Wearing books about young educated youth in the 70s

Yang Wanwan shook her head.

"I chose the place. Although it is a little out of the way, it is clean and not far from work and school. Tingshan has been busy working on this while the school is on vacation. He can't do it alone. Please I asked people from the village and the neighboring village to help build the house. Since I was at work and didn’t have time to help with the fire and cooking, I asked Tingshan to pay me wages according to the day, so that I wouldn’t bother everyone.”

Zhou Tingshan originally wanted to build a two-story house, but she stopped her. She thought it would be better to save some money for later use. The house in the village would not last long. Although Tingshan didn't quite understand her idea, he still listened to her. It's covered with a layer of words.

In fact, now that it’s time to plant rice, and I have just a few days to spare, asking villagers to build a house is just a matter of words. At most, they will take care of food and drink, and no one will ask for wages, but if they can’t take care of food, they will be embarrassed not to pay. Rich family.

Xu Xiaoyu glanced at it from a distance when he started work. The house was being built very quickly and should be completed soon.

People in the village still take important events like marriage very seriously. Everyone has watched Zhou Tingshan grow up and knows that there are no elderly people in his family to help him, and the woman's mother's family is not interested in it. There is an enthusiastic sister-in-law who comes to the young couple after finishing her work to give instructions about the marriage. .

In addition to simple melon seed wedding candy, a new quilt, a washbasin, a spittoon and a hot water kettle, the elders in the village who can write must write invitations in advance, and find a sister-in-law in the village who cooks delicious food to support the banquet.

After talking about these matters, he also told the two of them in detail about the wedding on the wedding day. They were afraid that the young man would not know anything. The sister-in-law explained it in such detail that Yang Wanwan blushed and nodded silently.

The time has entered mid-June, and the male and female protagonists are preparing to build a house and get married, and Xu Xiaoyu has also started to study more seriously.

Cheng Zhou sometimes came to see her and saw her writing a question. He looked a little confused, but seeing that Xu Xiaoyu didn't take the initiative to talk about it, he avoided the topic.

"Do you want to eat wild sweet potatoes? I just went to the mountains to pick them."

Since the relationship was confirmed, Cheng Zhou has sent things to Xu Xiaoyu again and again, and his temper has become very gentle. He comes to Xu Xiaoyu whenever he has something to do, and he is completely different from before.

The other educated youths also went from surprise to numbness, from blessing at the beginning to feeling inexplicably unhappy when they saw these two people. They didn't know that this emotion was called single anger.

Xu Xiaoyu stopped writing and looked out of habit.

The small, light red round fruits in the basket looked particularly appetizing. She had never eaten such a thing before, so she played with it out of curiosity and was a little afraid to eat it.

"Picked from the mountain? Why did you suddenly remember going up the mountain? It rained a few days ago and the soil was washed away. Isn't it difficult to walk on the mountain road?"

Seeing her staring at the basket hesitantly, Cheng Zhou took the water from the well, washed each one and handed it to her.

"I found a new path and went up. Zhou Yian said there were wild sweet potatoes there, so I went to pick some. I ate one just now and it tasted pretty good."

Seeing that he was "testing the poison", Xu Xiaoyu took it and stuffed it into his mouth. It had a very sweet taste and enough water. It tasted really good.

"It's sweet and quite delicious. Zhou Zhiqing really knows everything. The children in the village play in the mountains every day without even noticing him. He's pretty awesome..."

He paused, washed some more and handed them to her.

"I was the one who suggested going to the mountain to look for it. Zhou Yian just found it early... Some educated youths found a lot of wild fruits on the mountain before, but they were gone after everyone picked them. This year, the fruits ripened early, and others didn't have time to go there. .”

Xu Xiaoyu always felt that his words were in response to her previous words of praise for Zhou Yi'an. She stared at him for a while, then took a few more and stuffed them into her mouth and chewed them.

"It turns out it's you. I thought it was Zhou Zhiqing. Then you must be too prescient, so amazing..."

Sure enough, Cheng Zhou's eyebrows relaxed, and even the slightest change could not escape her eyes.

"..."

After being speechless for a moment, Xu Xiaoyu's eyes slowly moved to the books on the table. She remembered that Cheng Zhou must have seen these books when he came over, and he didn't know why he didn't ask.

"...You saw these books, aren't you curious why I suddenly started studying?"

"You'll tell me when you want to."

Okay... This feeling is just like the last time I went to the county town with him. Cheng Zhou didn't ask where the pork he sold came from. It was strange and unexpected, and he felt respected.

She paused, not knowing what she thought of, and asked him about his past for the first time.

"Cheng Zhou, you said you were in the army before, so why did you suddenly go to the countryside? After joining the army, you shouldn't be forced to go to the countryside. Is there any change in this?"

"Well, something happened in my family at that time. My family discussed letting me temporarily withdraw from the army and find a remote place to go to the countryside to stay for a while. Unexpectedly, I stayed there for two years."

Xu Xiaoyu was a little surprised.

"Then you will return to the army in the future, right?"

It is actually quite easy to go back to Cheng Zhou's family under such conditions. As for the reason for going to the countryside, it is very likely that there are some hidden dangers at home or in the army that are not suitable for him to stay. When the hidden dangers are eliminated, he will naturally be transferred back.

Cheng Zhou nodded and spoke again immediately, as if he was afraid that she might misunderstand something.

"I will return to the army, but our relationship will not change. No matter where I am, I will come to see you when I have time... Besides, no one can predict what will happen in the future. If the policy is relaxed that day, all the educated youths can return to the city. What? We will all be in City A by then, and the two families will be close to each other, so it will be okay..."

The more he talked, the redder his ears became, but Xu Xiaoyu noticed what he said about the educated youth returning to the city. If someone else had said this, she would have thought it was casual. Cheng Zhou might have really heard the news.

It is only a few years since the educated youth returned to the city on a large scale. It is normal for some people in power to receive the news.

But she didn't ask anything directly.

"Those are things for the future. It's too early to say this now. Your one-month trial period has not yet expired. Whether we can succeed or not remains to be discussed... When will you go back to City A?"

"...Maybe next year."

When he heard about the probation period, Cheng Zhou felt a little unhappy almost instantly. Although he still had the same expressionless face, Xu Xiaoyu could see all kinds of subtle emotions.

Even she didn't notice that she always liked to stare at him and observe him, laughing while watching.

"Next year... You have been performing well recently. If you can continue to do so, you can become a regular employee in advance. Let's officially start talking about a partner. Comrade Cheng Zhou, do you have any objection to this?"

"no disagreement."

Cheng Zhou washed a lot of wild sweet potatoes as if his face changed. He looked very well-behaved. Yes, although Xu Xiaoyu didn't want to describe him as well-behaved, Cheng Zhou was really "virtuous" sometimes.
