[Era Hoarding & Daigou App] Upon waking up, Su Xiaoxiao transmigrated into a book, finding herself in the impoverished 1970s. Her family of six had only two able-bodied workers, so poor that th...
Chapter 128 Comrade Zhou's Peculiar Hobbies
Su Xiaoxiao was shocked: "How did you know?"
Zhou Cheng's expression instantly turned to disappointment upon hearing this. As expected...
No wonder Comrade Su never replied to his letter. It turned out that he already had someone he liked.
"I'm sorry to bother you. I won't bother you again."
Zhou Cheng finished speaking, and then said unwillingly: "Can I ask who you like?"
He had no other intentions, he just wanted to know what kind of man could make Comrade Su fall in love.
Su Xiaoxiao bared her teeth and said, "Of course the person I like is the God of Wealth whom I respect the most."
Zhou Cheng: “…”
Well, there is nothing wrong with this answer. I guess there is no one in this world who doesn’t like the God of Wealth.
Su Xiaoxiao winked at him playfully: "Just a joke, haha."
"By the way, I have something for you."
She suddenly remembered the money she had never had the chance to return.
He hurriedly began to rummage through his bag.
She didn't know when she would meet Zhou Cheng, so she could only carry the money with her, hoping to find a chance to return it to him.
Hearing her say this, Zhou Cheng suddenly became a little nervous. He didn't expect that Comrade Su would take the initiative to give him something.
He was very curious, but he suppressed his inner excitement and waited for Su Xiaoxiao to give it to him.
Su Xiaoxiao rummaged through her bag for a long time. Because there were too many snacks in it, it took her a while to find the bundle of banknotes tied with red silk.
Just as I was about to take it out, something fell from the bag to the ground.
Looking down at what had fallen at her feet, Su Xiaoxiao cursed inwardly, "Fuck!"
How did these flowery shorts fall out? Will Comrade Zhou think I'm a pervert?
Just as she was wondering whether she should pick it up, Zhou Cheng picked up the flowered shorts on the ground before her.
It’s a very sexy floral design, with a picture of a man picking his feet printed in the center.
For a moment, Zhou Cheng suspected that he was blind. What the hell was this eye-catching thing?
But when he thought that this was a gift specially given to him by Comrade Su, he suppressed the shock on his face and forced a smile: "Thank you, Comrade Su, I like this gift very much."
After saying that, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao with a red face. He didn't expect that Comrade Su cared about him so much and knew his size after only meeting him a few times.
Su Xiaoxiao!!!
She stared at Zhou Cheng with a perverted look. She didn't expect that Comrade Zhou, who looked quite aloof, had such... strange hobbies.
Zhou Cheng felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and his wheat-colored face turned even redder. "Su...Comrade Su, are you free later? I'd like to treat you to a meal."
After saying this, her fingers unconsciously twirled the flowered shorts in her hands, looking like a young wife.
Su Xiaoxiao originally wanted to take back the eye-catching flowered shorts, but when she saw Zhou Cheng couldn't let go of them, she suddenly didn't know how to start the conversation.
But it was really unnecessary to treat her to a meal just for a pair of shorts, after all, she was planning to throw them away secretly.
Looking at the pair of shorts that he was twisting in his hand, a drop of cold sweat slowly slid down Su Xiaoxiao's forehead: "Um... Comrade Zhou, there's no need to eat. Don't be so polite. Also, these banknotes you gave me last time..."
Before he could finish his words, an anxious male voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Captain, something bad has happened over there."
“Bang, bang, bang…”
A burst of gunfire could be heard faintly from a distance, and Zhou Cheng's shy expression was instantly covered with frost: "What's going on?"
The young man whispered something to him, and his face immediately turned dark.
"Comrade Su, I'm sorry I can't treat you to dinner today. This is for you."
Zhou Cheng stuffed a stack of banknotes into her hands without saying anything, turned around and jumped into the jeep. The hem of his military uniform lifted up a little with the movement, and she clearly saw the flowery shorts stuffed into his trouser pocket.
He waved at her in the car: "Comrade Su, see you next time!"
The jeep sped away in a cloud of flying dust, and Zhou Cheng's voice drifted over on the wind.
Su Xiaoxiao slowly lowered her head and looked at the extra stack of bills in her hand, her expression gradually froze.
No, she was originally going to return the money to Zhou Cheng, so why did she accept it? It's over, now it feels even more unreliable.
Su Xiaoxiao rode her bike home feeling very depressed, but when she reached the village entrance, the bike chain fell off, so she had to push the bike home.
When she was almost at the door of her house, a figure jumped down from the low earthen wall next to her, which scared her.
Don’t you know that scaring others can kill them?
Su Xiaoxiao patted her chest and wanted to see which bastard scared her. When she looked up, she was met by the idiot with a smile on his face.
Because of the boy's sarcasm towards Zhang Guifang this morning, Su Xiaoxiao was deeply impressed by him.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you're back?"
Erlang rubbed his hands, with a flattering smile on his face.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
If I remember correctly, she seems to be three years younger than Erlangzi. How can he have the nerve to flatter his old face and call her sister?
"What's up?"
"How do you know?"
Erlangzi widened his eyes in surprise. He really wanted to ask Su Xiaoxiao for help with something.
Su Xiaoxiao: “…”
This person almost had "I have something to talk to you about" written all over her face, and this morning she was helping her to squeeze Zhang Guifang everywhere, obviously trying to please her.
After all, as far as he could remember, although the two were from the same village, they didn't have much in common.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, this is what's going on. Could you please buy me a can of your Hong Kong City milk powder? My sister just gave birth and has no milk, and the baby is crying with hunger at home."
Milk powder is a precious commodity these days, and it is hard to buy even if you have money.
Many families can only give their children rice soup if they have no milk after giving birth.
Rice soup is easy to digest, but its nutritional value is limited and it doesn't satisfy your hunger.
After the child drinks it, it is basically gone in one pee.
Su Xiaoxiao was naturally happy to take on business that came to her doorstep.
Erlangzi saw that she didn't respond immediately, thinking she was embarrassed, and said with a little disappointment: "Sister Xiaoxiao, if you are too embarrassed..." Before he finished speaking, he heard Su Xiaoxiao say: "No problem, I will buy it for you."
"ah?"
Erlangzi suspected that he was hallucinating, otherwise why did he seem to hear Su Xiaoxiao agree very readily?
"The internal price is eight dollars and fifty cents a can. No overseas remittance coupons required."
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you are not kidding me, are you?"
That is a hot commodity in Hong Kong and is not something that ordinary people like them can buy.
Not only did Su Xiaoxiao agree to buy it for him, but she also didn't ask for overseas remittance coupons.
"Do you want it or not?"
She frowned unhappily. Why was this man still dithering?
"Yes, yes, of course."
As Erlangzi spoke, fearing that she would regret it, he quickly took out a large unity note and stuffed it into her palm: "Sister Xiaoxiao, thank you so much."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "We are all from the same village, why be so polite."
She put the money in her bag and said, "Come to me tomorrow night to get it."
"So soon?"
"If you think it's too fast, come back to me in a week..."
Before she could finish, Erlangzi hurriedly shook his head: "No... no, Sister Xiaoxiao, my nephew is still waiting to drink milk, the sooner the better."
While the two were talking, they had already arrived at the door of the Su family. Before Su Xiaoxiao even entered, she heard the sharp and harsh voice of her second aunt Zhang Guifang.
