Chapter 110: The Heartless Educated Youth in the Period Literature (15)

The beginning of the twelfth lunar month.

In a blink of an eye, Su Yu and Shao Jinglin have been together for half a year.

These six months can be regarded as the most comfortable six months for Su Yu.

It was just that Shao Jinglin kept asking her when the wedding date would be set, which was annoying, but fortunately she managed to fool him.

Liang Wenshu also came to see her several times. Su Yu tried to appease and tempt her on the surface, but turned around and continued to stick with Shao Jinglin, which made Liang Shuwen very angry.

Whenever he walked past Shao Jinglin, he would secretly glare at him.

The end of the year is approaching.

There is not much work to do in the fields, so most people stay at home at this time, keeping the kang warm, and occasionally wrapping themselves up tightly to go out to prepare some New Year's goods.

Shao Jinglin prepared the food and put it on the table as usual.

"Mom, it's time to eat."

A woman with cloudy and unfocused eyes came out of the house, mumbling, "Why are you in the kitchen again? Didn't mom tell me that cooking is for me to do. How can a grown man like you run to the kitchen every day? People will laugh at you if others tell you about it."

Shao Jinglin ignored it and nodded perfunctorily: "I understand. I won't do it again next time."

The woman said angrily, "You always say that. When have you ever heard me?"

The clinking of dishes and chopsticks rang out. The woman was quiet for a while, and couldn't help but speak: "If you hadn't driven Tiantian away and made her afraid to come to our house, why would you have to do all this?"

Shao Jinglin said in a deep voice: "Mom!"

"I can do these things, Liang Tiantian is not related to us, so don't bother her all the time."

The woman felt guilty and waved her hands: "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore."

After a short pause, the woman asked again, "How are you and that educated youth comrade?"

"It's been so long. She should have received a reply to the letter she wrote home. What did her parents say? When can the wedding date be set?"

The woman sighed. Her son didn't like the girl next door, but instead fell in love with the educated youth from other place.

Just go with her if you like her. She's a woman after all. Set a date as soon as possible and she won't have to worry about it.

Shao Jinglin lowered his eyes and was silent for a moment: "Ayu is still young, there is no rush to get married."

"No rush to get married?"

The woman felt pain in her heart when she heard this, and she pointed at him with a trembling finger: "She is still young, but you are not young anymore. You will be in your twenties next year. How old are the children of your age in the village? Are you deliberately trying to piss me off?"

Shao Jinglin said nothing.

In fact, he had mentioned it to Su Yu several times, but Su Yu always refused. However, looking at her hesitant and fearful eyes, he could not bear to force her.

and……

I don’t know if it was Shao Jinglin’s illusion, but Su Yu seemed to be much colder towards him during this period.

In fact, he had run into Su Yu and Liang Wenshu coming down the back mountain one after another several times.

Once or twice is a coincidence, but when it happens too many times, people have to think more about it.

Without any warning, Liang Tiantian's words from half a year ago came to my ears.

Shao Jinglin didn't want to believe it, but what if it was true, what if they had been related half a year ago...

Shao Jinglin suddenly put down his chopsticks: "Mom, you eat first, I have something to do and will be out for a while."

After saying that, he packed a few freshly steamed buns in his lunch box and hurried out.

"Hey, we're having dinner, why are you going?"

The woman reached out to stop him, but she was unable to move and could only watch Shao Jinglin leave.

At this time, the Youth League students were also having dinner.

Su Yu was daydreaming as she chewed the tasteless meal.

"What is Su Zhiqing thinking about? Why is he so absent-minded?"

Su Yu raised her head, her eyes blank, and it took a long time for them to slowly gather their brilliance: "Nothing, I just miss home a little."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table suddenly became low.

Coming from my hometown to a strange place in the countryside, who wouldn’t miss home? Moreover, now that the New Year is approaching, what kind of New Year is it if I can’t spend the New Year with my family? The sensitive educated youth even shed tears silently.

Su Yu: “…”

She really didn't mean it, she just said it casually.

Thinking of the time she had agreed with Liang Wenshu, Su Yu silently quickened her pace and finished her meal.

Put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm done eating, you guys take your time."

The moment I walked out the door, I could vaguely hear someone whispering to the person next to him, "Su Zhiqing must be crying because she missed home. She was embarrassed to be seen by us, so she went out to cry secretly."

Su Yu was silent again.

In a sense, they were not wrong.

Su Yu and Liang Wenshu met in the woods not far from the Youth League Institute. When she arrived, Liang Wenshu had been waiting for a while.

He huddled under a tree, put his hands to his mouth and blew on them to keep warm.

It is the coldest time of winter.

The cold wind is as sharp as a knife and can blow into the bones.

Su Yu shrank her neck, wrapped her scarf tighter, and whispered, "Liang Wenshu."

Liang Wenshu turned around, saw her, and came forward excitedly: "Xiaoyu, you are finally here."

Su Yu was too lazy to correct his address and asked the question that concerned her most: "How is it going? Is there any news?"

Liang Wenshu nodded: "My father said that there might be a quota for our team."

Su Yu was surprised.

But the next sentence was like a bucket of cold water poured over my head.

"But my father also said that for fairness, this quota will be given to Yang Zhiqing, who was the first to go to the countryside and has been here for four or five years."

There were others who came earlier, but most of them could not stand the harsh conditions and married and had children with locals. Only Yang Zhiqing was still holding on.

Su Yu panicked and grabbed Liang Wenshu's sleeve regardless and shook it gently. Her delicate little face was buried in the scarf, revealing eyes as bright as gems.

"Then what should I do?" Su Yu said in a soft voice, "You promised me before, go and beg your mother, doesn't your mother love you the most, please help me, only you can help me."

Liang Wenshu closed his eyes in enjoyment, his mind wandering.

It turns out that Su Zhiqing looks so good when she acts coquettishly.

But when Liang Wenshu thought that Shao Jinglin must have seen it many times, he immediately became unhappy.

Why is Shao Jinglin so successful? Isn’t it just that he can do some work?

Liang Wenshu took the opportunity to put forward a condition: "What about Shao Jinglin?"

Su Yu understood immediately and spoke softer: "I have nothing to do with him. You already knew that. I just tricked him into doing some work for me. He is just a barbaric peasant. How can he compare to you? I have kept all the poems you wrote for me and I read them every night."

Su Yu almost vomited from talking so much.

She threw all those poems that made her teeth ache into the furnace and set them on fire.

"You are the captain's son, and you are so educated. How could I be so stupid as to like Shao Jinglin?"

Su Yu took a deep breath, held Liang Wenshu's hand and shook it gently, saying softly: "If you are still not satisfied, I will go and make it clear with him tomorrow and be with you."

A slender, white, and soft hand came up to hold Liang Wenshu's. His heart instantly floated up, and his feet felt light. He couldn't help but return the hand. Ah, it was as soft as he had imagined.

He groaned: "You really don't like Shao Jinglin?"

Su Yu nodded repeatedly: "Of course it's true, you already knew it a long time ago, I have explained it to you many times in the past six months."

Half a year is exactly the time I can spend with Shao Jinglin.

"You are with him only because he can work, and you are forced to be with him because you can't stand hardship. You have been lying to him all along. Do you not like him at all?"

Su Yu: "Of course."

Su Yu was getting annoyed. She kept asking about this point over and over again. No matter how many times she said it, she kept asking. But she hadn't got the chance to return to the city yet, and she had to coax him.

When he got the chance to return to the city, he and Shao Jinglin would have the same fate.
