Lu Ze nodded, his eyes gentle, and hummed in agreement.

Yu Yao was moved to tears and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lu Ze. Don't worry, I'll finish washing quickly and won't take up too much of your time."

After saying that, he quickly went to get an enamel basin and clothes.

Lu Ze reminded her, "The first towel on the shelf in the bathroom was bought for you."

Yu Yao responded and quickly ran to the bathroom to close the door.

"Lu Ze, if you're hungry, eat something. I'll be ready in a bit, very quickly," Yu Yao assured her.

Lu Ze found a stool and sat down, keeping watch over Yu Yao.

In those days, not many people could afford to stay in guesthouses. Most of them were cadres on business trips or wealthy families like the Lu family. Ordinary people couldn't bear to spend one yuan a day on accommodation.

At that time, a sesame flatbread cost only three cents, and a pound of pork cost only seven or eight cents. Staying at the guesthouse for one night could buy more than a pound of pork and more than thirty sesame flatbreads.

For many families, this is not a small amount.

Yu Yao was able to move in because she had a letter of introduction from the brigade and a marriage certificate.

Now, only their family is staying on the second floor of the Dongfeng Guesthouse. Everyone else is downstairs, so it's very quiet upstairs.

The sound of running water could be heard quietly in the bathroom.

The sound was so clear that it was as if you could feel the water hitting your skin through the sound.

Lu Ze, in particular, has exceptionally sensitive hearing.

Just as she said, Yu Yao finished washing up quickly and came out, her gaze falling on the table.

Why haven't you eaten anything?

She walked over, picked up a sesame cake, and tasted it. "Lu Ze, aren't you going to eat something to fill your stomach? This sesame smells so good."

Lu Ze glanced at her and sighed softly, "How could I possibly eat in that situation just now?"
