Chapter 90 Waiting to be praised



After breakfast, Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling packed two servings of beef noodles and two cups of soy milk. Li Yiling would have to return the bowls and cups later.

Xiao Cui saw them coming peacefully, her eyes wide with disbelief, and then she jumped and hugged Yang Zhaozhao's thighs: "Sister, they all said you were arrested and you won't come!"

"Don't listen to their nonsense. The police want us to cooperate with their work. Look, we're here, aren't we?" Yang Zhaozhao boasted, "We have beef noodles. Who wants some?"

Xiao Cui, who started drooling at the mention of beef noodles, raised her hand: "Me, me, me, I want beef noodles!"

After settling Xiao Cui down, she fed another serving of beef noodles without chili to Grandma Cui. Grandma Cui was very happy to see them back safely. She grabbed her hand and said with difficulty, "It's good that you're back!"

Yang Zhaozhao wiped the corners of Grandma Cui's mouth with a handkerchief and said, "I'm sorry for making you worry!"

Cui Nai shook her head slightly.

Li Yiling braved the cold wind to deliver the bowls and cups.

After Yang Zhaozhao gave Grandma Cui a massage, he helped her go to the toilet, washed her hands and feet, then filled two thermoses of hot water for Li Yiling and went to bed.

Soon Yang Zhaozhao fell asleep, the kind that couldn't be woken up even by thunder.

Li Yiling came over and looked at the two thermoses at the door, feeling warm in his heart.

Knowing that Yang Zhaozhao was particular about hygiene, he washed his hands and feet carefully, wiped his body, and when he wrapped himself in the quilt, he found a hot water bottle inside.

Li Yiling raised the corners of his mouth and turned over happily.

Yang Zhaozhao slept until dark before opening her eyes. She found someone talking, so she rubbed her eyes and sat up. Her hair was a mess, with her alopecia flying.

Xiao Cui happened to come into the house to get something. Seeing that she had woken up, she excitedly said, "Sister, a radio, a talking radio, we have one at home too!"

Yang Zhaozhao “?”

Although Yang Zhaozhao said to buy one, she didn't have time to buy it. Could it be that she bought it in her dream?

After she was dressed and combed her hair before going out, she saw an antenna set up in the yard to receive signals. There was also a large device being debugged, and a group of people were watching the engineer who was debugging.

Li Yiling saw her, smiled, and walked towards her: "Did you sleep well? I bought a radio, and I'll be able to receive programs later."

Looking at the strands of hair sticking up, he couldn't help but raised his hand to press them down. However, they were still sticking up stubbornly. He probably needed to wash his hair before they could become straight again.

"Yes, I bought it. I said I went to buy it, but there were not that many industrial tickets, so I didn't buy it at all." Yang Zhaozhao also leaned over to take a look.

She didn't pay attention to Li Yiling's action of pressing her hair. When others saw it, they looked at each other and smiled subtly.

I thought that young people nowadays are really unrefined. They live in the same yard without getting married and touch heads in front of everyone.

shameless!

"It's the same for me to buy it. I heard you mention it several times. It happened that I had nothing to do today, so I went out to take a look. I bought anything I liked." Li Yiling looked at Yang Zhaozhao with an inviting look.

Yang Zhaozhao admired the radio. Li Yiling bought a Red Star brand radio, which looked quite cool. In 1979, radios were still a luxury item.

Yang Zhaozhao had admired enough, and when she turned her head, she saw Li Yiling looking at her with a hint of expectation on his cold face, and a smile in his deep eyes.

Yang Zhaozhao, who was stunned for a moment, understood his expression, smiled, and said, "It's very beautiful. You bought it very well. You have good taste!"

When Yang Zhaozhao praised him, the people present noticed that this serious and cold man actually showed a hint of embarrassment on his serious face.

If you look more closely, you will find that his ears are red.

Oh my God, does it have to be so scary? This evil spirit is actually shy?

Not only did Li Yiling's ears turn red, his face was also burning. Being stared at by so many people, he felt even more embarrassed and could only pretend to go to his room to get something.

His large hands were pressed against his burning face, his eyes tinged with distress.

Li Yiling shook his head, feeling that he was too shameless. He was so happy when he was praised. How shameful!

