Of course I have to find a pretty girl to have a meal with after getting the money.

March 3th is a Saturday.

The pretty girl has to go home tomorrow, so she’ll have to stay away from me all day.

The girl didn't have class at 4 pm today, so Shen He left an hour early.

As soon as I got home, I started to get busy.

"Where did you buy this lotus root? Do you have any more?"

"Yes, I bought it at Pigeon Market. If you want it, please."

"If you have more, give me a few pieces. My dad likes to eat it, but it's a pity that it's not available now. It just so happens that you have it." You Menglin winked at Shen He.

Shen He understood immediately, "Don't worry, I will behave well. What else do our parents like to eat?"

"What are you talking about? You need to behave well."

"I won't say anymore. It's all in my heart. Just drink the soup." Shen He interrupted quickly.

A woman's little thoughts can only be seen but not guessed, hehe...

The woman's heart now leans a little more towards him. Is it still far from meeting her father-in-law?

"Mengli, what else do your parents like to eat? When I have nothing to do, I like to go out and see if I can buy it for them. Who are your uncle and aunt? How can they travel so far to buy things for you? Otherwise, if we don't have any food in the future, just tell me and I'll take care of it."

"You're being nice, but I'm telling you, you don't need to. We have all the food rationed at home. You don't need to buy it. It will be delivered to your door regularly. But it's a bit troublesome to find what you want to eat."

"Tell me what you want to eat, maybe I can buy it for you."

"Let's talk about it then."

"Mengli, just look at my performance."

"Hey hey... You haven't even passed me yet, and you're already thinking of surpassing me? No way."

"Then it's not too late for me to please you now.

Come and try this, stir-fried beef. I had to persuade them to buy me half a pound of it. This is the best and most tender piece of meat.

I heard they sell sea prawns at the Xidan market. I'll go ask around someday. If I find some next week, I'll cook them for you. They're big, long prawns like these."

As Shen He spoke, he made a gesture with his big hands.

"How much does it cost? Keep the money and don't spend it recklessly."

"Don't worry, my salary last month was 68, plus the few banquets I prepared, it's over a hundred.

I also want to make more money so that my future daughter-in-law can eat and drink whatever she wants."

Listening to Shen He's words, You Menglin's little mouth corners actually curled up slightly while she was eating.

Hey...Phi...

The woman still didn't admit it.

Anyway, it’s good that Shen He found out.

get out of class ended early this afternoon and her roommates all went home. If she hadn't been waiting for Shen He, she would probably have gone home too.

"Mengli, when are you leaving tomorrow?"

"what?"

"Didn't you just talk about lotus root?"

"Tomorrow morning I'll have to get up at 6 o'clock and be able to leave school at 7 o'clock..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the door at 7 o'clock."

You Menglin gave Shen He a charming smile.

What a pity, we have to keep this smile locked in the room for a few more years.

"Okay, go back quickly, go to bed early, and go home in style tomorrow." Shen He reluctantly let go of the little hand that he had been holding all the way.

There has been some progress in the past half month. At least the woman no longer dodges when I grab her hand.

After watching You Menglin enter the college, he got on his bike and rode back.

Early the next morning, Shen He started packing.

A cloth bag contained 20 kilograms of lotus root, kilograms of yam, and two bags of bacon and sausage made by Shen He himself, wrapped in newspaper.

Hmm... I also tried some dried mushrooms of various kinds, and ended up filling half a bag.

Shen He blinked. With so many things, can that girl carry them?

It’s good that you can’t carry it. If you can’t carry it, you can help her and maybe even take her home.

hey-hey……

Shen He pushed the cart out of the yard and locked the door.

As for someone entering through the door across the courtyard, the workers could have hammered him to death.

Not long after arriving, You Menglin went out with a small bag.

Shen He waved his hand.

"You came so early?"

"No, you see, I haven't even gotten out of the car yet. I saw you right after I arrived. Come on, get in the car. I'll take you there."

"No need to send me off. I can walk there by myself. There's a bus stop just up ahead."

"I have a lot of things with me, you definitely can't hold them all." Shen He tied up the cart and took out a large and heavy bag of things from the basket.

"You...why do you have so much?"

"I don't know what your parents like to eat, so I'll bring you some of what I have. Don't worry, there won't be too much.

Just let uncle and aunt taste it, and if it tastes good, come back to me."

"how much is it?"

"Talk about money? Girl, you actually talked to me about money? You've changed.

This is a gift from me to my uncle and aunt, not for you."

"Okay, okay, let's go. If we miss the bus, I'll have to wait for a long time."

Shen He smiled at the woman, showing his eight big white teeth.

She put the things in the basket, placed her bag on top, and patted the thick cushion on the seat.

"Come on up, it won't hurt your butt."

You Menglin got into the car with her hips raised and punched him.

"Sit down."

Shen He's car was not going fast. If it were a motorcycle, Shen He would have to go over several gentle slopes.

At You Menglin's request, Shen He stopped at the bus stop.

Maybe God was helping him, because after waiting for 20 minutes, no car came.

"Has the car left? Don't wait any longer, I'll take you home on my bike."

You Menglin looked around. Why didn’t the car come? Could it really have passed by?

I looked at my watch and it was already 7:30.

"Okay, but you can only take me to the gate."

"I promise to send Comrade You Menglin to the gate.

Hehe...get in the car.

Where is our home? Please tell me the address."

"Exit Xizhimen, go west, and then turn north at the first major intersection."

"Uh...it can't be such a coincidence."

"what happened?"

"I met an old man and an old woman while I was cooking in the compound you mentioned."

"Then do you want to go in?" You Menglin said with a smile from behind.

"No, I didn't bring anything today." Shen He shook his head.

That’s true. I haven’t been there since the Chinese New Year, and I don’t know how the two old people are doing.

The main reason is that Shen He doesn't have that much family affection to rely on. If someone comes out and says he wants to recognize his relatives, does Shen He have to open his heart to him?

That's not necessary.

You Menglin has found out where the two old people are, and she will go and see them when she has time.

It wasn't very cold in Beijing in March, but it was bearable in the morning. The main reason for this was that You Menglin was behind Shen He, so she didn't feel how cold it was at all. Moreover, her two little hands were still touching Shen He's back through his clothes, so she was as warm as she could be.

After You Menglin stopped mentioning the location, Shen He didn't ask again. There were only a few large compounds here anyway. Wouldn't they know the location even if he told them clearly?

Shen He stopped the car at the door, and You Menglin jumped out of the car like a little rabbit. Fortunately, no one saw it on the road.

At this time, the woman's face was flushed.

"Is this the right place?"

"Yes, it's here."

"I see. I know where your home is. Wait for me." Shen He said as he ran towards the guard room. After a while, a security officer followed him out.

"Thanks, brother." Shen He said thank you.

"What are you thanking me for? We've met Comrade You before, so it's only natural for me to help you."

Shen He waved to You Menglin who looked back when she entered the door, got on his bike and left.

If I don't leave, it will only make it awkward when I meet an elderly person.
