Chapter 40 Packing
Seeing that he was serious, Xu Sui didn't hesitate and simply accepted it generously, giving him a sincere smile.
"Thanks."
In this era of scarcity, no one dislikes eating.
Especially with snacks, she's not a picky eater and is happy as long as she has something to eat.
Qin Yunzhou was slightly taken aback, momentarily stunned by that bright smile.
Xu Suisheng has always been very beautiful, with a pretty face, which he has always known, but he never thought that her pretty face would affect him in any way.
But now, he seemed to be drawn to her sudden smile, something that had never happened before.
Qin Yunzhou withdrew his gaze, lowering his eyes to conceal the emotions within.
"I can take care of myself now, you can go back now."
"Okay, I'll be going now." Xu Sui, carrying a bunch of food, smiled and said goodbye to Qin Yunzhou before turning and leaving the ward.
Qin Yunzhou looked up and watched the figure gradually disappear into the distance until it was separated from the ward by the door and vanished from sight.
The bright smile on the young girl's face was still vivid in his mind.
After leaving the military hospital.
The sun hadn't set yet, and the orange-yellow sunset painted the sky, illuminating most of the day.
There was plenty of food, which was quite eye-catching in this year of famine.
Xu Sui packed everything into a cloth bag and carried it back to the cultural troupe's dormitory.
I resigned today, so I can no longer stay in the dormitory. There are still many of her things in the dormitory.
Especially the clothes and shoes, there are a lot of them, and they cost a lot of money. When converted into money, it is definitely a considerable amount.
Even Qiuju and Duyue, whose families were well-off, were extremely envious of her clothes and shoes, and kept asking her if she had any plans to sell them.
Xu Sui had no such idea; selling it would be too much of a loss, and she'd rather keep it for herself.
Anyway, she now has the 600 yuan dowry Qin Yunzhou gave her, plus the extra money she earned from refining scrap metal, so she's not short of money for the time being.
Xu Sui plans to move to the family compound today.
It had almost everything, just a little simple. No new furniture had been bought before, so it looked a bit old. But she wouldn't stay there for more than a few days before going back to her hometown.
If we want to make proper arrangements, we can only wait until Qin Yunzhou returns to the army a year later.
Back at the cultural troupe's dormitory.
Xu Sui pushed open the door and went inside.
Du Yue and Qiu Ju were both there, each holding a dark cornbread bun and eating it with warm water.
"Sui Sui, are you moving away?"
"Actually, there's no rush. You can stay a few more days. Or we can help you move tomorrow since it's the weekend. It's getting late, so why don't you stay here for another night?"
The two men saw that she had just returned and started packing her things, and immediately guessed her plans.
Xu Sui put down the cloth bag in her hand, rummaged through it, found a boiled egg and handed it to the two of them, "You two can each have half, thank you for speaking up for me before."
"As for moving things, there's no need. I can manage on my own."
"You guys continue eating, I'll pack my things."
Upon seeing the boiled eggs, Du Yue and Qiu Ju subconsciously swallowed, but both refrained from reaching out to take them.
"...You should eat it yourself, this is enough for us."
Even getting an egg in their performing arts troupe's canteen was a rare treat.
It should be said that during famine years, food is very scarce, and most people would not exchange money for food; they would usually exchange grain for grain.
In the past, villagers in the nearby rural brigades would exchange eggs with them, but now if they want to exchange eggs with them, they can only do so with coarse grains. Without coarse grains, no one will trade with them even if they offer ten times the price.
Xu Sui smiled, peeled the egg, cut it in half, and placed it in each of their hands.
"It's okay, I have other food."
"You've spoken up for me several times before, but I haven't had a chance to thank you yet."
"Even though I won't be in the performing arts troupe anymore, you can still come and visit me at the family compound."
In business, you need to make many friends; the more friends you have, the more paths you can take.
She'll come back here someday; who knows, it might become another connection.
"...Of course, of course, we're friends." Qiu Ju and Du Yue were slightly embarrassed.
"You pack your things. Once you're done, the two of us will help you move them to the family compound. Many hands make light work, and the three of us can move them all in one trip."
They had not only spoken up for her before, but had also ridiculed her.
If Xu Sui hadn't been so forgiving, they wouldn't be sitting together and talking so amicably right now.
But to be honest, Xu Sui is not only beautiful and kind-hearted, but also generous.
The watches and secondhand bicycles they bought from her before were both very good, and people around them even asked if they were brand new.
They made a huge profit by buying such good stuff at such a low price.
Xu Sui didn't refuse again, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then thank you both."
"You guys eat, I'll pack my things."
After saying that, she got busy.
There was a huge pile of clothes, at least four or five dresses of different colors and styles, several pairs of different styles of leather shoes, and all sorts of hair ties.
Face cream, clam oil for rubbing hands, etc.
It would have been better if she hadn't tidied up. But once she did, even Du Yue, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but feel envious. Especially when her gaze fell on a red and white checkered dress with exquisite workmanship, if she hadn't still had some sense of reason, she would have wanted to reach out and touch it.
"Sui Sui, did you buy this dress from someone in Haishi?"
She remembered this dress.
It's a trendy new style from Haishi, where her family lives. Her parents bought a similar one for her younger sister, Du Yan.
Du Yan wrote a letter specifically to show off.
This dress cost almost half a month's salary, and she just couldn't bear to buy it.
But her parents bought it for Du Yan without saying a word, and told her to keep it a secret from her, so that she wouldn't feel resentful or unfair if she found out.
However, Du Yan did not listen to them. In order to show off, she wrote to them and told them all this.
Xu Sui glanced at the red and white checkered dress she had just finished tidying up, thought for a moment, and nodded with a complicated look in her eyes, saying, "Yes, I bought it through connections in Haishi."
The original owner had no connection with Haishi. This dress was bought in Haishi and sent to the original owner by Gu Shu through his comrade.
There was also a pair of little leather shoes that Gu Shu bought.
To be precise, most of these clothes and shoes were bought with Gu Shu's money and tickets.
She almost forgot about it if we didn't tidy it up.
Xu Sui thought about it and decided to put them all away.
It took a while to tidy up.
Things are finally packed.
With the help of Du Yue and Qiu Ju.
Xu Sui packed all her luggage and moved it to the family compound.
The girls in the performing arts troupe are all beautiful.
As soon as the three of them arrived at the family compound, they attracted the attention of many people. Many of them recognized Xu Sui, greeted her a couple of times, and glanced at her several times.
Upon arriving at their new home, the three went inside and closed the door, cutting off the others' view.
The group breathed a sigh of relief.
Qiuju put down what she was holding and patted her chest. "Those people were looking at the three of us like we were rare treasures. They were really looking at us like we were some kind of wonder."
Anyone with a slightly weaker constitution would probably be terrified by their overt and covert gazes.
