This man is clearly trying to change the concept.

She refused to take the money, saying that she didn't like him enough.

Xu Sui raised her eyebrows, "Captain Lu, are you showing your strength?"

Lu Chenghuai raised the corners of his lips, "Indeed, I am also afraid that you will meet someone better, so I want to be good to you, so good that you can no longer see anyone else in your eyes."

Xu Sui: "Aren't you afraid that I'll take your money and spend it all without leaving you any?"

"I'm happy too." Lu Chenghuai leaned over, almost touching the tip of her nose, and finally gave her a light kiss on the lips.

He stood up and chuckled, "If you don't have money, you can earn more. If you want to use it on you, you can do anything."

Xu Sui had to admit that she was a realistic woman.

These words from Lu Chenghuai made her feel very satisfied.

Because she knew that Lu Chenghuai was not the kind of person who would only say what he wanted. If she really said she wanted it, he would give it to her without hesitation.

After the two parted, Xu Sui returned home and counted the roll of bills.

There were sixty solidarity coupons, a lot of food coupons, business coupons, and radio coupons. All in all, it was a thick stack, very substantial.

Xu Sui sewed the bill to the inside of her clothes. Fortunately, she had enough clothes that day and it couldn't be seen through her cotton jacket.

On Saturday, Xu Sui got off work and went home with Lu Chenghuai for dinner. He helped her carry her things, and they went to the pier together.

Xu Sui didn't bring much stuff with her as she would be staying there for two days, but because she also had to bring things for other teachers, Xu Mian, and several sisters-in-law with whom she was close in the hospital, she also brought a larger luggage bag.

We didn't wait long at the dock before Teacher Liu arrived.

She took out her luggage and carried a small bag of sugar cane on her back. She invited Xu Sui to eat with her. "I heard before that Teacher Xu's boyfriend is a soldier. Not only is he handsome, but he's also very nice to you. He picks you up from get off work every day. I leave early from get off work, and I've never seen you two walking together. Now I see, you two really match each other. It feels like a match made in heaven."

Teacher Liu had seen Lu Chenghuai waiting for someone at the school gate several times, but her eyesight was not very good, and she was only dazzled by his white military uniform every time.

Now, the famous Captain Lu's figure and appearance are the kind that stand out from the crowd. The originally tall Xu Sui also looks petite in front of him.

What's more, although he is handsome, he looks very calm and dignified, and he has a temperament that will not let people ignore him.

Teacher Liu is young, and she likes pretty girls like Xu Sui. She also thinks that it is more appropriate for her to find a stable and reliable military officer. She has experienced the chaos in the past few years, and she was not affected because of her seniority and age. However, she has seen too many things that should not have happened. Now she feels that with such beauty, she must also have the ability to protect herself, otherwise it is hard to say whether she will be good or bad.

Lu Chenghuai was happy to be told that he and his date were a good match, and Teacher Liu could tell at a glance that he really believed that. He smiled slightly and said, "Teacher Liu, please take care of Sui Sui these days."

Teacher Liu is an experienced teacher. With such a person by his side, Lu Chenghuai does feel more at ease.

After all, in his heart, Xu Sui was still a little girl under 20 years old, and it was never too much to protect her.

Teacher Liu smiled and said, "Maybe I'll have to trouble Teacher Xu later. I haven't been to the island for nearly 15 years, and I'm not as energetic as the young people."

"This is my first time going to the county town since I came to our island." Xu Sui spoke softly about her first long-distance journey.

Lu Chenghuai waited until he saw Xu Sui and the others board the boat, the whistle sounded, and the boat slowly left before he left.

Xu Sui and others left the cabin only after they could no longer see him.

The weather was cold, and it was even colder floating on the sea. Fortunately, Xu Mian had experience and chose clothes that were thick enough for her. Xu Sui also put another layer of clothes on top of the quilt, so the night was warm enough.

The next morning, she and Teacher Liu got off the ship and took a ten-hour train ride before finally arriving in Shanghai at night.

Shanghai in the 1970s was also very prosperous, with straight and wide streets, many tricycles, and occasional buses passing by.

Although the buildings on both sides of the road are not high, compared with other cities nowadays, it is still quite shocking.

In addition, they passed by the International Hotel, which is said to be the tallest building in Shanghai, with 20 floors.

Teacher Liu was busy all day and night, but he was still full of energy. He stopped downstairs to watch for a while and said with a smile: "No wonder the newspaper said that when you look at the International Hotel in Shanghai, your hat will fall off if you look up to see the roof."

This was her first time in a city like this, and she said with emotion, "This building has been under construction for nearly ten years. I don't know when we will have buildings over ten stories high on our island, but I probably won't see that time."

Xu Sui: "Yes, there will be. Our country has so many people and great leaders. With everyone working together, we will definitely develop faster than any other country in the world."

In another twenty years, Shanghai will have buildings 500 to 600 meters high. In other provincial capitals, buildings over 100 meters high will spring up like mushrooms after rain. By that time, Teacher Liu will only be in his sixties.

She turned her head and smiled, "Teacher Liu, you will definitely see it."

Teacher Liu thought the little girl was comforting herself and smiled, "Then I'll wait."

The two went to the guesthouse, and Teacher Liu took the letter of introduction and booked a standard room.

The next morning, they got up early to have breakfast.

You have to pay for the travel expenses, accommodation and meals to and from school.

Xu Sui then ate some Shanghai-famous noodles with scallion oil.

After breakfast, the two went to the venue of the exchange meeting.

There were more than 60 schools and nearly 200 people participating on site.

Speaking of exchange meetings, they are actually similar to lectures.

The people above talked about the education of "come on, come in" and wanted the poor and middle peasants to manage the school. Although Xu Sui remembered this, she was not too worried about it.

With Director Qin, who attaches great importance to education, this kind of "leadership group of the poor and middle-class agricultural management school" would not be allowed to enter the school.

At noon, all the teachers who attended the meeting were given a bowl of rice cooked in a pot with bran, rice bran, bean cakes, and vegetables.

The taste was a bit strange, but at this moment, one couldn't be too particular. Xu Sui drank it without changing her expression, and Teacher Liu didn't frown either.

Others seemed to be enjoying the meal as well.

Fortunately, the exchange meeting lasted for two days. During the lunch break, Xu Sui went to a department store in Shanghai. She planned to show Lu Chenghuai a watch.
