When Song Yan woke up, she saw Wei Aiguo staring at her. "Weren't you asleep?"

"I went to sleep. But I woke up very early. I want to see you! I want to see you every day!" Wei Aiguo said earnestly.

"You're not planning to get a divorce?" Song Yan asked.

"As long as you don't dislike me, I never want to get a divorce in this lifetime." Wei Aiguo couldn't help but hug Song Yan tightly.

Song Yan patted Wei Aiguo's head, then pushed him away. Song Yan shrank further into the blankets; she wanted to stay in bed a little longer. "Sigh! I don't want to change men either, it's too much trouble."

Wei Aiguo muttered as he went to heat the kang (a traditional heated brick bed), "Then I'll never do anything troublesome again."

…

Aunt Wei breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the couple had made up. Thank goodness!

Jiang Xiaoxiao and Chang Xiaohu also had smiles on their faces...

The Lunar New Year is approaching, and this is the last pig slaughter of the year for the brigade.

Song Yan went to join in the fun this time.

The brigade distributed meat, and every family had some to eat. Unlike before, when people were worried about their work points, everyone was beaming with happiness. After the New Year, these college students would probably go back to school. Therefore, the brigade members and the educated youth like Song Yan, Jiang Xiaoxiao, and Li Yuanzhao greeted each other especially warmly.

They also said they would take more photos and bring them back so everyone could see what the outside world looked like.

Some people also asked if Li Yuanzhao was coming back.

People like Fang Jinghua, Gao Weijie, Pan Bo, and Shen Hanyang have already gone home and it's unlikely they'll return. Li Yuanzhao is gone; she has no more attachments here.

Li Yuanzhao: "Of course I'll come back. Isn't Cheng Wenkai in the county town? I've already gone back to the county town, why don't I come back to visit? I'll definitely miss you guys after I leave."

“That’s right, that’s right. Although there are no famous mountains and rivers here, it’s still a beautiful place, isn’t it?” Sister-in-law Cheng said.

Wang Wenjuan: "See this? There's another one who's pretentious."

Everyone was laughing and joking.

This year, Li Yuanzhao and the other educated youth were given the first pick of meat. Next year, even if we let them come, they won't come.

Su Cuihua didn't come over from afar. She was burning with jealousy.
