◎First update◎
Liang Baoling was forced to accept her sister's love and carried the pile of books back to the house. Under the gaze of her third sister, she put the books neatly in order one by one. She sighed in her heart, thinking that her sister had changed after being in the city for so long! She actually treated her weak and poor sister cruelly!
"You can't go out and play all day. It's good to read more, especially for girls!"
Liang Baozhen thought that the college entrance examination would be resumed soon, and people would attach more and more importance to academic qualifications in the future. Not to mention college, even a technical secondary school would be popular. Now her younger sister's grades were not very good, so no matter what, she had to work hard and study more.
"Read more books, listen carefully in class, and practice calligraphy when you get home." Liang Baoling's handwriting is crooked and not very good, but it's only a little better looking than Xu Shengwei's.
"Got it." Liang Baoling nodded like a chick pecking at rice, not daring to disobey her third sister's nagging.
However, in order to divert her sister's attention, she remembered something and immediately started to tell tales.
"Sister, let me tell you, my eldest sister and brother-in-law had a fight recently!"
"Ah?" Liang Baozhen finally forgot to talk about her younger sister after hearing about her elder sister and her brother-in-law. She thought of Song Jianguo's obsession and was worried that he would do something to her again. "What's going on? Tell me."
Liang Baoling had seen her elder sister and brother-in-law quarreling twice recently. She had no idea whether they were quarreling or not, but she could hear them talking loudly through the glass window and was particularly excited.
"One time, my brother-in-law opened the door angrily and went out. I called him, but he ignored me. Another time, my eldest sister opened the door angrily. I called her, and she looked like she was about to cry." Liang Baoling recalled what happened some time ago. "My eldest sister didn't let me tell my parents."
"Did you say that?"
"Of course I did, but my mother told me not to mind it, saying I was just a kid. She went to talk to my eldest sister and brother-in-law, and it seemed to calm down again."
Liang Baozhen looked around the room and saw that no one else was there. "Then where did my eldest sister and brother-in-law go today? Do you know?"
"I don't know." She was so focused on going out to play that she only knew her parents went to her third aunt's house. "But I know where my second brother went."
"Where are you going?"
"He went to see Xu Zhiqing again."
Liang Baozhen quietly asked Liang Baojun last time about his current situation with the female educated youth Xu Shuping, but he was vague in his response.
"What's going on between my second brother and Xu Zhiqing? Don't let anything go wrong!" The single man and single woman are attracted to each other, but Liang Baozhen is worried because of the issue of the educated youth returning to the city.
——
At this time, Liang Baojun, who was helping to repair a house at the Youth Institute, sneezed twice for no reason. The tip of his handsome face and nose turned red. He wondered who was talking about him behind his back.
"Would you like a bowl of ginger tea?" Xu Shuping looked up at the man standing on the ladder and wondered if he had caught a cold from being caught in the rain last night.
There was a heavy rain in Damian Village last night, and it sounded like a galaxy leaking from the sky. The Youth League Institute was a renovated house made of earth and stone. The roof was thatched and not very sturdy. A rain accompanied by strong winds destroyed half of the house, and it was leaking both rain and wind.
Many villagers came to help, including Liang Baojun. He ran quickly and actively, and was relieved to see that Xu Shuping was safe and sound.
Today, all the educated youth moved to a temporary place and will not be able to return until the educated youth institute is repaired.
"It's okay. I have a body of steel and a will of steel. I won't catch a cold or get sick!" Liang Baojun was busy with his work, but he did not forget to care about Xu Shuping.
"Remember to build more houses in the village these days. The weather is unpredictable. It rained so heavily yesterday, but now the sun is out."
Xu Shuping looked up at the sky after hearing this. The sunshine after the rain is always warm, and it looks even more different when it shines on the handsome face of Liang Baojun.
However, she had to return to the city sooner rather than later.
"Comrade Liang Baojun, you'd better not come to the Youth League Institute." Xu Shuping didn't want to delay him. Her family would never agree to her marrying a countryman.
Xu Shuping's grandfather was a university teacher in the city, and her parents were both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners. During the movement, the whole family was labeled as the "stinking ninth" and sent to a farm for reform.
Because of this, she was sent to Damian Village as an educated youth. She was farther away from her family and had fewer ties with them.
