When Chu Jingqiu and Xiao Chen drove back to the educated youth site, it was very lively and Grandpa He was directing everyone to prepare for the barbecue.
The male educated youth were responsible for processing the roe deer and rabbit meat, while the female educated youth helped to string together potato slices, steamed bread slices, as well as vegetables such as leeks and mushrooms.
Chu Jingqiu took out some barbecue seasoning from the space, and the driver Xiao Chen contributed two bottles of wine.
Grandpa He instructed everyone to cut the meat of the roe deer into small pieces and skewer them together. The roe deer legs and rabbits were marinated and then roasted whole.
At night, everyone built a bonfire, some were grilling meat, some were grilling vegetables. Everyone was busy non-stop, and the sound of laughter could be heard constantly.
After the roasting was finished, everyone sat around the stove and enjoyed the food.
The table was filled with skewers of fresh grilled meat, golden and crispy rabbit and roe deer legs cut into small pieces, skewers of refreshing vegetables, and crispy and soft steamed buns.
Everyone was eating with their mouths drooling. Everyone at the educated youth site today felt that this was the best meal they had had since going to the countryside.
Some people don't even have the conditions to eat such a rich meal at home.
Grandpa He was in a good mood today and drank a few more glasses of wine, getting a little drunk. Several male educated youth also fell down drunk.
Because the driver Xiao Chen had to drive home at night, he didn't drink, so he carried Grandpa He into the house.
Chu Jingqiu and her grandmother had already made the bed. She wiped her grandfather's face, washed his feet, and fed him a cup of black tea mixed with spiritual spring water.
He moved his quilt and pillow to Shi Aihong's room and went to sleep.
The two girls couldn't sleep when they got together and started whispering to each other.
"Jingqiu, what does it feel like to like someone, or to be liked by someone?" Shi Aihong asked.
"Do you have someone you like, or does someone like you? Tell me the truth." Chu Jingqiu asked jokingly while pinching Shi Aihong's neck.
"Okay, I'm telling you, you help me with this advice, but you're not allowed to tell anyone else, you hear me?"
"I know. Do I look like a talkative person? Come on, tell me!"
"When I came back from work that day, Zhou Weidong told me that he wanted to establish a revolutionary friendship with me. I didn't know how to respond, so I ran away.
I don’t know whether I like him or not. Anyway, I can always see him secretly looking at me, and sometimes we can even look into each other’s eyes.
I seemed to be able to read something from his eyes. I didn’t know whether I liked him or not, but I couldn’t help but look at him and observe him.
Jingqiu, do you think I like him too? What do you think of him?"
Chu Jingqiu turned around, looked at Shi Aihong, and said, "I think you like her too, otherwise you wouldn't be secretly observing him and looking into his eyes.
Zhou Weidong is a quiet person, but I think he is a good person.
Zhou Weidong originally wanted to join the army, but his younger brother was in poor health, so he went to the countryside to take his brother's place.
He also grew up in a compound. People usually say that he is very loyal and have a good opinion of him.
If you like him, you can try dating him."
After hearing these words, Shi Aihong felt a little embarrassed and shyly crawled into bed.
After a while, I heard her muffled voice from under the quilt: "Jingqiu, do you have someone you like?"
"No, I don't know what kind of person I like." After Chu Jingqiu finished speaking, for some reason, the image that came to his mind was Xiao Yihan's handsome and infuriating face.
And Xiao Yihan, who was thousands of miles away, was also lying in bed thinking about her.
He and Qi Yue came to Ontario to investigate some matters concerning Li Mengxue.
After visiting for so many days, we only found some basic information about Li Mengxue, which was consistent with the description in the file.
Li Mengxue's mother also came here with the opera troupe. When there was a famine in her hometown, her mother was sold to the opera troupe.
During the Anti-Japanese War, their small village was massacred by the Japanese, and only a few people who were not in the village survived.
Li Mengxue's mother went out to perform opera, while Li Mengxue was studying in another province, so the mother and daughter escaped this disaster.
But his father was not so lucky and was also killed in the massacre.
The village where the mother and daughter later lived was a new village formed by the merger of several villages. Li Mengxue was 15 years old at that time, and the villagers didn't know much about her family's previous situation.
Yesterday, an old shepherd provided them with a clue, saying that Li Mengxue had a neighbor whose son opened a small shop in the city.
On the day of the accident, she happened to be in the city taking care of her daughter-in-law who was in confinement after giving birth, and was one of the few survivors.
After the village was massacred, her family did not return to the village and lived in the county.
Xiao Yihan plans to go find the old lady tomorrow to investigate and see if he can find any useful clues.
He didn't know whether Chu Jingqiu could find any important clues in the next few days. The girl's beautiful face appeared in his mind.
I unconsciously raised a smile.
When Qi Yue came out of the shower, he found that his cousin's face was filled with the breath of spring.
"Brother, you are in heat! Look at how excited you are." He joked.
"Go away, a dog can't spit out ivory." Xiao Yihan scolded with a smile.
"Brother, I'm serious. You're not young anymore. My grandmother and my aunt are almost worried sick.
I'm almost crazy about wanting to hold my grandson. If you go back, there will definitely be a bunch of blind dates waiting for you!
You and Chu Zhiqing are a perfect match, and since you like her, you better seize the opportunity. Don't let someone else snatch such a beautiful and capable girl away from you."
After Qi Yue finished speaking, he stole another glance at Xiao Yihan, and finding that he was not as impatient as before, he plucked up the courage to continue speaking.
"You have to be more proactive when pursuing a girl. Confess your feelings when you go back this time, and buy her a gift or something."
Xiao Yihan didn't say anything, but it seemed that he listened to Qi Yue's words.
Early the next morning, the two drove to the county town. The old lady was called Li Cuizhi, and her son now worked in the county guesthouse.
When the two found Li Cuizhi, she was sitting under a big tree at the door and chatting with a few old ladies.
She brought the two of them home and enthusiastically made two cups of tea.
Xiao Yihan asked directly, "Grandma Li, we are conducting a routine investigation on behalf of the organization. We would like to know some information about Li Mengxue. I hope you can tell us."
The street office notified her yesterday afternoon that she must fully cooperate with the investigation by her superiors. Li Cuizhi herself is also a caring person.
She said enthusiastically, "Comrade, ask me and I will tell you everything I know."
Xiao Yihan then asked, "We just want to know about her family situation. Do you remember how her father and mother got married? And you can also tell us about Li Mengxue's childhood."
