The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

"Are you really Lu Lian's sister?" The man looked her up and down suspiciously.

"Is this fake?" Lu Minghui was unhappy. "If I were fake, would I come here pretending to be someone else?"

The man nodded: "He is on a mission and not at the base."

"What mission? Where did you go?" Lu Minghui was anxious.

The man became even more suspicious. He looked at her again, shook his head and said, "He should leave a message to his family before carrying out the mission. I have no right to tell you." He waved at her and said, "You'd better go. You can't wait for him." After that, he turned around and went back without saying anything to her.

"Hey! Wait a minute, at least tell me where he went and how to contact him?" Lu Minghui shouted loudly, but saw the man walk away without even looking back.

The sentry saw her trying to break in, so he stretched out his hand to stop her and said, "Comrade, we won't disclose anyone's whereabouts here. Please stop shouting. This doorway is not a place for you to stay for long. Please leave."

"You..." Lu Minghui gritted her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only ask, "You can always tell me when he will come back, right?"

The sentry shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Then when did he leave?" Lu Minghui asked.

"In May, he left a few days after he last left the laboratory." The sentinel was the same sentinel from last time, and she remembered that she came to find Lu Mingzheng.

Lu Minghui opened his mouth, but couldn't ask anything.

When Lu Mingzheng came out of the laboratory in May, she was waiting here. He had seen her before, but he did not tell her that he was going to carry out a mission, nor did he tell her where he was going or how long he would be gone.

There has never been a moment like this where Lu Minghui felt that her elder brother was so far away from her, as if... in fact, they had already lost him a long time ago.

I left in a depressed mood and took a bus back to Beijing. When I passed by the Post and Telecommunications Building, I went in and made a phone call.

Someone picked up the phone and passed the message on. Soon, the voice of the eldest sister Lu Mingshu came: "Hello, little sister."

"Big sister!" When Lu Minghui heard her sister's voice, there was already some grievance in her voice.

"What's wrong?" Lu Mingshu asked immediately, "Who bullied you? Was it that woman? Zhu Xiaomin?"

Lu Minghui sniffed and snorted, "I told her that Mom wanted to see her grandson, but she ignored me and said she didn't recognize our family."

"How ridiculous!" Lu Mingshu gritted his teeth, "Go find Mingzheng and tell him that mom wants to see the child. I don't think he dares to deny it."

"I looked for him, but my brother was out on a mission and no one told me how to find him. It must have been that woman's request." Lu Minghui's voice sounded even more aggrieved.

"That woman's request?" Lu Mingshu raised his voice and sneered, "You go back first. I will find out where he is by tomorrow at the latest." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

Lu Minghui looked at the microphone, sniffed, and put away the aggrieved look on her face. She paid the phone bill and returned to school.

I called again the next day, but the answer I got was: "Your brother is indeed on a mission. He went to the northwest Gobi Desert and we can't contact him. You should come back first."

"Where is that woman?" Lu Minghui asked immediately.

When Zhu Xiaomin was mentioned, Lu Mingshu on the other end of the phone also felt annoyed: "She doesn't want to come, and you can't tie her up. Come back first, and we'll discuss it later."

Although he was reluctant, Lu Minghui had no choice but to agree and buy a ticket back to Longcheng.

On the other side, Lu Mingzheng also received a message from Chu Liangsheng: "Your sister came to see you, I didn't tell her where you were, you can decide for yourself whether it is necessary to contact her."

"Got it!" Lu Mingzheng put down the walkie-talkie and went back to work.

Students can leave school after finishing their exams, which is fine for students from the capital and nearby suburbs, but students from other provinces have to calculate travel expenses, especially students from the villages.

At this season, the village is in the off-season, and there is no work to do if you go home. The round-trip fare is dozens of yuan, so most people choose to stay, paying three or five yuan a month and renting a bed in a fellow villager's home.

As for educated youth like Xing Qingsheng and Chen Xudong, they naturally did not go home since they had new tasks. They chose a warehouse and temporarily built two large bunk beds with waste wooden boards. They could live there by just moving their bedding and spreading them out, thus saving the money for accommodation.

The warehouse is built, and the next step is to go through the relevant procedures.

Zhu Xiaomin was a factory manager, so it was not difficult for him to set up a sales agency in Beijing for the food factory. Moreover, the educated youth had already secured sales channels from several supply and marketing cooperatives and non-staple food stores.

After that, they found a thick large wooden board and had Xing Qingsheng and several skilled workers make a plaque with the words "Beishan Cijiaokou Commune Zhulu Food Factory Sales Outlet" written on it in Chen Danqing's handwriting.

Then chisel out the words little by little, and finally paint it, and a plaque with black words on a white background is ready.

In order to have a sense of ceremony, we bought a string of firecrackers on the day of the listing, invited cadres from two brigades to watch the ceremony, and cut the ribbon in a lively manner.

After several discussions, each village here selected an old man in his fifties to be the gatekeeper, who would take turns to serve once a week. When cargo arrives, two battalions of militiamen would also be asked to take turns on duty.

In mid-July, one evening, finally, a medium-sized truck drove into the capital and stopped at the entrance of Wangjia Village. A young man jumped out of the car, asked the villagers for directions, and ran to the former elementary school, which is now the yard where Zhu Xiaomin and others live.

In the yard, Xie Chengzhi was helping a few children with their homework. He heard someone knocking on the door and opened it. He saw Li Wenzhe standing outside. He shouted "Ah!" and hurriedly opened the door wide, saying, "Come in quickly." He then shouted, "Xiaomin."

Li Wenze shook his head and took only one step forward. When he saw Zhu Xiaomin coming out from under the roof, he immediately said, "Director, I'm here to deliver goods. The truck is parked outside the village. I don't know where to unload it?"

Zhu Xiaomin was surprised: "I thought we would have to wait for a few days." She said to Xie Chengzhi, "Let's go with them." She turned around and said a few words to Mrs. Jiang, then called Miao Shiwen to go out together.

Outside the village, at the truck side, Huang Xiaojuan saw a few people coming out and immediately smiled and waved her hands happily.

When Zhu Xiaomin saw her coming, she was surprised and delighted. She walked over quickly, held her hand and asked with a smile, "Why are you here?"

Huang Xiaojuan smiled and said, "I only saw the situation you described here. We didn't see it either. With so many goods brought here, I have to know how to sell them."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Let's go to the warehouse first." Pointing in another direction, "It's right there."

Li Wenzhe and Huang Xiaojuan looked in the direction she pointed, and saw a large upright fence about a few hundred meters away from the fields. Apart from that, they could not see anything else and were stunned for a moment.

Where should I put such a truckload of goods?

Xie Chengzhi beside him smiled and said, "You guys squeeze in and sit in the front. Wen Ze and I will sit in the bucket." He pulled Li Wen Ze into the car together.
