"Matching? I'm afraid it won't be that easy to get another male. No rush, I'll look around later and see who has a lot of rabbits, I can buy a male one."

"Let me see if I can catch another one."

"You're going back to your unit anyway, don't bother with all that."

"It's no trouble at all."

Gu Mingzhou, who was behind him, only heard Lu Zhengting say that he wanted to pair up with someone. He thought to himself that Lu Zhengting was shameless and a scoundrel, actually saying such things to a young girl.

He immediately walked over, his face stern, and said to Lu Zhengting, "Old Lu, who do you want to be paired with? You're a grown man, saying all sorts of things. Can you say you're not deliberately being a scoundrel?"

After he finished speaking, Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan were both stunned.

Lu Zhengting was speechless: "Comrade Gu, why are you everywhere I go? When I'm talking to Comrade Lin, can you please stop following me and interrupting me?"

"No way! I just heard you talking about pairing up. How could you say something like that in front of a young girl? Aren't you ashamed? You're being a pervert in broad daylight. If the police were here, they would definitely arrest you. Luckily, I was the only one who heard it. You old pervert, you should stay far away from Comrade Lin and not ruin her life."

After speaking of Lu Zhengting, he turned to Lin Qingyan and said, "Comrade Lin, am I right? This Comrade Lu is a scoundrel. You must stay far away from him, or you'll get yourself into trouble."

Lin Qingyan pursed her lips. Although she found Gu Mingzhou annoying, she couldn't help but want to laugh.

"Comrade Gu Mingzhou, you didn't understand what we said at all. We said we were pairing up rabbits. What did you hear?"

"What?" This time it was Gu Mingzhou's turn to be stunned, then he said "Oh," as if he understood, "I know, it's Comrade Lu who wants to pair up this rabbit."

He already understood what Lu Zhengting and Lin Qingyan were talking about, but he just wanted to annoy Lu Zhengting.

“You’re the one who should be pairing up rabbits, not pigs and turtles,” Lu Zhengting retorted.

After receiving the money, Lin Sisi saw Gu Mingzhou standing close to Lin Qingyan and quickly called out to him.

"Brother Mingzhou, what are you doing here? Come here quickly, I have something to ask you."

Gu Mingzhou hesitated for a moment, and Lu Zhengting said, "Comrade Gu, are you not leaving because you're in a hurry to find a match for this rabbit?"

"I'm not worthy, you're the one who deserves it." After saying that, he went to find Lin Sisi.

Once the issues concerning the educated youth were completely resolved, Lu Zhengting had no reason to stay any longer, so he left the educated youth settlement with the brigade leader.

The educated youth finally got their money back and could finally sleep peacefully.

The next day, before dawn, Lu Zhengting had already gotten up and gone up the mountain.

He was probably just unlucky today; he wandered around the mountain all morning without seeing a single rabbit, let alone the male rabbit he was specifically looking for.

The sun was already high in the sky; if we couldn't find a match today, we'd have to come back another time.

The captain went to the county police station early in the morning, and the police immediately sent people over to arrest Erlaizi and Song Qingfang.

As Lu Zhengting came down from the mountain, Li's mother was taking advantage of her break from work to prepare things for him to take back to the army. She made chili sauce, fried pancakes, and anything else the family could afford. The Li family was very generous to Lu Zhengting.

Even Li Fang was a little envious of Lu Zhengting. He often wanted to eat fried dough cakes, but his mother was reluctant to make them for him.

Lu Zhengting exchanged a few words with Li Fang when suddenly a postman at the door called out, "Lu Zhengting, there's a telegram for you."

Lu Zhengting quickly went outside, the postman handed him the telegram, and then rode away on his bicycle.

Lu Zhengting opened the telegram and found that it was sent from the military region. It did not explain the specific reason, but only told him to go to the post office to make a phone call to the military region.

Lu Zhengting understood that the military region must have something important to discuss with him, but it was inconvenient to write it in the telegram, so they asked him to call the military region to avoid the leakage of military secrets.

After he finished eating and said goodbye to the Li family, he prepared to go to the county town.

During the autumn harvest, oxen are always pulling crops in the fields, so it's impossible to take an oxcart to the county town now. Fortunately, the brigade leader's family has a bicycle, so he can ride it there.

Unexpectedly, he had just set off on his bicycle when he ran into Gu Mingzhou.

He immediately realized something: could this guy also be going to the county town, with the same purpose as him?

Immediately, he saw Gu Mingzhou wave to him and quickly come to his side.

"Old Lu, where are you going on your bike?"

Lu Zhengting stopped the car and told him, "I'm going to the county post office to make a phone call."

Gu Mingzhou was a little unhappy: "You're going to the county town too? I'm also going to the county town on business. The brigade's oxcart is full, so I can't take it. I heard that the brigade leader has a bicycle, so I was thinking of coming to pick it up and take it to the county town. I didn't expect you to be going too."

Is Lu Zhengting going to call the military region too?

“Yes.” Lu Zhengting raised an eyebrow. “In terms of first come, first served, I rode this bike first. In terms of kinship, this is my uncle’s bike, so I should ride it first. Therefore, this bike is mine. Go find another bike.”

"But I don't know who has any left, and besides, people might not lend them to me."

He glanced at the bike again and said reluctantly, "How about this, we ride one bike together. I'll ride, and you can sit on it, okay?"

Lu Zhengting didn't want to ride in the car at all; sitting in the back wasn't as comfortable as riding in the front.

"Fine, you sit in the back, I'll ride."

Gu Mingzhou didn't really want to sit in the back, but he had no other choice, so he just made do and sat down.

So, a scene appeared on the village road where one big man was carrying another big man on a bicycle. Many people working in the fields saw it, including the elderly but still sharp-eyed Mrs. Li.

Grandma Li saw her grandson riding a bicycle with another man from afar, which frightened her so much that her legs went weak and she almost collapsed in the soybean field.

Good heavens! She had suspected before that her grandson's refusal to find a wife was because he preferred men, and now this is the solid proof.

He really likes men!

Why do you have to like a man? Isn't Qingyan a good girl?

For a moment, the old lady felt as if a million alpacas were galloping through her mind; she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Her mistress likes men, but how can men carry on her family line? The mistress won't even be able to have children in the future.

Lu Zhengting and Gu Mingzhou arrived in the county town and went to the post office together.

There was only one telephone between them, and after they finished making their calls, they learned that it was their superior's superior who had specifically assigned them to work together on a task after learning that they had both come to visit relatives.

Lu Zhengting had never worked with Gu Mingzhou before, and only knew that the man had a bad reputation. He didn't really want to work with Gu Mingzhou, but his superiors had given him the order, so he had no choice but to obey and carry it out.
