Shen Shuyi still didn't know what these gossipers were up to, she said half-truthfully: "Yes, Lu Huai accompanied me to the town to send a letter to my parents. Before I went to the countryside, my parents said that it would be difficult for me to be alone in the countryside, and if there was a young man I liked, I could date him and get married."

"Well, I think Comrade Lu Huai is quite strong and a good worker, so I decided to date him. I went to the town today to tell my parents that Comrade Lu Huai and I are getting married."

"Oh my, is this true?" Several village women slapped their thighs.

Shen Shuyi looked serious and smiled, "Can marriage be fake? Comrade Lu Huai and I are not playing tricks."

"Then do your parents know about Lu Huai's family situation?"

"Of course, they agreed."

"Chen Zhiqing, Auntie is doing this for your own good. Lu Huai is handsome, but his family is not good. What's more, he is injured and can't have children with others in this life."

"That ungrateful wolf cub Lu Huai tricked people into falling into the fire pit."

"I have to say this from the bottom of my heart. You should break up with Lu Huai as soon as possible."

But Shen Shuyi said: “Why should it be cut off? He can work.”

"Why...why don't you listen to my advice?"

"Don't bother trying to persuade me. There are many lazy people in this village, but hardworking and motivated men like Lu Huai are rare. Since you all know about it, I won't notify you specially if I get married tomorrow."

Shen Shuyi will be transferred and leave, she will not treat these people who always scold the Lu family to food and drinks, it is a pure waste.

In less than a day, the news that Shen Zhiqing and Lu Huai were dating spread throughout the Red Star Brigade.

…

Shen Shuyi received a message from Lu Huai saying that her grandmother wanted to see her, so she made some red date cakes and brought them to the Lu family.

Unexpectedly, she heard the voices of a man and a woman talking in the woods by the roadside, and the voices were particularly familiar to her.

Shen Shuyi glanced subconsciously and saw that Wang Zhechu and Cheng Wanqin had an argument while talking furtively.

Cheng Wanqin cried, "Chuzhe, you didn't treat me like this before..."

“Could it be that you are really thinking about Shen Shuyi? She is about to marry a village man!”

"Shut up." Wang Zhechu's voice sounded disgusted, "You stink of cow dung, stay away from me."

"Woo woo, you actually still despise me, why don't I just leave!"

Shen Shuyi really didn't mean to eavesdrop, nor was she interested in eavesdropping, but it was such a coincidence, so coincidental that when she raised her foot to leave, she was seen by the sharp-eyed Wang Chuzhe and chased after her.

"Chen Shuyi, stop for a moment, I have something to ask you." Wang Chuzhe stopped Chen Shuyi.

Why did Shen Shuyi listen to him and walk without stopping.

Wang Chuzhe had no choice but to quickly catch up and get straight to the point, "Are you really going to marry into the village?"

"How long have you been in the countryside and you're so eager to date someone?"

Shen Shuyi raised his eyebrows, met Wang Chuzhe's eyes, and kept a distance from him.

"Wang Chuzhe, where I marry and who I date is none of your business, right?"

"Tell me why you reacted so strongly."

Shen Shuyi looked at him with a half-smile, "Could it be that you have fallen in love with me?"

"Tsk, please don't, or I'll feel sick."

Wang Chuzhe seemed to be struck by his inner emotions, and he froze in place.

Shen Shuyi gathered the scarf around her neck and strode away.

As soon as Grandma Lu saw her, she held her hand and said, "Xiaoyi, come here. Grandma has something to give you."

Chen Shuyi handed the red date cake to Yingzi and followed Grandma Lu into the inner room.

"This has been passed down from generation to generation in the Lu family. Now that you are with Huaizi, I will give it to you." Grandma Lu took out an iron box similar to the one used to hold mooncakes.

When Shen Shuyi opened it, he found some gold jewelry and jade bracelets inside. This...isn't the Lu family very poor?

"Grandma, this is too valuable. I can't accept it."

Grandma Lu held her hand and asked her to accept it, "You are a good girl. It is a blessing for Huaizi to marry you."

"I originally thought that I only had a few years left to live, so I hid the gold and didn't give it to Huaizi to buy medicine. I thought I would give the gold to him after I was gone so that he could marry a good girl."

Shen Shuyi felt inexplicably sad when he heard her words, and his mood was still heavy until he walked out of the yard.

Lu Huai took her hand, took her to his bedroom, looked into her eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Shuyi told him everything, and Lu Huai held her hand tightly, "Just take what grandma gave you, we can use it to buy a radio and a watch. I can't let you suffer when you marry me."

“How did you become so talkative?” Shen Shuyi’s heavy mood suddenly dissipated, and he asked with a smile on his face, “Why were you always so cold to me before?”

Lu Huai gently held her in his arms, his chin against her head, and whispered, "It was all my fault before."

“I don’t think you’re bad.” Shen Shuyi turned around and hugged his waist face to face, “You can’t push me away in the future.”

"If you push me away again, I will never come back."

Lu Huai tightened his arms. He was familiar with all the unbearable and beautiful things in this land, but Shen Zhiqing was different. She came from a big city.

He asked hoarsely, "Will you regret marrying me and staying here?"

Shen Shuyi shook his head, “No, my heart is here, this is my hometown.”

All plans will be made after the college entrance examination. She will leave here, but not now.

After hearing her answer, Lu Huai smiled and lowered his head to give her a light kiss on her hair.
