Master Yu's stall is at the base of the city wall in the west of the city. When Song Yuanchao and the others came there, they saw a simple stall at a glance. The entire stall was built with a wooden frame and two pieces of oilcloth. There were two people in the stall, including the one who was busy outside.

She is a woman in her forties.

"Master!" Xiao Lao stepped forward to say hello. When he saw Xiao Lao coming, the middle-aged woman who was clearing away the bowls looked up and saw him. She immediately asked with a smile: "You guys are here at this hour? The store is not normal right now.

Are you working?"

"I've asked for leave. I have something to ask Master." Xiao Lao helped his wife clean up and said while cleaning up: "By the way, Master, I have already obtained the national food stamps that my eldest brother asked for. You don't have to ask for help anymore. Look, it's enough."

It’s more than ten kilograms, plus the replacement ones should be enough.”

Seeing Xiao Lao take out a stack of national food stamps from his pocket, the wife was stunned at first and then very happy: "So many? Yesterday I was telling your elder brother that national food stamps were not easy to get, but in a blink of an eye, I got them? How about changing them?"

How much? Tell me the number and my wife will give it to you later."

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Lao directly stuffed the nationwide food stamps into the wife's pocket: "Isn't the elder brother's business my business? How can one family talk about two families? Use it first! By the way, Master."

, Speaking of the national food stamps, I have to thank these people, thanks to their help."

After saying that, Xiao Lao stretched out his hand and pointed towards Song Yuan who was standing aside. Only then did the wife notice the four men and women in extraordinary clothes, and immediately stepped forward to thank them.

At this time, Song Yuanchao and the others realized that the national food stamps that Xiao Lao wanted to exchange for were actually for Master Yu's family. If they had known this, what would they have exchanged for? Compared to Master Yu's favor back then, these national food stamps were nothing.

Song Yuanchao and others hurriedly came forward to greet his wife. At this time, Xiao Lao told his wife that these people not only helped solve the national food stamp problem, but also knew the master. They just went to the restaurant to inquire about the master. This said

It turned out to be a coincidence, so Xiao Lao specially asked for a leave and took them to see the master.

When she heard that these men knew her, the wife became even more enthusiastic. She asked Song Yuan to sit down with them and asked them if they had eaten. She was planning to get some food for them.

Song Yuanchao quickly said to them that there was no need to work anymore and that they had just eaten at the restaurant. After Xiaolao brought the people there, he left first. He asked for a temporary leave and had to go back immediately. It would not be good to stay away from the hotel for a long time.

At this time, Master Yu came out from behind and saw his old woman talking to four young people. He immediately stepped forward and asked with a smile what he wanted to eat.

"Master Yu, hello."

Song Yuan stood up towards them and greeted Master Yu: "I haven't seen you for many years. I went to the store to look for you. Who thought you were here? How have you been doing these years?"

"Okay, okay, who are you...?" Master Yu replied subconsciously. He has worked in state-owned hotels for many years and has dealt with a lot of people. Looking at Song Yuanchao, he felt a little familiar. As for the other two

But he had definitely never seen a beautiful woman before, and he simply ignored Qin Zhengguo. Qin Zhengguo had gained a lot of weight over the years, how could he still recognize her original appearance?

"Master Yu, do you still remember that one winter, two young people came to the store to beg for food. You took them to the back alley and gave them steamed buns and noodle soup, and then stuffed them with a bag of stick noodles?" Master Yu looked like

He is much older and has a lot of weather on his face. Seeing this good man end up like this, losing his job just to help others, Qin Zhengguo feels really uncomfortable.

Qin Zhengguo said to Master Yu, illustrating the original scene in his hand.

Master Yu was stunned for a moment, looked at Qin Zhengguo carefully, then looked at Song Yuanchao beside him, and suddenly laughed: "I remember, I remember... you two were the educated youths back then, right? So many years have passed, like this

Everything is different from before. If you didn’t mention it, I really wouldn’t have recognized it.”

"Yes, yes, it's us!" Qin Zhengguo nodded repeatedly, pointed at Song Yuanchao and said: "It was just the two of us back then. Thanks to your help, we didn't starve to death. It's been so many years. Come back this time to see who misses you.

Now……."

"Haha." Master Yu smiled, as if he didn't want to say anything more about his own affairs. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Song Yuan and them.

Naturally, the cigarettes Master Yu smoked were not good ones. They were the cheapest Sheepqun brand in the area. This kind of cigarettes was similar to Dajie. One egg could be exchanged for a pack. Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo also smoked it back then, and this kind of cigarettes was not available at that time.

You can often draw it, because when you are poor and have no money, you can't even draw sheep, so you can only make do by drying some leaves.

Everyone, please go and try it soon.]

I thanked him, took the cigarette and lit it, and took a spicy sip straight to my forehead, but at the same time, the past events in my mind also flooded into my mind, as if I was back in those days.

Lin Yan and Ying Caixia also came forward to see Master Yu and Mrs. Yu and thanked them. Although they were not here that year, the little food Master Yu gave them was life-saving food that allowed the four of them to survive that winter!

To put it bluntly, without the help of Master Yu, the four of them might have starved to death that year. Where would they be today?

It was getting dark, and the business at the stall was not good to begin with, and now there were even fewer people.

Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo were talking to Master Yu, while Lin Yan and Ying Caixia went to help Master Yu pack things and prepare to close the stall.

Mrs. Yu quickly said no, no, but how could Lin Yan and the others be willing? Unable to resist, they had no choice but to help, and quickly packed up.

