Chapter 479 Return to White Fang Mountain
After Su Mingzhe finished the third story, he saw that the situation was a bit awkward, so he smiled again:

"Bingyi, I told you the story of "Qu Tu Xi Xin" not because I want you to be grateful to me. I just don't want everyone to complain about the unfairness of fate after something happens. If, I mean, if, we can restrain our selfish desires a little now, for example, Zhou Rong has always had stomach problems, so she should restrain herself and not eat cold food. Eat more food that warms the stomach, such as millet porridge, spinach, etc., instead of eating ice cream, popsicles, and popsicles from time to time..."

"Mingzhe, I'm ashamed. It's my fault that I didn't take good care of Zhou Rong."

Zhou Bingyi is a person who can absorb other people's suggestions. He can hear that Su Mingzhe is sincerely doing this for the good of his sister.

In his heart, people like Su Mingzhe are the model of good teachers and helpful friends.

Hao Dongmei also tried to smooth things over.

The three old classmates began to talk and laugh again.

Only Zhou Rong pursed her lips, and stared at Su Mingzhe fiercely with her beautiful big black eyes.

Although, she could also tell that Su Mingzhe was doing it for her own good.

But this man didn't know how to be tactful in his words, so she was unwilling to follow his advice even if it meant she would die of stomach problems.

This is Zhou Rong's stubbornness.

As a human being, if you don’t have any persistence, can’t protect your own preferences, and just live a submissive life, what is the point even if you live to be a hundred years old?

Su Mingzhe did not continue to persuade Zhou Rong due to her stubbornness.

After all, he came to Zhou's house this time just to show up and persuade Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei to go to Baiyashan.

Even if there are no results, Su Mingzhe is not in a hurry.

It's only October now, and he will be back next month.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, when it was getting dark, Su Mingzhe said goodbye to Zhou's house and left.

On the second day.

Su Mingzhe continued to wander around the streets, buying whatever he needed.

While shopping, Su Mingzhe also came across the candied haws cart stall set up by Zheng Juan's mother, but did not see Zheng Juan.

In the TV series, it seems that Zheng Juan was often harassed by gangsters because she was too beautiful, so she didn't come out to help set up the stall.

Su Mingzhe quietly went to Zheng's house again to listen.

Zheng Juan is young and beautiful, just like Zhou Rong.

Moreover, Zheng Juan had a very quiet personality. She sat quietly on the kang at home, busy with making paper boxes and stringing candied haws, without even raising her head to rest for a while.

Su Mingzhe looked for a while, then turned around and went home.

In the following days, Su Mingzhe continued shopping and still did not see Zheng Juan go out.

In the blink of an eye, it was Wednesday.

Zhou Bingyi called on his friends and convened a gathering of his classmates from the "Xiaoyao School".

When Su Mingzhe arrived at the gathering place, he became the focus of everyone's attention and inquiries.

Faced with a variety of questions, Su Mingzhe tried his best to answer them.

These "free and easy" people won't be able to enjoy their freedom for much longer.

A notice was delivered to the street office stating that by the end of December, all families with more than one child would need to report the current conditions of their family members.

Among the adult children, only one child can stay with the parents, and the other children must participate in the Up to the Mountains and Down to the Countryside Movement.

It was Thursday.

In the morning, the families of Wang Quan, Wang Yafang and Yu Hong sent over a lot of luggage, as well as winter clothes and so on.

Su Mingzhe accepted them one by one and promised to bring them there safely.

In the afternoon, Xu Kai came alone. She said she came to confirm tomorrow's departure time with Su Mingzhe.

At the same time, Xu Kai also brought a lot of gifts, which were basically canned snacks and candies bought from Dabailou.

Su Mingzhe didn't bother to be polite with her and accepted all the gifts.

On Friday, before seven o'clock, Su Mingzhe found a cart and delivered all the supplies he had purchased to the Youth League Office.

The forest farm's car came back to pick people up.

At 7:05, Xu Kai was brought home by the family's special car.

It has to be said that even if the children of high-ranking officials are down and out, they are still much better off than ordinary families.

At half past seven, the forestry truck arrived.

This time, the convoy did not return empty-handed, but there were still many empty seats.

The supplies purchased by Su Mingzhe and all the luggage could be easily accommodated.

After the car was on the road, Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai could only continue to sit in the car seat.

Without the animal skin wrapping, Xu Kai couldn't help but lean on Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe smelled the sweet fragrance of her hair and did not refuse this kind of "throwing himself into her arms".

Along the way, the convoy stopped and started frequently, and picked up several groups of people in the middle.

This is how motorcades are these days.

In other words, the route from Jichun City to Mulan County is not a popular one, otherwise goods would be smuggled constantly.

By the time the convoy arrived at its destination, Mulan County, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

At the end of October, it gets dark early. In Mulan County, it starts to get dark around four or five o'clock.

Su Mingzhe had already agreed with the old village chief that he would come to pick him up tomorrow, Saturday, and the purchased materials would be temporarily stored in the office of the Youth League Office.

When Director Yang saw the dozen large boxes of supplies that Su Mingzhe brought back, his eyes widened:

"Good boy, you are really willing to spend this much. How much did it cost?"

"Not much. I still have more than a thousand dollars in my pocket."

Su Mingzhe chuckled. This time when he returned home, he left a thousand yuan for his family. There was no need to tell Director Yang about this.

