"You, do you even look like a proper girl anymore?"

Don't you know whether I'm a lesbian or not?

"Fine, fine, can't I win an argument with you?"

"Then tell me honestly, when did you realize you liked me? Don't lie to me."

"I swear to the great leader that everything I say next is true. I discovered that my feelings for you were not those of a brother who likes his sister, but rather romantic love, when I received the news that you were going to the countryside."

When I learned you were going to the countryside, I was so worried I couldn't sleep. I was afraid you wouldn't adapt well, and I was honestly worried about you.

"And then what happened?"

"I had just returned to school from a mission when my instructor noticed something was wrong with me, so he talked to me."

"Anything else?"

"After the conversation, the instructor told me to follow my heart, but I didn't understand it until the moment I saw you again in the countryside. Then I knew that you had unknowingly taken root in my heart."

It's that simple.

"No wonder you write to me more often than my older brother and the others!"

"Mianmian, what are you thinking?"

"Me? I don't want to tell you what to do."

"Please, Mianmian, tell your brother, please? I'm begging you."

"You really want to know?"

"think"

"Alright then! I agree, but I have conditions."

"You know, even though we grew up together and understand each other well, this is different from dating. So we need to get to know each other first. Also, if we want to get married, we have to wait for my consent."

"Okay, whatever you say."

"By the way, Third Brother, could you come with me to the brigade leader's house? Since we're leaving, we need to get the paperwork done."

"Is it too late?"

"Uncle Zhou has already taken care of everything else, and we now know the brigade has agreed."

"Let's go together then."

"What? Li Zhiqing, you're leaving our brigade?"

"Yes! Are we going back to the city?"

"no"

That is

"Go to Xiangyang Brigade, Hongqi Commune, Tongshi to work in the countryside."

"No, you were doing fine in our brigade, why did you suddenly move to another place?"

"Captain, my sister is going to Xiangyang Brigade, Hongqi Commune, Tongshi. The educated youth office and the receiving area have both agreed."

"In that case, our brigade won't stop Li Zhiqing from leaving."

"Thank you, Captain."

Is it possible for Li Zhiqing to tell us why he was suddenly transferred to another place?

"If Captain Gu is willing to pay attention, it shouldn't be difficult! If you really don't understand, you might as well go back and ask your elders at home. Mianmian, let's go."

"good"

"What boss? Who are you saying wants to leave?"

"Father, Mother, what exactly have you been doing to Li Zhiqing behind his back? Why are you still keeping it a secret until now? You only care about Cuicui, why don't you think about whether Yunpeng is being harassed in the army?"

"How is that possible? There are plenty of military units. How could Li Mianmian possibly manage to investigate them all?"

"It really was you, Mother, who did this! Alright, in that case, Mother, don't bother your son with anything from now on. Just go to Cuicui! She's your darling!"

"What do you mean, boss?"

"That's exactly what you mean."

"You, eldest son, you unfilial son, your mother..."

"So be it! I'll see how filial Cuicui really is. From now on, my family will live separately."

"Boss, you..."

"Hasn't Father always pretended to be confused when he knew the truth? He's not confused at all."

From then on, the Gu family only maintained a superficial harmony. In fact, there was something going on in the brigade that no one knew about within half an hour. The old man and his wife had become estranged from their eldest son's family because of their daughter.

At first, no one knew they were leaving until a military truck arrived at the production team in the morning, at which point they realized the truck was there to help Comrade Li Mianmian move.

Everyone was still completely bewildered. When they moved, Third Brother even brought a few soldiers from the mountain to help.

Because of what happened last time, the commune members in the production team didn't interact with him much, so even when he saw San leading people to help him move, he didn't plan to come over.

When Grandpa Gu saw himself moving, he said to his sons and grandsons beside him, "You guys go and lend Li a hand."

"It's Dad"

"Li Zhiqing, we've come to lend a hand."

Thank you.

"Don't mention it."

"What is Li Zhiqing doing?" Gu Zhengsong asked.

"We moved to a production team near Tongshi, which is closer to Third Brother's unit, so we can look after each other."

"That's true. It's still a bit worrying for a little girl like you to be alone. It's good for you to be closer to your brother."

"I still want to thank everyone for their help over the past few years."

"What are you saying? Everyone welcomes you to our area. Besides, you've never troubled anyone when you come here."

"But the villagers didn't make things difficult for me! Anyway, I still want to thank everyone."

"Li Mianmian, what do you mean? Are you leaving?" Ruan Yuanyuan jumped out and asked.

"Didn't you see? Li, the educated youth, is moving."

"Chen Xi, do I need to answer your questions? It's just a lucky guess, a case of meddling in other people's business."

"you"

"What, is Chen Zhiqing no longer maintaining a proper image?"

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you."

"Who wants to talk to you!"

I overheard their conversation but ignored them.

Ever since Third Brother came over recently, Ruan Yuanyuan and Chen Xi have been constantly finding excuses to get closer to us. Do they really think they don't know what's going on?

Leaving aside the fact that Ruan Yuanyuan was abandoned by the Zhang family, I also learned about the identities and family affairs of the other two people from Uncle Zhou.

It's not that something bad happened at home, so they came to the countryside to take refuge. Even if their family can escape, it won't be easy for them to go back to the city. That's why they wanted to approach their third brother and find someone to marry. That way, they could not only solve the problem of going back to the city, but also avoid suffering in the countryside.

But Third Brother never spoke to them and never gave them a second glance; he always avoided them.

They finished moving things quickly. He took out some White Rabbit milk candies and grabbed a few to give to the people who had come to help. He didn't keep the rest, but handed them to Li Mingqiao, saying, "Please, Li, help distribute them to everyone! I won't go over there myself."

"Li Zhiqing this"

"It's nothing, just a bag of candy. Besides, I've lived in this production team for several years, so I guess I have a connection with everyone here."

"Okay, then I'll divide it up for Li Zhiqing."

"Third Brother will go to Tongshi himself."

"Go ahead. It'll be at least another six months before I get back from here. Take good care of yourself over there. If you need anything, just go to the military region. Don't ask for anyone in particular, just say your name. The commanders have already told everyone that as long as your name is mentioned, you can go in anytime."

"Am I really that good?"
