Ling Yunjue lay on the kang (a heated brick bed), thinking of Ye Zhaoyu.
This was the first time he had ever met a woman like this—novel, quirky, and sometimes remarkably dignified, like a lady from a respectable family.
I don't know how Aunt Ye taught her to raise such a unique girl.
On the other side, Huo Jian'an tried to start a fire, but it didn't get going for a long time.
The meal was not prepared.
The brother and sister could only eat a few pieces of peach shortbread and drink a cup of malted milk powder before they quickly went to sleep.
Ye Zhaoyu slept very well all night without any dreams.
"Get up! This morning I made steamed eggs and hawthorn porridge. Finish brushing your teeth and come eat with me." Ling Yunjue felt that seeing Ye Zhaoyu made for a wonderful day.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Huo Jianhong had been waiting outside Ling Yunjue's door for a long time. She saw Ling Yunjue get up early to cook for Ye Zhaoyu and even boil water for her to brush her teeth and wash her face.
The two ignored Huo Jianhong, who was not far away, and finished their breakfast chatting and laughing.
The two rode their bicycles to the county town.
Bang.
Huo Jianhong watched the two of them ride away on their bicycles, her eyes red with anger.
Why? Why did someone else beat her to the man she had been waiting for since she was seven?
"Brother, Brother Ling and the others have gone to the county town. We need to go there too. Hurry up!" Huo Jianhong urged, standing next to Huo Jian'an.
Huo Jian'an wanted to have some hot porridge, but when he heard that Ye Zhaoyu and the others were going to the county town, he thought, "What's the point of drinking? I need to go after them first. What if they're going to get their marriage certificate?"
They packed their things, grabbed Huo Jianhong, and quickly left.
Huo Jian'an and his sister arrived just in time; the bus to the county town had just come by.
Ling Yunjue and Ye Zhaoyu happened to be on the same bus.
"Comrade Ye, you sit inside, I'll sit outside to protect you." There were quite a few people on the bus, only a few seats left.
Ling Yunjue quickly grabbed two seats close to the window, leaving the window seat for Ye Zhaoyu.
"Thank you, Brother Yun. You're so kind to me." Ye Zhaoyu, in her tea-girl mode, with a pair of clamps in her throat, thanked Ling Yunjue with affection in her eyes.
Huo Jianan followed behind Ye Zhaoyu, watching the two exchange flirtatious glances in public.
Ye Zhaoyu had never spoken to him so shyly before.
Ye Zhaoyu has truly fallen in love with Ling Yunjue, which is why she displays the shyness typical of a young woman.
Huo Jianan clenched his fists, having already made up his mind.
Over there, Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue were thanking each other in voices as if they had just put the traps on each other.
Huo Jian'an and Huo Jianhong stood to the side, the man glaring angrily at Ling Yunjue, and the woman glaring angrily at Ye Zhaoyu, as if the two sitting down had cuckolded the two standing down.
Don't worry, this scene is extremely strange. Every time people get on or off the bus, they look at the four of them with curiosity.
The people on the bus glanced at them furtively, and while they weren't looking, they secretly discussed the dramatic ethical drama involving the four of them with their companions.
Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue are both very thick-skinned and don't care about anything. Apart from verbal concern, they didn't have much physical contact.
Outside the scope of the crime of hooliganism.
We finally made it to the county town.
Ling Yunjue unloaded the bicycle from the back of the car and drove Ye Zhaoyu away from Huo Jian'an.
"What should we do first?" Ling Yunjue asked Ye Zhaoyu.
"Let's go see a movie first! After the movie, we'll have dinner, then go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things, and then go home."
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Huo Jianan followed Ling Yunjue and the others from a distance. When he saw them going to the movie theater, he immediately bought two tickets and followed them inside.
After buying movie tickets, Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue bought sunflower seeds and orange soda.
The people behind followed.
Ye Zhaoyu whispered in Ling Yunjue's ear, "The other side is pretty strong. Huo Jian'an doesn't suspect anything at all."
No one could see Ye Zhaoyu's mouth shape; all that could be seen was that Ling Yunjue smiled even more brightly after Ye Zhaoyu left.
I don't know what that young girl said to him that made him so happy.
Throughout the day, Ye Zhaoyu and Ling Yunjue did everything that any couple in love would do.
Huo Jianan and his sister followed behind the two, their faces contorted with anger.
His eyes were bloodshot, clearly indicating excessive liver fire.
Just in time, the two took a car back to the village.
In the car, Ling Yunjue asked Ye Zhaoyu, "How was it? Did you have fun? If you did, let's go to the county town again before we officially start work."
"It's fun, but it costs money. It's okay if you don't come." Ye Zhaoyu had been speaking with a clip in her throat all day, and she was getting used to it.
"It's okay, my dad will take us back to the city once he calms down. Then I'll work and earn money to support you!" Ling Yunjue patted Ye Zhaoyu's head.
"Yes, I really hope Uncle's anger will subside soon, so I won't have to work in the fields."
“If you don’t want to work in the fields, remarry me, and I’ll take you with me to the army. Then you won’t have to work in the fields anymore. Ling Yunjue has been abandoned by his family. He has three younger brothers who are half-brothers. Do you think his stepmother will give him a chance to return to the city? Come with me, and I’ll make sure you live a life of luxury.” Huo Jian’an asked for remarriage, his eyes fixed on Ye Zhaoyu.
A hint of hesitation flashed in Ye Zhaoyu's eyes, but she still said firmly, "I only love Brother Yun, and I will not remarry you."
Huo Jianan saw the struggle in Ye Zhaoyu's eyes. It was fine if she was struggling; if something unexpected happened, she would only have to choose me, and I wouldn't be given a hard time.
Huo Jianan only had five days of vacation left, and it would take time to complete the departure procedures. He thought for a while and decided to make his move tomorrow.
