Chapter 34 Encounter

Tang Yue came out of Aunt Guihua's house and prepared to go to the commune. The snow on the ground was very thick and it was very difficult to walk. Fortunately, Tang Yue was not in a hurry and walked slowly. The snow on the ground was actually quite beautiful. Then she grabbed a ball of snow from the ground and stuffed it into her mouth. It tasted really sour and refreshing.

It took me nearly two and a half hours to reach the commune. I went to the house I had bought first, went in and rubbed some cream on my face, turning it into the pimpled face. I put 51 boxes of facial cream in the backpack, one of which was the one that the aunts had just tried. I kept this box for others to try, then walked out and locked the door.

Tang Yue went directly to the black market to find Brother Hu without Brother Qiang's help. She came to Brother Hu's yard and knocked on the door. Soon someone came to open the door, "Looking for Brother Hu." "Little Liuzi, come in directly. The boss of the Hu family said you can come in directly." Little Liuzi hurriedly welcomed Tang Yue in.

After Tang Yue went in, she found that Brother Hu was still sitting in the same position. Brother Hu always sat in this position every time he came. "Come on, brother, what did you bring this time?" "Brother Hu, this time it is a skin care product. The effect has been confirmed. It is very good and can also whiten the skin."

Tang Yue took out the used box, scooped a lump from it, handed it to Brother Hu, and asked him to try applying it on his face, "Brother Hu, this stuff is really effective, it's a secret recipe of the palace, you can give a few boxes to those who have bad skin but whose families are not short of money to try. Generally, their families are not short of money, and the people she knows are not short of money either. As long as it works, isn't this free publicity?"

"Brother, are you sure the effect is that good? Don't ruin your face", Brother Hu looked at the effect on the skin, it was indeed very moisturizing. A grown man usually doesn't pay attention to skin care, his skin was rough, but after using it, it is indeed not so dry anymore.

"Brother Hu, your last name is Tang, you can call Xiao Tang. It must have been tried. All the old ladies in our village are using it. It also has the effect of whitening. How about I leave a box for you, Brother Hu, you can use it for a week first, and then come back after a week. When the time comes, bring more with you. What do you think?"

"How about this, brother. It's not that I don't trust you. Take ten boxes first and give them to others to try out. If the effect is really good, you can buy more at that time. We can't sell many of this small recipe, but I have brothers in the provincial capital's black market, so we can sell whatever we can."

Tang Yue thought this was a good idea. She would let them try out the results in the next few days. By then, Uncle Li's one box might not be enough. After all, the provincial capital was so big, and Tang Yue had confidence in her stuff, so it would definitely sell out.

"Brother Hu, I'll give you these ten boxes, and you should use one box yourself, so that it will be more convincing." Although Brother Hu felt a little awkward for a grown man like him to use this, in order to make money, this sacrifice was necessary, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing that Brother Hu agreed, Tang Yue quickly took out ten boxes of various colors and handed them over. "Brother Hu, these are going to be sold for two yuan a box. When the time comes, tell them how rare this thing is. It is made with a secret recipe from the palace, so there will be no problem with no one buying it. Tell people to use it after washing their face in the morning and evening."

"I know. If the effect is really as good as you say, two dollars is not expensive, and the box looks beautiful too."

After agreeing with Brother Hu to come back in five days, Tang Yue left with the backpack on her back. She thought that she had been here for several months but had not yet been to the legendary scrap yard. This was really not right.

Tang Yue was walking on the road and wanted to ask for directions. When others saw Tang Yue walking by, they were so scared that they ran away. They had to ask from a distance, "I want to know where the scrap station is. Can you help me show the way?" Finally, a female comrade pointed in a direction. After taking a look in that direction, the female comrade thanked her.

Before going to the scrap yard, Tang Yue found an empty alley and cleaned her face, fearing that she would be not allowed in when she got to the scrap yard. That would be really embarrassing.

Following the direction pointed by the female comrade, Tang Yue walked all the way and finally came to a dead end. She didn't even see the scrap yard. That female comrade was not good. How could she lie to me? Finally, Tang Yue came out of the alley, but found that she was lost. She was almost there, so how could she get lost?

Half an hour later, Tang Yue was still wandering in the alley when a man came out of a house nearby. She quickly walked up to him and said, "Uncle, I'm lost. Can you take me out?"

The person in front turned around and said, "You are an uncle, do you think I look like an uncle?"

Tang Yue looked up quickly, the sunlight shining on him, he looked like a man walking out of the light, her heart was pounding, oh no, how could he be so handsome, even better looking than the current handsome boys.

Hearing his uncle's voice behind him, Zhao Shengrui turned around, and with just one glance, he knew that his mother remembered this person. Then he thought of his uncle and said, "You look like an uncle, do you think he looks like an uncle?"

