Not long after Xiao Li returned to the educated youth settlement, she saw Guan Miaomiao and You Zhijie returning from outside, chatting and laughing. She had been busy hunting lately and hadn't paid much attention to the male and female leads. Had things progressed so quickly?
"Miaomiao, let's go look for it together tomorrow morning. We're sure we can collect a complete set of books."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Guan Miaomiao's voice was much gentler, quite different from her usual loud voice.
The food has been good lately, and everyone at the educated youth settlement looks much better. Guan Miaomiao, as the female lead, is naturally quite beautiful, and now, with the nourishment of love, her complexion is practically glowing.
Xiao Qingyu stood at the door, looking innocent with slightly red eyes, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Miao Miao hasn't been playing with her lately, and it seems like something happened at home; she hasn't been sending any money or tickets. Even that country bumpkin Tang Xiaoli is prettier than her, which really infuriates her.
After dinner, Guan Miaomiao gave a speech.
"We're off tomorrow. We're going to the town's scrap metal yard to look for some junior and senior high school textbooks and review materials. Does anyone want to go?"
As expected of the female lead, she doesn't forget to study even at a time like this, which is a good thing, Xiao Li agreed.
The next day, as expected, the group of educated youth brought back a large bag of old books. Xiao Li also found a few, and everyone agreed to take turns reading them. Xiao Li also began to study.
At this moment, Shen Qi stared blankly at the roof, wondering where she was.
He had just transmigrated here, and the first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was a girl in white holding a needle and trying to prick him. In a fit of anger, he pushed her to the ground and is now being punished in a dark room.
"You're full of energy, so you probably don't need any treatment. Lock yourself in room number one and don't let them eat for a day."
The battalion commander's angry voice still echoed in my ears. What's wrong with him?
Suddenly, fragments flashed through his mind, and he was extremely surprised. So, he had been reborn?
These should be the memories of this body, some from childhood, some from adulthood, and most of them are from training and missions with their partners.

"Li Qi, are you really sure? With your skills and military achievements, you could be promoted soon. It would be a real shame to retire like this. You should make the most of your abilities in the army."
Battalion Commander Ji was furious. He didn't know what was wrong with his soldiers. After they fainted and woke up, they acted recklessly, not only injuring people indiscriminately, but also wanting to be discharged from the army.
You know, it's incredibly difficult to get promoted in the military without connections. Watching this poor kid climb up step by step, it's been so tough, and yet this guy just gives up like that.
"Battalion Commander, I'm already twenty-seven years old. I only realized after I fainted that my physical strength can't keep up anymore. I just want to go back to my hometown and do logistics work. It would be nice to be able to contribute to the country from anywhere."
Battalion Commander Ji looked suspicious: "Really? Is there something wrong with your health? You passed the physical exam, they didn't find anything wrong with you."
"It's true, it's my own body, I can feel it."
Li Qi was spouting nonsense with a straight face. Staying here any longer would give them away. He'd been comrades for over a decade, and that wasn't a joke, especially with these ordinary soldiers. If they sensed something was amiss, they absolutely had to arrest him as a spy.
He should go back to the countryside and stay there. There's no more space here. He doesn't know if Ali has come here. He has to go and find her.

Xiao Li looked at the soaking wet Xiao Qingyu and didn't know what to say. This girl had arranged to meet You Zhijie by the river at noon and then 'accidentally' fell in.
The key point is that You Zhijie didn't react in time, but Lu Huaifeng jumped in and pulled him out.
Lu Huaifeng is also an important male supporting character in the story. He is Xiao Qingyu's devoted admirer, the kind who is willing to sacrifice everything and clear obstacles for her.
However, in the story, it was You Zhijie who saved her this time, and she thought that You Zhijie also liked her, so she became even more crazy.
She did many things to hurt the female lead, and they completely fell out. Lu Huaifeng tried his best to help her win over the male lead, which caused many misunderstandings between the male and female leads.
This time, Xiao Li brought Lu Huaifeng directly to rescue her, hoping that she could see her own feelings clearly and not waste her youth on someone who wasn't worth it.
In Xiao Li's eyes, the love and hate among the four of them was just like children playing house: I love you, you love her, he loves her, I don't love him... a complete mess.
He draped a coat over Xiao Qingyu and helped her back to the educated youth settlement. Xiao Qingyu didn't say a word, but her eyes kept replaying the image of You Zhijie standing on the shore, looking completely sober. He clearly didn't have any love for her.
She needs to think it over carefully; maybe she really was wrong.
The educated youth settlement has been quite lively lately, with two couples dating: Xiang Yang and Zhao Hongying, and Guan Miaomiao and You Zhijie.
In this day and age, dating isn't just talk; it's about getting married. The former is already preparing to get their marriage certificate.
Xiang Yang had been sent to the countryside for six years, and he was tired. Marrying Zhao Hongying was his last act of defiance. After they got married, they would move out of the educated youth settlement and build their own house.
Xiao Qingyu has been very depressed lately. Ever since Guan Miaomiao and You Zhijie got together, she has visibly lost weight. Lu Huaifeng continues to follow her around, helping her with chores and buying her delicious food.
Xiao Li thought Lu Huaifeng was a really good boyfriend, but it was a pity that he was too love-struck and hadn't met the right person.

Recently, another major event occurred in Yangshu Village. Village Chief Li Dahe has an older brother named Li Dajiang. His ex-wife passed away after a difficult childbirth, leaving behind a son.
He married a widow with a child in order to take care of his own child, who was two years older than his own son.
For some reason, he was won over by the widow and treated her children worse than his own son. Especially after the widow gave birth to two more sons and a daughter, he became even more disliked to his ex-wife and son.
It's a pity that the boy joined the army at the age of fourteen just to get a mouth to eat. He fought for more than ten years, but he injured his leg and had to be discharged.
This has really stirred up a hornet's nest. The house is already small, and we still have to make room for him, take care of his injured leg, and even find him a wife. Who knows, he might be disabled in the future and we'll have to take care of him for the rest of our lives.
The widowed stepmother immediately objected and urged Li Dajiang to divide the family property, thus kicking the person out.
The boy was also tough; he called over the village chief's second uncle and demanded to sever ties. Fearing he would be implicated, Li Dajiang readily signed and sealed the document.
This infuriated Li Dahe, who declared that he no longer had this older brother.
They originally wanted to take the child back to their own home, but they didn't have a place to stay. Just when they were in a dilemma, the child asked to stay in the dilapidated hunter's shed at the foot of the mountain.
Li Dahe agreed and found a few villagers to help renovate it, making it barely habitable.
Everyone is discussing this matter, saying that Li Dajiang is a terrible person. He doesn't love his own son, but he dotes on a burden instead. His own son is not even as good as a burden.
