Chapter 119: I Don't Want to Leave Any Regrets
As Chen Guifen worried, He Hongjin also thought of Fu Jingyou.
After refilling the water for Hu Zhiyuan and Bai Yang, He Hongjin gave a wink and Chen Guifen followed him into the kitchen.
"If Lu Zhiqing really leaves today, don't let Xiaoliu know... You'll be responsible for arranging the work for the next few days. Wherever it's too far, assign him there."
Chen Guifen nodded, then asked hesitantly:
"There are so many people on the team. If we two don't speak up, how can the others keep it to themselves? I don't think this will go your way."
"You have no right to control what others do, just take care of yourself."
He Hongjin was annoyed and waved his hands impatiently:
"Alright, alright! Let's go cook."
…
On the other side, Lu Miao went back to the educated youth camp to pack her things. Geng Xiaoyun and the others heard the news from somewhere and knew that she was going back to the city, so they all came back from outside.
When Lu Miao saw them coming back, he tilted his head and smiled, but didn't say anything.
Lu Miao put the relatively important things into boxes and took them away directly.
Some small items like food could not be put in the box, and she wanted to take them away, so she divided them up on the spot and gave some to the onlookers.
Geng Xiaoyun and the others were holding things in their hands, feeling very sad.
Although they envied Lu Miao for being able to return to the city and go home, a deep friendship had been formed after spending half a year together, and Geng Xiaoyun, Ren Bingxin and the others were reluctant to let Lu Miao go.
Several people were in low spirits, but no one broke the news.
For them, they were reluctant to see Lu Miao leave, but for Lu Miao, returning to the city was the best outcome.
Geng Xiaoyun was silent for a while, then spoke first:
"Don't share this with everyone. Just leave it here! What if it comes back?"
Ren Bingxin and Gu Ying followed closely behind:
"Yeah, just leave it like this. If you really don't come back...we'll send it to you when we have time."
"Forget it, it's not worth much, why bother with it? Just leave it at that!"
Lu Miao shook his head. "I've seen how much you've taken care of me. I can't give you anything else, but this little bit of money can be of some use. Don't refuse it."
Geng Xiaoyun and the others stopped talking and just watched Lu Miao clean up in silence.
A wicker box couldn't hold much stuff, so Lu Miao packed it up quickly.
After locking the box, Lu Miao turned around and looked at Geng Xiaoyun and his group.
Without any unnecessary words, she smiled and walked forward to give each of them a hug, patting each other's backs and shoulders, and giving each other sincere advice:
"We are all educated youth from the city. We must not lose sight of the contents of our textbooks. Judging from the situation, the college entrance examination will be restarted in a few years. Come on, don't give up easily!"
"Well... you too. Whether you're going to work or whatever, everything has to go smoothly after you return to the city."
Lu Miao wanted to go with the county's special envoy. Geng Xiaoyun and the others didn't feel comfortable seeing him off, so they just sent him to a corner of the pond, then stopped and watched Lu Miao leave.
Xie Fei saw this scene when he came back.
The scene of his unpleasant parting with Lu Miao at the threshing ground a few days ago was still vivid in Xie Fei's mind. He didn't want to get involved at first, but after holding it in for a while, he finally couldn't help but go to the female educated youth to ask about the situation.
Geng Xiaoyun and the others were silent, and Yang Xiaojing responded first:
"Lu Miao is an only child. The policy was changed, and her family sent a letter saying she was transferred back to the city."
"What?"
The words "letter from home" and "transferred her back to the city" kept echoing in his ears, and Xie Fei was suddenly stunned.
How could that be?
Didn’t Uncle Lu always support Lu Miao in following him?
Didn’t Uncle Lu always hope that he could be with Lu Miao?
Why was Lu Miao suddenly transferred back to the city at this time?
Xie Fei was stunned and took two steps back in disbelief. Finally, he turned around and quickly ran back to the educated youth site. He pulled out two books from under the sheets and bedding, and then pulled out two pages of letter paper.
He wants to go back too!
We must, we must find out what is going on!
Xie Fei wrote the letter with trembling hands, with a clear idea in his mind.
He completely forgot that he had gone to the countryside in the first place, and it was he who stubbornly insisted on coming...
In the end, Hu Zhiyuan didn't have lunch at the He family. After Lu Miao finished packing, he and Bai Yang pushed their bicycles and set off immediately with Lu Miao.
He Hongjin was seeing his leader off, as well as Lu Miao, so he put on his coat and straw hat and followed them out.
There is no impenetrable wall in the world. Even if He Hongjin and Chen Guifen didn't say it, the female educated youth could hear the news, and of course Fu Jingyou could hear it too.
The moment he heard that Lu Miao was leaving, Fu Jingyou's ears buzzed, the hot sweat on his body suddenly cooled down, and his burning heart also cooled down.
Without even thinking, he dropped the hoe in his hand and ran back.
The uncle who was working with me didn't understand what was going on. He picked up his hoe and followed behind me, saying:
"Hey, hey! Fu Xiaoliu, where are you going? Don't you want to work in the fields anymore?"
Fu Jingyou had already disappeared like a gust of wind, so how could anyone reply to him whether he would do the work or not?
No matter if Lu Miao left on his own or someone from above came to take Lu Miao away, he would have to pass through the He family checkpoint first. Fu Jingyou went directly back to the He family, but when he entered the house, only his aunt Chen Guifen was there.
Fu Jingyou took two breaths, his Adam's apple rolling to relieve the dryness in his mouth and throat, "Auntie, Lu Zhiqing..."
"Don't ask me, I don't know."
Chen Guifen answered quickly and decisively, with her back to him and not daring to look at him. It was obvious that she was hiding something from him. How could she not know?
Fu Jingyou showed impatience for the first time. He took a step forward and wanted to continue asking questions, but he turned back halfway when he thought of something.
Chen Guifen guessed his intention and turned around and shouted:
"Where are you going? Do you know Lu Zhiqing's background? She's not just an ordinary military family member; she's the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital!"
Fu Jingyou had already walked to the gate of the yard, and he paused slightly when he heard this.
Chen Guifen frowned and said with a determined heart:
"Even if you catch up, what can you do?"
It was impossible in the first place, and now it will only be more impossible!
"Jingyou, Auntie won't harm you. This time...just listen to my advice."
Fu Jingyou stood at the gate of the courtyard. After a brief silence, he started moving again:
"I know I'm not worthy of her, and I also know there's nothing I can do to change her."
"But auntie, I don't want to leave any regrets..."
"There are some things I must say!"
"Jingyou!"
Chen Guifen walked anxiously towards the door of the main hall, but there was no trace of Fu Jingyou in the yard.
The breeze stirred up waves of green, and Fu Jingyou quickly crossed the ridge of the field and soon entered the path on the distant hillside.
He thought that even if he restrained himself from getting close to Lu Miao.
Even if Lu Miao was really angry with him, he would never pay attention to him again.
Within a limited range, he still looked at Lu Miao from a distance.
But I never expected that now I can’t even have such a humble thought or wish...
