Visiting Home

Su Hanyan woke up early the next day because she had to go home. On her day off, she changed into her own set of clothes.

After washing her face, she looked at herself in the mirror. She was actually quite satisfied with her appearance. Her thick brows were paired with dark tantalizing eyes, which sparkled like stars. The only thing lamentable was her skin, which was not as glowing as peach blossoms. As for her figure, she was slender and tall. Her curves were all in the right places, too.

The original owner was a real beauty!

It was just that… she had been tortured by life to the point where she had lost all her brilliance and edge. The original novel described her character as dull with dead eyes, as if she had no thoughts of hers.

Su Hanyan’s arrival added soul into this beautiful vessel. She was not ashamed to say that the more she looked at herself, the more satisfied she felt. Her only regret was truly her skin.

Thinking about it, the money earned by the original owner was all given to her family. How would she even have the money to buy herself skincare products?

All her clothes had been worn for a few years and were long out of style, their colors having faded already from repeated washing.

Su Hanyan sighed softly. The original owner really had had a miserable short life!

Zhu Lin woke up to the sight of Su Hanyan looking at herself in the mirror with a pitying glint in the latter’s eyes. She could not help but laugh. “You’re beautiful enough. Has your beauty dazzled even you?”

“Of course not.” Su Hanyan smiled as she turned around and sat on her bed. “Let’s discuss something. Lend me some money, and I’ll return it to you after I get my salary this month.”

“Sure!” Zhu Lin generously agreed. “How much do you need? Ten, twenty, or what?”

“Twenty.” Su Hanyan decisively chose the larger amount.

“Do you want tickets, too?”

“Yes. Food, meat, tea, and tickets… Give me those few.”

In this era, the cost of living was not high. It was still a planned economy, so transactions and purchases were still done with tickets. Living in the city required tickets if one wanted to purchase food, meat, bicycles, and so on.

Since Su Hanyan wanted to visit her father at home, she naturally could not go empty-handed.

If she wanted to buy something, she definitely needed money and, more importantly, tickets. If one had money but no tickets, no one would sell them anything.

After borrowing money and tickets from Zhu Lin, Su Hanyan carried her bag and boarded a bus. When she arrived at Yangjiao Alley, she got off the bus and bought five catties of apples, one catty of tea leaves, three catties of pork ribs, and a packet of crispy fried dough twists. Next, she went to a grocery store and bought herself a box of moisturizing cream.

She then carried the goods back home.

The moment she entered the courtyard, she bumped into some neighbors. The sun was shining brightly today, and the neighbors were all taking out their blankets to air in the courtyard early in the morning.

She greeted them warmly.

“Auntie Lin, airing your blankets?”

“Uncle Zhang, it’s so rare for you to have a rest day, but even then, you don’t idle around, huh!”

“…”

In the past, the neighbors believed that Su Hanyan had a dull personality and was always in a daze with an ever unsmiling face. Now that she was back from living in the factory dormitory, she seemed to have become a completely different person as she greeted everyone warmly.

Who did not like a person who knew how to smile at and greet them?

The young lady was not ugly to begin with. Adding a smile to that, it made people feel warm.

“Yanyan, you’re back!”

“Wow! You bought so many things!”

“…”

Su Hanyan pursed her lips and smiled. “I’m here to visit my dad. He suffered a lot during the surgery. As his daughter, my heart aches for him, so I decided to visit him at home on my day off!”
