After everyone left, Liu Yuanda returned to the house and packed his luggage quickly.

He really had enough of this place and couldn't wait to leave.

Lin Shaoyang and Gu Qingshi were the only ones left in the kitchen. They fried another plate of peanuts, took out a bottle of wine, and went to their room to drink.

Now, these people don’t drink alcohol when they have dinner together, and they drink very rarely on weekdays.

Only after they both drank the wine together did Gu Qingshi slowly speak, "Yangzi, are you really planning to go back like this? Working in a factory is so boring! You'd be better off being a cadre in a commune or the county. They've invited you several times, so why are you still thinking of going to the factory?"

After hearing this, Lin Shaoyang just smiled bitterly, shook his head and replied, "Qingshi, you know I have no interest in politics or the military. In the future, I may develop my research in academic and technical fields. Although the machinery factory doesn't sound as respectable as a cadre position, the technical positions there are still quite suitable for me."

Gu Qingshi still didn't give up after hearing this, and continued to persuade him tentatively: "Why don't you wait a little longer? Maybe one day Aunt Feng will be reinstated and she can assign you a position that's better than working in the factory. Your starting point will be much higher than others! Then you won't have to go to the factory! That place is not only boring, but the work is also very tiring."

Facing his friend's persuasion, Lin Shaoyang still shook his head firmly, expressing his disagreement and said: "Alas! I don't know when I will wait for that day! But in my opinion, if I really take the path of a technical position in the future, then grassroots practical experience is very important. Practice makes perfect!

Working in the factory now is no big deal. Even if it's a bit tiring, I can handle it. When my mom succeeds in turning things around, she can transfer me away from there. It won't affect me at all."

Seeing that Lin Shaoyang was determined to leave, Gu Qingshi could only wish him well and said, "Okay, then I wish you good luck. I never thought that we would be separated again so soon. I had thought that this time we would be together for a long time, and we could go back to the city together, enrich ourselves in school, or join the army together, and be good brothers for life like my dad and Uncle Lin, but who knew that you would choose to work in a factory?"

Liu Yuanda, who was packing up in the room, almost laughed out loud when he heard this. He complained in his heart, "Good brother? I wonder where you got the courage to say such a thing? Your good brother's life was almost sent to the West by you! Only Lin Shaoyang didn't bother with you, and you are still here talking about brotherhood and wanting him to work for you!"

It’s no wonder that Liu Yuanda complained. Gu Qingshi had gone a bit too far. He secretly hung around Gu Qingqing every day, and they didn’t do much of the work together!

Here comes another cousin who can't do anything and needs everyone to take care of her. She keeps telling everyone what to do every day and nothing goes right.

Now that Lin Shaoyang and Liu Yuanda are gone, Jiang Yu is the only one left to partner with them. I don’t know how long Jiang Yu can keep them company.

Lin Shaoyang raised his glass with a relaxed expression, gently clinked it with Gu Qingshi's, and said with a smile: "A short separation is for a better meeting, and you have to take good care of yourself. I hope that you can see the moon soon and get what you want soon. Try to return to the city as soon as possible. I will wait for you to come back to the imperial capital and meet you again."

Gu Qingshi responded absentmindedly: "Okay."

Later, Gu Qingshi drank alone in silence. One glass after another, the alcohol gradually paralyzed his nerves!

It made him forget all the worries and sorrows in his heart, and soon he was drunk and fell into a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Lin Shaoyang shook his head helplessly, carefully took off his shoes and coat, and gently covered him with a quilt. Looking at him sleeping peacefully, he couldn't help but feel a complicated emotion in his heart.

After settling Gu Qingshi down, Lin Shaoyang tiptoed out to wash up.

As he passed by the yard, he inadvertently noticed that the light in Jiang Yanqiu's kitchen was still on.

Without a second thought, Lin Shaoyang rushed to the wall, nimbly flipped over, and raised his hand to knock on the door a few times.

At this moment, Jiang Yanqiu was concentrating on making pancakes. She was suddenly frightened when she heard a knock on the door.

She patted her chest, wondering with lingering fear: "I clearly locked the gate to the yard. How could someone come into the yard and knock on the door in the middle of the night?"

Before she could open her mouth to ask, Lin Shaoyang's familiar voice came from outside the door: "It's me, Lin Shaoyang, I have something to talk to you about."

When Jiang Yanqiu heard it was Lin Shaoyang, she breathed a sigh of relief and went to open the door. She couldn't help but complain, "Can't you just go through the main door? Why did you climb over the wall? There was no sound at all, it scared me to death!"

Lin Shaoyang grinned and said nonchalantly, "It's late at night. If I knock on the door from the courtyard gate, it will make a lot of noise. I'm afraid of waking others. Besides, if I haven't done anything wrong, I won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on my door. You are so scared. Could it be that you have done something wrong again?"

Jiang Yanqiu rolled her eyes at him fiercely and retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who has done anything wrong? When have I ever done anything wrong?"

Lin Shaoyang muttered to himself, "Huh, haven't you done enough bad things?"

On the surface, he quickly smiled and apologized: "My mouth is full of nonsense. What you did was all good things. I just talked nonsense just now. Please don't take it seriously."

Jiang Yanqiu didn't want to continue discussing this topic with him, so she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and tell me what's the matter."

Lin Shaoyang's expression became a little complicated. He was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "We're leaving here early tomorrow morning, so I'm afraid I won't have time to say goodbye to each of you one by one. I just thought I'd come over and tell you something. Once I'm settled in, I'll write to you and give you my contact information. If you encounter any difficulties or need help in the future, just write to me. And when you return to the imperial capital, you're welcome to visit us anytime!"

When Jiang Yanqiu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little surprised. She never expected that Lin Shaoyang would come and tell her this.

Logically speaking, they are people of different classes and should not have any contact after leaving. Why did this person go out of his way to leave his contact information?

My mind couldn't help but think of the incident when Gu Qingshi was drugged.

She wondered in her heart, could it be that this guy came to thank her specifically for this matter?

So he explained again: "The matter between Tian Mi and Gu Zhiqing really has nothing to do with me!"
