Ma Yingxiong, who had a high emotional intelligence, immediately said, "Oh, I see. You're trying to scare them. But I only know their names. I'm not sure where they live or anything like that. Besides, if you're writing about negative examples, do you even need to mention where they live?"
Yu Sui: "More details would be more realistic. Master Ma, how about this, I'll give you a cigarette, and you can help me find someone and get the detailed information of these people, okay?"
“…僢!”
When he heard that the reward was a cigarette, Ma Yingxiong hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the task.
Yu Sui made a request to obtain all the personal information of these people, the more detailed the better. If he could get all the information about the former director of the mental hospital named He, he would be given an extra cigarette.
Ma Yingxiong didn't expect that he could get such a high reward for doing these things, so he took the initiative to promise to get it done.
Yu Sui then called the brigade and asked Secretary Zou to tell Sun Yuying that she had come to the city to see Yu Cheng and would stay there for three days.
These days, the post office has a small cubicle for making phone calls, which is a relatively secluded place.
Yu Sui took advantage of this opportunity to slip into the space and bought two electric blankets and several sets of thermal underwear.
If you take down the more advanced signs, you can’t tell what era they are from.
Moreover, electric blankets and thermal underwear are personal belongings. No one will find out unless you tell others about them.
In addition to these, Yu Sui also bought some small printing supplies, and then stayed in front of the electronic screen of the space for a long time, just to select some old county annals of this county and some government work reports of this era.
If Yu Qiu has the ability to control these officials through the memories of her past life, then Yu Sui must be one step ahead of her.
At present, although this type of material is rare, it is not impossible to buy it. You just need to select it by intuition on the screen.
But after all, she was in the post office, and Yu Sui didn't dare stay in the small cubicle where she was making the phone call for too long, so she had to buy all the relevant information about the county that appeared on the screen. In total, she bought ten books.
It's quite heavy.
Yu Sui carried these things out of the post office and returned to the guesthouse.
There were two young and pretty girls at the service desk of the guesthouse.
These days, being able to work in a state-owned guesthouse is a very prestigious job, and those who can get into such a unit usually have very strong backgrounds.
So the two girls at the service desk looked very proud.
Since Yu Sui had something to ask for, she had to put on a smile.
She handed over a bag of Meixiong cakes she had bought on the road: "Zhizhi, these are freshly baked Meixiong cakes from Xiannan Street. I bought two bags and then I remembered that my godmother had just eaten noodles and couldn't eat so much. I'll give you one bag to help me out."
Even the proudest people these days would be tempted by delicious food. After all, it was still a time when food was relatively scarce and the weather was cold. Faced with the steaming hot pastries, the little girl smiled politely, "Uh... no need, we're at work."
Yu Sui simply handed it over: "Hey, eat while working, come on."
It is hard to refuse such a kind invitation, and Meiying Cake has another sweet fragrance.
The two little girls started eating.
Yu Sui started chatting while eating: "My husband and I were with the army in the north, and we couldn't eat this. Fortunately, we are back here. Hey, Qiezhi, who is the county magistrate now? Let's find out."
One of the round-faced waiters said enthusiastically:
"Oh, so you're a military officer's family member. I was just telling Xiao Su that judging by your accent, you must be a local. How come you're staying at the guesthouse? That's strange. It turns out you're from out of town. There have been a lot of changes in our county this year. The current county magistrate is this one, and the deputy county magistrate is this one. Well, it's all in our internal reference newspaper."
The round-faced waiter handed over an internal tabloid of the agency.
That’s great, the entire leadership team is here.
Yu Sui took the newspaper with great interest: "Hey, who is this, Sun Jiandong, I think I know him. Can you bring this newspaper back to my room for me to read?"
"Okay, okay, take it."
Yu Sui took the newspaper and returned to her room as expected.
Wu Su was still curled up in bed. When he saw Yu Sui come in, he sniffed and said, "What smells good? What is that?"
"I bought you some cakes, get up and eat them."
Wu Su shook his head. "No, no, I won't get up. It'll be even colder if I stay huddled under the quilt. Just give me the food."
Yu Sui said helplessly: "Then you can eat the cake first, but you still have to get up, and then spread out the blanket I bought so you won't be cold. And this underwear, you should wear it inside, so you won't be cold when we go out again."
After much persuasion, Wu Su got up, wrapped himself in a quilt, and put an electric blanket on him.
Yu Sui asked her to put her clothes in the quilt.
Wu Su still didn't understand: "Are you afraid that I'll be embarrassed to change clothes? And put it in the bed? We are all women, we have everything we need."
Yu Sui: “…” Okay, I’m embarrassed.
But five minutes later, Yu Sui didn't need to explain. Wu Su rolled around in the quilt, happy like a child: "What kind of blanket is this? How come it's so good? It warms up all of a sudden. Oh my god, it feels like a man is warming my bed!"
This was funny, and Yu Sui became curious: "Hey, godmother, I haven't heard you mention your man before, can you tell me about him?"
Wu Su paused in the quilt, his eyes fixed on one spot for a long time, and then he said slowly:
"The last thing I want to talk about is that man. But since you're my goddaughter, I might as well tell you about it. The customs and practices of our people today are pretty much the same as yours, the Han people, but they were quite different a few years ago. As for me, I found a man by following our customs."
In our hometown, when people talk about marriage, the matchmaker brings the man to the woman's home to discuss the matter. Usually, the woman's family will first take out some good wine and force the man to drink three cups. After the man finishes drinking, if he still behaves well, then they will discuss the betrothal gift.
As for the betrothal gift, if a man likes a woman, he'll negotiate a certain amount of deerskin, goat'skin, or fish skin. If the woman is average or the man's family is truly poor, he'll give her cloth. My man, after three cups of wine, offered to give us ten deerskins and ten goatskins, and my father agreed immediately. "Haha, Yu Sui, ten deerskins and ten goatskins—in our tribe, that's the best betrothal gift."
Wu Su's expression showed no sadness or joy, but rather a hint of laughter.
Yu Sui came over and said, "My godmother, you must have been very pretty when you were young. You must have been the most beautiful girl in the tribe."
Wu Su sighed:
"Alas! Life is unpredictable. Please listen to me first before you comment. But I was still very happy at the time. The man was tall and his eyes were quite bold when he looked at me. I was still attracted to him. Then we stayed together that night..."
"Wait, what did you say? We slept together that night? That night?"