Liang Baojun and Xu Shuping only became acquainted last year. They developed a liking for each other because of the distribution of pork in the village. They were both good-looking young men and women, and it was interesting for them to get to know each other. However, Xu Shuping was an educated youth after all, and her roots were not here.
Liang Baojun jumped down the ladder. The ladder was several meters high, and he jumped down directly, which scared Xu Shuping, who was afraid that he would fall.
"Comrade Xu Shuping, what's wrong with you! I'm going to criticize you." Liang Baojun stared at the young girl in front of him. She had a pretty face and was bright and attractive. Even after working in the countryside for a few years, she was still beautiful. Hearing this, she looked at him in confusion.
Liang Baojun cleared his throat and said, "Don't have any ideological problems. It's unhealthy to think about men and women all day long."
"I!" Xu Shuping was very shy. Liang Baojun spoke so righteously that her face turned red. She could only stammer, "I didn't. It was obviously you!"
Liang Baojun is handsome and eloquent, and she has a crush on him, but returning to the city is her dream, so she can only avoid him as much as possible. But now this guy is turning the tables on her!
"What's wrong with me?" Liang Baojun looked at Xu Shuping, who was like a little white rabbit, with drooping eyelashes and unable to speak fluently.
"You..." Xu Shuping couldn't continue. Could she say that this person liked her? He should stop coming to see her in the future. She would have to go back to the city sooner or later!
Xu Shuping raised her eyelids and glared at him. This man is so bad! As expected, what the other educated youth said was right. The second boy of the Liang family looked good, but he was lazy and could not say anything good!
"Okay, I was wrong." Seeing Xu Shuping's eyes turn red, Liang Baojun immediately changed his words, admitted his mistake in a deep voice, and smiled, "I like you and wanted to come to see you."
Swish! Xu Shuping's face turned even redder, and she turned her head away and ignored him!
A few educated youth who were packing up in the house came out and saw Xu Shuping fetching water, while Liang Baojun was silently packing up the brushes.
"Caixia, we're leaving first."
"Come over when you're done packing."
"Okay, got it." Xu Shuping packed up her bag and prepared to move to the temporary educated youth site. Just as she was about to pick up the bag, Liang Baojun snatched it away and easily carried it on his shoulders.
"Liang Baojun, I can get it myself, I don't need you. If someone sees it..." The villagers work in the fields all day long and have no entertainment activities, so they love to gossip.
Xu Shuping didn't want to be the center of attention.
"Don't worry, we'll take the small path, there's no one around."
Liang Baojun carried the luggage bag and took Xu Shuping along the mountain road. As expected, they didn't meet anyone along the way. The two walked forward in silence, one in front and the other behind.
"Why do you think I can't become a city dweller in the future?" Liang Baojun was serious for once. He knew that the Xu family looked down on country people and thought that marrying their precious daughter to a farmer would only bring hardship.
"What? Are you going to marry someone in the city?" Xu Shuping immediately replied with a smile when she heard this. He knew that Liang Baojun's sister had married someone in the city. However, after saying this, he felt that he was too inappropriate and tried hard to suppress the upturned corners of his mouth.
Liang Baojun was also amused. He stopped and raised his eyebrows at her, "Why, you, a city dweller, want to marry me?"
"You've got the best idea!"
Xu Shuping was so angry that she didn't want to pay any more attention to him. What was this guy saying?
The poor eighteen-year-old girl was tormented and her face was flushed.
When they were almost at the temporary educated youth institute, Liang Baojun returned the bag to Xu Shuping and said seriously for the first time, "Don't worry, I won't affect your reputation. You want to go back to your city, and I want to pursue my sweetheart. We can both do this without any delay!"
Liang Baojun was usually careless, and it was rare for him to speak seriously, especially when he looked at her directly. Xu Shuping's heart was pounding again. She really wanted to correct him for using the word "sweetheart", but she couldn't open her mouth.
"Your family has high standards, but I may be able to meet them. I will definitely not let my sweetheart suffer."
Xu Shuping's fair little face was red, and her ears were also red. When she looked at Liang Baojun, she fell into his smiling eyes. She lowered her head and dared not look again.
"I'll come to see you next time. We are young people with aspirations to exchange ideas and learn and progress together. Don't feel pressured!"
Liang Baojun clapped his hands and prepared to leave.
When I turned around, I heard a very soft "Hmm."
