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

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it for a moment, took out the telegram from his pocket and gave it to her, then slowly said, "If my guess is correct, he will come to my workplace to look for me tomorrow. If you can resist not telling him my address, you don't have to go with me. If you can't resist, you can go to the research institute with me."

He Lanfang was surprised: "You don't want your brother to know that you live here?"

"Yeah!" Zhu Xiaomin nodded, thinking about what happened that day, he frowned again, "There may be two people coming, which is more difficult to deal with."

He Lanfang shrank her neck: "I...I'd better follow you."

Zhu Xiaomin couldn't help laughing and nodded.

Mrs. Jiang has been here for more than half a year, but she has never heard her talk about her family. She probably guessed what was going on, so she didn't ask. She just said, "If you hide tomorrow, there is still the day after tomorrow. You can't stay away from work forever."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "I just don't want them to have it too easy."

Mrs. Jiang asked, "Except Xiao He, does anyone in your unit know about this place?"

Zhu Xiaomin thought about it and then looked at He Lanfang.

He Lanfang said uncertainly: "Probably... not?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded: "I won't go out tomorrow."

Zhu Xiaomin was helpless: "You should go out anyway, they don't know you."

Mrs. Jiang agreed.

Early the next morning, Zhu Xiaomin and He Lanfang went to the Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Research Institute. Meng Zihao came out and asked in surprise: "Is there something wrong with the corn experimental field?"

Now that cornfield was the number one concern on his mind.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and shook his head: "No, we are going out to do errands today, near here. Come and sit, and ask if there are any other good seeds we can use there."

This Agricultural and Animal Husbandry Research Institute is not in the city, and it takes two buses to get to the administrative office compound. What business can be done here?

Meng Zihao felt that she came just for the seeds, and sighed in his heart that it was a blessing for Cijiaokou Commune to meet such a responsible comrade as her.

I took the two of them in and went to visit their experimental field.

Although it is in the suburbs, the land area is limited. There are not many experimental fields for each crop, but the varieties are very complete.

Although Zhu Xiaomin is a girl who grew up in the city, she has often worried about food for so many years in the village. She has developed a natural love for crops. She feels indescribable joy when looking at the obviously plump and huge fruits in the experimental field, and keeps asking conditions of various crops.

Meng Zihao said: "Right now, these crops are still in the research stage. When the situation here stabilizes, we will also seek cooperation with villages to conduct field planting experiments. If successful, we can gradually promote them."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded repeatedly: "If our team succeeds in planting corn this year, and we will do experimental fields for field planting in the future, it will be easy to do the work."

I knew you were planning on these seeds.

Meng Zihao smiled.

After visiting the experimental field, Zhu Xiaomin talked about the situation of the corn experimental field before leaving the village. He also asked about the time to go to the countryside to harvest corn. Fearing that it would affect his work too much, he went out with He Lanfang.

It was already noon when they returned to the city. They found a state-owned restaurant to eat. Remembering the cloth they had not bought that day, Zhu Xiaomin took He Lanfang to the Hongqi Department Store, bought the two types of cloth, and bought some washed cotton cloth for her son and Xie Jing. They also bought some delicious food on the way and then slowly walked home.

When they went upstairs, they didn't hear any movement in the corridor. The two of them opened the door and asked Mrs. Jiang, "Isn't anyone coming?"

Mrs. Jiang shook her head: "I took Xiaoyi to the yard to play for a long time this morning. I came back at noon and didn't go out again. I didn't see anyone."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and didn't take it to heart. She smiled at He Lanfang and said, "You don't have to go back tonight. We'll make pork rib soup." She put away the cloth and went to make the soup herself.

Lu Yi was picked up by He Lanfang, and Mrs. Jiang came out to help. Seeing that she bought a lot of vegetables, she said helplessly: "I can buy them at the morning market tomorrow."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "It won't go bad if you leave it overnight. Besides, I see some vegetables are not available in our morning market."

Mrs. Jiang looked through the net bags, nodded, and finally couldn't help asking, "What if they come to work tomorrow? Ming Zheng won't be here either."

Zhu Xiaomin thought for a moment and shook her head: "I can't not go to work either, but if they go, I probably won't be back at noon tomorrow. I'll stew the ribs today, and you can just heat them up and stir-fry some vegetables tomorrow."

Mrs. Jiang was helpless: "You don't have to worry about me." Looking at her, she felt distressed again and whispered, "That's what being a military wife is like. Men can't count on it. I was lucky enough to have my mother's family in those years, and my husband's family was also kind to me. You This..." He shook his head slightly.

My husband's family is not here, so my mother's family is obviously unreliable.

Zhu Xiaomin didn't think it was a big deal: "When I got married to him, I knew that we would be in two places for a long time, whether it was my husband's family or my mother's family. It's better to rely on others than on myself."

Mrs. Jiang sighed: "Although you have a good job, you still have to be useful."

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "Mrs. Jiang, they can't do anything to me."

Mrs. Jiang was still worried, but she could only nod.

The next day, Zhu Xiaomin and He Lanfang went to work as usual. As soon as they entered the office, they heard Jiao Xianglan say: "Xiao Zhu, two people came to you yesterday, saying they were your brother and your sister-in-law."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "When did they come? Did they say where they lived?"

Jiao Xianglan shook her head: "They came when they were about to get off work at noon. They heard that you were not here and asked where you lived. We didn't know, so they left without saying where you lived."

Zhu Xiaomin said "Oh", "Or maybe he was just passing by Pingcheng, it shouldn't be a big deal." Ending the topic, he sat down and saw the materials sent by Cijiaokou Commune, so he opened them and started working.

I hadn't read a few lines when Guo Hongtao came over. Seeing Zhu Xiaomin, she asked in surprise, "Xiaomin, where did you go yesterday? And Xiao He didn't come back to the dormitory at night."

Zhu Xiaomin asked: "What's the matter?"

"Of course." Guo Hongtao said matter-of-factly, "Yesterday your brother and your sister-in-law came here, but they couldn't find you. I told them that Xiao He knew where your home was and told them about the dormitory. But they didn't wait at noon, and when they came in the evening, they couldn't find you. If you don’t wait, where have you been?”

Fortunately she didn't come back.

He Lanfang shrank her neck.

Zhu Xiaomin looked calm: "Well, Xiao He will go with me to do some errands. If he's late, he'll stay at my house."

"I said Xiaomin, you have to tell us where you live. If something like this happens again in the future, someone might as well lead the way. Otherwise, wouldn't this be a mistake?" Guo Hongtao began to preach.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled: "It's probably not a big deal, it doesn't matter. Besides, I don't have many relatives."

Seeing that she still had no intention of telling him her home address, Guo Hongtao couldn't help but frowned: "I heard from your sister-in-law that they came all the way from Hedong City to see you. How come you didn't tell your family where you live? This is outrageous."
