Looking at the tightly packed glass bottle in the wooden box, Lin Wan was shocked. It was so far away, yet it was intact.

"I think I need to leave this for two days before I can open it and drink it. It's shaking all the time and it has a lot of gas, which will run away once you open it."

Ye Jibai took the two intact bottles of Coca-Cola and placed them on Lin Wan's desk.

He took out a cloth bag and opened it to reveal a set of dark brown corduroy clothes and pants, the style of which was very different from those sold in ordinary stores.

"I bought this dress for you, try it on when the time comes." He looked at the time on the alarm clock on the table.

"It's getting late, so I'm going back first." Ye Jibai handed all the things to Lin Wan and returned to the front yard.

Although the two of them were friends on the surface, the time they could spend together was still limited. After all, in this day and age, if you were together for too long, people would still gossip about you.

Watching Ye Jibai leave, Lin Wan closed the door, locked it, and lowered the curtains.

I put the things on the kang into the wooden box and carried Xiao Mi into the room.

Lin Wan brought Xiao Mi into the house and made some dried fish bibimbap.

I went out to feed the chickens and then took a slow walk in the yard.

Shen Zhenzhu was eating corn porridge and looking at the few pieces of salted vegetables in the bowl. She found it hard to accept for a moment.

“We’re going to eat this every day?”

"This is the only thing in the countryside. If we don't lose money, we can live a better life.

Now that I have lost all my money, it all depends on how much money your brother can send me next month. Otherwise, we will have to spend the New Year together.”

Zhou Rongrong touched her not-at-all-pregnant belly and watched Shen Zhenzhu poking the corn paste in the bowl with chopsticks.

"Did you see Ye Jibai when you went out today?"

It was okay when Zhou Rongrong was mentioned, but when Ye Ji and Bai Shen Zhenzhu were mentioned, she felt a tightness in her chest and couldn't eat.

That's not a man at all, he's clearly an iron-faced man who doesn't give any face to female lesbians.

How can we make progress if even basic communication is difficult?

Zhou Rongrong picked up a piece of salted vegetable and put it in her mouth. She felt choked and quickly scooped two more mouthfuls of corn paste into her mouth to relieve the choking.

He swallowed the corn paste in his mouth and looked at Shen Zhenzhu's worried expression and smiled.

"There's really nothing we can do about it."

All the men Shen Zhenzhu met before always chased after her.

If they want to have a good life and climb up the social ladder by having a relationship with Shen Zhenzhu, even if Shen Zhenzhu has a sullen face, those men will still flock to her.

Now that I've met someone I really like, I know exactly how to break through.

When I heard Zhou Rongrong say this, I immediately looked up at Zhou Rongrong.

"What can we do?"

"Men are like that. Even if they say they like it, their bodies are honestly tight."

Zhou Rongrong raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Shen Zhenzhu with a frown.

Shen Zhenzhu froze there, her face gradually turning red.

"Think about it slowly by yourself. I'm going to go out for a while." Zhou Rongrong pushed the dishes and chopsticks away, got up from the bed, took the flashlight, put on Shen Zhenzhu's military coat, and walked out.

The night in Northeast China in October was chilly and windy, and the snowflakes that had been falling for half a day were already above my feet.

This was the first heavy snowfall in Dongli Village this year. The moon was hidden behind dark clouds, and only a glimmer of light could be seen.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky, still spinning and falling in the north wind. Every step Zhou Rongrong took in the snow made a "hiccup...hiccup..." sound.

In the woods behind the mountain, two people shone their flashlights on the ground. It was hard to tell who was who, but all they could hear was the low sound of an argument.

"I handed my wallet to you. Now you tell me that you saw it. How dare you say that? Just say that it was you who secretly stole my wallet."

"No, I did put it in her room."

"Who are you trying to fool? Why didn't the search find it after you put it in there?"

"I'm the only one who handled this matter. You should ask Li Chunhua. She's here, don't you think it's my fault?"

"I don't care. Now that the money is lost, you must compensate me."

"How can I compensate you? If you want to compensate you, go find Li Chunhua. I did put the things in there, and you two can't blame me."

"You...you're just afraid that I'll stab you out."

"Then go ahead. If you dare to tell me, I will tell everyone that you are the mastermind behind the drugging. Don't blame me then."

Zhou Rongrong watched the figure walking away slowly with a flashlight, hatred in her eyes.

The two of them parted ways after a pleasant conversation, and Zhou Rongrong could only leave the back mountain in a cautious manner.

As they left, a tall figure emerged from behind a tree. His deep eyes and brows were filled with a cold chill.

The heavy snow continued to fall until the next day when it slowly stopped. When Lin Wan opened the door, he found that the snow in front of his door had been cleared.

There was a vast expanse of white in the distance. Hu Xiaopang was holding a ladder while Shen Minghua climbed up to the roof slowly.

The snow on the roof was very thick. In order to prevent the house from collapsing under the heavy snow, we had to go up and sweep the snow down.

Ye Jibai was standing next to Hu Xiaopang and saw Lin Wan coming out, so he walked up to her.

"Wear more clothes. I'll go up and clear the snow later."

As soon as Shen Zhenzhu walked to the backyard of the educated youth center, she saw Ye Ji and Bai Lin eating together.

The smile on his face became a little stiff, and he walked closer step by step, "Everyone is here, can you please ask Ye Zhiqing for help? There is a lot of snow on our house. My sister-in-law is pregnant and can't climb high, but I am afraid of heights."

Ye Jibai frowned slightly as he looked at Shen Zhenzhu who was walking towards him.

"If you have any questions, you can find the person in charge of the educated youth center. I am the person in charge."

"But we are all educated youth. Can we help each other when we encounter problems? Could it be that Ye Zhiqing is afraid that Lin Zhiqing will be angry and misunderstand?

I think Lin Zhiqing is so kind and generous that he will definitely be angry with you because of Ye Zhiqing's help."

Shen Zhenzhu spoke softly with an obedient look.

Lin Wan tilted his head, and took himself with him.

"I do."

"Pfft..." Wang Qiaoyun had just walked to the backyard with a basket on her shoulder when she heard Lin Wan's words and couldn't help laughing.

When Shen Zhenzhu heard the mocking laughter, she turned around and stared at Wang Qiaoyun fiercely with her back to the others and said in a stern voice.

"What are you laughing at?"

Wang Qiaoyun was stunned by Shen Zhenzhu's stare, and then rolled her eyes back at Shen Zhenzhu.

"I'm laughing at your self-conceit. You know the truth but you still keep moving forward. Do you think that's funny?"

"You..." Shen Zhenzhu was so angry that she raised her hand and was about to hit Wang Qiaoyun.

"Stop, this is a youth cadre site, this is your Shen family." Lin Wan yelled at Shen Zhenzhu.

Wang Ping, who was clearing the snow from the door, walked over slowly and smiled at the posture of the few people.

"It's not a big deal. It's a good thing that the educated youths in the countryside are causing such a commotion. Come on, I'll go with you to find the person in charge of the educated youths' station."

Wang Ping smiled and nodded at Lin Wan, then pulled Shen Zhenzhu to the front yard.

Lin Wan looked at Wang Ping who had sold out to her. If she had noticed Wang Ping's subtle actions the day before yesterday, she might have really thought she was a good person.
