After walking around the factory, Yi Ping'an went to a workshop, said goodbye to his father, and went home. It was still his rest time, and the factory had not told him when to go to work.

He is going to buy a bicycle today, but there is only one bicycle at home, which is a bit inconvenient.

I went to the department store and bought a Forever 28 large-bar bike. I also went to get the stamp and the license. Then I rode my bike away and bought all the cigarette and alcohol tickets I needed for the day. There was no point in keeping this thing, so I found a place where no one was and put it in the space.

I went to Qianmen Street again. There are many old brands on this street. I bought some food and started riding my bike around. Maybe it’s because it has been closed for too long, so I felt like I could get some fresh air.

While strolling around, I arrived at Yu Shui's school. When we were having dinner last night, Sha Zhu said that Yu Shui is now in the second grade of Hongxing Middle School. This kid is unlucky as he happens to be in the 633 system and has to study for two more years.

Since he was here, he might as well go see her. It was almost time to get out of school, so he told the guard that he was looking for He Yushui. When school was almost over, the guard went to call her. Yi Ping'an saw a tall and thin little girl, followed by another equally thin girl, running towards him.

"Brother Ping'an, you're back? When did you come back? Why did you think of coming to see me?" Yu Shui asked a series of questions when she saw Yi Ping'an, still a little out of breath from running.

"Hehe, you ask me so many questions, which one should I reply first?" Yi Ping'an asked with a smile.

"One by one." Yu Shui also said with a smile.

"I'm back. I came back yesterday. I came out to buy some things today. I transferred to your school and then came to see you." Yi Ping'an said as he handed her the two bags of fruits (snacks) he had bought.

Yu Shui held the paper bag, looked at Yi Ping An and asked, "Are you still leaving?"

"I don't know either. Isn't school over? Come on, I'll take you out for some delicious food. You're so skinny, you look like a bamboo pole."

Yi Ping'an felt that this girl might just have a physique that didn't allow her to gain weight. In a few decades, this would definitely be a physique that everyone would want. But now, it would be considered "heartless" for her to eat without gaining weight.

"Great, Brother Ping'an, what delicious food do we want to eat?" Yu Shui shouted happily.

"Just tell me, eat whatever you want." Yi Ping'an is not short of money.

"How about roast duck? I haven't eaten it for a long time. Is it okay?" Yu Shui knew that Yi Ping'an was not short of money. His monthly salary was equal to others' annual salary.

"Okay, why not." Yi Pingan said and looked at the person next to him, "What is this?"

"Brother Ping'an, this is my classmate Yu Haitang. We are in the same class." Yu Shui introduced her but did not mention taking her to have dinner together. She still had some allowance.

Yu Haitang? Yu Li's sister?

Yi Ping'an wanted to introduce her sister to Sha Zhu, so he had to find out more about it. Besides, he didn't need to worry about this person's food, so he said, "Then let's go eat roast duck together."

After Yi Ping'an finished speaking, he saw Yu Haitang swallowing his saliva. Yi Ping'an didn't think much of it. Life was not easy for anyone in this era.

"Brother Ping'an, thank you. But thanks, I have to go home." Yu Haitang felt a little embarrassed. It seemed a little immature of her to go out to dinner with someone when they first met.

Yi Ping'an didn't say anything, looked at Yu Shui, and gave her the choice.

"Okay, Haitang, let's do it next time. Next time, let Brother Ping'an treat us to something delicious." Yu Shui didn't think there was anything wrong, but it was obvious that Yu Haitang's eyes dimmed.

"Well, Yushui, I'll go home first. See you tomorrow. Goodbye, Brother Ping'an!" Yu Haitang left reluctantly.

"Brother Ping'an, let's go to Bianyifang to eat." Yu Shui said excitedly. Delicious food always makes people happy.

"Where is Bianyifang? I've never been there. You have to show me the way." Yi Ping'an had never been to Bianyifang, so he didn't know.

"Go to Mi Shi Hutong outside Xuanwumen. It's an old shop and the most authentic." Yu Shui had eaten there with He Daqing when she was a child, so she remembered it.

"What? Xuanwumen? Yushui, isn't this a bit far? How about Quanjude?" When Yi Ping'an heard that it was Xuanwumen, he thought it was not close to them, so it would be better to go to Quanjude.

"But Quanjude is expensive?" Yu Shui also remembered that the place belonged to West City.

