"Brother Yun, are you home? Sister Hong came to play with you?" After finding out where Ling Yunjue lived, Huo Jianhong immediately came over and pushed the door open without knocking.
"Hello, Comrade Huo," Ye Zhaoyu greeted with a smile.
"What are you doing here? And sitting on Brother Yun's bed? And covered with his blanket?" Huo Jianhong screamed, breaking down in fear.
These two people shared the same blanket.
"I told you, if you call me Brother Yun again, I'll hit you. Have you forgotten what I said?" Ling Yunjue stood in front of Huo Jianhong.
He found a small stick and smacked Huo Honghong in the mouth.
Before Huo Jianhong could recover from the shock, a sharp pain shot through her mouth as she saw Ling Yunjue hitting her own mouth with a wooden stick.
"Yun, Comrade Ling, how could you do this to me? We've been childhood sweethearts. Are you going to hit me for such a slut?" Huo Jianhong questioned Ling Yunjue with tears in her eyes.
Ling Yunjue slapped her again, warning, "If I hear you say anything bad about her again, I'll beat your mouth until it's swollen. Zhao Zhao isn't a bad woman; she's my favorite woman."
"You...you like married women so much? Fine, I'll get married and divorced right now, I want to be a married woman too." Huo Jianhong couldn't stand Ling Yunjue's attitude and ran away quickly.
"Comrade Ling is incredibly charming. Tell me, how long do you think she can resist coming to see you?" Ye Zhaoyu asked Ling Yunjue as she watched him run off into the distance.
"I don't know, I just wanted to take advantage of this mission to get this clingy person away from me. Could you help me out?" Ling Yunjue said to Ye Zhaoyu.
“Sure, you help me get rid of Huo Jian’an, and I’ll help you get rid of Huo Jianhong.” Ye Zhaoyu held out her hand to indicate that she was willing to cooperate.
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate." Ling Yunjue grabbed Ye Zhaoyu's soft hands.
Huo Jianan went to the brigade leader's house hoping to rent a house, but unfortunately all the independent houses had been rented out. If he wanted to stay, he could only stay in the educated youth collective dormitory.
Huo Jianan had no choice but to go back and think of another solution.
When I returned to the educated youth compound, I saw that Huo Jianhong had two marks on her mouth. I didn't know who had hit her. She was sitting in the main room crying.
Five or six female friends were around her, each offering a word of comfort, and occasionally they would interject with a few bad things about Ye Zhaoyu to cheer her up.
"Brother, you're back? Have you found a place to rent? I need to stay next to Comrade Yun... Ling." Huo Jianhong asked immediately when she saw Huo Jian'an return.
“All the houses are rented out, there are no single rooms available, so you can stay in the communal dormitory for educated youth! I’ll stay here for a few days and then go back to the army,” Huo Jian’an explained.
"No, I can't live in the dormitory. They all smell of poverty. How can they be worthy of being with me?" Huo Jianhong cried and insisted on living in a single dormitory.
The brother and sister were discussing things with no regard for anyone else. Several female educated youths turned pale when they heard Huo Jianhong's words and ignored her.
That evening, the educated youth in the educated youth compound did not cook for Huo Jian'an and his sister. They ate by themselves and then went back to clean up and prepare for bed.
When Huo Jianhong and Huo Jianan got hungry and wanted to go eat, they found that everyone had already finished eating and was getting ready to go to bed.
“Aren’t we all educated youth? Why don’t you cook for me? Why don’t you cook for me?” Huo Jianhong broke down in tears again.
"We're all so poor and we don't want to offend your pride, so we won't cook for you. You'll have to cook for yourself from now on!" the female educated youth said.
"You lowly people, you can't even cook, what else can you do?" Huo Jianhong shouted at the female educated youth who had spoken.
"Oh, I can also report you for bureaucracy, for trying to incite ethnic separatism, and for discriminating against farmers."
"Jianhong, that's enough. It's just eating, right? Other girls can do it, so why can't you? Go and cook something to eat." Huo Jian'an quickly scolded Huo Jianhong.
If reported, it will implicate the whole family.
"Brother, aren't you going to help me?" Huo Jianhong looked at Huo Jian'an with disbelief.
Huo Jian'an pulled Huo Lianhong to a corner and whispered, "Don't you want Ling Yunjue to see your gentle, virtuous, and wifely side?"
Huo Jianhong thought for a moment, then said, "I'll do it."
"Hey, aren't you going to cook dinner? In the countryside, people go to sleep as soon as it gets dark. Are you planning to cook in the dark?" Ye Zhaoyu suddenly appeared in front of the Huo siblings, making sarcastic remarks.
"Ye Zhaoyu, you wait and see. Comrade Ling will definitely choose me as his wife. You've never lifted a finger in the kitchen; no man would like a woman like that." Huo Jianhong finished speaking, straightened her back, and prepared to cook.
Ling Yunjue carried the freshly washed pots and pans past Huo Lianhong.
"Comrade Ling, thank you so much for today. You not only cooked for me, but you also didn't want me to wash the dishes. You're so good to me. What will I do without you in the future?" Ye Zhaoyu said in a teasy tone.
"I will always be by your side from now on. I will take care of all your meals and household chores for the rest of your life. As long as I am here, I will never let you cook or wash dishes," Ling Yunjue said affectionately.
"Yes, Comrade Ling, you're so good. I love a husband like you." Ye Zhaoyu looked at Ling Yunjue with starry eyes.
Ling Yunjue was captivated by Ye Zhaoyu's bright, sparkling eyes.
"Impossible, impossible, Comrade Ling, how could you cook for a woman, how could you wash dishes for a woman? You are a man of high birth, how could you do such vulgar things?" Huo Jianhong couldn't believe what she was hearing.
"Comrade Huo, you're overthinking it. In front of Comrade Ye, I'm just an ordinary person. I can only give her the best of everything." Ling Yunjue looked at Huo Jianhong and his expression changed instantly.
