Soon all the dishes were served.

Except for the beginning when Li Yunsheng invited Xu Xiaoyan to dinner, he was taking good care of Cheng Mingyue at other times.

Li Yunsheng's behavior almost scared Cheng Mingyue's heart so much that it beat slower.

What's going on?!

Li Yunsheng doesn't like Xu Xiaoyan, he is clearly after me!

This person knows he's married, so what's wrong with his brain now?!

"Officer Li, I agreed to treat you to a meal last time. I'll give you the money you spent."

Cheng Mingyue pretended to be distant as she spoke, then took out money and tickets from her pocket and stuffed them into Li Yunsheng's hands.

Li Yunsheng smiled brightly: "How can I let a girl like you treat me? I'm already very happy to have dinner with you...you guys."

Li Yunsheng refused to take Cheng Mingyue's money no matter what.

It was dinner time and many people came to the state-owned restaurant to eat. Cheng Mingyue didn't want to argue with him here, so she took the money and ticket back.

But she has made up her mind now to stay away from Li Yunsheng as much as possible in the future.

Gao Yiman was already difficult enough to deal with today, and his fiancée in Beijing was even more difficult to deal with. It was better to stay away from her.

After they finished their meal, Cheng Mingyue and Xu Xiaoyan got on their bikes and rode away.

Li Yunsheng stood alone at the door of the state-owned hotel, still with a perverted look on his face, smiling like a fool.

After Xu Xiaoyan rode for a distance, she began to giggle.

"Mingyue, you told me to stay away from Officer Li, but I don't think he has any feelings for you!"

Cheng Mingyue was so choked that she didn't know what to say.

To be honest, she and Li Yunsheng had only met a few times in total, and every time they met, there were many people around them. It would be impossible for them to develop any inexplicable feelings for each other.

But when she thought of Li Yunsheng's stubbornness in the book, she was so scared that goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Cheng Mingyue was silent along the way, and Xu Xiaoyan stopped teasing her. The two of them soon returned to the Baihe Brigade.

Cheng Mingyue didn't go home either, but took the things directly to the clinic.

Cheng Tianlai did not go to the mountain to collect herbs today. He was grinding medicinal powder with a small stone pestle. When he saw Cheng Mingyue bringing back so many things, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch several times.

Cheng Mingyue took out several things from the bag, put them in the cabinet, and then said to Cheng Tian:

"Master, when you get off work, remember to take those things home."

Cheng Tianlai's face suddenly broke into a smile:

"Did you buy me something?"

After saying that, he stopped grinding the medicine powder and couldn't wait to open the cabinet to take a look. After he finished looking, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.

After laughing, he pretended to be disgusted and said:

"Mingyue, I have everything I need. You're just wasting money."

"Tsk, Master, you are only in your thirties, why do you speak so old-fashionedly? If someone doesn't know you, they would think you are eighty." Cheng Mingyue curled her lips.

Cheng Tianlai didn't argue with Cheng Mingyue. He washed his hands and picked up a piece of trough cake and started eating.

After finishing his meal, he glanced at Cheng Mingyue again and asked, "Are you free tomorrow?"

"It's the same as usual. Just keep track of your work points and everything will be fine." Cheng Mingyue replied, then asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Cheng Tianlai was overjoyed when he heard that Cheng Mingyue was fine, and immediately said:

"Then come with me up the mountain tomorrow morning after you finish your work. I'm still short of one ingredient for the pills. I've been searching the mountain for several days but can't find it. Come with me tomorrow to look for it."

Before Cheng Tian came, whenever he needed some medicinal herbs, he would take Cheng Mingyue with him to look for them, and they would definitely be found quickly.

Therefore, Cheng Tianlai now regards Cheng Mingyue as a detector to help him find medicinal herbs.

Although Cheng Mingyue was speechless, she agreed quickly.

She really wants to go up the mountain again these days.

The rabbits she caught for the two little ones last time all ran away, so she had to get two back no matter what when she went up the mountain this time.

The two little guys are going to school soon, and getting two rabbits will make them happy.

Cheng Mingyue was busy in the clinic for a while, and when it was almost time to get off work, she went back to the village office.

Soon, several team leaders came back with the work points books. Cheng Mingyue first recorded the work points, and then began to check and record the farm tools returned by the villagers.

After another half an hour of busy work, Cheng Mingyue packed up her things, went next door to get the things she had bought, and returned to her parents' home.

Wang Guihua felt sorry for the money when she saw Cheng Mingyue buying so many things again.

Wang Guihua is now much more receptive than before. Even if she feels bad about the money, she won't say anything more. She believes in her daughter's abilities.

"Mom, these books are for Xiaolong and Xiaohu. Cut half of the meat and keep it at home. I'll also give you a box of these pastries..."

Cheng Mingyue divided almost everything into two parts, leaving one for her parents and taking the other home.

Wang Guihua's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she saw Cheng Mingyue leaving so many things at home.

It’s not that she really cares about these things, but she feels proud and touched that the daughter she raised knows how to be filial to her parents.

Cheng Mingyue smiled and took Wang Guihua's arm:

"Mom, please don't be so moved. While I'm still in the village, I'll be more filial to you. When I go out in the future, there will be fewer opportunities like this."

When Wang Guihua heard this, she no longer cared about being sad and immediately became anxious.

"You're not in the village? Where are you going?"

"I definitely want to see the outside world. If I have the chance, I'd like to go to college."

After Cheng Mingyue finished speaking, Wang Guihua clapped her hands happily:

"Do you want to go to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University? Your father just received a notice yesterday saying that our village will be allocated two places. If you want to go, that would be perfect!"

"Does our village have places at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University?"

Cheng Mingyue smiled after asking this question.

I remember that the book said that there were indeed two places at that time, and they were finally taken by Qin Lang and Lu Yao.

"Yeah! How about you and Lu Chen go to college together?!"

Cheng Mingyue was sure that she didn't want to go to a workers', peasants' and soldiers' university, but she was still unsure of Lu Chen's intention, so she didn't refuse.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go back and discuss it with Lu Chen first. If I've made a decision, I'll tell you."

"Then you better hurry up. Your father was going to tell you today, but after searching for you for a while, he realized you went to town. Who knows, maybe your father will come to look for you in the evening."

Wang Guihua didn't think there was anything wrong with giving this spot to Cheng Mingyue and Lu Chen.

On the contrary, she even felt that these two places should have belonged to them.

Both of them graduated from high school, one was from the village, and the other was an educated youth who went to the countryside. In every aspect, they were in compliance with the regulations and no one could find any fault with them.
