In the end, Lu Chen did not go forward to wake Meng Yinyin up, because he knew that she was probably frightened today and needed a good rest.
After he put the food on the table, he found a piece of paper and left a letter for her and put it on the table. Then he went out to the town with a cold face.
After arriving in the town this time, no matter how Lu Dashan and the others explained or pleaded, he would never let them go!
... ...
Meng Yinyin slept until she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was almost dark outside. For a moment, she could not tell whether it was morning or evening.
Fortunately, after she sat up and rubbed her eyes, her memory gradually came back and she regained consciousness.
It should be afternoon now, but where is Yu Xiaoyu? Doesn’t she sleep with her
Meng Yinyin opened the door and walked out, just in time to see Yu Xiaoyu sitting in the yard flipping through some books out of boredom.
Out of the corner of her eye she noticed Meng Yinyin had woken up, and she immediately put down the book.
"You finally woke up!"
Yu Xiaoyu had an exaggerated expression of relief.
"If you don't wake up, I suspect you will sleep until tomorrow morning!"
Meng Yinyin felt embarrassed by what she said, and could only explain: "I was just too tired this morning."
Yu Xiaoyu was just teasing her and didn't really mean to say that she was lazy. Besides, it didn't matter even if Meng Yinyin was a little lazy. After all, it was enough to have a diligent person in the family.
Thinking of this, Yu Xiaoyu immediately cast a meaningful look at Meng Yinyin and said with a smile: "Your Lu Chen is really too virtuous. Not only does he work outside, but he also prepares meals for you when he comes home and puts them on the table!"
"Ah? He's back?"
Hearing this, Meng Yinyin subconsciously looked towards Lu Chen's room.
"No, he came back earlier, but then he went out again. He seemed to have something to do."
Yu Xiaoyu showed Meng Yinyin the note Lu Chen left for her. Meng Yinyin took a look at it and then said "oh".
But I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
Why is he so busy? She was thinking of waiting for him to come back and telling him what happened today.
Although things were almost over, Meng Yinyin just wanted to tell him about these things, and then let Lu Chen care about her, or scold Lu Dashan and the others with her!
Anyway, as long as he knew about this matter, Lu Chen would definitely help her vent her anger!
By then, Lu Dashan and the others, hehe, will definitely be punished!
Without even realizing it, she had already become dependent on Lu Chen.
It's just that she wanted to share these things with Lu Chen as soon as possible, but she didn't expect him to be so busy today.
Forget it, I can only wait until he comes back in the evening to talk about this.
Meng Yinyin quickly went to eat the food on the table. While eating, she thought about it and decided to talk to Yu Xiaoyu about reading and studying.
"Xiaoyu, did you feel anything when you read those books just now?"
Yu Xiaoyu was stunned.
"What does it feel like?"
"Do you think you still remember that knowledge? Do you want to learn it again?"
Yu Xiaoyu: “?”
Huh? Relearn it.
"I don't mind, but I don't have time to study now. Although the team will not be so busy after the autumn harvest in two days, I still have to go to work every day, so I probably won't have much time to read."
Yu Xiaoyu's tone was quite helpless.
She actually likes studying very much, but the current system of going to university is basically impossible for them, and the high school knowledge is no longer of much use.
"Then... what if there is an opportunity in the future? And don't you think this knowledge can be useful in our lives? So I think it would be good for us to learn more. Why don't you read with me? Come to my place every afternoon after work and we can read and study together!"
Afraid that the more she spoke, the more she would reveal herself, Meng Yinyin simply said one more sentence.
"It's boring to read alone, so why don't you read with me? We can chat and sleep together at night!"
She held Yu Xiaoyu's arm and acted coquettishly.
Yu Xiaoyu couldn't bear it at all and could only succumb to her coquetry in a daze. She agreed to come to her house and read with Meng Yinyin after work starting tomorrow.
And to be honest, the atmosphere at the educated youth training center is not very good. If she were not trapped by reality, she really wouldn't want to stay there.
But if she comes to Meng Yinyin's house for dinner, she can't eat for free, she will pay for the food.
Anyway, if I don’t eat dinner at the educated youth center, I can save food for that meal. It’s better to give it to Lu Chen and the others so that I can eat more happily.
After getting Yu Xiaoyu's confirmation, Meng Yinyin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
There are estimated to be more than two months before the college entrance examination, which should be enough time for both her and Yu Xiaoyu to review.
No, they can definitely review well and they can all get into good universities!
Meng Yinyin strengthened her faith.
After she finished her meal, it was getting late, so Yu Xiaoyu chatted with her for a while. After making sure that she was no longer afraid being alone at home, she returned to the educated youth site.
After Yu Xiaoyu left, Meng Yinyin locked the gate, then took a small stool and sat in the yard waiting for Lu Chen to come home.
She didn't know how long it had been, until it was completely dark, and then she heard a noise outside the yard, and then a gentle knock on the door, as if someone was afraid of waking up the people in the house.
Meng Yinyin was stunned for a moment, then immediately asked: "Is it Lu Chen?"
A "hmm" was quickly heard from outside the house.
Meng Yinyin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Lu Chen's familiar voice, then quickly ran to open the door.
"Why are you back so late?"
The moment she saw Lu Chen, Meng Yinyin couldn't help but reveal a sad look.
Lu Chen looked down at Meng Yinyin, and only after he was sure that she was not injured did the heavy weight in his heart fall away.
