After those people left, the educated youth compound became much quieter.
Even the arrival of Huang Feiyan and Cao Bing did not cause much of a stir at the educated youth compound.
The two main people were acquainted with Su Xiao.
In fact, Su Xiao also noticed that since some people left, everyone in the educated youth compound seemed to be very polite to her.
Su Xiao's suspicions were confirmed when she received Shang Ziming's second letter.
When Shang Zimu left, he gave some people a warning.
Su Xiao placed the letter on the table, looked at it, and didn't open it for a long time.
"Sigh..." With a sigh, she picked up the letter in one go, quickly tore it open, and began to read it rapidly.
In the days that followed, Su Xiao had learned indirectly about some of the things that had happened during the time she was gone.
For example, a visitor named Qin Wan came to the educated youth compound.
Qin Wan was immediately pursued by many unmarried men in the educated youth compound and even the entire village upon her arrival, while the girls were secretly jealous.
Who can blame her for being so beautiful?
Qin Wan is Shang Ziming's cousin. If he pleases her, will he be able to please Shang Ziming?
The answer is no.
During that period, the educated youth compound was quite lively.
When Su Xiao first learned that the young lady was Shang Ziming's cousin, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
The young lady had only been staying in the village for a few days when a military vehicle suddenly arrived. The soldiers spoke with Shang Ziming and his group for a while, then left that same day, taking Qin Wan with them.
Su Xiao put the letter away, placed it together with the first letter, and huddled it in the cabinet.
The letter recounted some events that had occurred since he returned home, inquired about her well-being, and concluded with an expression of his hope for her reply.
Su Xiao hesitated before replying.
He took out a letter and a pen, wrote the three characters "Shang Zimu", and then, for a moment, didn't know how to begin.
After dawdling for an hour, Su Xiao had only filled one page. Unable to continue, she hastily put down her pen and sighed.
She delayed sending that one reply for three days.
As she wrote the letter, looking at the military region address on the envelope, she sighed again.
In a military region in Kyoto, Shang Ziming, dressed in military uniform, sat upright behind his desk, working with a serious and meticulous expression.
"Knock knock".
"Please come in."
The door opened, and Officer Kobayashi walked in carrying a stack of documents. He put the documents aside and took out a letter from the top. "Sir, there is a letter for you."
The person who was completely focused suddenly looked up.
He appeared calm and collected, but his hand speed was definitely fast-forwarded.
He opened the letter and found only a thin sheet, which disappointed him somewhat, as he had always written three sheets in the past.
He thought to himself that he should remind her at the end of his next letter that future replies should start with three pages.
He finished reading the paper in a few quick glances, then savored it for a moment before reading it again, his eyes glued to a particular passage.
Bowen left a while ago, but two new educated youths have arrived, and they're actually my classmates. One is my best friend; I'm so happy she's here, at least I'll have someone to keep me company. The other is a top student at our school—handsome, good-natured, and from a good family; he's very popular with the girls at school. I wonder why he chose to be sent to the countryside.
Why?
As Shang Zimu pondered, a sense of crisis arose within him, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
After a while, he sighed slightly, put away the letter, picked up another letter, and began to reply, writing another three pages.
Su Xiao received another letter in September, when the busy farming season had begun.
