The Red Era: Starting from Being an Educated Youth in the Countryside

Chapter 67: Entering the house?
Lin Zhen's contact with the golden retriever became more frequent as she carried people on her back.

Isn’t it said that Golden Retriever is a person who knows how to cover up?
The death of his daughter-in-law made him look very sad. Seeing the grown man showing such weakness, Lin Zhen felt soft-hearted and comforted him with soft words.

As time went by, we had more and more contacts.

The golden retriever is good at coaxing people. Today he gives eggs, and tomorrow he gives steamed buns made of two grains of flour. His eyes are always looking at people with affection. After being rejected twice, how could Lin Zhen bear such care and love?

It fell in an instant.

I don’t know how long I will have to stay in this remote place. Golden Retriever works diligently, so at least we have enough food. We have the same ideas, so why can’t we get along with each other?

As long as she doesn't get a marriage certificate, she will have no chance to go back even if she wants to. She just chooses the situation that is most beneficial to herself.

After confirming their mutual feelings, Golden Retriever couldn't help himself and quickly picked a time, planning to get the thing done by the end of the month.

In this era, only well-off families could hold a wedding banquet. Normally, the family would just have a meal together, and that was considered the end of the affair.

When the comrades at the educated youth point learned the news, they were even more shocked than when Liu Jun and Widow Liang were involved.

Liu Li was so angry that she was shaking. "Lin Zhen, it hasn't even been a month since Xiao Shuang passed away. Do you have any sympathy? Her body is still warm, yet you are so impatient."

Liu Xiaoyu snorted coldly, "Some people are just heartless! They even said they were going to visit someone, but I'm afraid they might have accelerated Xiaoshuang's death!"

I have to say, the truth is out.

But when a person dies, it is like a light going out, no one can understand it.

Lin Zhen packed her bag and said, "I just said it. If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"Xiao Shuang can't make it out on her own. Does she have to wait for Jinmao to stay with her forever? Her family hasn't treated her badly. She is just not destined to enjoy happiness."

There is nothing much to say about such a radical person.

Liu Li and Liu Xiaoyu turned around and left without paying any attention to her.

Tian Dong has never liked to get involved and had gone to read a book a long time ago.

Yang Xiaolin also made an excuse and left. Since they were no longer living together, there was no need to maintain a superficial relationship.

Some people are very sincere to you, but others are also very cruel. Why waste your emotions?

The man with glasses pushed his glasses and walked away. He was very greedy, but he would not eat this meal.

Chen Huaiyang still sat there motionless, treating her as air.

Finally, Lin Zhen picked up her bag and followed Golden Retriever.

What she didn't know was that if something was too easy to get, she wouldn't cherish it. If she offended the educated youth, it would be like breaking down a solid fortress.

Jinmao was naturally happy to see this happen and hoped that these educated youth would not come to disrupt the situation.

After Lin Zhen left, Yang Xiaolin lived alone. Chen Huaiyang looked around at the empty space, pushed open her door and went in. He immediately saw someone lying on the kang to rest.

Chen Huaiyang walked over, lifted the quilt and crawled inside. Yang Xiaolin watched him in confusion and raised her foot to kick him, but was restrained tightly.

"What are you doing? Are you entering the house now?"

Chen Huaiyang stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, resting his head on her neck, "Who told you to hide from me? How did I offend you?"

Yang Xiaolin couldn't push him away, so she let him go. "Don't you see how suffocating the atmosphere has been during this period? You still have the mind to talk about love!"

Chen Huaiyang put his nose close to it and took a deep sniff. The freshly washed hair had a faint fragrance, which made him feel at ease. "What does it have to do with us? We are not familiar with her."

Yang Xiaolin sighed, "Lin Zhen doesn't have much food left, that's why she's so impatient."

Every time she went to apply for an advance on food, she would be harassed and her money would be deducted. If Chen Huaiyang had not helped her, her situation would not have been much better.

Even the man with glasses started to ask Chen Huaiyang for an advance on food. The few work points they earned might not be enough to cover the food needs. How they would survive this winter was still a question!

Chen Huaiyang put his head next to hers and said, "Don't mind other people's business. It's her business to make the choice. Don't worry too much."

"I look at you, why haven't you gained any weight?"

He put his hand on her waist, and that small section could be broken with just a pinch.

Yang Xiaolin could sense his movements and her whole body froze. This man was the one who would take advantage of every opportunity. If he really had any idea, she would have no way to hide.

I pushed him and said, "You should leave now."

