Siheyuan: My life is my decision

Chapter 15 Uncle?



After the third uncle finished eating, he staggered home with the remaining wine.

After He Yuzhu watched He Yuzhu clean up the house, he said he would take her to the streets.

"Brother, really?"

"Of course, I'll buy you some clothes, and I'll buy myself a towel, toothbrush, etc."

"Then what are you waiting for, brother, let's go"

He Yuyu pulled He Yuzhu and ran outside.

"Wait a minute, you asked me to lock the door."

"Brother, why do you have to lock the door?"

These days, the emphasis is on not picking up leftovers at night and keeping doors open, so basically no house locks its doors.

"You forgot, there is a thief in our courtyard."

"Lock your room too"

As he said that, He Yuzhu handed He Yuzhu a lock.

"Brother, is this okay?"

He Yuyu took the lock, but still hesitated

"What's wrong? Do you have to wait until something is lost before locking the door?"

"Okay, brother"

The brother and sister locked the door and left the courtyard.

Supply and Marketing Cooperative, He Yuzhu came here with his sister He Yuyu

He Yuyu hasn't been here for a long time. The last time he came was when her brother He Yuzhu wasn't obsessed with Qin Huairu.

"Yu Yu, what do you think of this dress?"

He Yuzhu took He Yuyu to the clothing counter. There were some work clothes, simple floral cloth clothes, and some Chinese tunic suits.

"Brother, the clothes here are too expensive. Why don't you forget about it? Buy me two feet of cloth and I will make it myself."

"That's okay. I bought it as promised. It's okay. I'm not short of money now."

"Brother, you have been helping the Jia family before, and you haven't saved much money. You still want to marry a wife."

"You have spent all your money now, what will you do next?"

He Yuyu insisted not to buy it. He Yuzhu looked at his sensible sister and complained in his heart that the stupid Zhu before was really nothing.

Such a good sister, I don’t know how distressed I am

"Okay, when I get rich, I will buy you lots and lots of beautiful clothes."

"Okay, brother, then I'll wait for that day."

"you girl"

"hey-hey...."

He Yuzhu finally pulled two feet of floral cloth for He Yuyu. The style of the cloth was chosen by He Yuzhu himself.

He made up all the daily necessities himself, then lined up at the counter to check out.

When it was finally his turn, an argument broke out on the counter

"Girl, you don't have enough money, you're missing fifty cents."

A middle-aged aunt on the counter, wearing a salesperson's clothing unique to this era, said to a little girl who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old with two braids.

"Why is there fifty cents missing? I counted it carefully before I came here. It's quite a lot."

The little girl blushed when she was told that, but she still argued

"Then how do I know? You see, I am missing fifty cents."

The salesperson spread the money he just collected and the tickets on the counter.

The little girl looked at the money on the counter and counted it carefully again. It was indeed fifty cents missing.

"Hey, I asked you whether you want to buy it or not. If you don't buy it, don't waste everyone's time. There are still so many people queuing up behind you."

"Buy, I buy"

The little girl replied hurriedly, then touched herself all over and didn't take out a penny.

"Forget it, I think you have no money either. Just put your things back and take the money."

The salesperson said

The little girl was so anxious that she almost burst into tears.

But there's nothing you can do about it. In this era, you can buy a lot of things with fifty cents. It's not like now. If you buy something outside for less than fifty cents, just talk to the merchant and they'll give it to you for free.

In this era, no one is so generous as to say that for free, 1 cents can provide a family with all the food for one day.

猪肉当时每斤是6~7角钱,青菜等蔬菜价格只有1~3角,冰棒是3分钱一根后来涨到5分左右,

It can provide all the food for a family for one day. If you are a relatively frugal family with a small number of people, you can get 1 cents of meat, 3 cents of vegetables, and 1 to 1 cents of rice a day. A little more than 2 cents can completely supply a day's food.

Besides, this is still a state-owned enterprise, so I won’t give you any less.

"Wait a moment"

He Yuzhu, who was standing behind, spoke.

