Zhang Heping knew she wouldn't believe it, but they hadn't been in touch for so long and he didn't know what his situation was.

"Okay, let's not talk about him anymore. We'll go to the county town after we're stable and see if we can run into him. I don't know if his injuries have healed or how he's doing now."

Zhang Heping pulled her to sit back down. The weather was gradually getting cooler, and she felt very cold after standing outside for a while.

"Well, let's think more about how we're going to get through this winter. It's really cold here!"

Liu Ya shuddered. What they brought was not enough!

"I've only been here for two days, so I have a lot of things to prepare. The people in this brigade seem pretty good. If we pay attention, there shouldn't be any major problems."

Zhang Heping said uncertainly that he was assigned here because he heard that the captain here was quite upright.

"You haven't even had any contact with them, so how can you say they're good? The captain seems quite upright, unlike the hypocritical people we met before."

Liu Ya had a good impression of Zhou Guofu, whom she had met twice, otherwise she would have left long ago.

As a child born in a high-ranking official family, she did not develop the attitude of being pampered and looking down on country people. This is all thanks to Zhang Heping.

The two of them are a typical poor boy marrying a rich girl situation.

Zhang Heping also worked hard to make himself successful, and transformed himself from a poor boy into an important figure in a higher education institution.

Liu Ya was attracted by her talent and married Zhang Heping, a poor boy, despite her family's objections.

She changed her bad habits as a rich girl, learned to cook and mend her own clothes.

I have never met anyone like this before, and those people probably wouldn't dare to recognize me if they saw me.

Zhang Heping also respected her very much. The two complemented each other and encouraged Liu Ya not to give up her previous skills. This also laid the foundation for Liu Ya to become his colleague later.

Two sons and one daughter, one joined the army, one went into politics, and one studied medicine, all of them are married. Zhang Heping and his wife were framed by their rivals and had to move from the bustling city to this remote corner for the sake of their children.

"Let's go to our only neighbor's house later and see if we can get along well. We're a bit far from the team center. The good thing is that it's quiet and no one will bother us. The bad thing is that if we need help, we won't be able to find anyone."

"Well, if they're good, we can still visit. I've seen children coming in and out of their house, but I've never heard them yell at them. So they're probably good."

Zhang Heping was amused by her words.

"What you said is true. Our two families are not close to each other! You can hear them yelling at the children from here. How loud must it be?"

After hearing what he said, Liu Ya thought about the location of the two families and touched her nose in embarrassment.

"Hahaha, that's nothing. You're just used to the city life where whatever you say at home is known to everyone outside. Just get used to it slowly! I don't know how long you'll be staying here."

"Hmph, I won't talk to you anymore. I need to go visit the neighbors."

Liu Ya has been forcing herself not to think about how long she will stay here, but in order to make her stay willingly, Zhang Heping would talk to her whenever he found an opportunity, and she gradually got used to it after talking more.

In order to prevent him from showing off, Liu Ya would change the subject every time she talked about this.

"Stop talking. I'll go with you."

Zhang Heping followed immediately, fearing that he would be really angry and difficult to appease.

Lu Ming and Zhang Anan were still discussing what New Year's goods to buy, and they didn't realize that the neighbor they were talking about in the morning was walking towards them.

"Huh, it looks close, but it's actually quite far to walk. Hey, there's another house over there."

Liu Ya stomped her feet and pointed in another direction.

"That's the cowshed. Have you forgotten what the captain said before? There are only three of us in a row at the foot of the mountain. The closest one is the clinic in front. This brigade is very large, and the living quarters are not very concentrated."

"Oh, I didn't really hear him say that. Is anyone home with the door closed?"

"We're here. There are voices in the yard. They should be here."

"Dong Dong Dong"

Lu Chenlin and Lu Chenyao, who were playing in the yard, stopped when they heard a knock on the door.

"Sister, I'll go open the door. You take your brothers and sisters to find mother and the others."

The brother and sister divided the work and cooperated with each other. This was what Zhang Anan had instructed them to do. The main reason was that they were afraid that the Lu family would cause trouble when they were not paying attention.

"Yeah." He pulled them over and went.

Zhang Anan and others in the room also heard the noise.

Lu Chenlin peeked out through the crack in the door and saw two unfamiliar elderly people who looked very kind. He couldn't help but shout.

"Grandpa, grandma, who are you looking for?"

"Hello, little friend, we are looking for your parents, are they there?"

Liu Ya heard a clear child's voice and couldn't help but reply happily.

"Oh, wait a minute, my mother and the others are here."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Anan came up to him, touched his head and gave him a thumbs up.

"Excuse me, old man, the child is ignorant. Come in quickly!"

Zhang Anan welcomed them in with a smile.

"We are sorry for being rude and disturbing you by coming here. The child is very sensible and a good kid," Liu Ya said and gave a thumbs up to Lu Chenlin who had been staring at him.

"He's just a little troublemaker. It's cold outside, come in!"

Zhang Anan glared at Lu Chenlin who was about to refute her and signaled him to shut up.

Zhang Heping was amused by the expressions of the mother and child. It seemed that the family got along well, otherwise the child would not be so lively and cheerful.
