After the two of them entered the educated youth settlement, Su Tian pulled Ma Chunling aside and whispered to her, "I've noticed you've been secretly smiling lately. Is there something good happening to you?"
Looking at the teasing Su Tian, Ma Chunling said shyly, "I have a boyfriend."
"Oh, I see. Is it the one where we educated youth gathered?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"I also know who that person is."
"Then tell me, who is it?"
Su Tian whispered Liu Jianfeng's name in her ear, and Ma Chunling heard that Su Tian had actually guessed it.
He patted her lightly, his face flushed with shyness, and said, "You're so annoying! How did you know it was him?"
Su Tian said mysteriously, "Because a long time ago, I noticed that he would look at you from time to time, and when you spoke, he would secretly smile."
"Hmph, why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"Why should I tell you? It's better for you two to confess your feelings to each other. When did you two officially become a couple?"
"It was confirmed last week; he confessed his feelings to me first."
"Hmm, not bad. I remember his family is from Beijing, right? Will his family approve of the two of you? You're from Yunnan Province, a true southerner, while he's from the north."
"Well, I don't know yet. We'll tell our families when we've discussed it to a certain extent, okay?"
"Chunling, I think it's better to tell him sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the deeper your feelings become, the more awkward it would be if you told his family and they didn't approve of you two being together."
Deep feelings are hard to break, and if it also causes a bad relationship between him and his family, you won't be treated well if you marry him.
Ma Chunling was quietly pondering what Su Tian had said. Seeing her like that, Su Tian didn't disturb her and went back to her room.
Back in her room, Su Tian wanted to be lazy today. She wouldn't cook; she'd just eat a few steamed buns and drink a cup of malted milk powder.
When Liu Jianfeng returned, Ma Chunling took him to the vegetable garden and told him what Su Tian had just said.
"Jianfeng, will your parents agree to our relationship?"
Liu Jianfeng looked at Ma Chunling, who was being cautious and looking dejected, and smiled happily.
When Ma Chunling saw Liu Jianfeng still smiling, she was already extremely annoyed, and he still dared to laugh.
"You, you still dare to laugh?" Ma Chunling pinched her arm, but it was hard and she couldn't pinch it, and it even hurt her hand.
"Chunling, I'm not laughing anymore, don't be angry. My parents used to say that as long as I can find a boyfriend, they don't need to worry about anything else."
"Really? You're not kidding me? You're so casual about finding a partner? There aren't any requirements?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you. Or I can write to them later and ask them to reply to me, and then I'll show you."
Don't overthink it. Where did my lively and adorable Chunling go? Smile!
"Hmph, so glib." Ma Chunling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Liu Jianfeng's funny face.
"Let's go back."
After Liu Jianfeng finished speaking, he took Ma Chunling and went back together.
They walked to the entrance of the educated youth settlement, and then immediately let go.
Ma Chunling didn't want others to know about her relationship too quickly; she wanted it to be stable before letting outsiders know.
A smile appeared on their faces. After entering the house, Liu Jianfeng began writing a letter, while Ma Chunling went to the kitchen to help cook.
Meanwhile, at the village chief's house, Song Weiguang hadn't been to town for the past two days because the black market was being cracked down on, and they were temporarily not operating.
He took a pound of White Rabbit candy from home and ran towards the educated youth settlement.
When he was almost at the educated youth settlement, he called out to Gou Dan, "Gou Dan, come here, here's a White Rabbit milk candy for you. Go to the educated youth settlement and call out to Educated Youth Li. Tell her someone is looking for her. Can you do that?"
"Yes, you wait, Uncle Xiaoguang."
"Okay, I'll wait for you under this big tree. Remember to call her over here."
After giving instructions to Gou Dan, Song Weiguang stood under the tree, feeling relaxed, and waited for Li Chanjuan.
He stood under the big tree for a long time, thinking about holding hands with people, kissing and hugging them, and even what to name the child when it was born.
Gou Dan ran to the educated youth settlement and shouted loudly, "Sister Li, Sister Li."
Because Li Chanjuan was the only person with the surname Li at the educated youth settlement, she quickly came out when she heard a child calling her.
She knew Gou Dan; the kid ran all over the village, it was hard not to know him.
"Dog Egg, what do you need me for?" Li Chanjuan asked softly.
"Sister Li, come out first, I need to talk to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Chanjuan opened the courtyard gate and came out, then followed him to the base of a large tree not far away.
When Song Weiguang saw Li Chanjuan come out, he quickly chased Gou Dan away.
“Li Zhiqing, I called you out because I wanted to give you candy. All this candy is for you.”
Li Chanjuan then realized that it was the village chief's youngest son who had called her. "You called me out just to give me candy? Why this? I don't remember you owing me anything."
"I just wanted to give it to you, so here you go."
"I won't take it if you don't explain it clearly."
“I like you and I want to be with you,” Song Weiguang said, staring at Li Chanjuan.
Li Chanjuan blushed involuntarily as she looked into his eyes. But she still managed to say, "Please don't, I don't like you."
"How about we get to know each other a bit first, and then you can reject me, okay? Don't rush to reject me."
“You don’t go to work almost every day, but I go to work almost every day. It’s like we don’t know each other well.”
"Don't worry, I'll go to work with you tomorrow. I'll go too."
He looked around and whispered to her, "It's because I have to go to work in town at night and sleep at home during the day that people in the village started spreading rumors that I'm lazy and cunning."
