Chen Xiaolin found a place to hide at the door of the machinery factory's courtyard where she could see the door of the machinery factory. It would make it easier for her to run away if anything went wrong. She was afraid that Aunt Feng would trick her.

After a while, Aunt Feng appeared in Chen Xiaolin's sight holding a basket and a snakeskin bag.

Seeing Aunt Feng coming alone, Chen Xiaolin walked out of her hiding place.

"Young man, where did you go? I was shocked when I didn't see you when I came out."

"Isn't it because I am too conspicuous standing at the door of the family's courtyard? I just want to find a place to hide."

Aunt Feng took out the money from her pocket and counted twenty-nine dollars to Chen Xiaolin.

"Young man, what's your name? Next time you have some meat, come and find me. I live in the first building. I can hear you calling Aunt Feng at the door." Aunt Feng thinks this boy is quite capable. Today's pork belly is very suitable to her liking. It has more fat and less lean meat. With these meats, she will not be short of oil this year.

"Okay, I'll look for you next time I come over." Chen Xiaolin agreed casually. As for whether I can find her or not, I'll tell you next time!

After leaving the courtyard of the machinery factory, Chen Xiaolin went home. Halfway back, Chen Xiaolin took out a basket of eggs from the space. She was a little tired of eating meat recently.

The next few days will soon be busy. Now that the weather has warmed up, spring planting will begin soon.

When Chen Xiaolin returned home, the first time she went to the pig pen was to see her new pets. The two little black pigs kept humming and running around in the pig pen.

Chen Xiaolin took out the pig food that was cooked in advance last night from the space. "Little pig, little pig, hurry up and eat. You have to eat more and grow more meat."

The next day, Chen Xiaolin started to be busy again. Now her daily task at work is to collect pigweed. If she collects two centimeters of pigweed every day, she has to take an extra basket home.

Now the wild vegetables are growing on the mountain, and Chen Xiaolin wants to pick wild vegetables when she has time.

After being busy like this for more than a month, after the spring planting, the village began to become quiet again.

After spring planting, it is the peak season for villagers to hold weddings. Today, Chen Xiaolin was also invited by Chen Xiaomei to attend her wedding.

Chen Xiaolin also didn't expect that Chen Xiaomei would marry her so quickly. Although Li Ran's family was in good condition, how long had the two known each other? Can they understand each other in less than half a year?

At night, two uninvited guests came to Chen Xiaolin's house.

When Chen Xiaolin saw Shen Jiaojiao holding a bottle of wine, she knew why she and Liu Zhaodi were here today.

"Jiaojiao, where did you come from Maotai?"

"My mother sent it to me so that I could have a relationship." Shen Jiaojiao put all the things she brought over on the Kang table. Today she not only brought wine, but also a bag of peanuts and a pound of beef. Dry.

This wine was wasted on us. I still have a jar of wine at home. Let's drink that today!" Chen Xiaolin had never drank liquor before. She was afraid that she would pour half the glass, so she moved out of the utility room in pain. A jar of wine, which she brewed in the space during winter. She only brewed two jars in total, and she couldn't bear to drink it.

"Then I'll give this bottle of wine to you. You guys are drinking with me today. I can't let you waste the money." Shen Jiaojiao generously gave the wine to Chen Xiaolin. There was no use in leaving the wine to her.

Chen Xiaolin saw Shen Jiaojiao's red eyes and knew that she would not be able to escape today's drink.

She simply took a piece of bacon to the kitchen and fried it, and then beat a few eggs to make scrambled eggs with leeks.

Liu Zhaodi has been following Chen Xiaolin, looking worried.

Chen Xiaolin couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked her: "Zhao Di, is there something you want to tell me?"

"Do you remember He Yingying?" Liu Zhaodi thought of the letter she received yesterday, and she couldn't calm down for a long time.

"Remember, I saw her before I went to the countryside. What happened to her?" Chen Xiaolin knew something must have happened to He Yingying when she saw Liu Zhaodi's expression, and it was not good.

"She got married, but not long after she went to the countryside, she was ruined by a second-rate man." Liu Zhaodi is now really glad that the place where she went to the countryside is in Daqingshan Village. Although it is not very wealthy, the village cadres here are fair and just. The second-rate people here don't dare to attack the educated youth at will.

Didn't she make trouble at home? Wasn't she quite favored at home?" Chen Xiaolin remembered He Yingying as a little princess with a hot temper.

"Alas! It's not because her parents felt embarrassed that they cut off the relationship with her." Liu Zhaodi and He Yingying were not only classmates, but their homes were not far apart.

"I don't think it's that simple. Her parents love her so much and it doesn't look like a lie. It seems like something must have happened." Chen Xiaolin felt that something must have happened to He Yingying's parents. She remembered that He Yingying's father seemed to be Here comes the university professor.

"Ah, can't you?" Liu Zhaodi suddenly seemed to think of something and stopped talking, and the kitchen became quiet for a moment.

By the time Chen Xiaolin and Liu Zhaodi brought out the appetizers, Shen Jiaojiao had already drank several glasses of wine.

"Xiao Lin, your wine is so... delicious. I have never tasted such... delicious wine." Shen Jiaojiao's face was extremely red now, and she was starting to get tangled in her words.

"Why did you start drinking alone? Have a glass of water to relieve the hangover." Chen Xiaolin poured a glass of honey wine for Shen Jiaojiao. She got the honey back in the mountains.

"It's okay. I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"Alas! There is no grass anywhere in the world, just be more open-minded." Chen Xiaolin didn't know how to persuade Shen Jiaojiao, after all, she had liked him for so long.

"It's okay. After tonight, I will live my own life well. From now on, Li Ran will no longer be the person Shen Jiaojiao loves the most." Shen Jiaojiao burst into tears. She only liked that one person when she grew up. She didn't expect that In the end he actually chose someone else.

"Then cheers for our future, for us to meet someone who really likes us and treats us sincerely." Chen Xiaolin took out a tissue from her pocket and helped wipe away the tears on Shen Jiaojiao's face.

"cheers."

"cheers."

"Jiaojiao, drink less wine and eat more vegetables." Liu Zhaodi saw that Shen Jiaojiao was drinking instead of vegetables, so she helped her pick up several pieces of bacon.

"Xiao Lin, your bacon is so delicious. You still have a lot more. Can you give it to me in exchange for a few kilograms?" Shen Jiaojiao had never eaten smoked bacon before, and it was quite delicious after eating it for the first time.

"How much do you want to exchange? I should have dozens of kilograms left." Most of the pigs Chen Xiaolin killed at the end of the year were smoked into bacon, so she couldn't finish them all in a while
