Pei Xueli took the handkerchief from Pei Yuan's hand and wiped his sweat, then thanked her with a pale face, "I really appreciate Comrade Sui Sui."

Gou Suisui shook his head and smiled: "It's just a small favor, Uncle Pei, you're too polite."

After letting Pei Xueli have a good rest, Gou Suisui went back to their shed with his grandparents.

The old couple Gou Liming only then realized that Gou Suisui had gained a new master overnight, and that master was Old Qin.

For a moment, the old couple felt helpless.

Gou Liming stared at Gou Suisui, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Lu Manhua sighed: "Sui Sui, becoming a disciple is not a small matter. Why didn't you tell me this morning? You have to offer tea."

But in this environment, forget about the apprenticeship ceremony, but the apprenticeship tea is still necessary, and the proper etiquette cannot be abolished.

There was boiling water on the stove, so Lu Manhua asked Gou Suisui to get some tea leaves and could only make a cup of tea in a small bowl.

Gou Suisui went to call Old Qin over, and Gou Liming invited Old Qin to sit upstairs.

Gou Suisui took the tea from Lu Manhua and handed it respectfully to Mr. Qin.

After Mr. Qin drank the tea, the apprenticeship ceremony was completed.

Gou Limin looked at the now graceful Gou Suisui and said, "Suisui, you must respect your master from now on. Once a teacher, always a father."

Lu Manhua nodded in agreement.

The old couple knew that Old Qin had not spoken much in recent years and had little contact with the people in Qingchuan Farm. It was only last year that their family, Sui Sui, used the excuse of thanking Old Qin for speaking for them to pull people over to eat together.

Otherwise, Mr. Qin would have no interaction with them.

But after getting along with him, I realized that Mr. Qin was actually just a person with a cold appearance but a warm heart.

He is not heartless, he just has been in trouble.

As for what happened, since they had all been through the same thing, Gou Liming and the others naturally knew it all and would not ask questions or touch anyone's sore spots.

Old Qin is about the same age as the old couple. Now that his granddaughter has become his apprentice, Old Qin's later years will not be too bleak. At least he and they can be considered a legitimate family.

Old Qin's eyes were a little red, but everyone pretended not to see it.

The next day, Gou Suisui had breakfast at the farm in the morning and then went to the black market to find Hu Yang.

Hu Yang took her to Director Hu's house.

The government compound is not far from the black market, which may be what is called the darkest place under the light.

Director Hu's house is the second to last room on the left side of the compound, and a thick curtain is used at the door to block out the cold air.

Having greeted each other, Huyang lifted the curtain and pushed the door open to go in.

Hu Yang looks a bit like Director Hu, except that Director Hu has a bit more majesty between his eyebrows, his nose is wider, and his face is more square.

There is a fire wall in the house, so it is naturally very warm.

Director Hu was wearing a thin sweater. When he saw Gou Suisui, there was a look of scrutiny in his eyes.

Although I had heard Hu Yang talk about it a long time ago, Gou Suisui was a very young girl.

But this was the first time he saw it, and Director Hu was still a little surprised.

He didn't expect that Gou Suisui, who was so young and beautiful, looked weak and frail, and didn't look like the kind of person who would be brave enough to do anything.

This really proves the saying that you can't judge a book by its cover, and you can't judge the depth of the sea by its depth.

Director Hu smiled and said, "Is this Comrade Gou Suisui?"

Gou Suisui looked calm and nodded casually: "Director Hu."

Director Hu saw that she was not afraid at all and was so calm and composed. He muttered a few words in his heart, but his face was very calm: "Sit anywhere."

Huyang consciously took a cup and poured tea for himself and Gou Suisui. Seeing that his uncle's cup was empty, he also filled it.

Director Hu took a sip of tea before speaking, "I heard from Hu Yang that Comrade Gou Xiao wanted to discuss something with me?"

Since last year, he has wanted to meet Gou Suisui in person.
