The jeep stopped in front of the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) shop, and Dai Donglin immediately spotted Chu Yu, who was busy working inside. His wife seemed to be bathed in light, always the center of attention wherever she went, and he couldn't get enough of looking at her.
Dai Donglin strode towards her, calling out as he passed Shu Aiguo:
"Second Uncle."
"Hey, Donglin!" Shu Aiguo chuckled. "I'm still not used to you suddenly calling me Second Uncle. Just call me Uncle."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few times."
Shu Aiguo didn't take it to heart, thinking to himself that the kid was quite polite, calling him so intimately.
"Donglin, what brings you here?"
Chu Yu, hands behind her back, suppressed a laugh. "Second Uncle, he came to see me. Didn't I just go to Wenzhou? Comrade Dai has a lot of ideas about clothing and wants to discuss them with me."
"Good for you young people! You should exchange ideas more! This is none of your business, you and Comrade Dai go and do your work."
Dai Donglin's eyes followed her the whole time, watching her pack her things, wash and dry her hands, and finally carry a small cloth bag out the door.
Dai Donglin opened the car door for her and then stopped the man selling popsicles on his bicycle and bought her a cream popsicle.
How did the exam go?
Chu Yu took two bites. "Not bad. The results should be out on Monday. I have to go to Quan'an City tomorrow."
Dai Donglin already knew about this from Chu Xiang. A batch of smuggled goods was arriving at Quan'an Port tomorrow, and Dai Donglin had to go there too, so he could give her a ride. But what if it wasn't on his way? Deyang is close to Quan'an, but train services are infrequent, and people mostly travel by bus. Did she plan to take a bus to Quan'an to buy goods?
Two days ago, a girl in Quan'an was sexually assaulted on the street. The incident had a terrible impact, and Quan'an has begun a crackdown.
At this critical juncture, she actually wanted to take a large sum of money and take a bus to Quan'an?
Dai Donglin felt a chill run down his spine just thinking about it.
Chu Yu was unaware of this matter. She breathed a sigh of relief when Dai Donglin gave her a ride. She wasn't afraid of traveling far, but with so many goods, it was not an easy task to carry two hundred pieces of clothing in and out under the scorching sun, while also carrying several thousand yuan.
Being robbed on the street is the least of your worries. If you encounter something worse, there are no surveillance cameras these days, so you can only accept your bad luck.
She wasn't unaware of the risks; it was precisely because she knew that she asked Shen Zhuyu if she wanted to buy goods, hoping that Shen Zhuyu would pick her up. It would be safer for the two girls to go shopping together than for her to do it alone.
"Let me know whenever you go to another city in the future. I can't always take you there, but I'll make the arrangements for you. It's safer than going by yourself."
"Okay, boyfriend!"
The next morning, Dai Donglin went to Shanguan Village to pick her up. Liao Hongmei heard the horn from afar, and stared at it from the doorway for a long time, her jaw aching.
Chu Yu must have had incredible luck to snag such a wealthy man. If she had known Shu Hui had sought refuge with them, she should have let her in.
Fortunately, she wasn't bad either. After a week of research, she finally replicated Shu Hui's roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). Although the taste was still a bit different, the appearance was at least 70% similar.
"Sister-in-law!" Mi Fei smiled at Chu Yu.
Chu Yu handed her two roujiamo (Chinese hamburger), both of which Shu Hui had made early in the morning.
Mi Fei was really craving the roujiamo (Chinese hamburger). He had recently been to Quan'an with Dai Donglin, and there was a roujiamo shop at the Quan'an port. It was said that the technique was brought over by businessmen from other places.
Mi Fei was quite happy and ordered four in one go. Only after eating them did he realize that not all roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) are called Shujia Roujiamo. The flavor that Chu Yu's family makes is something you really can't find anywhere else.
Despite her young age, Chu Yu was quite caring and even opened a bottle of soda for him to take with him. Mi Fei ate his roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) while drinking the soda, already accepting her as his sister-in-law.
The bus journey took more than three hours, but Dai Donglin drove for only two hours to get there. However, the journey was bumpy, and Chu Yu felt a little carsick.
Dai Donglin bought a bag of sour plums by the roadside, and Chu Yu felt a little better after sucking on the sour plums.
Although Quan'an Port's throughput is not as large as that of major domestic ports, it is still one of the top ports among the cities surrounding Deyang. Quan'an is an essential stop on the sea route from south to north.
Shen Zhuyu stood at the port waiting for her.
"Chu Yu!"
Chu Yu smiled and said, "Have you been waiting long?"
“That’s right, I didn’t know when you would arrive either, I came to wait early this morning,” Shen Zhuyu glanced at Dai Donglin’s Jeep. These days, driving a four-wheeled vehicle is no ordinary thing. “Is this your man?”
Chu Yu didn't deny it, "He's my boyfriend."
"Your boyfriend is really handsome!" Shen Zhuyu smiled at Dai Donglin, her eyes exactly the same as Chu Xiang's. She was practically obsessed with shipping this couple. "I'm relieved that a handsome guy is dating a beautiful girl. I know a girl who's really pretty, but she ended up with a stingy jerk. Every time I see that guy, I feel disgusted and want to vomit, but she treats him like a treasure, saying that ugly men are more reliable."
Chu Yu is a bit superficial; Dai Donglin is handsome and has a good physique, which is why she agreed to date him. If it were an ugly man...
I'd rather be a single, wealthy woman.
Dai Donglin was busy, so he found a man named Lao Ma to accompany Chu Yu.
Old Ma always followed them from a distance, never appearing in front of others, remaining completely invisible. Chu Yu didn't even know what he looked like.
"Your partner treats you very well and is reliable."
Shen Zhuyu then pulled Chu Yu aside and bombarded her with questions, "You bought so much stock and sold it all?"
"Sold out."
"I've sold out of my 20 pairs of bell-bottoms. How much do you sell them for?"
"35!"
"How many?"
Shen Zhuyu's eyes widened as she realized why the bell-bottoms had been snapped up as soon as the price was announced.
