"Brother, brother, I'm back."
The voice of He Yuzhu's younger sister, He Yushui, came from the courtyard.
Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly took a basin out of the door and pretended to fetch water.
"Sister Qin, have you seen my brother? The door is locked.”
He Yushui immediately asked when he saw Qin Huiru.
"He went out with a few books. He should be going to the library. He'll be back soon.”
Upon hearing Qin Huiru's words, He Yushui could not help but laugh.
"Don't you think it's strange that my silly brother, as a chef, doesn't look at recipes and starts reading 'Three Kingdoms' and 'Red Chamber'?”
Qin Huairu lowered her brows and did not reply. She sobbed softly, and tears flowed down her cheeks as she spoke.
"Sister Qin, why are you crying? Did someone bully you?”
He Yushui asked with concern.
Qin Huairu sobbed and shook her head.
"Then what's wrong?"
"Hurry up and say something, I'm dying of anxiety," He Yuyu said anxiously.”
"Rainwater, I've finally brought you back.”
Qin Huairu wiped her tears and said aggrievedly,""Do you know how I've been recently? I can't eat or sleep.”
"Sister Qin, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?”
He Yushui was very puzzled.
"Don't talk about you. I don't understand either."
Qin Huairu sobbed." For the past two months, I don't know what happened. Your brother has been very cold. He doesn't even say a word when we meet.
"Awesome. Little Dang chased after him and called him uncle, but he ignored him.
"In the past, the door of the house was never locked. I could help him tidy up and wash his clothes.
"Now, he locks the door as if he's guarding against thieves.
"I can't think of how I offended him, nor can I understand why he's like this, why he's so cold.
"I'm very worried that he might have encountered something. I wanted to ask him, but he always ignored me and ignored me. Looking at him like this, I really feel very uncomfortable.”
"Why didn't you tell me when I came back the last few times?" He Yushui frowned.”
"I thought he would get better after a while.”
Qin Huairu sobbed and said," I didn't expect him to be like this for so long. I'm an outsider and a widow, so I can't chase after him and ask him what's wrong. You're his sister, so you should be more concerned about him. I'm really worried about him."”
"Alright, don't worry, Sister Qin. I'll ask my brother when he comes back.”
" You're so good to him and care about him so much. How can you ignore him?" He Yushui said." You're too despicable."”
……
After leaving the courtyard house, He Yuzhu went to the nearby bus stop to wait for the trolleybus.
The library wasn't very far, about seven or eight kilometers away. It only took ten minutes to get there by trolleybus.
Soon, the car arrived. He Yuzhu took out ten cents from the system warehouse to buy a ticket.
A 10-cent ticket was considered expensive at this time.
Most people would choose the more cost-effective monthly ticket.
3.5 yuan per month. There was no limit to the number of buses in the city.
Other than that, there was also a monthly ticket that allowed the suburbs to go to the city. It cost 5 yuan per month. That monthly ticket was limited to one bus route, and only this bus route had no limit.
However, no matter what kind of monthly ticket it was, it could only be used by the person. The monthly ticket had a photo attached to it and was stamped. If any changes were made, it would be invalid.
He Yuzhu did not take the bus often, so he did not have a monthly ticket. To him, he could only take the bus a few times a month. It was more cost-effective to pay for the ticket directly.
After the rush hour, there were many empty seats on the bus.
He Yuzhu found a seat near the window and sat down, looking at the scenery outside.
Occasionally, a bicycle would pass by, and He Yuzhu was very envious.
In the past, if someone told him that a normal bicycle would make others envious, he would definitely suspect that there was something wrong with the person's brain.
But now, he was really envious and wanted to own a bicycle.
In this era, having a bicycle was comparable to driving a supercar. No matter where you went, you would be the prettiest kid.
Unfortunately, just like how a supercar was rare, a bicycle was also rare at this time.
In terms of price, the Phoenix 28-inch bicycle cost 158 yuan each.
It wasn't much more expensive than a watch, and it was also available in department stores.
But it was still the same sentence. Money was easy to save, but tickets were hard to come by. Buying a bicycle required a bicycle ticket.
As for bicycle tickets, they were as rare as watch tickets.
The rolling mill only had a few slots each year, so it was impossible to get them.
Fortunately, He Yuzhu heard that there would be an industrial exam this year.
20 yuan salary and an industrial certificate.
At this time, everything needed a receipt. There was a receipt for the thermos, a receipt for the washbasin, and a receipt for picking up soap. In short, there was a corresponding receipt for every item in the department store.
This was too troublesome and cumbersome.
Therefore, he issued an industrial voucher. The industrial voucher was equivalent to a universal ticket. Other than food, one could buy any daily necessities.
Of course, this was only a qualification to buy things. One still had to pay.
But even so, there were still many benefits to having the industrial certificate.
Watches and bicycles were no longer out of reach. He could buy them by collecting the industrial credits with his coworkers.
The only thing he needed was to save money.
He Yuzhu wanted a bicycle more than a watch.
With a bicycle, it was convenient to go anywhere. He had long wanted to go fishing outside the city to improve his life.
However, when he thought about the price, the fish meat did not smell good at all.
It was better not to improve his life.
