Chapter 88

"These twenty big meat buns are for us to eat on the road."

"My favorite food is the big meat buns from this state-owned restaurant. I come here often."

"I'm going to go out and explore the world, and I don't know when I'll be back."

"I have to eat my fill before I leave."

Ma Yiyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiao Su is right, eat it."

"I'm also worried that you won't be able to eat it and waste the food."

Watching Su Qingci burying her head in the bowl and eating heartily.

Ma Yiyuan once suspected that he had met a scammer.

It's only been two days, and he's already made off with most of the cash he's earned from fraud over the years.

At this moment, even if the delicacies from land and sea were placed in front of him, he could hardly swallow them.

Imported watches 588, bicycles 180, perfume 18, leather sandals 11, various foods, vanishing cream, hair oil...

Ouch, his heart aches.

If you don't calculate it, you won't know. After calculating, he found that the food, drinks and things he bought in the past two days cost him almost a thousand yuan.

Ma Yiyuan remembered his biggest deal. He spent a whole month deceiving an old woman and only made seven or eight hundred yuan.

There was even a murder that time.

His vision gradually became clear.

When did I start to let down my guard against Xiao Su?

It was when she said with surprise that she looked similar to one of her relatives.

Or should we start with the limerick she recited?

"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, what are you thinking about?"

Su Qingci opened her palm and waved it twice in front of Ma Yiyuan.

A face full of worry.

"Eat quickly. We have to travel in the afternoon, so we need to eat enough."

"By the way, where are we going to catch the bus? Train or bus?"

"Can our bikes fit on there?"

"And I don't dare ask for a letter of introduction, or my mother will definitely find out."

"Everything from now on will be left to you."

Su Qingci looked at Ma Yiyuan with trust.

Her eyes are bright and curved, which makes people feel friendly.

Listen to the other party actively plan the next step.

The slight doubt that had just arisen in Ma Yiyuan's mind disappeared in an instant.

I thought to myself that maybe I was overthinking it.

The other person had a natural smile, spoke with a hint of excitement, and his face was full of anticipation for the upcoming journey.

There is even a hint of reluctance.

Her clear eyes showed that she was a simple girl who had never experienced the world.

As for the expenses in the past few days, it only proves that the other party has a wealthy family and is used to spending money.

To be honest, after investing so much money, Ma Yiyuan has already thought about retiring after getting the big fish and keeping Su Qingci by his side.

When Ma Yiden picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat.

There were ten pieces of pork and tofu on a plate, with two left, a quarter of the pork head still left on a plate, and half of the three-fresh soup in a large bowl was gone.

I can’t understand this little neck, pointed chin, and tiny body.

This is too much to eat.

No, no.

I have to get rid of this thing as soon as I leave here. If I keep it for a month or so, all my efforts over the years will have been in vain.

Ma Yiyuan ate his meal quickly, no longer pretending to be polite.

He had no doubt that if he was a little slower, the other person's bowl would be scraped clean.

After eating and drinking, Su Qingci waited at the door with 20 big meat buns.

After a while, Ma Yiyuan pushed the bicycle out from some corner.

"Let's go, Comrade Xiao Su, a better life is beckoning us."

"It's just right that everyone is at work now, so I quickly go home to get my things."

Su Qingci happily jumped onto the back of the bicycle and headed towards the textile factory’s residential area.

Ma Yiyuan waited at the door for a while, and then saw Su Qingci coming out carrying a large suitcase.

"So fast."

Su Qingci nodded.

"It's necessary. Let's go quickly so as not to be seen by acquaintances."

Ma Yiyuan examined the bag in Su Qingci's hand.

"Didn't you say there was a safe?"

"I got the keys last night, and all my stuff is dumped into my bag."

"That thing is heavy."

"Where are your 20 big meat buns?"

Su Qingci's face changed color. "I've left them all at home. Just treat it as the last time I show filial piety to my mother before I leave home."

"Hey~ Let's go, Brother Ma, let's go get your things first."

"When are we leaving? Do we need to buy tickets in advance?"

Su Qingci's tone was a little depressed.

With someone to accompany you to eat, drink and play, the days go by so quickly when you are well fed and well cared for.

She was about to go back to the production team to harvest corn, so how could she be happy?

Ma Yiyuan suppressed his inner excitement, and the other party's depressed expression made him feel that everything was safe.

If the other party does not show any reluctance, he will still be a little suspicious.

"Go to where I live and wait for me. I'll go buy the ticket."

"We're going to City G tonight."

The brand new bicycle carried Su Qingci through twists and turns, heading towards the old city in the east.

Su Qingci sat in the back seat, secretly spreading white lime on the roadside.

The car rode for nearly fifteen minutes before stopping at an old guesthouse.

There was only an elderly man at the front desk serving hot water.

Ma Yiyuan casually said hello and took Su Qingci upstairs.

"Brother Ma, there's a new guesthouse in the north of the city. The conditions there are much better than here. Why are you living in this shabby little place?"

"How can this small place, which is about to be evacuated, be worthy of your status?"

"Comrade Xiao Su, you don't understand this."

"The great leader taught us to be frugal and not extravagant."

"Although some of my expenses can be reimbursed by the government, I can't live an extravagant life, right?"

"So from now on, we can't be so extravagant like we have been these past few days."

He felt it necessary to brainwash Su Qingci about frugality from now on.

"Well, after I check out, we'll go straight to the train station."

Su Qingci was silent for a moment, her face full of worry.

"Brother Ma, do you know what time the train leaves?"

"It's not certain what time I can buy a ticket, but I have a cousin who works at the train station."

"What if I wait there too long and get bumped into by my cousin?"

Ma Yiyuan thought about it and decided that he definitely couldn't take this risk.

"or."

"Are you waiting for me in this guesthouse? I'll buy the tickets and come back. It's almost time. Should we go there on time?"

Su Qingci nodded quickly and said timidly.

"Well, I'm waiting for Brother Ma in the room. Brother Ma, you have to come back soon."

"I've never stayed in a guest house before. I'm scared to be alone."

Ma Yiyuan looked at the other person's face full of dependence on him, and a sense of vanity surged to the sky.

He comforted Su Qingci and took out the snacks he bought for her to pass the time.

Then he hurriedly rode his bicycle towards the train station.

Su Qingci stood on the balcony. After seeing the other party go away, she quickly opened the wardrobe in the room and dragged out a large suitcase.

She had just met the other person and took out an envelope from here when she left.

There was a delicate little lock about two fingers wide hanging on the brown cowhide suitcase.

Su Qingci waved her hand, and a pair of extra-large pliers for trimming green belts appeared in her hand.

With a click, the lock fell off.

Ma Yiyuan, who had just walked a short distance, suddenly stopped.

"Love poems, flowers, rosy dreams, and visions of the future—isn't this my usual routine?"

"Oh no, I'm afraid I've really met a scammer."

Ma Yiyuan's face tightened and he quickly turned the car around and drove back.
