Lian Xiaomin heard Xie Ling say firmly that she would not go to see the young man from the county town.

Even if her family doesn't agree with her choosing an educated youth, then let it be for now and she won't look for anyone else.

"You are really good. You still have to eat when you need to."

I've been sitting in her house for an hour and I have to go back.

Xiao Lingzi sent her out, washed her face, and went back to the room to continue sleeping.

Lian Xiaomin walked on the snow under the moonlight, and her feet made a crackling sound.

It was white all around, and I was breathing the cool air, feeling quite comfortable.

As a modern person, she is so lucky to have the space to choose her own life and to pursue her career freely.

But most ordinary people, like Xiao Lingzi, are indeed helpless.

Lian Xiaomin was enjoying the moon and the snow scenery, and she was not walking fast. When she arrived at the Youth League Home, she would be home soon.

Suddenly, she saw a figure smoking against a bare tree at the gate of the Youth League Home.

Sparks flickered, and when I got closer, I saw that it was Lin Youshu.

"Hey, Lin Zhiqing hasn't rested yet in the evening. Is he out enjoying the snow scenery?"

Lin Youshu smiled and said, "Master Lian, I know that Shi Weihong and the other two must have told you everything about me."

"I heard it when you were leaving. Didn't you go to see Xiao Lingzi? Is she... okay..."

Ouch, Lian Xiaomin is so jealous, really.

I got goosebumps all over my body, this sour smell of love.

"Xie Ling is fine, she's just bored in the room, looking a little listless."

"oh……"

The two of them fell into a brief silence, which was a little awkward.

"Lin Zhiqing, what do you think? What will you do if her family disagrees with you two?"

"...Also, will you return to your hometown in Shandong in the future? Or do you plan to take root in our black soil in Northeast China?"

Lian Xiaomin thought about it, but still couldn't help but asked a soul-searching question.

People of this era are very conservative and reserved. If she didn't ask so directly, the other party would not be able to easily say such a thing.

As a good friend, just ask.

Lin Youshu threw the cigarette butt onto the snow and it went out immediately.

He looked up at the night sky and sighed.

"Master Lian, you don't know my family's situation. My parents died when I was fourteen."

"My two older brothers were already married and had taken over my parents' jobs. They had salaries, but no one cared about me."

"…It was my elder sister who supported me and paid for my education despite the pressure from my husband's family. When I was in the second year of high school, a one-size-fits-all policy was implemented, requiring everyone to go to the countryside to work as a sent-down youth. I ended up in Sandagou."

"…Why would I go back to my hometown in Shandong? I have no home for a long time. Besides, my sister can't find me a job and transfer me back to the city. It's not easy for her. I can't drag her down anymore. It's good to stay in Sandagou."

So that's how it is. Even Xiaomin felt a little sad for him. It's not easy.

Lin Youshu continued, "It is my blessing that Xiao Lingzi likes me, but if she can't be with me in the end, I also wish her happiness. Her parents are also doing this for her own good. Such a family is rare."

Lian Xiaomin looked at him and said, "There is always a way out of everything. Don't worry too much."

"This way, hunting is best after a heavy snowfall. The ground is all white, and wild boars can't hide when they come out."

"...I plan to sneak into the mountains in a few days, to the Wild Phoenix Valley, and come back in three or four days. Do you want to go?"

Lin Youshu was a little surprised that Master Lian would take him hunting.

Is there any need to ask? With these two tricks, they must have gained a lot. In addition to the quantitative tasks assigned to the production team, they must have secretly exchanged them for money.

For such a good thing, usually the most reliable person has to be brought along, which shows respect for him!

"Master Lian, if you call me, of course I will go. Although I don't know how to hunt, I am strong. I will help you carry the prey! And I will keep my mouth shut..."

It's hibernation now, and we're not going to work. There's nothing wrong with that, but we just can't let anyone know.

The two of them agreed, and Lian Xiaomin also told him to find an excuse when the time comes, such as going to the county to visit a relative from his hometown or something, and not to let anyone know that he went hunting after being gone for a few days.

Lin Youshu nodded vigorously, and after speaking, the two of them went back.

It was a little after 8:30 when Lian Xiaomin got home. She entered the space and watched the four little kids wash and brush their teeth, and then went to bed.

Guagua held his sister's hand and lay in his own little bed.

Lian Xiaomin patted him and he fell asleep in a short while.

After taking care of the four little kids, she put on a long black down jacket, which was light and warm, a hat and a black mask, and left the space.

It's only half past nine, and she has to go to the black market in the county town.

She blew out the kerosene lamp in the house, locked the door and the yard door, and walked outside along the path behind the mountain.

After walking about two miles and making sure there was no one around, he took out the jeep from the space, got in, and continued driving forward.

The road was not easy to drive on, and even though Xiaomin drove slowly, it took them about an hour and a half to reach the edge of the county town.

He found a secluded woods, put the jeep into the space, changed to a bicycle and rode into the city, and soon arrived at the black market near the cannery’s family compound.

Jindou is still guarding the gate of the abandoned warehouse. The last time he came here was a year ago. It seems nothing has changed.

"Golden Bean, do you still remember me?"

Although the other person was wearing a mask, Jindou recognized him at a glance. This was the person who shipped the goods to them last year!

At that time, sixty watches and five thousand kilograms of cotton were traded, which was no small feat.

"How could I not remember? Are you here to see Brother Dalong?"

He looked very happy and quickly called another younger brother to come and watch at the door, then led Lian Xiaomin inside.

In the last transaction, Xiaomin's name was not even mentioned, and the other party did not ask any questions. He even begged her to send any more supplies here.

But a year passed, and she was away for five months, mainly because of sudden emergencies, and she didn't come back to the county town.

Go around from the outside to the two bungalows at the back of the compound, and you'll find Dalong.

Lian Xiaomin parked her bicycle at the door and followed Jindou into the house.

"Brother Dalong, the girl who shipped the goods last time is here!"

Dalong and his brother Daming looked behind Jindou and recognized him immediately.

"Long time no see, please take a seat!"

This is the God of Wealth, and both of them looked happy.

Jindou picked up the kettle on the stove, added water into the teapot, and then took a clean teacup to pour tea.

"It's cold, drink some hot tea. Miss, why haven't you got any for so long? We've been waiting for you!"

There was a stove burning coal in the room, so it was quite warm. Lian Xiaomin sat down and put the backpack she was carrying on the ground.

"I'm not local. I've been out of town this year, so I didn't come."