Zhao Shengrui originally came to visit his retired comrade-in-arms. He was glad that he came, otherwise he would have missed it. "Zhao Shengrui, I am 24 years old this year, currently serving as a battalion commander in the army, unmarried, can I know your name?"

When Tang Yue heard what he said, her face instantly turned red. Although she had never eaten pork, she had seen pigs run. Moreover, he was handsome, as if he was grown according to her preferences. All love at first sight was just based on appearance. Tang Yue always knew that she was a person who was obsessed with looks. It was not easy for someone who looked the way she wanted to appear, so she would definitely not let him go.

"놖뇽 Tang Yue, I'm 17 after the New Year and still unmarried." After Tang Yue said this, she blushed with shame!

When Zhao Shengrui heard that the girl opposite was still unmarried, his heart was pounding with excitement. He looked at the watch, it was almost 12 o'clock, and he wanted to invite her to dinner, "Have you had lunch? It's past 12 o'clock now. Let me invite you to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."

Tang Yue also wanted to be reserved, but this was the first active man she had ever met, including the previous 26 years, and she didn't want to miss it. She blushed, lowered her head, and nodded gently.

If Zhao Shengrui hadn't been staring at the girl opposite, he might not have noticed that she nodded. The girl was too shy, and when she heard that she agreed, she jumped so fast that she felt like jumping out. She quickly tightened her face, afraid that the other party would see her nervousness, "Then follow you, go this way, follow you closely, and you won't get lost next time."

Tang Yue followed Zhao Shengrui out of the alley. There was always a step of distance between them, just right, not too far to make people feel strange, nor too close to cause others to gossip.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Tang Yue finally walked out of the alley and realized that she had walked in another direction.

Zhao Shengrui actually wanted to talk to the girl, but he didn't know what to say. If he had known that when he was in the army, he should have listened to other people's gossip. He didn't know if the girl would dislike him for being boring.

They soon arrived at the state-owned restaurant, and Zhao Shengrui asked Tang Yue, "Comrade Tang Yue, is there anything you would like to eat?"

Tang Yue herself was not picky about food. “Anything you order is fine.” Tang Yue was actually very nervous. As a stay-at-home girl who had been staying at home for several years, she had no experience and was afraid that she would not do anything appropriate and let others think she was a casual person.

"Then you wait over there and order some dishes," Zhao Shengrui was about to order some meat dishes.

Tang Yue sat on a stool in the corner, watching Zhao Shengrui ordering food in the distance. She thought he was really handsome, with red lips and white teeth. He didn't get tanned during his military service. Maybe square faces and upright looks were more popular this year, but Tang Yue liked Zhao Shengrui's kind of handsomeness that was a little naughty.

Zhao Shengrui ordered the dishes and sat down opposite Tang Yue. "I just ordered a few meat dishes. I don't know if you like them. Tell me what dishes you like next time."

After hearing what Zhao Shengrui said, Tang Yue's face instantly turned red. She tried not to be shy and pretended to be calm and said, "Anything is fine. I don't have any particular favorite food."

In fact, Tang Yue didn’t know how adorable she was in Zhao Chengrui’s eyes when she pretended to be calm. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. His love at first sight started with her appearance and ended with her nature.

"I'd like to formally introduce myself to you. I'm Zhao Shengrui, 24 years old, from Beijing City. I'm serving in the army in Qing City, and I came here to visit my retired comrades on vacation. I fell in love with you at first sight, and I hope to date you. I've never been in a relationship before, and you're my first, the one I want to marry at first sight. I wonder what your opinion of me is. I hope to exchange letters with you so that you can get to know me better," Zhao Shengrui said a lot of words nervously.

Tang Yue was very nervous when she heard Zhao Shengrui's words that sounded like a confession. What could be better than having someone she likes also like her? Tang Yue wanted to give it a try so that she wouldn't regret it even if they broke up.

"You are Tang Yue, your hometown is also Beijing. You are an educated youth who came here to work in the countryside. Your parents were also soldiers, but they both died. You also want to make a contribution to the country, so you came here to work in the countryside. I wonder if your family will accept an orphan as your wife."

"Don't worry, your parents are also soldiers. They are easy to get along with and will only love you more. You have three older brothers and eight nephews. Your mother will only like you more for such a lovely girl. She has always wanted to have a girl but failed. Your mother treats your sisters-in-law as her own daughters. She will also treat you well. Your sisters-in-law are also easy to get along with. You don't have to worry. Our family is very harmonious." Zhao Shengrui knew what Tang Yue was worried about and quickly dispelled her worries.

Hearing what Zhao Shengrui said, Tang Yue felt a little more relaxed. "Then let's give it a try." The blush on Tang Yue's shy face had not dissipated.

When Zhao Shengrui heard that he agreed, he was so happy that he wanted to go for a run outside, but he quickly restrained himself and said, "I swear in the name of the soldiers that I will treat you well in the future."

Just at this moment, the waiter interrupted Zhao Shengrui by saying, "The dishes are ready, come and serve them."
