Chapter 814

Cao Cao Weiguo picked up his chopsticks and started to show off his eating. Suddenly, a gentle young man walked over with a happy face. Although this young man looked quite delicate, Cao Cao Weiguo felt that this young man had the shadow of Seeing Shazhu. Could he be Seeing Shazhu’s relative?

Luo Yun asked curiously: "Zhou Xiaobai, who is this comrade?"

"Let me introduce myself."

Before Zhou Zhou Xiaobai could speak, the young man introduced himself politely: "My name is Chen Chen Boxu, I used to live in the same courtyard as Zhou Xiaobai, it can be said that I am Zhou Xiaobai’s childhood sweetheart."

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai glanced at Cao Cao Weiguo, and then said to Chen Chen Boxu with some dissatisfaction: "What childhood sweetheart, Chen Chen Boxu, don't talk nonsense, we were just neighbors for a few months."

Chen Chen Boxu smiled awkwardly and said: "Zhou Xiaobai, I thought we were childhood sweethearts, but even if we aren't, we are good neighbors, good partners, remember when you were a child you always pestered me for candy."

Luo Yun blinked and smiled: "Since there is this layer of relationship, if you don't mind, Comrade Chen Chen Boxu, sit down and eat with me, you can also reminisce with Zhou Xiaobai."

Chen Chen Boxu pulled a stool and sat down with a full face of smiles, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai glared at the talkative Luo Yun.

Chen Chen Boxu looked at Cao Cao Weiguo, who had been burying his head in eating, and greeted him warmly: "Hello, comrade."

Cao Cao Weiguo responded with a smile: "Hello."

Chen Chen Boxu smiled: "Comrade, my name is Chen Chen Boxu, and I am currently the propaganda officer of the Jingcheng Agricultural Bureau. What is your name, comrade, and where do you work?"

Cao Cao Weiguo said plainly: "My name is Cao Cao Weiguo, and I work at the Municipal Industrial Bureau."

Chen Chen Boxu was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to work in a government agency too. For the opposite sex sitting next to Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, he felt unhappy just by looking at him.

Luo Yun smiled like a flower: "Comrade Chen Chen Boxu, my name is Luo Yun, can you tell me the story between you and Zhou Xiaobai?"

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai put a piece of braised pork for Luo Yun: "Eating can't block your mouth, don't you think you talk too much?"

State-run restaurant

Chen Chen Boxu talked enthusiastically about things between him and Zhou Zhou Xiaobai when they were children, showing their intimate relationship in his words, as well as his doting and love for Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, shaping the image of a childhood sweetheart big brother.

Hearing Chen Chen Boxu tell the embarrassing things of childhood, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai couldn't help but blush and say: "Chen Chen Boxu, that's enough, those are things from childhood, let's eat quickly, I have something to do after eating."

Chen Chen Boxu smiled and said: "I listen to you, Zhou Xiaobai, Luo Yun, I will treat you to this meal, order whatever you want to eat."

I don't know if it was intentional, but Chen Chen Boxu deliberately ignored Cao Cao Weiguo, treating Cao Cao Weiguo like air, not even willing to let his gaze fall on Cao Cao Weiguo. However, Cao Cao Weiguo didn't care. Chen Chen Boxu’s little thoughts were obvious—isn't he just liking Zhou Zhou Xiaobai and treating him as a rival in love? Childish.

Because of Chen Chen Boxu’s joining, the atmosphere at the dinner table became less relaxed. Zhou Zhou Xiaobai was annoyed by Chen Chen Boxu’s enthusiasm. After eating a few mouthfuls with no taste, she looked at Cao Cao Weiguo: "Brother Cao Weiguo, are you finished?"

Cao Cao Weiguo put down his chopsticks: "Finished."

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai stood up and said: "Then let's go."

Chen Chen Boxu hurriedly stood up and chased after Zhou Zhou Xiaobai: "Zhou Xiaobai, do you have anything to do this afternoon? If not, let's go boating, I remember you like boating very much."

Zhou Zhou Xiaobai turned to look at Cao Cao Weiguo, and Cao Cao Weiguo smiled and said: "You go play, I have something to do this afternoon, Comrade Zhou Zhou Xiaobai, Comrade Luo Yun, goodbye."

Hearing that Cao Cao Weiguo had something to do in the afternoon, Zhou Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun were a bit disappointed, but Chen Chen Boxu was overjoyed.

Cao Cao Weiguo parted ways with Zhou Zhou Xiaobai and Luo Yun at the entrance of the state-run restaurant. Without the eyesore, Chen Chen Boxu chased after Zhou Zhou Xiaobai and offered his services, as if he were an animal in heat, making Luo Yun feel a chill.

On the other side, Cao Cao Weiguo said he had something to do in the afternoon, which was not an excuse, but really had something to do. Otherwise, he would also like to go boating with two young and beautiful little beauties and row the oars in the summer.

On the way to his master’s house on his bicycle, Cao Cao Weiguo saw an acquaintance from afar.

"Zhao Suchun, stop turning it over, who would be willing to throw away edible vegetables these days."

An aunt shook her head with some heartache and persuaded Zhao Zhao Suchun, who was burying her head in picking vegetable leaves.

