Yang Laidi returned to the educated youth settlement in a daze.
Looking at her desperate state, Yu Lili asked, "You didn't manage to borrow any money, did you? No one will lend you money in your condition."
Zhao Weiguo, who had just returned from outside, had already made up his mind!
He returned to the male educated youth dormitory and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed) to sleep.
Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan read books when they had nothing to do at home.
Make something delicious.
Huo Junshan was worried that she would get bored staying at home, so he said, "Yanyan, let's go up the mountain! Let's go for a walk."
Yun Ningyan put down her book and smiled, "Okay! Let's go!"
Huo Junshan took her hand and started walking outside, but as soon as they reached the gate, they saw Xiao Zhenhua waiting there, about to knock.
What brings you here?
Huo Junshan glared at him irritably. This guy was here to freeload again!
Xiao Zhenhua laughed and said, "Where are you all going? I just came to check on things. Uncle Yun called my dad yesterday."
Yun Ningyan's eyes lit up: "Let's go up the mountain, tell me about it quickly."
Xiao Zhenhua said with a smile, "Don't mind if we go with you! We can see if we can catch a pheasant or something."
Looking into his wife's bright eyes, Huo Junshan knew she wanted to know what her father had said.
He had no choice but to say, "Alright! Let's go together!"
Today is Sunday, yesterday was Saturday, and Xiao Zhenhua went back to the county yesterday.
He couldn't wait to find Yun Ningyan as soon as he got back.
As the three reached the top of the mountain, Huo Junshan held Yun Ningyan's hand, repeatedly reminding her, "Yanyan, be careful, don't rush."
Xiao Zhenhua smiled and said, "Uncle Xiao called yesterday to ask about your situation. I happened to be home, so we just exchanged a few words."
"They are now settled and told you not to worry. They also said you can write to them or call them if you need anything."
"Yunlang and Yungan have all started working as planned."
Yun Ningyan nodded: "It's good, as long as things are stable."
She turned to Huo Junshan and said, "Go to the commune in a few days, I'll send some things to my parents."
Huo Junshan nodded.
The three of them didn't stay on the mountain for long before heading back.
Xiao Zhenhua certainly wanted to freeload a meal there, but Huo Junshan said, "Let's eat up front today, are you sure you want to go?"
Xiao Zhenhua!
If you don't want him to eat here, just say so. Why suggest eating in the front?
Are you kidding me?
However, he wisely left.
It's true that he likes Yun Ningyan, but he has always been very gentlemanly and would never intentionally ruin someone else's marriage.
Wouldn't that make him the other woman?
When he got home yesterday, his dad asked him, "Zhenhua, you like Ningning, don't you?"
Xiao Zhenhua nodded.
"I like her. She's fair-skinned and beautiful. Who wouldn't like her?"
Xiao Hongjun advised, "Son, Lao Yun came back late. If they had come back a year earlier, Huo wouldn't have been able to marry Ningning."
Xiao Hongjun noticed that his son was frequently glancing at Ningning while they were having dinner at the Huo family's house that day.
Xiao Zhenhua was a little confused. Why did his father say that?
"Dad, why do you say that? Even Uncle Yun and Aunt Wen can't make decisions about marriage!"
Xiao Hongjun chuckled twice: "You don't know, back when the old commander was still alive, I pestered him to arrange a marriage between you and Ningning when you were little!"
"However, this matter was only mentioned by the old leader and has not been implemented yet. The old leader has passed away, and so have they!"
Xiao Zhenhua was a little stunned. Did he and Ningning really have such a connection?
pity!
He and Ningning ultimately missed their chance.
He felt that he used to be very close to Ningning, but now he was too far away from her!
"Dad! Why didn't you tell me sooner? What's the point of telling me now? If you had told me earlier, I would have gone to the Red Star Brigade long ago."
Xiao Hongjun picked up his water glass and took two sips: "I'm telling you this because I don't want you to get involved. You and Ningning are not meant to be."
"I didn't know Ningning was in the Red Star Brigade if your Uncle Yun hadn't come back. If I had known, I would have gone to see her long ago!"
What does this tell us?
This shows that her son and Ningning are indeed not meant to be.
He comforted him, saying, "Son, life is full of experiences, and you have a bright future ahead of you."
"She's already married and about to have a child. You can't break up someone else's family. If you like her, just keep it to yourself!"
Xiao Zhenhua's mind was filled with that sentence: You and Ningning were once engaged!
You and Ningning were engaged.
He remained silent for a long time, I don't know how much time passed, before he let out a heavy sigh.
If there's no fate, then there's no fate.
But he's already fallen for it. If he can't have it, then he should protect it well!
He had never liked any other girl. That day, the Red Star Brigade was showing a movie, and he went with his friends to play.
Just one glance.
His heart raced at that moment, initially shocked by the girl's beauty and unique charm.
He knew she was already married, but he still couldn't resist coming to the Red Star Brigade to become a teacher.
At that time, he thought that even if he couldn't have such a perfect girl, being closer to her would fulfill his own desires.
But ever since Uncle Xiao came back, he has become completely enamored with him in just a few days.
Now they're telling him that the two of them were once engaged.
He just wanted to hate the injustice of fate!
He's only been moved once in over twenty years; the girl he met was his former fiancée, who is now someone else's wife.
Xiao Zhenhua sighed deeply and said to Xiao Hongjun, "Dad! Don't worry about me! I like her, and I'm willing to be close to her and protect her silently!"
Xiao Hongjun waved his hand: "Alright, you can go back now! Just know that! Don't burden that young girl. You can handle it yourself."
After returning home, Xiao Zhenhua thought about it over and over again, and couldn't help but want to ask Yun Ningyan if she knew that the two of them had once been engaged.
But he knew that his actions were unwise.
So I just had to endure it until the next day.
Just as he was about to knock, the door suddenly opened.
The moment he saw Huo Junshan holding Yun Ningyan's hand tightly, all his excitement and joy vanished in an instant.
In that instant, he regained his senses.
So when Yun Ningyan said they were going up the mountain, he went with her.
After explaining why he had come, Uncle Yun called.
Back in his school dormitory, he thought a lot and barely slept that night.
He decided to keep the engagement a secret and never mention it again.
He couldn't let Yun Ningyan feel that he was a burden or a liability.
He was able to stay by their side as Huo Junshan's friend and see her often.
He felt satisfied.
