In the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone down and fell on the man not far away. He looked sacred and tall.
Deng Zhilan trotted over and immediately held Wei Yanzhen's hand. She turned around and made sure there was no one around before she felt safe and bold enough to be intimate with him.
"Why are you here? Did you come to pick me up?"
"Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"I was the last person to be interviewed. After everyone in front of me had left, it was my turn."
Wei Yanzhen had a gentle smile on his face and said softly, "Don't wait long, let's go home."
Deng Zhilan happily walked side by side with him.
The two of them went together.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw an exquisitely shaped cream-covered cake on the table in the main room!!
It instantly attracted Deng Zhilan's attention.
The snow-white cream of the cake was as delicate as clouds, with colorful cream used to outline exquisite ridges on it. A bright red raspberry was dotted in the middle, exuding an attractive luster.
Deng Zhilan's eyes widened in surprise.
This was the 70s, and many people had never even seen what a cake was.
You know, in this era of relative material scarcity, cream-filled cakes are simply a luxury.
She couldn't help but murmur: "This... this is too exquisite!"
Wei Yanzhen looked at her and smiled even more. "If you like it, then so be it. Mom taught me today. This is a cake I made especially for you."
Deng Zhilan was filled with shock.
"You did it?"
Wei Yanzhen nodded.
“Whether you pass the test today or not, your participation is a victory.”
"Here, the cake is to congratulate you for not being stage frightened and not being a deserter!"
In this era when everyone is working hard to make ends meet, Wei Yanzhen made such a cake.
I wonder how many eggs I used and how much thought I put into it, just to please her.
Deng Zhilan's heart was filled with ripples, and she had a deeper understanding of Wei Yanzhen's sincerity.
Her eyes were slightly red, she stood on tiptoe and kissed Wei Yanzhen gently on the cheek, "Thank you, Yanzhen, I like it very much."
Wei Yanzhen was made a little shy by her sudden action, and his ears turned slightly red, but he couldn't hide the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Wei Yanzhen walked into the kitchen, took out the knives from the cupboard, then went to the main room to prepare to cut the cake.
Deng Zhilan watched his actions from the side, her heart filled with sweetness.
"Come, have a taste of my cooking."
Wei Yanzhen cut a piece of cake and handed it to Deng Zhilan's mouth. Deng Zhilan took a light bite. The sweet cream spread in her mouth. The delicate taste made her squint her eyes.
"I'm so happy, old man, you are a genius!"
Wei Yanzhen looked at her satisfied expression and felt very happy.
The two sat at the dining table, eating cake and sharing the process of the exam. A warm atmosphere filled the whole house.
…
By the time Zhu Qinghan arrived at the educated youth point, it was already dark.
She was also shocked that Song Yitao came to take the exam, and Luo Yisen was the interviewer.
If Luo Yisen helps Song Yitao through the back door, Deng Zhilan will not be a threat to her, but Song Yitao will be the threat!!
"How about it? Qinghan, do you feel confident?"
Li Zhenzhen and Sun Fangfang immediately surrounded her, their eyes full of anticipation, as if she was the turning point of their destiny.
“I think I did OK on the test.”
"But..."
"But what? Qinghan, tell me now!"
Zhu Qinghan frowned deeply:
"But, the production team leader Luo Yisen is the interviewer, and his wife Song Yitao is also participating in this recruitment!"
