Gu Yunyang thanked the other party and was about to offer to treat Yu Xiaobo to a meal, but Yu Xiaobo declined: "Forget it, let's skip the meal. But you can continue sleeping in my dorm. I've already told my colleagues, it'll only be a couple of days anyway."

Gu Yunyang will remember Yu Xiaobo's kindness.

In recent years, the ration of grain in cities will continue to decrease.

Gu Yunyang planned to wait until he arrived at the Red Flag Brigade, then find an opportunity to get some grain and mail some to his close friends.

It's a way to express my feelings and maintain relationships.

After Yu Xiaobo finished speaking, he patted Gu Yunyang on the shoulder: "It's okay, going to the countryside is fine. You can stay here, don't be shy."

Over time, friendships are forged through repeated interactions.

It's not about a day or two, nor is it about just talking; it requires concrete action.

Anyway, I don't want to stay in a guesthouse.

The guesthouses of that era were often inspected at night, so not only was it hard to sleep, but the environment was also far from pleasant.

In the evening, Gu Yunyang went out for dinner by himself, then went for a walk and packed up more than a dozen meat and vegetable dishes.

When Bai Shujun returned, his mother was shocked and immediately asked what had happened.

After listening to Bai Shujun's story, Bai's mother pondered for a moment, then found fifty yuan, put it in a red envelope, found a piece of pork belly and a pound of white sugar, went back to get a length of cotton cloth, and brought Bai Shujun to the police station.

However, they couldn't find the person. Bai's mother thought that as long as the gratitude was delivered, there was no need to see the person.

The other person's clothes aren't very nice; what if they take the opportunity to get close to me?

It's really hard to refuse someone from my own family.

Bai's mother had seen far too many people like this.

He immediately had Yu Xiaobo deliver the thank-you gift and left with Bai Shujun.

Yu Xiaobo watched from behind, shook his head slightly, and understood what Bai's mother meant.

"Based on my understanding of Gu Yunyang, this Bai mother really has a bad eye for people."

However, he accepted the gift without refusing it.

Gu Yunyang returned after finishing his meal.

He plans to visit the supply and marketing cooperative and the department store again tomorrow to stock up on some goods.

I had just returned when I saw Yu Xiaobo standing at the dormitory entrance.

Gu Yunyang said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Yu, you're here. Why don't you go in? This is your dormitory."

Yu Xiaobo smiled and said, "It's nothing. I came here this afternoon because Bai Shujun's mother brought her to thank you. This is a thank-you gift. When she saw you weren't here, she took Bai Shujun and left. You understand what that means, right?"

Gu Yunyang was taken aback, then grinned and said self-deprecatingly, "Of course, it's to buy out a favor. Actually, this was just a small favor, I didn't even think about it. But since she brought it, I'll accept it."

Gu Yunyang spoke frankly, and Yu Xiaobo showed no sign of looking down on him.

On the contrary, they felt that Gu Yunyang was very frank, and that such a person was definitely suitable to be a friend.

However, he could understand Bai Shujun's concerns, as she was a girl from a scholarly family.

Understanding does not equate to acceptance.

He was closer to Gu Yunyang, so he was naturally angrier.

"Okay, you can rest now, we still have to be on duty."

Gu Yunyang packed his things and went inside, only to find that there were quite a few items.

A piece of pork belly, about two pounds, is three-layered, with alternating layers of fat and lean meat.

Gu Yunyang thought that he could use this piece of pork belly to make dumplings tomorrow and treat Yu Xiaobo to a meal.

A pound of white sugar is a precious commodity. We only take a little when we have important guests and make a sweet soup to serve them.

Fifty yuan, let's not even talk about it, it's still a huge sum of money.

Although it may be insignificant to the Bai family.

But Gu Yunyang's help is probably only worth this much.

If Bai Shujun's shoulder hadn't been torn off, and her snow-white shoulder hadn't been exposed, she probably wouldn't have gotten those fifty yuan either.

Although he was indeed a little uncomfortable, Gu Yunyang accepted it.

"Why not take advantage of it? I wasn't planning on getting involved anyway."

"Oh ho, there's still a length of cotton cloth left. That's enough to make a few clothes. It's a pity I'm not very good at tailoring. Oh right, I need to pick up the cotton coat I ordered before I left tomorrow."
