Chapter 41 New Life

The tube building of the County Public Security Bureau is located near the non-staple food store. At the beginning of each month, the residents in the tube building will take their food books and wait in line near the non-staple food store to wait for this month's rations.

"Teacher Xiao Jiang, Teacher Xiao Jiang, hurry up and take your food books. I'll let my third child go to the line first to reserve a place for you!"

"Hey, Sister Li is here." The words of promise came from the end of the corridor on the third floor. After a while, a girl with simple clothes but beautiful looks ran out of the door, carrying a large basket in her hand, which contained food books and bags.

This person is Jiang Youyou who moved from Zhuxi Village.

When Li saw Jiang Youyou coming out, she smiled, "Are you still marking homework in the house? I saw ink on your hand."

Jiang Youyou looked at her right hand and saw traces of ink on it. She smiled and said, "It's not much. I thought I'd finish marking it as soon as possible so that I can distribute it to the students."

"You are serious and responsible. No wonder my child likes you so much."

Jiang Youyou is a substitute teacher in the county primary school and happened to teach Li's son.

She smiled and praised Li's son a few words. The two chatted and laughed all the way and soon arrived at the food store.

At this time, the queue had become a long dragon. It was obvious that the residents in the county were very sensitive to news. They got the news and lined up before all the food was pulled over.

However, the Public Security Bureau's tube building has an advantage, and the children of Li's family are in the front of the line. Seeing them coming over, they waved their hands, and Li and Jiang Youyou went forward.

This phenomenon is common, of course, not only them, but other families will also send people to reserve seats in advance. As long as you arrive before your turn, no one will say anything, after all, everyone does this.

Probably because it is the end of the year, the supply this month is more abundant, and many foods that are not available on weekdays are also put up. Jiang Youyou also saw fresh apples and oranges, thinking that she must buy some when it is her turn later-if the people in front of her don't grab them all.

Fortunately, there was a limited supply today, and she was in the front of the queue, so there were still some left when it was her turn, so Jiang Youyou bought all she could without hesitation.

Then she bought other things she liked as well.

After buying them, she thought she would borrow Li's wheelbarrow to transport them away after she ran out of things, but the one she had in her hand was gone first. She frowned and turned around subconsciously, thinking she had seen a thief, but she saw a face with a scar but still handsome.

"Why did you come back early?" Jiang Youyou said with joy, and her beautiful eyes were shining.

Geng Shu's coldness seemed to disappear, "Come back as soon as you're done."

Then he frowned again, "Didn't I tell you to wait for me to come back before buying these? How can you carry them by yourself?"

"It's not heavy. I can borrow a wheelbarrow from Sister Li's family."

Geng Shu had no choice but to let her go home first. It was snowing outside, and her face was red from the cold.

Jiang Youyou didn't want to help, and helped to pack things together. While waiting for Sister Li to come back, she asked Geng Shu about this trip.

"Is it dangerous? Are you injured anywhere?"

A few months ago, Geng Shu was transferred from Zhuxi Village to work at the county public security bureau. Due to his outstanding professional ability, he was often seconded to handle other matters. This time, he went directly to the province to help solve a case.

Jiang Youyou was a little worried about him. She looked him up and down, afraid that he was injured.

"It's a small case, it's okay." Geng Shu didn't say much, but he was concerned about her life these days.

Jiang Youyou smiled, "I'm just a substitute teacher, and I'm not running around like you, so there's no danger."

Geng Shu agreed on the surface, but there was always a trace of worry in his heart, because Jiang Xiuting's whereabouts are still unknown.
