Chapter 201: A Clear Conscience

Chapter 201 A clear conscience

Susie pulled Qiao Mu, "Don't change it. If you don't have enough money, I have it here."

Qiao Mu was still hesitating, so Susie said: "Keep the US dollars, I want to buy some good things in the future."

Qiao Mu then nodded.

There was a taxi stand outside the overseas Chinese store, and a car was parked there. The two got in the car and returned to the guest house.

Uncle Liao and Zhu Zhicheng hadn't come back yet, so Su Qian packed up all the things, put them at the front desk, and took Qiao Mu out again.

The two had dinner in the restaurant, and Susie said, "Come with me to the department store."

Outside the store, Susie first exchanged some industrial coupons and cloth coupons with others at a high price.

After entering the store, Susie pulled Qiao Mu straight to the men's clothing counter.

Susie looked at the counter and quickly spotted a long men's black down jacket with a price tag of 120 yuan. She looked at Qiao Mu's height and estimated it to be around 180. Susie said to the salesperson

: "Get me a XL size."

Qiao Mu saw Susie looking at him and realized that she wanted to buy it for him. He pulled Susie and said, "You don't have to buy it for me. I'm quite warm in a military coat."

Susie shook her head, "Then you can't wear a military coat every day."

Qiao Mu blushed, "I have two identical military coats, and I change them often." He was afraid that Susie would dislike him for not being clean.

Susie couldn't help laughing. At this time, the salesperson took out the large down jacket. Susie handed it to Qiao Mu, "Try it."

Qiao Mu obediently took off his military coat and put on his down jacket.

Susie looked back and forth and said, "It's pretty good."

Qiao Mu is tall and has broad shoulders. When he puts his clothes on, they look like they are being held up by a clothes rack. He looks particularly stiff.

She said to the salesperson: "Invoicing, this is it."

After buying a down jacket, Susie took Qiao Mu to look at the woolen sweaters.

In the middle of winter, Qiao Mu wore a white shirt underneath his military coat.

After buying a black V-neck sweater, Susie stretched out her hand to pull up Qiao Mu's trouser legs.

Under a pair of thin blue pants, he was wearing nothing, exposing his white calves.

Qiao Mu had lost control of his parents when he was ten years old. His uncle was a man and how could he have thought of this. Therefore, Qiao Mu had been wearing a single pair of trousers in the winter these years.

Susie felt distressed and went to buy two sets of autumn clothes and trousers for Qiao Mu.

The corners of Qiao Mu's mouth were always raised. Susie arranged these for him. He felt that the two of them were like a couple living together, and he was very happy.

After buying clothes, Susie took Qiao Mu to the grocery store to buy some pastries and candies, planning to go home and give them away.

The two of them returned to the guest house carrying large and small bags, and took back the things they had left at the front desk.

Uncle Liao and Zhu Zhicheng came back in the evening. After dinner, Zhu Zhicheng was a little restless.

Su Qian and Qiao Mu sat next to each other on the bed and talked quietly. Uncle Liao looked at Zhu Zhicheng and said, "If you think you should go back, then go. The most important thing for a person is to have a clear conscience."

Zhu Zhicheng lowered his head, "I——"

Uncle Liao smiled and said, "Go ahead. The train tickets are so expensive. When we get back to Guangxi Province, we won't know when we will see each other again."

Zhu Zhicheng was silent for a while, then took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go there."

Zhu Zhicheng opened the door and left. Su Qian turned to ask Uncle Liao, "Did Brother Zhu go home?"

Uncle Liao nodded, "This child is a loyal and kind-hearted person. He left home that day, and I still can't let go of him."

"I have been very worried these past two days."

Susie shook her head, "Brother Zhu is really, well, if it were me, I wouldn't go back."

Uncle Liao smiled. In his opinion, Su Qian and Zhu Zhicheng were actually the same kind of people at heart.

There was no bus at night, so Zhu Zhicheng jogged all the way, running for ten miles before standing in front of the wooden door again.

The wooden door was still ajar. Zhu Zhicheng pushed the door open and went in. A girl in the side room opened the door and was splashing water. When she saw Zhu Zhicheng, she quickly put down the washbasin and ran over. She smiled happily, "Brother, you haven't left yet. Mom said you

Went back to the countryside."

Zhu Zhicheng touched her head. His sister was seventeen years old and had grown into a big girl. When he left, her sister was only ten years old and still a little girl.

Zhu Bihua pulled Zhu Zhicheng and said, "Brother, it's cold outside, let's go inside and talk."

Zhu Zhicheng shook his head, took out a stack of money that he had prepared long ago from his pocket, and stuffed it into his sister's hand, "Give this money to your parents and say it will be used for Zhigao's wedding."

Zhu Bihua saw that everyone was united and said in surprise: "So many? Brother, where did you get so much money?"

Zhu Zhicheng smiled and touched his sister's head, "Big brother is gone. Listen to your parents at home. If you have anything to do, write to big brother."

After Zhu Zhicheng said that, he turned around and left.

Zhu Bihua was stunned for a moment, "Brother, please don't leave -"

The door of the main room opened and Zhu Yongqing walked out, only to see a figure disappearing at the door.

Zhu Bihua handed him the money in her hand, "The eldest brother gave it to me, saying it was for the second brother's wedding."

He Lamei then came out of the house, took the money from Zhu Yongqing's hand, spat on it, and started counting them one by one.

After counting, He Lamei said in disappointment: "It's only a hundred! This is enough for what you can do!"

Zhu Yongqing sighed, "You——"

Zhu Zhicheng listened to the conversation of several people in the room, smiled, and slowly walked away.

After returning to the guest house, Zhu Zhicheng handed a large stack of money to Su Qian, "This money is no longer needed, so I will give it back to you."

Susie counted the money and asked, "Don't you want to give it to your family?"

Zhu Zhicheng said: "I gave you one hundred."

"That's the money I earned from burning charcoal. My younger brother is getting married. As the eldest brother, I can support him as much as I can."

"However, no matter how much we are capable of doing, I don't think it is necessary to lend them money to give them face."

Susie nodded. It seemed that although Brother Zhu was kind, he was not a fool. He had his own bottom line and principles in doing things.

This is pretty good.

Susie collected the money, returned to her room, packed out a change of clothes, took a shower in the bathroom, and then went to bed.

Early the next morning, everyone had breakfast and headed to the train station.

There weren't many things when we arrived, only Uncle Liao and Zhu Zhicheng brought bedrolls and some simple luggage.

But now there is a lot more luggage. Susie's revolving bottle alone is quite big, and the three hams are also big and heavy.

Qiao Mu was holding the revolving bottle. He knew that Susie treasured this thing very much and must not touch it.

Zhu Zhicheng carried a bedroll on his back and ham on his shoulders.

Uncle Liao also carried his own bedroll and walked forward on crutches.

Susie carried her travel bag and everyone lined up to get on the train.

There were fewer people in the soft-sleeper compartment than in the hard-seat compartment, and Susie saw that the people lining up here were obviously better dressed than most ordinary people.

Also, for such an expensive soft sleeper ticket, either only wealthy people are willing to buy it, or the company reimburses it. If the company can reimburse the soft sleeper, then it is probably a bit high level.

When we got on the bus, everyone lined up neatly and there was no crowding.