Chen Huaiyang held her tighter in his arms, "Don't think of getting rid of me, I haven't even gotten to kiss you yet!"

Yang Xiaolin's face instantly turned red again, and she stared at him with a pair of sparkling eyes, "Why are you thinking about this kind of thing?"

Chen Huaiyang raised his hand and pinched her earrings. The small earrings felt just right. "When you are full, you think about sex. That's how the saying comes from."

"Hurry up, if you don't agree to me, I won't leave. I can't control whether you can take a nap or not."

Yang Xiaolin felt something poking her and her eyes widened.

"You...are shameless."

His voice got smaller and smaller, and his face turned red as if blood was about to drip out.

Chen Huaiyang let go of her slightly, "You can't blame me for this. I became like this when I saw you."

"Hurry up, give me a kiss and I'll leave. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen next."

There is no one else but him who could make such a blatant threat.

Yang Xiaolin had no choice but to retreat, but a pair of strong hands were placed on her neck, leaving her no chance to escape.

Yang Xiaolin didn't dare to open her mouth to speak, her long eyelashes just kept blinking. Finally, her eyes were covered, and her vision was blocked. Her senses were infinitely magnified, and her toes were stretched straight with shame.

Chen Huaiyang remained rational and let go when the man couldn't breathe anymore.

"How come you haven't learned how to breathe after practicing for so long?"

Yang Xiaolin glared at him, "Just leave now." He's taking advantage of you and still acting like a good kid!
Chen Huaiyang didn't dare to stay, so he left after he recovered.

"It's getting cold, where's your thick cotton coat? You can't just have this one, right? You won't be able to survive the winter."

Yang Xiaolin looked frustrated, "My mom said she would send it to me, but there has been no response!"

Chen Huaiyang asked: "Which address did you give at that time?"

Yang Xiaolin slapped her forehead immediately, as if waking up from a dream, "I gave it to the town, and I wasn't sure which brigade I was going to."

Chen Huaiyang reminded him, "Take a leave tomorrow and go to the post office with you to check. Maybe it's left there. You're so careless that you even forgot where you wrote it."

After all, the work is done, and after paying the public taxes, I can finally retire for the winter.

Yang Xiaolin glared at him: "What are you talking about?"

Chen Huaiyang said, "I'll get up early tomorrow and borrow a bicycle from the captain."

Yang Xiaolin hesitated, "The captain can always lend it to you?" Chen Huaiyang waved his hand, "Don't worry about it, just don't waste time."

Every time he borrows a car, he brings benefits, and the captain's wife is very happy!
Chen Huaiyang returned to his room and lay on the kang, closing his eyes, veins popping out on his forehead. Finally, he opened his red eyes, sighed, and put his hand down...

It's really a case of bringing trouble upon oneself. One doesn't know whether to punish the other person or himself.

There was nothing to do in the afternoon, so the educated youth continued to chop wood. During the long March, once the ground was covered with heavy snow, it would be so cold that people would shiver all over.

The more firewood you have, the more at ease you feel.

They don't want to freeze to death in a foreign land.

Chen Huaiyang was called away by the captain before he even left the house. He was confused at that time. What did the captain want to see him for?
If you can't figure it out, don't make it difficult for yourself. You will understand it after all.

Following him to the brigade, the brigade leader motioned him to sit down, and then slowly said, "In this poor and remote place, there are very few educated people. You relatives are going to the countryside to do construction, and it's time to give full play to your potential."

"We need to draw a blackboard and do some publicity. Other teams have made arrangements, and our three teams cannot fall behind. We must catch up. I want to give you this spot. What do you think?"

"It's cold here for a long time, and bulletin board planning has work points, so this matter has not been disclosed, otherwise there will be many people competing for it."

It's not just the comrades at the educated youth sites. Many educated youth in the brigade are married and have the ability to plan. Who wouldn't want to grab this coveted opportunity?

The captain would not let go of such a good opportunity. A smart person knows that he should hold it tightly in his hands.

Chen Huaiyang's heart was in turmoil, but his face was calm. Pangdun had talked to him about this matter earlier, but he didn't expect that the captain would also come to him.

Chen Huaiyang had never felt so popular. Everyone had their eyes on him, and he became the candidate to be fought over.

It's still the same old saying, there's no such thing as pie falling from the sky, and there's no such thing as goodwill without reason. There must be some purpose behind giving him the spot under such pressure.

You can’t take this hot potato!