Sitting and smoking, chatting about the past and expressing their feelings, both Song Yuanchao and Qin Zhengguo couldn't help but shed tears.

Master Yu was also extremely emotional. He never thought that his kindness back then would be met by several educated youths who came specifically to see him today. It seems that this good man will be rewarded. Looking at the clothes Song Yuanchao and the others are wearing now, they should be living a good life.

But it’s normal to think about it. Educated youths and so on are all literate, different from the rough and tumble guy who only knows how to be a cook.

As they talked, they talked about Master Yu's departure from the state-owned hotel. Qin Zhengguo was very angry and defended Master Yu, but Master Yu was very indifferent. He told Qin Zhengguo that the matter had long been over, and that he had indeed violated the regulations.

, no wonder the leaders.

And now that Xiaolao has joined a state-owned hotel, it counts as compensation from his employer, so there is no need to mention this matter again.

"Master Yu, this stall of yours...?"

"Haha, it's not bad. There's no problem in supporting yourself. Besides, policies have gotten better and better in the past few years, and the lives of us people have become better and better." Master Yu said with a smile.

Looking at Master Yu's smile, Song Yuanchao felt extremely emotional. These are the most honest Chinese people! There are many people like Master Yu. They have worked hard all their lives and helped others all their lives. Although the pressure of life makes their lives difficult.

I stumbled and stumbled, but I always had expectations and optimism for good things in my heart.

After finishing the stall, Master Yu invited them to sit at home.

Song Yuanchao and the others helped Master Yu and Mrs. Yu bring their things home but did not go in to visit them. He said that it was too late today and they were just passing by this time. They would definitely come to their home as guests next time they had a chance.

Seeing that Song Yuanchao and the others were still carrying their luggage, Master Yu didn't insist and sent Song Yuanchao and them away. When Song Yuanchao and the others walked far away, he looked back and saw Master Yu standing at the entrance of the alley waving to them.

Early the next morning, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu went out to the stall as usual, dragged the guy to the stall, and started setting up shop.

Just halfway through the preparation, Mrs. Yu shouted in surprise. Master Yu quickly asked what happened. Mrs. Yu actually took out a thick envelope from under the frame containing pots and pans.

"Where did this come from?" Master Yu asked.

"I don't know. It's hidden underneath. I took something to dig it out."

"Open it and see what's inside."

Mrs. Yu was shocked when she opened the envelope. Inside were two thick stacks of banknotes, totaling 2,000 yuan. In addition to the banknotes, there were dozens of kilograms of national food stamps and a handwritten note.

.

After reading the note, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu understood what happened to the money and food stamps. It turned out that Song Yuanchao had secretly stuffed them in yesterday.

The note said that these money and food stamps were to thank Master Yu for his help back then. Although this was far from enough for Master Yu's help to them, because they were in a hurry and did not make any preparations, they could only use this method first.

Express gratitude.

In addition, there was also a line of advice written on the note, which was a suggestion to Master Yu. After all, the small county is too small, and it is not a long-term job to be an individual here. Song Yuanchao suggested that Master Yu go to Chang'an to set up a stall. If he can open a store, he

Better.

Master Yu has good skills. Chang'an is a big city. It will be much better than home there. In addition, they learned from Xiao Lao that Master Yu's family wanted national food stamps, so they also left some food stamps for them, hoping to

Help Master Yu and his family.

After reading the note, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu looked at each other and said nothing for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, Master Yu quickly stuffed the envelope into his pocket and ran out in a hurry. But half an hour later, he came back, shook his head at Mrs. Yu, and said that he was late, and he was over there at the guest house.

Tell him that Song Yuanchao and the others checked out and left a few early mornings.

"Then what should I do? You can't take this money! What's the point of taking this money?" Mrs. Yu said anxiously.

Master Yu also had the same idea. At the beginning, he just helped Song Yuanchao and the others with a little help. Anyone with the ability would do such a thing, let alone someone like Master Yu.

But now Song Yuanchao and the others actually gave so much money and so many national food stamps. This really shocked Master Yu and Mrs. Yu. What if they took the money? The original help was not for today's reward. Master Yu

I felt very uneasy.

But now that Song Yuanchao and the others have left without leaving any contact information, there is no one to return these things to, which makes Master Yu not sure what to do.

The two couldn't help but discuss it, but after discussing for a long time, there was no good solution. They could only collect the money and food stamps for the time being.

That night, Master Yu and Mrs. Yu didn't sleep well all night. They didn't know what to do with the huge sum of money. At the same time, Song Yuanchao's suggestion in the note that Master Yu go to Chang'an to open a store gave Master Yu a great deal.

of temptation.

Master Yu certainly knows that Chang'an is a big city, and its population and consumption power are far beyond what their small county can match. Moreover, if he can open a store in Chang'an with his own skills, he will definitely do good business.

It's just that it was impossible to take this step due to limited conditions before. Setting up a store in Chang'an plus other expenses would cost hundreds of dollars. Master Yu's stall could barely make tens of dollars in a month, and he would not eat or drink for a year.

I can't afford this store either.

But now with the money left by Song Yuanchao and the others, Master Yu can not only easily buy a store in Chang'an, but also take over the entire family. Thinking of this, even those who don't usually care much about money

Master Yu couldn't help but be moved. He lit cigarettes one after another and didn't sleep much all night. It was not until dawn that Master Yu finally made a decision.
Chapter completed!
