If it weren't for the circumstances, she would never have married that hothead Xu Damao.

After changing his clothes, Su Ting said goodbye to Xu Damao and returned to the guesthouse together, where they had another good night's sleep.

That night, an elderly woman from the old man's house kept comforting Yi Zhonghai, who was feeling devastated.

"Zhonghai! Let's just let today's matter pass!"

Su Ting's identity is different from others, so it's a good thing that Jia Zhangshi has Su Ting keeping her in check.

Let's try not to offend them in the future. Besides, they are really a good person.

Look, as soon as I arrived, I handed out milk candies to the children in the yard. Milk candies aren't cheap!

They even brought us meatballs. I think this child is a good person.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai sighed and responded.

"How could I not know? I know in my heart that the root of today's events lies with Jia Zhangshi."

But they actually hit an elder. What if they treat us like that in the future? Sigh!

"I never expected Su Ting to be so unwilling to suffer even the slightest loss. I'll have to be more careful from now on."

Upon hearing this, the older woman fell silent.

At this moment, another farcical scene of wailing and lamentation was unfolding in Liu Haizhong's home.

The two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, once again experienced their father's profound "fatherly love".

Liu Haizhong was so scared today that he almost wet his pants. All he could think about was finding a place to vent his anger.

Of course, the person he resented the most was Jia Zhangshi.

If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate, not only losing money but also losing all face.

Thinking back to his usual dignified and powerful image as the second uncle in the courtyard, he now sees himself in such a humble and submissive state.

How could he dare to harbor any resentment towards Su Ting?

On the other hand, Yan Bugui's family was quite happy. Yan Bugui no longer cared about his two potted flowers that had been destroyed.

He was leisurely sipping his tea, cracking open the melon seeds he had swiped during the courtyard assembly, a smug expression on his face.

At this moment, the third aunt asked, puzzled.

"Old man, you offended Su Ting today, so why are you so happy? Aren't you afraid that Su Ting will cause you trouble in the future?"

Yan Bugui waved his hand and said, "Oh dear, you just don't understand."

Su Ting just quietly returned the money to me; he's a man of principle.

Let me tell you about it! I didn't mention a word about what happened today.

Not only did I not mention it, I also asked everyone to welcome him! And I even gave him two potted plants!

Let me tell you, I've known for a long time that Su Ting is no ordinary person; I know his true identity.

Did those old Yis who wanted to intimidate him mistake him for He Yuzhu?

Su Ting is methodical in his work, and his kindness to our family is obvious.

Today's events were deliberately brought up by me using my identity as Uncle San to drag Lao Yi and his group into the mess.

Compared to him, I, his third uncle, am the one who treats him the best.

From now on, let's get along well with Su Ting and actively help him whenever we need help. He definitely won't hold a grudge against me for what happened today.

Otherwise, would Su Ting still return our money to me?

Upon hearing this, the three women immediately clapped their hands in agreement: "Oh my, really! I never expected Su Ting to return the money to us."

I knew it! Why didn't you mention his affair with Jia Zhangshi at the meeting?

So you realized Su Ting wasn't simple after all! The old man has a long-term vision.

"Keep your voice down! Don't let outsiders hear!"

Yan Bugui was overjoyed to hear his wife's praise! After all, what man doesn't like his wife complimenting him?

Chapter Twenty-One: A Sweet Tongue

The next morning, Su Ting got up early.

Last night, while he was sleeping, he gained over two hundred emotional points from everyone in the courtyard. It was like money coming in the moment he opened his eyes.

I have a task to complete today, so I absolutely cannot be late.

Looking at the more than 8,000 emotion points in the system, Su Ting felt quite pleased.

It's a pity it's not in a courtyard house, otherwise I could just find someone to boost my mood points in the morning and I'd have enough for breakfast!

I reckon that right now, all I have to do is stand in front of Jia Zhangshi and not say or do anything to get emotional points.

A wonderful day begins with a bowl of instant noodles with two eggs and a sausage.

If I haven't eaten instant noodles for a long time, I'm actually starting to miss the taste!

Using one point of emotional value, I happily ate a bowl of instant noodles, checked out, and headed towards the steel rolling mill.

After all, he was unsure whether his first mission would require him to spend the night in the local production team.

Watching the workers rushing to work on the street and breathing in the fresh morning air, I felt quite relaxed.

In 1964, cars were not common in Beijing, but bicycles were quite prevalent.

It seems I should consider buying one myself; just yesterday, Deputy Factory Director Li gave me two vouchers.

Thinking about this, I remembered the watch again.

It's really inconvenient not having a watch to tell the time.

So he decisively spent 150 emotional points to buy a Shanghai brand watch, a unique item of this era, and put it on his wrist.

Although the style isn't my favorite, it's still better than buying those trendy watches of the future.

Otherwise, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

As for clothing, I'll just wear a Zhongshan suit or woolen coat; they're quite comfortable to wear.

At this moment, I look quite cool in this black Zhongshan suit.

Look at the way those young girls on the street are staring at Su Ting; they can't take their eyes off him!

Of course! There were no smartphones here later.

Otherwise, if I walked all the way to the steel rolling mill, I'd probably have all the girls I met along the way ask for my phone number.

Su Ting spent 2 points of her emotional value to buy a pack of mints, peeled one out and popped it into her mouth.

He doesn't particularly like sweets, but he does have a fondness for milk.

That mint candy quickly perked him up.

They strolled leisurely to the entrance of the steel rolling mill, but did not see Deputy Director Li.

I bet this guy is still wrapped up in his blankets, sleeping with his wife!

"Life as an official must be so comfortable!" Su Ting couldn't help but feel a little envious.

Upon entering the Second Procurement Department, I found that seven or eight people were already on duty, and they greeted each other warmly.

Then, Zhang Changzhi came out, followed by a young man who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old and quite sturdy.

The young man was about 1.7 meters tall, which was considered a standard height for that era.

After all, people back then were generally not as tall as those in later generations, probably due to insufficient nutrition.

Looking back at the height and build of junior high school students in later generations, they were all top-notch.

After everyone's tasks were assigned, each person took their voucher to the finance department to process their payment.

After all, in this era, procurement was very strict, and it was impossible to purchase supplies without the relevant procedures.

Of course, private purchases such as one or two chickens, ducks, or fish can be handled privately.

After everyone left, Zhang Changzhi led the young man to Su Ting and introduced him.

"Su Ting, this is Liu Dazhuang, who came with you to purchase supplies today."

He knows the way and is very strong. If you need him for anything, just ask.

Dazhuang, come here and call him Brother Suting. Today you'll go to the countryside with Suting to do some shopping.

"You're really lucky, kid! If I weren't so busy, I'd love to come with you!"

Upon hearing Zhang Changzhi's words, Liu Dazhuang quickly and respectfully addressed him as "Brother Su Ting."

It's clear that this kid has some connection with Zhang Changzhi.

However, having a capable helper by his side made things easier for Su Ting.

He nodded in agreement and headed straight to the finance department with the receipt he received.

The two exchanged a few words on the way and quickly became acquainted.

Liu Dazhuang kept calling Su Ting "Brother Su," indicating that he would absolutely obey Su Ting's arrangements.
