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

Miao Shiwen blushed a little, shook her head and said, "Chengzhi said, I will live in this room now, and I don't know how to get married when the time comes, so I will... choose to live next door to you."

That is the first room in the inner courtyard.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, but said helplessly: "That room is not as comfortable as ours, and we don't come back often, so let's change it later."

Miao Shiwen laughed: "You are in charge of the production here, how can you not come back?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "I came back alone, so it doesn't matter where I live." She looked around the house and sighed, "Originally, there were four of us living here. Now that the three of us are gone and you're getting married, this place is empty."

Miao Shiwen nodded and said, "There will be new educated youth coming next year. There are only two empty rooms in the front yard. I don't know if they can be occupied."

If there were as many people coming as this year, there wouldn’t be enough houses.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled at her and said, "Then vacate our room."

Miao Shiwen shook her head, feeling somewhat empty inside. "We are married, so we can actually live separately. But the brigade discussed and said that Chengzhi is in charge of the production team's production work, and the educated youth team is in charge of the orchard and the base. Now we are about to build a factory. If we change people, we are afraid that it will affect production, so we maintain the status quo."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I think so too. Although we educated youth are relatively united, it has always been Chengzhi who communicates with the brigade. It would be inappropriate to change people now."

After talking for a while, he took her and said, "Come on, show me your new house."

Miao Shiwen nodded, and went out with her, entered the inner courtyard, and opened the first room for her to see: "We asked Aunt Huang Liu and others to help sew the bedding. They said they had never seen such a good quilt cover."

The quilt cover they used was made of satin bought by Zhu Xiaomin and sent back in advance.

Zhu Xiaomin saw that two sets of quilts were neatly folded on the kang. The quilt cover was the satin she bought, and the lining was white fine cotton cloth. It was obviously newly bought. She asked, "Where's the cotton?"

Miao Shiwen said: "The cotton was also newly bought. Xudong asked Secretary Yan for the internal price."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, and saw that the edge of the kang was also covered with newspapers. She also took some of the items she had just brought over, nodded with satisfaction, looked around and said, "See if there is anything missing. Let's buy it quickly in the next few days." After saying that, she realized that something was missing, "Chengzhi went to the city to buy a sewing machine, why is it not here?"

Miao Shiwen smiled and pulled her hand out again, returning to the tenth room in the outer courtyard. She pushed the door open and said, "Do some needlework during this time. You can't do it in the new house, so just leave it here for the time being."

Before, when new educated youth came, they all lived in the inner courtyard, so this sewing room remained.

Zhu Xiaomin saw a sewing machine placed next to the kang, and a piece of rabbit skin she was sewing on the kang. She exclaimed, "What are you doing?" She went over to pick it up, shook it out, and said, "The quilt you made for me is really soft and warm."

Miao Shiwen smiled and said, "This is for you too."

Zhu Xiaomin realized that he had a half-finished rabbit fur coat in his hand and was surprised: "Wouldn't it be nice if you made one for your wedding?"

Miao Shiwen smiled and said, "We have carefully selected these rabbit skins. In fact, the ones we used to make your bedding are thinner, and we kept the better ones. It doesn't look good for you to work in the city wearing a patched cotton coat, so we made you a rabbit skin one."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "Lu Mingzheng and I will just ask for a new military coat later."

"Lu Mingzheng is Lu Mingzheng's, and we are ours. The furs I have collected now are enough for me to make another one." Miao Shiwen smiled and added, "Some of the educated youth in the inner courtyard also secretly went up the mountain to catch pheasants and rabbits. We tacitly raised more rabbits in the backyard. Slowly, I will make a fur coat for each of them."

Rabbits reproduce quickly and grow quickly. If you raise them freely, it will not take long to accumulate rabbit skins.

Zhu Xiaomin glanced at her and smiled: "If you had gotten married earlier and asked Chengzhi to buy you a sewing machine earlier, we wouldn't have had to work so hard to make cotton clothes before."

Miao Shiwen laughed: "I was afraid he couldn't afford it at that time."

This sewing machine was also bought with money raised from the educated youth, and was not paid back until the brigade distributed the money.

Zhu Xiaomin knew that these things she made for herself must have been discussed with everyone, so she stopped pushing it and just said, "Next year, make one for Mr. Luo and his son, too."

By October, the movement was declared over, and even though no one thought of Luo Tingyuan yet, no one would bother him anymore.

Miao Shiwen nodded: "Teacher Luo's legs are not in good condition, so I made him a pair of knee braces before. I hope it will be more comfortable."

They just said a few words, but you can tell that Luo Tingyuan looks good.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, feeling much more at ease thinking that this chaos would be over in another nine months.

Speaking of Luo Tingyuan, Miao Shiwen remembered something: "Have you seen the new director of the Revolutionary Committee?"

Zhu Xiaomin was startled: "Is he new?"

It has been a year since Qian Yuanfei was shot, and the director of the Revolutionary Committee of the First Brigade has not yet taken office.

Miao Shiwen nodded: "Well, he came here just a few days after you and Qiaomei left last time. He was sent directly by the county. He used to be the captain of a militia team in Qingwayao Commune. He was promoted, I guess."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "How are the people? Did they have a meeting?"

Miao Shiwen nodded and sighed: "Let someone take Teacher Luo over. Fortunately, it won't be long."

Zhu Xiaomin's heart tightened: "Did he get criticized?"

Miao Shiwen nodded, her eyes somewhat dim: "Stand and listen for a while, call out his name, and ask him to behave himself." Reaching out and grabbing her hand, she whispered, "Xiaomin, it would be fine if we didn't know Teacher Luo, but... he's such a good person, these years are really... really..."

Ever since they arrived here, they knew that the Third Brigade was holding a capitalist-roader. They had not felt anything special in the past, but now, after nearly two years of contact with Luo Tingyuan, they could no longer tolerate the insults he received.

Zhu Xiaomin was also feeling upset. She pursed her lips and asked again, "Did anyone do anything to him?"

Miao Shiwen shook her head: "Originally, several people came over to kidnap him, but Chengzhi and the others stopped them. I went with him, and Luo Ye followed me the whole time."

fine……

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and held her hand. She felt her fingers were cold. After a moment of silence, she said, "Shiwen, believe me, it will be over soon."

Miao Shiwen nodded and sighed, "Teacher Luo seems to be fine. After returning, he just locked himself in the room for one night. The next day, he went to class as usual, but little Luo Ye was scared."

That was the child's nightmare since childhood.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, but she was a little worried: "If there is something serious happening to Teacher Luo while I'm away, remember to send me a telegram and I will come back as soon as possible."

"I know." Miao Shiwen nodded.

Thinking that Zhu Xiaomin is now in charge of the production work of the entire commune and seems to have some say in this regard, I feel a little relieved.
