Chapter 299 Comrade Yan, remember to report your marriage!
Gu Yuehuai blinked his eyelashes slightly, but he didn't seem to be panicking. He walked to Yan Shaoyu and asked, "Why aren't you asleep?"
Yan Shaoyu looked up at her, his thin lips curved slightly, and said honestly, "I can't sleep."
"Here, take this." Gu Yuehuai generously handed him the wrapped ginseng in his hand.
"What is this?" Yan Shaoyu raised his eyebrows slightly, opened the newspaper and took a look, slightly stunned.
Gu Yuehuai curved his eyebrows and said in a tone that seemed to be neither true nor false: "I just dug it up from the mountain some time ago and have been burying it in the backyard. It is said that a poor family becomes rich on the road. Since you are going on a long journey, I will give it to you. Well...consider it as a betrothal gift."
"Dowry?" Yan Shaoyu was slightly stunned, but after he reacted, a smile appeared in his eyes.
Gu Yuehuai patted his shoulder seriously: "Yes, don't worry, I will treat you well."
Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes and looked at the two ginsengs in his hand. He was not an ignorant bumpkin. Ginsengs like this with complete roots and properly preserved were very valuable. If they were sent to a consignment office, they would be worth a lot of money.
When Yan Shaoyu was about to speak, Gu Yuehuai said unhappily, "You don't want it? Are you rejecting my betrothal gift?"
Yan Shaoyu paused for a moment, and organized his words a little: "I accept the betrothal gift, but can you keep the property?"
Gu Yuehuai glanced at him sideways, moved a stool and sat down next to him, and said lightly: "No, keep it well. Mountain ginseng replenishes qi and blood, it is a good thing. I will feel more at ease if you take it with you. If you don't take it, then don't leave."
Yan Shaoyu wanted to say something, but when he thought of Gu Yuehuai's persistence, he suddenly smiled and silently put the ginseng into his pocket.
He glanced at Gu Yuehuai and said softly, "I will protect myself, don't worry."
Gu Yuehuai couldn't help feeling depressed when he thought about the separation tomorrow, but he didn't say anything and just nodded silently.
The sadness of parting lingered around the two of them, and even the atmosphere seemed much more depressed.
Yan Shaoyu stared at Gu Yuehuai with his narrow and beautiful peach blossom eyes. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, he pursed his lips slightly, stretched out his hand to wrap her fingers in his palm, and said in a clear voice with a gentleness like the spring breeze: "I will write to you."
Hearing this, she looked up at him, barely suppressed the bitterness in her throat, and whispered, "Okay."
Yan Shaoyu held her hand and looked towards the mountain village covered in snow. His voice was a little low: "I don't know why. We haven't known each other for long, but I always feel like we are very familiar with each other. It seems that this is how it should be."
Gu Yuehuai was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
Yes, it should have been like this. There were too many people and things standing between the two of them in their previous life, and they were not destined to be together. But in this life, everything finally went well, and being together became a matter of course.
Gu Yuehuai cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Comrade Yan, remember to file a marriage report as soon as possible."
She urged him to get married without blushing, and Yan Shaoyu's smile deepened, and he replied: "Okay! I will pick you up as soon as possible."
Gu Yuehuai looked at his happy expression and relaxed her brows slightly. Although their time together was short and they were about to part, there were many things to do in life and one could not just indulge in love.
Yan Shaoyu has his responsibilities, and she has things she needs to do. As long as they are united in mind, they can overcome all difficulties.
One day, they can live an ordinary life like an ordinary couple.

At dawn, Gu Yuehuai and Yan Shaoyu left the Dalaozi Production Brigade together.
He did not say goodbye to Yan Shaoyang and Yan Shaoli and left quietly.
Qing'an County Railway Station.
Yan Shaoyu was going to Province H. The journey was long and he needed to change trains along the way, so it would take several days to arrive.
Everything that needed to be said had been said last night. Gu Yuehuai stood on the platform, watching Yan Shaoyu get on the train. He watched his tall figure disappear in the crowd, but he couldn't help it, and tears welled up in his dark eyes.
She lowered her eyes, let out a light breath, and tried hard not to let the tears fall.
After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
At this moment, she suddenly noticed a dark shadow in front of her. She was stunned for a moment, and before she could react, she was embraced by a pair of strong arms. The arms were very strong, and the familiar clear breath made her throat even more choked.
"Wait for me." Yan Shaoyu lowered his eyes and looked at her for a moment, then said two words and got on the train with his luggage.
This time, he didn't look back.
Gu Yuehuai wiped away the tears in his eyes, the corners of his lips slightly curved, and his cat-like eyes curved into crescents.
Yan Shaoyu, I will miss you and wait for you.

As the train went away, Gu Yuehuai took a deep breath, regrouped, and prepared to welcome the new life after Yan Shaoyu left.
When she returned to the commune's mass daily newspaper unit, the streets were already bustling.
The educated youth from the Dalaozi Production Brigade are now staying in the homes of other members. She and Pei Yi can no longer get close to the lives of the educated youth. Instead of wasting time staying in the brigade, it is better for them to go back to work.
Gu Yuehuai's return to the unit attracted a lot of attention, especially the third editorial group.
She had only worked in the company for over a month when she left. Everyone had just gotten to know each other when they separated. Now that she is back, the atmosphere in the third editing group has changed a lot. However, no matter what others think, everyone appears to be welcoming.
The happiest ones among them are Wan Qinglan and Huang Binbin. They are three teams that cooperate closely.
Wan Qinglan shook her ponytail and said, "I was wondering when you would be back. Now it's all right."
Huang Binbin winked and said, "Yue Huai, how is it? Is it easy to communicate with those educated youth from the capital?"
Gu Yuehuai smiled and didn't face the question directly. He sorted out the scattered documents and drawing papers on the table and asked, "Is there any big news in the unit recently? When I came here just now, I saw that everyone was in a hurry and seemed very busy."
Huang Binbin was slightly surprised: "You don't know?"
As soon as he finished asking, he remembered that Gu Yuehuai had not been here for a while, and there was no way to get information in the countryside. He was shocked and whispered, "Big news from the Liuzhi Brigade!"
Hearing this, Gu Yuehuai raised the corners of her eyes slightly. She knew the news about the Willow Branch Brigade.
"The secretary of the Liuzhi Brigade died suddenly. Later, someone went to the police station to report that the Liuzhi Brigade was suspected of human trafficking and multiple murders. So, they teamed up with the Masses Daily to start reporting on the incident."
Huang Binbin finished speaking in an exaggerated tone, waiting to see Gu Yuehuai's shocked expression.
However, he waited for a long time, his expression became stiff, and Gu Yuehuai only said "Oh" slowly.
Wan Qinglan glanced at Huang Binbin complacently, and said with some pride: "Haha, I let you show off, do you think Yue Huai is an ordinary person? Why do you tell her about the dirty things of Liuzhi Brigade? Anyway, it is not under the jurisdiction of our third group."
