Chapter 33 Preparing the Stinky Leaves
Wei Guangji had dinner at Yu Wanqing's house and left. Yu Wanqing sent him to the riverside of the brigade. After crossing the wooden bridge, they reached the road to the commune.
Wei Guangji said: "You go back, I will come to see you next time."
"If you have any questions, go to the commune and call me."
Yu Wanqing nodded: "Uncle Wei, please ride slower and stay in the commune for one night before returning to the county town tomorrow."
"Yes, I plan to stay in the commune for one night." Wei Guangji waved to Yu Wanqing with a smile, got on his bicycle and left.
He is going to visit his old friend tomorrow.
When Yu Wanqing returned home, she saw Huo Lanci and others waiting here.
She smiled and asked, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
"I ate it." Huo Lanci said, "Have your relatives left?"
"Yes." Yu Wanqing opened the door and let Huo Lanci in: "That's my father's comrade-in-arms. He works in Nanfu County. He came to see me when he knew I was in the Five-Star Brigade."
She sat down and looked at the calm man: "Why don't you ask me why I didn't invite you to dinner?"
Huo Lanci couldn't help but smile and shook her hand when he heard this: "Because you don't think it's necessary."
"If you want to take me back to meet your parents, I would be happy and willing to do so."
"You wish." This man really dared to think that. They had only been dating for a short time, and he actually wanted to meet her parents.
She looked at him and said seriously, "I'm only eighteen now. If we're still together when I'm twenty, I'll take you back to Shangyang to meet my parents."
She knew that many people nowadays get married after just one meeting, but she didn't want to get married so early.
She also planned to find time to go into the mountains in a few days to try to absorb the wood elements in the deep mountains and forests to enhance her abilities.
Returning to the city and getting married were not in her plans for the time being.
Huo Lanci thought that he was now 22 years old, so he could wait another two or three years. "I respect your choice, but I also want to remind you that no matter you take me home to meet your family when you are 20, or when you are 30, we will be locked together for the rest of our lives."
He glanced at her and smiled, "I considered carefully before choosing you as part of my life. Now that I have made the choice, I will not let you go."
Huo Lanci didn't care how other people lived. In his opinion, once he chose a partner, that was it for life.
Dating is a very serious and cautious matter. Huo Lanci needs to take all the unstable factors into consideration and ask himself whether he can bring happiness to Yu Wanqing and whether Yu Wanqing is the person he wants to choose. Only after considering everything can he make the final choice.
This was also the reason why Huo Lanci did not give an answer immediately when Yu Wanqing asked him the first time.
Yu Wanqing thought that Huo Lanci's reaction was really big. She said, "I'm just worried that your parents don't like me and won't allow us to be together. Then you will become a good kid who listens to your parents and kick me out."
Huo Lanci was sitting aside listening to Yu Wanqing's nonsense. This was definitely not what she was thinking just now. She was just trying to fool her.
Huo Lanci said: "What you are worried about does not exist. No one can interfere with my marriage."
Huo Lanci didn't want to continue talking about this topic with Yu Wanqing. He remembered what he had been thinking about for two days: "Your room is very big. I'll have someone make a reclining chair for you. You can read in the room on weekdays."
"Do you think I'm such a studious kid?" Yu Wanqing looked at Huo Lanci, "Besides, there's no electric light. Using an oil lamp to read will hurt your eyes."
Yu Wanqing admitted that she was lazy and didn't want to sit down instead of lying down when she got home, let alone read.
Seeing that it was almost 7:30, Yu Wanqing pushed Huo Lanci out the door and said, "Okay, stop thinking about it. If you want someone to do it, just do it. And make a small table for the room. When I'm not working, I can stay at home and make tea."
Yu Wanqing likes to drink tea, but she can't go into the space and move out a set of tea sets.
If Huo Lanci really had someone make a recliner and a small table for them, he could drink tea and chat with Huo Lanci when he was alone or when he and Huo Lanci were together.
It's very pleasant.
During the meeting, Guo Hongying and Zhang Hongqi approached Yu Wanqing. Before the production team leader arrived, Guo Hongying whispered, "Gu Xiaoru has been very close to Auntie Daniu's family recently. I saw Niu Erzhuang helping her with work a few days ago."
After listening to Guo Hongying's words, Zhang Hongqi also leaned over to Yu Wanqing's ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I heard from people in the brigade that Auntie Da Niu's family is not easy to get along with. You beat Gu Xiaoru last time, and I'm worried that she will use Niu Erzhuang to deal with you."
"When she was little, Gu Xiaoru knew how to use the kids in the alley to deal with people she didn't have a good relationship with."
Zhang Hongqi had seen Gu Xiaoru use her tears to trick the boys who liked her into dealing with other girls: "She even reported our teacher." She had disliked Gu Xiaoru since she was a child, thinking that she was narrow-minded, gloomy and very bad.
Zhang Hongqi never played with Gu Xiaoru, but he never expected that when he went to the countryside, he would be so unlucky to be assigned to the same commune and brigade as Gu Xiaoru.
It's just really unlucky.
Guo Hongying knew what Zhang Hongqi had whispered into Yu Wanqing's ear, so she reminded Yu Wanqing: "From now on, you must go in and out with Huo Zhiqing."
Yu Wanqing knew that the two of them were worried about her, so she smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, since you told me about it, I will definitely be on guard against them."
"You should also be careful. In her eyes, you and I are accomplices. If she wants to deal with me, she will definitely not leave you two behind." Yu Wanqing looked at Guo Hongying: "No matter where you go, you must follow Hongqi and don't go to places with few people."
"There are many ways to destroy a person. You can kill a lesbian by simply giving her a bad name."
Guo Hongying was so scared that she nodded quickly: "I will follow Hongqi."
The production team leader first talked about the work situation in the past few days, and then informed everyone before the meeting ended: "Tomorrow all members of the brigade will gather in the grain drying field in front of the brigade headquarters for a meeting. Remember not to go to the wrong place."
Auntie Daniu smiled and said, "You will definitely not go wrong. Everyone remember to bring some stinky leaves with you tomorrow night."
On the way back to the educated youth camp, Guo Hongying asked curiously, "Why do you want to bring stinky leaves?"
Lu Guohua and the other old educated youth were silent for a while before they slowly said, "There are a few special people living at the foot of Beishan Mountain."
"The foot of Beishan Mountain, isn't that where cattle and pigs are raised?" The educated youth station was built at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, which is about one kilometer away from the foot of Beishan Mountain. I knew about this place but had never been there.
After Guo Hongying finished speaking, she immediately understood what was going on.
She also fell silent.
Yu Wanqing and Huo Lanci walked side by side. She felt that the people around her were a little cold. When she returned to the door of her house, she whispered, "Are you okay?"
Huo Lanci shook his head: "It's okay, go back and have a rest. The harvest will start in a few days. Eat well and sleep well these few days."
The hard work is yet to come.
Huo Lanci didn't say anything, and Yu Wanqing didn't force him. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'm going back. You should go and rest as well."
Huo Lanci reached out and stroked the back of her head, looking at her with a smile: "Okay."
