Siheyuan: I am the God of Cooking, and all the birds are crying with envy!

On the sixth day of March, the sun was shining brightly and the sky was as clear and blue as a gem.

The tender green willow branches hang lightly on the roadside, as if they were a green curtain woven by nature for the earth.

The bright and juicy peach blossoms are like messengers of spring, vying with each other in beauty and blooming, decorating the whole world with colorful colors.

It's incredible! Just a week ago, this place was covered in snow.

At that time, all things were immersed in winter slumber, and the earth seemed particularly quiet and deserted.

However, after only seven days, as if hearing the call of spring, the weeds that had been covered in dust for a whole winter could not wait to break out of the ground.

They grow tenaciously, stretching their tender green leaves towards the sun, demonstrating the strength and tenacity of life.

He Yuzhu hired two ox carts and he rode a bicycle with Ying Bao sitting in the front and Chen Bao sitting in the back.

The two ox carts were loaded with things.

Because the road was uneven and there were too many things, it was impossible to carry people.

So they all walked to the countryside.

As they got further and further away from Beijing, Xu Xinyue looked at the city gate behind her with a sense of loss.

At this moment, she felt reluctant to leave.

But when she turned around and saw her husband and her two children, she felt satisfied again.

Whether in the city or the countryside, as long as the family is together, what does it matter where you live?

Besides, it’s not like they won’t come back.

Brother Zhuzi said that they would return to the city after their children went to school.

So, they won't stay in the countryside for a few years and will come back soon.

Thinking in this way, going to the countryside doesn’t seem so difficult to accept.

However, as they got further away from Beijing, the road ahead became more and more familiar to Xu Xinyue.

She was puzzled but didn't ask.

Xu Xinyue felt that perhaps the familiar road was just the end of the process.

It is the only way to the end.

until……

After reaching her destination, she correctly realized that the familiar road was not the only way, but the destination.

Xu Xinyue didn't expect that the place He Yuzhu supported was actually her hometown.

Red Flag Brigade of Mengniu Commune.

It was not called the Red Flag Brigade before, but Red Flag Village.

It was because of the arrival of the Storm Movement that Hongqi Village was changed to Hongqi Brigade.

The Red Flag Brigade’s slogans were everywhere in the village.

Hongqi Village was the most difficult and darkest place Xu Xinyue had ever lived.

In Hongqi Village, he experienced the darkest and most desperate time in his life.

If she had not seen no hope and could not survive in Hongqi Village, how could she have wandered with her younger sister for three years?

However, the place she thought she would never set foot in suddenly returned to her in such a short time.

When the ox cart stopped at the entrance of the village, He Yuzhu thought he could see some happiness on Xu Xinyue's face.

However, what he saw was despair, sadness, and intense pain.

He Yuzhu was shocked, "Wife, I wanted to give you a surprise, but I seem to have messed it up."

The reason why He Yuzhu did not tell Xu Xinyue where he was going in the countryside was to give her a surprise.

The Hongqi Brigade is Xu Xinyue’s hometown, and it is also the place where He Yuzhu negotiated.

The Red Flag Brigade is only an hour and a half away from Beijing.

It will be quite close if I want to go to the city in the future.

Even if the children want to go back to the city to study in the future, he can go back and forth.

The most important thing is that he thought finding a place Xu Xinyue was familiar with would be better and more intimate for her.

But...it seems like good intentions have led to bad consequences.

He messed up.

Xu Xinyue kissed him on the cheek and pulled the corner of her mouth reluctantly.

This smile is uglier than crying.

He Yuzhu was so worried when he saw this.

However, there was no turning back at this point.

We can only bite the bullet and move forward.

He Yuzhu was also very annoyed that he had not discussed it with Xu Xinyue in advance.

As I entered the village, I didn't see a single person, not even a child.

It feels like a dead village.

Empty, silent, without a trace of life.

Even the houses are all made of adobe and thatched roofs, with one or two stone houses occasionally interspersed among them.

Of course, we also saw the few tiled houses.

This tile-roofed house stands abruptly in the village, appearing so distinct and out of place.

He Yuzhu discovered that when Xu Xinyue saw the tile-roofed house, her eyes were filled with heartache, reluctance, and resentment.

The emotions are strong and complex.

He Yuzhu thought that this tiled house must have some connection with Xu Xinyue.

But this was not the time to talk. He Yuzhu took the certificate and found the assigned house.

There are three stone houses and one mud and thatched house. These four rooms were where Xu Xinyue lived before.

The house is located at the end of the village, surrounded by scattered mud and thatched houses.

Most of the houses in Hongqi Village are concentrated at the entrance or in the middle of the village.

There are only a few families living at the end of the village.

"Sister, is this our home?" Xu Xinmei's eyes were full of confusion.

After all, Xu Xinmei was very young at that time, so it was understandable that she didn't know her own home.

But 9-year-old Xu Xinmei has already learned to read people's faces.

Xu Xinyue is her only relative. She seldom tells him about her past. He used to ask, but asking too much would make Xu Xinyue unhappy.

So she stopped asking later.

Because she knew that her hometown was an untouchable place in her sister's heart.

Now her sister's expression seemed to be nostalgic and sad. She thought that a place that could make her sister sad was not a good place.

However, before Xu Xinyue could feel sad, a sudden male voice interrupted her grief.

"Who are you? What do you want to do in our team?"

The man was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was thin, dark, had an unshaven beard, and half of his hair was white.

His eyes were cloudy, his teeth were dark yellow, and his face was yellow and black with a deathly look, as if he was a man who didn't have much time left.

When Xu Xinyue saw this person, he was confused at first, and then he became calm, as if the fluctuation at that moment had never happened.

All the changes in Xu Xinyue's expression were seen by He Yuzhu.

Xu Xinyue knew this man, but she pretended not to know him.

Either they really don't know him, or they don't want to know him, or they don't want to be involved with this person.

"Where is the acting captain of your village?" He Yuzhu answered the question irrelevantly.

The middle-aged man looked at him warily, "What do you want from our captain?"

Captain?

As far as he knew, the Red Flag Battalion had not appointed a captain, and only now that he had arrived did they appoint him.

So who is the captain the man is talking about?

"My name is He Yuzhu. I have been appointed as the captain of the Red Flag Squadron. Can you help find the acting captain?"

He clearly knew that he would take up the post in the next few days, but he ended up with an empty village. The so-called acting captain was not there either.

Is this... embarrassing yourself?

Or give yourself a warning?
