After eating for a while to satisfy our cravings, everyone's conversation gradually left the food and started talking about this year's harvest.

For those who are educated youth, whether it is the base or the orchard, it is naturally full of rewards, and even Lu Mingzheng also handed in a perfect answer for this job.

Xie Chengzhi regretted: "Why won't the subsequent pilot projects be handed over to you? You have stayed here for six years and know the place and people here better. You are the most suitable."

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "I may adjust my work later. Even if the pilot is left to me, I may not be able to follow up."

"Promotion?" Several educated youths were surprised.

Lu Mingzheng thought about it and shook his head: "That's right. It's mainly due to the adjustment of the nature of the work."

Song Zhian was excited: "Ming Zheng, you have been promoted after only two years since you returned. Your future is limitless."

Xing Qingsheng patted him on the shoulder: "Ming Zheng, you can't forget us."

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "Of course." After saying that, he looked back at Zhu Xiaomin.

What is this kid thinking about?

Zhu Xiaomin gave him a blank look in return.

It was a good thing to be promoted, and she was happy for him, but why did there seem to be some uncertainty in his eyes?

Everyone was eating and chatting. The glutinous rice had been finished, and the peanut shells, melon seed shells and edamame shells on the table were cleared again and again. Luo Ye couldn't hold on anymore and fell asleep leaning against Zhu Xiaomin. Luo Tingyuan hugged him back.

The last batch of mooncakes was baked and it was already dark. Everyone did some simple cleaning and went back to rest.

Lu Mingzheng was busy working with her. He hesitated several times and finally said nothing.

Although Zhu Xiaomin saw it, she was afraid that the boy would say something about getting married or not, so she didn't ask.

Early the next morning, when the whistle blew for work, everyone had already washed up, had a simple bowl of porridge, and went directly to the brigade headquarters to receive their tasks.

Zhu Xiaomin, Miao Shiwen, and Xie Chengzhi received full work points. They were all at the brigade headquarters at this time, and Lu Mingzheng also volunteered to help.

Tasks were assigned to everyone, and soon members of the commune transported the already dried grain back to the warehouse to make room for today's new grain.

After this busy period, it was already half the morning, and a few people finally got some time to breathe.

Lu Mingzheng looked at his watch and felt indescribable reluctance, but he could only say, "I have to go."

It was National Day off and he had to catch the long-distance train back in the afternoon at the latest.

Xie Chengzhi immediately said: "I'll give it to you..." As soon as he said it, he was pulled by Miao Shiwen, and he immediately changed his words, "Oh, I can't give it to you, let Xiaomin give it to you."

Lu Mingzheng immediately went to see Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin: "..."

It doesn't have to be so obvious.

He sighed helplessly and nodded: "I'm afraid I won't have time for lunch when I get to the county at this time, so I'll go back to the educated youth spot to bring some food." I left the matter in hand to Miao Shiwen for the time being, and walked out with Lu Mingzheng.

Coming out of the brigade headquarters and going downhill, standing on the slope, you can see the scene of working in today's mission field from a distance.

Zhu Xiaomin raised her eyebrows and smiled: "With the income from the base this year, we have more than 700 kilograms of oil. By the end of the new year, if we kill a few sheep and share a share, we won't have to exchange food for anything. Next year, we won't have to go hungry anymore." ”

Looking at her raised eyebrows, Lu Mingzheng smiled and felt his heart was full. He nodded slightly: "Xiaomin, you really surprised me."

Isn't this kid going to confess again?

Zhu Xiaomin looked back at him, immediately quickened her pace, and yelled to escape: "I asked Xiao Luo Ye to help look after the fire. I don't know if that little guy will run away."

Lu Mingzheng smiled helplessly and had no choice but to speed up and follow.

In the educated youth spot, Luo Ye was carrying a small backpack and was about to walk to the backyard. When he saw the two coming back, he immediately shouted brightly.

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "Where do you see the fire?"

Luo Ye quickly pointed to a stove from yesterday: "I just saw it before I planned to go to the backyard."

Zhu Xiaomin went over to take a look, patted his head and praised: "Our Luo Ye is really reliable." Seeing him running away, she went to get a few newspapers, fished out two tea eggs from the pot and wrapped them, and then took out the tea eggs that she had specially left yesterday. Several months of cakes were put in a net bag and handed to Lu Mingzheng.

Lu Mingzheng was watching her work quietly from the side, with a dancing light in his eyes. He took it with his hands, opened his mouth and was about to speak, when he saw Luo Ye running out again and shouting at Zhu Xiaomin: "Sister Xiaomin Sister Xiaomin, the little rabbits have been born again, there are seven of them." He rushed to pull Lu Mingzheng, "Brother Lu, you haven't seen it yet, right? I'll take you to see it."

Lu Mingzheng's words were blocked for a moment, and he nodded helplessly: "Okay."

Zhu Xiaomin reminded: "Don't take too long."

Lu Mingzheng nodded and followed Luo Ye.

After a while, he came back, picked up his luggage, rubbed Luo Ye's head, said hello to Luo Tingyuan, and turned to look at Zhu Xiaomin.

If you don't say goodbye to her, you just want her to send it off.

Zhu Xiaomin had no choice but to go back to the brigade headquarters, so she had no choice but to follow him out.

It was a school holiday, and there were only two people in the educated youth spot, the father and his son. Going down the hillside, the forest seemed even quieter.

Lu Mingzheng watched Lin Zi walking halfway, and finally said: "I..."

Unexpectedly, before a word came out of his mouth, Zhu Xiaomin also said at the same time: "I..."

"What?" they both asked at the same time.

Looking at each other, Lu Mingzheng smiled, nodded and said, "You go first."

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it, smiled and shook his head: "What I said is not important, you can say it first."

"Yeah!" Lu Mingzheng nodded, but didn't say anything for a moment. He took another dozen steps, stopped slowly, turned around and stared at her silently.

Feeling his solemnity, Zhu Xiaomin instantly felt nervous. She wanted to run away, but she also had a vague expectation and an unspeakable contradiction.

Lu Mingzheng thought about his words and then whispered: "Xiaomin, I...I know you won't agree to me now. Originally, I wanted to take it slow, and you will always accept me, but...but..."

But what?

Zhu Xiaomin opened her mouth to ask, but was speechless. She just looked up at him, anxious in her heart, afraid that he would mention marriage again, but she seemed afraid that he would give up.

Facing her dark eyes, Lu Mingzheng's heart felt unstable for a moment. He hesitated and continued: "It's not that the pilot task of the third brigade is not given to me, it's that I have no way to take it. After the New Year, I... …I’m going to the army…”

After going to the army, he didn't have much free time to come here, and he didn't have time to slowly develop with her.

But before he could say the next words, Zhu Xiaomin's face suddenly turned pale, she grabbed him and shouted, "What did you say?"

"Xiaomin?" Her overreaction made him startled, and he shouted in a low voice, and had to say, "I...I want to say that I don't want to wait any longer..."

"Where did you say you were going?" Zhu Xiaomin's hand pinched his arm tightly and she stared at him and asked.
