"What? Brother Chen went out? He won't be back before the New Year?" Shen Zhengliang couldn't believe what Uncle Li said.
He has been trading in this free market for several years. In the past, this market has been temporarily closed due to tight security, but it has never been closed for two or three months.
What’s more, it’s before the Chinese New Year, the most profitable period in the free market.
Shen Zhengliang was still in a daze when he saw a group of Revolutionary Committee staff wearing red armbands rushing into the village on bicycles.
Uncle Li quickly called out to Shen Zhengliang, “Quick, hide your backpack.”
Just as Shen Zhengliang hid the backpack, the Revolutionary Committee rushed in. "Someone reported you for engaging in speculation and profiteering. We have been ordered to search you."
Uncle Li was so frightened that he shrank to the side, trembling.
Shen Zhengliang also quickly supported him.
But his heart was fixed on the people in the Revolutionary Committee, fearing that they would find his backpack.
He carried two wild rabbits, a pheasant, and some wild coptis in his backpack, although these things were all wild in the mountains.
But that all belongs to the socialist collective.
If he were found out, even if he was not accused of speculation, he would be accused of undermining socialism.
By then, you won’t be able to escape labor reform.
Fortunately, the place Uncle Li pointed out to him was relatively hidden.
In addition, no matter how domineering those people in the Revolutionary Committee were, they did not dare to destroy things in ordinary people's homes, which is why he escaped.
After the people from the Revolutionary Committee left, Shen Zhengliang's heart was still pounding as if it was about to jump out of his throat.
"Comrade, please leave now! Don't come before the New Year. It's not safe!"
Shen Zhengliang hurried home carrying his backpack.
After returning home, he lay on the bed in sorrow, thinking that he had not made any money and had no way to explain to Wang Yumeng.
He got up again, cleaned the pheasant and rabbit, stewed pheasant soup, and braised a rabbit.
He found two jars, filled them with the stuff, sealed them tightly, and then carried them to the educated youth site.
He had agreed with Wang Yumeng today that she would not go to work and would take a leave to wait for him at the educated youth site.
But when he went there, Wang Yumeng was not there, but Lu Qiaoqing was there.
"Comrade Shen, are you looking for Wang Zhiqing? She just went out." Lu Qiaoqing told Shen Zhengliang enthusiastically.
Shen Zhengliang picked up his things and prepared to leave, "Thank you Lu Zhiqing, I'll come see her later."
Lu Qiaoqing said, "Don't stay for a while. I'm too lazy to run back and forth. Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"
Shen Zhengliang knew that Wang Yumeng lived in the same room with Lu Qiaoqing and two other female educated youth at the educated youth center.
He said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "This...is not appropriate..."
If word got out that he, a grown man, had entered the dormitory of the educated youths...
Lu Qiaoqing smiled and said, "What's inappropriate about this? You can just sit in the main room. Wang Zhiqing should be back soon anyway."
Shen Zhengliang: …
He touched his nose awkwardly. He thought Lu Qiaoqing wanted him to sit in the dormitory, but it turned out that she wanted him to sit in the main room.
If he refused again at this time, it would make his intentions even more obvious.
He carried his things into the main room and sat down upright.
At this moment, a piece of letter suddenly flew out from the female educated youth’s dormitory.
Out of politeness, Shen Zhengliang hurried to help pick it up.
Just when he was about to return it to Lu Qiaoqing, he saw his own name on the letter.
I couldn't help but read more of the content, and then I realized that the letter was not from Lu Qiaoqing, but from Wang Yumeng.
He was attracted by the part of the letter that mentioned him and read the whole letter.
After reading it, he felt as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, making him feel cold from head to toe.
At this time, Wang Yumeng came back from outside with a sullen face.
Before he even entered the door, he shouted angrily: "Lu Qiaoqing, you are kidding me, the brigade doesn't even have my phone number!"
She shouted as she walked in.
When he saw Shen Zhengliang, he couldn't help but be stunned, "Shen Zhengliang, you... why are you back?"
Shen Zhengliang looked at Wang Yumeng with cold eyes, "Why can't I come back? When you instigated me to go, you didn't plan to let me come back, right?"
Wang Yumeng realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "No, I meant, why did you come back so early? And why are you here?"
Shen Zhengliang clenched his fist and wanted to throw the paper at Wang Yumeng's face.
But he finally held back and sneered, "Why am I back so early? Why are you here? Don't I have to ask you?"
Wang Yumeng frowned in dissatisfaction. What is the attitude of Shen Zhengliang, the dog licker?
Even if he ran into the Revolutionary Committee arresting people at the black market, no one else was arrested. How could he dare to come back and get angry at her?
Wang Yumeng's face turned cold, and she was about to teach Shen Zhengliang a lesson.
Then Shen Zhengliang held a thin piece of letter paper in his hand and asked her, "Wang Yumeng, tell me, what does Chen Ziyun mean in the letter he sent you, asking whether your plan to arrest me was successful?"
He didn't even want to ask Wang Yumeng what Chen Ziyun meant by expressing his longing for her in the letter.
It is obvious from Chen Ziyun's words that her relationship with Chen Ziyun is far more than just revolutionary comrades.
Even Chen Ziyun's words hinted that they already had a closer relationship.
He originally wanted to question Wang Yumeng about what he meant to her.
But Chen Ziyun's question about whether the arrest plan was successful had already clearly told him.
