Mo Wuwei went into the room, put down the wine jar, and went to sleep on the kang.
However, when I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Lin Ruyan, so chaotic and confusing that I couldn't fall asleep at all.
He simply got up and poured himself another half glass of wine. After drinking it, he felt a burning sensation in his throat, and then in his stomach. He finished half the glass and poured himself another. Then his head became dizzy and he fell uncontrollably on the kang and gradually fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Zhenqing and Fang Suyun stood guard at his door, fearing that he would act crazy or run around after getting drunk.
They left his room and went to rest in their own room only after they heard no more sound from inside.
Educated Youth Point
Lin Ruyan lay on the kang all afternoon without falling asleep, and she didn't feel sleepy at all at night.
He tossed and turned on the kang for a long time. Fearing that he would disturb the other educated youths' rest if he continued like this, he put on his clothes and went into the yard.
The weather was already very cold in late autumn and early winter. She sat in the moonlit yard wearing a coat, staring at the bright full moon in the sky, in a daze.
The person she missed must be sleeping soundly at this moment.
She didn't tell Mo Wuwei that she was leaving during the day. She thought that if she told him, he would feel more relaxed and sleep better at night.
It doesn't matter. Sooner or later he will know the news of her leaving. He will definitely be very happy when he finds out, and maybe he will even drink to celebrate.
She sat in the yard for nearly two hours without realizing it. Only when her legs were numb from the cold did she get up and go into the house.
Lying on the kang, perhaps because she was too sleepy, she closed her eyes and slowly fell asleep.
In the cowshed
Mo Wuwei got up as soon as the sky was getting light.
In fact, he didn't sleep well the whole night, and when he was about to get up, he still smelled of alcohol.
He quickly washed up, tidied his clothes, and prepared to go out.
After thinking about it all night in a daze, he felt that maybe he could be a little selfish and bolder and go to the educated youth site to find Lin Ruyan and ask her if she could stay for him.
But his character prevented him from being selfish, so he simply went to get some more wine.
Alcohol makes cowards brave!
If he gets himself drunk, he'll probably be able to say those things boldly.
He raised the jar of wine, gulped down a few mouthfuls, then strode out. After a few steps, he came back and grabbed the jar of wine.
He felt that this amount of alcohol was not enough and he had to have more.
He drank as he walked to the educated youth site to find Lin Ruyan.
On the way, two middle-aged women came over from the opposite direction. One of them said, "I told that Lin Yuqin that I introduced a couple to her before, but she didn't even look at them. I thought she had someone she liked, but it turns out she was thinking about going to the city."
"That's right. If someone can move to the city, who would stay here? The city is so much better. You can eat well, live well, and earn a lot of money from your job. And if you can find a partner with a job in the city, it will be a hundred times better than marrying here. If it were me, I would choose to move to the city too."
After they finished talking, they noticed Mo Wuwei, whispered a few words stealthily, and left quickly.
They didn't know how much turmoil their words had stirred in Mo Wuwei's heart.
"No, I can't be so selfish. She has a wonderful youth, a bright future, and perhaps even a happy future."
He couldn't let those obstacles in her way get in the way.
So he turned around and walked up the mountain carrying the jar of wine.
He was almost a regular visitor to the mountain these days. He sat under a cedar tree and started drinking again.
He reached into his pocket and found the harmonica he always wore. He wanted to take it out and play a tune, but he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hit the tune, so he could only continue drinking.
He drank almost all the wine in the jar, his head buzzing, and he lay down on a big rock. Finally, his brain was so heavy that he could no longer feel anything. The jar of wine in his hand fell on the rock below and broke with a bang. Then he closed his eyes tightly and knew nothing.
Educated Youth Point
Lin Ruyan slept too late last night, so when she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside. Through the window, she seemed to see the dazzling sunlight.
There was nothing around her, no other educated youth were in sight.
Now that we don't have to go to work and the weather is getting colder, the educated youth usually stay in bed until seven or eight o'clock before getting up. It's probably already past eight o'clock now.
She looked at her watch and it was already half past eight.
Lu Xinyue walked in. "Lin Zhiqing, you're awake. I didn't think about that. Since you hadn't bought your train ticket yet and it didn't matter what time you left, I didn't wake you up. It's better to avoid falling asleep on the train if you don't sleep well. It's not good to fall asleep on the train because it's so noisy."
Lin Ruyan sat up and said, "I'm not sleepy anymore. It's time to get up."
She got up, washed up, and had her last meal at the educated youth camp. Then she picked up her suitcase and said goodbye to everyone.
She had not been here long, and her friendship with these educated youth was not deep. All of them were at the door, and after a brief farewell to her, she prepared to leave.
Carrying the suitcase, he walked towards the village entrance, boarded an ox cart there, and then went to the county town.
She walked very slowly. It was a distance of about a hundred meters, which should have taken her an hour to walk, but she took several hours to dawdle.
Finally, he walked to the ox cart and put the rabbit on it.
The team leader personally drove the ox cart and said, "Lin Zhiqing, when you leave, I wonder how many people will envy you."
Lin Ruyan smiled bitterly. In fact, she envied them more for being able to continue staying here.
They waited for half an hour, and other people going to the county town came one after another, filling up the car. The team leader decided to drive the cattle away.
