Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

The tenth day——

Li Muhua and Zhou Ru carried their luggage and boarded the train by themselves without asking their families to see them off.

There were three full suitcases, more than one of which was filled with food, books and other sundries for Hu Lai and the others. Li Muhua also bought some wedding candies to celebrate his engagement to Zhou Ru.

Sitting on the train, the two of them snuggled up and watched the scenery passing by outside the window.

"Muhua, how many years do you think it will take for us to stop traveling back and forth between two places, live in the city with our parents, and live our own lives steadily?"

Seeing Zhou Ru's expectant eyes, Li Muhua said slowly: "It will probably take another four years!"

This year is 74, and four years later it will be 4. By then they will naturally be able to return to the city.

Zhou Ru was a little surprised after hearing this and asked, "Have you decided to go back to the city?"

Seeing that she was asking about this matter, Li Muhua naturally couldn't tell the truth, so she nodded and said, "I have an agreement with the leaders of the Revolutionary Committee that I can return to the city after four years."

"Oh!"

Zhou Ru was a little disappointed after hearing this, and asked again: "It will take another four years before we can return to the city, but we are going to get married soon, can't we do it earlier?"

Thinking back to when he went to work in the countryside and the Revolutionary Committee gave his family "special care", Li Muhua guessed that someone above was keeping an eye on his family.

He shook his head and said, "No, you know about my appearance in the newspaper."

"So naturally I have to support all his calls. Besides, I don't want to use his name to avoid these trivial matters."

Zhou Ru didn't believe it. Even if they supported his call and went to the countryside for two years, they could be transferred back according to the policy.

Seeing that Zhou Ru still looked unhappy, Li Muhua hugged her and said, "A year and a half has passed. There are only four years left. With me by your side, time will pass quickly!"

Zhou Ru looked at Li Muhua with a dazed look in her eyes.

She said softly, "You just know how to coax me with words. Four years is four years. I'll listen to you, okay?"

As the sun sets and rises, the scenery outside the window changes from snowy fields to green fields.

The next morning, the two walked out of the train station and took a ox cart back to Xiaowang Village.

After returning to the educated youth center, everyone helped to carry the luggage into the hall. This time, even the greediest Hu Lai did not rush to look for food in the luggage, but looked at Li Muhua and Zhou Ru without blinking.

The four of them didn't say a word, but just by looking at their expressions, Li Muhua knew what they wanted to ask.

Smiling, he took out a candy from his suitcase, opened it and said, "This time, Comrade Zhou Ru and I went back to meet each other's parents first. We were both very satisfied, and we successfully got engaged on the sixth day of the New Year."

"From now on, we will be an engaged couple."

"We have completed the two tasks assigned by the organization. This wedding candy is the spoils of war. Let's taste it. Let's taste it all!"

Li Muhua handed the candies to the four people and also gave some to Zhou Ru.

"Okay, we're getting to eat the wedding candy. The task was completed well, and we deserve praise!" Dong Shuwan was the first to shout happily.

The other three also had happy looks on their faces, very happy that the two had successfully established a relationship.

Hu Lai took the wedding candy, quickly peeled it open and stuffed it into his mouth, then asked: "We have eaten the wedding candy, so when are you going to ask Captain Ma to get a certificate, get a marriage certificate, and then treat us to a wedding banquet?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him again, Li Muhua said, "In the second half of the year!"

"Don't worry, you won't be able to escape this meal."

"what!"

Hu Lai shouted reluctantly: "Why do we have to wait until the second half of the year?"

Seeing that Hu Lai not only did not congratulate but also dared to complain, Dong Shuwan glared at him and said, "Good things are never too late. What do you know about such an important matter as marriage?"

Dong Shuwan looked at Li Muhua and asked, "You must have chosen an auspicious day to get your marriage certificate, right? Tell us which day it is!"

Li Muhua and Zhou Ru looked at each other, and it was Li Muhua who said, "Nowadays, there are no shamans or witches in the city, so we didn't hire anyone to pick the date."

"The family hasn't set a date, so let us do it on our own!"

"That's it-"

Dong Shuwan heard that the two had not yet decided on a date to get their marriage certificate, so she enthusiastically suggested to Zhou Ru, "Since it's set for the second half of the year, how about the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

"Mid-Autumn Festival is definitely a good day, and there is also Chinese Valentine's Day, which has a good meaning, and National Day is also good. There is no better day than these!"

Zhou Ru did not answer, but looked at Li Muhua and asked: "Muhua, what day do you think is good?"

Li Muhua shook her head at her, then looked at Dong Shuwan and said, "I'm right when I say you're stupid. What do you know?"

"We can't get married on a holiday, nor on Saturday or Sunday. We have to pick an ordinary day. Because of our marriage, this ordinary day will become extraordinary. In the future, our family will have one more holiday than other families."

When Dong Shuwan heard Li Muhua call her stupid, she was still a little unconvinced and raised her eyebrows. But after listening to what Li Muhua said, she laughed heartily again, patted Li Muhua's chest and said:

"Okay, you can even say this in so many different ways. You're really good at making people happy."

"Fortunately you are kind-hearted and not the type who flirts with women. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to leave Zhou Ru to you."

"Ho~"

Hearing that she meant that he was an honest man, Li Muhua patted his chest in disgust, as if his clothes were no longer clean after being hit by her.

He said with disdain, "Who are you? My mother-in-law trusted me with Zhou Ru, but you are still worried."

"you--"

Dong Shuwan had just opened her mouth when she saw the two of them were about to start arguing again. Zhou Ru quickly pulled her to the suitcase and started looking for the things she had brought for her.

Dong Shuwan, who was held back by Zhou Ru, was still somewhat dissatisfied and glared at Li Muhua fiercely.

Relying on someone's protection, Li Muhua looked at her with pride and even made faces at her.

Dong Shuwan knew Li Muhua's character and simply stopped looking at him.

After the fifteenth day, as soon as the New Year was over, Xiaowang Village instantly came back to life.

The team members threw themselves into the busy production team work, working in the fields during the day and evaluating work points in the team headquarters at night. After evaluating the work points, the six of them were also responsible for reading the daily newspaper to the villagers and conveying the ideas from above.

But that day Li Muhua took the newspaper from Ma Decai.

"Dare to break completely with old traditional ideas"

The title was not strange, but Li Muhua looked up with some confusion after scanning the content.

This content really shouldn't be read out.

After hesitating for a moment, Li Muhua looked at Ma Decai and asked, "Captain Ma, the spirit of this time is mainly to be conveyed to the educated youth, so there is no need to waste time here. Can you read it to everyone?"

Seeing that Li Muhua didn't want to read the newspaper, Ma Decai smiled with his big yellow teeth.

He shook his head and said, "Comrade Mu Hua, I have to criticize you for this idea."

"The leaders of the Youth League Office and the commune have repeatedly told me to lead my team members to learn from you, the educated youth comrades. Now that you educated youth are learning this spirit, then we should learn it even more!"

"But..." Li Muhua opened her mouth and wanted to argue.

Ma Decai waved his hand while holding his bamboo pipe and said, "Besides, learning spirit is so important. How come you say it's a waste of time?"

The hat was put on Li Muhua's head in the blink of an eye, but Ma Decai did not delve into the matter. He urged: "Read it, let us all listen to what the higher-ups have conveyed to you educated youth comrades this time!"

After hearing the argument between Li Muhua and Ma Decai, the other five people realized that something was wrong and walked forward to take the newspaper from Li Muhua's hand.

Li Muhua's eyes were slightly cold as he looked at Ma Decai, then at the four of them.
