Li Hongmei and Hu Ziqiang returned to the Educated Youth Compound together. In the courtyard, the other youths sighed in relief when they saw the two of them come back.
Outside, the evening glow had faded and night was falling. If the two hadn't returned soon, everyone was about to go out and search for them.
As soon as Hu Ziqiang escorted Li Hongmei back to the courtyard, he bolted for the kitchen.
He was starving to death and had to get something to eat.
The food back then had no oil and wasn't filling at all, so when you got hungry, it was truly unbearable.
Since Li Hongmei's change of heart, she found Hu Ziqiang more and more pleasing to the eye. Naturally, she also noticed everyone's teasing, and her face remained shy and bashful.
No one else liked to associate with Li Hongmei, mainly because she had absolutely no sense of boundaries. Whoever was on good terms with her, she would casually use their things without asking.
