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

After watching the movie, the two held hands and walked leisurely, chatting intermittently. They just felt that time was long and they just wanted to keep walking like this.

Although the road is long, there is always an end. The two returned to the government compound and went to the guesthouse to ask for a bed for Lu Mingzheng, and then returned to the dormitory.

In the dormitory, He Lanfang had already returned. Seeing the two of them, she breathed a sigh of relief and said helplessly, "Guo Hongtao came again just now and wanted to look through your things. I almost didn't stop her. I was so scared."

On the table were not only the things Zhu Xiaomin had packed to take back to the village, but also Lu Mingzheng's backpack.

Zhu Xiaomin covered her forehead and said, "I forgot about her and didn't put the things away."

Lu Mingzheng couldn't help but frown: "Why does this person turn everything upside down?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled bitterly: "Not only do I want to flip through it, I also want everything." Then she sighed softly.

Lu Mingzheng thought about it seriously: "Or, you can rent another house with a separate bathroom and kitchen?"

you?

He Lanfang opened her eyes wide.

Does this include her?

isn't it?

As it turned out, what Lu Mingzheng said was true, and he nodded seriously: "It's not safe to live alone, two people can be companions."

Oh, I’m worried that your wife is not safe alone.

He Lanfang couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled.

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it and sighed, "I'm afraid there's no suitable house nearby, and it's not convenient to go to work further away."

"Buy a bicycle." Lu Mingzheng said immediately.

Zhu Xiaomin patted his knee and said, "Let's talk about it later. There's no rush for this."

He Lanfang asked: "Xiaomin, when do you plan to go back?"

Zhu Xiaomin said: "I will ask for leave from work tomorrow, the day after tomorrow."

I will go back the day after tomorrow. There will only be eight days left before Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen’s wedding, so it’s a good time to visit the various teams.

He Lanfang nodded: "I saw that it seems that your plan has been approved."

"What plan?" Lu Mingzheng asked.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "It's the plan to set up a canning factory in the village. It seems that I have to give the factory a name. Help me think of it."

Lu Mingzheng said without hesitation: "Xiaomin Canning Factory."

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing and pushed him: "It sounds like I've been canned."

Lu Mingzheng looked down at her, watching her rosy little mouth opening and closing as she spoke, and he couldn't help but want to kiss her again.

If he could can her, he would definitely put her in his bag and take her away.

How could Zhu Xiaomin know what he was thinking? She said softly, "Although this factory will be handed back to the commune in the future, it was built by us educated youth, so we have to leave something as a souvenir."

Lu Mingzheng stretched out his hand and scratched her nose: "Think about it slowly. It will take summer to build it."

"Yeah." Zhu Xiaomin responded.

They bought some spare ribs and steamed buns on the way. Zhu Xiaomin took a few potatoes, peeled them and cut them into pieces, then stewed them with the spare ribs in a small pot.

Lu Mingzheng was helping her, watching her skillfully put the ingredients into the pot, and he felt nostalgic: "I haven't eaten the meal you cooked for a long time."

Zhu Xiaomin looked up and smiled at him, stirred the food in the pot, and went to clean up.

Lu Mingzheng followed her and watched her put things into her bag. He handed them to her one by one, even the things in front of Zhu Xiaomin, which he picked up and handed to her first.

Zhu Xiaomin found it funny and pushed him: "Go and have a rest, don't make trouble."

Lu Mingzheng whispered: "I'm not tired, do you want to try?"

This kid is getting more and more outrageous.

Zhu Xiaomin quickly glanced back and saw He Lanfang concentrating on watching the pot. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to glare at him.

Lu Mingzheng smiled openly.

He didn't say anything!

I really didn't say anything.

Over there, He Lanfang was bending over the stove, her face already red, and it was unclear whether it was because of embarrassment or because of the heat.

After the ribs were stewed, a wire mesh was placed on the stove, and sliced ​​steamed buns were roasted on top until they turned golden brown. The three of them ate the stewed ribs with potatoes.

He Lanfang looked at the two people huddled together opposite her. They hadn't left yet, but she was already thinking about it. She murmured, "Xiaomin, you're going back the day after tomorrow, so when will you be back?"

"After the New Year, I'll finish the literacy classes in the 11th Brigade. There's also Shiwen and his friends' wedding. It's the end of the year and there aren't many people in the city, so I'll stay in the village to celebrate the New Year." Zhu Xiaomin replied.

He Lanfang said gloomily: "I can only cook noodles again."

It turns out that he was thinking about food.

Zhu Xiaomin was amused and pointed to the cabinet and said, "In that iron box, there are the seasonings I prepared. You can bake potatoes and eat them yourself, or you can put them underneath. Or the jars contain the fried seasonings, so you can cook hot pot yourself."

"Hmm!" He Lanfang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I'd better cook noodles."

There's no point eating alone.

Zhu Xiaomin said helplessly: "There are still a few cans of pickles."

"Yeah!" He Lanfang nodded.

As Lu Mingzheng listened, he couldn't help but raise his lips when he thought of another person.

If it was Song Zhian, and he left something for him, he would have prepared a whole table for himself, but the girl in front of him was too lazy to even bother with the food she had.

The three of them ate up a few steamed buns and a small pot of stewed potatoes and pork ribs. After sitting for a while, Zhu Xiaomin sent Lu Mingzheng back to the guesthouse, and He Lanfang went to wash the dishes herself.

After going downstairs, Lu Mingzheng held her in his arms and said softly, "It's cold outside, don't send me off. I'll buy a long-distance bus ticket tomorrow morning and then come to see you."

"Well, I'll report and go to the countryside as soon as I get to work." Zhu Xiaomin replied.

Lu Mingzheng smiled: "Why not ask for leave?"

Zhu Xiaomin also laughed and poked his chest: "I'm going back with work, why do I need to ask for leave?"

His chest muscles felt the strength of her fingers, and Lu Mingzheng's heart was pounding. He tightened his arms, hugged her tightly, and wanted to kiss her again.

But at this moment, someone in the building asked, "Who?"

Lu Mingzheng sighed, let him go, and whispered, "I'm leaving first."

"Yeah!" Zhu Xiaomin replied, watching him turn up the collar of his coat, walk out of the building, and quickly disappear into the night.

The person in the building didn't hear a reply, so he asked again. Then a flashlight shone over, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Xiaomin, who are you with?"

It’s Guo Hongtao again!

Zhu Xiaomin didn't want to pay attention to her and said casually, "No one, I'm just cooling off." Then she turned around and went upstairs.

Is it cool in the winter?

Guo Hongtao was puzzled and shone the flashlight on the door.

Just now, she clearly saw a man.

But there was no one at the entrance of the building, and Zhu Xiaomin had already gone upstairs. Guo Hongtao curled her lips and said, "Who is she hooking up with? Are you afraid of being seen?" After saying that, she turned around and went back.

The next day, as soon as Zhu Xiaomin arrived at the unit, she wrote an application to go back to Cijiaokou Commune to inspect the situation of the literacy class.

After the Chinese New Year, the mountains will soon thaw and spring plowing will be done in preparation for afforestation. By that time, the literacy classes will be suspended, so this is the perfect time to go.

Liu Zhuangzhi readily approved it, but said, "It's winter now, and it's the end of the year. The roads may be difficult to travel on, so be careful."
