The two soon rode to the commune office.

Gao Jianguo led the little girl directly into Director Wang's office.

Gao Jianguo politely knocked twice on the open office door.

"Jianguo, you're here. Sit down. Let's talk after I finish what I'm doing," Wang Dachui said, looking up at Gao Jianguo.

"Uncle Wang, you're busy, don't worry about me," Gao Jianguo said bluntly.

Gao Jianguo pointed to a stool on the side and told the little girl to sit down first. He then moved another stool and placed it next to the little girl, and the two of them sat there side by side.

Gao Jianguo noticed that the little girl's fingernails were turning white, yet she was still clutching her bag. So he gently pried her hands open.

"I'll get it. Relax, it's safe here." Shang Yanfang then loosened her grip on the bag and carefully looked around the room.

The room was actually quite simple, with two tables, a bookcase, and a thermos in the corner.

"Jianguo, who is this?" After finishing his official business, Wang Dachui glanced at the person who came and realized that Gao Jianguo was not alone this time.

"This is my wife," Gao Jianguo said after thinking for a moment.

"When did you get married? You didn't even tell your uncle, and you didn't give me any wedding gift money."

"Uncle, it's not settled yet, but it'll be soon. You'll definitely get your share of the wedding gift money," Gao Jianguo said, his tone both self-righteous and confident.

"Haha, okay, Jianguo, remember to let your uncle know when the time comes, and I'll give you a big red envelope." Wang Dali said to Gao Jianguo with a smile.

"Did you come here to deposit money?" Wang Dachui immediately knew Gao Jianguo's purpose for coming.

"Yes, Uncle, I'm doing this to help you complete your mission."

"Hey, thanks to you guys, otherwise it would be hard to even get a bite of meat now," Wang Dachui sighed.

"This is all thanks to you, Uncle, for bringing so much convenience to us ordinary people."

Watching the two go back and forth, Shang Yanfang couldn't help but admire Gao Jianguo in her heart; he was truly an ordinary but talented person.

After the two finished depositing the money, Shang Yanfang was still dizzy. She never expected things to turn out this way.

"Gao Jianguo, where did you get all those supplies?" Shang Yanfang had been curious about these supplies for a long time.

"After we eat, I'll take you to the mountains, and you'll see," Gao Jianguo said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Okay, let's order takeout and eat at home!" Shang Yanfang suggested.

“Okay, I’ll take you back to the courtyard, and then I’ll go to the state-run restaurant to get some food.” Gao Jianguo said, turning the car around and heading towards the courtyard.

"I want to go to the post office and call my parents," Shang Yanfang thought, wanting to call her parents to tell them that she was getting married.

"Then I'll take you to the post office first, and then I'll go pack the food."

"Okay, you can take me there!"

At the post office entrance,

"Gao Jianguo, I want to eat fish, sweet and sour pork, and rice," Shang Yanfang said, indicating the dishes she wanted.

"Okay, go ahead and make the call. I'll wait for you at the restaurant," Gao Jianguo urged the young woman in front of him.

"Then I'll go."

Shang Yanfang said something and ran into the post office.

This time, she went straight to the phone booth.

Just as Shang's father was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch, he heard the phone ring.

He put down his lunchbox and answered the phone.

"Hello, I am Shang Erqiang," Shang's father said in a very official manner.

"Father, it's me, Nannan."

"Darling, is something the matter?" Mr. Shang plopped down on the stool.

"Dad, I'm getting married."

"What? You're getting married? Didn't you just get engaged?" Mr. Shang was so shocked that his hand trembled, and half a glass of water spilled out.

"Yes, I'm going to marry the person I'm engaged to," Shang Yanfang explained awkwardly.

"My dear, let's not rush things. Let your mother and I go over and give you our advice," Shang's father earnestly advised.

"No, no need," Shang Yanfang said weakly.

"My dear, don't refuse yet. Your younger brother is also going to the countryside. I'll arrange for him to go with you then." After saying that, Mr. Shang hung up the phone.

Shang Yanfang was speechless. She wanted to say something more, but her elderly father hung up the phone.

After paying the phone bill, Shang Yanfang went to the Guoying Hotel to find Gao Jianguo.

She walked to the state-run restaurant and spotted Gao Jianguo in the queue. Just as she was about to go over and say hello, she saw the man take a penny out of his pocket and throw it on the ground.

Shang Yanfang stared at the man's bizarre actions with a head full of question marks.

The man patted the older man standing in front of him, and as the older man turned his head, he pointed to a penny on the ground.

Just as the man was picking up the money, he took the man's place.

Following the same method, Gao Jianguo spent less than two cents to reach the front of the line.

Shang Yanfang stared dumbfounded at the man's actions.

Shang Yanfang only walked over after the man had taken the first step.

"Yanfang, you've finished your call. It'll be our turn soon. Please wait a moment," Gao Jianguo said to the young woman who was walking gracefully toward him.

"No rush, I'm not very hungry right now."

"I'm not hungry, then have a White Rabbit milk candy first." Gao Jianguo said, taking a handful of White Rabbit candies from his pocket and handing them to Shang Yanfang.

Shang Yanfang only wanted to take one, but the man forced her to stuff a whole bunch of White Rabbit candies into her pocket.

"Grandma, I want to eat White Rabbit candy! I want to eat White Rabbit candy!"

The little boy eating nearby saw the White Rabbit candy in Shang Yanfang's hand and started acting like a brat towards his grandmother.

"Young lady, could you give my grandson some milk candy?" the old woman said to Shang Yanfang without any politeness.

"Grandma, do I know you?"

"Just give my grandson some milk candy, who cares if he knows him or not?" the old woman said, glaring at him with her triangular eyes.

"Auntie, this should be the first time we've met, so why should I give you my milk candy?"

Shang Yanfang retorted without hesitation, saying that although she was rich, she wasn't a fool who would give the old lady the milk candy she wanted.

If the old lady wants the dishes she'll order later, does she have to give them to her?

"Why? Because my grandson is a good catch. You good-for-nothing, why do you get to eat so well?" the old woman said viciously.

"Exactly, worthless trash doesn't deserve candy," the boy spat.

"Auntie, do you have a throne to inherit? And why does it have to be one with a target?" Shang Yanfang said, taking out a handful of milk candies.

"See, see, no matter how much you talk, you still have to give him the candy..." Before the old lady could finish speaking, Shang Yanfang fed Gao Jianguo a piece of candy.

They gave each person in line a piece of candy.

"Grandma, I want to eat! I want to eat milk candy too!" The little boy started crying again when he saw that Shang Yanfang had given away all the milk candy.
