"Now that the pig farm has been handed over to you, you can expand it if you want. No matter what you do, Dad will support you!"

Father Lu looked at Lu Chaoli with a loving face. He knew that Chaoli was a child with ideas, and that the proposal to expand the pig farm must have been a decision made after careful consideration.

"Thank you, Dad!"

Lu Chaoli's eyes lit up, and he was very excited that his father gave a reply so quickly.

"You, you."

Looking at Lu Chaoli who quickly stood up from the kang, Lu's father pointed at him with his pipe.

"But expanding the pig farm is indeed not a small amount of money. Your mother and I have to take out all the money we have saved. As for the rest, you will have to rely on yourself in the future."

Lu Chaoli didn't understand what his father meant for a moment, and asked in confusion: "Other things? What?"

"What else could it be? Of course it's about you getting married!"

Mother Lu, who was feeding chickens in the yard, heard the conversation between the father and son through the window and said something while standing in the yard.

"That's right. Your mother and I originally wanted to use the money we saved when you got married. Since you are determined to expand the pig farm, we have to take out the money in advance. You will have to earn the money for getting married in the future by yourself."

"I know, Dad."

When talking about getting married, Lu Chaoli's face suddenly became hot.

"What's wrong with you? Why is your face so red all of a sudden? Is it because it's too hot outside and you got a heat stroke?"

After noticing the change in Lu Chaoli, his father, thinking that he had caught a heat stroke, immediately became nervous.

"It's okay, Dad. Well, I have something to do with Hu Zi, so I won't be home for lunch!"

Lu Chaoli ran out right after he finished speaking, and he was so hasty that he even forgot to take his hat with him.

The weather was too hot and they had no appetite, so Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan just had some sweet potatoes for lunch after returning to the Youth League Institute.

The village chief said that they would go to work in the fields after noon, so the two went back to the house to rest for a while.

The two people who had just arrived here felt new about everything in Taohua Village and for a moment they couldn't sleep anymore.

Xu Yuanyuan and Jiang Li lay face to face on the bed and chatted.

"Hey, Xiao Jiang, you've been working in the fields all morning, so why is your face still so white?"

Xu Yuanyuan stared at Jiang Li's face as if she had discovered some new world.

Xu Yuanyuan is a face control. She liked Jiang Li from the first time she saw her. Now she is looking at Jiang Li from such a close distance without even blinking!

Jiang Li has a peerless beauty card attached to her, so external factors will not affect her appearance. No matter how strong the sun is, she will not get tanned or sunburned.

Even though the sun was scorching outside, her face was still as white as if covered with a thin layer of powder.

"Xiao Jiang is so pretty! I wonder who will be lucky enough to marry Xiao Jiang in the future!"

Xu Yuanyuan looked at Jiang Li with a smile, and Jiang Li raised her hand and pinched her face: "You, what are you thinking about all day long?"

When this matter was mentioned, Xu Yuanyuan suddenly became interested. She changed her position, lay on the bed, raised her legs and shook gently.

"Xiao Jiang, has your family arranged a marriage for you?"

"Marriage?" Jiang Li was a little surprised that Xu Yuanyuan suddenly asked about this. She shook her head and said, "No, I grew up in an orphanage and have no family."

Xu Yuanyuan also learned about Jiang Li's life experience for the first time. She waved to Jiang Li and said, "I'm sorry, Xiao Jiang. I didn't mean to ask. I didn't know you..."

In Jiang Li's memory, the director of the orphanage was a very kind person. Her childhood was full of joy, without the sadness of losing her parents. To the children in the orphanage, the director was like their mother.

Fearing that Xu Yuanyuan would blame herself for this, Jiang Li changed the subject: "Did your family arrange a marriage for you?"

This was the first time Jiang Li saw Xu Yuanyuan blushing. Xu Yuanyuan nodded shyly, "I said it half a year ago. We were going to get married during the Chinese New Year, but after receiving the order from our superiors to go to the countryside, we had to postpone the wedding."

Jiang Li looked at Xu Yuanyuan in surprise and joy: "Really? So your marriage has been decided?"

Xu Yuanyuan nodded: "It's settled."

"You're so good, Yuanyuan. You've even decided on your marriage. Tell me how you two met!"

Jiang Lixing's eyes were flashing with gossip. She had never felt sleepy in the first place, but now she was no longer sleepy at all.

Xu Yuanyuan is not a shy person, and she immediately recounted the story of how they met, with a doll-like smile on her face the whole time.

"Where is Comrade Xiao Zhang now?"

"Working in our factory over there."

When talking about Comrade Xiao Zhang, Xu Yuanyuan exuded a sweetness, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with the marriage arranged by her family.

Jiang Li raised her eyebrows: "It's just right that he has been making money for a few years, and you can get married when you go back."

Xu Yuanyuan nodded with a smile: "That's what we both planned."

"Yuanyuan, don't forget to invite me to your wedding!"

"Don't worry, there will definitely be a place for you! Xiao Jiang, what are your plans? Will you go back to the city in five years or continue to stay here?"

The educated youth had two choices after going to the countryside. They could choose to return home after the time specified by their superiors, or they could choose to stay. I heard that many educated youth stayed and married and had children with the people they loved.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you when the time comes."

Jiang Li knew that she would eventually stay, but at the moment nothing had yet to be decided, so she had to give an ambiguous answer.

The two of them were like close friends who had met too late, and they opened their hearts to each other at noon on the second day.

"Comrades, wake up! It's time for us to go to the fields and earn work points!"

It was not until Zhou Guoqing's voice was heard in the yard that Jiang Li and Xu Yuanyuan stopped talking.

Jiang Li, who was sleeping outside, got up first and held out her hand to Xu Yuanyuan: "Let's go, let's continue to earn work points in the fields."

“Here it comes!”

Xu Yuanyuan held Jiang Li's hand and got up from the bed. After chatting for the whole afternoon, the two of them were now full of energy, in sharp contrast to the others who were in low spirits.

"Why are there so many mosquitoes? They're biting me to death!"

Liu Jiayi scratched the big mosquito bite on her arm, looking unhappy.

Zhou Guoqing walked towards Jiang Li with an attentive look on his face: "Comrade Jiang, are there many mosquitoes in your room?"

Before Jiang Li could speak, Zhou Guoqing said, "Don't worry, Comrade Jiang. I'll go to the villagers' house and pick some mint leaves to plant in your house so there won't be any mosquitoes!"

"Captain, why don't you plant some mint leaves in our house?"
