Regardless of whether Zhu Xiaomin wanted to or not, he still took Lu Mingzheng out of the brigade headquarters and headed for the educated youth spot.

Lu Mingzheng followed her step by step with a bundle of luggage borrowed from the brigade headquarters.

Fortunately, Lu Mingzheng didn't mention the marriage again. He walked down the slope with her, walked through the woods, and then went up the slope on the other side to talk about the production work here in the past six months.

Zhu Xiaomin answered casually. Listening to his voice, she felt a little nostalgic for the silent Lu Mingzheng.

In two lifetimes, this is the first time I’ve seen this kid so noisy.

At the Educated Youth Point, the entrance that originally had no gate is now made of two fence gates made of wicker. They are just over one person tall. Through the gap, you can have a clear view of the courtyard.

Seeing Lu Mingzheng's doubts, Zhu Xiaomin explained: "The chickens will be let out during the day. When there is no one in the yard, I don't want them to run out of the yard, so I made a fence gate." Then he opened the door and went in.

At this time, the rest of the educated youth were on the mountain, and the educated youth spot was quiet and deserted.

Lu Mingzheng bent down and touched the wooden table in the yard, then looked up at the grape trellis above, then turned around and scanned the Japanese melon vines that had climbed all over the wall and the green vegetables in half the yard, and sighed: "This change is really amazing. Small."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled, walked around in the vegetable field, and when she came out, she picked two tomatoes, scooped water into the tank, washed them, gave one to Lu Mingzheng, and ate one herself. She said helplessly: "We originally thought about putting the educated youth Vegetables have been grown in the open spaces outside, and we can also raise a few more chickens, but the secretary helped us fight for half a day and only allowed us to raise five chickens, and the vegetables can only be planted in the yard."

Lu Mingzheng took a bite of the tomato, but felt that it was soft, gritty, and warm from the sun. He sighed unconsciously and whispered: "When the educated youth point was just built, I applied for it, but they said it was Hedonism, saying that I have to continue to receive re-education from working people, failed.”

Hedonism?

Zhu Xiaomin looked deeply at him.

You know, when the Educated Youth Point was first established, the movement was still very intense. At that time, being labeled a label was definitely not like now. It was just a verbal criticism and it was entirely possible to be dragged out for a denouncement.

Lu Mingzheng guessed her thoughts and smiled at her, a bit self-deprecating: "Fortunately, I have a good background and I only criticize publicly."

Therefore, most people in this era live cautiously, except for those people.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded silently, patted his shoulder naturally with her free hand, and said comfortingly: "It will be over soon, good days are ahead." After saying this, he realized what he had done, and quickly put his hand away. When he came back, he coughed and turned his head away in embarrassment.

Lu Mingzheng was also stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Well, at least, now we can do something."

Zhu Xiaomin was still a little embarrassed. She threw the tomatoes she had finished eating next to some chickens, stood up and walked toward the dormitory: "Do you want to sleep in a room by yourself, or go to your original dormitory?"

"Why doesn't anyone move in?" Lu Mingzheng asked, getting up and following her.

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head: "Not yet, but I heard there will be new people coming next month."

Next month, another batch of middle school and high school students will graduate.

Lu Mingzheng nodded, threw his luggage to his original dormitory, came out again, and said to Zhu Xiaomin: "Come on, write a plan, I will take it away tomorrow."

Zhu Xiaomin glared at him: "I should have just written it at the brigade headquarters."

Lu Mingzheng looked at her and said nothing.

Zhu Xiaomin knew damn well that he wanted to be alone with her.

Suppressing the discomfort in my heart, I had no choice but to go in and get a pen and paper, and began to write down my original ideas in words, and then slowly refined them.

Lu Mingzheng sat next to her. Every time she filled up a piece of paper, he would take it over and look at it carefully, making corrections on it.

It was almost noon, Zhu Xiaomin had finished writing all his ideas. Seeing that Lu Mingzheng was still revising, he turned on a small stove, boiled a few potatoes, peeled them, crushed them into puree, and added flour. I baked a few potato pancakes, picked some vegetables from the yard and fried them, fished out some pickled bitter vegetables, mixed them again, and made some egg soup and brought them over together.

Lu Mingzheng smelled the fragrance and looked up to see the delicious food. He was a little surprised. He raised his head and smiled at her: "Why don't I remember that you have such good craftsmanship?"

I learned it after leaving here in my previous life.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and took it as an answer. She put a bowl of soup in front of him and said, "The potato pancakes are not delicious when they are cold. Eat first and then look at it later."

Lu Mingzheng nodded, went to wash his hands, rolled a piece of pancake and took a bite, feeling the delicious taste filling his mouth. He nodded with satisfaction, took out a few cloth tickets from his pocket, and pushed them directly in front of her.

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned: "What are you doing?"

Lu Mingzheng said: "I gave this to you last year. I don't need it. I'll give you some clothes."

Why does it sound like it was given to her family in the previous life?

Zhu Xiaomin felt as if she had been burned and pushed back hastily: "I don't want it."

Lu Mingzheng looked up at her, then lowered his head to take a few mouthfuls of food, and then slowly said: "It's a waste if I keep it. You don't want it, or you can give it to someone else."

"Lu Mingzheng, you...can you stop doing this, I said I won't be with you..." Zhu Xiaomin shouted angrily.

Lu Mingzheng looked up at her and said in confusion: "I didn't say that I gave you the coupons just to keep you with me. It just... I didn't use the coupons from last year, so I gave them to you."

"Why do you want to use it for me? I'm not yours. I...I mean, I don't want to be yours either. How can I want your things?" Zhu Xiaomin began to speak incoherently.

Lu Mingzheng's eyes dimmed, and he ignored the cloth ticket. He lowered his head and ate slowly again. After a while, he whispered: "It turns out that when I was here, everyone used these things regardless of each other. They are useful." Just use it, don’t treat me as one of your own now.”

what?

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, as if, maybe, it was... like this.

Everyone came here from different cities to become educated youth. They were all around the age of seventeen, eighty or twenty, far away from their parents and family. It would be a lie to say that they were not panicked and confused.

Later, we got to know each other. In this big courtyard, we ate and lived together, and hugged each other for warmth. Gradually, we became like a family. If one person has food, he will definitely share it with everyone. If one person has money to spend, he will also I won’t hide it away by myself.

Especially Lu Mingzheng, every time something comes from his home, everyone is as happy as if it was something sent from their own home, and they rush to grab it noisily.

Now my reaction seems to be a bit more intense.

Zhu Xiaomin scratched her head and stared at the ticket for a while, then picked it up, nodded and said, "Well, I'll discuss it with Shiwen later and see how to use it."

Seeing that she no longer refused, Lu Mingzheng bit into the food and said "hmm" without raising his head, but the corners of his lips could not help but curl up.

This still works.
