"Rongya, what are you daydreaming about?" Su Ying talked to her for a long time, but she didn't respond.
Zhang Xingrong finally came to her senses and sighed, "Director Liu said that Mr. Zhou could have gone back a long time ago, but he didn't want to go back."
"Ah? Why?" Su Ying didn't understand. Being sent down to the countryside was so uncomfortable and the conditions were so bad, why would some people not want to go back?
Shouldn't those who have been sent down to the countryside go home quickly? Even if it's hard to go back, it's better than staying here, right?
Zhang Xingrong shook her head: "I don't know why."
The two chatted and had nothing to do, so they went to prepare dinner. At noon, Lu Ran and Zhang Hewu had already prepared dinner, but they had eaten some, especially the vegetables, and they were almost done, so they fried two more vegetables.
There were vegetables in the backyard plot, and Jin Haiwen had planted quite a few. The two of them picked cowpeas and Chinese cabbage, with Shitou also helping out. The three of them cooked braised pork with cowpeas and stir-fried Chinese cabbage. Because there were so many people, the two of them had to cook quite a bit.
The food was ready, but the person had not returned yet. Zhang Xingrong had nothing to do, so she asked Su Ying and Shi Tou to stay at home while she went for a walk in the back mountain.
I picked up a lot of good things when I went in last year. I don’t expect to pick up much this time, I’ll just walk around.
But I didn’t expect to run into pheasants when I went in!
Zhang Xingrong was excited and used the space to catch them. In just a few strokes, he caught two!
She was very happy to have caught a pheasant, so she killed it and threw it into the space. After processing it, she saw that there was still time, so she continued to walk inside and picked up some Qin mushrooms and pine nuts.
As she found her way to the water, she saw wild ducks and duck eggs. Summer is such a wonderful season, there's so much to see! She picked up some eggs and caught some ducks, then prepared two and put them in her space. She then took the fattest one home.
When she got home, she found that everyone had already returned. Lu Ran didn't see her and went to look for her.
Zhang Xingrong put the duck down and went to look for the man. She followed the same route she took last year and found him shortly after entering the woods.
When Lu Ran saw her, he stood there and looked at her for several seconds with a distant gaze.
But because Zhang Xingrong walked too fast, she didn't notice: "Where did you go? I didn't see you on the way back."
Lu Ran looked at her deeply, then suddenly smiled, as usual: "I guess I missed it. I took the same path I took before."
Zhang Xingrong nodded: "Let's go back."
But Lu Ran suddenly grabbed her.
Zhang Xingrong looked back at the man with some doubt, and saw that he was looking at her, hesitant to speak. This was rare. This man was usually very decisive in everything he did, and rarely showed such hesitation.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lu Ran looked at her deeply: "We are already husband and wife, and we will be together forever!"
“???”
Zhang Xingrong was a little confused. Why did he suddenly say that out of the blue?
Lu Ran didn't wait for her to answer and held her hand firmly.
The man is acting weird today, Zhang Xingrong thought to herself.
Was he upset by something? He had quarreled with her on the way, and now he was inexplicably...
When the two returned home, they found that the family was stewing a duck in an iron pot, with half of it cooked and the other half reserved.
Everyone was very happy to have a big fat duck to eat, and looked very cheerful.
Anyway, dinner time hadn't started yet, so Zhang Xingrong went to Aunt Goose's place to help Aunt Goose's son see a doctor. Lu Ran followed Zhang Xingrong and didn't want to be separated.
