At this moment, Ma Chunling pulled Su Tian aside and whispered, "Su Tian, when are you going home? Did you get a letter of introduction from the brigade leader?"
"Not yet, I'll go ask him to open it tomorrow. What about you? Are you going home or going to Beijing with Liu Jianfeng to see his parents?"
Ma Chunling hesitated for a moment, then said quietly, "I just can't decide where to go?"
"Why don't you go home and discuss it with your parents first? You're in Yunnan Province, and your home is so close to Guangxi Province."
Ma Chunling thought for a moment, then looked at Su Tian and said, "I'll discuss it with Liu Jianfeng first."
“There’s not much work to do lately. Didn’t you say it only takes a day to go back home?”
Then you should take him home to meet your parents first. Once your parents agree, you can go back to Beijing with him.
"Hey, this method is feasible. I'll go discuss it with him now, and if it works out, I'll ask the captain for an introduction later."
Fortunately, the work at the primary school was finished a couple of days ago, and now that it's the end of the year, there's not much work to do in the fields.
"Yes, you should go quickly."
Su Tian smiled as she watched Ma Chunling run away, then carried her basket back to her room.
After resting for a while, she immediately boiled water to prepare to process the pheasants in her basket.
Meanwhile, after finding Liu Jianfeng, Ma Chunling happily said, "Jianfeng, do you want to come back to Yunnan Province with me?"
"After I meet my parents, will I go to Beijing with you?"
After listening to Ma Chunling's words, Liu Jianfeng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, that's better. When you come back to Beijing with me, you won't miss home too much."
"Ha, that's great! Let's go get the letter of introduction now, okay?"
"OK."
Ma Chunling and Liu Jianfeng walked together towards the brigade headquarters. When they arrived, they knocked on the door and went inside.
"What brings you here at this hour, Ma and Liu, the educated youths?"
Ma Chunling looked at the captain and said with a smile, "Captain, we'd like you to drive home to visit your family. Is that alright?"
The captain looked at the two of them, his eyes scanning them over and over, and then he joked, "Are you two dating?"
“Yes, that’s why we’re getting letters of introduction so we can go home and meet our parents,” Ma Chunling replied with a smile.
"Heh... then congratulations! Usually, there's not much farm work to do in our village by this time."
In the past, letters of introduction for educated youth could be issued until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Do you need to wait that long?
"Yes, we need it, we absolutely need it." Liu Jianfeng nodded quickly.
Doesn't that mean they get a month-long leave to visit their families? Songjia Village is simply wonderful.
"Heh... If you live far away, it would take seven or eight days to travel by car to and from here, so this little bit of vacation isn't long."
After the captain finished speaking, he readily opened the letter for them.
"Thank you, Captain."
After Ma Chunling and Liu Jianfeng finished speaking, they immediately ran towards the educated youth settlement.
"We'll go back and pack our things now, and take an oxcart to town early tomorrow morning."
"Take a bus from the town to Donghai City, then take another bus from Donghai City to Ning City to transfer to a train."
Liu Jianfeng nodded happily as he looked at Ma Chunling's excited expression.
Ma Chunling returned to her residence and began packing her luggage, a happy smile on her face. She hummed a song as she folded clothes.
"Chunling, have you packed your things and gone home?"
Seeing how happy Ma Chunling was, Zheng Yuanyuan couldn't help but ask.
“Yes, aren’t you going back?” Zheng Yuanyuan and Xie Qiuying both shook their heads.
Why?
"Because we're afraid of taking the bus, and it's far and inconvenient," Zheng Yuanyuan said enviously.
“Yes, when I went to the countryside, just one train ride terrified me, so I decided not to go back,” Xie Qiuying added.
“That’s true. It’s not safe for you to travel by yourself. It’s better to stay at the educated youth settlement. If you miss home, just write a letter back home.”
"We know, so are you going back tomorrow?"
"Yes, I'm going home with Liu Jianfeng tomorrow."
"Oh my, you took him to meet your parents?" Zheng Yuanyuan teased.
"Yes, I'll meet my parents and see what they say."
"Hey, what's all the noise outside? Chunling, are you done tidying up? Should we go out and check it out?"
Zheng Yuanyuan looked curiously at the door and said to Ma Chunling.
"All packed up, let's go, Qiuying, want to come along?"
"Yes, then hurry up."
When the three of them arrived at the gate of the courtyard, a large crowd had gathered around the police car.
"Wasn't He Zhiqing detained? I heard she was detained for a month, and her time hasn't been up yet, so why is she back?"
"That's right, there are still about ten days left to make up a month. What's going on? Why were they released so quickly?"
Everyone was talking about it, even though she was unknowingly helping those criminals do some trivial things.
However, in order to punish this behavior, the police station only detained her for a month.
As the police car sped away, the nosy aunties surrounded He Hua, asking, "Why are you back? It hasn't even been a month."
He Hua stared at the people around her with a gloomy expression, without saying a word.
Then, as if thinking of something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Is she crazy? Something feels so strange."
Zheng Yuanyuan whispered in Ma Chunling's ear.
“It’s possible. He’s so gloomy, it’s unbelievable. But then he looks like he’s about to laugh or not. Is he plotting something?” Ma Chunling explained calmly.
He Hua ignored the people who were laughing at her, and proudly raised her head as she entered the educated youth settlement, her hand still covering her stomach.
"Hey, why is her hand on her stomach?"
Hearing Xie Qiuying's words, a clever aunt said mysteriously, "Of course she's pregnant."
"What? So she's pregnant? No wonder she wasn't detained long enough before they released her."
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in uproar.
Zheng Yuanyuan's eyes widened. "I didn't expect her to be so lucky. She was released while pregnant."
Ma Chunling snorted, "Exactly, this guy is too lucky. Maybe he'll be detained for a while."
She was always pretending to be uncomfortable here and there; people couldn't stand her anymore, so they let her go.
It has to be said that Ma Chunling's guess was spot on.
Since He Hua spent two weeks in the detention center, she has found herself constantly wanting to sleep, and no matter how much she sleeps, she can never get enough.
Moreover, I always feel nauseous and can't eat anything.
The police officers could only take her to the health center, where the doctor's diagnosis revealed that she was already one month pregnant.
When they took her back to the detention center, she caused trouble from time to time.
Feeling uncomfortable here and there, not just feeling nauseous but also complaining of a stomachache.
After a week of back and forth, they finally managed to send her back.
He Hua arrived at the educated youth settlement just as Chen had woken up.
Seeing He Hua sitting at the foot of the bed, he was instantly startled.
"He Hua, when did you get back?"
