Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s
Chapter 222 Huo Yuhao, Chasing into the City to Look for Someone

Luo Qiao pointed at the large basket behind her and whispered, "I’ll take you near your home. That way, you’ll be safe, and it’ll be easier to transfer the goods into your house."

The boy said, "Sister, my name is Huo Yuhao."

Luo Qiao was startled, then she smiled faintly and said, "In the future, when you go to the Black Market, you must never tell strangers your name; it’s very dangerous."

Huo Yuhao glanced at Luo Qiao, "I told you because you’re a good person."

As they walked, Luo Qiao said, "Bad people won’t have ’I am a bad person’ written on their faces. You can’t judge by appearances. It would be better if you come less often to the Black Market, or not at all. You’re still too young."

Calling others young, yet she herself wasn’t much older, only taller, ha-ha!

The two stopped walking once they reached a residential area for workers. Huo Yuhao said, "Sister, my home is just ahead."

Luo Qiao looked around and whispered, "I’ll give you twenty pounds of flour first. Take it home and then come back. Any more and you won’t be able to carry it, and it might draw attention."

Huo Yuhao nodded his head. The two found a secluded place. Luo Qiao pulled out twenty pounds of flour from her basket, took two books from Huo Yuhao, and said, "No need to switch bags, just give me your bag," but then they both froze.

Their bags were identical. Luo Qiao suddenly thought of something. What kind of fate was this? Huo Yuhao glanced at Luo Qiao, his heart filled with excitement, but being smart, he said nothing.

He picked up the twenty pounds of flour and left. Luo Qiao thought that the only time she had traded food in the Black Market was with an old lady, and clearly, the bag was the one she had provided that day.

She hadn’t expected to encounter that lady’s relative in the Black Market today. This connection was indeed profound.

Luo Qiao didn’t wait too long before Huo Yuhao ran back to her, handed over the three books together, and passed her a sack. Luo Qiao said, "Hand me the other one you’re holding, too."

After she finished speaking, she directly pulled two sacks from her basket and said, "Head back quickly, remember to hide the food well when you get home."

Luo Qiao put the reclaimed cloth bag into her basket, preparing to turn around and leave, when she saw Huo Yuhao bowing to her, saying, "Thank you."

After finishing, he picked up the two bags from the ground and departed. He could feel that this bag contained more than what had been mentioned before, and tears welled up uncontrollably.

Ever since his father’s accident, their relatives shunned them like snakes and scorpions, his uncle and aunt even occasionally came to plunder. Although the neighbors sympathized, they too had their struggles and could only help so much.

This sister was the same one his grandmother had mentioned several days ago. He had not expected to run into her today. Although he didn’t know who the sister was, Huo Yuhao would remember this kindness.

In Ji City, at the entrance of the steel mill, Zhang Dezheng and his eldest son, Zhang Dongze, were asking the security room about Luo Tianming, but Zhang Dezheng couldn’t specify which workshop Luo Tianming was in, so they could only wait at the entrance.

Luo Tianming was someone he had met before. The last time he went back to pick up Zhao Guibao (Luo Bin), he had intervened to mediate, so he’d definitely recognize him if he saw him. He and his son hadn’t caught the work shuttle and had come by bike, leaving them tired and hungry now, close to noon.

They finally saw the workers leaving at the end of their shift and stationed themselves at the mill’s exit, not daring to blink in case they missed Luo Tianming.

Zhang Dezheng finally spotted Luo Tianming in the crowd and hurried over to grab him.

Luo Tianming, who had been in a foul mood recently because of his son’s situation, looked up at the person grabbing him, momentarily taken aback.

Zhang Dezheng asked, "Gui Bao’s father, do you remember me?"

The mention of the name Gui Bao made Luo Tianming frown, then he thought for a moment and said, "Are you the Branch Secretary Zhang from Qingshan Village?"

Zhang Dezheng hurriedly said, "Yes, that’s me, that’s me. Brother Luo, you have a great memory."

The two moved to a clear spot to talk. Luo Tianming asked, "Did you come to find me, Branch Secretary Zhang?"

Zhang Dezheng said, "Yes, it’s mainly to find Luo Qiao. I have no idea where your family lives, so I came to the steel mill instead."