Even though he had heard the captain say with certainty at the Public Security Bureau that Meng Yinyin had no other injuries except for being a little frightened, Lu Chen was still worried.
It's just that because Lu Dashan's matter is more urgent, he can only deal with everything at the Public Security Bureau before coming back.
He said, “I went to town.”
Meng Yinyin was stunned, but she quickly realized something.
"Is it because of Lu Dashan's matter?"
Lu Chen nodded, and seeing this, Meng Yinyin continued to ask.
"What happened? Were they arrested?"
"He was arrested."
After saying this, Lu Chen hesitated for two seconds, and finally added: "They are temporarily detained in the Public Security Bureau, but they will be released in a few days."
Although Lu Dashan and his partner did something similar to "kidnapping", Meng Yinyin didn't get into any serious trouble and returned safely. Moreover, they didn't kidnap Meng Yinyin to other places, but only took her to the back mountain. Therefore, the Public Security Bureau could only detain them for a period of time as a punishment, combined with some verbal education, and then released them after the time was up.
There is nothing we can do about this.
Meng Yinyin was not too disappointed when she heard that. She said "oh" to show her understanding.
She even thought about it and felt that the result was pretty good.
After all, after entering the Public Security Bureau, Lu Dashan and Jiang Guihua's reputations were completely ruined.
In the countryside, reputation basically means everything.
From now on, the two of them probably won't be able to hold their heads up in this team. They will be despised and looked down upon by others. Anyway, they will never be able to make waves again.
After Lu Chen finished speaking, he saw that Meng Yinyin seemed to no longer take the matter to heart, but he still felt heavy in his heart.
He felt that it was his fault for not protecting Meng Yinyin well. If he had intimidated Lu Dashan and the others more before, they might not have dared to do such a thing.
So from this day on, Lu Chen had another goal in mind, which was to work harder.
Only by making yourself strong can you avoid harming yourself and the people you care about, and protect them!
After this incident, Meng Yinyin's life seemed to have returned to what it was before, but there were some changes.
For example, she now has to read and study with Yu Xiaoyu every day, and Lu Chen is obviously busier than before. What even puzzles her is that the autumn harvest has passed and there are fewer things to do, so why is he busier than before
Meng Yinyin couldn't understand, but because of her trust in Lu Chen, she didn't ask any questions.
However, she felt distressed when she saw Lu Chen coming home exhausted every day. She tried to ask him not to work so hard, but Lu Chen just said that he was not tired.
When he said this, there was a light in his eyes that Meng Yinyin couldn't understand.
In addition to these subtle changes, there were some strange things for Meng Yinyin. She heard from Yu Xiaoyu that Lin Xiuzhi seemed to be sick again.
Moreover, after what happened that day, Lin Xiuzhi fell ill the next day and stayed at home for several days.
You suddenly fell ill and you don’t even want to leave the house
Could it be that he was frightened by what he said that day
Meng Yinyin was confused for only a few seconds and then put the matter out of her mind.
But what she didn't expect was that a few days later, the so-called "bedridden" Lin Xiuzhi would actually come to see her.
Meng Yinyin was still reading at home. When she heard Lin Xiuzhi knocking on the door, her first reaction was to ignore it and pretend she didn't hear it. But soon, Lin Xiuzhi realized what Meng Yinyin was thinking and could only change her words and continue to shout, "Open the door for me. We are from the same hometown, Meng Yinyin. We are from the same place!"
Fellow countryman
Could it be that she is from Jiangcheng like me
But isn’t it said that Lin Xiuzhi is a local through and through? Her parents’ home is in the next commune.
What is going on
Because she was curious about this so-called "fellow villager", Meng Yinyin finally came behind the door hesitantly. She was still very smart and did not open the door. She just communicated directly with Lin Xiuzhi outside behind the door.
"You and I are from the same hometown? Where are you from?"
In order to avoid falling into Lin Xiuzhi's trap, Meng Yinyin took the initiative to ask her where she was from.
Because some changes were made to Meng Yinyin's information when she went to the countryside, even the team leader didn't know her true origins. Naturally, members like Lin Xiuzhi were even less clear.
So it would be interesting if Lin Xiuzhi did reveal the address of her hometown.
Lin Xiuzhi, who was outside the door, didn't think much about Meng Yinyin's question when she heard it. She just thought that Meng Yinyin was asking her about the modern city, and there was basically not much overlap between the names of modern cities and the names of cities in this era. After all, this was an imaginary world of novels, so when she asked this, she must be confirming the secret code and information with her.
After she figured it out, she didn't even hesitate, and blurted out: "I'm from City A!"
After all, if she didn't tell the truth, Meng Yinyin would never help her.
And in this world, the only person who could barely be her teammate was Meng Yinyin.
The current situation is very urgent, she must have someone to help her, and this person can only be Meng Yinyin, who comes from the future world like her.
City A
Where is City A
This unfamiliar name made Meng Yinyin confused.
Seeing that Meng Yinyin in the yard had no reaction, Lin Xiuzhi became more and more anxious.
"I'm from City A. I'm not lying to you. We're really from the same hometown. If you don't believe me, I also know that you love me. I love you, Sweet Mixue Ice City!"
As she spoke, Lin Xiuzhi started singing.
Meng Yinyin's eyes widened in the yard: "???"
