His predecessor failed

The autumn harvest began. The female comrades and the weak male comrades were arranged to harvest the rice, and the strong male comrades were responsible for threshing the rice. The rice had to be carried to the threshing yard to be separated and dried. The children went to the fields happily to pick up rice ears.

The high-intensity labor in the first two days almost exhausted Su Zhuzhu and Liu Yuanyuan. They had no energy to go back to cook, and could only have lunch in the cafeteria. After returning home, Su Zhuzhu took out some dried meat for Liu Yuanyuan to replenish her strength.

In the evening, the two of them went back and made some simple noodles or something, which was not too much trouble. They left a bowl of the pork ribs soup and braised pork that they had stewed on the day of the dinner party to be eaten early. Su Zhuzhu was afraid that the braised pork and pork ribs would go bad, so she hung them in a water tank in a basket. She also secretly put two large pieces of ice in the water tank at night. When she came back to cook noodles in the evening, the ice had already melted, so she was not worried about being discovered.

Su Zhuzhu goes out early and comes back late every day. She always feels that she has forgotten something, but she can't remember it for a while and just puts it out of her mind.

He Qiaojin has been a little angry recently, feeling that he had misjudged Su Zhuzhu and that she was a woman who did not keep her word.

After successfully passing the special forces selection, He Qiaojin called home and made it clear that he and Su Zhuzhu had incompatible personalities. The two also agreed not to delay each other and both agreed to cancel the engagement.

The call upset the He family, and Mr. He was so angry that he almost had a heart attack. He's father and mother were even more furious, and they ran directly to the army to scold He Qiaojin.

He Qiaojin repeatedly explained that it was the will of both parties, but the He family didn't believe it, because they hadn't received any letters or phone calls from Su Zhuzhu saying that she wanted to cancel the engagement. Maybe this guy was the one who did it himself.

He Qiaojin had no choice but to coax his parents back home to wait for news. Su Zhuzhu was in Su City, so the letters might arrive slowly.

The He family was very angry but had no choice but to go back first. They couldn't beat their son in the army. After returning home, they called the Sujia Subdistrict Office several times, but they said Su Zhuzhu was not at home.

After waiting for a long time, it has been almost a month since Su Zhuzhu returned to Su City, but there is still no news.

He's mother was worried and angry at home. He Qiaojin was transferred to the special forces after passing the selection. Now he has gone to training and cannot be contacted. She wanted to scold him but couldn't find him.

Finally, He's father asked his comrades in Su City to go to the Sujia Street Office to check, only to find out that Su Zhuzhu had gone to the countryside in H Province.

This shocked the He family. Didn't Su Zhuzhu just turn 18 these few days? Why did she go to the countryside in advance? Isn't the purpose of engagement to let them get married earlier? Even if they get the marriage certificate first, they don't have to go to the countryside.

Mr. He and his mother regretted it so much. They were fooled by He Qiaojin's pretending. If they had known earlier, they would have pressed the issue and got the marriage certificate first. How could a delicate girl like Zhuzhu go to such a faraway place in the countryside alone? She couldn't bear the hardships in the countryside.

Su Zhuzhu, who was suffering in the countryside, didn't know that someone would soon travel thousands of miles to see her.

He's father's comrades found out that Su Zhuzhu was about to turn eighteen years old, and because the time interval between the next batch of people going to the countryside was quite long, Su Zhuzhu took the initiative to sign up. They asked about Su Zhuzhu's whereabouts and copied down the address for the He family.

The He family now felt that it was their own fault that forced Su Zhuzhu to go to the countryside. They knew that no one was at Su's house and it was unsafe for the girl to be alone at home because of the research institute's affairs, but they still let the girl go back. But He's father's comrades said that a lot of things were smashed on the gate of Su's house, and the son had privately broken off his engagement, which forced the girl to go to the countryside early.

Feeling extremely guilty, He's mother burst into tears and immediately decided to go to the place where Su Zhuzhu had worked in the countryside to check in case something happened to the little girl or she was bullied. As someone who had lived for decades, she knew all too well about those dirty things, and she was afraid that if no one protected the little girl, nothing would be left of her.

Normally, He's mother could not leave Beijing easily. He's father took great pains to get the formalities done, including Lin Wu's as well. He really couldn't bear to let He's mother go to such a far place alone.

Lin Wu also knew about Su Zhuzhu's going to the countryside. After listening to the He family's analysis, he felt that Qiao Jin was too inhuman. He immediately packed his luggage and prepared to go to H Province with He's mother. Lin Wu also went to the department store to buy a lot of things that were hard to buy in the countryside, and exchanged a lot of general tickets with his comrades.

By the time they set off, with the things prepared by He's mother, there were four large bags full.

Fortunately, Lin Wu was a soldier. He was tall and strong, so he carried one on his back, one on his chest, and one in each hand, and he helped He's mother get on the train smoothly.
