Mo Wuwei returned to the room, put down the jar of wine, and went to sleep on the kang.

However, when I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Lin Ruyan, so chaotic and confusing that I couldn't fall asleep at all.

He simply got up and poured himself another half glass of wine. After drinking it, he felt a burning sensation in his throat, and then in his stomach. He finished half a glass and poured himself another one until his head was dizzy and he fell uncontrollably on the kang and gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun stood guard at his door, fearing that he would get drunk and act crazy, or run around.

They left and went back to their own rooms to rest only after they heard no sound in his room.

Educated Youth Point

Lin Ruyan lay on the kang all afternoon without falling asleep, and she didn't feel sleepy at night either.

He tossed and turned on the kang for a long time. Fearing that he would disturb the other educated youths' rest if he continued like this, he put on his clothes and went to the yard.

The weather was already very cold in late autumn and early winter. She sat in the moonlight-filled yard wearing a coat, staring at the bright full moon in the sky, in a daze.

The person she was thinking about must be sleeping soundly at this moment.

She didn't tell Mo Wuwei that she was leaving during the day. She thought that if she told him, he would feel more relaxed and sleep better at night.

It doesn't matter. He will know the news of her leaving sooner or later. He will definitely be very happy when he finds out, and maybe he will even drink to celebrate.

She sat in the yard for nearly two hours without realizing it. Her legs were numb from the cold, so she got up and went back into the house.

She lay down on the kang, perhaps because she was too sleepy, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.

In the cowshed

Mo Wuwei got up as soon as the sky was getting light.

In fact, he didn't sleep well the whole night, and when he was about to get up, he still smelled of alcohol.

He quickly washed up, tidied his clothes, and prepared to go out.

After thinking about it all night in a daze, he felt that maybe he could be a little selfish and bolder and go to the educated youth site to find Lin Ruyan and ask her if she could stay for him.

But his character prevented him from being selfish, so he simply went to get some wine.

Alcohol makes cowards brave!

If he gets himself drunk, he should be able to say those words boldly.

He raised the jar of wine, gulped down a few mouthfuls, then strode out, walked a few steps and came back, grabbing the jar of wine.

He felt that this amount of alcohol was not enough and he needed some more.

He drank as he walked to the educated youth site to find Lin Ruyan.

Halfway through the journey, two middle-aged women came over from the opposite direction. One of them said, "I told you that Lin Zhiqin was introduced to someone before, but she didn't even look at them. I thought she already had someone she liked, but it turns out she's thinking about returning to the city."

"That's right. If people can go back to the city, who would stay here? It's so good there. The food is good, the accommodation is good, and you can earn a lot of money from your job. If you find someone who has a job in the city, it's a hundred times better than marrying here. If it were me, I would choose to go back to the city too."

After they finished talking, they noticed Mo Wuwei, whispered a few words stealthily, and left quickly.

They didn't know how much turmoil their words had caused in Mo Wuwei's heart.

"No, I can't be so selfish. She has a wonderful youth, a bright future, and perhaps even a happy future."

He couldn't be a stumbling block on her path.

So he turned around and walked up the mountain carrying the jar of wine.

He was almost a regular visitor to the mountain these days, sitting under a cedar tree and drinking again.

He reached into his pocket and found the harmonica he always wore. He wanted to take it out and play a tune, but he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to play the tune, so he could only continue drinking.

He had almost finished the wine in the jar, his head buzzing, and he lay down on a big rock. Finally, his brain became so heavy that he lost consciousness. The jar in his hand fell on the rock below and broke with a bang. Then he closed his eyes tightly and knew nothing.

Educated Youth Point

Lin Ruyan slept too late last night, so when she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. Through the window, she seemed to see the dazzling sunlight.

Everything around her was bare, and there were no other educated youth in sight.

Now that we don't have to go to work and the weather is getting colder, the educated youth usually stay in bed until seven or eight o'clock before getting up. It's probably already past eight o'clock now.

She looked at her watch and it was already half past eight.

Lu Xinyue walked in. "Lin Zhiqing, you're awake. I hadn't thought about that. Since you hadn't bought your train ticket yet, you could leave at any time, so I didn't wake you up. I wanted to save you from sleeping poorly and dozing off on the train. The train is so noisy, it's not good to doze off."

Lin Ruyan sat up and said, "I'm not sleepy anymore. It's time to get up."

She got up, washed, ate her last meal at the educated youth site, picked up her suitcase and said goodbye to everyone.

She had not been here for long and did not have a deep friendship with these educated youth. All of them were at the door, and after a brief farewell to her, she prepared to leave.

Carrying the suitcase, I walked towards the village entrance, took a ox cart there, and then went to the county town.

Her steps were very slow. The distance of a hundred meters should have been covered in one minute, but she took several minutes to dawdle.

Finally, I walked to the ox cart and put the luggage on it.

The team leader personally drove the ox cart and said, "Lin Zhiqing, I wonder how many people will envy you when you leave."

Lin Ruyan smiled bitterly. She was actually more envious of them for being able to continue staying here.

They waited for half an hour, and other people going to the county town arrived one after another, filling up the car. The team leader decided to drive the cattle away.

Lin Ruyan also got on the car and sat on her luggage.
