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

Zhu Xiaomin was not surprised, so she remained silent for a moment, smiled slightly, and nodded: "I know that the end of the year and the beginning of the year are the busiest times for them, and it's such a long journey, so it doesn't matter."

Her letter was sent back, and there is still no news from her family.

Lu Mingzheng heard that she didn't care and was not relieved, but felt a little depressed.

She really didn't care about his family.

After living for two lives, Zhu Xiaomin knew that he was conflicted at this time, but she didn't want to say more about the Lu family. She pulled him into the house and gave him a neatly folded sweater on the kang: "Reciprocity should be reciprocated. It can’t just be you giving it to me.”

Lu Mingzheng took it over and saw that it was a brand new set of sweaters and pants. He couldn't help being surprised and happy, and asked hurriedly: "Did you knit it yourself?" He couldn't wait to mark it on himself.

Zhu Xiaomin responded with a smile, and helped him pull his sleeves and shoulders, nodded and said, "I thought the sweater would be looser and more comfortable. It looks about the same."

After a while, the blockage in Lu Mingzheng's heart had already dissipated. He held her in his arms and whispered, "Xiaomin, this is the best gift I have ever received."

As long as she has him in her heart, why bother?

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and let him be gentle for a while before going back to her dormitory.

The other three people in the room had already washed up. Zhang Qiaomei and Wang Xiaoya were picking through a pile of rags, while Miao Shiwen was sewing under the lamp.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed when he saw it: "You are sewing under the lamp again, how can your eyes bear it?"

Miao Shiwen said: "This dress will be repaired with a few more stitches."

Zhu Xiaomin had no choice but to say, "There's no rush now." He went over and took the needle away from her hand.

Miao Shiwen was helpless: "What a little housekeeper, I really don't know how Ming Zheng can tolerate you?"

Zhu Xiaomin replied smoothly: "He doesn't do needlework."

"Pfft!" Imagine Lu Mingzheng holding the needle, and the three of them couldn't help laughing.

Wang Xiaoya held her cheek and looked at Zhu Xiaomin with bright eyes, and said with envy: "Sister Xiaomin, Brother Lu is so kind to you."

Zhu Xiaomin giggled, and went over to pinch her little face: "Envy me, you have to keep your eyes open in the future and choose a good man."

Wang Xiaoya blushed: "I don't want it."

"Tsk, tsk!" Miao Shiwen couldn't help but laugh, "When you talk about it, you know it all better than us. Why don't you want it now? Don't be duplicitous."

Wang Xiaoya pulled the quilt and covered her head: "You are making fun of me again. I fell asleep and ignored you."

Several people were amused by her, and after a while, Zhang Qiaomei said softly: "Colleague Mingzheng gave us such things, which means they are in the city, but not in the village."

Miao Shiwen nodded: "Three turns and one ring also started in the city, and the betrothal gift in the village is only a few dozen yuan."

Zhang Qiaomei sat with her knees in her arms, lost in thought, and asked after a while: "Shiwen, you... have you ever thought about going back to the city to find someone else?"

Miao Shiwen was stunned and looked at her and couldn't help laughing: "Do you want to go back to the city or are you looking for a partner?"

Zhang Qiaomei sighed: "We are not young anymore. There are only these people staying here. Do we need to find someone from the village? I thought that I would have more opportunities when I returned to the city."

Miao Shiwen agreed with this point, nodded and said: "It's just that it's hard to say about returning to the city. Even Ming Zheng has finally waited for the opportunity. As for marriage... I think there is no suitable person in the village or in the city." , I would rather not look for it.”

Zhang Qiaomei whispered: "I'm the same age as you, but...but you graduated from high school, so it's easier than me."

Miao Shiwen sighed: "So what if you graduate? Getting married always depends on how you live your life."

Zhang Qiaomei nodded and stopped talking.

After a while, Zhu Xiaomin had washed up and got on the kang. He said with a smile: "Everyone has his own destiny. A year ago, I never thought about marrying Lu Mingzheng. According to me, let's put the current relationship first. When things go well, who knows where fate is waiting.”

