Returning to the dormitory, the corners of Tao Nanfeng's mouth turned up unconsciously.

The room was still the same room, the curtains were still the same, and there were three sets of quilts on the big bunk bed. It was the same as when I left.

But in her eyes, everything was different.

Everything seems to be lined with a golden edge, and it is dazzlingly beautiful. Even the familiar green mountains and green trees outside the window have become so beautiful, making people really want to sing a song.

Tao Nanfeng actually sang.

"The blue sky is filled with white clouds, and horses are running beneath the white clouds..."

She couldn't find the key to sing, humming a tune in her mouth, brushing the fingers of her right hand across the table, her slender white fingertips seemed to be dancing.

Such Tao Nanfeng made Li Huilan, who had just returned from get off work, feel something was wrong.

She pulled Ye Qin aside, pointed at Tao Nanfeng who was immersed in sweetness, and said, "Look at this girl Nanfeng, is there something wrong? Maybe she went back to Jiangcheng to fall in love with someone?"

Ye Qin nodded and agreed: "It's possible! It was normal when I went to the provincial capital for a meeting a few years ago, but it's different when I come back."

The two girls looked at each other and jumped in front of Tao Nanfeng: "Hey - tell the truth!"

Tao Nanfeng's singing was interrupted, and she stopped and looked at her two roommates in confusion.

Li Huilan blinked at her: "Are you in love? We are good sisters, we are not allowed to hide it."

Ye Qin also squeezed over: "Yes, you are not allowed to hide and tuck in. You have to tell us anything."

Tao Nanfeng tilted his head, but his face turned red.

Ye Qin's eyes widened and he pointed at Tao Nanfeng: "It's over, you're blushing! You must have talked about it!"

It was the first time that Li Huilan saw Tao Nanfeng's little daughter, and she was also very surprised: "Who is it? Tell me quickly, do we recognize her?"

Which boy dares to confess his love to Tao Nanfeng? Everyone in Jiangcheng is familiar with these educated youths, and Tao Nanfeng has never seen anyone take special care of them. Looking at the farm employees, there are almost no people who are worthy of Tao Nanfeng.

The more they thought about it, the more curious they became. Li Huilan and Ye Qin both approached Tao Nanfeng and asked, "Who is it?"

Tao Nanfeng shook his head. Xiang Bei's name was rolling on the tip of his tongue, but he just couldn't say it out. Xiang Bei... He was an authoritative leader in the eyes of Jiangcheng's educated youth. Who would think of him?

Li Huilan stamped her foot: "You didn't tell us, bad Nanfeng."

Ye Qin rolled his eyes: "Don't we know each other? Is he your classmate in Jiangcheng, or was he a child? Or is he the one your dad introduced to you this time?"

Tao Nanfeng still smiled and said nothing.

Li Huilan and Ye Qin were so angry that they circled around the room, but Tao Nanfeng was very strict. If she refused to speak, it would be useless for anyone to coax her.

The name was on the tip of his tongue, with a hint of sweetness, but Tao Nanfeng didn't want to share this happiness with others.

On the other side, I went one step further north and one step shallower, and returned home in a daze, feeling a little out of place.

Liang Yinzhen saw her son's eyes were straight, his face was slightly red, but there was a smile on his lips, and he was confused. She walked up to her son, stroked his forehead, and said doubtfully: "I don't have a fever."

Xiang Yongfu squatted under the eaves and smoked dry tobacco, enjoying it very much.

He squinted without even looking at Xiang Bei, and only said one sentence: "Grow up~"

Liang Yinzhen understood immediately and asked Xiangbei in surprise: "Which girl is she from?"

Xiangbei didn't answer his mother's words. He pulled out a bamboo chair with a backrest from the house and placed it behind his father: "Dad, sit down."

Xiang Yongfu shook his head: "Squatting is good, I'm used to it."

When Xiang Bei saw that his father was not sitting down, he sat down by himself. A smell of smoke drifted over, and the familiar smell gradually calmed him down.

"She's a good girl."

When Liang Yinzhen heard her son's words, her heart dropped and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay."

My son is almost twenty-seven, and it is too late not to get married. Now that he has someone in his heart, it seems that he is not worried about having to shave his head, so that's good.

Liang Yinzhen asked him tentatively: "Years ago, you asked me to make cloth shoes. Are the sizes you got back for that girl?"

Xiang Bei nodded and said, "Yes." He was walking with Tao Nanfeng and heard her complain that leather shoes would be a bit painful after walking for a long time, so he thought of giving her a pair of cotton shoes. He didn't know how, so he had to ask his mother, who was handy, for help.

He quietly measured Tao Nanfeng's shoe size and asked his mother to help him make a pair.

Liang Yinzhen said happily: "I have the shoe size. I will make two pairs of cloth shoes for her later. Why don't you give me her body measurements and I will cut some clothes for her. Girls, how can I not love new clothes?"

of."

From Liang Yinzhen's point of view, since she is the girl that her son likes, she must be loved very much.

Xiang Bei smiled slightly: "Don't worry, she is thin-skinned and doesn't dare to give too many things."

There were only a few people in the family, and Liang Yinzhen had been looking forward to Xiangbei getting married early and having more children to make this deserted home more lively.

Seeing that the daughter-in-law who had been waiting for so many years had hope, Liang Yinzhen could not sit still. She walked into the kitchen and started to get busy: "I'm going to steam a pot of red date and walnut rice cakes. You can send them to me. The girl's family."

You need to take more tonic, this pastry will be good after you eat it.”

