399: We are really destined to be together
Yu Xiaoye stood up quickly with half a bowl of grits porridge in his hand and glanced around. In the dark forest, lights flickered. Dozens of flashlights shuttled back and forth between the trees, illuminating one figure after another, but he no longer saw the figure that looked like his elder brother.
Light and shadow intertwine, and vision becomes blurred.
Yu Xiaoye was dazzled. She turned on her ordinary flashlight and shone it around, but still couldn't find it after searching for a while.
Was it an illusion caused by her dazzled eyes, or what?
Yu Xiaoye was afraid of missing the opportunity, so he quickly poured the remaining half bowl of porridge into his stomach, held the empty bowl in his arms, and shone the flashlight around, trying to find the face he had just seen.
She still remembered that the face seemed to have some unshaven beard and the hair was a little long, but at a quick glance, it didn't look clear.
But that temperament, that face shape, and that height really reminded her of her elder brother!
Before she came, she had thought that her eldest brother might be influenced by the plot of the original book and would go to the black market after leaving the Ninth Company. It was for this reason that she asked her parents to agree to let her go to the black market.
But in fact, she didn't hold out much hope. There were so many people in the world, how could it be so easy to meet someone?
But she never expected that this time, she would actually see someone who looked like her elder brother.
She didn't know whether she was seeing things or it was just a coincidence.
If it really is the eldest brother, then she is extremely lucky!
Regardless of whether we can find him or not, at least we know that big brother is still here and hasn’t gone far.
Yu Xiaoye walked around in the woods holding an empty bowl, looking for anyone who might look like his eldest brother.
The eldest brother was easy to identify. He was tall and thin. You could tell about 70% of his appearance just by looking at his figure. So Yu Xiaoye didn't need to take a picture of his face directly. He took a picture of his figure first. If he thought the figure was somewhat similar, he would pretend to take a picture of his face casually.
As a result, after walking back and forth in the woods twice, not to mention the face, there are not many people who look like me.
I searched the gaps in the treetops above my head until the sky was already turning pale, but I didn't see anyone who looked like my brother.
Is that strange?
Could it be that I was thinking about something during the day and dreaming about it at night, so I mistook someone else for my elder brother?
Yu Xiaoye didn't want to wander around anymore. Before dawn, he turned off the flashlight, walked to a deserted place, and returned to the space.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that the person just now was most likely my eldest brother!
So for the next few days, she didn't go anywhere and just stayed in the space. During the day, she was busy catching fish and making fish products. At night, she went to the black market, selling things while looking for her elder brother.
I went to both the night market and the morning market.
I searched like this for five whole days, but there was no sign of my brother.
In the end, she had to go back. If she didn't, her parents would probably report her as a missing person. Only then did she end her journey to the black market unwillingly.
I went back to my space and counted my gains from these days. I earned a total of about 1,800 yuan.
After deducting the cotton fabrics I bought these days and other daily necessities, plus my previous savings, I still have 1,700 yuan left.
This is the first time I have so much money!
Seeing the piles of neatly stacked banknotes, Yu Xiaoye felt particularly at ease.
This amount of money is enough for her to spend for a year or two.
If we spend frugally, we will be able to make ends meet for two or three years. Add to that my father's salary and their family's side businesses (raising chickens, growing vegetables, and fishing), and we won't have to worry about food and clothing in the next few years.
So for the next period of time, there is no need to go to the black market.
However, if Big Brother really was involved in the black market, she would probably come here again to find him.
There is no chance now. After earning enough money, she has to go back to her hometown with her second brother to solve Cuihua's problem first, and then come back to find her eldest brother.
Among the things she purchased this time, she specially bought several new quilt covers. One reason was for her own use, and the other was that if she could really bring Cuihua with her when she returned to her hometown, and Cuihua married her second brother, she should prepare two new quilts for her, right?
As for the cotton fabrics for making new clothes, needless to say, this time I bought more than 20 pieces of fabric, almost 100 kilograms of new cotton, which is definitely enough for the family to use during the winter.
After purchasing all the main supplies, Yu Xiaoye rode his bicycle towards the county town at dawn.
She wanted to go to the breakfast shop in the county town to have another meal of soy milk and fried dough sticks.
I haven't eaten it for several months and I miss it so much.
But now, whenever I think of that store, I can’t help but think of Zhou Ziheng.
I haven't seen him for a while and I miss him so much.
So when you come to the county this time, do you want to go and meet him?
How should I explain it when we meet? I feel guilty and cannot withstand interrogation, so after thinking about it, I decided not to bring trouble upon myself.
Wait until next time and come to see him openly.
I rode through the early autumn morning mist and arrived at the county town, where I parked my bike outside a breakfast shop.
There aren't many people, so no need to queue.
I successfully bought a cup of steaming soy milk and two large fried dough sticks. I found a seat, put down the soy milk and fried dough sticks, picked up a small plate of pickled vegetables, sat down, and prepared to eat.
I drank a mouthful of boiling hot soy milk, picked up the fried dough sticks with chopsticks, and just opened my mouth, before I took a bite, I suddenly heard someone say:
"Oh, what a coincidence, it's you again!"
This greeting scared Yu Xiaoye so much that he dropped the fried dough sticks into the bowl, splashing a few drops of soy milk.
Yu Xiaoye didn't care about the fried dough sticks and soy milk. She raised her head and muttered to herself that these words should not be said to her. She wasn't so unlucky that she could meet acquaintances every time she came here!
But when he looked up, he saw Secretary Jiang also looking at him with a smile while holding soy milk and fried dough sticks.
——What kind of hatred and resentment is this?
Is this how fate with Secretary Jiang works?!
Secretary Jiang also said:
"We are really destined to be together."
As he said that, he put the thing in his hand diagonally opposite Yu Xiaoye and asked again, "Do you mind?"
Yu Xiaoye forced a smile and said:
"Sit down and eat together."
-----
Secretary Jiang finished his soy milk and fried dough sticks and returned to the farm compound.
After entering the office, Zhou Ziheng came in with a briefcase.
Secretary Jiang took the initiative to make tea for Zhou Ziheng, brought the cup to the desk, put it down, and did not leave immediately.
Zhou Ziheng was busy flipping through the documents and asked casually:
"What's up?"
Secretary Jiang pretended to be casual and said:
"Oh, I met Yu Xiaoye this morning."
“!!”
Sure enough, Zhou Ziheng's eyes lit up, he stopped what he was doing, raised his head, and stared straight at Secretary Jiang.
Although his expression remained calm, his eyes were clearly filled with emotion.
"Why do you always run into her?" His tone was filled with jealousy or dissatisfaction.
Secretary Jiang pursed his lips and said innocently:
"I don't know either."
"Where did you meet her?"
“It’s still that breakfast shop.”
"She went to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks again?"
"Um."
