The clothes Li Yunshu was wearing were all sent back from Hai City by her sister-in-law Su Wanzhen. She put them together herself and they looked pretty good.
"Thank you." Li Yunshu thanked him generously.
Feng Anguo smiled and asked, "What are you buying at the Friendship Store?"
Li Yunshu looked back at the pipe packing clerk and said, "It's Uncle Zou's birthday. It's thanks to him that I was able to meet my parents. I came to buy him a birthday present."
Feng Anguo said, "What a coincidence! I'm here to buy a birthday present for Mr. Zou as well."
"What did you buy? Give me some advice on what kind of gift I can prepare for Mr. Zou."
Li Yunshu said, "I bought a pipe. My dad said that Mr. Zou really likes to drink tea. Why don't you buy him a better teapot?"
Feng Anguo's eyes lit up, "This is good, then I will buy a teapot."
"Comrade, do you have a better teapot here?"
Two minutes later, Feng Anguo and Li Yunshu walked out of the Friendship Store together.
Feng Anguo: "Comrade Yunshu, you've been a great help to me. Otherwise, I really wouldn't know what to buy."
Li Yunshu walked down the stairs, smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.
Feng Anguo looked at his watch and saw it was almost two o'clock, so he said, "It's almost noon. To thank you for your help, I'll treat you to a meal."
Li Yunshu quickly said, "No, no, I just made a suggestion casually. Why do I need you to treat me to a meal as a thank you?"
Comrade Feng Anguo is so polite.
Feng Anguo said: "My family and the Li family are old friends. I am not only grateful to you, but since we met for the first time, it is only right that I invite you to have a meal together."
Li Yunshu: "..."
Even after hearing what others said, she still refused, which seemed very disrespectful to them.
"OK."
Feng Anguo smiled and said, "That's right."
Li Yunshu pushed his bicycle and went to a nearby state-owned restaurant with Feng Anguo. They chatted for a while along the way.
Through chatting, Li Yunshu also learned some basic information about Feng Anguo.
Feng Anguo was one year older than her, about forty-five years old, and had a daughter, but she had gone to Hong Kong with his ex-wife.
During those turbulent years, Feng Anguo's father was labeled a rightist and sent to a farm for reform. He was on the battlefield in Vietnam at the time and was not affected.
But her ex-wife was afraid of being implicated, so she asked for a divorce from him. At that time, he didn't know what the situation would be like when he returned after the war, so he agreed to the divorce.
His ex-wife took the children to Hong Kong. His father was one of the first group of immigrants in 1978, but he passed away two years ago due to poor health. Now there is only his elderly mother at home.
Although Feng Anguo said it calmly, Li Yunshu was deeply moved. Even though she was just an ordinary worker, she knew how painful and tormented those years were for Feng Anguo and his parents.
The two walked into the state-owned restaurant. The waiter was very enthusiastic when he saw Feng Anguo wearing a military uniform.
"Comrade Yunshu, what do you like to eat?" Feng Anguo asked.
Li Yunshu said, "I can eat anything. I'm not picky. You can decide. But there are only two of us, so we can just order two dishes and a soup. Don't waste anything."
Feng Anguo glanced at her, smiled and nodded, "One roast chicken with potatoes, one shredded pork with Beijing sauce, stir-fried shredded potatoes with hot and sour sauce, and one meatball soup."
"Is it too much?" Li Yunshu asked.
Feng Anguo smiled and said, "I am a big eater."
Li Yunshu smiled and nodded.
Feng Anguo: "I heard you opened a dumpling shop. Where is it located? I'd like to go and support you if I have time."
Li Yunshu said, "It's on Changning Street in the Dongcheng District."
After finishing the visit and investigation, Gu Zhenyuan frowned and walked into the alley. While walking forward and driving to the side of the road, he analyzed the case in his mind.
Xiao Zhao stuffed the notebook he had taken notes in into his bag, passed by a state-owned restaurant, smelled the aroma emanating from the restaurant, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
But seeing that Captain Gu had no intention of coming to eat, he glanced into the store with great regret. Just as he was about to look away, he saw an acquaintance in the store.
He glanced at it and walked forward with his head down. Captain Gu called out twice, "Captain Gu, Captain Gu."
"What?" Gu Zhenyuan frowned and turned his head away, somewhat dissatisfied with Xiao Zhao interrupting his analysis of the case.
Xiao Zhao swallowed hard, shrank his neck, and pointed toward the state-owned restaurant, "Sister Li."
Gu Zhenyuan: “?”
Xiao Zhao said again: "Sister Li is having dinner with a man in military uniform inside."
A man in a military uniform?
Gu Zhenyuan frowned. It couldn’t be Second Brother Li, right?
Even if Second Brother Li came back, it would be impossible for him to have dinner with Sister Yunshu in front of her.
Who is this man in military uniform? Let him take a look.
Gu Zhenyuan turned around and walked back. When he reached the entrance of the state-owned hotel, he saw Sister Yun Shu.
She seemed to have dressed up specially, she looked very beautiful and had a very good temperament.
Opposite her sat a man in military uniform with his back to the gate. Gu Zhen couldn't see his face from afar, but he could tell that this man was not Second Brother Li. He could still recognize Second Brother Li's figure.
Blind date?
These two words suddenly popped up in Gu Zhenyuan's mind. A woman, dressed up specially, and having dinner in front of a man, the only thing he could think of was a blind date.
"I haven't heard from my mom recently who Uncle Li and Aunt Yu introduced to Sister Yunshu for a blind date?" Gu Zhenyuan muttered softly.
Xiao Zhao: "Captain Gu, what are you talking about?"
I can't hear you clearly.
Gu Zhenyuan glanced at him, shook his head, and said, "Nothing."
I wondered if it was Brother Li who introduced me?
Second Brother Li has been single for so many years and hasn't found anyone for himself, so why did he introduce her to Sister Yunshu?
"Xiao Zhao."
Xiao Zhao: "Huh?"
"Are you hungry?" Gu Zhenyuan asked.
Xiao Zhao nodded, "I'm hungry."
"Then let's have a meal before going back." Gu Zhenyuan said.
"Great, great." Xiao Zhao nodded happily.
Gu Zhenyuan walked into the state-owned restaurant, and then pretended to see Li Yunshu, and said in a thoughtful manner: "Sister Yunshu, you are also here to eat, what a coincidence."
Xiao Zhao: “…”
Captain Gu, you make me feel unfamiliar.
How could it be a coincidence? He clearly knew that Sister Li was inside the restaurant before entering.
Li Yunshu saw Gu Zhenyuan coming towards him and said with a look of surprise, "Brother Zhenyuan, you are also here to eat? That's a coincidence."
Gu Zhenyuan: "Yeah, I was doing some business near Xiao Zhao, and when it was time for dinner, I said I wanted to have some noodles, but I didn't expect to meet you."
"This is..." Gu Zhenyuan then looked at the other person at the table and stopped talking halfway.
"Brother Feng?"
