Chapter 23 Sorrow

The next day, Gu Yun went to find Cao Kaijin after breakfast, ready to exchange some cloth coupons with him.

Speaking of which, she hadn't seen Cao Kaijin since the day he sent her and Liu Xiaoling back.

A moment later, Gu Yun arrived at the gate of the educated youth compound. She was afraid that others would see her and spread gossip, so she didn't dare to knock on the door directly, but waited in the corner of the wall nearby.

It was really inconvenient to find someone without a phone at this time. I can only wait here stupidly, Gu Yun complained to herself.

Fortunately, the gate of the compound was opened from the inside before long. The man who came out didn't know if he hadn't woken up yet or what, his hair, which was usually well-groomed, was now messy and piled on his head, and a small tuft of hair was naughty and curled up.

Gu Yun saw this man and called him happily, "Cao Zhiqing!"

Cao Kaijin heard someone calling his name, so he looked in the direction of the voice. Unexpectedly, this glance was like being struck by lightning, and he turned around quickly. He rubbed his face with his hands, smoothed his hair, and then restored his usual calm expression, and turned around again to face Gu Yun.

Gu Yun saw Cao Kaijin turn around immediately when he saw her, and thought something was wrong with him. Just as she was about to ask, she saw him turn back again. She thought to herself, why is this man so weird.

Cao Kaijin didn't give Gu Yun a chance to continue complaining, and asked, "Why are you here so early in the morning? What do you want to see me for?"

Speaking of her purpose this time, Gu Yun didn't think about whether he was strange or not, and directly said, "Cao Zhiqing, do you still need rice?"

Cao Kaijin smiled when he heard what Gu Yun said, and it was still that familiar half-smile. He just glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Are you short of money again?"

Gu Yun was not embarrassed when he exposed her. Originally, she exchanged food with him just to exchange some money and bills. She immediately looked at him and smiled twice, "It's almost the New Year, it's good to have money in hand. So I want to exchange some money and bills with you, Cao Zhiqing."

Cao Kaijin saw Gu Yun's eyes curved into crescents, and somehow wanted to tease her. He nodded immediately, and said with a long voice, "Is that so... But we all have to go home for the New Year, so I'm afraid we can't eat much."

Gu Yun felt disappointed, thinking that he couldn't sell it here, so he had to find another channel. Just when Gu Yun was thinking about whether to go to the black market and take a risk, he heard Cao Kaijin's lazy voice saying, "But... our family needs it for the New Year. It just so happens that I plan to buy some food and send it back these two days."

Later, when he heard him say that he wanted to buy some and send it back home, he was shocked and his eyes lit up. At home, there are many people at home, so naturally more food is needed.

Cao Kaijin couldn't help but laugh at her money-obsessed look. Asked Gu Yun, "How much rice do you have?"

Gu Yun's big, bright eyes blinked and threw the question to him, "How much do you want?"

Cao Kaijin was amused, looking at her with a half-smile, and said, "How much rice do you have at home? Why do you always give me as much as I want?"

Gu Yun felt a little guilty when he looked at her like this, and laughed, squinted at him and said, "Do you know what my third uncle did before? You understand, right?"
