Chapter 041

Miao Shiwen sat up again. She stared at Zhang Qiaomei closely in the darkness. After a while, she slowly said: "Qiaomei, why do I feel that you are different from before in the past few months?"

"What?" Zhang Qiaomei's heart beat suddenly.

Miao Shiwen said: "Before, whether Nie Yifei falsely accused him of banning books, or whether he broke up with Xiaomin and asked for money, you could still say some fair words. Now it's not us who are asking Lu Mingzheng, it's you." You keep helping Nie Yifei, what happened?"

"What happened? I just... I just feel that in the past few months, everyone has been ostracizing Nie Yifei." Zhang Qiaomei's voice rose unconsciously.

In the darkness, Zhu Xiaomin and Miao Shiwen were lying on one side and sitting on the other, looking at each other silently. Because of the light coming from the window, they could vaguely see the worry in each other's eyes.

After a while, Zhu Xiaomin sighed and said seriously: "Qiaomei, listen to my advice. I broke up with him not out of anger, but because he has a problem with his character. You... better stay away from him."

"You still said you didn't exclude him?" Zhang Qiaomei asked.

Zhu Xiaomin shook his head on the pillow: "In the past few months, it's not that everyone has been ostracizing him, it's just that he has something in his heart and always goes against everyone."

Zhang Qiaomei asked: "What's going on in his heart?"

"I'll just tell you, he plotted against Lu Mingzheng more than once for the return target. When the plot failed, he asked Lu Mingzheng to help him." Zhu Xiaomin said.

Zhang Qiaomei sat up with a sigh and leaned over to stare at her: "More than once? Which other time, if you tell me, what evidence do you have?"

Zhu Xiaomin was silent for a while, and finally shook his head: "I can't provide any evidence, but it is true. You can believe it if you want. If you don't believe it... I can't help it."

In this day and age, no matter whether she cares about it or not, a woman's reputation is enough to destroy a person. What's more, once the story about the ranger's cabin is revealed, it will destroy not only her, but also Lu Mingzheng.

Zhang Qiaomei thought she couldn't make it up, so she sneered, lay back again, and said in a low voice: "No wonder." After saying that, she turned over and turned her back to Zhu Xiaomin.

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "What's the wonder?"

But she asked twice in a row, but Zhang Qiaomei said no more.

Miao Shiwen pushed her, shook her head slightly, indicating that she didn't need to ask anymore, and lay back down.

Early the next morning, Lu Mingzheng got up with everyone, had breakfast at the educated youth point, picked up the luggage borrowed from the brigade headquarters, and went out with everyone. After returning the luggage, he said hello to everyone and was about to return to the county. Go inside.

Xie Chengzhi and Song Zhian sent them out. Lu Mingzheng turned around halfway and called out Zhu Xiaomin. Seeing her turn around, he said loudly: "Think about what I told you yesterday." After saying that, without waiting for her answer, He turned around and strode away.

Zhu Xiaomin was petrified. It was not until Miao Shiwen pushed her that she came back to her senses. When she heard her question, she could only answer vaguely: "It's... it's about writing materials. I... how can I do it?" After that, Pretending to be in a hurry, he hurried into the office.

Holding his head in his hands, he suppressed his fast beating heart for a while, reached out and slapped the table several times, and cursed: "Lu Mingzheng, you bastard, bastard, bastard, big bastard."

Just as I was cursing, Huang Xiaojuan came in and asked strangely: "Xiaomin, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Xiaomin was startled and said hurriedly: "No, it's nothing..." and got busy to help Xia Chunhua.

Ten days later, a document was sent from the county to the town, then from the town to the township, and then to the village, directly to Gu Mancang's hands.

Gu Mancang opened it and jumped up excitedly: "It's approved, it's really approved." After saying that, he rushed out and came to find Zhu Xiaomin.

When Zhu Xiaomin took it over and took a look, her eyes lit up with excitement and she kept saying, "That's great, great. We'll finish the infrastructure in the summer, and we can start working on it in the fall."

Gu Mancang nodded repeatedly and sighed: "If Lu Zhiqing hadn't come over, we wouldn't have been able to do anything about this."

Zhu Xiaomin also nodded: "Yes, yes, yes!" He was about to take Gu Mancang to see the salty land, where he planned to build sheep pens and chicken coops.

Gu Mancang waved his hand quickly and handed her another letter: "This is a letter written by Lu Zhiqing. He said that next month he will bring several professional talents to help us plan."

"Really?" Zhu Xiaomin was surprised. She took the letter in his hand and saw Gu Mancang's name written on the letterhead. In a few sentences, it was about this matter. Looking at the envelope, it was also Gu Mancang's name. There was no address or stamps, so it was obviously sent by someone else.

Despite Lu Mingzheng's letter, the educated youths who knew the news were still indescribably excited. When they took a break, they ran together to the salt-alkali land over there, looked at the terrain there, and came back to have a lively discussion.

Amidst everyone's excitement, only Nie Yifei was indescribably angry, and quietly sent an anonymous report material to the county.

Not long after, an inspection team from the county came to inquire about the matter. When Gu Mancang took out the document issued by the county, he shook his head with a stern face: "Since it was discussed and approved by the county's agricultural department and the document was issued, why is there anyone there? Reporting? Isn’t this holding back socialism?”

Gu Mancang looked helpless: "This work hasn't started yet. We really didn't expect such a thing to happen." In other words, we can only send people away after having a meal at the brigade headquarters.

Zhu Xiaomin had already heard it in her office and was already furious.

Because the work has not yet started, this matter has not been announced to the entire commune. Except for a few people in the brigade headquarters, the only people who know about it are the educated youth. Just thinking about it, Zhu Xiaomin also guessed who it was. It was just the inspection team. He didn't produce the report letter, and there was no evidence. He just quietly communicated with Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen.

A few days later, I received a letter from Lu Mingzheng, saying that he would bring someone over at the end of the month so that the brigade headquarters could prepare for the reception.

This time, it was specifically for the forest farm to carry out sideline work. Naturally, according to the normal work process, people could not be placed in the educated youth point. Gu Mancang immediately picked a room in the brigade headquarters to make room for those few people.

Lu Mingzheng hadn't arrived yet, but the educated youth who were newly sent to the countryside this year arrived first.

Seeing the five men and two women who followed Gu Mancang into the yard, the nerves in Zhu Xiaomin's temples twitched twice.

After you were reborn, why did you forget these people?

Strictly speaking, I have forgotten a few of them.

Or maybe it was because in the previous life, when these people came, she and Lu Mingzheng were already married and were entangled in endless suspicion and torture, so she didn't pay much attention to these people.

However, many years after leaving here, these people have even closer ties with her than Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen.

But in the year since she came back, she has never thought of them.
