Yu Bing placed the milk powder on the table. “You suddenly ran out of milk, so I bought some milk powder for Xiao Yu. He’s still young, so he definitely can’t keep drinking rice paste.”

Wen Qin was worldly, so when she saw the foreign language on the packaging, she hurriedly stuffed the milk powder back into the bag. “Why did you buy this?! It’s so expensive! Take it back and return it.”

Yu Bing took out the milk powder again. “Now is not the time to be polite. It’s not enough for him to just eat rice paste when he’s less than half a year old. What if it slows his growth? Xiao Yu’s condition wasn’t good when he was born. He was born weak and has to recuperate before he can recover. Look, he only ate rice paste for a few days, but his face is as thin as a monkey’s. Even if you don’t feel sorry for him, I do.”

Wen Qin looked in the direction of the bamboo cradle and thought of the look on her youngest son’s face. In the end, she gave up on maintaining her pride. “Yu Bing, if you encounter anything in the future, just ask. I’ll do my best to help you.”

Yu Bing didn’t refuse. In the beginning, she had helped Wen Qin because she had yet to return the favor she owed Sun Yu. However, now, she genuinely liked Wen Qin. She wasn’t a saint who was willing to do good deeds without asking for anything in return. Friendship depended on reciprocity. If it was one-sided, the friendship definitely wouldn’t last long.

Yu Bing and Jiang Chun stayed for a while before leaving. The two of them rode Xiao Sheng’s bicycle to town first before heading to the county city to watch a movie. In order to ensure that the orders were completed on time, there would be no more breaks for the next 14 days.

On the other side, Yu Yan woke up at eleven o’clock. After washing up, she tied her hair into two ponytails with a red headband and matched it with a red cashmere scarf. This made her look rosier and lessened the sickly look on her face.

She chose a relatively good one from the two cotton clothes and put it on. Then, she put on her leather shoes despite the heavy snow. Then, she placed the letter into her green backpack and sent it to the county city to be mailed.

When Yu Yan met Yao Nian in the hall on the first floor, she greeted him and turned to leave.

When Yao Nian saw that Yu Yan was clearly dressed to enter the city, he hurriedly stopped her. “Yu Yan, you’re going to the city?”

Yu Yan glanced at Yao Nian and replied, “I’m going to the county city to send a letter.”

Hearing Yu Yan was going to send a letter, Yao Nian asked expectantly, “A letter?”

Yu Yan didn’t notice Yao Nian’s abnormality and replied aloofly, “Yes, if there’s nothing else, I’ll leave first. I still have to transfer buses later.”

Yao Nian wanted to inquire about the contents of Yu Yan’s letter and see if there was a chance to persuade Yu Yan to return to the city. However, when he saw her anxious expression and thought of the 16.8 yuan in his pocket, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be indifferent as he said, “Today is New Year’s Day. I was about to look for you to go to the county city to watch a movie. I didn’t expect you to plan to go to town as well. What a coincidence!”

Yu Yan looked at Yao Nian suspiciously. “This is too sudden.”

Yao Nian found an excuse and explained, “I’ve thought about it before. I wanted to give you a surprise, so I deliberately waited until now to say it.”

Yu Yan thought about how she was still preparing to eat a feast later. It wasn’t worth it for Yao Nian to freeload a meal with just a movie stamp, so she was a little unwilling to bring Yao Nian along.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Moreover, Yu Yan realized that Yao Nian was too poor. When she was in trouble previously, Yao Nian couldn’t help at all.

Therefore, Yu Yan had a bad impression of Yao Nian now. In the past, she would think of him if she had any delicious food to share.

Yu Yan didn’t relent and found an excuse to refuse. “I’m a little tired, so I won’t go play. I’m just going to the county city to send a letter. I’ll be back soon.”

Yao Nian didn’t expect that there would be a time when he would be rejected. However, he didn’t believe this excuse. She could just send the letter in town and she didn’t need to go to the county. She was clearly prepared to go stroll around.

While he was in a daze, Yu Yan had already turned around and left. Seeing that Yu Yan was so cold to him, Yao Nian panicked.

Ever since everyone found out that Yu Yan had borrowed money, although Yao Nian still maintained a certain distance from Yu Yan in order to get a spot to return to the city, he had never helped her, especially when it came to food.

At that time, Yu Yan didn’t ask Yao Nian for money to buy rations, and Yao Nian didn’t even mention it. He pretended not to know that his girlfriend could barely fill her stomach with sweet potatoes every day.

From that moment on, Yu Yan rarely took the initiative to look for Yao Nian.
