"Secretary Song, this is my only scarf, I can't go without it!"
After shouting, Su Yu looked in the direction Secretary Song had left and kicked away a pile of snow, wishing that the person she kicked was Secretary Song himself.
"A young man who has never seen much of the world has the nerve to comment on whether someone is beautiful or not. With his pale face, he's not popular in this day and age!"
Su Yu exhaled a breath of hot air, feeling that it was pointless to argue with a young man.
Then I rearranged my red scarf.
It's incredibly beautiful. She even wants Liu Mei to knit her a hat.
Wear the whole set next time you eat out.
Secretary Song rode his bicycle home. Although secretaries don't get much rest, someone like him who was sick could benefit from some rest. It wasn't about getting plenty of rest, but rather about avoiding contact with his superiors and preventing them from catching the virus, which would disrupt their work.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Song's mother wearing her reading glasses and looking at political documents.
As a retired cadre, Song's mother never gave up on her studies.
"Dong, why are you going out again? It's so cold, you should rest."
Secretary Song rubbed her face. "I made an appointment with them. I can't not go."
"With a gay man or a lesbian?"
"Both men and women," Secretary Song answered honestly.
Upon hearing "female comrade," Song's mother smiled and asked, "What does a female comrade do? What's she like? Is she highly conscious of her duties?"
"...Secretary Song shuddered at the thought of Su Yu. "She's not very conscientious, and she especially loves to eat well. She always eats the most at meals. She also likes to dress up, wearing bright red and green. She especially loves to enjoy life and wants to buy a bicycle."
Song's mother looked at her son. "Dong, there's a saying, 'Birds of a feather flock together.' I didn't believe it before, but now I do. As your mother, I have to ask you to teach yourself and those around you to always remember to be frugal."
Secretary Song: "..."
"But seriously, is there really nothing between you and this woman?"
"Really not!" Secretary Song emphasized each word, striving to be as convincing as possible.
Can that be considered a lesbian?
Upon hearing this answer, Song's mother lowered her head and continued reading.
She doesn't interfere too much in her son's affairs. Despite his tendency to be temperamental, he's a very independent person.
...
Su Yu returned home and received care from her entire family.
Some poured tea, others poured foot bath water. Su Dazhi then proactively placed the stove next to her. Su Zhi then peeled the roasted sweet potatoes and placed them next to her.
Su Yu soaked her feet and ate and drank, and her mood finally improved a lot.
"Dazhi, get more materials lately."
Su Dazhi nodded in agreement without hesitation.
Su Yu then turned to Liu Mei and said, "Your family has already ordered the grain. Tell them to prepare the money. I calculated it will cost fifty or sixty yuan. Can they afford it?"
"Sister, do you need food coupons? I don't have any." Liu Mei said.
"Any ticket will do." Su Yu took a sip of water. "They're all relatives, how could I mistreat them?"
Hearing Su Yu's words, Liu Meigao's face flushed.
Right now, every household is struggling to get enough food. With large families, including the elderly and children, there simply isn't enough to eat. And who knows how long this situation will last? Being able to buy large bags of grain now gives us peace of mind.
Liu Mei couldn't sit still; upon receiving the news, she wanted to go back to her parents' home.
Su Yu was still hoping to make money off the Liu family, so she readily agreed.
As soon as Liu Mei stepped into the yard, she saw Aunt Liu tending the stove, and the two exchanged glances.
Just as Aunt Liu was about to speak, Liu Mei snorted at her and walked away without paying any attention.
Aunt Liu: "..."
When they arrived at Old Liu's house, the Liu family was also gathered around the stove. However, Liu's wife and brother were not back; they were still working at the factory. As frontline workers, it was impossible for them to have weekends off; they all had to take turns resting.
This time, Liu Mei felt confident and, tilting her head back, said, "Mom, don't bother, I have something important to tell you."
"Oh," Liu's mother wiped her hands and sat down at the table. Even Liu's second brother and sister-in-law, who usually didn't care about other people's business, came over.
Liu Mei looked at the door. "Dad, close the door."
Old Liu frowned as he went to close the door. "Big White, what's the big deal?"
"Can you meet anyone about the food issue?"
Liu Mei, chin in hand, said, "My sister-in-law brought us some grain. We don't need grain coupons; other coupons will do. But we need to prepare the money—sixty yuan."
Old Liu's family was immediately stunned.
Liu's mother said, "Meizi, sixty yuan! How much grain could that buy?"
Liu Mei wasn't pleased. "Who cares how much? It'll definitely be enough to last until next year. My sister-in-law's grain is three times more expensive than on the market, almost the same as on the black market. But you can't buy much on the black market, but you can buy a lot here. With this heavy snow, go buy some grain yourself and see how much you can get."
That's true.
Even on the black market, it's hard to buy things. Things are different now than before.
It's a bit pricey, but the fact that they're willing to help me buy it is a huge help.
"Meizi, why is your sister-in-law helping us?" asked Liu Daqiang, the second brother.
“My sister-in-law is a good person,” Liu Mei glanced at them, “So, stop always saying my sister-in-law is bad. I didn’t even ask, and she helped me. Aren’t you all good?”
Liu Ersao said, "Does she even know how to make money?"
"Bang—" Liu Mei slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Fine, I'll tell my sister-in-law not to buy any more things when I get home. She's caused a problem by helping her buy things."
