Do You Remember?

"What, did you remember me?"

Wang Jianli released his hand from Xu Sui's mouth and looked at her face, which had hardly changed and was still as beautiful and dazzling as before, making it impossible to look away.

He couldn't help but sneer, "You were just pretending not to know me, but you should know me now, right?"

Xu Sui gradually calmed down, figured out the general truth of the matter, and quietly took a few steps back to distance herself from the man in front of her.

"Now I remember, what were you planning to do by blocking my way?"

"I don't want to do anything, I just want to see how you're doing. We've been on good terms for a while now, so we're old acquaintances. Now that we meet, I should at least say hello."

Noticing Xu Sui's subtle actions and the aloofness and coldness in her words, Wang Jianli chuckled, not surprised at all.

After all, this person has always been cold and aloof. Back then, in order to go to the army to find her fiancé, she could even say without expression that there was no relationship between them and tell him to stop bothering her.

Xu Sui walked past the other person and was about to leave.

The next second, his path was blocked again.

Xu Sui looked up at the young man in the white shirt in front of her, her expression still calm and without a trace of panic.

"Now that you've said your piece, you should let me go."

Wang Jianli's gaze fell on Xu Sui's face, paused for a moment, and then asked, "You didn't marry your fiancé?"

He had heard that her fiancé was eligible to accompany her to the military.

Given her personality, if she could stay in the army, why would she run back?

Nine times out of ten, something must have happened, and they had no choice but to slink back.

Xu Sui shook her head. "No, we're already married."

"My husband is still waiting for me at home, please move aside."

Wang Jianli's eyes suddenly darkened, his face turned grim, and he stared at the person in front of him, speaking each word clearly.

"You really married him?"

So all that time he supported another man's wife for so long, sending her all sorts of food and handing over his own pocket money, and in the end he didn't even get the title of ex-girlfriend.

He really is a complete sucker.

Xu Sui nodded, cutting through the mess swiftly and decisively, leaving no room for any hope.

"Yes, we are already married, and we have a very good relationship."

After saying that, she walked past Wang Jianli and left directly.

This time, the other party did not stop her.

Xu Sui left the textile factory smoothly and had just come out of the factory.

Old Mrs. Qin, who was guarding in the corner by the door, spotted her figure and quickly got up to follow her.

She muttered to herself.

The exams are all over, and this isn't the way home.

Where are we going this time?

After thinking about it, Grandma Qin felt that Xu Sui must be hiding something from the family, so she followed her from a distance.

Follow along.

She saw Xu Sui walk into a state-run restaurant from afar, order a lot of food, including meat buns, rice, and even a plate of braised pork, and then sit down in a corner to eat.

Grandma Qin's eyes widened instantly, and she almost drooled.

That's meat! Braised pork, and big meat buns!

At her age, she hadn't eaten a big meat bun in years, let alone fragrant braised pork.

I didn’t expect Xu Sui to be able to order so many good things in one go, and she’s eating them all by herself. Isn’t this secretly treating herself to a special meal?

These things must have been given to her by Qin Yunzhou.

What kind of life does Xu Sui have? She lost one good man, but another one came along.

In a state-run restaurant.

It's a rare treat to come here and have a nice meal.

Xu Sui made a point of arriving early so she could be the first to grab some meat dishes from the state-run restaurant.

In years of famine, both grain and meat are scarce resources.

State-run restaurants weren't much better. They only had meat dishes one or two days a week, and even then, there wasn't much meat—not enough for just a few people. It was all a matter of luck.

When Xu Sui met Wang Jianli at the textile factory, she initially thought she was just unlucky.

However, she just happened to arrive at the state-run restaurant where they served braised pork and large meat buns. Smelling the delicious food, she felt that her luck wasn't so bad after all.

A plate of braised pork, with its perfect color, aroma, and taste, three steaming hot meat buns, and a bowl of white rice were quickly served on the table.

Xu Sui first packed away two of the meat buns.

This is for Qin Yunzhou.

I was lucky enough to find some meat buns.

With the grain coupons given by Qin Yunzhou, it was just the right time to buy them.

She also wanted to save two for him to try.

Xu Sui was enjoying her meal immensely.

Old Mrs. Qin, who was hiding in the corner, was not having such a good time.

At midday, she didn't eat anything, just stared at others eating. Her stomach was growling with hunger, her body felt weak and her vision blurred, and she was drooling all over the place, almost unable to stand up.

Old Mrs. Qin was so hungry she could hardly stand it. Just as she was about to shamelessly use her status as an elder to ask for some food,

I opened my eyes and looked.

Xu Sui had finished the last piece of braised pork, took out a handkerchief to wipe her mouth, got up and left the state-run restaurant.

They weren't heading home, but in a different direction.

Old Mrs. Qin slapped her thigh hard, regretting it to the core, and couldn't help but pat her own face.

I told you to hesitate, I told you to hide.

Well, that's it. Aside from spending most of the day without any meat, they haven't even had a sip of water.

However, we've already gone this far.

Old Mrs. Qin gritted her teeth and followed him again, dragging her body, which was so hungry that her eyes were almost black, hiding here and there, following from a distance.

while walking.

Just when Old Lady Qin was about to starve to the point of not being able to hold on any longer...

She finally saw Xu Sui walk into a place.

I looked up and was shocked by what I saw.

A grain depot! It's actually a grain depot!

Maybe the grain depot is hiring too.

No, it's impossible.

Even if the grain depot were to recruit workers, how could it possibly be Xu Sui's turn?

A grain depot is not something a small textile factory can compare to.

If we're talking about which workplaces have been the most sought-after in recent years, besides meat processing plants, it would be grain depots and state-run restaurants.

Especially the jobs at the first two companies, which are so valuable that money can't buy them, and most people can't even find out when they're hiring.

Xu Sui was neither a family member of an employee of the grain station, nor a college graduate, nor a demobilized soldier.

There's no way she could pass the exam to get a job at the grain station. Even if she managed to get a job offer, it would just be a formality.

This time, Old Lady Qin didn't wait outside.

The textile factory might still have some hope, but the grain depot certainly didn't.

Besides, it's not even certain whether Xu Sui is here to take the job recruitment exam.

Old Mrs. Qin dragged her body, which was so hungry that her vision was blurred, back home step by step.

She didn't tell anyone what she discovered today.

Until the afternoon.

Xu Sui returned from outside.

Hearing the commotion, Old Lady Qin was the first to run out and pull the person to a secluded corner.

"Sui Sui, what did you do today?"
