Jia Dongxu was chatting with a few co-workers in the workshop, but his eyes kept looking at the door. He was thinking about Yi Zhonghai and kept glancing at the clock, hoping that his master would come back soon.

Finally, when Yi Zhonghai appeared at the door of the workshop, Jia Dongxu immediately stood up, picked up the meal for Yi Zhonghai, and walked quickly to greet him.

"Master, you have worked hard. Please sit down and take a rest." Jia Dongxu said with concern and handed the meal to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was very happy to see Jia Dongxu caring about him so much. He felt that his love for this apprentice was not in vain. So he took out the remaining half pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Jia Dongxu.

"Here's half a pack of cigarettes for you. Master, I don't like smoking. Also, please help me return the bicycle to Xu Damao." Yi Zhonghai instructed, and at the same time took the meal handed to him by his apprentice and started eating happily.

Jia Dongxu didn't dislike the half pack of cigarettes given by his master at all. He was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth. He carefully put the cigarettes into his pocket and pushed his bicycle to return them to Xu Damao, while also showing off his cigarettes.

The other apprentices in the workshop were envious of Yi Zhonghai for being so nice to Jia Dongxu. Then they saw that their master had lowered his head and thought they were lucky enough that their master didn't want their filial piety.

On his way to return the car, Jia Dongxu happened to meet He Yuzhu coming out of the cafeteria. He said enviously: "Shazhu, you guys get off work so early! I envy you!"

He Yuzhu felt that no matter how he answered, it was not right, so he changed the subject and asked, "What are you going to do, pushing a bicycle?"

"Oh, you are talking about this. My master had to go out for something today and borrowed it from Xu Damao. I'm going to return it now." Jia Dongxu explained.

When He Yuzhu heard Jia Dongxu mention Xu Damao, he remembered that he had promised to look for him. So he suggested: "Why don't you give me the bicycle and I will help you send it back. I just need to look for Damao!"

Jia Dongxu thought this was a good idea, just what he wanted. He hadn't had time to show off his cigarettes to others yet. So he nodded, indicating his agreement with the proposal, and left happily.

He Yuzhu looked at Jia Dongxu who was happy alone. Although he didn't understand why he was happy, he didn't pay much attention to it. He pushed the cart and went to find Xu Damao. When he arrived, Xu Damao was alone in the house.

"Da Mao, I'm here to see you. By the way, I'm here to return the bicycle that Uncle Er borrowed from you." He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao and said with a smile on his face.

Xu Damao said "Oh", and then he kept staring at He Yuzhu without saying a word. He Yuzhu felt a little scared by his gaze, and said uncomfortably: "If you were looking at me, I would almost think you were in love with me."

When Xu Damao heard this, a sly smile appeared on his face: "Go away, I like you? Isn't the widow in the village more attractive?" Xu Damao thought of the young widow he met when he went to the countryside this time, and a smile of aftertaste appeared on his face.

"Don't look at me like that, and don't smile at me in such a lewd way. It makes me uncomfortable!" He Yuzhu said, taking a step back.

Xu Damao looked at He Yuzhu's reaction and laughed, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore." He restrained his smile and said seriously, "Actually, I wanted to praise you."

He Yuzhu was stunned and said uncertainly: "Praise me?"

Damao nodded, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes. He stood up, walked to the side of He Yuzhu, and looked at He Yuzhu carefully.

"He Yuzhu, you have really changed a lot recently." Xu Damao said, his tone revealing a seriousness, "Not only have you grown taller, your skin has also become whiter, and your facial features look more three-dimensional."

He stretched out his hand, pretending to touch He Yuzhu's cheek to see if she had put on powder. He Yuzhu reacted quickly and blocked Xu Damao's hand.

"Xu Damao, please don't touch me." He Yuzhu joked with a smile on his face, "Just say it, why did you touch me? I'm a real man!"

"Hehehe, I'm just curious. I want to see if you are putting on powder like a little girl." Xu Damao withdrew his hand embarrassedly and explained.

He Yuzhu didn't want to continue this topic, he felt a little awkward. So he changed the subject and suggested: "I'm off work, do you want to go out for dinner together? How about we go out for a meal?"

When Xu Damao heard that there was food, his eyes lit up immediately. But soon he seemed to have thought of something, shook his head and said, "No need to go out to eat. I brought home a chicken yesterday, you can come to my house and cook it together, we can eat and drink at the same time, isn't it better?"

He Yuzhu thought about it for a while and thought it would be interesting to go to Xu Damao's house for dinner, so he smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

After Xu Damao waited for He Yuzhu to agree, he slung his arm across the bicycle, and then waited for He Yuzhu to sit down before riding home.

Xu Damao was delighted when he heard He Yuzhu's answer. He got on the bicycle excitedly, then turned to look at He Yuzhu, waiting for him to sit firmly.

He Yuzhu understood and quickly adjusted his sitting position, then gently patted Xu Damao on the shoulder, indicating that he could set off.

Xu Damao pedaled hard, and the bicycle moved steadily towards the courtyard. He Yuzhu sat comfortably on the back seat, enjoying this rare comfort.

Many years later, they can still recall the scene at that time: the road under the setting sun, the bicycles steadily driving towards the courtyard, and the faint warmth and happiness. All of this has become the most precious memory in their hearts.
