Chapter 6 Vanishing Cream
Chen Zhu remembered that the man who saved her on the train was called Huo Jinzhi.
Is there something wrong with his body?
Chen Zhuyi wanted to repay his savior very much. When he heard it, he immediately took note of it in his mind and knocked on the door. The sound in the house stopped and came out again after a while.
"Come in."
Chen Zhu pushed the door open and went in.
Commander Lu just hung up the phone and looked up to see Chen Zhuyi. Seeing that it was someone he didn't know, he spoke in a polite and distant tone.
"What can I do for you?"
Chen Zhu shook his head.
"Hello, Commander Lu. My name is Chen Zhuyi, and I'm here to visit you today."
Commander Lu sat up straight the moment he heard the name, looked at Chen Zhuyi's face carefully, and his eyes gradually became moist.
"You are Shen Nan's child! You have grown up so much, and you look so much like your mother. I held you in my arms when you were a child, and I just told your aunt that I would invite you to dinner in the evening!"
The position of commander is one of high power and influence, with many people watching over her. Even the slightest movement could be reported. When Commander Lu invited her to his home for dinner, Chen Zhuyi was already very touched.
"No need, Uncle Lu. I can eat at the educated youth point. I came here just to say hello. I still have to pick up the package, so I'll leave first."
Commander Lu looked very pity-filled, completely different from his previous appearance.
"What kind of trouble are you, kid? Your father and I are sworn brothers, and you are my niece. It's my duty to take care of you. You must stay tonight. You look so thin. I'll ask your aunt to make you some chicken soup later!"
The final word was given, and Chen Zhu felt warm in his heart.
Although they were not related by blood, these uncles treated her like family, while her real relatives wanted to skin her alive and drink her blood.
There was still some time before dinner, so Chen Zhuyi still had to go get the package and go back to the educated youth center to tell them that he would not be eating.
After refusing Commander Lu's request for someone to accompany him, Chen Zhu was in a dilemma and repeatedly stated that he could really do it alone and didn't need any special treatment before he was allowed to leave.
When they arrived at the post office, Chen Zhu gave his name and the postman took out a large package, signed for it and left.
Chen Zhuyi has more than one package. She asked Aunt Wang to mail them separately. The next one will probably arrive in the next few days.
This makes it easy to hold and doesn't cause any eye-candy.
He specifically asked for a large snakeskin bag and dragged it all the way back to the educated youth site.
Huang Cuicui's seat had already been made. She was sitting on the bed, fiddling with her things. When she saw Chen Zhuyi coming back, she deliberately coughed twice, then picked up a pair of small flower-patterned earrings and held them up, afraid that Chen Zhuyi would not see them.
Chen Zhu saw it, but she didn't want to pay attention to it. She dragged her sack back to her bed and started packing.
Huang Cuicui was a little annoyed when she saw that Chen Zhuyi didn't ask any questions. Liu Zhaodi, who was standing next to her, immediately ran forward when she saw this.
"Sister Cuicui, your earrings are so beautiful!"
"Of course! This is the most fashionable jewelry in Beijing right now! And these!" Huang Cuicui pointed at the clothes spread out on the bed: "Each of these is at least ten yuan!"
Liu Zhaodi widened her eyes and cried out in disbelief.
"Ten dollars!"
Liu Zhaodi's appearance greatly satisfied Huang Cuicui's vanity. She lowered her head and rummaged through her things, rummaging through them and found a faded necklace. She handed it to Liu Zhaodi with reluctance.
"This one is for you. I bought it at the department store. I can't cook, so you can cook for me when it's my turn to cook next time!"
"Okay! Sure!"
Liu Zhaodi took the necklace curiously and put it into her pocket, and became even more attentive to Huang Cuicui.
Chen Zhuyi didn't care about these things, but Ye Xumei in the next bed snorted and said three words. Chen Zhuyi didn't hear clearly, but he roughly knew what they were.
The mattress and quilt prepared by Aunt Wang were both brand new. You could feel the softness and cotton inside. Chen Zhu casually put the remaining things on the table and turned around and said.
"I won't be home for dinner tonight. I have relatives here, so don't make my portion of the meal. Just let me know when you've arranged the cooking time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Cuicui sat up.
"Where are you going to eat? Do you have fine grains? Take me with you!"
Chen Zhuyi was very unhappy with the attitude that was taken for granted. It reminded her of her second uncle's family, who always spoke to her like this, with extremely indifferent tones.
"It has nothing to do with you." After saying that, Chen Zhu went out directly.
Huang Cuicui was so angry that she stood up. "I'm flattering you by being willing to eat with you! You're wearing rags, and the relatives you know can't be any better! I'm afraid they're just some villagers, how can they eat good food!"
When he said this, Chen Zhuyi had already walked away and didn't hear a single word.
Ye Xumei turned over with his eyes closed. Liu Zhaodi was curled up in her bed, still admiring the necklace. No one in the room responded to her. Huang Cuicui was so angry that she walked directly to Chen Zhuyi's bed, ready to make trouble. Her eyes suddenly fell on the bottles and jars on the table.
vanishing cream!
And it’s a brand for Shanghai women! This bottle is twice as expensive as other brands!
Chen Zhuyi can actually afford it!
Huang Cuicui clutched the hem of her skirt and looked at the vanishing cream, the jealousy in her eyes almost turning into substance...
This time when they arrived at Commander Lu's house, the little girl Yaya recognized Chen Zhuyi and stood on tiptoe to open the door for her.
As soon as Chen Zhu walked in, she saw Yaya still staring at her. She squatted down and put her hand into her pocket pretending to take something, but actually took out a White Rabbit milk candy from the space and shook it in front of the girl.
"Yaya, do you want to eat?"
The moment the White Rabbit milk candy appeared, Yaya never took her eyes off it. She bit her thumb and drooled uncontrollably, but she didn't take it. Instead, she looked at Aunt Lu who was picking vegetables.
A White Rabbit milk candy, not too expensive. Looking at the eager look in her little granddaughter's eyes, Aunt Lu nodded.
"Thank you, Sister Shen! You are so beautiful!"
Chen Zhu smiled, but before he could say anything, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
“Who’s good-looking?”
A tall, pretty girl picked up Yaya, turned her head and looked at Shen Zhuyi, with a hint of inexplicable hostility in her eyes.
"Who are you?"
When Aunt Lu saw the girl come back, she hurriedly stood up and introduced them to each other.
"This is the daughter of the comrade your father told you about a few days ago. Her name is Chen Zhuyi. She is the educated youth going to the countryside today. You are half a year older than her, so you can call her sister."
Aunt Lu turned her head and looked at Chen Zhuyi.
"This is my youngest daughter, Xie Lingyi. You two are about the same age, so you can play together in the future."
"Okay Aunt Lu."
Chen Zhu smiled and extended his hand: "Hello, nice to meet you."
Xie Lingyi didn't shake hands, but turned around and walked into the house with Yaya in his arms.
"Don't eat anything casually in the future. If you want candy, your aunt will buy it for you. Also, your aunt is the prettiest, you know?" The voice she spoke to Yaya was not lowered at all and reached Chen Zhuyi's ears.
