Hearing Lin Yue say she believed him, Cang Yu felt as sweet as if he had eaten honey. This was the first time he had truly felt that Lin Yue genuinely believed him, not the kind of defensive belief he had shown before.
Lin Yue looked at Cang Yu's smiling face, which resembled a chrysanthemum, and felt somewhat puzzled.
This person has been acting increasingly strange lately.
...
The next day, the two had just finished breakfast and were about to rest for a while before going out to find Secretary Chang when the doorbell rang.
The doorbell, which rarely rang before, has been ringing unusually frequently these past few days.
Cang Yu came out to open the door as usual, pulled open the sliding panel, and saw two elderly people standing outside.
The two people outside were Professor Qin and his wife, the same elderly couple from the family Lin Yue had previously traded antiques with.
I don't know why the two of them came here.
"Good morning, Mr. Cang. We are very sorry to have disturbed you. However, Ms. Lin helped us before, and we would like to come and express our gratitude to her. I wonder if it would be convenient for Ms. Lin to let us meet?" Professor Qin asked with a smile.
Professor Xu also had a big smile on his face, and his eyes were full of love as he looked at Cang Yu.
Cang Yu touched his nose, feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at like that, and simply nodded, saying, "Please wait a moment, I'll go ask her."
Although they knew everyone outside, since they wanted to see Lin Yue, they still had to ask for her opinion first.
Seeing Cang Yu return without anyone with him, Lin Yue asked, "Who came over just now?"
People who come to her are usually acquaintances, and even if they don't know each other, they've already left, so she just asks casually.
"It's Professor Qin and Professor Xu. They said they wanted to come and thank you for helping them before. They're still waiting outside. Do you want to see them? If not, I'll go and tell them." Cang Yu replied immediately.
"Professor Qin and Professor Xu?" Lin Yue asked curiously.
Their relationship was transactional. At most, she was reminded of her parents by the fact that the two had a good relationship, so when she saw Professor Xu's leg, she stepped in to help.
I even asked for their wedding rings in return for helping them, so what's there to thank me for?
Besides, it's strange that you're thanking me now instead of before.
“Yes, it’s them,” Cang Yu replied again.
"Let's go take a look!" Lin Yue replied, checking the time.
There was no time to entertain them now, so they decided to go out and find out what was going on. They set off immediately.
Upon entering the room and opening the door, Lin Yue saw Professor Qin carrying a bag of eggs, and the two of them looking at her with friendly smiles.
"Professor Qin, Professor Xu, what brings you here?" Lin Yue asked.
Although she had heard from Cang Yu that the two had come to thank her, she still wanted to ask again.
The couple is already struggling financially. If they bring eggs now, what will they do in the future? Aren't they going to wait for their son and grandson?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown.
“Ms. Lin, we two old folks didn’t really have a chance to thank you before. Now that my son is back, and we live right next door to you, we can finally express our gratitude. So we came over to bring you something to show our appreciation. If it weren’t for you, my husband’s leg would never have gotten better.”
The two old folks were able to wait for their son to return thanks to Lin Yue exchanging them for those antiques that were worthless in the apocalypse; otherwise, they probably would have starved to death.
Moreover, Lin Yue also treated his husband's legs. The young woman lost out big time trading those gold rings for his husband's two healthy legs, so she had to come here specifically to thank him.
“Yes, Miss Lin, if it weren’t for you, I would be paralyzed. We came here specifically to thank you,” Professor Xu echoed.
If her legs hadn't been cured, she might have passed away on her own so as not to be a burden to her husband. How could she have waited for her son to come back? She should really thank him.
There's nothing good in this apocalyptic world, except for these eggs, which are somewhat presentable.
Lin Yue looked at the two of them, showing no intention of accepting the eggs.
It turns out that Professor Qin's family moved in next door yesterday, so the neighbors next door are considered "acquaintances".
I had only thought that the two of them were unusual, but I never expected that their son would be a soldier, and a soldier of a high rank.
At this time, soldiers are required to remain stationed in their current location, and it is very difficult for them to be approved to move. The fact that their son can return now means they have exceptionally strong connections.
However, no matter how strong other people's connections are, it doesn't matter much to her; their relationship is just a transaction.
"Professor Qin, Professor Xu, this is a normal transaction, so you don't need to come and thank me. Please take the things back and eat more to nourish yourselves."
The two of them had been depleted of their health due to lack of food, and it wouldn't be easy to recover in a short time. Eggs and other such foods were rare now, making them a perfect opportunity to replenish their bodies.
“Miss Lin, that’s true, but you were clearly at a disadvantage in that transaction. We both feel really bad about it. Please accept this!” As he spoke, Professor Qin handed the eggs in his hand to Lin Yue.
"Yes! Miss Lin, please accept it!" Professor Xu was anxious when he saw that Lin Yue really didn't want to accept it.
They had been planning to thank Lin Yue properly when their son returned, but now they've been rejected at the very first step.
This girl is really genuine.
"Professor Qin, Professor Xu, really, there's no need. It's just a transaction between us, you don't need to take it seriously." Lin Yue took a step back, her refusal of the gift quite obvious. "Of course, if you two are here to exchange for your wedding rings, this bag of eggs isn't enough."
Lin Yue spoke in a serious tone, basically saying that she just didn't know how to accept things.
"Professor Qin, Professor Xu, if you have nothing else to do, we need to go out again. It's freezing cold here, don't get sick."
Seeing that Lin Yue was truly unwilling to accept it, and that she was in a hurry to leave, the two had no choice but to give up.
"Alright, you guys go ahead with your work. We'll head back now. If you need anything, feel free to come to us, and I'll have my son take care of it for you."
"Go back! Professor Xu's leg still needs to be properly cared for; it's best if he doesn't come out in this kind of weather," Lin Yue said, dismissing him.
The two had no choice but to go back first.
I didn't even get to express my gratitude, and I ended up delaying what they needed to do.
"Old man, tell your son tonight that if Miss Lin ever has any difficulties in the future, please help her as much as you can." This kindness must be repaid.
“Okay! Let’s talk about it together,” Professor Qin agreed.
The two supported each other and slowly walked back.
Lin Yue didn't hear what the two were saying. After seeing them enter the neighboring courtyard, she and Cang Yu took the two wolves and drove off in a small truck to find Secretary Chang.
I thought retrieving the plane would be a bit complicated, but it turned out to be surprisingly easy, without any problems.
Secretary Chang even thoughtfully provided her with a small oil drum to hold the fuel for the helicopter, fearing that a large oil drum wouldn't be enough. The helicopter's fuel tank was also filled with fuel, with no adulteration whatsoever, which pleased Lin Yue greatly.
Secretary Chang is a person you can get along with.
After loading the fuel, the two followed the original plan: Cang Yu flew the helicopter, and she drove the small truck out of the base.
