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

Compared with Lu Mingzheng's family of senior military cadres, her family seems not worth mentioning, but compared to most people, her father is a government cadre and her mother is a factory accountant, which is already a very good condition.

While most people still live in messy bungalows and walk in alleys with sewage flowing across them, her two-story tube building already looks very grand.

The Lantern Festival has just passed and the factory has not yet started working. At this time, my mother should be at home.

Zhu Xiaomin thought to herself, entered the building door, took two steps at a time, and went upstairs excitedly.

Turn right on the second floor. The third room on the right and the fourth room on the left are the houses allocated to her family.

Zhu Xiaomin stopped at the third door on the right.

This is her parents' house. There is a partition inside, and inside the partition is her room.

The memory of her home in her previous life gradually revived as she got closer step by step, becoming vivid before her eyes.

With everything in her left hand, Zhu Xiaomin raised her hand and was about to knock on the door when she heard her mother's voice coming from another room diagonally across the street: "Don't talk about this anymore. You don't want to go to the countryside at that time. Just pretend." I've been sick for two years, so I let your sister go. I originally said that I would let her come back as soon as the recruitment quota was reached, but after I bought it, you asked for it again, and it was given to you. Now your partner wants Mom's job again, and Mom still has several years to quit. What are you doing if you don’t go to work?”

"If you don't want to give up your job to Lijuan, then buy it, otherwise she won't marry me." The young man's voice, full of impatience, came from the door.

"Buy a job? How can our family have so much money? Why don't we save money for you to get married?" The mother's voice was higher.

what?

Zhu Xiaomin's whole body froze, and the blood that had been boiling in her body instantly cooled down. The raised hand dropped weakly, and when the other hand was released, the thing in his hand fell to the ground with a bang. A can bottle broke, and the thick soup was Bleeded all over the ground.

Yes, according to the policy of sending one child from each family to the countryside at that time, her brother graduated from high school first, and he was supposed to go to the countryside. However, he was ill at that time and lay in bed for two years.

Then, she also graduated and went to the countryside according to the policy and went to a forest farm.

When leaving, her parents said that they would not make her work too hard and would send her some money every month so that she could stay well in the country. She understood her parents' last resort, so she readily agreed and left with her luggage. .

Later, a letter came from home saying that my brother's illness gradually improved and he later found a job again.

She was very happy and read the letters over and over again.

My brother has been outstanding since he was a child, and his grades were excellent from elementary school to high school. However, the college entrance examination was canceled the year he graduated from high school, and he had no chance to go to university.

She always thought that he fell ill because he couldn't bear the blow, but to her surprise... he was just pretending.

Also, the so-called recruitment was actually a recruitment quota that the family bought for her. Because he wanted it, it was given to him, leaving her in the countryside like that.

Calculating the time, it should have been four years ago. If she had returned to the city at that time, not only would the incident at the ranger's cabin not have happened, but the relationship with that scumbag Nie Yifei would not have even started yet.

Zhu Xiaomin felt her chest was tight and painful, and turned around in panic to escape. People in the room heard the noise, and when the door opened, Li Yalan came out. When she saw the person standing at the door of her room, she opened her mouth and asked: "Comrade, who are you looking for?"

Zhu Xiaomin clenched her fist, turned around slowly, faced her face to face, opened her mouth, but the word "Mom" was stuck in her throat and did not come out.

The dim light in the corridor cast a shadow on her face, making it difficult to see clearly. Li Yalan squinted her eyes, then suddenly opened them wide, and shouted in surprise: "Xiaomin, why is it you?"

He took a few steps forward, looked her up and down, and stopped at the two net bags on the ground. He stepped forward and grabbed her arm, and asked again, "Why are you here and you didn't say hello."

As he spoke, he shouted again, "Xiaofeng, Xiaofeng, come out quickly and see who is coming."

Who is coming?

It turns out that to this family, she is just a guest. She has "come", not "come back".

Zhu Xiaofeng lazily came out of the room. He was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and then smiled: "Xiaomin is back? Come in and sit down."

"That's right, come on in and sit down." Li Yalan nodded quickly, pushed open the door of her bedroom next to her, and pulled her in.

Stepping into this room again, Zhu Xiaomin looked around subconsciously.

The partition is still the same, but the single bed inside has been replaced by a double bed. The original double bed outside is gone and replaced with a set of sofas, two singles, one double, and a small coffee table in front. , there is a small dining table against the wall on the other side.

It turns out that there is no place for her in this family.

Zhu Xiaomin thought numbly.

"Come, sit down for a while." Li Yalan pulled her towards the sofa and complained, "Why don't you write a letter when you come back so that your dad can wait too?"

It became "come back" again.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said: "I made a temporary decision and didn't have time to write a letter."

Zhu Xiaofeng had already picked up the net bag that had fallen on the ground and put it on the dining table to look through it: "Ah, what about the big front door? Why don't you buy a Marlboro? I wanted to buy one when I was doing errands a few years ago, but unfortunately I couldn't find cigarette coupons. It's still expensive."

Li Yalan looked back and said, "Even if you don't know what your family needs, you might as well get the coupons and money back and at least ask."

Zhu Xiaofeng shook his head, put out five kilograms of sugar and ten cans, and sighed: "I bought some useless things and even bought a bottle. What can you do?" As he said that, he turned over the broken bottle. Put it upside down to avoid leakage.

Li Yalan said: "It's all broken. Take a bowl and pour it out for your sister to eat."

Zhu Xiaofeng said disdainfully: "She won't go by herself?" He opened the oil paper wrapping the roast chicken and smelled it. His eyes lit up and he said with a smile, "It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet." He looked at his hands and hurriedly washed them.

"You kid!" Li Yalan said reproachfully. She went to get a bowl, poured out the broken can, and gave it to Zhu Xiaomin with a spoon: "Here, you have a taste too."

Zhu Xiaomin took it, put it on the coffee table, smiled and said, "I just had dinner."

Zhu Xiaofeng kicked out a stool under the dining table and sat on it. He tore up the roast chicken and ate it: "Years ago, you wrote a letter saying you were married? Why did you come back?"

Zhu Xiaomin was silent for a moment. She was full of words and no longer wanted to say anything. She shook her head: "I'm working for the brigade. It's not far from here. I'll take a detour and come back for a look. I'll go back soon."

Zhu Xiaofeng became interested: "Doing things for the brigade? Do you still have to go on a business trip in the valley?"

Zhu Xiaomin said perfunctorily: "We are a forestry farm. We still have to contact other places for some matters."

Zhu Xiaofeng nodded and asked casually: "Who is the person you married? Isn't he a tough guy?"
