What Song Youlin said was actually true. The next morning, the team leader rejected several people’s requests for leave, including someone from the Youth League Institute.

"I don't need to tell you how important spring ploughing is! You all are so excited when you hear the news, how come I haven't heard about this! From today on, anyone who wants to apply for leave to go into the city will not be approved until the spring ploughing is over, unless there are special circumstances.

All right, let's get back to work."

Song Shuangshuang gave her younger brother a thumbs up, he really hit the nail on the head!

After the team leader gave the order, the villagers focused their attention and put the emphasis on spring ploughing.

The educated youths all looked unhappy. The captain must have said this to them! Why can't they go to the city? What can a one or two day leave delay? Didn't the villagers do the same work before they came to the countryside?

Making a fuss about nothing! It's directed at them!

Gao Wenyuan was even more discouraged. He felt that since the team leader was targeting them, the educated youth, he would definitely not give them a place to go to university this year.

His family wanted him to work hard to get a place in school, so how could he do that? He had just received a remittance from his family, and hadn't had time to ask for leave to go to the city to buy it!

All day long, the educated youth who were going to give gifts to the village leaders were absent-minded at work.

In contrast to them, Song Shuangshuang and her companions were working very hard, which formed a sharp contrast with them. Anyone who saw them would have to praise them!

After a while, Song Shuangshuang and a few others went up the mountain at night to deliver things to Grandpa Sun and others. They hadn't been up here for a while.

When they were going back down the mountain, they accidentally saw a young girl blocking the way of a young man. They quickly hid themselves to avoid being embarrassed by the girl seeing them.

But Song Shuangshuang was really curious, so she poked her head out from behind the tree and looked in the direction of the two people.

This is amazing!

The person who was stopped seemed to be the captain's youngest son, but the girl who stopped him had her back to them. It was dark, so Song Shuangshuang didn't see the girl's face, but her figure looked somewhat familiar.

Song Shuangshuang was afraid that if she moved again she would be discovered by the two men, so she could only hide behind a tree and try to adjust the angle of her head to see more clearly.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, she still couldn't tell who the woman was. But she found that the captain's youngest son seemed to be avoiding the girl. He ran away after the two of them didn't say a word, as if he was afraid of being pestered by the girl again. The girl might also be afraid of being discovered, so she looked around and left.

"Those two guys left, let's go back too."

After saying that, Song Shuangshuang patted the dirt stuck on her body. She had just stuck to the tree in order to see who that woman was.

He Feiyang was watching from the side, not knowing what to say. He thought that if Song Shuangshuang was agile, she could climb to the top of the tree to watch the fun, so he jokingly asked her if she could see clearly who those two people were.

Song Shuangshuang raised her eyebrows and said, "Let's go back and talk about it." This is a big melon and we can't eat it outside.

When they got home, Tan Anjing couldn't wait to pull Song Shuangshuang into the house. She was so curious all the way.

"Don't worry, let me wash my hands first."

After washing her hands, Song Shuangshuang told them that the man just now was most likely the captain's youngest son, Bai Han.

"Ah? Who is that woman? Did you see clearly?"

Song Shuangshuang shook her head. "I didn't see it clearly. She never turned her head around."

Tan Anjing immediately showed a disappointed expression. What a pity, I didn't get to eat the melon.

The few of them didn't take it seriously, because who knows, it might be some brave girl in the village who was pursuing love. They had to find out what happened. If the girl got eaten, how would the villagers look at her? They just watched the fun.

Besides, if anything happened to the captain’s youngest son recently, wouldn’t they know about it?

A few days later, when they went to the threshing ground to grind grain at night, they met Bai Han again, but this time he was alone.

"He Zhiqing, Song Zhiqing, are you here to grind grain as well?" Bai Han was pushing the millstone, and there was still some grain on it that had not been ground out.

"Well, the grain has been eaten up a little fast recently. Let's grind more while we are not tired from working." Several people put the grain on the ground. He Feiyang and Song Youlin went to help Bai Han push the mill and asked him to use a small broom to collect the grain into the bag.

"Thank you!" Bai Han didn't expect them to help him. Fortunately, the remaining food could be finished in less than ten minutes, so he accepted it generously.

He Feiyang told him not to be so polite, just helping to push the millstone for a while would not take much effort. If he finished earlier, they could grind grain earlier.

They were going to come to grind grain two days ago, but there were a lot of people in the threshing ground, and they couldn't get a place in the moment, so they changed their schedule and came today.

He is quite lucky today. There is no one else here except Bai Han, and he is almost done.

With the help of He Feiyang and Song Youlin, it was done in just a few minutes.

Bai Han packed his own grain into a bag and put it aside, saying that he would help them grind the mill.

"Okay, okay, it's dark now and you don't even have a flashlight. Besides, there are four of us, so we don't need you. Let's go back now."

"Okay then, call me if you need help in the future. Thank you for today, I'll go back first." Bai Han thanked them while carrying food.

Song Shuangshuang and her friends came to the grain mill to conceal their true intentions. Their living conditions were better now, so how could they eat cornmeal porridge every day like when they first came to the countryside? They came to the threshing ground to let the villagers see that they ate the same food as everyone else.

The grain still needs to be ground, but Song Shuangshuang and Tan Anjing don't need to push the mill alone. They are only responsible for adding grain to the millstone and sweeping the grain with a broom.

The four of them chatted while grinding the mill, and time passed quickly. In less than an hour, all the grain they brought was ground.

On the way back, they met Jiang Jingcheng brothers.

The people who were talking and laughing stopped, and Song Shuangshuang's smile froze on her face instantly. She remembered the nonsense Jiang Xuyang said when they came down from the mountain on the third day of junior high school. She tried hard to control her gaze and not look at the two brothers.

He Feiyang and Tan Anjing looked at Song Shuangshuang with some concern. They didn't dare to mention this matter when they came back from the mountain that day, for fear that Song Shuangshuang would be embarrassed.

"Have you just come back from the threshing ground? Is there anyone else?" Jiang Jingcheng said while looking at Song Youlin, but actually his attention was on Song Shuangshuang behind Song Youlin.

"Then there is no one left. We are the last ones." Song Youlin knew what Jiang Jingcheng was thinking, but his sister obviously didn't want to mention this person. While answering, she moved to the side, blocking Jiang Jingcheng's sight.

Jiang Xuyang also realized that something was wrong and wanted to explain to them that what he said that day was just a fabrication, but he was afraid that he would say something wrong.

Since he came back on the third day of junior high school until he started working and his family was building a new house, no matter how much he begged his brother, his brother never said a word to him, not even a glance at him.

Afraid that his brother would ignore him again, Jiang Xuyang could only stand behind his brother and keep his mouth shut.

"It's too late, let's go back first."

Knowing that his sister didn't want to stay here any longer, Song Youlin didn't say anything else to the two brothers and went back.