"Captain, please forgive me. I've been tired for three months and I want to take the opportunity of hibernation to relax!"

"It's freezing cold here. If you go out to draw the blackboard in the snow, you will freeze to death. It takes a lot of self-control. I'm afraid I will fall asleep and won't be able to get up."

"There will be a lot of work to do next spring. Let me take a break and relax!"

The captain's face turned dark after hearing this. He had never seen anyone more ignorant than him. He actually pushed away such a good job.

How can such a lazy man support a family?

Anyone who marries him will starve to death!

It's okay for a day or two, but which family can afford to support it for years and months?

"You are so lazy, why don't you work hard?"

"It doesn't take much effort, but it's something that requires a lot of talking, and yet you can be so lazy."

I'm really pissed off at him. If this was my own child, I would definitely beat him up.

Chen Huaiyang just leaned lazily, as if he didn't notice his anger, "My mother said that she would try her best to save some food for me, and told me not to work too hard and hurt my health."

The captain had nothing to say, and didn't even want to roll his eyes. He waved at him and said, "Go away, go away. I'm annoyed when I see you."

He felt that his wife's idea had failed, and since the other party didn't take over, he couldn't ask for anything. Fortunately, his daughter was not going to marry such a person, otherwise, he would definitely be angry to death.

Chen Huaiyang slipped away quickly and decisively.

"Captain, I'm leaving now. We don't have enough firewood!"

As for borrowing a bicycle, I'm afraid it's a difficult problem. Seeing that he is angry, the captain probably won't be willing to lend it to him.

Sighing, I dare not think about it anymore, I’ll just go there on foot when the time comes!

After walking for a short while, he saw the captain's wife. She seemed to be waiting for him and smiled happily when she saw him.

"Little educated youth Chen, where have you been? How did the discussion that your uncle asked you to have with him go?"

Chen Huaiyang went up and started complaining, "Auntie, you don't know how tired I am. If it weren't for the lack of firewood, I would just lie down at home and not move."

"I am the first person he thought of when it came to what my uncle said. I am very grateful to him, but I cannot agree to it!"

"It's freezing cold. I'm really afraid that I'll let you down. People from the south may not be able to withstand the weather here!"

"If I'm shivering with cold, it won't be worth it to go out and draw the blackboard newspaper and catch a cold."

"Aunt, please bring a pack of cigarettes to my uncle and comfort him. I see he's very resentful, but I dare not say a word."

The captain's wife looked at the cigarette that was forced upon her and said helplessly, "He doesn't really want to be angry with you." He probably just feels very disappointed with you!
"Take these cigarettes back with you. How can you keep spending so much money?"

Chen Huaiyang pushed and said, "My father sent it to me because he wanted me to have a good relationship with the leaders of the team. I don't smoke, and this cigarette is also a gift to others."

"Take it back to my uncle. It'll be worth it as long as he's not mad at me."

"I still have a long time to stay here, and I will have to rely on him in the future. Don't be so angry that you don't want to talk to me in the future."

The captain's wife did not refuse. She didn't want to give others a bargain. Her husband was obsessed with this cigarette and usually kept it in his pocket and was reluctant to take it out.

Chen Huaiyang thanked him, "I know that uncle is a kind-hearted person. I have failed him. We should know ourselves. We can't hold on without the ability."

"What if I mess things up and break his trust? I don't dare to add fuel to the fire. You have to help me!"

The captain's wife said, "You don't have to worry. He doesn't really want to be angry with you. It's just that with such a good opportunity, do you really want to give it up?"

Chen Huaiyang nodded confidently, "I'm really afraid that I'll mess it up, so I'd better hand it over to someone capable. Remember to help me appease my uncle, I still have to go up the mountain to chop firewood!"

The captain's wife looked at the people walking away, shook her head and sighed.

When I got home, facing my daughter's eager eyes, I felt a little guilty and didn't dare to look her in the eye.

"Mom, is it done?"

The captain's wife shook her head and said, "No, the other party didn't take over the job. How can I ask for help?"

Wang Dani said, "Didn't you tell him I was getting married and asked him to help buy some cloth?"

"Such a big pie is thrown to someone without saying anything. No one dares to take it."

The captain’s wife: “…” I guess the guy in his family really forgot about this.

Wang Dani was speechless, "I'm afraid you'll target me as your son-in-law, who would dare to accept it?"

“Who among the educated youth from the city doesn’t want to go home?”

"People are not short of money, so there is no need to settle down here and earn a few work points. I thought it was so tempting!"
