The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

However, after turning over a dozen pages in a row, a smile appeared on Zhu Xiaomin's lips unconsciously. She looked up at Luo Tingyuan, closed the book and listened intently to the lecture.

The notebook is written in beautiful regular script, written by more than thirty educated youths, and has more than thirty pages of paper. Not only are the handwriting the same, but also the depth of the ink is the same.

These things should have been written by him in one sitting from yesterday to today.

In the past two months, he had never used these notebooks. He only wrote on the blackboard and then erased it himself, obviously afraid of leaving any traces.

And now, the cautious man finally took this step towards them.

It's trust.

Today, he finally believed that they had no ill intentions towards him, and that they would protect him and his son.

On the second day of the festival, the meal at the brigade headquarters consisted of one rice dumpling per person, two mugwort dumplings, and mugwort porridge mixed with chopped eggs.

Lu Mingzheng peeled off the rice dumplings and saw the golden meat inside. He couldn't help but look up at Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin saw this in her eyes, pursed her lips and smiled: "The yellow rice tastes like yellow rice. If you don't like eating it, why don't you go back to the educated youth spot to eat it later?"

Lu Mingzheng shook his head: "That's not necessary." After taking a bite of the rice dumpling, he couldn't help but ask the question in his heart, "How do you know that I prefer glutinous rice?"

Zhu Xiaomin blinked and made it up smoothly: "You said it yourself."

When did he say that?

Lu Mingzheng was suspicious.

It is true that between the two kinds of rice dumplings, he prefers glutinous rice, but he is not picky about food when he is often not full. How could he say that he prefers glutinous rice rice dumplings?

Zhu Xiaomin's face didn't change color, and her heart didn't beat. She continued: "One year ago, we had glutinous rice dumplings. You said which one was more delicious."

Have it?

Lu Mingzheng was stunned for a moment. He couldn't remember whether he had eaten glutinous rice dumplings in the past years, but his mood suddenly lifted.

It turns out that she had memorized his casual words a long time ago, right?

Not understanding why the man suddenly had stars in his eyes, Zhu Xiaomin glanced at him, her eyes were instantly burned, and she hurriedly lowered her head and ate in silence.

In the evening, everyone decided to take a day off from class and took out the prepared realgar wine, a few seasonal vegetables, peanuts, dried tofu, etc., and carefully prepared side dishes to go with the wine.

Song Zhian slaughtered two rabbits, added potatoes and other side dishes, and stewed it in a pot.

Miao Shiwen also took out all the eggs he had saved, boiled them into tea eggs, gave each person one egg, and quietly stuffed one more into Luo Ye's hands. Everyone pretended not to see it.

In the courtyard of the educated youth spot, the aroma of the food, accompanied by everyone's hearty chatter and laughter, overflowed into the night.

Luo Tingyuan sat between Xie Chengzhi and Lu Mingzheng. After two glasses of wine, he unknowingly talked a little more. He talked about what he had seen and heard many years ago. It turns out that some of the distance between him and the educated youth was quietly shortening. No one noticed that it was natural as it should be.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Lu Mingzheng also packed up and returned to the city. The next day was the 25th, and eggs were given out every fifth day.

Zhu Xiaomin got up early in the morning, went up the mountain to pick a dozen ripe peaches, and wrote a letter of introduction from the team. After the eggs were loaded into the truck, she rushed to the county with Lu Mingzheng and Chen Xudong.

More than two thousand eggs and straw filled six large baskets.

In order to prevent the basket from being knocked over by the shaking on the road, the eggs were placed inside, and a few sacks filled with chaff were used to lean on the outside. The three of them sat on the sacks and talked about how to get on the road.

Although the weather was already very hot at the end of June, the three of them set out before the sun rose. The morning wind blew over and felt very comfortable on their bodies.

Chen Xudong and Zhu Xiaomin talked about the future plans of the base and orchard: "This year, the area planted with fruit trees has been reduced to 10%. The largest part is still in our brigade. There were more peach trees last year, more apples this year, and there are quite a few more." Hawthorn. Forget about other fruits, this hawthorn is probably the hardest to sell."

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "I remember that Xiaomin made hawthorn sauce last year, and I still have a good idea."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "In addition to selling fresh hawthorns, they can also be dried and made into sauce. We will study the specific operations later."

Chen Xudong thought for a while, nodded, and added: "There is also a breeding base. The sheep are okay. Last year, many of them were roosters. Miao Zhiqing and I were thinking about buying new chicks soon. Should those roosters also be sent for supply and sale? society?"

Zhu Xiaomin pursed her lips, licked them, and nodded: "There are only a few dozen of them. This is not urgent. Expanding the base is more important."

Lu Mingzheng looked back at her, his eyes full of smiles.

She is not in a hurry. From the looks of it, this girl has no intention of selling the chicken. She is probably planning to eat it.

The three people talked about it and found out that the tractor had entered the county town and drove all the way to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Yan Yimin was waiting when he heard someone shouting from outside. He quickly came out of the office and saw a few people getting off the car. He immediately shouted in surprise: "Zhu Zhiqing, Lu Zhiqing, you are rare guests."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Secretary Yan is joking, what kind of guests are we?" He looked around and asked, "Secretary, do you know where there is water?"

Yan Yimin didn't know what she was going to do, so he pointed to the wall and said, "There is a well there."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at him, and when she saw a staff member coming over, she said, "Excuse me, please lend me a basin for food."

When the staff saw her coming with Chen Xudong, they didn't ask any questions. They immediately went back and brought out a basin for her.

Zhu Xiaomin took it and smiled at Yan Yimin: "Secretary, wait a minute." Chen Xudong and the staff were left to count the eggs, and Lu Mingzheng was dragged to the well.

Yan Yimin looked strange and didn't wait. He came over to take a look. When Lu Mingzheng pulled out the water, she took out the peaches and washed them. Her eyes lit up: "Are your peaches ripe?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded immediately: "Yes, I picked these from the mountains early in the morning. I washed them and let everyone have a taste." As he said this, he washed the peaches quickly and then followed him into the office.

Yan Yimin saw that the washed peaches had a green-yellow background and extremely bright red tops. They looked very attractive at first glance, and he immediately asked: "I wonder how many there are?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "There are just some ripe ones now, not many yet, and we haven't started picking them yet. I want to know, should the more fruits sent to the supply and marketing cooperative be, the better, or should they be rationed on a regular basis?"

Yan Yimin pondered for a while and said: "I'm not sure about this yet. It's just that fruits are not as fresh as eggs. They won't be fresh enough if they are kept for one more day. So... can you deliver them every day?"

Zhu Xiaomin and Lu Mingzheng looked at each other and then said: "Secretary Yan, if we deliver it every day, it depends on how much it is. A few dozen or a hundred kilograms is not enough for us to eat, and it is not worth a special trip."

Yan Yimin nodded: "Our first step is definitely to send it to the farmer's market. Or, you can send three hundred kilograms to try first. If it sells, we will add more."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "What's the price?"
