From then on, whenever the two met, they would just nod and greet each other when there was no one around, and pretend not to know each other in front of people.
During this time, both of them heard about each other's heroic deeds from the villagers.
Lu Xiaoran heard from the villagers that Song Mingyuan was a small-time gangster who was not doing his job properly. He was cruel and insidious, and had been like a wolf cub since he was a child.
Song Mingyuan also heard about Lu Xiaoran's deeds in the Youth League Institute.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this girl appears gentle and amiable on ordinary days. She is actually very powerful.
She had never lost any argument or fight in the Youth League Home. If anyone wanted to bully her, it was impossible.
During the meal, Mrs. Song asked Song Mingyuan, "Son, you are not young anymore. Do you have a girl you like? I will ask someone to match you up."
Song Mingyuan paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, and Lu Xiaoran's figure appeared in his mind.
"No, Mom, don't worry about it. I can take care of it myself."
After hearing what her son said, Mrs. Song felt that this was a possibility.
She asked happily: "Mingyuan, from the sound of your voice, do you have a favorite girl?"
Song Mingyuan denied it: "Mom, really not."
Mrs. Song was a little disappointed when she heard her son say no.
Alas, Mingyuan from their family is already 19 years old this year. He is very capable, but he doesn’t even have a partner.
Song Mingyuan finished the porridge in his bowl, put down his bowl and chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely bring you a daughter-in-law in two years."
Mrs. Song said dissatisfiedly, "You are already so old. It will take another two years. By then, all the good girls will be picked up. Will you like the remaining ones?"
Song Mingyuan said with a smile: "Mom, then tell me what kind of daughter-in-law you like, and I will trick one into coming back for you."
"What do you mean by tricking her back? How can you talk like that? What kind of girl can you trick back? If you like her, we can marry her openly."
After saying this, he glanced at his son and added, "Your father and I have looked around and found that there are not many girls in our village who are worthy of you.
I think Lu Zhiqing from the Youth League Institute is pretty good. If you can trick her back, you'd be considered quite capable. ”
Song Mingyuan looked at his parents in surprise and chuckled twice. Their tastes were really similar. They all fell in love with the same girl.
In that case, he would try harder to bring the girl home.
Lu Xiaoran didn't know if she was overthinking it, but she felt that something was wrong with Song Mingyuan recently, as he was always hanging around her.
I thought he had something wrong. After all, he had saved me, so I found a time when no one was around and asked him, "Do you have something to ask me?"
Song Mingyuan was a little nervous. He was silent for a long time and still didn't dare to confess.
The two of them had only spoken a few times in total, and he was afraid that Lu Xiaoran would call him a hooligan if he said so abruptly that he was interested in someone else.
He made up an excuse and said, "It's been quite uneasy here lately. If you don't have anything to do, don't go into the city.
If you really have something to do, don't go out alone, find someone to accompany you. ”
Lu Xiaoran nodded and said gratefully: "I understand, thank you."
She has been going into the city quite frequently recently and has been here for almost three months.
I wrote several letters to my uncle asking about my parents and younger brother.
Her uncle always said everything was fine and told her not to worry, but he just wouldn't give her his parents' address.
She planned to take a leave during the New Year to go to Nanshi to see how her parents and younger brother were doing.
There was no news at all, and she was really worried.
Seeing that he was fine, Lu Xiaoran smiled, said hello and went back.
Today it was her and Li Xiaoyu's turn to cook at the Youth League Home. She had to go back quickly and prepare the meal after the other Youth League members came back.
Song Mingyuan sighed after watching her walk away. From the look of Lu Xiaoran's face, he could tell that she was not interested in him.
Fortunately, I didn't say it just now, otherwise we might not even have the chance to meet alone in the future.
Lu Xiaoran received a letter from his brother a few days later. Along with the letter, there was also a hundred yuan.
The letter said that he was now serving in the Nanshi Military Region, and the money was brought back from home by Ho Ying-tung, Guan Zi, Dong Gua and a few others.
Not only money, but also household belongings were taken to the courtyard by them.
He also said that he would send her money every year so that her sister could spend it as needed and not have to be frugal.
Lu Xiaoran put the letter and money in his pocket, stood by the river, and let the tears slide down his face.
Now that there was no one else here, she allowed herself to be weak for a moment.
The sound of footsteps approaching from afar interrupted Lu Xiaoran who was crying silently.
She wiped her tears, reached into her pocket, grabbed the pebbles inside, and turned around.
When she saw who it was, she breathed a sigh of relief.
