In the back kitchen of the canteen of the rolling mill.
He Yuzhu was lying on a chair and drinking tea in an porcelain urn. Liu Lan took the initiative to bring him a thermos.
"Master He, thank you for yesterday.”Liu Lan whispered.
Yesterday, she really felt like she had died once. In her moment of despair, He Yuzhu saved her like a hero and even got more than 20 yuan and a lot of tickets for nothing.
This was equivalent to one and a half months of her salary.
With this money, at least their family would not starve this year.
"You're welcome, but you really have to be careful in the future. A big bag of things. Those who know know will know that it's rotten vegetables inside, but those who don't know will think that it's filled with good things.”He Yuzhu instructed.
"I know. I'll put it in my pocket in the future. I don't need a bag anymore.”
Liu Lan lowered her head as tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't want to bring those rotten vegetables, but her salary was not even enough to pay for her parents 'medical fees. She also had three younger brothers and a younger sister waiting to eat at home.
He couldn't possibly let her steal it, right?
He Yuzhu did not expect her to cry. He knew that Liu Lan's family was in trouble, but he had to be careful when taking things home.
"Come with me." He Yuzhu stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
Liu Lan panicked. What did this mean? Could it be Master He? Was he the same as Deputy Factory Manager Li? Liu Lan tidied her hair and followed him out uneasily.
He Yuzhu stopped outside the back door and took out a pack of Hademen. Hademen was given to him by his disciple Ma Hua.
"Is your family having a hard time?" He Yuzhu took a light puff of his cigarette. He wasn't addicted to smoking. In the past, he would only light a cigarette occasionally when he was discussing and thinking.
"Yes, I'm the only one working at home. "My parents are not in good health, and I have a younger brother and sister…" Liu Lan did not understand what He Yuzhu meant.
"After work, I'll go to your house to take a look.”
He Yuzhu didn't just want to help her. There were more and more things in his space, and he didn't have time to sell them.
Since Liu Lan's siblings were idle at home, they could set up a stall in Gezi City and earn some money to subsidize them. It was killing two birds with one stone.
" My house is a mess. I don't think I should go…" Liu Lan never brought anyone to her house because it was not even a home. It was just a place to live.
"Stop nagging. Wait for me after work."
Liu Lan didn't know what He Yuzhu meant. She felt uneasy the whole day. Her home was like an ugly scar that she never wanted anyone to see.
Unfortunately, He Yuzhu did not give her any chance. After work, he used his bicycle to drive her back to the courtyard where she lived.
This courtyard was even more dilapidated than the one Xu Qiubai used to live in.
The courtyard wasn't big to begin with, but many shacks had been built. There were only a few narrow paths left in the courtyard, and the air was filled with a moldy smell.
"Master He, don't go in! "Inside…" Liu Lan begged. This seemed to be her last cover.
"Don't worry, I've seen everything. Lead the way!"
He Yuzhu parked the car at the entrance. Then, he took out a net bag from his bag. There was a pork knuckle and two delicious air-dried chickens inside.
"Liu Lan is back. Whoa, this young man is not bad. He has thick eyebrows and big eyes. He's quite handsome!”
"I rode a bicycle! What was he holding in his hand? With a net full of meat, Old Liu's family was in great shape. A phoenix had appeared from the chicken nest.”
"Liu Lan's conditions aren't bad either. She's beautiful and works in the rolling mill. It's just that her parents are sick. Otherwise, she would have married off long ago.”
"Aiyo, I'm so envious. Why doesn't my Hu Niu have this kind of life? Look at this young man, how sturdy he is, and how broad his shoulders are! It's so exciting to watch!"
"Your Hu Niu really needs to find a strong one.”
…………
In less than ten minutes, the entire courtyard knew that Liu Lan had brought her boyfriend back.
As soon as He Yuzhu entered the shack, he understood why Liu Lan did not want him to come.
It was very cold inside, even colder than outside when the sun was shining! There was only one room, and it was divided into three parts by two patched curtains!
On the left was a bunk bed, which was considered the cleanest place. It should be where the two daughters lived.
In the middle was the bed where Liu Lan's parents were staying. Her father was lying on the bed, unable to move. He was as thin as a stick, his eyes unfocused, and he was on the verge of death. When his mother saw He Yuzhu come in, she picked up her walking stick and stood up. She opened her mouth but did not dare to say anything.
On the right side was a shared bed with two tattered quilts piled up in a mess.
In the middle of the room was a low table made of bricks and a few broken benches.
One side of the shack outside was the kitchen, while the other side was piled up with all kinds of junk that children had picked up.
A thin little girl was cleaning up the junk. When she saw He Yuzhu come in, she hid at the door and secretly watched.
He was indeed poor!
He Yuzhu was so poor that he lost the courage to understand the situation.
Shouldn't he help this kind of family?
