter.
He Yuzhu asked, "How much do you want? I went to the farm last year and the factory gave me some."
"Ten kilograms. It's not that grandma is short of this. I just wanted her to keep it on her body as a precaution." Liu Ting said.
He Yuzhu nodded and smiled: "Okay, I'll go home and look for it, and bring it to you when I find it."
"Yeah," the girl looked at He Yuzhu with eyes full of gratitude.
That's how it is. Now in places like the old city, things like national food coupons are not too difficult to exchange.
Not to mention that He Yuzhu himself had prepared some, even if he didn't, he could immediately exchange them when he went to Pigeon City.
But for Liu Ting, who had never been exposed to such things, she didn't even have the courage to go to Pigeon City.
Liu Ting hurriedly reached into her pocket and said, "How much is it? I'll give you the money first."
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? I won't sell it to anyone else."
He Yuzhu thought for a moment and said, “In the past two years, the countryside was still well-off, and many of my colleagues from rural areas often brought some food into the city and exchanged it for urgently needed items.
For example, the elderly and children at home have weak stomachs, so they want white flour.
Or the child has no milk and wants milk powder.
After all, I know more people in the city, so I help them to mediate.
I don’t do this myself.”
Regarding this thing, He Yuzhu originally wanted to explain that he was not the kind of person who would engage in such crooked ways.
But when talking about milk powder, the girl subconsciously looked at her chest.
He Yuzhu also glanced at the girl following her movements, and for a moment, the two fell into silence again because of this conversation.
Talking about milk powder in front of cows is so embarrassing.
He Yuzhu's nose was so rubbed that the skin was peeling off. He even wanted to slap himself twice.
Liu Ting took a few steps forward and whispered, "I know, but I won't tell anyone else."
On the way to send the girl back, Liu Ting was able to sit sideways in the car, holding the corner of He Yuzhu's clothes. As the road bumped, He Yuzhu felt his clothes tighten, and he felt quite at ease.
In the following days, He Yuzhu fell into something that every young man and woman would experience.
I always think about that person at work, and always feel that time is very long.
Even if two people are just walking on the street, they can feel each other's heartbeats quickening.
Liu Ting did not hide anything about her stepfather.
According to Liu Ting, she now lives in the factory dormitory and basically has no contact with her stepfather. It was her mother who told her to do so.
Although He Yuzhu had never met Liu Ting's mother, he felt that she was a very smart person.
The reason why Liu's mother didn't let Liu Ting contact that side was because the blood flowing in Liu Ting's veins was not her stepfather's blood.
According to Liu's mother, it is her luck and Liu Ting's luck that people are willing to remember her kindness and rekindle their old relationship with her.
At the beginning, no matter whether the other party was sincere or just for the sake of appearances, he would definitely treat Liu Ting very well.
But the blood Liu Ting shed was not the other person's after all, and loving the other person's blood would only be like this at the beginning.
After a long time, the other party also has children, and no matter who is favored, it is not good for both parties.
Liu's mother taught Liu Ting to learn to be independent. According to her mother, what Liu Ting has now would never be achieved in her lifetime if she were in her original family in Quzhou.
So Liu's mother is very satisfied with everything now, and she also hopes that Liu Ting will be satisfied.
When Liu Ting said all this, she had a smile on her face but a sad look in her eyes.
To put it bluntly, rationally speaking, Liu's mother's idea is good for all three parties.
But emotionally, it is quite unfair to Liu Ting.
Liu Ting leaned on He Yuzhu's shoulder, and after she finished speaking, she rubbed her eyes against He Yuzhu's shoulder and said, "Actually, I'm quite satisfied, really, Brother Zhuzi.
My mother was right, if it were in Quzhou.
If my father were still alive, I don't know who would have sold me to in exchange for money for alcohol.
It would have been impossible for me to come to Beijing, go to night school, and enter the workplace.
But I also get tired sometimes.
I also want to have a home to shelter me from the wind and rain when I am sad.
I have a mother who cares about me.
......"
He Yuzhu had just finished watching a movie with Liu Ting. Since they exchanged their food coupons last time, their relationship has been going well.
At least now He Yuzhu has asked Yu Shui to go to Liu Ting's dormitory regularly to bring her some delicious food.
As for He Yuzhu, he was naturally the one waiting downstairs in the dormitory building.
How to say this thing?
Yu Shui now plays more of a matchmaker and a third wheel.
Because of Liu Ting's relationship with her mother, she needs to make her own choice in marriage.
Therefore, it is normal to have a longer free love period and get to know each other better.
But these days, if a couple goes out side by side, people will gossip about them.
Therefore, there needs to be a third party to prevent others from misunderstanding.
And our classmate He Yushui played the role of the light bulb very well.
According to Yu Shui, Liu Ting was afraid to sleep alone in the dormitory, so she asked He Yuzhu to send her to sleep with her every now and then.
