Pinduoduo connects the past and present; the wildest young commander and his entire army help me bar

Yu Yu naturally sensed the unspoken emotions hidden in his words, but she didn't think much of it, assuming that Qin Lizhi simply felt he had gotten the better deal.

She replied without any hesitation, "You're welcome."

"Qin Lizhi, I understand your thoughts. You feel that I have solved your urgent problem, so you feel that you cannot repay me, and even feel that you have taken advantage of me."

"This kind of thinking shows that you are grateful and a person worth getting to know better, so I'm determined to be your friend."

"And do you remember what I told you before? The Yuan Shikai silver dollars we traded for the first time helped me pay my tuition and also slapped the bad guys in the face, giving me back the confidence and courage to live in this world. If we're being honest, I'm the one who should be grateful."

Her voice was clear and sweet, and she said sincerely, "Thank you, Qin Lizhi. You have given me the courage to live on my own again. You are like a second parent to me."

That last sentence gripped Qin Lizhi's heart like a giant hand, and he couldn't help but murmur, "...Alone?"

Yu Yu spoke up, "That's right, did I forget to tell you? Since my family went bankrupt, I've been all alone. Because of the bankruptcy, I almost couldn't even pay my tuition. But thankfully, I had your thirty-six Yuan Shikai silver dollars, which helped me get back on my feet."

Qin Lizhi's heart skipped a beat, and his Adam's apple bobbed heavily.

He couldn't help but think of what Yu Yu had told him.

She had a boyfriend before, but he got together with her girlfriends after her family went bankrupt.

Now listen to what she's hearing: her boyfriend and girlfriends not only betrayed her, but also stood by and watched her suffer when she couldn't even afford her tuition.

How helpless she must have felt.

As he thought about it, Qin Lizhi felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

"Are you...are you alright now?"

He felt uncomfortable with his vague concern, but he still blurted out this awkward expression of concern, detached from reason.

"I am fine, not only fine, but very fine."

Yu Yu took a breath, her voice full of pleasure, "You simply can't imagine how good I am, Qin Lizhi, money really is a wonderful thing."

Yu Yu didn't linger on the topic and quickly changed the subject, "OK, let's not talk about these things anymore. I'll deliver the water pump and pipes over now, and don't forget to give me the corresponding gold and silver jewelry."

"no problem."

Qin Lizhi couldn't quite explain his feelings. He had an urge to suffer in Yu Yu's place, yet he was acutely aware of how absurd this idea was.

After all, they live in completely different times and spaces. He can be anxious about what she's anxious about, but he can't feel what she's in pain.

Just as she can be quick to help him and offer him solutions and policies, she cannot personally take charge.

But that urgency was like gas fermenting in a bottle for a long time; eventually, it would burst through the lid.

Just a second before Yu Yu was about to hang up the video, he finally spoke.

"Wait a moment--"

Yu Yu looked at him with innocent, doe-like eyes, completely bewildered.

He swallowed hard. “Yu Yu, I truly consider you a friend. I know that we are separated by time and space, and my ability to help you is limited. But if possible, I would like to be your ‘tree hole.’ Is that how you mean? When you are in a bad mood, if you can’t find a confidant to talk to, I am willing to be that tree hole and listen to everything in your life.”

Yu Yu was taken aback, but her deer-like eyes clearly lit up.

"Alright, then I won't hold back. Qin Lizhi, be prepared to be harassed by me anytime, anywhere."

Her playful joke made Qin Lizhi's eyes light up, and it felt as if a huge flower had bloomed in his heart in an instant.

So this is what it feels like to be overjoyed.

Qin Lizhi's eager expression amused Yu Yu.

She yawned widely and said, "I'm not talking to you anymore, Qin Lizhi. I'm a little sleepy and need to catch up on my sleep. See you next time, bye-bye."

After saying that, the video call ended.

The pretty little face was no longer in the air, but Qin Lizhi stared at the spot where the video call had taken place for a long time.

He let the turbulent heartbeat beneath his chest engulf him like a tidal wave.

Because a transaction was about to take place, Qin Lizhi strode over to the warehouse.

Almost the instant his feet stepped into the warehouse, countless goods in packaging boxes poured out with a clatter.

When Zhang, the adjutant, arrived after hearing the order, he saw Qin Lizhi bending down and using a Swiss Army knife to open one of the boxes.

"This is a water pump?"

Lieutenant Zhang asked with surprise.

Qin Lizhi straightened up and grunted, "Have Xing Xingwen study how to use these water pumps, then connect them to the generator and put them into use as soon as possible. This will save a lot of time and increase the efficiency of farming."

"Great! This is a good thing. It's only because the goddess understands our young marshal that she has solved our urgent problems time and time again."

"Young Marshal, it's like this, those of us who have met the Goddess Fairy before have discussed it and feel that since we've always benefited from her, we can't leave without showing our appreciation. So we've decided to give the Goddess Fairy a gift next time. What do you think?"

Qin Lizhi's heart stirred slightly.

A feeling of something he cherished being coveted arose spontaneously, causing him to narrow his eyes involuntarily.

"What are you planning to send as a gift?"

Lieutenant Zhang chuckled twice, scratched the back of his head, and said, "A roughneck like me naturally wouldn't understand the thoughts of a goddess, but we specifically asked Dr. Xing, who said that since she's a goddess, she probably likes pretty jewelry."

"So we plan to buy a piece of jewelry for our goddess after we leave Henan."

"Even if we didn't guess the goddess's preferences and thoughts correctly, it's still a token of our collective goodwill. I'm sure someone as kind as the goddess wouldn't refuse. By the way, young marshal, would you like to prepare one as well?"

The dangerous aura surging in Qin Lizhi's handsome eyes intensified, but unfortunately, Zhang, the adjutant, was oblivious to it.

"Is this the time to be thinking about these things? If you have the mind, then get to work in the fields."

When Zhang, the adjutant, spoke, he considered a million possibilities, but he never expected that his suggestion would be met with such a barrage of angry rebukes.

He became anxious, "Young Marshal, you're wrong about that. When have I not worked? Besides, Henan is facing such a great calamity, how can I sit idly by?"

"But doing work is one thing, and it doesn't conflict with sending my heartfelt wishes to the goddess!"

His explanation earned him an even more dangerous glance from Qin Lizhi.
