“No. 06, please come to the counter.”

After Yu Bing looked at the number plate, she turned around and said goodbye to the woman. Then, she sat at the counter as she took out all the money.

The post office wasn’t far from the bank. After Yu Bing arrived, she began to queue again. Fortunately, the money was successfully transferred at 4:30. Then, she immediately called Zeng Li to collect the money.

Yu Bing wasn’t in a hurry to leave. She waited at the side for Zeng Li to reply before returning to the village.

!!

When Yu Bing returned to the factory and was about to get off work at seven, she received a call from Zeng Li, who asked them to bring Xiao Li to S City as soon as possible tomorrow.

As soon as she hung up, Xiao Sheng ran into Yu Bing’s office and asked Yu Bing in a daze, “It’s Xiao Li’s turn for the surgery?”

Yu Bing nodded with a smile. Then, she stood up and walked forward to share the good news. “I just finished talking to Zeng Li on the phone. He said that the spot has been confirmed. Xiao Li has to go over as soon as possible. This time, we can have a festive New Year. Looks like…”

Before Yu Bing could finish speaking, she was hugged by Xiao Sheng. As she buried her face in Xiao Sheng’s chest, she heard Xiao Sheng say in a low voice, “Yu Bing, thank you! If it weren’t for you, I would have missed the chance this time.”

After Xiao Sheng returned to the village, he met Wu Jin and found out that Yu Bing had gathered money for Xiao Li’s surgery fees.

Yu Bing leaned back and said gently, “You should thank yourself. If not for your business channel and your dividends, I might not have been able to gather so much money.”

After Xiao Sheng let go, he smiled at Yu Bing and rubbed the top of her head. “I won’t say any pleasantries. I’ll bring you a gift when I come back. The factory is so busy now, so don’t waste your time with me.”

Yu Bing wanted to go with him, but at this time, she still had to participate in the food factory’s dividend accounting. She could only reply helplessly, “There might be a recovery period after the surgery. I wonder if you guys can come back before the new year.”

Xiao Sheng had asked about this the last time he went, so he replied, “I don’t think we’ll be back so soon. She’ll have to be observed for at least a month.”

The three of them, Xiao Sheng and his siblings, would have to spend the New Year in S City.

Before they even separated, Yu Bing began to feel reluctant. “Then bring some sausages. It’s not like in the village. You’re unfamiliar with the place, so it won’t be easy to buy things.”

Xiao Sheng had always felt that Yu Bing only felt gratitude towards him. She might like him a little, but not that much.

Seeing the reluctance in Yu Bing’s eyes, other than feeling a little touched, Xiao Sheng also felt a little more confident in their relationship. “Alright, don’t worry. I’ll prepare these.”

Yu Bing reminded him a few more times. She knew that Xiao Sheng had been outside for so many years and his abilities were not inferior to hers, but she couldn’t help but remind him.

Perhaps it was because the two of them had been having tutoring lessons every night recently, or because the new year was approaching, the merrier the reunion was supposed to be, the lonelier she felt. Yu Bing felt that she had been thinking about Xiao Sheng much more recently than before.

Xiao Sheng had to look for Wu Jin to get a permission slip, so the two of them chatted for a while before parting ways.

After Yu Bing ate, she began to prepare things at home.

She steamed all the 30 eggs that she had stocked up at home and made 20 scallion pancakes for Xiao Sheng and the others to eat on the way. Then, she took two bottles of beef chili sauce from the kitchen cabinet.

Because it was their own food, the filling was full of meat. The supply of meat in the big city was very tightly regulated, so it was better to be more prepared.

Just as she was covering the food with newspapers, Yu Bing saw Xiao Sheng enter the door. She smiled and said, “I was about to send you food. I didn’t expect you to come first.”

Xiao Sheng placed the money wrapped in newspaper on the table. When he heard this, he said happily, “It means that we have telepathy. I’ve already returned Uncle Jin’s money. This is yours.”

Yu Bing glanced at it and said, “Leave it there.”

Then, Yu Bing placed the things she had prepared into the cloth bag and handed them to Xiao Sheng. “There should be enough to last you guys the entire trip. Have you settled everything?”

After Xiao Sheng took them, he looked at Yu Bing as he replied, “I’ve already given instructions for the black market and the transport team. I also went to the station to buy a ticket to City H at nine o’clock tomorrow. I’ll call you when I get to S City.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Bing said, “Then you have to wake up at six tomorrow. I’ll drive you there.”

How could Xiao Sheng bear to let Yu Bing wake up so early? He hurriedly refused. “You still have to go to the factory, so don’t delay your work. I’ve already called Wu Qing. It’s farming break now, so he’s very idle.”
