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

He Lanfang heard her say that, stretched her neck to take a look at the list, and couldn't help but said with a smile: "I knew it was a gift for a friend, I didn't know I would have thought you were getting married by yourselves."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "It's inconvenient for them to buy things in the village, and the town's supply and marketing cooperative doesn't have a complete range of products."

He Lanfang asked: "What about the county?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head and looked at the list: "Well, there are some county supply and marketing cooperatives that can do it." She crossed them out and asked He Lanfang, "I want to buy two good quilt covers. Which mall would be better?"

He Lanfang immediately said, "Of course it's the Hongqi Department Store, the largest in Pingcheng, but it's a little far from here. I'll go with you after we have a break."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and asked something else.

He Lanfang's home was in Pingcheng and she was quite familiar with the city. So one weekend, he took her to the Hongqi Shopping Mall.

Zhu Xiaomin took some cloth coupons and industrial vouchers and bought everything suitable for a wedding.

He Lanfang was dumbfounded and murmured, "Are these bride and groom really not from your family?"

If she wasn't young, I would have thought she was going to marry a daughter-in-law.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at her and then slowly said, "We have lived together for seven years. When I first went there, I knew nothing and could do nothing. It was all thanks to their tolerance for me. Later, when I got married, it was Shiwen who sewed the quilts for me and decorated the new house. I couldn't go back earlier to help them get married, but I had to do my part."

He Lanfang was moved by what she heard. She was stunned for a moment and whispered, "My sister went to the countryside back then, so I didn't have to go. Now that I think about it, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing if I went."

"It's hard to say." Zhu Xiaomin sighed and patted her shoulder. "Many times, whether a place makes you miss it or not depends on the kind of people you meet. Not all educated youth can unite with everyone."

It can be said that most of the educated youth sites were not as united as they were.

He Lanfang nodded and said nothing more.

The two of them strolled around for most of the day and returned with a full load in the afternoon. As soon as they entered the building, they ran into Guo Hongtao head-on.

Seeing the two people carrying large and small bags, Guo Hongtao asked in surprise: "Where have you been? Buying so many things." She was about to go out, but followed the two people back and went upstairs.

He Lanfang said helplessly: "Xiaomin's friend is getting married, and we are just helping to buy things."

Guo Hongtao asked hurriedly: "Who is it?"

Zhu Xiaomin had no choice but to tell her: "They are Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen whom you have met."

Guo Hongtao said "Oh" and nodded, "Among those people, Xie Chengzhi and Chen Xudong are the most outstanding. Miao Shiwen is quite good at selecting people, and she couldn't have done any better."

What the hell is this person farting about?

Zhu Xiaomin didn't want to pay attention to her. She walked in, put her things on the table, and started to sort them out one by one.

Some things need to be sent back in advance, such as quilt covers, while some can just be taken back and placed in the closet first.

Guo Hongtao came over and saw the quilt cover at a glance. She exclaimed, "Why did you buy a satin quilt cover? It's a pity to use it in the countryside." Then she reached out and took it, rubbing it in her hand.

Zhanzhan's quilt cover was rubbed into several wrinkles by her. Zhu Xiaomin felt distressed and quickly pulled it out of her hand. She said coldly: "Things are used by people, and quilts are used to cover themselves. It has nothing to do with being in the countryside or in the city." Seeing that she was still staring at it, she put it directly in the cabinet.

Guo Hongtao curled her lips: "In a place like that, a piece of cloth is enough. No one can understand this satin."

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at her and ignored her.

Guo Hongtao sat on her bed, shaking her feet and asked, "Xiaomin, do you think that group of people will stay in the village forever?"

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head and said decisively: "No!"

Guo Hongtao chuckled: "Luckily, my cousin was registered with our family. When it was time to go to the countryside, my mother let her take our place. Otherwise, I would have gone."

Your mother is pretty wicked too.

Zhu Xiaomin commented in her heart.

She didn't say anything, and Guo Hongtao didn't think there was anything wrong. She leaned back against the wall and looked at He Lanfang again: "Xiao He, are you still putting off your work?"

Work was a concern for He Lanfang. When she asked, she felt annoyed and gave a vague reply, then changed the subject: "It looks cold today. I wonder when the furnace will be installed."

Guo Hongtao glared: "You don't know about it in the administrative office? We don't know about it either."

He Lanfang also realized that she had changed the subject in a bad way, so she just said, "Well, it seems like it got cold earlier this year than in previous years. I'll ask later."

Speaking of this, Guo Hongtao complained: "Your second floor is much better than our first floor. Our first floor is too damp, and even with the stove it's not as warm as yours." She touched Zhu Xiaomin's mattress and said, "Fortunately I have several mattresses."

Just as he finished speaking, he felt the rabbit fur underneath and lifted it up with a cry of "Ah" and asked, "Why is there a leather mattress underneath?"

Zhu Xiaomin frowned barely noticeably and just said "hmm", "I got it when I was in the village."

Guo Hongtao was envious. She turned over most of the mattress and touched the rabbit fur underneath again and again, saying "tsk tsk" repeatedly, "It's a pity to use such good leather as a mattress, Xiaomin, let me exchange a mattress with you."

Zhu Xiaomin shook her head: "No."

Guo Hongtao advised: "My mattress is thicker than your rabbit skin, so it will be more comfortable to sleep on. Our first floor is too damp, and the rabbit skin I laid on it will keep out the moisture." She was talking to herself and was about to lift up the mattress.

He Lanfang was anxious: "Sister Guo, those educated youth who went to the countryside to work with Xiaomin gave them to her. It's not good for you to take them away."

Guo Hongtao didn't take it seriously: "Anyway, she still has so many people in the countryside, let them do it."

Zhu Xiaomin was already quite impatient when she saw her bed was messed up by her, but she didn't get angry. She just said with a fake smile: "Sister Guo, these are things from the countryside. How can city people be so superficial and care about them? It's really embarrassing, don't you think?"

Guo Hongtao was stunned and stopped, opened her mouth, and said after a long while: "That's not the case. You can't get so many rabbit skins in the city."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "We can't get rabbit skins. I know our brigade will slaughter sheep soon, so we will have a batch of sheep skins. If Sister Guo wants some, I will help her say hello and leave one for you."

Guo Hongtao instantly got rid of the embarrassment just now and said happily: "Sheepskin is thicker than rabbit skin. I want sheepskin. Please."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "The market price of a sheepskin is 55 yuan. Our own sheep is sent to the fur factory for processing, and the cost price is 30 yuan. Sister Guo, do you want to pay now or pay after the sheepskin is brought in?"

Guo Hongtao was surprised: "Why do you want more money?"

Zhu Xiaomin said: "It's not easy for country people to work, how can they get it for free? This is just the cost price. The educated youths also paid this price when they bought it themselves. Outsiders can't afford it, but even if they can, it will cost more than 50 yuan."
