Xie Yunshu was even more confused now. She pursed her lips and said, "Our house is quite small..."

It can’t accommodate high-ranking figures like them.

Shen Subai raised his eyes and looked at her: "I helped you, but I can't even have a meal?"

Xie Yunshu shook his head repeatedly: "That's not what I meant. I just wanted to invite you out for dinner. Captain Shen, you are a good person, and I must thank you."

"Don't be so anxious to make a conclusion." Shen Subai chuckled, and his serious face became a little more cheerful: "You can say that you are not a bad person."

In fact, he has well-proportioned facial features, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. However, his eyes always look a little sharp when he looks at people, and he doesn't smile much, which makes people feel oppressed involuntarily.

At least that's how Xie Yunshu felt...

But since everyone else had said so, it would be unfair for her to continue to push them away, so she rubbed her nose and said, "Then make me some fried pork slices with chili peppers, or whatever Captain Shen likes to eat?"

She said she was giving them a home-cooked meal to thank them, but they also brought gifts. Although two dishes were enough for three people, it seemed that she was being too stingy.

Chen Subai saw through her thoughts at a glance and smiled in his heart: "Don't bother, just eat anything, you're not picky. Wait until you buy a suitable motorcycle tricycle, then you can treat me to a meal at the restaurant."

It is definitely not okay to feed him with just one meal.

Li Fenlan had already started working. Xie Yunshu cleared her throat. She felt that Captain Shen was uncomfortable sitting on the stool in the room. She turned on the TV and made small talk: "Captain Shen, why don't you watch TV?"

Chen Subai hummed, and skillfully removed the cover under the stove that blocked the air: "Let's steam the rice first."

He said this as a matter of course, but it made Xie Yunshu even more confused. He knew that Captain Shen was a good person, but he shouldn't be so down-to-earth, right? Who would entertain guests and let them cook?

She quickly bent down to fiddle with the stove: "No, no, I can do it myself. You sit and watch TV."

A strand of long hair floated down from the ear and swept across Shen Subai's forehead. The two were quite close to each other, and he could smell a very faint scent of soapberry, the same as the smell when Li Fenlan was washing clothes just now.

Chen Subai sat still, letting the long hair sweep over him and causing a silent itch. He lowered his eyes and his Adam's apple rolled: "Xie Yunshuzhi, I'm a little hungry because I didn't eat breakfast. Can we cook faster if we cook together?"

Captain Shen didn't eat and came to her to talk about the motorcycle tricycle? Thinking of what he just said, he had been looking for her residence for most of the day and had been waiting for her here for half a day, Xie Yunshu felt a little guilty and labeled him a good person in her heart...

She quickly fixed the stove and said, "Then you steam the rice and go cut the meat right away."

Originally, I thought the atmosphere of this meal would be awkward. After all, Captain Shen is such a serious person and doesn't look good at speaking... But what Xie Yunshu didn't expect was that although Shen Subai didn't talk much, he was very polite. He would find topics to talk to Li Fenlan on his own. He was not very talkative, but he would not let the atmosphere get awkward.

After dinner, Shen Subai helped clean up the dishes before putting down his rolled-up sleeves and putting on his down jacket again: "It should be about time now, shall we go over now?"

Li Fenlan happily chased people away: "Go and do your work quickly, there are many things to do at home."

After leaving the tube building, Xie Yunshu went to push the bicycle, and Shen Subai stopped her: "If you buy it today, where will you put it?"

Xie Yunshu frowned and said, "Can't we just put it in the back of the truck?"

"A motorcycle tricycle is not like a pedal tricycle. The back bucket is very high. Are you sure you can carry such a heavy bicycle by yourself?" Shen Subai's eyes fell on Xie Yunshu's 28-inch bicycle, then he turned back to look into her eyes and said with certainty, "You probably don't have that much strength. A bicycle is heavier than the insulated box that holds lunch boxes."

Xie Yunshu is always very energetic. Although her arms are thin, she actually has some muscles. However, a 28-inch bicycle is not only heavy but also big. She definitely cannot lift it by herself.

But Captain Shen is so tall, and his arms look pretty thick, so he should be pretty strong, right?

Shen Subai added calmly: "I don't have that much strength."

Xie Yunshu had no choice but to ask: "How do we get there? How about taking the bus?"

Chen Subai pointed to his bicycle and said, "There is no direct bus over there. If you don't mind, I can take you there. Of course, you are a girl after all. If you have any psychological burden, you can think of other ways."

He spoke very seriously, and there was not a trace of evil in his expression.

Xie Yunshu felt that if he showed a bit of concern, he would seem hypocritical, so he immediately said firmly: "I don't mind. I used to ride other workers' bicycles in the packaging factory. We are all good friends. Our revolutionary friendship is pure!"

Shen Subai curled the corners of his lips: "Then please ask Xie 땢zhi to get in the car."

It took half an hour to get from the tube building to the machinery factory. Xie Yunshu sat at the back, holding the bicycle seat tightly with both hands. She was indeed too embarrassed to touch the corner of Captain Shen's clothes. The man in front of her had his down jacket bulged by the wind, and his broad back looked like a small mountain. She sat there obediently, feeling a little subtle in her heart.

In fact, apart from her deceased father and Xie Mingcheng, she had never ridden any man's bicycle, not even Lu Zhixing's.

Lu Zhixing worked in the hospital and was very busy at work, so the two of them went out together very rarely. Except for Zhou Dong's visit to Lu's house, they had never even been to the supply and marketing cooperative department store.

Even if they were going home, they would each ride their own bicycle. She had seen Lu Zhixing taking Zhou Xinyue out more than once, and his reasons were all very justified.

Because Zhou Xinyue had experienced such suffering when she was a teenager, she felt sorry for her misfortune. She couldn't ride a bicycle, and Lu Zhixing wanted to help her.

With the word "help", everyone praised the Lu family for their noble character and gratitude. If she cared about it, she would be narrow-minded and unreasonable.

It’s a pity that the Lu family has achieved what they wanted by helping others get to bed, right?

Thinking of this, Xie Yunshu had to admit that she was not so generous. Seeing Zhou Xinyue and the Lu family in trouble, she was so happy that she even set off a few more firecrackers...

"When we get to the machinery factory, don't worry about the price. I will negotiate with them."

Shen Subai's indifferent voice came from the front, and fell into Xie Yunshu's ears along with the sun's wind: "A conservative estimate is about 1,700 yuan. If everything goes well, it can be reduced to 1,500 yuan. What is your ideal price?"

Seventeen thousand is already a very ideal price. Xie Yunshu is not the kind of person who would ask for more: "Captain Shen, it's all right. I believe you."
