Here, Lei Hu successfully found Wang Jianshe's house.
"Is auntie home?" Lei Hu shouted outside the door.
"Who is it?" Wang Xiaomei's lively voice rang out. She opened the door and saw that it was a soldier. "Oh, are you my brother's comrade-in-arms?"
"Yes, I am your brother's comrade-in-arms Lei Hu. This time you and your aunt will follow me to the army!" Lei Hu said with a smile as he looked at the dark, thin but lively Wang Xiaomei.
"Mom, my brother's comrade is here!" Wang Xiaomei turned around and shouted into the house, then said happily, "Brother Lei, please come in, please come in!"
Lei Hu pushed his bicycle into the yard, and Yang Chunhua also came out of the house, her body still covered with cotton wool. It turned out that she was working hard in the house to make a small quilt for her grandson.
"Oh, you're here. Come in and have some water. You must be tired after walking for such a long time." Yang Chunhua greeted the tall young man in the yard warmly as soon as she saw him.
Lei Hu followed Yang Chunhua into the main hall. Wang Xiaomei hurried to pour water. Lei Hu saluted Yang Chunhua and said, "Aunt, I am your comrade-in-arms and a good brother. Lei Hu, you can just call me Lei Zi!"
"Hey, kid, you're so polite. Come on, Lei Zi, sit down and have some water!" Yang Chunhua was so happy seeing Lei Hu saluting her that she quickly invited Lei Hu to drink water.
"Hey, thank you, auntie!" Lei Hu was really thirsty. He had been riding a bicycle for more than three hours. No matter how healthy he was, he was tired. He picked up the bowl and drank the whole bowl of water in one gulp.
Seeing that he drank so quickly, Yang Chunhua knew that he was thirsty, so she asked Wang Xiaomei to pour him another bowl.
Lei Hu drank three bowls of water in a row and felt much better.
After drinking the water, Lei Hu told them about the situation of Wang Jianshe and Wen Nuan, and then said that he would return to the army in five days and would come to pick them up and go together.
"Oh, great. It just so happens that I still have some things that are not prepared. I will prepare them in the next few days!" Yang Chunhua was immediately happy when she heard that there were only five days left before leaving. This time was enough for her to make small quilts for her grandchildren and a few clothes!
"Stay here tonight and leave tomorrow. Auntie will make pancakes for you tonight!" Yang Chunhua looked at her son's good brother in front of her. He had clear eyes and a handsome face. She liked him at first sight.
"Hey, auntie, thank you for your help!" Wang Jianshe had originally planned to leave after giving the notice, but he met Lin Yiman, so he decided not to leave and decided to ask aunt about the situation in the evening.
It was around four o'clock in the afternoon. Yang Chunhua went back to the house to finish the remaining handicrafts and then called Wang Xiaomei to go to the kitchen to work together. Lei Hu walked around the yard and saw that there was some wood that had not been chopped yet against the wall, so he took an axe and started chopping the wood.
When Yang Chunhua saw this, she hurried out to try to stop him, but Lei Hu insisted on chopping, saying that this little work was nothing to him. Only then did Yang Chunhua agree and went back to the kitchen to cook.
In the evening, in order to welcome Lei Hu and to thank him, Yang Chunhua baked thirty pancakes. She also stewed a dried chicken at home and fried six eggs. The four of them ate very well that night.
After dinner, Wang Xiaomei ran out to digest the food. Yang Chunhua was cleaning up in the kitchen. Lei Hu and Wang Jianshe were sitting in the main room talking. When Yang Chunhua finished her work, they came over and sat down.
Lei Hu hesitated about how to ask, and after much hesitation, he decided to speak directly: "Auntie, do you know the educated youth in our village?"
"Educated youth? What's wrong with the educated youth in our village?" Yang Chunhua looked confused after hearing this.
"That's right, that's right," Lei Hu blushed for the first time, but you couldn't tell from his dark face, "There was a female educated youth. I came back this afternoon and asked her for directions. She said she was an educated youth from our village..."
Seeing Lei Hu's shy look, Yang Chunhua, who had lived for most of her life, understood at once, "Lei Zi has taken a fancy to that female educated youth, right?"
Lei Hu didn't expect his aunt to be so straightforward. He felt like he was on fire. "Aunt..."
"Haha, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Just tell me who it is and I'll tell you!" Yang Chunhua looked at the shy look of the strong young man who was almost the same size as her son. She didn't feel like joking and asked with a smile.
Lei Hu suppressed the heat on his face and described Lin Yiman's appearance again.
"You have good taste!" Yang Chunhua knew who Lei Hu was talking about as soon as she heard it. "The educated youth you are talking about is Lin Yiman. She has a very good relationship with Xiao Nuan. She is beautiful and has a good temper. The most important thing is that she is a good cook. Many people in the village are interested in her! The most important thing is that she doesn't have a partner yet!"
When Lei Hu heard Yang Chunhua say that Lin Yiman didn't have a partner, a smile immediately appeared on his face.
As soon as Yang Chunhua saw Lei Hu's expression, she knew that he was really serious about it, and said, "If you really like Lin Zhiqing, you have to be careful. Many people in the village are watching him!"
Lei Hu did fall in love with Lin Yiman at first sight. She was the first girl he had taken a fancy to in more than 20 years. When he heard Yang Chunhua say that many people were staring at her, he became even more anxious. However, he didn't know what to do. This was the first time they met. He couldn't just run up to the girl and say that he liked her, otherwise he would be beaten up as a hooligan!
"Aunt, I really like that girl. It's the first time I've been attracted to her in more than 20 years. Aunt, do you think there is any way..." Lei Hu looked at Yang Chunhua in a flattering manner and smiled obsequiously.
"It's okay. Auntie will find a chance to ask you tomorrow. Your situation is special, so you have to make it clear at the beginning. Then after you return to the army, you can write letters and keep in touch!" Yang Chunhua thought for a while and said, "However, Lei Hu is not as capable as her own son. Her own son is so capable. He has established a relationship with Xiao Nuan after staying at home for a few days!
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Lei Hu said happily, "I will leave before dawn tomorrow and finish the remaining tasks quickly, and try to stay in the village for one more day!"
"Okay!" Yang Chunhua said, patting the table.
In fact, this is the case in this era. Many people meet each other through blind dates, and some even get married after only meeting each other a few times!
The next day at dawn, Lei Hu left on his bicycle.
After breakfast, Yang Chunhua thought about it and decided that it would not be appropriate to go to the educated youth point to ask directly. So, she would call her home and ask her, and tell her that Xiao Nuan missed Lin Yiman’s food, so she could learn a few tricks and cook for Xiao Nuan!
After making her plan, Yang Chunhua asked Wang Xiaomei to go to the educated youth point to call Lin Yiman.