The radio was debugged and started playing the radio program. Everyone's faces looked very interesting as they listened to the mechanical sounds coming out of the big box.

The neighbors who were watching the fun were envious and jealous: "What's so great about having a radio? Xiao Cui, next time ask your grandma to bring you a TV, that's a real thing!"

It’s not that Yang Zhaozhao can’t be taken out of the TV, but if they suddenly take out so much money at once, they will definitely be noticed, and her material space cannot be exposed.

Be patient and I will definitely arrange for TV next year.

Next year, she can openly engage in individual business. Yang Zhaozhao will definitely launder her money and do business. She is not afraid.

With the radio, the house became much more lively. Children from the neighborhood came to join in the fun. They all played well with Xiao Cui. Every time they came, Yang Zhaozhao gave them delicious food.

Each of them got two large rabbit milk candies, and they ate so much that they wanted to call Yang Zhaozhao mom.

Comparing herself with those other children, Yang Zhaozhao discovered that Xiao Cui was really thin, and her hair was dry and yellow. Even though her complexion had improved a little in the past two months, Xiao Cui still couldn't catch up with people of the same age.

Yang Zhaozhao thought that he had money and time, so he discussed with Grandma Cui and took Xiao Cui to get a check-up.

The examination results showed that apart from long-term malnutrition, there were no other problems and that she needed to be properly cared for. The doctor prescribed cod liver oil and asked Xiao Cui to take one pill a day.

Yang Zhaozhao now gives her a glass of milk every morning and evening, hoping to save her.

Grandma Cui looked at Yang Zhaozhao who was giving Xiao Cui a snack and squeezed out a few words. Yang Zhaozhao guessed and understood: "Don't worry, Grandma Cui, it won't cost much. The money you gave Li Yiling before hasn't been spent much yet."

"The doctor said Xiao Cui is fine, she just didn't have enough nutrition before. She will be fine after some care in the future." Yang Zhaozhao comforted her a few words, and Grandma Cui was relieved.

Because Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling were about to take the college entrance examination, and there were too many children at home who needed to listen to the radio, so Yang Zhaozhao and Li Yiling went to the library to read books when they had nothing to do.

The only library in the city is very crowded every day, with many people coming to read books. It's winter and there's nothing to do, so those who want to take the college entrance examination must study hard.

Yang Zhaozhao has been busy these days. She has been paying back the debt one by one every day for the antiques and cultural relics she received from the Seventh Master. Apart from the 50,000 yuan paid for the painting, the other three items only added up to 40,000 yuan.

The debt was reduced by 90,000, and there was still more than 80,000.

Today, it was Yang Zhaozhao's turn to get the ring he had just acquired. As soon as he placed it on the appraisal table, the material space responded: [Amber and beeswax from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, slight flaws, assessed value: 70,000 yuan. Is it worth repaying?]

"I remember that bugs are very valuable, why are they only 70,000?" Yang Zhaozhao didn't know this before, but recently she was in the library, and she flipped through some books on purpose, and found that amber and beeswax are still very valuable.

Especially insect amber with insects in it.

Yang Zhaozhao thought that this amber ring would help her pay off all her debts.

Material Space explained: [It's slightly defective and worthless. Is it worth repaying?]

Yang Zhaozhao: “…”

Although it did not meet expectations, Yang Zhaozhao could still accept the value of 70,000 yuan. She nodded.

Material Space: [Repayment of 70,000 yuan, current remaining debt: 14,493 yuan, 17 days left, please clear the debt as soon as possible.]

Yang Zhaozhao, who had no antiques or cultural relics in stock, was a little panicked. After all, antiques and cultural relics were not easy to find. She had spent a lot of effort and still had a debt of about 15,000 yuan.

Just when I was feeling melancholy, someone appeared beside me.

Yang Zhaozhao thought it was Li Yiling, but when he turned his head, he saw a strange face. The man smiled at Yang Zhaozhao with a cold and strange smile, and pushed a book in his hand towards him: "Take a look."

Yang Zhaozhao felt that this person was not a good person, but he still opened the book out of curiosity and was shocked by what was inside.

I saw a bullet with a cold gleam in the gap between the pages, pressing on a piece of paper written in red ink: Three days later, under the old locust tree outside the city, the old thing will be returned to its original owner.
