Simply go along with the conversation.

"You're absolutely right."

That's how the villagers of Liujiatun are. When faced with difficulties, they don't back down or get discouraged. They unite and rise to the challenge. If there are conditions, they'll do it; if there aren't, they'll create them. They're not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and finally, through their combined efforts, they overcame the difficulties and passed the test.

His impassioned tone, coupled with Lin's unusually serious and earnest expression, gave Liu Weimin the illusion that he was facing Secretary Lin at a large meeting in the commune, and he didn't react for a long time.

"Huh? Wait, what do you mean by that?"

His answer was simply a closed door.

Looking at the cleared village road, he shook his head and returned to the village office with amusement.

What did you say?

Liu Aiguo was so surprised that he didn't even notice the water spilling from the teacup in his hand.

Liu Weimin still looked worried.

"Brother Aiguo, why are you hearing not working properly?"

I wonder if Xiao Jian, the educated youth, was drawn to the Red Army or the Liberation Army?

I told her to talk to me and I would make the decision for her, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

"You know, now that she's in Liujiatun, I treat her like my own child. Hey, maybe I should have Guihua go ask her. Perhaps it's easier to talk to a woman than to a guy like me?"

Liu Aiguo was a little speechless, and the several elderly people who had just entered were also stunned for a moment, exchanging glances with each other.

It's not that the children in my village are bad, but looking at this delicate and capable young girl, Xiao Jian, she's clearly not on the same path as those two farmers in my village who didn't even finish elementary school.

In other words, putting aside the perspective of the young educated youth, they were still skeptical of Liu Weimin.

After all, this village chief is sometimes quite unreliable when it comes to things other than major matters like farming in the village.

Judging from Liu Aiguo's expression, it's likely that this was another misunderstanding.

"Weimin, tell me first, how did you figure it out? When did you become so observant? Or did Xiao Jian, the educated youth, tell you herself?"

Although Liu Weimin felt his judgment was correct, he hesitated for a moment in front of this room full of strategists. He then recounted what he had just witnessed with considerable confidence.

"Tell me, if she didn't have her eye on any of them, why would she stare at them like that? She's not some clueless child."

"Then what?"

Liu Weimin stared wide-eyed.

"What? And then? That's all?"

Liu Aiguo and the others felt a lump in their throat, unable to swallow or swallow.

"Just because she glanced at him a few times, you can say you're interested in him?"

"Liu Weimin, are your eyes just for show? Do you think this young girl's reputation is so easily ruined? Why are you acting like one of those gossipy old women?"

Having dodged a thrown shoe, Liu Weimin was still very wronged.

"Third Uncle, I didn't tell anyone else."

Master Liu was so angry that if he had a beard, it would have floated up.

Liu Aiguo was speechless. How did this person's brain work? Why is it sometimes good and sometimes bad?

"Weimin, is this really your only thought?"

Liu Weimin stared wide-eyed at them one by one. Very well, they were all glaring angrily. It seemed he had incurred the wrath of the crowd.

However, the incomprehension remains.

"What other ideas could there be?"

"Then tell me, have they had any contact before?"

Liu Aiguo was having a terrible headache; he felt even taking care of his grandson wasn't this tiring.

"I didn't notice either."

"What made the Red Army and the Liberation Army so special?"

Children from rural areas, after attending primary school for a few years, would return home to farm with their families. They were of average appearance but had some strength. Apart from being from poor or lower-middle peasant backgrounds, they didn't seem to be any different from other families.

This question stumped Liu Weimin.

To be honest, with Xiao Jian's abilities as an educated youth, he could find food in the mountains, wasn't afraid of wild boars, and was strong enough to work. In short, he was more capable than the men in most families.

They can live a good life on their own; it would be really foolish of them to want to find a family in the village.

This time, even Liu Weimin couldn't convince himself otherwise.

"Then, why is she looking at them?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, his voice became much softer.

"Hmph! They're really something else. Their taste is even worse than ours, a bunch of old geezers."

Jian Dan had no idea that she almost became one of those desperate to get married. After dealing with the village chief, she took the opportunity to slip away home.

The snow that had just fallen was still very beautiful, especially since no one had come to disturb it yet. She didn't plan to touch anything in the yard for the time being, and the beautiful scenery made her feel good.

I rubbed my hands together as I entered the house, and my stomach rumbled a few times in response. I checked the time, and well, according to my normal biological clock, breakfast would have been over half a day ago by now.

She didn't want to make it now; it was so cold outside, and she just wanted something hot to eat.

After browsing around the base, she finally came out with another bowl of authentic hot and sour noodles. This is one of her favorite snacks, and she would almost eat it every day without getting tired of it.

Add two braised eggs and a few steamed buns, sit on the warm kang (heated brick bed), take a bite of side dishes, a bite of noodles, a bite of egg, then a bite of the steamed bun soaked in soup, and then a sip of the sour and spicy soup. It's a simple meal that's incredibly satisfying. Although the combination is a bit of a mess, who can blame you when it's so delicious?

It's easy to feel sleepy after eating and drinking a lot. There's a saying that you feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn, and dozing off in summer, and sleepy for three months in winter.

This marks the official arrival of winter. Simple didn't have time to go out and enjoy winter activities and playing in the snow. She felt that the warm kang bed and her increasingly heavy eyelids were more important. She pushed the kang table aside and, without even struggling, immediately fell into a deep sleep.

It has to be said that in this cold season, being able to take a comfortable nap in this warm house is truly a pleasure.

When I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.

The winter sun wasn't dazzling, nor was it very warm; in fact, it was rather chilly. Half the morning hadn't been used for firewood, and the firewood under the fireplace and stove was only warm to the touch. Jian Dan was even more reluctant to leave her warm bed.

After wavering between the gradually cooling bed and adding firewood for a few minutes, Jian Dan quickly got out of bed, wrapped herself in a thick cotton-padded coat, and finished adding firewood as fast as she could. She then rushed back, threw the coat into the corner of the kang (heated brick bed), and slipped back into the still-warm bed. The whole action was done in one smooth motion, without the slightest discomfort.

Cover the area below the neck tightly again, and let out a comfortable sigh.

"It's so comfortable in bed. They say nothing's more comfortable than lying down. And it's true, if I keep indulging like this, will I become as lazy as a pig?"

I was just about to say something encouraging when, oh dear? The blankets started to warm up, and all my thoughts vanished instantly.

"Oh, the bed is so comfortable! I can't take it anymore, I'm going to stay in bed as long as I want. I'm lazy, I'm a pig, I'll be a pig."

The heated wall quickly warmed up, and the heat from the kang (heated brick bed) spread over, making it too hot to cover oneself with a blanket. Jian Dan rolled around on the small kang, exuding a lazy and relaxed vibe.
