Tian Ke came over during the day to ask Su Qingmeng for advice on making a cotton-padded jacket. "Hey, Qingmeng, have you heard that there's a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University in Songjiang Brigade this year?"
"I haven't heard of it. Who told you that? Is it true?" "I accidentally heard Zhang Fang and Hu Aidang talking about it. They said it was the turn of the educated youth this year." Tian Ke said.
Su Qingmeng said, "It's not our turn as new educated youth." "Who do you think will get this spot? I think Hu Aidang is the most likely," Tian Ke guessed.
Su Qingmeng recalled that in the original book, it was Guo Wei who went to school in the end. Although the educated youths were like eight immortals crossing the sea and each showed their own magical powers, Guo Wei was slightly better in the end.
He married the captain's daughter Lin Meimei and left, but later abandoned her. Lin Meimei was the most love-brained person in the original book, but her ending was tragic.
Su Qingmeng said, "Let's try not to get involved." Tian Ke nodded. While Su Qingmeng was teaching her, she finished making her own cotton-padded jacket.
Zhou Wenxi discussed with her that the two of them should save up a jar of sauerkraut together. She had previously exchanged directly with the villagers, but this year she wanted to make it herself. The quantity was too small to be worth the hassle, so she invited Su Qingmeng to make a jar with her.
Su Qingmeng agreed, and they ordered a large ceramic jar and learned how to store sauerkraut from Aunt Dahua. Aunt Dahua came to the educated youth center to teach them, helping them make a jar while she taught them, and then happily left with a bag of brown sugar.
Su Qingmeng tried to probe, "Sister Wenxi, I heard that the brigade has a quota for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. Did you know about it?" Zhou Wenxi said casually, "I know, but I don't think I'll be selected."
Su Qingmeng thought that was a good idea. The college entrance examination would be resumed next year, and the college students who passed the exam would be more valuable. Their small group could just watch the show.
Su Qingmeng continued preparing for winter. She knitted herself two sweaters. The wool yarn produced by the farm's textile mill was white, and she thought she could get some dye next year. Cotton was also white, and both needed dyeing. After she finished her own, she knitted one for Lin Xiuyao.
The old educated youth were indeed stirring. They heard that the village cadres' homes were flooded with visitors. They wondered if they had accepted any gifts. Lin Xiuyao also came over to ask if she had any thoughts. Su Qingmeng replied righteously, "I just arrived in the countryside and haven't made any contributions to the village yet, so I won't fight for it."
Lin Xiuyao's lips curled slightly, looking nonchalant: "Okay, Su Zhiqing is really a good comrade."
Su Qingmeng ignored his teasing. "Are you on good terms with your uncle's family?" Lin Xiuyao said, "Not bad, what's wrong?" Su Qingmeng whispered, "Your sister, Lin Meimei, you should pay attention to her."
Lin Xiuyao frowned. "Is it Guo Wei?" Su Qingmeng was surprised. "You reacted quite quickly."
Lin Xiuyao thought, "Let me talk to my uncle."
Not knowing how the captain would handle the situation, Su Qingmeng waited to see what would happen.
At the end of October, the temperature starts to drop and the weather turns cold. It becomes cold even when wearing thick coats in the morning and evening.
Lin Xiuyao came over last night to say that he had finished his work and would be in the village from now on. After breakfast, Su Qingmeng went to see him with the knitted sweater. When she entered, Lin Xiuyao was brushing his teeth.
"You just woke up?" Su Qingmeng walked straight into the room. Lin Xiuyao quickly rinsed his mouth and followed him in. "I didn't get enough sleep the past few days, so I woke up at this time today."
"I knitted a sweater for you, try it on." Su Qingmeng handed the sweater to him. Lin Xiuyao was flattered: "Did you knit it yourself?" Su Qingmeng said, "Yes!"
Lin Xiuyao immediately took off his clothes and tried them on. Su Qingmeng covered her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me you were taking off your clothes?" Although she covered her eyes quickly, she still saw his abdominal muscles and mermaid line. He had a great body.
"You're going to see it sooner or later, why are you shy?" Lin Xiuyao's voice came with a smile, "You're done, put your hands down."
Lin Xiurao, wearing a white sweater, had the aura of a nobleman. Su Qingmeng circled around him and nodded in satisfaction. It was just right.
Lin Xiuyao said, "I have a gift for you too." He took out a black box, which was a radio. "The winter is long here. If you're bored, you can listen to the radio to kill time."
"This is too expensive, I can't accept it." A tape recorder now costs about 200 yuan, and Su Qingmeng didn't want to accept such an expensive gift from him.
"I'll give it to you when we get married. Nowadays, weddings in the city require four major items. I bought them in advance so you can use them earlier. The sewing machine will arrive after the New Year, but it's out of stock now." Lin Xiuyao said seriously.
The young man was sincere and he was working hard to cultivate this relationship and work hard for their future. Su Qingmeng was moved and she hugged Lin Xiuyao, "Why are you so nice!"
Lin Xiuyao was stunned for a moment, then hugged her back and said with a smile, "Then will you marry me soon?"
"No, I was treated better before I got married, and I'm not sure how it will be after I get married!" Su Qingmeng refused.
Lin Xiuyao chuckled, "What are you thinking about every day in your little head? I will treat you better after we get married."
What is easily obtained will not be cherished. Although Su Qingmeng was very touched, she was also very clear-headed that it was too early to get married now.
"Okay, go eat. I'll study the radio." Su Qingmeng let go of him.
The radio only had two knobs: volume and frequency. Su Qingmeng extended the antenna and turned the frequency. Soon, a song could be heard in the room. It was "Liuyang River," sung by a beautiful female voice with a moving melody.
After the song, there was a storytelling program, which was quite interesting. Su Qingmeng listened attentively, and Lin Xiuyao came in after lunch to listen too. The two of them listened with great interest until noon. Su Qingmeng did not stay for lunch and took the radio back to the educated youth site.
Su Qingmeng was listening to the radio. There were a lot of interesting programs on it now, including novel broadcasts, movie recordings, and children's programs. Su Qingmeng was knitting a scarf while listening. Zhou Wenxi knocked on the door. "Qingmeng, I heard someone else's voice in your room. Are you okay?"