Xiang Bei responded, leaned back in the chair, looked up at the strings of fiery red peppers under the eaves, and heard the aroma of farm firewood. He thought to himself: "I don't know, will the south wind blow?"

I like my family."

At night, it was dark.

Xiang Bei carried a bowl of steamed cakes in his arms and headed to the educated youth point.

It was cold and I met no one on the road. The road was dark at night, but my heart felt very hot heading north.

Seeing the tiled roofs of the educated youth spot from a distance, the corners of Xiang Bei's mouth turned up.

Walking to the center of the floor, looking at the closed door of the girls' dormitory, he stopped to the north, took out the bowl of red date and walnut rice cake covered with body heat, and took a deep breath.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk." A polite knock on the door sounded.

"Who is it?" Li Huilan walked over and opened the door with a big smile on her face, "Director Xiang, why are you here? Is there any emergency notice?"

Tao Nanfeng looked over from the table and saw Xiang Bei with shining eyes, and pursed his lips and smiled.

Looking north over Li Huilan's shoulder, he looked with ardent eyes at Tao Nanfeng, who was slowly walking over, and handed over the large porcelain bowl in his hand.

"This is steamed rice cake for you to try."

Li Huilan took it and was a little flattered: "Why, how can this be so embarrassing?"

Tao Nanfeng, who was gradually approaching, had a smile as bright as a flower, which looked even more beautiful under the dim light. Xiang Bei tried to steady his mind and said, "It's nothing, just a snack made by country people."

After that, he turned and left.

After taking a few steps, he finally couldn't hold it back and stopped and turned around to take a look. Tao Nanfeng was standing next to Li Huilan and gestured to him: "Thank you."

Xiang Bei lowered his head and smiled, and his rapidly beating heart finally calmed down.

When Xiang Xiang walked far north, Li Huilan put the glutinous rice cake on the table and invited everyone to come and eat. Tao Nanfeng picked up a small square cake, which was soft and soft in his hands.

Ye Qin ate the pastry in one bite and squinted his eyes as he praised: "Wow, the rice cake just steamed is soft and fragrant. It contains red dates and walnuts. It's so delicious!"

Li Huilan asked: "What are we going to do to the director? Why did he suddenly come to deliver a bowl of rice cakes? Why do I feel a little uneasy..."

Ye Qin was a little nervous when he heard what she said: "Well, it's not because we did something wrong. Let's comfort him first and then criticize him severely tomorrow, right?"

Tao Nanfeng knew it well, but she refused to say it.

She put the rice cake into her mouth, and the aroma of red dates and walnuts mixed into a sweet smell, which made her whole body seem to be surrounded by sweet pink bubbles.

Xiang Bei told her he loved her, and he said he would always be with her, which was great.

Ye Qin's refreshing voice sounded from the side: "No matter what, let's eat first! I haven't had such delicious rice cakes for a long time."

Li Huilan also started to eat rice cakes. While eating, she asked doubtfully: "Where did Mr. Xiang get this rice cake? Is it the canteen of the field department? It's such a cold day, and it's not cold yet."

Ye Qin was heartless, and he still had rice cakes in his mouth, and he said vaguely: "It doesn't matter where he got it from, if he gave it to us, we will eat it.

Hehe, my team is so accurate. It’s great that Xiang Bei is the field director. Since Xiang Bei took office, you can see that our farm is getting more and more prosperous. The mining industry is so rich that Chen Zhilu dare not tell the outside world how much money he made last year.

.

Think about how difficult our life was when those two bad guys Jiao Liang and Luo Xuan were leaders in the past. Has it only been less than three years? Why do I feel like it has been a long time since I came to the farm? "

Li Huilan nodded in agreement, the past events still vivid in her mind.

"Isn't that right? When we first came to the farm, we didn't even have hot food or hot water. We were hungry all night. When we went to report in the morning, Luo Xuan did something to kill us and assigned us to the pig farm, and Tao Nanfeng and the others were assigned to the repair house.

The road team, at that time Wei Min wanted to fight with them, but Qiao Yadong suppressed him.

I have never raised pigs before. When I first arrived at the pig farm, I almost fainted from the smell of pig excrement. Later, the heavy rain washed away the thatched house, and we slept on the table in the office... In those days, life was worse than death."

After recalling the bitterness and thinking about being so soft-spoken, she should at least say a few good words to Xiang Bei. Li Huilan's words suddenly changed.

"I remember the first hot meal I had when I came to the farm. It was cooked in an iron pot sent from the north. It was so delicious, tsk tsk tsk, that I can still remember it.

Later, the south wind led us to build brick houses, and led us north to defeat Jiao Liang and Luo Xuan. Now we live comfortably, eat well, and live better and better as time goes by."

Li Huilan and Ye Qin shouted in joy at the same time: "So, thank you to the north, thank you to the south wind!"

After saying that, the two girls hugged Tao Nanfeng and started tickling her, laughing.

"No matter how nice Xiangbei is, he is not as cute as our Nanfeng family. Nanfeng, tell us honestly, who are you dating? How old are you? What books have you read? Are you good-looking? What do your parents do?

Am I sincere to you?"

Tao Nanfeng was hugged by his good friend and giggled because of the itch.

Laughing and hiding at the same time, the three of them chased each other around the house, laughing and chatting, making this winter no longer cold.

When it calmed down, Tao Nanfeng said softly with a smile on his lips and a glow on his face: "He, he is a little older than me. He has been a soldier and his parents are farmers. He is quite powerful and he treats me... he is very good to me.

"

When Li Huilan and Ye Qin heard this, they looked at each other.

Li Huilan suddenly looked at the empty bowl on the table: "I'll go! This rice cake is for you!"
