Luo Lin had the best family background among this group of educated youth, but he was very friendly and not as arrogant and unapproachable as Lu Deyin Huaping. He had a good relationship with everyone.

Everyone became curious and someone immediately asked, "When did this happen? How come we didn't know about it? Who does Luo Lin like?"

Han Xiaorui knew that Luo Lin was shy, so she smiled mysteriously and refused to say anything more.

As a result, Jiang Quan laughed twice, "You only need to think about who Luo Lin liked to help the most when he was in Yunnan, and you will know."

"When in Yunnan? He helped everyone. Don't we all help each other?" Qi Song was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully. "If you want to say who he helped specifically, it seemed to be Xiao Ajun! When winter came, Deping couldn't get up, so he got up early in the morning to help Xiao Ajun fetch water. I was wondering at that time, Luo Lin, who didn't even go to the kitchen at home, why did he get up so early to fetch water? He told me that it was cold and he couldn't sleep. Could it be that you mean that?"

Qi Song took a deep breath and said, "You mean, Luo Lin likes Ajun?"

"You just realized it now? We realized it a long time ago. Right after Ajun broke up with Deping, Luo Lin arranged a gathering for the educated youth. Do you think he did it to see us? He did it to see his sweetheart." Jiang Quan laughed.

Everyone started laughing, but this smile was neither mocking nor disdainful, it was just pure ridicule.

Suddenly, everyone's smiles became ambiguous.

"What's the matter? Why are you all laughing like that?" Lin Minjun came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of rice noodles and saw that everyone was smiling meaningfully.

Han Xiaorui stood up immediately and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. The rice noodles are ready, don't bother with them, I'll bring them over and we can eat together."

Several male educated youth were also very considerate and took the initiative to go into the kitchen to bring back the clay pot. Everyone sat around a table and ate together, eating the hot Yunnan-style food. It seemed as if they were back on the farm, and everyone missed it very much.

Lin Minjun looked at the group of people suspiciously, "What's wrong? I heard you guys talking heatedly in the kitchen, but when I came out, you stopped talking."

Everyone still winked at each other and laughed dully.

Lin Minjun simply didn't mention it and sat down to chat with everyone, talking about family matters. She also asked why Luo Lin didn't come. When everyone heard her ask this, they winked at each other and smiled meaningfully.

What!

We chatted from dawn till dusk. A purple-red sunset glowed across the horizon. The sky was half black and half purple-red. It was already evening.

In the evening, Luo Lin finally arrived, riding a brand new bicycle and parked in front of the store. He got off the bike and greeted us with a smile, "Ajun, congratulations."

Lin Minjun stood up and greeted them. Before she could say anything, Jiang Quan slapped the table and laughed strangely, "Okay, Luo Lin, there are so many of us sitting here, but you didn't see us. You only saw Ah Jun, right?"

Luo Lin's face was unnatural, and he gripped the handlebars of his bicycle. "Ajun's new store is opening today, and I came to congratulate him. I must talk to the owner first."

"That's right. If I don't tell Ajun, should I tell you first? Jiang Quan, even rice noodles can't stop you from talking. Eat your meal!" Qi Song immediately glared at Jiang Quan.

Zhao Ning came out with the pig's trotters in his hand, a little surprised, "Luo Lin, did you change your bike? This one is so new."

This reminded Luo Lin. He looked at Lin Minjun seriously and said, "Ah Jun, today is your opening day. I don't have anything good to give you. I'll give you this bicycle. Sooner or later, you won't have to ride a tricycle anymore. This is faster."

When he said this, his ears turned almost red, and he mustered up the courage to look at Lin Minjun.

But Lin Minjun was shocked. "How can I do this? Bicycles are very expensive now. I need a ticket to buy one. How can I accept it?"

"It's okay. I happen to have an extra ticket at home. You can take it." When Luo Lin picked up the bicycle, it was as easy as picking cabbages at the market.

Lin Minjun: "Even if it's extra from your family, it won't do, Luo Lin. Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't give it to me. We are friends. I am already very grateful that you come to liven up my party. I absolutely won't take this bicycle. It's too expensive! It's not that I don't appreciate it, it's just that it's too expensive."

Lin Minjun had thought about buying a bicycle before, but now you need a ticket to buy a bicycle, and most tickets are only issued by official units. Once people get the bicycle ticket, they buy it for themselves, so how could they give it to others?

There are bicycle tickets in the pigeon market, but they are extremely expensive.

The first thing Luo Lin bought her was a brand new Phoenix bicycle, but it was too expensive and she couldn't afford it.

Lin Minjun refused clearly and said firmly that she didn't want it.

Luo Lin was also very firm in his attitude. Seeing that Lin Minjun said it was expensive, he simply said, "Then I won't give it to you. I'll just lend it to you. Sooner or later you will have to travel so far to open a shop. It's much more convenient to ride a bicycle."

Luo Lin just offered a bicycle, and the educated youth were all shocked. No one said anything at that time. Now he changed his words and said he wanted to lend it to them. Everyone laughed and said, "It's okay to lend it to you, Jun. You can accept it now. Riding a bicycle every day is both cool and comfortable."

