Chapter 63



Han Jingchen rolled up his sleeves and moved the two boxes into the back of the jeep.

Jiang Ye was not idle either, so he picked up another box. When he lifted it up, he weighed it in his hand and found it was not light.

Even if Pei Zhi paints on a regular basis, can he use so many paints?

These pigments were specially sent to him by Han Jingchen after he called the capital. Basically, all the rare and expensive pigments on the market were collected and then carefully delivered to Pei Zhi.

"Brother Chen, you are too nice to Pei Zhi." Jiang Ye muttered softly.

This is even better than their comrades.

Although Brother Chen is usually quite righteous, he is a grown man after all. He will not be vague about big things, but he is not so meticulous and considerate about small things.

When Pei Manning was mentioned, Han Jingchen's stern face finally showed a hint of something strange. No one knew what he was thinking about. He narrowed his dark and narrow eyes, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Of course."

If he doesn't treat Pei Manning well, who else can he treat well?

Jiang Ye looked at Han Jingchen in surprise and said, "Brother Chen, just keep talking, why do you look a little bit sarcastic?"

However, Jiang Ye did not think much about it. People's thinking inertia is a very scary thing. In his opinion, Han Jingchen is usually as cold as King Yan. He only has training and tasks in his eyes and never thinks about women.

Therefore, even if he was different from others towards Pei Manning, Jiang Ye found it difficult to think that way. She just thought that he was taking care of Pei Manning a little more because of her age and the fact that she was an orphan.

Unfortunately, when they arrived at Yanzitun Alley, the gate was locked.

"Who are you?" Li Xiaohui, the daughter of Li's wife, looked at the two of them curiously.

Every time Han Jingchen and Jiang Ye came, she was at school or playing with the 께 sisters. This was the first time she saw them.

Seeing that she seemed to come from the next yard, Jiang Ye asked, "Hello, Zhi, do you know where Pei Zhi went?"

It was Pei Manning again. Li Xiaohui curled her lips and said unhappily, "What else can you do? Are you going to the garden party?"

Early in the morning, Pei Manning hurriedly ate breakfast, put food and water in the bowls of Zidan and Baiye, and went to the nearest park with Mrs. Xu and the others.

When I was walking down the main street, I happened to see a group of men and women in an orderly line, holding red flags and large banners, participating in the May Day parade. Both sides of the street were crowded with people watching the excitement.

The people in the front held up banners, and behind them were performance teams, including young pioneers wearing red scarves, male workers dancing the loyalty dance, female workers playing the accordion, and suburban farmers, all of whom were enthusiastically celebrating this glorious festival of proletarian unity and struggle.

"Good!" The crowd applauded from time to time.

The whole street was filled with smiles on everyone's faces. Pei Manning was infected by the positive, exciting and enthusiastic atmosphere, and she couldn't help but laugh along with everyone else.

This was a hard, simple, yet hopeful era, and everyone was in high spirits.

"Xiao Pei, come quickly, don't leave and get lost." Mrs. Xu squeezed in the crowd, pulling her grandson's arm, and turning back from time to time to pull Pei Manning up.

She was no longer worried about Pei Manning.

At Xu's age, her eldest grandson was already six or seven years old, her daughter was married, and her sons had joined the army. In fact, it was not an exaggeration for Pei Manning to call her aunt, but here almost all unmarried girls were called sisters, so Pei Manning just called her sister-in-law.

But her grandson also loves Pei Manning and Sister Pei, and anyway, the family members are now talking about their own things, so there is no need to argue too much.

In terms of age, Pei Manning was two years older than her daughter, so Mrs. Xu had always taken good care of Pei Manning. In addition, Pei Manning often sent her food, and if her family had any delicious food, she would also send some to Pei Manning. As a result, they became closer and closer.

At this moment, Mrs. Xu was like an old hen protecting her chicks. She held her grandson with one hand and pulled Pei Manning to her side with the other.

It was as if he was afraid that she would be kidnapped.

Pei Manning was good-looking, with black hair, snow-white skin, big black watery eyes, and bright red lips. She usually looked good in her grey clothes, not to mention that she was dressed somewhat neatly today.

Today she was wearing a light apricot-yellow short top with a blemish pattern and white apricot flowers stitched on it. She was wearing a navy blue skirt that reached her ankles and a pair of white shoes.

At this time, she couldn't wear tight clothes and pants that covered her chest, buttocks, and legs, and her skirt had to be below the knee, so her clothes and skirts were made loose.

Mrs. Xu didn't know how she did it. They were all the same style, but she looked different from others when she wore them.

Could it be because of fair skin? This kind of light apricot yellow clothing is very picky about skin color. If the skin is yellowish, it will easily make people look pale and thin.

But Pei Manning has fair skin that looks smooth and tender. Wearing clothes of this color, her skin looks even more white and creamy, charming, fresh and beautiful.

When we arrived at the park, there were already Peking Opera singers on the stage, singing Taking the Tiger by Strategy.

"Grandma, I don't want to watch this. I want to watch them guessing riddles and fishing!" Mrs. Xu's grandson stared at the other side with his big eyes.

"Behave yourself! What's so interesting about fishing?" Mrs. Xu patted him on the back.

"I won't! I'll go."

"You're looking for a fight, huh?"

Children aged six or seven are very naughty and don't care about these things. When Mrs. Xu was not paying attention, she let go of her hand and disappeared into the crowd.

"Xiaochuan!" Mrs. Xu was so angry that she jumped up and ran after him to bring him back.

Pei Manning saw a mobile vending machine nearby. These were personnel specially assigned by the state-owned stores. Today, they were pushing the mobile vending machine to various parks, and the vending machine contained snacks such as fruit peels and hawthorn slices.

She said hello to Mrs. Xu, and went to buy two bags of fruit peels and a bag of hawthorn slices. But when she came back, Mrs. Xu and the others were gone.

Pei Manning was a little confused. She looked around but couldn't see them.

"Sister-in-law? 께川!"

She searched further and further away, and after more than ten minutes, someone patted her on the back.
