A familiar voice sounded, and Sha Zhu was so scared that he shuddered all over.

When I looked up, I found that an old man named Yi Zhonghai was standing in front of me.

Sha Zhu withdrew his hands in panic, then scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai went up and slapped Sha Zhu.

He got angry when he saw Sha Zhu. If Sha Zhu hadn't called the police, Dongxu might not have gone in.

Now that Dongxu has just entered, he dares to tease Qin Huairu in broad daylight. He must be tired of living.

"Why am I here? How dare you say that?"

"Go away, get as far away from me as possible. I feel upset when I see you now."

Yi Zhonghai, who was unable to keep up the anger, kicked Sha Zhu again.

Shazhu covered his butt and ran away in embarrassment.

After driving Sha Zhu away, Yi Zhonghai took out ten dollars from his pocket.

"Huai Ru, this is the ten dollars I just borrowed from a co-worker. Please keep it for now."

Although he said that he went back to borrow money from his co-workers, in fact, it was money from Yi Zhonghai's own pocket. He did not go back to the workshop to borrow money just now, but took the opportunity to go to the toilet.

The reason why he did all this to deceive Qin Huairu was mainly because he was afraid that she would not pay back the money.

Qin Huairu took the ten yuan, her face full of gratitude, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

"Huai Ru thanks you, uncle. Don't worry, I will definitely return the ten dollars to you in a few days."

"It's okay. We are all neighbors. It's our duty to help."

"When I asked about the loan just now, the other party was not in a hurry to use the money recently and said that as long as I could pay it back before the end of the month, it would be fine."

Yi Zhonghai's implication was very clear: this money was not lent to you by me, but by my co-worker.

If you borrow money from Yi Zhonghai, maybe Yi Zhonghai will suffer from the neighbors or he may be embarrassed to ask for money for other reasons.

But it’s different now. It’s not my money, it’s my co-worker’s. It’s reasonable for me to go to his house to collect the money, right?

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai went back to the workshop to work, using the excuse that he was too busy.

Qin Huairu held the money borrowed from Yi Zhonghai in her hand, her pupils filled with hope.

"Now Dongxu is saved..."

"Hey, what is this?"

Qin Huairu picked up something wrapped in cloth from the ground.

As soon as I opened it, my heart started beating fast.

Money, a rolled-up wad of money.

Qin Huairu quickly put it in her arms, and after making sure that no one around saw what she had just done, she jogged away from the scene.

Then he found a deserted place, took out the stack of money from his pocket and started counting it.

It didn't matter what she counted, but Qin Huairu was shocked after she finished counting.

A total of 45 dollars.

This was the first time in Qin Huairu's life that she had touched so much money. Her heart was pounding as she held it in her hands.

After thinking about it, I think it was probably Yi Zhonghai who dropped it. As for Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu bet that he didn't have that much money.

"You are so good, Yi Zhonghai. I thought you were really helping me borrow money, but I didn't expect you were just pretending."

"I, Qin Huairu, have finally seen through you. It turns out that you are a hypocritical villain!"

After saying that, Qin Huairu put it directly into her trouser pocket.

She had no intention of returning the money to Yi Zhonghai.

Even if he came over and asked shamelessly, Qin Huairu would pretend not to know and saw nothing.

Now that she had money, Qin Huairu immediately went to find a door repairman.

After Chen Xiangdong rode his bicycle out of the courtyard with Youyou, he headed straight for the department store.

Inside a department store.

A new thing in the leisurely and happy department store.

There were people coming and going inside, all of them dressed brightly and beautifully, but the way everyone looked at me made me feel weird and uncomfortable.

Then Youyou slowly lowered his little head.

Chen Xiangdong naturally knew the reason, so he stepped forward and picked up Youyou.

Everyone has low self-esteem.

That is the submission of the weak to the strong, which can be power, money or other things. It is a fact that is deeply engraved in the blood.

Of course, some people are open-minded and don’t care.

For example, Chen Xiangdong is carefree and doesn’t care at all about the disdainful looks of passers-by.

"Come on, I'll take you to buy new clothes."

Although supplies were scarce in the 60s, department stores still had everything except food-related items.

Such as various daily necessities and clothing.

Walked to a counter selling cotton clothes.

Then he started to pick out a suitable cotton coat for Youyou.

When Youyou saw her brother picking out a cotton-padded jacket for her, she sensibly refused.

"Brother, Youyou doesn't want the new clothes. Youyou's clothes are still quite new. Take a look at them."

After saying that, Youyou turned around twice and showed her cotton coat to Chen Xiangdong.

"Other children cry and make a fuss to ask their parents to buy things for them, but your sister is quite sensible." The salesperson at the side said jokingly.

As a salesperson, she hadn't seen such a well-behaved child for a long time. What's more, Youyou was very cute, which made the salesperson like her even more.

The salesperson took out a piece of White Rabbit from his pocket and bent down to hand it to Youyou.

"Little sister, you don't have to go to school this year. Come here and I'll give you a piece of candy."

Youyou looked at the salesperson with caution and didn't dare to go forward to take the candy.

Then he turned his eyes to his brother Chen Xiangdong.

Chen Xiangdong took out a pink sweater and trousers and tried them on Youyou.

"Youyou, tell your sister that you will be in the first grade when school starts."

"It fits pretty well."

Then she put the pink sweater and trousers on the counter and started to choose a coat and shoes for Youyou.

With her brother's affirmation, Youyou became a little bolder.

"Big sister, Youyou will be in the first grade this year."

"Youyou doesn't eat candy, big sister, you should take it back."

The salesperson smiled when he saw this.

"Okay, since Youyou doesn't want to eat it, I'll take it back."

After a while, Youyou had chosen all her clothes, and then Chen Xiangdong picked out another set for himself.

At this point, the two siblings’ outfits were completely changed from the inside out, and a wonderful life slowly unfolded.

"How much is the total?"

In front of the mirror, Chen Xiangdong held his sister and looked at himself in the mirror. The young man was handsome and elegant, while the girl was cute and smart.

The salesperson took out an abacus and started working on it. Soon he had worked out the prices of all the clothes.

"The total is 62 yuan and 3 cents."

Now that he has money, Chen Xiangdong naturally won't bargain for a dime or two.

After paying the money, Chen Xiangdong took Youyou to shop in the mall for a while.

After putting on the new clothes, Youyou obviously felt that the uncomfortable gazes disappeared and she began to regain her lively personality.

I skipped and jumped along the way and looked at the things in the department store.

Then Chen Xiangdong bought a few kilograms of White Rabbit milk candy and peach cakes for Youyou, and then rode his bike back.
