Over fifty years old, without children, she cared for her aging parents. After seeing them to their end, and with a bit of savings in hand, a mysterious space suddenly appeared.
What was ther...
"I'm sorry, Aunt Liu, I have a boyfriend, and he's serving in the military in the next region."
"What? You have a boyfriend? And he's in the military?"
"yes"
You just said your partner lives in the next military region.
"yes!"
"That young man must be good-looking."
"He's really good; no one in our brigade can compare to him."
"Is he even better than the third son of the brigade leader's family?"
"I wonder what the captain's husband looks like! But my boyfriend is really good-looking, and he's a college graduate; he's a deputy company commander now."
"Really? He's a company commander!"
"Deputy"
"The deputy is also a company commander."
"Not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."
"Have you heard? That new educated youth who just arrived, he has a boyfriend."
"I know that, and you're even in the military?"
"I heard he's a company commander."
"He's the deputy company commander."
"That's an officer too."
"I also heard that the other party is a college student. By the way, what is a college student?"
"I don't know, but they're definitely cultured."
"A college student is someone who is taller than a high school student."
"Isn't that amazing? It shows a lot of culture."
"Yes, otherwise how could they be college students?"
When anyone who was planning to do something heard this, they knew there was no hope.
Upon hearing this, Cai Zhiqing felt that her life was so miserable. She had finally finished high school and was about to start working in a factory, but her family thought she had offended them and had no choice but to send her to the countryside.
He finally found a woman who was a good match for him, but she already had a boyfriend. It was like fate was playing a cruel joke on him.
She had no idea what these people were thinking, but she sensed ill-intentioned glances from the other female educated youth.
Too lazy to argue, he took advantage of the fact that they were all there, picked up a stone the size of a child's fist, held it in his hand, and with a little force, turned it into powder.
The sight of the female educated youths made them tremble with fear, and they never dared to come near him again. Seeing their reactions, he was very satisfied.
I really don't want to hear it. No matter what they do, as long as I'm not far away, they'll drag me into it. It's a foolproof way to get rid of me. Let's see if they dare to use me as a pawn again.
I never expected that the peaceful days would be shattered in just a few months.
This story begins after the autumn harvest this year, when the grain was being distributed. I had earned a total of 2,240 work points since coming to Xiangyang Brigade, which was among the highest, if not the most, of all the women in the brigade.
Besides the 360 jin of raw grain that I was allocated, the rest of my food was earned by exchanging work points.
Since the brigade had basically handed over all the wheat they planted, they didn't have any wheat left. Moreover, they converted their share of wheat into corn, which meant they could get an extra 300 jin of corn. In this way, they had 600 jin of coarse grains alone.
They ordered another 500 jin of corn, and the other 100 jin were all kinds of beans.
Because he had earned a lot of work points, in addition to the more than 500 jin of sweet potatoes in his food ration, he also asked for 1240 cm long sweet potatoes, which was about 1860 jin of sweet potatoes, during this food distribution. So, the total weight of sweet potatoes alone was 2360 jin.
Not to mention the others in the brigade who were envious, even the educated youth in the educated youth compound were having their own little schemes when they saw so much grain.
Then Cai, the educated youth, stepped forward and asked:
"Li Zhiqing, do you need any help? I'll carry you home later."
"Yes, Li Zhiqing, there's strength in numbers. Let's help you carry it home later!"
"No need, the abundant grain supplies won't require just a few comrades."
"Who are you"
They saw Third Brother standing behind them in his military uniform.
At that moment, several female educated youths' eyes lit up when they saw Shen Xi's appearance. They knew what they were up to without even looking.
He quickly stepped forward and said, "This is my boyfriend, Third Brother, what brings you here?"
"Knowing that your brigade is distributing grain today, I came here specifically to help you transport it."
"How will you transport it? Will you carry it back?"
"No need, we can borrow a cart to take it back later."
"good"
Not only did Cai, the other female educated youth, not expect that this person was Li's boyfriend.
But they couldn't care less about being reserved now. Just then, Han Jiaojiao shyly asked, "Comrade, could you help me transport the grain back to the educated youth compound?"
Yes, and so am I.
"Yes, I have one too. Thank you for your help, comrade in the People's Liberation Army."
"Mianmian, you stay here and watch over things. I'll go borrow a car."
"good"
Seeing that her third brother ignored them, she was quite happy and said happily, "It's good to have a partner! Finally, I don't have to transport the grain myself anymore."
“Li Zhiqing, how could you let your partner help you transport grain? He’s already exhausted from training every day, and you’re making him do chores for you? It’s obvious you don’t know how to care for others.”
Whether I'm considerate or not is none of your business.
"you"
"I'm a grown man, I don't need Mianmian to pamper me. Men only need pretty boys to pamper them. Besides, it's enough that I pamper Mianmian; as long as she's happy, that's all that matters."
"That sounds nice."
I don't know if it sounds good or not, but I will prove it with my actions.
"Third Brother, we've borrowed the cart."
"Yes, I borrowed it from the captain."
"Then let's load it onto the truck quickly."
"good"
"Comrade, could you also..."
"I'm sorry, I can't. I have limited time. After I finish transporting the grain for Mianmian, I need to go up the mountain to prepare firewood for her."
"But Comrade Li has prepared enough firewood; it's enough for the winter!"
"Yes, Jiaojiao is right."
But I feel it's not enough.
"Third Brother, let's go back."
"good"
"Who is it? Or is it a comrade from the People's Liberation Army?"
Instead of wasting time making sarcastic remarks, why not hurry up and move the grain?
"you"
"Okay, let's get moving."
"But how are we supposed to move all of these?!"
"Liu, the educated youth, let me help you."
"Thank you, Comrade Zhou."
"You're welcome"
"snort"
"Alright, hurry up and find someone to move it. Food is the most important thing right now."
When did Third Brother get back?
"I came back a couple of days ago, just finished the handover, and since I have the day off today, I came to check on things."
"That was quite a coincidence, it happened right when the grain was being distributed."
"Is it a coincidence? I don't think so."
"I heard you left all your packages at the military base."
"Yes, you can go pick it up after you finish work early every now and then."
"Alright, I just saw that these educated youths don't seem like very good people, so don't get too close to them in the future."
"Know"
After finishing his meal here, Third Brother went into the mountains to chop a few loads of firewood and then left.
From then on, the female comrades in the educated youth compound would often wander around their doorway, whether they had something to do or not.
But the weather got colder and colder, and they didn't come back until after it snowed.
But unexpectedly, a large group of educated youth came to the production team at the end of the year. No one knew if they were too excited or what, but people kept coming over wanting to team up with them. In any case, the group pretended not to understand.
