Gu Zhiyuan's eyes glanced here. He had already seen the bus, and naturally saw Xu Ningyan getting off the bus.

With his thoughts moving, he nodded apologetically to the people from the security department who had gathered around him: "Sorry, wait a moment."

After speaking, he took two steps forward, waved to Xu Ningyan, and said in a familiar tone: "I've been waiting for you for a long time. Is the matter done?"

Closing her eyes and sighing, Xu Ningyan raised her feet resignedly, raised a smile, and hurried forward: "Gu Zhiqing, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting for so long!"

While excitedly grabbing a handful of money and tickets from his pocket, he showed them to Gu Zhiyuan: "Look, this is the money and tickets my parents gave me to treat my illness and take care of my body! And the factory leader also said, From now on, let me get ten yuan every month! Gu Zhiqing, I have money——"

His eyes were red as he spoke, his voice choked with sobs, and he held on to Gu Zhiyuan's sleeves.

Gu Zhiyuan took the money in her hand soothingly, helped organize it, and motioned for her to take it away: "Put these away. There will be a lot of money for medical treatment in the future! Don't lose it!"

Xu Ningyan hurriedly collected the money receipts, and was so excited that she was a little incoherent: "Thank you Gu Zhiqing, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known how to go to the factory leaders, and I wouldn't have been able to get the money! It's hard for you to wait here for me. I don’t know how to thank you, how about I treat you to dinner?”

The people from the security department next to them listened to the whole scene and looked at the two of them. A man who looked like a leader stood up and said, "What is your relationship? Which unit do you belong to? What are you doing here?"

Only then did Xu Ningyan look at the people next to him, and when he saw their security department uniforms, he looked frightened, and timidly shrank behind Gu Zhiyuan, not daring to speak.

Gu Zhiyuan then explained unhurriedly: "We are both from the Unity Brigade under the Red Star Commune. I am an educated youth, and she is from the Unity Brigade. She fell into the water and had a high fever and was in poor health. Our team leader wrote a letter of introduction to let her Go to the county hospital for a check-up. I happened to be visiting relatives in the county, so I took care of her on the way."

The people in the security department had long looked at Gu Zhiyuan's dressing style and felt that it was inconsistent. Now that they heard that he was an educated youth, those inconsistencies became clear.

However, we still have to check what needs to be checked. He signaled to the two of them: "Have you brought a letter of introduction?"

Both of them took out letters of introduction from their pockets and handed them to the people in the security department.

The people from the security department looked at it carefully before handing it back to the two of them.

He also asked where Gu Zhiyuan’s relatives lived.who is it?

Another person who looked a little more kind also asked who Xu Ningyan's parents were.Which unit?

Both of them answered honestly.

Someone immediately ran back to the factory, probably to check.

The two people here were not allowed to leave, but no one was questioning them anymore, so they were asked to stand aside and wait for the verification results.

Xu Ningyan just lowered her head and grabbed Gu Zhiyuan's sleeves, following suit.

Gu Zhiyuan took Xu Ningyan to the side.

The people from the security department were not too far away, and they looked here from time to time.

It was not easy for Gu Zhiyuan to just stand silently with Xu Ningyan. After all, he was the one who used Xu Ningyan to dispel the security department's suspicion on him.

Furthermore, although Xu Ningyan's performance exceeded his expectations, he could not take it lightly until his suspicions were completely cleared.

She was afraid that others would come over to talk to Xu Ningyan and say something they shouldn't have said.

After thinking for a while, he took the initiative to find a topic: "Did things go well at your parents' factory?"

After asking, I felt that I had asked nonsense. If things go wrong, can I get 31 yuan in compensation, as well as meat stamps, non-staple food stamps and cloth stamps?

This is equivalent to one month's salary of a first-level worker.

Not to mention giving Xu Ningyan ten yuan every month. I think the Xu family's parents were bleeding heavily.

Thinking of this, Xu Ningyan's eyes darkened a little.

Xu Ningyan didn't know that in just such a short time, Gu Zhiyuan would have seventy or eighty thoughts.

He nodded with some emotion: "There are still many good people in this world! I used to be afraid of this and that, and I always felt that no one would care about me or help me! Now I realize that this person still has to stand up for himself! Otherwise, you won’t be able to stand up on your own, and others won’t be able to help you even if they want to!”

Gu Zhiyuan took another look at Xu Ningyan. She was a transparent little girl. As long as she could understand this truth, her life would be easier in the future.

The two chatted for a while, mostly with Xu Ningyan talking. They stood on the side of the road with nothing to do, looking left and right.

She had never seen many things in the county town in the 70s, so she simply asked Gu Zhiyuan.

Although Gu Zhiyuan didn't talk much, he always answered questions.

About half an hour passed before someone finally ran out of the machine shop and whispered something in the leader's ear.

The leader nodded, walked over and said to Xu Ningyan and several pedestrians who were also stopped: "You can go."

Everyone felt a little unhappy. They were walking on the road calmly, but they were stopped by the security department and interrogated for a long time. They didn't explain clearly what was going on, so they were allowed to leave so lightly?

I wanted to argue for a while and look at the people in the security department, but they finally tolerated it.

It happened that the next bus arrived at the stop again, and Gu Zhiyuan and Xu Ningyan got on the bus.

There were not many people on the bus, and there were still seats in the last row.

After the two sat down, neither of them spoke, and they walked in silence all the way to the county guest house.

Xu Ningyan got out of the car, and Gu Zhiyuan followed suit.

Only two people got off at this stop, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the bus go away.

Seeing that there was no one around, Gu Zhiyuan nodded towards Xu Ningyan: "Thank you, just now——"

Xu Ningyan immediately interrupted Gu Zhiyuan: "You're welcome, I'm just repaying Gu Zhiqing's life-saving grace!"

Not a word was asked about why Gu Zhiyuan appeared near the machinery factory or why the people from the security department were chasing after him.

After saying that, he went straight into the guest house.

No matter what the reason for Gu Zhiyuan's appearance in the machinery factory was, whether it was a coincidence or intentional, or if he had any other intentions, she didn't want to hear it.

Sometimes, knowing too much is not a good thing.

She was just a helpless country girl, and the less known about her, the better.

Gu Zhiyuan didn't expect Xu Ningyan to behave like this, and his fearful attitude of avoiding him made him couldn't help but feel his eyebrows beating.

Looking at the back of Xu Ningyan entering the guest house, he couldn't help but feel a little more curious and inquisitive. This fourth girl of the Xu family was a bit interesting.

The waiter who took over from Aunt Hu at the front desk still remembered Xu Ningyan. When he saw her coming in, he nodded to her and reminded her: "It's a coincidence that you are back. We have dinner in the cafeteria. If it is later, it will be gone."

Xu Ningyan thanked the waiter and asked how to get to the canteen. She didn't go into the room and walked directly to the canteen.

She was very tired this afternoon and needed to eat some delicious food.
