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

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it, but still couldn't make up her mind, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: Zhu Xiaomin, Zhu Xiaomin, it's a waste that you lived an extra life, and you still put yourself in a dilemma.

If she had not married Lu Mingzheng, she would not have faced this choice. She would have stayed in the village with peace of mind and quietly waited for the resumption of the college entrance examination in two years.

But now, she had to take Lu Mingzheng into consideration.

What's even more irritating is that she decided to be with Lu Mingzheng because he had returned to the trajectory of his previous life. She watched him pass that level. As a result, the boy never went to the battlefield.

Grinding my back molars, feeling resentful in my heart, I suddenly had an idea. I jumped out of bed, took out a pen and paper from my bag, and quickly wrote a text message.

Lu Mingzheng:

I have already returned to Hedong City, but something happened in the middle. Now I don't want to go back, but I don't want to stay in the provincial capital either. All I have to consider now is you. Give me your opinion, or make a decision for me.

A revolutionary salute

Xiaomin

X month x day 75

Putting the hot problem away, Zhu Xiaomin seemed to have solved a big problem. She folded the letter and jumped on the bed again. She warmed her cold hands and feet, took a long breath, and fell asleep peacefully.

When she got up the next day, Zhu Xiaomin took a good wash, boiled water, and finished the remaining four tea eggs and half a roast chicken. Then she came out with the letter, went to the post office, bought stamps for the envelope, put the letter in the mailbox, and went out by herself. , walking briskly straight to the largest shopping mall in the provincial capital.

Since she couldn't decide about returning to the city, she had no choice but to go back to the forest farm. Now that she was here, she had to bring something to the people there.

Walking from the first floor to the second floor of the shopping mall, I thought of the scenes of male educated youths clumsily mending socks every year in addition to the clothes mended by Miao Shiwen. I went straight to the counter where the socks were placed and saw several designs and colors on the counter. nylon socks, and said to the salesperson: "Comrade, please show me the socks here."

The saleswoman was sitting at the counter knitting a sweater. When she heard the shouting, she rolled her eyes and looked over at her. She said coldly: "Eight cents for a pair."

Not only for rural people, but also for urban people, these socks are not cheap.

In this day and age, salespeople feel superior to others just because they have an iron job. Zhu Xiaomin was not annoyed and just said, "Well, please bring it up and take a look."

The salesperson was impatient: "If you want to buy it, just buy it. If you don't want to buy it, don't look at it."

Zhu Xiaomin lost his patience: "Well, let's take it up and take a look. If it's not an inferior product that's broken at first glance, I'll buy forty pairs."

Forty pairs?

There were not many people in the mall, but not too few. When the few people milling around heard it, they all looked over in surprise.

How come someone buys forty pairs of socks these days?

The salesperson's face darkened when he heard the previous sentence: "How can you say that? Whose socks are inferior products?"

"It's not a low-quality product. Why didn't you show it when I asked you to take a look?" Zhu Xiaomin asked back.

The salesperson looked her up and down: "How can a poor person pretend to be a good person?"

Socks do not require cloth stamps, and the price is on the high side. One pair of socks is worth a pound of pork. Forty pairs of socks cost thirty-two yuan, which is not a small amount of money at this time.

Zhu Xiaomin asked back: "You didn't show me anything or place an order. How do you know I'm poor?"

Just by looking at your torn cotton coat, you can tell that you are poor.

The salesman rolled his eyes and remained seated.

At this time, a woman's voice came around the corner and said: "Comrade, this is what you are wrong about. People bought forty pairs because they said they were of good quality. But you didn't show them to others, so you just said they couldn't afford it."

Zhu Xiaomin looked back and saw a woman with a haircut standing there. Although she had changed her clothes, she recognized her at a glance. She was one of the female cadres she had seen at the guest house in Hedong City. She was beside her. There was another person, whose appearance was blocked by her body. It was most likely a woman, only as tall as her shoulders.

The female cadre met her gaze and just nodded.

The salesperson glanced at the female cadre and seemed to think that she had some background. She didn't dare to change her attitude towards Zhu Xiaomin, so she mumbled and picked up a pair of socks and threw them to Zhu Xiaomin. She stared at her, as if she was afraid that she would run away after taking them.

At this time, Zhu Xiaomin had lost interest in buying it. She took it and tugged it, then circled it around her hand and shook her head: "The socks are too rough to knit and they are worn on the designated feet. I won't buy them." Throw it back to the salesperson.

The salesperson was angry: "Why are you talking?"

Zhu Xiaomin looked calm: "Your mall is under the banner of serving the people, but it doesn't serve the people well. How do you want others to talk? If you want to comment, then call your leader here. I'd like to ask you what your reasons are." ?”

When the salesperson saw that she didn't give in, she suddenly got stuck. She took the socks back bitterly and sat back to knit a sweater.

A soft female voice said: "Sister Qinmei, don't worry about her, she is just a country girl who is causing trouble."

Zhu Xiaomin had already turned around to leave. When this voice hit her ears, an electric current seemed to pass through her brain. Huo turned around and looked in the direction of the female cadre.

Lu Minghui!

Lu Mingzheng's little sister.

Zhu Xiaomin froze when she saw that face sticking out and looking at her with disdain.

Now it seems that she is just an innocent and harmless little girl, but in her previous life, this little girl had countless scheming thoughts in her heart. That is to say, she took her child away despite all precautions.

At this time, Lu Minghui was not the college student in her twenties whom she had met for the first time in her previous life, but a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old. When she saw her murderous eyes, she was also startled. He quickly grabbed the female cadre named "Qinmei" and hid behind her.

Chen Qinmei was also a little surprised. She looked at Zhu Xiaomin, but didn't see anything. She just said, "Don't talk nonsense." She turned around and asked the salesperson for the product she was interested in.

The moment Chen Qinmei looked over, Zhu Xiaomin had already put away all the anger in her body. She stared at Lu Minghui closely, turned and walked away.

Even for Lu Mingzheng, she didn't want to bring bad luck to the Lu family in this life, but she didn't want to have any interaction with them unless they came to mess with her.

At another shopping mall, at the same price, Zhu Xiaomin bought forty pairs of socks, thirty-nine pairs for adults and one pair for children, including four pairs of women's socks.

He put the socks in his satchel and walked along the mall, thinking about what Lu Mingzheng lacked in his current environment.

However, in the army, there is a collective meal, and the clothes are also issued by the army, so I really don't know what he lacks.

Slowly turning, I turned to the stationery counter and saw the neatly arranged stationery. My eyes lit up. I hurriedly went over to take a closer look in the rows, but I saw that they were all ordinary pens. I asked the salesperson: "Comrade, do you have any?" Hero 71A Industrial Drawing Pen?”

"What?" The salesperson didn't understand.

Zhu Xiaomin gestured: "It's the professional pen newly released by the Hero Pen Factory in 71, round and with a sharp nib."