Jiang Quan was covered by Qi Song's mouth, and he was howling from behind, "Promise it, Jun. If you don't agree, I will. I want to borrow it but no one has lent it to me."

Lin Minjun felt a little headache. "But I can't accept the reward without doing anything. How can I lend you such a new bike? Actually, it doesn't matter. I have a younger brother. He comes to the store to accompany me after school every day. We go home together, and it's not dangerous on the road."

"Besides, you have helped me a lot when we were in Yunnan, and it was you who brought me to the capital. How can I accept your help with peace of mind? Take it back, Luo Lin." Lin Minjun said again.

Luo Lin looked at Lin Minjun, and for a moment, he especially wanted to express his feelings for her impulsively, to tell her everything, so that Lin Minjun could accept his kindness to her with peace of mind, just like she accepted Deping before.

But when the words came to his lips, Luo Lin couldn't say them. He was shy and easily timid, unlike Deping who could let go.

Feeling conflicted and embarrassed at the same time, Luo Lin's face tensed up.

The educated youth were still making ambiguous noises just now, but when they saw Luo Lin's expression, they all shut up without waiting for him to say anything, knowing what was going on and stopped talking.

The store immediately became quiet, with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing the dead leaves at the door.

Lin Minjun took the initiative to break the silence, "Okay, I really know your good intentions, but I really can't accept it. I can't just accept your things so righteously."

She pushed Luo Lin into the store and said, "You're late. The last batch of rice noodles has been eaten up. I'll make you tofu rice noodles with salted pig's feet. Isn't this your favorite? Wait, I'll make it for you."

After just a few words, Rowling's expression softened. He obediently parked his bike on the side and sat at the table to chat with everyone.

"Ajun still has a way." Jiang Quan was still talking nonsense and was about to make a few more teasing remarks when he suddenly cried out.

Rowling stepped hard on his foot under the table!

Luo Lin came, and everyone gathered around him to chat and asked him what he was doing recently. When they learned that Luo Lin was preparing for the college entrance examination, they started to talk about this year's college entrance examination questions, thinking that Luo Lin might know more information, and they also talked about the college entrance examination review materials.

"My mother asked someone to buy me a lot of review materials. I will copy them out and share them with you. We all have to take the college entrance examination, so we should help each other and it would be best if we all get into college." Luo Lin said gently.

At this time, even Jiang Quan, who loved to talk nonsense, refused, "Copying is too expensive, we can just take it and copy it when the time comes."

Outside, the bustle had returned to its previous state. When Lin Minjun heard them talking about the college entrance examination and university, she felt a little excited. She wanted to go to school once the store was settled down, and of course it would be best if she could continue her studies.

While thinking about school, I was cooking rice noodles in the kitchen. In the casserole was caramel-colored halved pork elbow, the skin of which had been stewed until soft and glutinous. After a while, I put it directly on the rice noodles and poured a spoonful of stewed pig's feet soup on it. It was greasy. The skin of the pig's feet was the most delicious, soft and glutinous, fatty but not greasy.

For this batch of rice noodles, Lin Minjun still made more and spent quite some time on it, making more varieties. Anyway, everyone hadn’t eaten enough just now, so she made more to try the flavors.

While I was busy, Zhao Ning came in.

"Why are you coming in?" Lin Minjun said with a smile.

Zhao Ning: "We are here to celebrate for you. How can we let you work alone in the kitchen? I will come in and help you."

"Then you can help me watch the heat. When the rice noodles are cooked, you can call me. I will go cut some chives."

Lin Minjun grabbed the chives and cut them into sections.

The table for cutting vegetables was placed next to the stove. The kitchen was small, so the smoke escaped but the heat could not. It was early spring and green buds had just appeared on the branches, but Lin Minjun was sweating profusely, with a thin layer of sweat covering the tip of her nose.

Zhao Ning glanced at Lin Minjun quietly and asked tentatively: "Ajun, do you know why Luo Lin gave you a bicycle?"

"He's a nice guy. He always helped me with work in my hometown." Lin Minjun said without hesitation.

Zhao Ning was helpless, "Not only is he a good person, but he only helps you among so many female educated youth. Have you ever thought about why?"

Lin Minjun looked confused, still cutting leeks, "Why?"

"Silly girl, Luo Lin likes you, can't you see? He is interested in you." Zhao Ning looked disappointed, "What about you, do you like him or not? How do you feel about him?"

Lin Minjun still had blank eyes, and she was very confused, "Like? You said Luo Lin likes me, what does like mean?"

She really doesn't know what liking is, and even love seems very far away to her.

Because when she was with Lu Deping in her last life, she was only eighteen or nineteen years old, and she was slow to open up. She was with Lu Deping before she understood what love was. Later, she went to the capital, and was diagnosed with infertility. So she spent the next ten years running around to see doctors.

Lin Minjun has always believed that love is just like what is shown in TV dramas and movies, passionate and involving separation of life and death.

She and Lu Deping are definitely not.

"You don't know what love is?" Zhao Ning said helplessly, "Then how did you get together with Lu Deping in the first place?"
