"Mianmian, where are you? Can I come find you?"
"No." Sang Mianmian refused decisively: "My boyfriend will be jealous."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other end of the phone went silent.
The silence lasted for a very long time, so long that Sang Mianmian felt a little flustered and inexplicably guilty.
"Hey, Liu Xiaotian, are you still there?"
"Mianmian, you have a boyfriend?" Liu Xiaotian's voice, devoid of emotion, came through.
Sang Mianmian felt even more guilty, but she still stubbornly said, "Yeah, is it strange that I have a boyfriend at my age?"
Another long silence followed.
"Hey, Liu Xiaotian, is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up!"
There was still silence on the other end of the phone.
Sang Mianmian patiently counted to ten, but still didn't receive a reply, so she hung up the phone in a fit of anger.
"You bastard!" she scolded softly.
After saying that, she put the matter out of her mind, tidied her hair, and went to prepare lunch.
She came to the grassroots not just to embellish her resume, but to get real results done. So she has no intention of leaving until the current situation in Dayue Village is resolved.

After finishing her meal and taking a short rest, she put on her straw hat and set off, without ever thinking about her phone again.
As she left the dormitory, everyone she met greeted her warmly.
"Secretary Xiao Sang."
"Secretary Sang."
"Xiao Sang, are you going up the mountain again this afternoon?"
“Let’s go.” Sang Mianmian stopped. “I’ll have to trouble Uncle Sun to find someone to take me with him.”
There are many mountains around, and she went deep into the mountains. Without someone to guide her, it would be easy for her to get lost in the mountains.
Uncle Sun, the village head, was a kind and honest man. Upon hearing this, he waved to the field and said, "Ya'er, come here and take Secretary Sang for a walk in the mountains."
"Coming!"
Sun Ya responded loudly, patted the dirt off his clothes, and said with a simple smile, "Secretary Sang, let's go."
Sang Mianmian nodded, greeted the village chief, and followed her up the mountain.
Another afternoon of fruitless effort, something Sang Mianmian was already used to.
After saying goodbye to Sun Ya, she dragged her tired body back to her dormitory.