"Isn't the price uniform now?" Yi Ping'an didn't know the difference between cheap and expensive. Since the joint venture was completed in 56, he didn't know how big the difference was. Shouldn't the price be uniform?

"I haven't been there for a long time. You decide. I'll listen to you." Yu Shui was at a loss.

"Then let's go to Quanjude." Yi Ping'an is a bit like a rabbit. He sticks to one path and rarely goes to unfamiliar places.

Yi Pingan took Yu Shui straight to Wangfujing and ordered a roast duck and two dishes. They ate until they were full. Looking at Yu Shui's satisfied look, Yi Pingan felt that children nowadays are really easy to raise.

"Yu Shui, why are you still so thin? Did your brother not give you money? Or are you not eating enough?" Yi Ping'an always felt that she was a little thin.

"Brother Ping'an, you are really a full man who doesn't know the hunger of a hungry man. My brother gave me money, but I have no tickets. Now I don't need tickets to eat anything. Besides, our school cafeteria just boils plain water every day without any meat. It would be strange if you can get fat." Yu Shui rolled his eyes at Yi Ping'an.

Yes, there are more and more tickets now, and you can’t buy anything without a ticket. Yi Ping’an has been away for two years, so I really can’t imagine what other people’s homes are like.

Thinking about this, I took out a few meat coupons and grain coupons and gave them to Yu Shui, not much, about one or two kilograms in total. I couldn't give too much, and I shouldn't take too many money coupons in school.

Yu Shui looked at the ticket Yi Ping An gave her and shook her head: "Brother Ping An, just eat one meal. You also have a fixed amount. If you give it to me, you will have none left."

"Here, I haven't received my tickets in the past two years. I received them all today. I don't need them." Yi Ping'an stuffed them into her hands. Fearing that she would feel burdened, he added, "Didn't you say you would make clothes for me? How's your study going?"

"Uh... I didn't learn it well, so what I'm doing now doesn't look good." The rain wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

"Ha, so you are fooling me?" Yi Ping'an also teased her.

"No, really not. How about, when I get a job and start earning a salary, I'll buy you one?" Yu Shui explained hurriedly.

"Come on, you're just kidding. You think I lack this? You just need to study hard. How are your grades now?" Yi Ping'an asked about her studies to see if she could get into a technical secondary school.

"It's okay, there should be no problem getting into high school." Yu Shui was still somewhat confident about his grades.

"What about technical secondary school?"

"It's a bit difficult to get into a technical secondary school." Yu Shui replied

"Work hard and try to get into a technical secondary school. Don't ask me why. Just know that I won't harm you. I'll be at home during this period. If you don't know, ask me." Yi Ping'an didn't tell her the reason. He knew that Yu Shui was not stupid. On the contrary, she was very smart.

"Okay, I get it. I'll listen to you. Tomorrow... no, I'll go home starting today." Yu Guo answered decisively.

"Okay, then I'll take you to school to get your things." Yi Ping'an is not the kind of person who would hesitate.

I went back to school to get something and was on my way back.

Yu Shui asked Yi Ping An: "Brother Ping An, why do you want to bring Yu Hai Tang to dinner today?"

Yi Ping'an didn't expect her to ask this, "Why else? Isn't she your classmate? And you two came out together. I thought you were good friends."

"You don't seem to like her?" Yi Ping'an asked.

"Not really, I just think she is too goal-oriented. She plays with me just because I'm not short of money and I'm not stupid." Yu Shui said.

"Is her family poor?" Yi Ping'an asked.

"It's not that good. Her father is a worker in a textile factory with a low salary. Her mother doesn't have a job. She has an older sister and a younger brother. Her sister is unemployed and does odd jobs, while her younger brother goes to school.

She started school later than me, she is two years older than me, and she is in the same class as me. Her family favors boys over girls, and she only hangs out with people who are useful to her. I don’t want her to get in touch with you.”

Yu Shui was still a little angry as she spoke. She didn't want to bring Yu Haitang today. She came here on her own initiative.

"Heh~ Do you think I'm stupid? If she wants to contact me, just give her a chance?" Yi Ping'an also disliked Yu Haitang. Not only was she too snobbish, but she was also noisy.

"I didn't say you're stupid, I just think her motives are not pure. She insisted on following me today." Yu Shui explained.

"That's it. You have to trust your brother Ping'an. I'm not the kind of person who can be relied upon by anyone." Yi Ping'an boasted.

"Hahahaha" Yu Shui laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

The two of them returned to the courtyard chatting and laughing.
