He Erbao's usual attire when he appeared at Zhiqing Point was a half-new military uniform, with a white false collar nailed to the neckline of the military uniform, and a mask placed on the front brim of the cotton hat, the mask was naturally white, folded neatly and placed in the brim, revealing a white edge. At that time, whether it was urban or rural, it was a very fashionable dress. He Erbao is dressed like this, and he looks very capable and reasonable.

He Erbao is no worse than these male intellectuals from the city in Li Hongmei's heart, and besides, they are now all receiving re-education from poor middle peasants under the leadership of He Erbao. He Erbao is almost the same age as the educated youth, because of He Erbao's identity, he looks so mature everywhere. Since He Erbao discovered the unique Li Hongmei among many female intellectuals, he has appeared more and more frequently in the intellectuals.

Winter in the north is the season of agricultural slack. The peasants had nothing to do, and often gathered on the kang of the production team, smoking while studying politics. The so-called political study is to read newspapers, or read "Mao Xuan". A literate, hyphenated man, led the way in all this, and the others, etc., sat on a hot kang and dozed off while smoking a homemade cigarette.

The peasants are like this, and the educated youths at the Zhiqing Point naturally have nothing to do, so they sit on the kang all day long, throwing poker while looking at the ice outside the window in a daze. At this time, He Erbao appeared in the Zhiqing Point. The intellectuals hurriedly hid the pokers, took out the newspaper from a few days ago, and read it true and false. He Erbao didn't say anything, looked at this, looked at that, and finally his gaze met Li Hongmei's gaze, and Li Hongmei avoided He Erbao's gaze as if she fled, and her cheeks turned red. After reading a paragraph, the educated youth consulted He Erbao. He Erbao talked about some domestic and foreign things very bookishly, these things were said in the newspaper, and the educated youths did not feel strange when they heard it, but they still listened to it with great interest.

He Erbao was talking, his gaze met Li Hongmei's gaze again, and he couldn't tell why he was so willing to look at Li Hongmei, every time he looked at Li Hongmei, his heart was like a rabbit so alive. As soon as he looked at Li Hongmei, he was distracted, and the words in his mouth did not reach the meaning, but fortunately, the educated youths did not bother to say anything to He Erbao, and if the words did not reach the meaning, they would not reach the meaning.

He Erbao first talked for a while with the sky high and the clouds were light, and then he walked around the house with his hands behind his back, and asked about the living conditions of the educated youth point with concern. Once, he also walked into the dormitory of the female educated youth, and the dormitory of the female educated youth and the dormitory of the male educated youth were separated by only one stove room. The bedding of the female intellectuals is much neater than that of the male intellectuals, and the kang and the ground are naturally much cleaner, He Erbao once stretched out his hand, put his hand under one of the quilts and touched it, and the quilt he inadvertently put his hand into turned out to be Li Hongmei's. Li Hongmei blushed first, and all this did not escape He Erbao's gaze. He Erbao said as if to hide something: This kang is not hot, burn more firewood at night, and don't freeze.

All the educated youths nodded or answered, their hearts were warm, before, when the old branch secretary was there, they also came to their Zhiqing point, but they had never cared about them as much as He Erbao. They looked at He Erbao in front of them, and they all felt that they would not be too far away from the day of returning to the city, so both men and women smiled at He Erbao and said something about the tiredness and hard work of the branch secretary.

At this time, He Erbao's expression was indifferent, until now, he still didn't have a good impression of these educated youth, and he couldn't tell himself, as soon as he saw Li Hongmei's dark and bright eyes, he felt in his heart that only people like Li Hongmei were worthy of living in the city.

Once, He Erbao participated in the political study of the educated youth, and the content of his study was naturally to read newspapers. When it was Li Hongmei's turn, He Erbao was attracted by Li Hongmei's sweet voice, Li Hongmei finished reading a paragraph and passed the newspaper to the next person, He Erbao still couldn't wake up at this time. When Li Hongmei read the newspaper, he not only found that the voice was good, but also further found that Li Hongmei's lips were red and her teeth were white. He Erbao's heart was pounding. It wasn't until he left the Educated Youth Point that one of his bold ideas came into being.

Early the next morning, Li Hongmei was called away by the correspondent of the brigade headquarters who hurried to the Zhiqing point. The correspondent said that the branch secretary had something to do and asked Li Hongmei to hurry up and go to the brigade headquarters.

Although the correspondent came to call her, it still upset her, and she walked out for a while, only to remember that she was not wearing the red scarf, so she returned to put the scarf on, and then walked to the brigade headquarters in a panic. The educated youths didn't know why they called Li Hongmei away, they were very sensitive at this time, so they asked each other if there were any indicators of returning to the city recently.

While they were in confusion, a loudspeaker sounded on the roof of the brigade headquarters and on the old locust tree in the center of the village. First, He Erbao blew two breaths into the microphone, and then He Erbao said to the microphone: The poor middle peasants in the mountains, now that we are studying, I invite Li Hongmei, a young man of knowledge, to lead everyone to study together.

Next, people heard Li Hongmei reading the newspaper, and Li Hongmei read an editorial in the People's Daily, an article on the capitalist roaders still walking. Li Hongmei's voice was not calm at all in people's ears, and she seemed panicked, and careful people could still hear He Erbao's voice on the side, He Erbao said: Don't be nervous, why don't you drink some water first. There is also the sound of pouring water and putting cups down.

Li Hongmei's voice became much more natural when she read the second article, and her words became smoother.

Since then, as soon as Li Hongmei has eaten breakfast, she walked into the brigade headquarters, and after a while, the sound of Li Hongmei reading the newspaper appeared on the loudspeaker.
