Chapter 91: Not Wang Shufeng’s Type
Because they were going to the county, Yun Qinghuan woke up very early the next morning. She and Liu Yuzhi prepared breakfast and lunch together.
When they went to the hospital for the check-up, there would be a lot of people, and it would definitely be busy. They might not have time to eat at a state-run restaurant, so Yun Qinghuan planned to make extra food to take with them for lunch.
She had originally planned to ask Liu Yuzhi to go as well. She had lived for decades, always staying in this village, with the farthest place she had been to being the town. She had hardly ever traveled far.
But Liu Yuzhi refused. Now that the busy farming season was over, the weather was gradually getting hotter, and by noon it was unbearably hot outside, like being roasted in an oven. There was also less work in the fields.
Most of the villagers would get up very early in the morning to go to the fields, and then go again in the evening after the sun went down, not earning many work points in a day.
But Liu Yuzhi couldn’t stay idle. Yun Qinghuan asked her to rest, but she didn’t want to.
She also didn’t want to go to the county.
Seeing that someone was accompanying her son to the hospital, she was even less inclined to go, only telling them to be careful on their way and to be careful with their money, lest pickpockets steal it.
Knowing that Yun Qinghuan was also going to the town today to collect her gΗofΓ¨i, she gave her extra reminders.
In this era, everyone’s lives were difficult, and some cunning people would do shady things, stealing other people’s money.
Especially in places like hospitals, there were even more thieves, after all, no one went to see a doctor without bringing money.
Stealing even the money meant for treating illnesses and saving lives, these people were truly wicked!
In the morning, she specially used the risen white flour to make roujiamo [Chinese-style hamburgers]. The white dough had been kneaded the night before, and the braised meat had been simmering on low heat all night, smelling incredibly fragrant. She also cooked a pot of mung bean porridge, which was refreshing and relieved greasiness. Adding some white sugar and chilling it in well water made it taste like mung bean slush, very delicious.
Yun Qinghuan also specially took a large serving of mung bean porridge and six roujiamo, enough for the three of them for lunch.
The roujiamo plus the large serving of mung bean porridge was actually quite heavy. Yun Qinghuan picked it up and was about to walk out the door when the man stopped her. He reached out and said directly, “Sister-in-law, give it to me. I’ll carry it.”
Yun Qinghuan didn’t argue with him. After spending so much time together, she had come to understand him. Once he made up his mind about something, it was difficult to persuade him otherwise.
Besides, it would be easier for her if he carried it.
When they arrived at the village entrance, they still took Old Li’s ox cart.
Old Li was overjoyed when he heard that Bai Naihan was going to the county hospital to check his leg. “I knew your leg would definitely get better! You served the country and the people for the first half of your life, and the heavens wouldn’t bear to see you sitting in a wheelchair for the rest of your life. Kid, Grandpa Li will wait for your good news!”
Bai Naihan smiled and nodded. “Thank you for your kind words, Grandpa Li.”
It was also a coincidence that they ran into Wang Shufeng again on the ox cart going to town this time. When she saw Yun Qinghuan, she was stunned and subconsciously avoided eye contact.
Her hand also hurriedly pulled away from a man’s hand. Without saying a word, she directly sat down on the ox cart.
Yun Qinghuan looked at the man next to Wang Shufeng. He was a dark-skinned, tall man who looked a bit simple-minded. When he saw Wang Shufeng sit directly on the cart, he quickly pulled out a newspaper from his pocket and placed it as a pad on the wooden board. “Feng’er, sit here. It’s not dirty here.”
Wang Shufeng half-covered her face and hurriedly looked around. Seeing that everyone around was looking at her, she rolled her eyes at the man irritably. “Got it!”
She sat down resentfully and tugged at the man’s clothes with her hand, warning him in a low voice, “Keep your distance from me outside!”
The happy expression on the man’s face froze when he heard her words, and he responded in a low voice with some disappointment, “Okay.”
His unhappiness was visible to the naked eye, looking as wronged as a puppy.
The man probably only noticed Yun Qinghuan and Bai Naihan at this time. He nodded at them as a greeting.
Bai Naihan and Yun Qinghuan also nodded back at him. The few of them weren’t very familiar with each other, so they didn’t talk much along the way.
Yun Qinghuan also knew the man. He was from Baijia Village and was called Bai Zhongshan. He was tall and big, but he wasn’t very good at talking, being taciturn. So, he was already in his late twenties and still hadn’t found a girl to marry.
Yun Qinghuan had seen him a few times before, but she had only seen him and hadn’t even spoken to him.
She was quite curious how someone as arrogant as Wang Shufeng had gotten involved with Bai Zhongshan.
Of course, it wasn’t looking down on Bai Zhongshan, but Bai Zhongshan didn’t seem to be Wang Shufeng’s type.
Along the way, Bai Zhongshan was very attentive to Wang Shufeng, constantly asking if she was cold or hungry, and occasionally giving her snacks. His attitude was extremely good, and it could be seen that the man really liked Wang Shufeng.
On the contrary, Wang Shufeng’s attitude towards him was very cold and even a bit impatient.
When they arrived in town, Wang Shufeng got off the cart and quickly walked towards the department store. Bai Zhongshan followed behind her. Yun Qinghuan glanced at them from afar and then looked away.
She first went to the post office with Bai Naihan and An’an. The post office staff obviously recognized her. It was the same male comrade from last time. He was very happy to see her. “The letter from the Bright Daily has been here for a few days. I was wondering when Comrade Yun would come.”
Since Yun Qinghuan had told them not to deliver it specially, they hadn’t sent it.
Yun Qinghuan thanked him and walked out of the post office with the letter. Even through the envelope, she could feel a thick stack of paper inside. Without even guessing, it was definitely money.
Her lips curved upwards happily.
Seeing her standing at the post office door wanting to open the envelope, the man reminded her, “Sister-in-law, there are a lot of people here.”
Indeed, there were many people. Because the three of them were very good-looking, especially since Yun Qinghuan transmigrated into the book, they had been eating very well. Now she was beautiful and energetic, with fair skin, and dressed cleanly and neatly. Compared to many of the sallow-faced and somewhat sloppy people around them who were hungry, they looked like people from two different worlds. Therefore, many people were staring at the three of them.
Yun Qinghuan was momentarily so excited about the possibility of the envelope being full of gaofei that she didn’t react. She also forgot about Liu Yuzhi’s reminder to be careful of thieves before she left.
At this moment, the man’s reminder made her react. She quickly stuffed the envelope into her pocket, carefully glanced around, and smiled at the man. “I’m too happy.”
The man had been observing the surroundings. Seeing a small alley, he pointed to it, signaling her to look. “There shouldn’t be anyone there. Let’s go over there.”
“Okay.”
An’an seemed to be able to sense his mother’s happiness as well. Recently, many people had said that his mother earned money by writing, and since An’an was very smart, he could vaguely sense that there might be money in this envelope. The expression on his face was also very happy.
The three of them went to the small alley. After the person at the alley entrance walked out of sight, there was no one else in the entire alley. It became quiet.
“Sister-in-law, you can open it.”
As he spoke, his eyes warily watched the alley entrance, preventing anyone from suddenly barging in.
Hearing this, Yun Qinghuan held the envelope, her heart pounding.
How much gaofei would there be? Would it be about the ninety yuan she had originally calculated? Or even more?
Special Xoxo to all dear readers whose special day is coming up in June!
