"Brother Jianguo, you're here too! And who is this?"

At that moment, someone's words broke the strange atmosphere between the two.

The two of them turned their heads at the same time and saw Lu Youyou standing there side by side with a man.

Shang Yanfang greeted him, "Brother Lu, it's you! How did you get here?"

“Shang Zhiqing, I thought… Oh, I came to the commune. Didn’t you say I had a comrade working at the brick factory? This is the person.”

Lu Youyou pointed to the man standing next to him as she spoke.

"Ouch, ha, you're hurting me."

Seeing Shang Yanfang calling Lu Youyou "Brother Lu" repeatedly, Gao Jianguo felt a pang of jealousy, unaware that he had hurt Shang Yanfang.

"Excuse me, Yanfang, are you alright?"

Gao Jianguo looked at Shang Yanfang with a face full of shame.

What else could Shang Yanfang say?

"It's okay, it just hurt a moment ago, it doesn't hurt now."

Seeing that the little girl no longer blamed him.

Gao Jianguo then said, "Let's go to the state-run restaurant to talk. Yanfang sprained her ankle, and her foot can't stand for long periods of time."

He then helped Shang Yanfang into the state-run restaurant.

The two people behind them were also going to eat at the state-run restaurant, and they followed them into the restaurant.

Upon entering, I saw Gao Jianguo and Shang Yanfang sitting on a small stool. There was another stool opposite them, clearly reserved for them.

After they sat down, they started chatting again.

Gao Jianguo then went to order the food.

He didn't know what the little girl liked to eat, so he ordered almost everything. He ordered two servings of braised pork, one to eat here and the other to be packed into a lunchbox.

We also ordered stir-fried vegetables, a fish, a plate of dumplings, and four bowls of rice.

After paying the money and ticket, I returned to my seat and sat down.

He noticed that many people around him were looking at Shang Yanfang.

As soon as I sat down, I heard Lu Youyou say, "Shang Zhiqing, you are so beautiful, I almost didn't recognize you."

“Of course,” Lu Youyou couldn’t help but laugh as she looked at Shang Yanfang’s smug expression.

Gao Jianguo felt that smile was really irritating.

Pointing to the man next to her, she said, "Youyou, aren't you going to introduce this man?"

“I forgot to introduce him. This is Ren Zhiguo, the factory manager of the brick and tile factory. He served in the army with your brother and me. Later, he retired from the army and became the factory manager.”

Lu Youyou first introduced herself to Shang Yanfang.

"Shang Yanfang, a sent-down youth from Kaoshan Brigade, her brother is Shang Guohua. Yes, that's the Shang Guohua we know."

He then pointed to Shang Yanfang and introduced her to Ren Zhiguo, who was sitting next to him.

"Nice to meet you." The two shook hands lightly.

"Really, we're family now. Your brother and I are really close. You're her sister, so you're my sister too. If you ever need anything, just come to your brother."

Ren Zhiguo was also a very outgoing person.

"Sure, Brother Ren, I need to build a house, could you get me some tiles?"

As soon as Shang Yanfang finished speaking, Ren Zhiguo turned his gaze to Lu Youyou.

“Don’t look at me, I’m here to ask her for the tiles too.”

"Oh...oh, I see." Ren Zhiguo's "oh" was somewhat meaningful.

The king of destruction is back online. Just then, Gao Jianguo brought two dishes and placed them on the table, interrupting their conversation.

"Eat, eat."

Seeing that the food had been served, Shang Yanfang quickly greeted them.

It took Gao Jianguo several trips to bring up all the food he ordered.

Lu Youyou and Ren Zhiguo looked at the table full of dishes and stared at Gao Jianguo in disbelief.

That's incredibly generous!

"Eat, eat, consider it a thank you for helping us with the tiles today."

Gao Jianguo picked up a dumpling for the little girl and invited the other two to eat with him.

Shang Yanfang's eyes seemed to sparkle as she looked at Gao Jianguo.

Seeing that the little girl was standing there motionless, Gao Jianguo tapped the table in front of her with his chopsticks.

When the little girl came to her senses and looked at him, he gestured for her to eat.

The little girl looked at the bowl of rice in front of her with real worry.

"I can't finish it, Gao Jianguo." The soft, sweet voice made half of Gao Jianguo's body go numb.

He picked up the little girl's bowl of rice and scooped half of it into his own bowl.

"Leave half, eat more vegetables, I'll eat the rice if we can't finish it."

He handed the remaining half bowl of rice to the little girl and said.

The little girl happily ate the rice in her bowl.

The meal was finished in a rather strange manner, and the group then went their separate ways.

Lu Youyou and Ren Zhiguo went back to the brick factory to finalize the tile arrangement.

Gao Jianguo helped the overeaten Shang Yanfang to her bicycle and then took her to the post office.

Shang Yanfang first put her reply into the mailbox, and then went to the post office to ask if there were any packages or letters for her.

As soon as she entered, Sister Li recognized her and asked with a smile if the person who came with her last time was here.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries.

Shang Yanfang went to the mail management office to ask if there were any packages or letters for her.

"Comrade, hello, do you have any letters or packages addressed to Shang Yanfang?"

The person in charge of the letters and packages was a young man. When he heard someone talking to her, he subconsciously looked up and saw Shang Yanfang standing there prettily.

The young man, his mind wandering, searched through the notebook.

He stammered, "There are...there are...two...two letters, and...and two...two big...big packages."

Finally, the young man finished speaking, albeit haltingly.

Shang Yanfang also learned that she had two letters and two large bags of luggage.

Her eyes involuntarily drifted to Gao Jianguo, who was supporting her.

Even before she sprained her ankle, she had a hard time getting both packages back, let alone now that she has a sprained ankle.

She looked at Gao Jianguo with those moist eyes.

"I'm scared of you, my ancestor," Gao Jianguo said, but honestly took the two packages and Shang Yanfang was holding two letters.

The two of them struggled to reach the bicycle.

Shang Yanfang looked at the package on the ground and said worriedly, "What are we going to do with this?"

She would occasionally glance at Gao Jianguo with pleading eyes.

"Put the two pieces of luggage in the back seat, and you sit on the crossbar in front. Is that okay?" Gao Jianguo offered his solution.

Shang Yanfang thought about it and realized that this was indeed the only solution.

"Okay, let's go back like this."

Once the person spoke, Gao Jianguo quickly secured his luggage.

He sat down first, supporting himself with his legs on the ground, and let Shang Yanfang sit on the beam in front of him.

He seemed to be holding the little girl in his arms.

"Set off."

Shang Yanfang gave the order.

Upon receiving the order, Gao Jianguo pushed off with his long legs, and the bicycle rode a long distance away.

A gentle breeze blew, causing Shang Yanfang's hair to brush against Gao Jianguo's face, making him feel a tingling, itchy sensation. Occasionally, he could also smell a faint fragrance, not strong, but simply pleasant.