The little girl looked back and was startled by He Yuzhu's appearance. He looked like an uncle.

"I'll give this fifty cents to her."

"Brother, what are you doing?"

He Yuyu quickly pulled He Yuzhu

"It's okay. Everyone out there encounters difficulties. It doesn't hurt to help."

(Here, the author will tell you that when I was working in Shenzhen in 2008, mobile phones did not have the online payment function. Once I went out to play and lost the money I brought with me, and I didn’t even have the fare when I came back because it was too far from the factory dormitory. , I had to fight for two hours on the bus, so I had to bite the bullet and explain to the bus driver. The bus driver refused to agree. When I was about to get off the bus, an older brother stopped me and helped me pay the fare. Later, I often took that bus. Bus, unfortunately I never met that big brother again. I am very grateful to that big brother. There are still good people in this world) (These are not counted in the main text)

As he said that, He Yuzhu took out fifty cents and put it on the counter.

The salesperson looked at the little girl, then at He Yuzhu, blinked, and silently collected the money.

The little girl looked at He Yuzhu and found that He Yuzhu was smiling at her. Her face turned red and she immediately lowered her head and said in a very small voice.

"Thank you, I will pay you back"

If He Yuzhu hadn't strengthened his body, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

He Yuzhu smiled and nodded.

“It’s only fifty cents if you don’t use it.”

"I will definitely pay you back"

After saying that, the little girl picked up her things and ran out of the supply and marketing cooperative.

He Yuzhu looked at the little girl who ran out and said, "You don't even know who I am or where I live. Why are you returning this?"

However, He Yuzhu didn't take it to heart. After handing the things to the salesperson, he handed the money and tickets to the salesperson.

After the salesperson finished calculating the accounts, he took his things and slowly walked out of the supply and marketing cooperative with his sister He Yuyu.

"Brother, tell me, do you have a crush on that girl?"

"What are you talking about? I don't even know them."

"Brother, don't be embarrassed. If you can't find someone to ask, you'll know."

"Go, go, don't make trouble"

"Humph, I didn't cause any trouble."

He Yuyu made a face at He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu smiled and shook his head, and continued walking out with He Yuzhu.

"Brother, look, it's the girl just now."

As soon as He Yuzhu walked out of the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, He Yuzhu took He Yuzhu's arm and said

“It’s really awesome”

He Yuzhu looked in the direction pointed by his sister and found that the girl was standing not far away, with a bicycle next to her.

"Brother, look at her coming"

The little girl noticed He Yuzhu came out and walked up to him pushing his bicycle.

"Sorry, I just forgot to ask, where do you live? I will pay you back the money next time."

"Girl, you really don't need it, it's only fifty cents."

"No, I have to pay you back."

The little girl said stubbornly

"Girl, since you said thank you, and you are waiting for me here now, I feel that the fifty cents are worth spending."

"But..."

What else does that little girl want to say?

"It's nothing but, that's settled"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said

"Thank you, uncle"

The little girl bowed gratefully to He Yuzhu

"Uncle? Hahaha..."

After He Yuyu heard this, he laughed on the spot regardless of his image.

He Yuzhu looked at his sister who was laughing so hard that her head was covered with black lines and she looked embarrassed.

"Did I say something wrong?"

The little girl was a little overwhelmed by He Yuyu's smile.

"This is my brother, he...he is in his 20s, not even thirty yet. You call him uncle, hahaha..."

"Ah...I'm sorry, brother, I really don't know, I'm sorry."

Listening to He Yuyu's explanation, the little girl's face turned red again after she had just recovered.

"It's okay, it's just that I was too anxious to grow up."

He Yuzhu touched his face and said mockingly

"I am so sorry"

The little girl bowed again guiltily

"Okay, I don't blame you. No need to apologize anymore. You should go back early. It's getting late."

"We should go back too"

As he said that, He Yuzhu waved to the little girl and pulled He Yuzhu, who was still laughing, away.

“This guy is really interesting”

The little girl looked at the He Yuzhu brother and sister walking away, then got on her bicycle and left the supply and marketing cooperative.
