Chapter 222 Isn't That Perfect?
"I was thinking, I will also take part in your potion test next. Then we will have a rare opportunity to work together. Wouldn't we have more time together every day?"
He smiled as he spoke. He was indeed very happy about this. Although their relationship had become much closer, there had not actually been much progress.
After all, they each go to work during the day, and the only time they can meet is at night.
It's impossible for us to be together all night. We can stay in the living room for a while to chat or read a book, and then we have to go to bed. Therefore, Ye Mu had to test the potion with him, and also train them personally. Maybe he could even show off his skills in front of her.
Isn’t that just perfect?
How could someone not want to perform well in front of his or her sweetheart? Song Yanzhou thought that he was also such a clichéd person.
I have always wanted to find an opportunity to show my other strengths in front of Ye Mu. The only time I wanted to sing to her to put her to sleep, I was rejected.
Let her see how excellent his professional ability is.
In the past, he would not be too happy about his high professional quality. As the saying goes, when you are full, you will overflow. People should learn to be humble so as not to get carried away by success.
After all, people can always continue to improve, and the present can become the past at any time.
There are always people better than you in this world, and after meeting Ye Mu, Song Yanzhou has a deeper understanding of this.
He wants to pursue higher abilities.
But at this moment, the thought of being able to show off his skills and get her praise made him feel particularly proud and happy.
Currently, there are very few people in the army who can match him, and there is no one who completely surpasses him. With such strength, Ye Mu should be able to praise him, right?
Although she is talented in every aspect...
Song Yanzhou suddenly became less sure.
When Ye Mu was coming back to his senses and not so sure, he spoke again:
"Oh, about that. You're right. When we train in secret, at least we'll see each other every day."
See how she defeats these aces in the army.
Thinking about that scene, Ye Mu felt better.
After she finished speaking, she took a bite of her food with a smile on her lips. Song Yanzhou felt that there was something else behind her words.
He trusted his instincts, but he didn't ask. He would know what she meant by that when the time came.

Qin Qingfeng looked at Du Sijia standing in front of him and felt a headache again. He said:
"It's not easy for the country and the army to train you. You just want to retire. What's that? If it was a problem with your hand, I wouldn't stop you. But your hand has healed with the help of Ye Mu's medicine. There is no problem at all. What reason do you have to retire?"
"It's impossible to retire. You can't just quit our army casually. Do you understand? This is a special training. Song Yanzhou and I often tell you that after joining this army, many things are no longer up to you."
"It's impossible for you to retire because of family matters, but I will take a step back and grant you half a month's leave. I will give you all your remaining leave in advance so that you can go home and take care of your family affairs."
Qin Qingfeng knew what Du Sijia's family was like, so he couldn't say anything. He could only let Du Sijia go back and solve the problem herself so as not to hinder her future.
Du Sijia was silent. She did want to go home to deal with family issues, but this was also the reason why she wanted to retire from the army.
You have to retire sooner or later, so it is better to retire early and not bring discredit to the People's Army.
But she couldn't say too much, otherwise Qin Qingfeng would definitely stop her.
Only she herself knows that some things will never develop in the way she wishes.
Du Sijia thought about it and nodded, saying:
"Captain Qin, I'll write a leave request and go home first."
Seeing that he had stumped the person, Qin Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief. After approving her leave, he turned around and went to discuss the matter with Kong Pingzhang.
He could see that Du Sijia had not given up her idea yet.
Daliu Village, Y Province
A figure carrying a bamboo basket came back slowly from the back mountain, passed through the bamboo forest path full of mosquitoes, and turned around to approach the house living near the mountain in the village.
She filled her bamboo basket with wild vegetables and returned to the village. The villagers she met on the way were no longer surprised by this educated youth going to the mountains to pick wild vegetables. Young children in the village would also go there. Seeing that she had picked quite a lot, someone asked:
"Have you picked all the wild vegetables on this mountain, Zhao Zhiqing?"
Then he looked up and down at Zhao Zhiqing in front of him. When she came to their village as an educated youth, she was the oldest. Now she is in her thirties, but after doing farm work in the village for so many years, she is still not much tanned. She just can't get tanned.
It only gets a little darker in one year, not noticeable at all. After covering yourself up in the winter, it becomes whiter the next year.
In addition, Zhao Zhiqing's family was probably quite wealthy, and the villagers had never seen her short of money. Sometimes she even helped to lend money to people in the village. Therefore, she had a good relationship with the good-tempered and honest villagers in the village.
But she is already in her thirties. Some of the female educated youth younger than her have married people in the village, but she doesn't even have a partner in the village. Doesn't she look down on those rural people?
Therefore, over the years, there have been many villagers who secretly have dissatisfaction with Zhao Zhiqing.
Some people know that she is rich and they wish their sons could marry her home, so that they won't be short of money anymore, right?
Some people just think that there must be something wrong with a woman who is not married in her thirties.
The educated youth Zhao who was being questioned by the villagers was named Zhao Wanwan. She had heard the rumors about her in the village, but she just laughed it off and didn't take it to heart. At this time, she smiled at the villagers who were asking the question and said:
"I have skinny arms and legs, how can I pull all the vegetables by myself? The kids in the village are much more capable than me. It's just that there are a few more wild vegetables during the autumn harvest, and I want to have a bite."
She had never eaten wild vegetables before becoming an educated youth, but after becoming an educated youth, she found that some wild vegetables were really delicious, and they tasted really good as long as they were cooked well.
After exchanging a few words with the villagers, Zhao Wanwan returned to the educated youth site.
The educated youth each cooked their own meals. Zhao Wanwan prepared her own meal first, then ate half of it and put the remaining half in a lunch box so that no one could see it.
After working in the fields for a long day, Zhao Wanwan washed his hands casually by the river, then returned to the educated youth site carrying a backpack and going out, saying that he was going to collect firewood and fallen leaves from the forest to burn.
This was very common in rural areas where people burned firewood. There were only a few educated youths left in the educated youth center in Daliu Village. Many of them couldn't hold on and started dating people in the village, got married and started a family. So no one paid much attention to Zhao Wanwan's backpack and just asked her to come back early.
Zhao Wanwan was hungry, so she put some dead leaves at the bottom of her backpack, hiding the half box of lunch left over from her lunch.
When she reached the mountain, she walked toward a direction first, then came to the entrance of a cave and threw a small stone with a cloth strip on it into the cave. Suddenly, a woman came out from inside.
The woman was in a very miserable situation. She hid in a cave during the day, and when it got dark at night she went to a small Bodhisattva temple on the side of the road to sleep.
It was actually quite scary and extremely dangerous, but there was nothing she could do.
Zhao Wanwan gave her the meal and some money and said:
"You still have to find a way to leave here, otherwise you will be found sooner or later."
"Sister Wanwan, I want to, too, but I can only wait for news from Sijia. It's just me and you. I can't run away. I'll be found even if I go to the county."
"Keep the money first. It will definitely help you at a critical moment." Zhao Wanwan watched her eat and could only sigh. She had been in the countryside for so many years and had seen a lot of things. Even her anger had been worn away.
But she still believed in her heart, and she had to comfort Du Siyu so that she could hold on:
"Life is full of disappointments, so you have to be careful. I will quietly deliver food to you every day, but sometimes I can't. Remember not to run around."
"If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world. If I can go home, I will definitely find a way to help girls like you who have been abandoned by their families."
Du Siyu chewed her food and suddenly cried silently, then said: "If... I can make it through this time, I must become someone like you, Sister Wanwan!"
