Upon hearing this, Zhao Sulan couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking to herself, "These two country bumpkins actually came with me to the countryside..."

After finishing the cornbread in her hand, Su Niannian took out a steamed bun from the oil paper package.

Steamed buns made with white flour.

This made Zhao Sulan, who was watching from the side, swallow hard.

In those days, white steamed buns were a luxury that ordinary people couldn't afford.

Even though her family is well-off, they can't afford to eat white flour more than a few times a month.

"Here you go!" Su Niannian handed the steamed bun to Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"I'm full, no need."

"I won't eat something this precious; you can keep it for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Sulan kept her eyes fixed on the steamed bun in Su Niannian's hand.

“I was also a sent-down youth, and I was also going to Kaoshan Village.”

"Since we're going to get along well in the future, let's get to know each other."

"My name is Zhao Sulan, nice to meet you. Since she won't eat this bun, why don't I have it?"

Zhao Sulan raised an eyebrow and, with a fake smile on her face, prepared to go and pick up Su Niannian's steamed buns.

As a result, Su Niannian directly stuffed it into Song Zhaodi's hands.

"I'm sorry, I just ate her food. It's just returning the favor," Su Niannian said with a smile to Zhao Sulan.

Zhao Sulan turned to look at Song Zhaodi.

Song Zhaodi looked at the steamed bun in her hand again.

Just as Zhao Sulan was about to speak, Song Zhaodi took a bite of the bun.

Although she is somewhat honest, she also knows right from wrong.

That Zhao Sulan looks like a difficult person to get along with.

She could tell just now that he was giving her a hard time.

Even if I don't eat these buns myself, I can't just give them to her for free.

Anyway, we'll be working in the same village in the future. Looking at Su Niannian's slender arms and legs, I'll help her with more chores in the future, and that will be enough to repay Baozi's kindness.

But... after one bite.

Song Zhaodi then realized that it was actually a meat bun!

A big, white steamed bun with meat filling! She had never eaten anything so delicious before.

The soft, chewy skin and the juicy meat filling inside were simply... absolutely delicious.

The aroma of the minced meat wafted through the air for a short while.

It did attract the attention of those nearby.

Su Niannian couldn't help but smile at Song Zhaodi's reaction.

"I...I didn't know it was a meat bun...Now I owe you even more..."

"What's wrong with that? Food is meant to be eaten."

In her previous life, Su Niannian was tricked and deceived by Lu Xingguang and Huang Yingying, took the blame for many things, was ostracized, wronged, and had no good friends.

If she had to do it all over again, Su Niannian would suffer the same loss, and she couldn't afford to make the same mistake twice.

With the clattering of the train, a day and a night passed quickly. The train stopped at several stations along the way, and people got on and off one after another. It was now past 2 p.m. the next day, and the train slowly pulled into the platform in Harbin.

Many people got off the bus one after another.

Su Niannian and Song Zhaodi had chatted a lot along the way. As soon as they got off the car, they were about to ask where to catch a bus to Long County.

Zhao Sulan followed at a distance that was neither too close nor too far, which saved her from getting lost.

There were also a few people in twos and threes in the distance, who were also heading to Long County.

Soon, the bus bound for Long County departed.

The drive takes more than two hours.

The closer Su Niannian got to Long County, the more excited she became.

Because the village of Kaoshan will send a tractor to pick them up.

Gu Nan had said before that he spotted himself in the crowd at the bus station.

The two-plus hours the car was traveling took Su Niannian very long and agonizing.

Every minute and every second felt like it was passing incredibly slowly.

Fortunately, no matter how agonizing it was, Su Niannian finally waited until the car stopped at Longxian Bus Station.

Su Niannian quickly tidied her hair and clothes, then got off the bus carrying her snakeskin bag.

She walked quickly to the bus station, where the crowd was bustling, but Su Niannian still spotted Gu Nan in the crowd at a glance.

It was already dusk, and the sky was tinged with red by the afterglow of the setting sun.

A man wearing a white shirt and military green trousers stood there leaning against the tractor.

The white shirt was tucked into the pants, which made her figure look very well proportioned, and her long legs looked very tall and straight.

His face was angular and his thin lips were slightly pursed. His skin was tanned a bronze color from years of hard work, and his shirt sleeves were rolled up quite a bit, revealing his muscular arms.

Upon seeing the man not far away, Su Niannian's eyes immediately reddened.

I had a faint urge to rush over and hug him.

However, I still endured it.

She didn't want to scare him off from the start.

Su Niannian stood there, staring blankly for a long time.

"Gu Nan, I'm here," Su Niannian silently shouted in her heart.

Because Su Niannian was standing still, Song Zhaodi caught up from behind.

"Why are you standing here? You ran really fast just now!" Song Zhaodi said, standing next to Su Niannian while carrying two cloth bags.

Then, seeing that Su Niannian was ignoring him, he followed Su Niannian's gaze.

Then we saw the tractor that came from Kaoshan Village to pick up the educated youth.

There were two men leaning against the tractor.

"Brother Nan, look at that girl over there, she's so pretty." A man standing next to Gu Nan pointed in Su Niannian's direction.

"Yes." Gu Nan had seen the little girl earlier that morning.

After all, such a pretty girl stands out in a crowd, as if she has her own halo.

It's just... the way that little girl was looking this way was a bit strange.

It's like seeing a long-lost friend again; although no words are spoken, it feels like a lot of longing has been expressed.

"Brother Nan, do you think that little girl is one of the educated youth we're here to pick up?"

"If that's the case, I don't know if I'll have a chance to develop this career path."

"That girl is so beautiful! I've never seen such a pretty girl before." Li Ergou, who was next to Gu Nan, said, scratching his head shyly.

Upon hearing this, Gu Nan couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Li Ergou.

Li Ergou didn't notice Gu Nan's gaze and was still grinning foolishly.

After all, the little girl had already walked towards him.

There was a conspicuous wooden sign on the tractor that read "Kaoshan Village!"

Su Niannian had already walked up to the two of them and calmed herself down.

“My name is Su Niannian, and I was a sent-down youth who went to Kaoshan Village. This is Song Zhaodi, who was also a sent-down youth.”

Su Niannian's voice was very soft, but not spoiled; she spoke with grace and poise.

Gu Nan nodded.

Li Ergou, who was standing to the side, quickly took a step forward and reached out his hand to shake hands with Su Niannian.

His face was beaming with a radiant smile.

"I am Li Ergou from Kaoshan Village, and this is Gu Nan. We are here to pick you up."

Su Niannian was originally holding the snakeskin bag with both hands, but seeing Li Ergou's enthusiasm, she wanted to reach out and shake hands with him.

But then Gu Nan stepped forward and blocked Li Ergou's path.