Miao Shiwen nodded and smiled: "That's right. This kind of thing can't be rushed."

Zhang Qiaomei said "hmm" and stopped talking.

After distributing the food, Zhu Xiaomin was completely free. Under Miao Shiwen's repeated urging, she asked Lu Mingzheng to accompany her the next day and went into the village with bright red corduroy to find Mrs. Chen.

Wang Xiaoya found it novel and took Miao Shiwen with her.

The four of them walked down the path below the brigade, crossed the river and entered the village directly. The third house on the right was Mrs. Chen's house.

When Sister-in-law Chen heard that she was going to make Zhu Xiaomin's wedding clothes, she agreed without hesitation: "It's too late, it's still a month away. Even if there are others, I'd rather push it and make it yours first." After saying that, she took out the ruler. Measure her clothes.

Next to him, Miao Shiwen gestured: "Sister-in-law, Xiaomin loves to be pretty. Choose a new style."

Sister-in-law Chen smiled: "I haven't seen much of you. Tell us what you want to do and we will think about it."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "I don't understand. My sister-in-law asked about poetry. Anyway, it doesn't look good, so I blame her."

"Tsk." Miao Shiwen squinted at her, "Who has the final say whether it looks good or not? Let Ming Zheng say it, and I'll see if he dares to say whether it looks good or not."

It really is……

Several people couldn't hold back their laughter.

Lu Mingzheng was helpless: "Why are you talking about my head?"

Everyone was talking and laughing when suddenly they heard a noise outside the door, accompanied by a woman crying loudly.

Miao Shiwen frowned: "What's going on?"

Sister-in-law Chen shook her head as if she was used to it, and said in a low voice: "It's true that it's an evil thing. Qian Baldy's wife has always been rubbed by Aunt Qian since Qian Baldy died. Some time ago, she got angry for some reason. , took an ax to kill people, and later blocked Mrs. Qian in the room and beat her hard, and finally she was subdued."

"What now?" Zhu Xiaomin was also surprised.

She started delivering eggs to the county from the base. When she had something to do, she always hitched a ride into the city. She hadn't been through the village for a long time. After Qian Baldy died, she encouraged Huang Meihua to do her job. The Qian family untied the girl's iron chain. I thought she had escaped.

Sister-in-law Chen shook her head: "What else can we do? Now Aunt Qian does all the work in the house and serves her. When other people from the Qian family come to the house, she will kill them with an ax. No one dares to come to the house in fear. Anyway, the daughter-in-law is in charge. Aunt Qian, Qian Laosan rushed to take care of her, but it’s still the same after she left, all day long.” He sighed repeatedly.

Qian Laosan in her mouth is Qian Yuanfei.

Zhu Xiaomin quickly looked at Lu Mingzheng and changed the topic tacitly.

By the time the four of them came out of Mrs. Chen's house, the crying had subsided. Mrs. Qian was sobbing and washing clothes in the yard with trembling hands. She didn't see the shadow of her daughter-in-law.

You look pitiful like this, but who asked you to do evil?

Zhu Xiaomin thought without sympathy, pulled Miao Shiwen and said, "Let's go."

As soon as the four people turned around, they saw Aunt Qian next door to Aunt Qian. She poked her head out, took a look at the yard over there, then shrank back and wanted to go back. When she saw them, she was stunned and ran out again, waving across the courtyard wall and pressing down. The voice shouted: "Bless the educated youth, Miao educated youth."

The four of them stopped and did not go over. Miao Shiwen greeted with a smile: "Hello, Aunt Qian. Are you almost ready for the new year?"

Her voice didn't rise, but she didn't lower it either. Aunt Qian was startled, and she hurriedly raised her finger and gestured: "Shhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Then she hurriedly looked next door.

Zhu Xiaomin looked over and clearly saw that the door of a room moved slightly and opened a crack. She stepped forward and grabbed Miao Shiwen, and said with a smile: "Second aunt, what are you saying?" Human?"
