Time soon came to 1972, and Chen Xiaolin turned eighteen this year.

During this period, many people came to introduce objects to Chen Xiaolin, but Chen Xiaolin didn't like any of them.

Chen Xiaolin did not plan to marry herself off. She planned to find a son-in-law for herself according to the ideas of Chen Dazhu and his wife during their lifetime.

How nice it is to be the master of your own home! Why go to someone else's house and get offended?

Now that the New Year has just ended, it is still freezing and snowing outside. Chen Xiaolin has been staying at home every day during this period, and she feels a little bored after staying for a long time. Today she planned to go for a walk in the mountains and catch a silly roe deer to eat.

Originally, Chen Xiaolin didn't like eating game meat very much, but since she ate silly roe deer meat at Uncle Chen's house some time ago, she has been thinking about the silly roe deer on the mountain.

Chen Xiaolin planned to go in a different direction this time. Along the mountain behind the cowshed, she could go directly to Yujiacun, because the mountain on this side was not very deep and there were no large animals on the mountain.

The snow on the mountain has not melted yet, so it is a little difficult for Chen Xiaolin to walk. I can only walk slowly up the mountain step by step.

After walking for almost an hour, Chen Xiaolin discovered a row of two-petal footprints like sheep's hooves.

God help me, these are just the footprints of a silly roe deer!

Chen Xiaolin hurriedly followed the footprints and climbed over a mountain. Chen Xiaolin came to a small valley.

Chen Xiaolin was really happy looking at the messy footprints in the valley.

She took a cup of spiritual spring water from the space and sprinkled it on the snow, then quickly found a tree and climbed up.

She doesn't know if this spiritual spring water can help her attract the silly roe deer.

After a while, Chen Xiaolin saw a few pheasants walking over leisurely. They didn't feel any danger at all.

When they reached the bottom of the tree, Chen Xiaolin pulled up the slingshot.

Looking at the three big pheasants under the tree, Chen Xiaolin smiled happily. She could eat chicken stewed with mushrooms again tonight.

Chen Xiaolin picked up the pheasant and put it in the space, then returned to the tree to continue the ambush. Her target today was the silly roe deer.

Just when Chen Xiaolin was about to freeze in the tree, two silly roe deer appeared on the snow where the water from the spiritual spring had just been sprinkled.

With two bang bang sounds, the two silly roe deers were killed by Chen Xiaolin in one blow.

Chen Xiaolin quickly jumped down from the tree, picked up the silly roe deer and ran away. The weather was really too cold. She was shivering even though she was wearing a down vest under her military coat.

As she walked, Chen Xiaolin gradually realized that something was wrong, as if she was walking in the opposite direction.

After walking for a while, Chen Xiaolin also saw the footprints of others who had just walked.

Chen Xiaolin was also a little curious as to who was so brave to come up the mountain even though it was snowed.

"Comrade, are you lost?" Yu Youyin didn't expect to meet others on the mountain in such a cold day.

Yes! Where is this place?" Chen Xiaolin heard the voice and looked back, and saw a young man dragging a wild boar down from the top of the mountain.

"Further ahead from here is Yujia Village. I think you are very unfamiliar. You are not from Yujia Village." Yu Youyin got closer and saw Chen Xiaolin's face clearly. Just one glance made his heart beat faster. No.

"I'm from Daqingshan Village. I wanted to go up the mountain to hunt a pheasant, but I got lost." Chen Xiaolin finally realized that she might be a road addict, and she would get lost every time she went up the mountain.

"Daqingshan Village is not far from us. You might as well go down the mountain and take the main road back. It's already afternoon. If you go back the same way, I'm afraid you will be in danger." Yu Youyin could actually send her back, but men and women are not allowed to be intimate. He couldn't ruin the girl's reputation.

"Thank you, I'll just go down the mountain and go back to the main road." In fact, Chen Xiaolin felt a little uneasy. This was the first time she saw such a handsome boy, and he was more to her liking than the idol she chased in her previous life.

"I'll take you down the mountain! After all, it's not very safe on the mountain now." Although Yu Youyin wanted to ask her name, he didn't know how to ask. Seeing the military coat on Chen Xiaolin's body, he could guess that Chen Xiaolin's family should be well off, but his own family was not rich and he had many brothers, so how could he match up with others.

Chen Xiaolin walked in front, and Yu Youyin walked slowly behind her. No one spoke along the way, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, Yu Youyin stopped following Chen Xiaolin.

After Chen Xiaolin walked away, he found a secret place, dug a snow pit and hid the wild boar.

Chen Xiaolin didn't know what Yu Youyin was thinking. She was anxious to go home now.

Chen Xiaolin was not very familiar with Jiacun. It was cold and no one was outside, so Chen Xiaolin couldn't find anyone to ask for directions.

She could only walk slowly, hoping that Yu Youyin behind would catch up quickly.

Yu Youyin originally thought that Chen Xiaolin had left long ago, but when he was about to get home, he saw Chen Xiaolin looking around in front of him.

"Comrade, what a coincidence! Don't you know the way back?"

"It's you! I haven't been to Dajia Village, so I don't know where to go from Daqingshan Village." Chen Xiaolin was a little embarrassed, and she didn't expect that she couldn't even find the way back.

"Let's go! I took you out to the main road, but I was negligent. I didn't expect you didn't know the road." In fact, Yu Youyin was a little bit happy. Fortunately, he still had the opportunity to ask her name.

"Comrade, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I might not be able to get up and down the mountain today." Chen Xiaolin walked for more than three hours today to reach the place where she just met Yu Youyin. If she had returned the same way, it would have been really difficult. Maybe we were still going up the mountain after dark.

"Comrade, can I...can I ask...your name?" Yu Youyin began to stutter nervously as he spoke. He secretly glanced at Chen Xiaolin shyly.

"Hello, my name is Chen Xiaolin." Chen Xiaolin greeted Yu Youyin generously. Looking at his blushing face, Chen Xiaolin did not expect that the man in front of her would be so easily shy.

"My name is...Yu Youyin." Yu Youyin hated his timidity so much that he couldn't even say hello to the girl he liked. This made his brothers see it and they were not shocked.

...

Yu Youyin had been brewing in his heart for a long time and just found a topic that he wanted to continue talking to Chen Xiaolin. Unfortunately, they had already reached the main road, and Yu Youyin could no longer find an excuse to continue sending her back.

After Chen Xiaolin said goodbye to Yu Youyin, she walked for almost an hour before returning home.

Yu Youyin went down the mountain with her today, so she couldn't find an excuse to take out the two silly roe deer openly. It seemed that she could only go up the mountain another day.

As soon as Chen Xiaolin finished cooking, there was a knock on the door of her home.

Chen Xiaolin could only put on her clothes and go out to open the door. She didn't know who it was, but she came to visit in such a cold weather.
