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

Zhu Xiaomin hummed and said nonchalantly, "It should be supplied specially by the army." Then he took out a smaller paper bag and a letter from it.

I have seen this kind of milk powder in my previous life.

It's supplied exclusively to the army, and you can't get it just by being a soldier.

Miao Shiwen didn't understand, but Jiang Sao knew and nodded: "Ming Zheng is thoughtful."

Miao Shiwen stretched her head to look at the paper bag: "What is this?"

Zhu Xiaomin didn't bother to read the letter, and first opened the paper package, only to see two brand new octagonal military caps. She was surprised and asked, "What are these for?"

Miao Shiwen took it and looked at it, but she didn't understand it either, so she urged her, "Take a look at the letter, what does it say?"

Zhu Xiaomin opened the letter, read it line by line and said, "He said that we can't get a lot of this milk powder all at once, so he sent me a bag first to let the child try it and see if he likes it. He will send me more later when he gets more."

Mrs. Jiang nodded immediately. "I heard that this milk powder is provided on a monthly basis and is only available to groups above the regiment level. When my girl was born, her father also got a few packs. He said that it was given to him by their group leader."

Having said that, I thought of my late husband and felt sad.

Zhu Xiaomin reached out and patted the back of her hand a few times, then continued reading. Suddenly, she chuckled and said, "He said these two hats are for Xiaoyi and Xiaojing. He said that every boy has a dream of becoming a soldier. With these two hats, they can be the envy of all other children of the same age. Don't you think this is ridiculous? All the other children of the same age are wetting the bed at home. Who would watch them? Who would know what a military dream is?"

Miao Shiwen felt childish and said, "No matter what, it's a gift for our son. Just try it on." He took two hats and walked towards the bed.

Zhu Xiaomin also found it interesting and followed her over. They each put a military cap on the two babies.

It was just that the military caps were too big and the two children's heads were too small, so when they put them on, the caps filled up most of the children's heads and reached their noses, which looked incredibly funny.

They both couldn't help laughing out loud, but the two children didn't cry even though they couldn't see anything. They stretched out their little hands to hold up their hats, but their arms were too short to reach them, so they seemed to be saluting instead.

Seeing that the child's nose was stuck in, Mrs. Jiang felt helpless and amused. She hurried over to lift it up and said with a smile, "Mingzheng looks so stable, how can he be so childish?"

Zhu Xiaomin laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She crawled on the bed and shouted "Ouch". After she shouted a few times, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest, followed by a tingling sensation.

For a moment, her body froze and even her laughter stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Jiang asked nervously when she realized something was wrong with her.

Miao Shiwen stopped laughing and asked hurriedly, "Xiaomin, what's wrong?"

He Lanfang also shouted nervously: "Xiaomin!"

Zhu Xiaomin looked up at the three people and murmured, "I...I think my milk is coming in."

"Really?" The three were pleasantly surprised. Two of them immediately helped her up, and one picked up the child, not caring whose son it was, and stuffed it directly into her arms.

This time the milk came down, it was only a little bit at first, but it came in torrents the next day, and was even more abundant than before the weaning stopped.

Miao Shiwen was stunned and said in astonishment: "What is the principle behind this? Is this Lu Mingzheng's funny therapy?"

Zhu Xiaomin laughed, moved her body, and splashed milk all over the child's face.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when Zhu Xiaomin gave birth to her baby. The milk powder was temporarily put aside and will be used as a supplement when the baby is a little older.

New Year's Day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was 1977. Because the previous year was a leap year, the Spring Festival this year was later.

After the mountains froze, although the team had no production tasks, as the number of literacy courses increased and the food factory was still in operation, Xie Chengzhi was still busy until the end of January before he finally got around to it and arrived in the city before a heavy snowfall.

Seeing that he was carrying not only a sack, but also a large bag and a bucket, Zhu Xiaomin was indescribably surprised: "What did you bring all this way?"

Xie Chengzhi pointed at a pile of things on the ground: "The sacks contain potatoes that have just been divided, the bags contain mutton and offal, which were all frozen in the yard before being packed, and the buckets contain live fish. Fortunately, Zhian has been well cared for during this period, and he is still alive and kicking."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "Why didn't Shiwen write to say that I have started to produce milk and don't need to take live fish anymore?"

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "It won't hurt to drink better fish soup."

Miao Shiwen laughed: "He just doesn't want to take it. I'm afraid Zhian and the others won't do it either. He has already taken it. We can continue next time."

Xie Chengzhi smiled at her and nodded: "If I didn't really only have two hands, they would have wanted me to bring dozens of kilograms of eggs, saying that eggs in the city are too expensive and not as fresh as those in our base."

Zhu Xiaomin felt warm in her heart and helped Mrs. Jiang put the things away. Then she asked about the things in the village.

Xie Chengzhi first talked about the results of the treatment of the previous six people: "They only admitted to burglary, not attempted murder. Although we kept a close eye on them, in the end they were only sentenced for burglary with weapons. The two who went in and committed the crime were sentenced to five years, and the other four were sentenced to three years. They were all sent to labor camps."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded slightly: "Did anything else happen later?"

"No!" Xie Chengzhi shook his head and said, "Guo Xingqi and Jiang Xingyu got married. It might be because of Teacher Luo's incident. They also felt the risks outside and finally decided to stay in the educated youth point, in the room next to yours. Fang Qing went to the 12th Brigade, and Wang Liwan went to live with Qi Yishan, so they just vacated the room."

Zhu Xiaomin laughed: "The row of houses in the inner courtyard have all become new houses."

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "There are also Cao Liqing and Bai Zhiru from the Fifth Brigade Primary School. They said they are also going to get married."

Miao Shiwen was surprised: "I haven't heard that they are interesting before."

Xie Chengzhi said: "Both the Fourth and Sixth Brigade sent a male educated youth, who seemed to have a crush on Cao Liqing. There was also the son of the accountant of the Fifth Brigade, who said he had asked a matchmaker several times to find him, or maybe Bai Zhiru was from the same batch, and Cao Liqing trusted him more."

So, in fact, it has nothing to do with love, it’s just a way of keeping each other warm in the form of marriage.

Such situations are common among educated youth across the country.

Miao Shiwen was silent for a moment, nodded slightly, and asked, "Where are the other two people?"

Xie Chengzhi shook his head: "I haven't heard about Shi Meiqin and Zhang Liqun." When he mentioned Shi Meiqin, he thought of another person with a similar name. He looked at Zhu Xiaomin and said, "Oh, Shi Meijun is back."

"What?" Both of them were stunned at the same time.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, she was sentenced to two years. It was just after New Year's Day, so her sentence was completed. Why didn't she return to the city, but returned to the village?"

Xie Chengzhi nodded: "It is said that her documents were originally to be sent back to the city, but her family said she was a disgrace and refused to let her move back. She found a rural office and moved her relationship back to the village."
