After sitting down at the table, Zhou Weiguang kept clinking glasses with Zhou Changan and hadn't eaten much of the meal.

After Zhou Weiguang came out of the house with a flashlight, Qin Hanshu said awkwardly, "Sorry to bother you."

"No trouble!" Zhou Weiguang signaled Qin Hanshu to go first.

If a man and a woman are seen walking together on the street in the middle of the night, rumors will be flying everywhere the next day.

So the two of them did as Zhao Chunmiao said, one walked in front and the other followed far behind with a flashlight.

Just make sure Qin Hanshu is within Zhou Weiguang's sight.

Zhou Weiguang has a strong night vision and can walk very fast in the dark. Qin Hanshu is much worse. The flashlight is coming from behind her, so she has to grope her way forward, which slows her down.

Zhou Weiguang had no choice but to slow down his pace.

Out of boredom, he began to look around, and vaguely, he could make out some of the familiar scenery of his hometown in his memory.

His eyes inadvertently fell on the person in front of him.

Qin Feiyang said that his sister was Lin Daiyu, who would fall down at the slightest gust of wind, and he was not lying.

The person in front was delicate and graceful, her body swaying gently as she walked, just like the new branches on the willow trees on the river bank in spring.

It sways when the breeze blows.

Zhou Weiguang suddenly felt an itch in his heart, as if he was tickled by the tip of a willow branch.

He coughed lightly and quickly lowered his eyes.

The distance from Zhou's home to the educated youth point was not far or near. It was dark and we walked slowly, so it took at most twelve or thirteen minutes to get there.

"Um..." a voice came from the front, "I'm almost there, you can go back and eat."

Zhou Weiguang stopped.

Qin Hanshu stood on the hill, pointed at a row of earthen caves behind him, and said, "This is the educated youth site. I'm here."

Zhou Weiguang was about ten meters away from Qin Hanshu. One was standing on a high ground, and the other on a low ground.

"Hmm." Zhou Weiguang nodded, but thinking that it was dark and the other party might not be able to see him, he raised his voice and said, "Okay."

Qin Hanshu thanked him and turned around and walked away.

The light from the educated youth center shone through, allowing Zhou Weiguang to see Qin Hanshu's entire figure clearly.

Suddenly, Zhou Weiguang's eyes fixed.

Why does this figure look familiar?

After thinking for a few seconds, Zhou Weiguang suddenly realized, but at the same time he felt a little bit unbelievable.

Qin Hanshu was clearly the "big flower rat" he saw when he entered the village in the afternoon.

In fact, what Qin Hanshu was wearing was not a floral dress, but a pink and white plaid jacket.

However, in Zhou Weiguang's eyes, as long as there are colored patterns on the clothes, they can all be called floral clothes.

At that time in the afternoon, Zhou Weiguang did not see Qin Hanshu's face, and he was far away from her. What remained in his mind was her slender figure and the color of her clothes.

When Qin Hanshu entered Zhou's house just now, he felt familiar with her, but he didn't dare to stare at her. He just glanced at her face. When he sat at the dinner table, he didn't even dare to glance in that direction.

It was not until this moment that Zhou Weiguang saw Qin Hanshu clearly.

but......

Zhou Weiguang scratched the back of his head in confusion.

Isn’t it Lin Daiyu?

How did he become Sun Wukong? ?

***

Qin Hanshu returned to the educated youth site and found that everyone was standing in the courtyard, bustling about.

The new and old groups of educated youth, who had never interacted much, were discussing something enthusiastically.

Zhang Yao saw Qin Hanshu and came forward to say, "Li Jianhua is going back to the city."

Li Jianhua was a male educated youth who came with Liao Yujie.

"Return to the city?"

"Yeah!" Zhang Yao's expression was a mixture of envy and regret. "His family found a job for him and said he won't come back after he goes back for the Chinese New Year."

If there is a unit in the city that accepts your household registration, you can apply to return to the city.

In fact, even if you don't have it, you can go back if you want, but if you go back, you will be like an illegal resident. If the crackdown is strict, you won't even dare to go out all day.

There was an educated youth from the capital in the neighboring commune. He went home for a family visit and refused to leave.

I don’t know how that person’s life was as an illegal resident, but since he didn’t return to the production team, his life should have been better than when he was there.

There were also two male educated youth from Haowan Village who returned to the city to celebrate the New Year last year and stayed at home for two or three months before returning.

However, only the educated youth who went to the countryside to work could do this; it was difficult to get leave for those in the military corps.

"It's almost the end of the year," Zhang Yao sighed, "They are all planning to take leave to visit their families and go back to the city. Do you want to take leave?"

"Let me tell you." Qin Hanshu asked Zhang Yao, "From the look of you, you don't plan to go back?"

Zhang Yao smiled bitterly and said, "My family is a one-income family. My father's salary alone supports a family of nine. Every penny has to be spent carefully. Why should I waste the round trip fare?"

"Sister Shu!" Ma Chaoyang ran towards Qin Hanshu, "Let's go and ask for leave from the team together tomorrow!"

Ma Chaoyang said excitedly: "This time when I go back, I will stay at home for three months! Even if my dad beats me with a belt, I won't leave!"

Zhang Kangmei came over slowly, rolling her eyes and said, "You are really promising! I think your family's purpose of sending you to the countryside has not been achieved."

Ma Chaoyang: "...Do you know what my family's purpose is?"

Zhang Kangmei said disdainfully: "Isn't it because I see that you are lazy and enjoy sex that I want you to go to the countryside for reform?"

This is what Ma Chaoyang once said to the public.

He certainly wouldn't say that his father kicked him, his grandson, to the countryside just to win favor from the old man!

But judging from his mother's letter, his father's trick really worked.

Now at home, the old man often says: "Chaoyang is the grandchild who looks most like me. He is the hope of our Ma family..."

Thinking of this, Ma Chaoyang's enthusiasm to return to the city cooled.

My grandfather didn’t know yet that his mother gave him five hundred yuan before he left, which allowed him to eat and drink well during his time in the countryside and he didn’t suffer any hardship at all.

I feel a little ashamed...

Qin Hanshu asked Zhang Kangmei: "Do you want to visit your relatives?"

Zhang Kangmei immediately shook her head, "I've only been in the countryside for half a year, why would you want to visit your relatives? Let's talk about it next year."

Qin Hanshu understood that Zhang Kangmei was similar to her, not too concerned about her family. —— She just had a grandfather.

However, Zhang Kangmei said that her grandfather has not retired yet and is very busy every day. Even in the capital, the grandfather and grandson rarely see each other.

Finally, after everyone discussed it, they found that those who wanted to visit their relatives were all old educated youth.

Qin Hanshu looked at Liao Yujie, who had been huddled aside and kept silent, and thought it was unusual, so he asked, "You're not going to ask for leave?"

Liao Yujie chewed fried soybeans and said leisurely, "I am much happier in Haowan Village than at home. Only a fool would go back."

After saying that, Liao Yujie waited for Qin Hanshu to continue asking her why, why she was happier in the countryside than in the city?

But Qin Hanshu just nodded and turned away.

Not interested in her at all.

Liao Yujie didn't tell the story she had prepared, it was stuck in her throat.
