"Boss, we have visited more than a dozen villages in the past few days, but we haven't found anything strange."

"I privately asked several veterans who had returned from the army, and they all said that no strangers had come in or out of their village recently."

Yan Ziyuan was in Qinyu County at this time, listening to several subordinates reporting on the situation in the past few days.

"Boss, is there anything going on over there?"

"I'm currently in Shanhe Village, and I haven't found anything strange in the village yet."

"But Yanxun Mountain behind Shanhe Village is most likely where they hid their belongings. Intensify the search in the next few days and don't miss any suspicious corners."

"Xiaobai, go to Liushu Village later and find a man named Qin Yong. Just say you are his nephew. I have already greeted him."

"Don't leave out anyone in Willow Village, understand!"

"clear!"

"As for the others, we will slowly surround and close in on Liushu Village and Yanxun Mountain."

"If there's nothing else to do, just keep working!"

Separating from his comrades, Yan Ziyuan prepared to go to the county supply and marketing cooperative.

I couldn’t find any milk powder in town, so I wanted to buy two bags to nourish my little girl.

"Comrade, do you have milk powder for sale?"

"Yes, the bags are three dollars a pack, and the cans are seven dollars. Which one do you want?"

"Bring me three cans."

He only had three milk powder tickets, so he bought them all and took them back to feed her slowly.

When the salesperson at the supply and marketing cooperative heard him say he wanted three cans, he couldn't help but look at him seriously.

This young man is really generous. It is the first time she has seen someone buy three cans of milk powder at one time. Usually people are only willing to buy a bag.

Holding three cans of milk powder, Yan Ziyuan took a bus back to the village.

Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou came back from work and checked the courtyard wall again.

It was similar to what I saw at noon, so it seemed that the other party was going out at night.

"Sister Fu Yu, I seem to be a little nervous. I have been thinking about this matter for the whole afternoon. I almost accidentally pulled out the crops and mistook them for weeds."

"Calm down. The ones who shouldn't panic are you and me."

"Okay, I'll try to control myself."

Song Fuyu also suppressed her inner tension. In order to prevent the other party from repeating the same behavior again and again, she had to subdue him in one go.

Sitting on the kang, he lifted the curtain a little with one hand and peeked out from time to time, while the other hand, which was under the quilt, held a black electric baton.

The two waited until after one in the morning, but there was no movement outside.

After working all day, they couldn't hold on any longer and both fell asleep.

Because he was always thinking about this matter, Song Fuyu was in a light sleep all night. When he woke up the next morning, he had two big dark circles under his eyes.

Compared to her, Tong Youyou next to her is not much better.

The two men didn't even bother to wash up. They just put on their clothes and ran towards the back wall of the courtyard.

"It seems that the other party did not come last night."

The broken glass on the courtyard wall is similar to that of yesterday.

"Ah, if I knew who it was, I would really want to chop him up."

Tong Youyou held her head, extremely crazy.

She had been dreaming last night. She dreamed that someone had kidnapped her and Sister Fu Yu, that they were forced to marry people they didn't like, and she dreamed of many strange things.

All of this happened because of this person who came to destroy their beautiful lives!

After a quick lunch, he went back to work.

It has been a long time since he stayed up so late. Song Fuyu drank up all the strong tea in the kettle made with spiritual spring water in the whole morning.

In order to confirm her guess, she even took the time to visit Tong Youyou.

However, nothing unusual was found. Several people in the Youth League Institute were working hard. When they saw her coming, except for Mo Juan and the others, even Li Wende greeted her with a smile, his expression was normal.

After work, she lowered her head and walked back slowly.

Suddenly, she saw a shadow on the ground, "a wall" blocking her way, and she slowly raised her head.

Yan Ziyuan saw that her face looked a little bad, and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? Or did you not sleep well last night? Why do you look a little pale?"

She always looked energetic and full of vitality when I saw her before, but today she seemed a little tired.

"I just didn't sleep well last night."

"I bought some milk powder at the supply and marketing cooperative yesterday. Take it home and make a cup of it every morning and evening."

"I don't want it."

Song Fuyu looked at the milk powder in front of him but did not reach out to take it.

"You and I are not related, and you are not my partner. Please don't always send me gifts. It has a bad influence."

"If you meet the conditions, I can give you something, right?"

"Then I hope to be your partner if you are willing."

"Don't worry, I'm serious and I'm not being frivolous. As long as you agree, I'll file a marriage report with the higher-ups when I go back this time."

"You...I..."

Song Fuyu is really confused and overwhelmed now.

Just now she was wondering who pulled out the glass on the courtyard wall, and now he did this to her again.

I have never had such a headache thinking about a project plan before.

Seeing the complicated expression on her face, Yan Ziyuan didn't intend to push her too hard.

Fortunately, she didn't refuse at the first time. There was no rush, as he would be here for a while anyway.

"Don't worry about answering. Give me the answer in three days."

"Someone is coming, go back quickly."

Seeing someone walking towards them not far behind her, Yan Ziyuan stuffed all the milk powder into her arms and made way for her.

Song Fuyu returned to the room holding three cans of milk powder, his mind now filled with Yan Ziyuan.

She didn't know whether she liked Yan Ziyuan, but she knew that she was not opposed to getting along with him.

If it were modern times, she might not have thought too much about it.

If we are harmonious, we will interact; if we are not harmonious, we will separate.

But she was living in the 1970s, a time of conservative relationships. Once people decided to date someone, they would get married soon without thinking too much, otherwise it would be considered hooliganism.

They had originally planned to pickle kimchi at noon, but considering that they didn't get enough rest last night, they fell asleep not long after lying on the kang. They didn't get up until the broadcast for work sounded, and they got up with sleepy eyes.

"Sister Fu Yu, I just saw Jin Kai's eldest brother."

"He's so tall, it feels like he's almost touching the top of the gate."

Tong Youyou excitedly shared it with Song Fuyu beside her.

"Sister Fu Yu, is that bowl of chicken soup for him?"

"Hmm~"

"Ah? What did you say? I was distracted just now."

"I asked if you served him your chicken soup, and you said yes."

"......"

"Well, I gave it to him."

"Did you know each other before?"

She had already admitted it, and she didn't plan to hide it anymore.

"Not really, I just saw him before in Heng City."

"Wow~ what a coincidence~"

"You two are destined to meet after traveling over 2,000 kilometers together."

When I think about it this way, it seems like we are indeed destined to be together.

After work in the evening, I called Aunt Fang over.

"There are several ways to pickle sauerkraut, and the taste varies from household to household. Today we'll pickle the kind that's easiest to eat."

The three men rolled up their sleeves and prepared to get down to business.

Tong Youyou was responsible for washing the cabbage, while Song Fuyu cut the cabbage in the middle, and Aunt Fang helped boil the cabbage in the pot and then rinse it with cold water.

Drain the cabbage and put it into a large jar, then spread a layer of salt on the surface.

“Are you ready for the big rock?”

"It's ready. I'll go move in."

Song Fuyu brought in the clean stones from outside.

"Press on it."

"I'll give you some more strength, and press harder."

"Okay~"

While pressing, she even jumped up.

"It will be ready to eat in about twenty days."

"With the appetite of the two of you, this jar of pickled cabbage will probably last you several months."

"Thanks to Aunt Fang. If you hadn't come to help with the pickling, we would have no idea where to start."

"It's no big deal. You'll be able to do it yourself next time."

After dinner and washing up, the two of them went to bed again.

"Sister Fu Yu, do you think that person will come tonight?"
