A delicate and gentle educated youth came to the village, and the aloof and cold soldier king droppe

From a young age, Li Ergou liked to follow Gu Nan around.

When Gu Nan got married, Li Ergou felt a mix of emotions.

I'm so happy that my good brother has found someone he wants to spend his life with.

But I always feel a little empty inside.

Now, in two or three months I'll be getting married myself, and only now do I understand the meaning of starting a family.

People grow up, and even the best of brothers may face separation.

In the future, the only person who will always be by his side is his wife.

When Li Ergou looked at Song Zhaodi, his eyes were full of love.

When she looked at Gu Nan again, she felt a pang of reluctance.

"Policies change frequently these days, and you might be able to leave Kaoshan Village in a couple of years."

"Brother, I'll be waiting for you in Beijing!" Gu Nan patted Li Ergou on the shoulder and said.

Although Li Ergou didn't know if Gu Nan's words would come true, brothers are for life.

There would always be a chance to meet again, so he nodded emphatically.

"it is good!"

Li Ergou grinned as he spoke.

Gu Nan put his arm around Su Niannian's shoulder and escorted them to the door.

The two left reluctantly.

After the two had walked away, he opened the red envelopes that Su Niannian and Gu Nan had given him.

The red envelopes were very thick, and they imagined they would receive a lot of money.

But when they actually saw handfuls of ten-yuan notes, they couldn't help but be shocked.

"So many," Song Zhaodi said, somewhat surprised.

"It should all be two hundred yuan!" Li Ergou counted the money in his hand, and saw that his side and Song Zhaodi's side should be about the same.

"It's two hundred yuan." Song Zhaodi finished counting the money in her hand.

Song Zhaodi has never had so much money in her life.

How did I end up with so much money...?

Song Zhaodi felt increasingly uneasy; there was too much money involved, and she couldn't just accept it.

He turned around to take it back to Su Niannian.

Li Ergou grabbed his arm.

"It was given to you by Su Niannian; it's a token of her affection."

"She must have felt that you were related to her to give you so much money as a gift."

"If you feel you owe her too much, you can pay her back when she has her baby."

“It wouldn’t look good if you just sent it back like that.” Li Ergou wasn’t after the money.

It's mainly about giving and receiving; there can only be giving if there is giving.

Since they've already given it to us, returning it would be too disrespectful to them.

What was originally a good thing may have turned into a bad thing after all this back and forth.

When Song Zhaodi heard what Li Ergou said, she also felt that there was some truth to it.

He then withdrew the leg he had stepped out.

"Alright then," Song Zhaodi murmured.

But I still felt that the two hundred yuan in my hand was too much, and a bit too much to handle.

When Su Niannian got married, I only gave her ten yuan as a wedding gift.

Su Niannian probably knew that the ten yuan she gave was all the money she had...

Su Niannian is really good to herself.

well.

They treat me so much better than my own family.

As Song Zhaodi thought about it, her eyes reddened.

Tears filled my eyes and fell in the blink of an eye.

"Why are you crying..."

"If you feel really uncomfortable keeping it, we'll return it." Li Ergou saw Song Zhaodi crying.

I was somewhat at a loss.

He reached out and wiped away Song Zhaodi's tears.

He was so clumsy that he almost blinded Song Zhaodi by hitting her in the eye.

"I just feel that Su Niannian is too good to me, even better than my family."

"I'm not crying anymore, don't wipe it for me, or I'll go blind again." Song Zhaodi pulled Li Ergou's hand away.

Li Ergou awkwardly withdrew his hand.

"Then I'll give you these two hundred yuan too, I'll leave them with you," Li Ergou said to Song Zhaodi.

Li Ergou wants to keep so much money with him...

Li Ergou was also very good to me.

Why is it that when I went to Kaoshan Village, so many people treated me with genuine kindness?

What merit do I possess to deserve this?

Thinking of this, Song Zhaodi felt like crying again.

But he managed to control himself, otherwise what if Li Ergou really blinded him?

This person is so clumsy; wouldn't it be very dangerous for the child if they had one later?

No way! I'm not even married yet, how come I'm already thinking about having children in the future?

Song Zhaodi shook off the thoughts in her mind and refused.

“There are many people and suspicious eyes at the educated youth settlement. If I lose so much money, I’m afraid I’ll regret it to death.”

"You should keep it!" Song Zhaodi gave Li Ergou all the red envelopes that Su Niannian had given her.

The money was left with Song Zhaodi. Song Zhaodi took the money back to the educated youth settlement. Although the people at the settlement were all very kind, there was just too much money.

Working in the fields in Kaoshan Village to earn work points, it's not difficult to have enough to eat and wear, but at the end of the year, you probably won't have much money left.

You can only save about twenty yuan a year at most, and that's only for able-bodied men.

For female educated youth like them, they might only have ten or eight yuan left at the end of the year.

Four hundred yuan, it would take decades to save!

Song Zhaodi didn't dare to gamble, thinking it best to leave the money with Li Ergou for now.

Seeing that Song Zhaodi insisted on keeping the money with him, Li Ergou accepted it all.

Song Zhaodi also warned Li Ergou to be careful not to lose it.

Li Ergou patted his chest and guaranteed it.

It definitely won't get lost.

“After we get married and you move out of the educated youth settlement, I’ll return this money to you in its entirety.” Li Ergou scratched his head and grinned foolishly.

But it warmed Song Zhaodi's heart.

Li Ergou escorted Song Zhaodi back to the educated youth settlement. Only after seeing Song Zhaodi go inside did Li Ergou turn around and go home.

On the other side, Gu Nan and Su Niannian saw the two off, quickly washed up, and went back to their room.

When Su Niannian was leaving for Beijing tomorrow, she was thinking of giving out a few gifts that she hadn't yet given out.

Perfect timing, there's still a chance to meet again.

Seeing the reluctance on Su Niannian's face, Gu Nan hugged her tightly.

He didn't say much, just holding her gave Su Niannian strength.

Su Niannian felt that Gu Nan's embrace was the best comfort.

Whenever Gu Nan held her, Su Niannian felt incredibly happy and content.

The night passed quickly, and the next morning, after breakfast...

Everyone helped tidy up the yard, kitchen, and rooms.

After everything was tidied up, Su Niannian gave out all the gifts she hadn't had a chance to give out before.

Then we set off together back to Beijing.

Tian Guangzhi was still driving that military jeep, and Guo Futian was driving a black car.

After driving a while longer, they arrived at Baicaotang in another city, where Guo Futian switched cars back to the one he had driven from Beijing.

Because they weren't in a hurry to travel, it was two days later when the group returned to the capital.
