In this way, Gu Yunyao and two of his subordinates took a long-distance bus ride for a day, and when they arrived in Tengchong, they were dumbfounded.

Because the jade sale was held, all guest houses were full.

What's more, they arrived too late, spent three thousand and sixty-six dollars in good words, and paid high prices but no one paid any attention to them.

Gu Yunyao could only say to his two men: "Shall we go find a bed and breakfast?"

Both of them were soldiers who had switched jobs this year, and were assigned by their leaders to work in pharmaceutical factories.

They asked in confusion: "Director, did you say you would visit nearby houses?"

Only then did Gu Yunyao realize that she casually mentioned the customary names of later generations, nodded slightly and said, "Yes, what else should I do?"

They usually respect Gu Yunyao very much, and they can deal with her at night. The factory director, a lesbian, cannot stay on the street all night.

The two of them followed the factory director to the family area.

Gu Yunyao walked to the half-open door of the house and stood on her feet, asking flatteringly to the five or six-year-old girl playing in the yard, "Little sister, where are the adults in your family?"

The two little girls were so frightened that they ran into the yard, "Grandma, someone is coming to the house..."

Soon, a kind-faced old lady in her sixties came out of the house. She looked over in the dim light and found that she obviously didn't recognize the few people there.

She asked doubtfully: "Who are you?"

Gu Yunyao smiled and said: "Old man, we are herbal medicine dealers from Spring City. Only now did we know that tomorrow's Jade Sale and the guest house are all full. Can we spend the night at your house? Well, we won't stay in vain, let's give it to you

How about fifteen yuan for accommodation?"

Fifteen yuan is a lot for three people to stay in.

The guest house only cost two or three yuan. Gu Yunyao didn't need this little money, so she raised the price.

The old lady looked at them and saw that they didn't look like bad people, then she said, "Wait a minute, I'll ask the old man."

Soon, a serious-looking old man came out of the house.

He looked at them with wary eyes and asked them carefully before letting them in.

Gu Yunyao walked into the courtyard and found three main rooms and two side rooms.

The old man said to them: "You can live in the West House, these two people..."

The two veterans said hurriedly: "Old man, we are all demobilized soldiers, we can just deal with it wherever we can for a night."

The old man nodded and said, "Then you can live in the wing room. There is a bed and quilt inside."

Gu Yunyao and the others thanked them profusely. They put their things down and realized that they were hungry after a long day on the bus.

"Old man, where can I buy food?"

The old man frowned and said, "It's closed at this time. If you don't mind, let my wife cook you a bowl of noodles."

Gu Yunyao said gratefully: "Thank you so much!"

She took out twenty yuan and a lot of apples from her pocket and said, "Old man, keep this money. These apples are a little bit of our appreciation."

After they found a place to live and the landlord cooked them food, of course she wanted to express her gratitude.

The old man's tense face softened and he said, "You're welcome. I'll pour you some hot water. By the way, there's a faucet over there. You can wash up."

As the saying goes: If someone respects me a foot, I should respect another person a foot. If you say a few kind words and do something good to the other person, not only will you have washing water, but also boiling water.

Gu Yunyao was very satisfied.

After a while, the old lady cooked the noodles and filled half a basin.

The three of them shared the food and were full quickly.

Gu Yunyao washed the dishes and chopsticks and sat down to chat with the old lady.

I learned that the old couple's son and daughter-in-law don't live here, and their two granddaughters are here to accompany them.
