She wanted to ask if there was some kind of special feeling between the two of them.
But before Yun Duoduo could finish asking, Yun Zhifeng shook his head and said, "No, I don't know her. There's nothing between us. We're just the brigade leader and an educated youth."
After a pause, Yun Zhifeng continued, "Back then, she was sent to work in Zhoujiazhuang. The higher-ups instructed us to take special care of the educated youth from the city, so I was quite familiar with them. I never expected to run into them here."
When he said this, Yun Zhifeng's tone was very calm, as if he and Zhang Yuxia were just acquaintances.
But the more he acted this way, the more Yun Duoduo felt that he was hiding his relationship with Yuxia.
She wanted to continue asking, "Then..."
But before she could finish speaking, Yun Zhiwei interrupted her, "Duoduo, you just said your aunt is going to the shop tomorrow, what's it for?"
As he said this, Yun Zhiwei winked at Yun Duoduo.
Yun Duoduo roughly understood and didn't continue. She immediately changed the subject, "My aunt wants to open a jade shop on our street and wants me to help her take a look. We've agreed to go together tomorrow."
Yun Zhiwei smiled and nodded, "Your aunt is really capable; she even knows about such a high-end thing as jade."
After that, everyone was silent for a while, and they just walked on quietly.
Yun Duoduo was thinking about how to get Yun Zhifeng to talk and find out the relationship between him and Yuxia.
Yun Zhifeng walked ahead alone, seemingly immersed in his own world, completely forgetting that there were several people behind him.
Yun Zhiwei carried Yan Dongdong on his back and walked beside Yun Duoduo.
Then, Yan Dongdong broke the silence by asking Yun Zhiwei to put him down and saying he would leave on his own.
As soon as he came down, he took off the jade pendant from his neck and handed it to Yun Zhiwei to see, "Brother Zhiwei, look, this is a jade pendant that Aunt Dongyun gave me, isn't it pretty?"
Yun Zhiwei took a look and immediately realized that this was a good item; it could fetch at least several hundred yuan if sold elsewhere.
Yun Zhiwei laughed and said, "What if you lose something so valuable that you're carrying around? Go back and have your sister put it away for you."
Yan Dongdong hung the jade pendant around her neck and said confidently, "Don't worry, it definitely won't fall off while I'm wearing it."
Yun Duoduo noticed that no matter what they said about Yuxia afterward, Yun Zhifeng didn't respond.
But it was obvious that he was distracted.
Yun Zhifeng didn't come to his senses until they got back to their doorstep.
The house that the Li family gave to the Yun family was just behind their shop, a few minutes' walk away.
The courtyard isn't very big, but it's big enough for the Li family to live in.
Since Yun Duoduo doesn't live here, the family still has plenty of space.
When the group arrived at the door, Yun Zhiwei said to Yun Zhifeng, "Brother, you go back over there first. I still need to take Duoduo back to the army later."
"Okay." Yun Zhifeng nodded, opened the door, and went inside.
Yun Zhiwei accompanied Yun Duoduo to take Yan Dongdong to Yan Honglan's place.
Yan Honglan had just finished working overtime and made Yan Dongdong's bed.
Yan Dongdong and Yan Honglan slept in the same room.
There were two beds in a large room, which made it convenient for Yan Honglan to take care of Yan Dongdong.
Anyway, Yan Dongdong is still young. When he gets a little older and can take care of himself, it will be very suitable for him to live with Yan Qiuting.
Yun Duoduo helped Yan Honglan pack Yan Dongdong's luggage.
Actually, Yan Dongdong didn't bring anything from home. Most of the things were prepared by Yun Duoduo and put in the cabinet for him.
Yan Dongdong has her own separate cabinet and a desk for studying.
After finishing, it was almost ten o'clock, and Yun Duoduo planned to go back to the military base.
As she was leaving, Yan Honglan called out to her, "Sister-in-law, is Dongdong going to school tomorrow?"
Yun Duoduo knew that Yan Junting had already arranged everything for Yan Dongdong's schooling.
Because they have a shop here, and Yan Junting is a soldier with a high rank, the neighborhood committee easily processed the paperwork for them. All they had to do was take Dongdong to register.
Yun Duoduo nodded. "For school, have your older brother take the morning off tomorrow to take Dongdong to complete the enrollment procedures. You can take the afternoon off to pick him up at the school gate at 3:30."
"I understand." Yan Honglan knew that Yun Duoduo still had to go back to the army, so she said to her, "Sister-in-law, why don't you not go back tonight? Send a message to my brother, you can sleep in my bed, and I'll sleep with Dongdong."
“Your older brother and I have some things to discuss, so we have to go back today.” Yun Duoduo remembered that Yan Junting couldn’t come today because the army had pre-holiday assessments these past few days, and he was extremely busy, working until late at night every day and getting up before dawn.
She told Yan Honglan, "Your older brother's unit has been busy these past few days, otherwise he would definitely have made time to come over if he had known Dongdong and the others were coming."
Upon hearing this, Yan Honglan nodded and escorted Yun Duoduo to the door.
At the entrance, Yun Zhiwei sat on his bicycle, waiting for Yun Duoduo.
On the way, Yun Duoduo asked Yun Zhiwei, "Second Brother, do you know about Sister Yuxia and Big Brother's affair?"
Since Yun Zhifeng wasn't around, Yun Zhiwei spoke up in detail, "I do know some things, but I wasn't sure who it was before. Now it seems it should be Yuxia."
Yun Zhiwei recalled something, including something that happened a few years ago. "It was during the years when the educated youth went to the countryside. For a while, my older brother was in a very good mood. He was always beaming and told his family that he was going to get married. He said that the girl he liked was an educated youth who was beautiful and a good person."
"When my parents heard that he was an educated youth, they were quite happy. They thought that an educated youth from the city must be educated, and seeing how happy my older brother was, they knew he would like him. So they happily made preparations."
After saying this, Yun Zhiwei suddenly sighed and shook his head, saying, "I just didn't expect that after everything was prepared, the city suddenly issued a policy saying that the educated youth were starting to return to the city. Then, during that period, my older brother became less talkative and in a bad mood. He also said that the wedding plans had to be put on hold."
"Then they just told us directly that they weren't getting married, that the educated youth had returned to the city, and that they had broken up."
Brother, is there such a thing?
Yun Duoduo genuinely didn't know.
Neither her memories nor the original owner's memories could be found.
Seeing that she seemed to remember nothing, Yun Zhiwei reminded her, "Have you forgotten? My older brother was sick for a full half month. He had a high fever that wouldn't go down, and he had to be sent to the county hospital to be cured."
“From then on, no one in the family dared to mention it again.”
