Lu Mingzheng didn't know about Nie Yifei yet, and was a little surprised: "What happened to Nie Yifei?"

Zhu Xiaomin chuckled and told the story again, saying in a low voice: "It happened a few days ago. The two were dragged away for three days of criticism. Later, the evidence was pulled out, and when they came back, Nie Yifei moved in."

Lu Mingzheng was stunned and looked at her several times. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that this matter was weird.

Although Nie Yifei is a selfish and narrow-minded person who will do anything to achieve his goals, he also thinks highly of himself. He was forced to marry Shi Meijun, but there was no way he would get entangled with Qian Zhuang's widow.

Zhu Xiaomin received his gaze, chuckled, and reached out to pinch his waist: "Don't look at me like that, it has nothing to do with me."

There is no three hundred taels of silver here.

Lu Mingzheng understood, but he just didn't understand why she suddenly became mad at Nie Yifei.

Zhu Xiaomin sighed and had to talk about Nie Yifei's plan to get Wang Xiaoya's university quota again: "Now that he has that reputation, not to mention that he will not pass the political review for university admission, even if he passes, the widow Qian Zhuang will not agree to let him go."

Lu Mingzheng nodded, but said helplessly: "Although he doesn't deserve the quota, if he stays in the village, I'm afraid he will do something bad again."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and suddenly smiled again: "Then let Widow Qian Zhuang keep a closer eye on him."

How to do it?

Lu Mingzheng looked at her suspiciously.

At this time, they arrived at the door of Aunt Huang Liu's house again. Zhu Xiaomin said nothing more and pulled him in.

Aunt Huang Liu smiled as soon as she saw Lu Mingzheng. She was also delighted when she saw him in his military uniform. She asked the two to sit down and poured water for them. She sighed, "You two young couples have only been married for a few months, but you don't spend much time together. Now that you're a soldier, I'm afraid you spend even less time together, right?"

Lu Mingzheng nodded in response, hugged his wife and said, "I know I have wronged Xiaomin."

Aunt Huang Liu smiled and said, "It's good that you know it, but you have to be nice to Xiaomin."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu Mingzheng asked about Aunt Huang Liu's life.

Aunt Huang Liu sighed and then laughed, "In previous years, those who received work points would be deprived of food, and it was even harder for us. But last year, because of the orchard and the base, the team had more harvests. Not only did we get money, but we also got oil and meat. We are much better off now." She patted Zhu Xiaomin's hand and said, "Thanks to Xiaomin girl."

Zhu Xiaomin was not polite and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Aunt Huang Liu, life will get better and better."

It turned out that the problem of my own work was not determined, so there was no way to be sure about the future development here. Now that a decision has been made, other places still need to be investigated, but the plan here has already taken shape in my mind.

After leaving Aunt Huang Liu's house, they went to see Grandma Xia and several other elderly people. Then they came back the same way. When they passed by Aunt Qian's house, they saw Aunt Qian sitting in the yard washing clothes, muttering something in her mouth, but no one knew what she was cursing.

It was not until he went over that Lu Mingzheng was surprised: "There are only the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, so why are there such a huge pile of clothes?" At just one glance, there were more than a dozen pieces of clothing, and some unpacked and washed bedding.

Zhu Xiaomin didn’t know either and shook her head.

After leaving the village, the two went directly to the brigade headquarters. Lu Mingzheng went to talk to Gu Mancang, while Zhu Xiaomin returned to the office by herself.

Huang Xiaojuan quickly followed, giggling, "I heard yesterday that Lu Zhiqing had returned, so I knew you couldn't get up this morning. You must be exhausted, right? You're here just now."

Zhu Xiaomin pushed her and said jokingly, "What are you thinking about? Let's go to the village to see Grandma Xia and the others." As she spoke, she suddenly remembered, "It's not a festival, why is Aunt Qian washing clothes so early in the morning?"

Huang Xiaojuan chuckled and shook her head, saying, "Mrs. Qian has been bullying the village for most of her life, relying on the fact that she is a widow and has Qian Yuanfei's support. Now she has found her nemesis."

"What?" Zhu Xiaomin asked.

Huang Xiaojuan said: "I don't know where Bai Guihua found a lot of laundry work for her. Not only did she have to wash the clothes, but she also had to mend them. She only made a handful of beans for each piece of clothing. The old bachelors in the village threw out clothes that they hadn't washed or mended for more than ten years."

Zhu Xiaomin was speechless: "She is willing to do it."

Huang Xiaojuan laughed: "If you don't agree, you'll be beaten. A few days ago, I was stripped naked and tied up in the yard for a whole night. I've been very obedient recently."

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a while, and finally said: "It can be considered retribution."

Not to mention that Aunt Qian's indulgence and doting on Tuzi Qian not only killed the female educated youth, but also harmed countless girls. Even Bai Guihua herself, if she hadn't insisted on finding a wife for Tuzi Qian and leaving offspring for him, none of those things would have happened.

Although Huang Xiaojuan was related to the Qian family, she had always been very disgusted with Aunt Qian, so she just told it as a joke and then asked about her return to the city: "This Lu Zhiqing is back, what did he say?"

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I have decided to take over the work of the bureau."

Huang Xiaojuan sighed, "But he won't come to Pingcheng in the future, right? You two will just be in two places like this? Long-term separation is not a solution."

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it and shook her head: "He will go to military school soon. We can't be together for at least two years. Let's wait until he graduates. Or I can join the army in a few years."

"If you join the army, you will have to give up your work. Are you willing to do that?" Huang Xiaojuan asked.

In the past few years, she has been concentrating on the production of the team. It is hard to believe that she would give up her job and follow Lu Mingzheng.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't care: "Even if I follow the army, there will be work arrangements in the army. If not, I will find a way myself. I can only take it one step at a time."

Huang Xiaojuan shook her head: "With your ability, if you do well in the administrative office, you will be promoted. It would be a pity to give up."

She actually has no interest in being an official.

Zhu Xiaomin thought to herself.

Lu Mingzheng lived in the village for more than ten days. In the middle, he went back to the county. When he came back, he said to Zhu Xiaomin, "I asked. The office will arrange dormitories for the employees who don't have housing. Those with family members will have one room each, and those without family members will have two people in one room. You have to take some of your luggage and belongings with you. I will ask later if I can rent a house first."

Zhu Xiaomin waved her hand: "There's no rush for a house. I'm alone and I travel a lot, so it's more convenient to live in a dormitory. I'll leave the things I don't need here for now."

Lu Mingzheng felt indescribably guilty. He hugged her and kissed her again and again, whispering, "I should make arrangements for you before I leave."

Zhu Xiaomin comforted her: "I can do it myself, don't worry."

From the very beginning, she knew where she was going and what job she was going to do, which made her feel much more secure than the confusion she felt after running away from home in her previous life.

Looking at the calmness and determination in her eyes, Lu Mingzheng couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It was her strong independence that made him feel frustrated, and he felt that it didn't matter to her whether he was there or not.

It was not until the last day when he had to report to the military academy that Lu Mingzheng left the village, looking back every few steps. Sitting on Chen Xudong's tractor into the city, he turned around and saw Zhu Xiaomin's slender figure among a group of educated youth who were seeing him off. The figure was getting farther and farther away until it could no longer be seen.
