Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

Second Aunt shook her head: "I'm not sure about this, but he is a small leader anyway."

Liu Xiao'e was tempted by such conditions: "These two are good. The young man working in the back should be even better. Second sister, when can you arrange for them to meet?"

Seeing that Liu Xiao'e was satisfied, Second Aunt slapped her thigh happily and said, "Why do you need to arrange time specially? My grandson will be one month old in a few days. You can bring Lin Shu to my house and I will arrange for them to meet."

"Okay, okay, this is a good idea." Liu Xiao'e nodded excitedly, as if the young man had become her son-in-law.

Afterwards, the two sisters stayed in the kitchen, cooking and whispering, laughing from time to time.

After Lin Shu took a shower and changed into clean clothes, he heard laughter coming from the kitchen from time to time. He didn't know what the two middle-aged women were talking about so happily.

Second Aunt stayed at the Lin family's house for one night and hurried back home after breakfast the next day. They were all women who were the head of the family, with a whole family waiting to be taken care of, so how could she feel at ease living outside?

Without waiting for the rest of the family to go to work, Lin Shu took his tools and went out, walking along the path behind the village into the mountains.

The sky is clear blue and the surroundings are shaded by green trees. This is not the later times when viruses are rampant and people don’t need to wear masks when going out. Breathing the fresh air, Lin Shu feels relaxed.

But the good mood didn't last long, and it all disappeared when I saw the two people in front of me.

"Lin Shu!"

Lin Shu turned around and saw two people coming out of the bushes. Zhu Zhengliang's eyes flashed with surprise, while Wei Miao, who was following behind him, had a blank expression on his face.

She cursed inwardly that it was bad luck and was about to continue walking deeper into the woods when Zhu Zhengliang quickly stepped in front of her and stopped her from leaving.

Lin Shu glanced at the sickle in his hand, took a few steps back with a cold face, and distanced himself from him.

"Lin Shu, why did you come up the mountain today? Are you here to chop firewood?" The eagerness in Zhu Zhengliang's eyes could not be ignored. "It just so happens that Wei Miao and I are also here to chop firewood. How about we go together? If you get tired later, I'll help you chop firewood."

Lin Shu just wanted to laugh in his heart, he didn’t know who would help whom later.

Lin Shu looked at Wei Miao who was lagging behind with a gloomy face, and then looked at the young man dressed like an old farmer who was blocking the way in front of him, and felt dazed.

I seemed to see Zhu Zhengliang who had just arrived last year. He felt curious about everything in the countryside and was full of confidence. It seemed that there was a lot of room for development in the rural areas.

His energetic appearance at that time left such a deep impression on her that she had been obsessed with his gentleness in her previous life. It was not until she returned to the city that she saw his true face.

Zhu Zhengliang took two steps forward, "Lin Shu..."

Lin Shu took two steps back and frowned to refuse: "No, I don't like to team up with beasts."

Zhu Zhengliang's face froze after hearing this, but he smiled again after a moment, and said helplessly: "Lin Shu, you are still angry with me. Can't I apologize to you? I have an egg here, and I can't bear to eat it. Can't I just regard it as my apology to you?"

As he said this, he took out a boiled egg from his trouser pocket and handed it over.

Lin Shu noticed Wei Miao, who looked hurt and hesitant, and sneered, "Is this egg yours? Did you trick it from some other innocent girl and then use it to please me?"

Lin Shu was very disgusted by the fact that they had forgotten all the unpleasant things that happened before, as if they had never happened.

The smile on Zhu Zhengliang's face froze for a moment. He turned around and looked at Wei Miao, explaining, "Wei Miao gave me this egg. You know we eat from a big pot at the educated youth camp. I have never been willing to eat it, so I am leaving it for you as an apology."

It was vaguely mentioned, meaning that the educated youth had a big pot meal and everyone had an egg, but his egg was given to him by Wei Miao.

"Really?" Lin Shu looked at Wei Miao and said sarcastically, "The girl who gave you the egg is so pitiful. Her sincerity was fed to the dog... Oh, no, even if she was fed to the dog, the dog would still wag its tail at her, but you are not even as good as a dog."

"Lin Shu, you... I gave you the eggs out of kindness, why are you swearing at me!" Zhu Zhengliang's face turned red with anger. He didn't seem to expect that Lin Shu's words would be so vicious and merciless.

Seeing that he was still blocking his way, Lin Shu ran out of patience and shouted angrily, "Get out of the way. I won't associate with beasts!"

Don't force her to take action. If you get in her way again, she won't mind giving you a beating.

Zhu Zhengliang wanted to argue, but Wei Miao took two steps forward and tugged at his shirt hem: "Brother Zhu, you'd better get out of the way and don't block Lin Shu's way. Her family is still waiting for her to work. She doesn't have family members like us who subsidize her from time to time. She's a girl from the countryside. How can she eat if she's not hardworking? Besides, no family in the countryside would want a girl who's not hardworking."

After hearing this, Lin Shu sneered and took back what she had just said. She looked meaningfully at the educated youth who dared to imply her. She really should not be underestimated. This insinuation made her feel unhappy.

However, there is still a long way to go, and I don’t know if this person will be deceived again in this life.

I was going to remind you, but now it seems I shouldn't.

Pulling Zhu Zhengliang away, Wei Miao lowered her head and said, "Miss Lin Shu, I won't keep you any longer. Go and get busy."

"Thank you!" Lin Shu met her raised eyes mockingly and strode into the depths of the woods.

All the firewood that could be cut on the mountainside had already been cut down. If one wanted to cut more and faster, one had to go deeper into the forest.

The most important thing is that there are more medicinal herbs in the deep forest.

Zhu Zhengliang watched Lin Shu walk away, pulled back his clothes, turned his head to look at Wei Miao, and smiled awkwardly: "Fortunately you are sensible, unlike Lin Shu, who is rude and uneducated. Last time I caused her to fall, I wanted to give her an egg as an apology, but I didn't expect her to be so ungrateful!"

Wei Miao said coldly: "She is from this village. She has the support of her family and fellow villagers. Naturally, she won't take us, the educated youth from outside, seriously."

As she spoke, she grabbed Zhu Zhengliang's arm and said, "So, Brother Zhu, we educated youth are all in the same group. If you encounter problems in the village, the ones who can help you are the educated youth who were sent here with us. The villagers will not interfere."

Zhu Zhengliang nodded awkwardly and said with gratitude: "Thank you Miaomiao, you still understand me."

Wei Miao smiled shyly: "Brother Zhu, our lives as educated youth in the countryside are already hard enough. If I still don't understand you, it will be even harder."

Zhu Zhengliang was so moved that he took the opportunity to hug Wei Miao: "Miao Miao, my dear girl, you are such a lovely person."

Wei Miao was suddenly hugged by the man she liked. She felt nervous and scared, but at the same time, there was a hint of anticipation in her heart. It was a wonderful feeling.

And Zhu Zhengliang, a hot-blooded man, was even more aggressive.

"No, no, Brother Zhu, someone will be here soon."

These words reminded Zhu Zhengliang, and he hugged Wei Miao and wanted to walk to a remote place.

Wei Miao was half-pushed and half-dragged to a remote place surrounded by lush vegetation, so there was no need to worry about being discovered, so Zhu Zhengliang went straight to work.
