Chapter 29



The final exam will last for two and a half hours.

The exam started at 7:00 AM and lasted until 9:30 PM. The questions on the exam paper were relatively easy for Su Yu. She picked up the exam paper and began writing furiously.

Outside, Wu Guozhi was starving, his eyes rolling back in his head. "Your sister won't be out until after nine o'clock, and by then all the state-run restaurants will be closed. There won't be any food left."

“Yes,” Su Dazhi nodded honestly.

Wu Guozhi swallowed hard. "Aren't you all hungry?"

I'm not hungry.

Su Dazhi shook his head. He was so full. And he wanted to have some white flour dumplings to eat when he got home tonight.

Life is so comfortable these days. I wish I could live like this every day.

Su Zhi said, "Brother Guozhi, why don't we go eat together? My sister hasn't come out yet, so we'll definitely have enough time to eat in a short while."

Wu Guozhi asked, "Did you bring any money?"

Su Zhi shook his head, "No money? How could we possibly have money? Our eldest sister takes all our money and puts it in her savings account. She doesn't let us spend money recklessly. Brother Guozhi, if you really end up with my sister, you should also give her your money to save. My sister is very good at managing money."

Wu Guozhi looked at Su Dazhi with shining eyes, "You also deposited your money with your older sister?"

"Mm." Su Dazhi nodded.

Wu Guozhi was overjoyed. It turned out Su Yu wasn't as foolish as he thought; she did know how to save money for herself. The two able-bodied men in the Su family had given their money to Su Yu—how much money must she have saved?

"Guozhi, let's go eat. My sister will be here a little while."

Wu Guozhi patted his pocket. "Why don't we wait for your sister?" Su Yu has money, after all.

"Why are we waiting for my sister? Her exam is still a long way off, and by the time she comes out, the shops will be closed. Let's go eat now, and we can even bring some back for my sister."

In the past, Wu Guozhi would never have been willing to part with it. But now it's different; he's discovered that Su Yu has money.

Given Su Yu's past generosity towards him, it's not impossible for him to find an opportunity to get Su Yu to spend more money on him.

He'll fool these two first, and then when he and Su Yu actually get together, they can continue to use their salaries for him.

He looked at Su Dazhi and Su Zhi, "Okay, let's go eat first."

Su Zhi was immediately delighted and pulled Su Dazhi away.

Su Dazhi said, "Well, I've already..."

"Big brother, come on, give Guozhi some face." Su Zhi deliberately tugged at his sleeve.

Asking someone to treat you to a meal is a way of giving them face.

Su Dazhi then realized what was happening and obediently followed behind. He was just a little worried about the pot of wontons at home. Oh dear, why are all these delicious things crammed together?

Sure enough, life has gotten better and better since I started following my sister. This is the second meal I've had with her today.

Once inside the state-run restaurant, Su Zhi clamored for braised pork.

"Forget about the meat, I didn't bring any meat coupons today."

Wu Guozhi quickly said, "Let's just have some rice and some stir-fried vegetables."

“That’s no fun eating like that,” Su Zhi said unhappily. “When we go out to eat with my sister, we have to eat meat every single meal.”

"..."

"Take out your ticket, and we'll exchange it. There must be someone who has meat tickets but can't bear to eat them." Su Zhi said, taking the ticket into his pocket.

When the ticket was taken out, there were also four ounces of meat coupons inside.

"...I remembered it wrong."

"How could you get something so important wrong? This is a meat ticket! Brother Guozhi, you definitely don't like meat." Su Zhi chuckled, then tossed the ticket onto the counter. "Bring meat, braised. Brother Guozhi, pay up."

Wu Guozhi stared at the hostage with bloodshot eyes, his heart bleeding.

This was all he had left this month. He had secretly come up with a way to save it, not giving any to his family. He was planning to take Sun Min out for a meal when it was her birthday.

Once the meat was on the table, Su Zhi and Su Dazhi picked up their chopsticks and started eating. "Brother Guozhi, thank goodness you came, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to eat meat today. Oh, and let's bring some for my sister too. Let her have some meat too."

When Su Yu finished the exam, she felt completely relaxed.

Oh my, I'm finally going to become a vocational school student.

After going to Teacher Xu's office and saying goodbye, Su Yu hurried to the school gate.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw my two mentally challenged younger brothers standing by the door, one on each side, like door gods.

"Sis, you've finished your exams! How did it go?" Su Zhi asked excitedly.

Su Dazhi also ran over nervously, "Sis, it's okay if you don't do well on the test, just keep studying."

"I don't know how to talk!" Su Yu touched her chest, rolled her eyes, and said, "I did very well on the exam! By the way, did Wu Guozhi treat you to dinner?"

"We ate! You wanted to give Brother Guozhi face, so we did. We ate a lot. We even had meat." Su Zhi said happily.

Su Dazhi nodded and rubbed his stomach. "Sis, we've already had our second meal tonight." He felt so full for the first time that he almost threw up. He didn't realize that being overeating was so uncomfortable.

Su Zhi touched his mouth. "It's just that Brother Guozhi left later, otherwise I would have brought you a copy. He had to go back first because of an emergency. I couldn't bring it."

What's the rush? I was just scared by these two edible creatures.

Su Yu patted Su Zhi on the shoulder, "Well done, you should give Comrade Wu Guozhi some face. I'm a union official, after all. If he wants to date me, he has to treat you to a meal, otherwise other people will expect him to be a kept man."

Su Zhi suddenly realized and said, "Sis, Guozhi used to live off you a lot."
