"Brother Chen, you're doing great. You've found a girlfriend here. If our mission fails, you can just quit and stay here with your girlfriend. As for me, I'll have to go back to my hometown alone."

"It's not that simple. You think you can just be discharged after failing a mission? You're lucky if they don't label you an enemy agent. You think you can just retire and go home easily? It's a gamble. If you win, you'll get a promotion and a reward; if you lose, you'll have to bear the consequences."

Zhao Jun sighed: "Brother Chen, we're unlucky to have been sent here."

"Let's stop talking nonsense and just take it one step at a time."

After they left, Luo Jingyan closed the door, drew the curtains, and went into the space.

She takes a lunch break almost every day, so no one suspects anything.

Luo Jingyan entered the space and took out five catties of wild boar meat that she had killed earlier, and made it into cured meat.

She has a sausage stuffer in her space, and she wants to make some sausages. She cuts pork into strips about the thickness of chopsticks in a 2:8 ratio of fat to lean meat, mixes them together, and marinates them with appropriate amounts of salt, sugar, MSG, cooking wine, and white wine. She washes the soaked sausage casings clean, uses the sausage stuffer to fill the casings with the meat, ties them with string, and hangs them up to air dry.

She made another ten pounds of sausages. There was also a wild boar in the room that hadn't been killed yet. She would deal with it slowly when she had time.

In the girls' dormitory, the female educated youths began to talk about Song Yinglan.

Du Yinan said, "Song Zhiqing runs away every few days. Do you know what she's doing?"

Several people shook their heads. Sun Tiantian said, "She used to always go out early in the morning saying she was going for a run. She said that she had relatives visiting other brigades in this commune."

"Why is she dressed up so nicely when she visits relatives? Look at her, using face cream and clam oil. Look at you, would you be willing to spend that much?"

“We can’t bear to part with it, we don’t have any money, how can we compare to you?” Jiang Manyue retorted sarcastically.

Shen Ruyi said, "Perhaps Yinglan's boyfriend is here. Shouldn't you dress up nicely when meeting your boyfriend?"

In fact, she knew in her heart that Song Yinglan was no good, but she couldn't say it in front of the other educated youth, especially someone like Du Yinan. If she found out, she would definitely spread it and embarrass the educated youth.

Du Yinan said, "When she comes back, let's ask her if she went to see her boyfriend, and ask her to give us wedding candy."

In the evening, Song Yinglan returned, enduring the pain and trying her best to maintain a normal walking posture.

When Du Yinan asked her if she was going to see her boyfriend, she nodded in agreement.

"Song Zhiqing, we want to eat wedding candy."

"Don't worry, you'll get to eat it eventually."

The next morning, after breakfast, Luo Jingyan took out the snacks that Xue Yanchen had bought the day before and asked Luo Changtian to take some with him.

Luo Changtian asked, "Sister, when did you go to the county town to buy it?"

“I didn’t buy it, Brother Xue bought it. You came back too late yesterday, and it’s not good for your health to eat snacks at night, so I didn’t let you eat any.”

"Sister, Brother Xue is so kind."

"Mm." Luo Jingyan nodded.

Qin Zhenzhen was carrying a bag. "Cousin, you want to wear a sweater. How can a grown man knit a sweater? Let me knit one for you. My knitted sweaters are really pretty. My dad, my mom, and my grandma all like them."

"No need." Xue Yanchen took the bag. "These yarns were bought by someone else, not for my own use."

"Then you don't need a sweater?"

"I have it." It will be available soon.

He didn't have enough yarn, so he went to another person and bought two more colors of yarn from that person.

When he handed the yarn to Luo Jingyan, she couldn't help but be surprised.

Xue Yanchen brought a huge pile of yarn, in three colors, including dark red. Isn't dark red a color only girls wear? Could it be that he also wants to wear red and has completely become feminized?

Xue Yanchen noticed the strange expression on her face and asked her, "Don't you like red? I thought all girls liked this color."

"Huh?" Luo Jingyan was shocked and bewildered.

It turns out that he bought these red yarns for her.

"Brother Xue, why did you buy me yarn?"

"It's getting cold, you need to wear a sweater too, not just yours, but also Changtian's."

Luo Jingyan felt even more unworthy of the gift, "Brother Xue, you've gone to so much trouble."

"What's the big deal? I need you to knit me a sweater; that's something money can't buy."

Luo Jingyan knew that since he had already spent the money, it was impossible for her to repay him with money.

She wanted to repay Xue Yanchen for what he had done for her, but she never expected that she would owe him more and more.

"Brother Xue, let me take your measurements."

"good."

He was wearing a thin coat, and to accurately measure his body size, he would have to take it off.

"Brother Xue, please take off your thin coat first, otherwise the measurement won't be accurate."

"OK."

Xue Yanchen stood up, unbuttoned his shirt, and took off Bo'ao.

He was wearing only a white polyester shirt underneath, and his well-developed and full muscles were faintly visible beneath the thin fabric.

Luo Jingyan couldn't help but swallow hard when she recalled the first time she saw him in Beijing.

Xue Yanchen stood ramrod straight, which reminded Luo Jingyan of a certain profession, and at the same time, eight words flashed through her mind: "Shouldering justice, protecting the country."

Was Brother Xue a soldier before?

Luo Jingyan's thoughts returned to her. She still needed to measure Xue Yanchen's dimensions, but she didn't have a ruler.