Zhao Zhao Suchun wiped the sweat from her forehead and smiled honestly: "I’m looking, this is such a big vegetable market."

Since Zhao Zhao Yuchu was overthrown, the Zhao family’s life had plummeted, and the whole family relied on Zhao Zhao Suchun to maintain it with difficulty. The family had no money to buy vegetables, so they could only pick vegetable leaves in the vegetable market.

Cao Cao Weiguo rode his bicycle over: "Zhao Zhao Suchun."

Zhao Zhao Suchun turned to look at Cao Cao Weiguo, and it took a long time for her to remember who Cao Cao Weiguo was: "You are, you are that Section Chief Cao, I remember you."

Cao Cao Weiguo looked at Zhao Zhao Suchun, who was covered in patches, and then looked at the vegetable basket in Zhao Zhao Suchun’s hand, which contained a few pitiful vegetable leaves.

"Come over here with me, help me bring a few words to your father."

Cao Cao Weiguo beckoned to Zhao Zhao Suchun and pushed his bicycle to a quiet corner.

Zhao Zhao Suchun followed Cao Cao Weiguo with the vegetable basket: "Section Chief Cao, just say whatever you have to say, why be so mysterious, it’s scary."

Cao Cao Weiguo took out a stack of money and tickets from his pocket and handed them to Zhao Zhao Suchun: "You, you have to restrain this careless temperament. I know your family’s situation is not good, your father is receiving education, you have to be careful in everything you do. Take these money and tickets to subsidize your family, tell your father to take care of his health and believe in the organization."

Zhao Zhao Suchun hurriedly stepped back: "Section Chief Cao, I can't take this."

Cao Cao Weiguo said with a straight face: "Why can't you take it? I am a friend of your father, but for some reasons, it is inconvenient for me to visit. These money and tickets are my little heart. This is for your father, not for you, you cannot refuse."

Zhao Zhao Suchun took the money and tickets with emotion and bowed deeply to Cao Cao Weiguo: "Thank you."

Ever since her father became a power-holder taking the capitalist road overnight, relatives, friends, and neighbors had been avoiding her family, and some people had made things difficult for her family and bullied her family. Although she didn't read much and had an honest temperament, she could also feel the warmth and coldness of human relationships.

Thinking of the attitude of relatives and friends toward her family, and then comparing it with Cao Cao Weiguo’s "goodwill," it could be said to be heaven and earth, which made her moved and grateful from the bottom of her heart.

"Okay, hide the things, if there are any difficulties in the family in the future, you can come to Nanluoguxiang to find me, you go home quickly, I have something to do, so I won't talk to you much, say hello to your father for me."

Cao Cao Weiguo said two sentences with a smile and rode his bicycle away dashingly.

Zhao Zhao Suchun stood on the spot staring at Cao Cao Weiguo going away, hid the money and tickets in her clothes, and hurriedly went home with the vegetable basket. If she lost these money and tickets, her sin would be great.

"Hey, stupid eldest, you went out for half a day and came back like this? Are we going to drink the northwest wind tonight? Tell me, are you being lazy and hiding in the outside?"

Seeing Zhao Zhao Suchun come back with a pitiful vegetable basket, Xu Xu Minrong opened her mouth and scolded her. Zhao Zhao Sumian watched coldly from the side, and Zhao Zhao Sujue was smiling at the door...

Zhao Zhao Suchun was used to Xu Xu Minrong’s scolding and didn't take it to heart at all. She put down the basket in her hand and walked quickly toward Zhao Zhao Yuchu, who was lying on the bed pretending to sleep.

"Dad! Dad! Wake up! Guess who I met today?"

Zhao Zhao Suchun reached out to push Zhao Zhao Yuchu excitedly. Zhao Zhao Yuchu opened his eyes decadently and said irritably: "Stupid eldest, stop tossing me, let me be quiet for a while."

Xu Xu Minrong walked over with wide eyes: "Stupid eldest, what are you doing making a fuss!"

Zhao Zhao Suchun said excitedly: "Dad, when I was picking vegetable leaves in the vegetable market, I met that Section Chief Cao. He also asked me to give this to you, asked me to say hello to you for him, and asked me to tell you to take care of your health and believe in the organization, and if our family has any difficulties, we can go to Nanluoguxiang to find him."

Hearing Zhao Zhao Suchun’s words and seeing the stack of money and tickets in Zhao Zhao Suchun’s hand, Zhao Zhao Yuchu and Xu Xu Minrong’s eyes widened, and Zhao Zhao Sumian and the others also had eyes shining.

"Section Chief Cao is kind."

Zhao Zhao Yuchu took the money and tickets with emotion and sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Xu Xu Minrong snatched the money and tickets and counted them with shining eyes: "Fifty Brother Yuan, one hundred catties of national grain tickets, and ten catties of meat tickets."

Zhao Zhao Sumian said in surprise: "So much."

Zhao Zhao Sujue shouted excitedly: "Can we have meat to eat? I want to eat meat, I haven't eaten meat for a long time."

Zhao Zhao Yuchu scolded with a straight face: "Quiet, look at what you look like being surprised. Hide these money and tickets, no one is allowed to move without my permission. Our family can't eat meat now, what we usually eat, we still eat, and, this matter must be kept secret, no one is allowed to say a word to the outside."