"You are still so young, yet you are so generous and willing to help others. If you were born fifty years earlier, you would definitely be able to achieve great things."

Director Yang knew that these things were all paid for by Su Mingzhe himself. He sighed and at the same time respected Su Mingzhe even more.

Being able to make money is a skill, being willing to spend money shows vision, and being able to use your own money to do things for others free of charge is a sign of character.

Director Yang chatted with Su Mingzhe for a while, and as it was getting dark, he invited Su Mingzhe to his home for dinner. Of course, Xu Kai was also invited.

Su Mingzhe did not refuse, as he would have to trouble Director Yang often in the future.

In the afternoon, Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai went to the guesthouse to check in.

At half past five, when it was time to get off work, it was already completely dark in Mulan County.

The two went to the Youth League Office again and followed Director Yang home.

Director Yang is over 50 years old and is about to retire in the next two years. His three sons and one daughter are all serving in the army in other places, so he is left at home with only his wife.

Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai followed Director Yang to his home. Instead of letting Director Yang's wife cook, they went to the kitchen themselves and prepared six dishes and a soup.

Director Yang and his wife took two bites of food and immediately put down their chopsticks:
"No wonder you don't let your aunt cook. It seems like you don't think highly of your aunt's cooking skills."

"Uncle, I don't dare to admit what you said. I didn't bring any gifts, but I just wanted to show off my cooking skills. If you and aunt don't even give me the chance to cook, I will bring gifts next time, or I won't come at all."

"You are such a good talker, you even call me uncle, and you just listen to me when I say something to you. And you dare to negotiate with me? In the past, I would have put you in solitary confinement for a day."

Director Yang and Su Mingzhe were chatting and laughing.

Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai raised their glasses together and toasted Director Yang and his wife, wishing them good health.

After Director Yang and his wife drank it all, their eyes started to turn red:
"If you come to the county in the future, remember to come and see me. We are the only two old people in this family, so you don't have to worry about disturbing us."

"Uncle Yang, now that you've said that, I'll definitely come here more often in the future."

Su Mingzhe didn't know what being polite meant.

After the four of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Su Mingzhe played three more games of chess with Director Yang.

As a result, in the first game, the opponent was defeated in ten steps.

Game 2, nine steps.

In the third game, Su Mingzhe had only made five moves when Xu Kai saw that Director Yang had made another bad move and was about to be defeated, so he couldn't help but remind him.

But with Xu Kai's reminder, Director Yang only persisted on fifteen steps this time.

"No more, no more, go back and rest."

Director Yang is a bad chess player, but he is not bad at chess.

"Uncle Yang, Auntie, let's go back and rest."

Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai said goodbye with a smile.

The two returned to the guesthouse and went back to their respective rooms.

They are a single man and a single woman, not a couple.

Su Mingzhe had no special feelings towards Xu Kai.

Even if Xu Kai had feelings for Su Mingzhe, as a girl, it was impossible for her to take the initiative.

So, I had a good sleep tonight.

On the second day.

After breakfast, Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai went to the Youth League Office again.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the old village chief drove over in a horse-drawn carriage.

When he saw the dozen large boxes purchased by Su Mingzhe and heard Su Mingzhe say that he spent more than four thousand in total, he burst into tears.

Before this, he was thinking that Su Mingzhe must have made up an excuse to go back to Jichun City to purchase supplies, and his purpose was just to go home and visit.

The old man didn't even think that Su Mingzhe would really use all the money on him to purchase supplies.

Not only the old village chief thought so, but everyone else thought so too.

Otherwise, Director Yang would not have invited Su Mingzhe to his home for dinner yesterday.

By four o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark in Baiya Mountain.

Su Mingzhe asked the village chief to move all the things to the school, and made an appointment with him to help notify all the villagers in the village and send someone who could take charge to the school to hold a meeting the next day.

Today is Saturday and there are no classes in school.

Su Mingzhe first gave the letters that Wang Yafang, Yu Hong and Wang Quan asked them to take along to the three of them, and then divided the luggage and clothes.

We are all young people, not so sentimental.

The three of them mainly surrounded Su Mingzhe and Xu Kai, asking them about what they saw and heard when they returned and what the current situation in Jichun City was.

The five of them chatted for a while and then started to eat.

After dinner, Su Mingzhe took out two decks of playing cards that he had secretly bought.

He also thought that since the nights were long and no one could sleep, it would be better to find an entertaining activity to kill time.

He felt that playing poker was pretty good.

The way to play in Jichun City is mainly to compete for the top spot.

This game mode can be played by any number of people.

The five of them played until around nine o'clock in the evening before going to bed.

On the second day.

A little after eight in the morning.

Su Mingzhe returned to school carrying the wild boar he had killed, and saw a large group of people basking in the sun at the school gate.

When the old village chief saw Su Mingzhe carrying a wild boar on his back, he hurried over with his men.

"Su Zhiqing, you are really strong!"

"Village chief, no one else needs to come and help. I'll just put it in the animal pen."

The wild boar that Su Mingzhe killed today was quite big, weighing more than 300 pounds. He didn't dare to let a few villagers catch such a ferocious mountain beast.

If the villagers untied the rope around the wild boar, with so many people gathered here, there would be chaos.

Su Mingzhe threw the wild boar into the animal pen he had dug, then led everyone into the classroom to prepare for a meeting.
