    Male protagonist, you need someone 58

    “Where? Show me your letter of introduction.” The conductor looked at Zhou Min and others strangely, and then said.

    “Huixian.” Zhou Min took out the letter of introduction and handed it to the conductor. She was not very comfortable with the curious look of the conductor. Fortunately, the conductor just took one look and then moved his hands neatly.

    Snap!Issue a ticket!

    Picking up the tickets, Zhou Min, Hu Xinlan and others stepped into the waiting room.

    There were not many people waiting for the bus, but those people were cleanly dressed but also showed some ingenuity. They were obviously people from the five red categories. Among them, only working-class families had enough money to afford a car. For the other four categories, soldiers and revolutionary cadres had their units send cars. As for the majority of the poor peasants and middle- and lower-middle peasants, they would rather walk than take a car.

    Although it takes a long time to walk each time, the money saved on a bus ticket can buy a lot of things.

    In places with better conditions, poor peasants and lower-middle peasants can still ride on the tractors of the brigade or the carriages of the production team. After such a comparison, Zhou Min finally understood why the conductor looked at them strangely when buying tickets.

    Although they looked like poor peasants, they bought five bus tickets without blinking an eye. At this time, when they entered, they became a unique scenery.

    After all, wearing a large floral cloth and carrying a basket on his back, Hu Xinlan had one in his arms and another in his backpack. Even if Zhou Min did not look like a poor peasant in appearance and temperament, it would be difficult to follow Hu Xinlan and Han Jiuyou and Fanshu, who were now shriveled, sallow and skinny.

    Zhou Min pulled Han Jiuyou and saw that Hu Xinlan was flustered by everyone’s gaze and didn’t know where to place her hands and feet. Zhou Min seemed much calmer and said, “Sister, let’s sit here.”

    There was a middle-aged woman in her forties with good looks sitting in the corner of the place Zhou Min pointed to. She lowered her head and didn’t know what she was thinking. She stayed quietly in the corner and didn’t communicate with anyone.

    “Okay, okay.” Hu Xinlan finally calmed down when she heard Zhou Min’s voice. She looked at her and followed her to the bench in the corner.

    Hu Xinlan first placed Taozi in her arms on the bench. Taozi’s restless twisting made Zhou Min subconsciously turn sideways to grab her small body. When Hu Xinlan saw that Taozi was being taken care of by Zhou Min, Hu Xinlan half-crouched and put the basket on the ground. After taking out the sweet potatoes from the basket, she turned around and was about to sit on the bench beside her.

    The woman sitting near the corner suddenly raised her head when Hu Xinlan sat down, looked straight at Hu Xinlan, and blurted out fiercely, “Get out of here! No one is sitting here.”

    The hoarse voice of an old woman in her sixties or seventies made Hu Xinlan tremble all over. She immediately stood up in embarrassment, blushed and bent down to apologize, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t know someone was already sitting here.”

    Hu Xinlan’s panicked voice made Zhou Min, who was fighting with Taozi, turn his head when he heard the words, just in time to see Hu Xinlan standing awkwardly next to the woman, but the woman just glanced at her, said nothing, and lowered her head again.

    Hu Xinlan stood there uneasily. The small waiting room was deserted because of the small number of people, so even the slightest movement would attract everyone’s attention, let alone a woman’s loud rebuke.

    Hu Xinlan was noticed by everyone, pointing and pointing, not knowing what she was talking about. This bench can seat ten people, and including this woman, it is not enough for six people. Moreover, when Zhou Min chose the position, he deliberately left two seats between them and the woman to avoid such a situation.

    But at this moment… Zhou Min grabbed the restless Tao Zi with one hand and looked at Hu Xinlan. At this time, Hu Xinlan blushed and stood there in a panic, not knowing what to do.

    “Sister, come and sit. There’s still room here.” Zhou Min’s eyes drifted past the woman, and he frowned at the small jar wrapped in red cloth on the empty seat next to her. After a slight pause, he called out to Hu Xinlan.

    “Ah? Oh, okay.” Hu Xinlan lowered her head and walked quickly to Zhou Min. Zhou Min originally wanted Hu Xinlan to sit next to her, but when her eyes turned to Han Jiuyou and prepared to let him sit at the outermost seat near the aisle, she met his innocent but smiling eyes looking at her, and the words were stuck in her throat.

    Why are you feeling guilty for no reason?!

    Looking at Han Jiuyou’s gaze, Zhou Min pursed her lips, and the next best thing was to pick up Taozi, let Hu Xinlan sit in Taozi’s position, and sit down with Taozi in her arms. Hu Xinlan’s face was still red after sitting down, her hands were confused and she twisted the corners of her clothes, her ears were burning, and she whispered, “I’m sorry, fifth sister.”

    As soon as she sat down with Taozi in her arms, Han Jiuyou, who was beside her, immediately took Taozi’s hands out of her arms and without hesitation threw them into the arms of Sweet Potato, who was playing quietly beside her, “Hold her.”

    Fanshu stared blankly at the little junior sister who was suddenly thrust into his arms, blinking her big eyes. Taozi also opened her bulging eyes and grabbed two tufts of Fanshu’s hair and looked at him. The scene was inexplicably funny.

    When Zhou Min heard Hu Xinlan’s inexplicable apology, she wanted to comfort her, but she was slightly shocked and speechless because of Han Jiuyou’s sudden behavior.

    Looking down at the empty arms, he immediately leaned forward and looked past Han Jiuyou and tilted his head to look at Fanshu and Taozi. Afterwards, Taozi, who was crying, was suddenly stuffed into Fanshu’s arms. He was not afraid at all. Instead, he skillfully pulled Fanshu’s hair and laughed excitedly.

    Zhou Min smiled when he saw this, then looked at Han Jiuyou angrily, and said with a helpless smile, “Fanshu is still young, don’t bully him.”

    “Not young anymore. When I was his age, I had already left that place and lived alone for two years.” Han Jiuyou said it very casually, but Zhou Min was slightly stunned when he heard it. She sighed and pinched his face that had not yet grown flesh, “Didn’t you give yourself the surname of last week? This means that you have become the same as before.The person who wanders alone is no longer a person in the world, so you have to learn to say goodbye to your past life, you know?Don’t think about things that make you unhappy in the future. You are not allowed to frown, and you are not allowed to show this expression.I don’t like it! With such a beautiful face, a smile is more suitable for you.”

    Han Jiuyou was slightly stunned and turned to look at Zhou Min, “What’s my expression?”

    Zhou Min reached out to cover his eyes. The temporary darkness made Han Jiuyou’s other senses immediately sharpen, especially the close proximity. The vague and unique smell of Zhou Min kept stirring his heartbeat.

    Stiffening his body, Han Jiuyou clenched his fists. Zhou Min, who didn’t notice Han Jiuyou’s strangeness, continued to talk to himself, “Your eyes are too cold, too cold and thin, and most importantly, too sad. They don’t suit you and don’t look like a ten-year-old child.”

    “Then what is suitable for me?” Every word and sentence of Zhou Min hit his heart like pebbles, especially her slightly distressed tone, which had a strange feeling, not amazing but a little tingling.
