Unexpectedly, Wen Lan returned to Ten Miles Team.
Li Dahe looked bewildered and asked her, "Why aren't you staying home during your break? What are you doing here?"
Wen Lan slurped down the handmade noodles Aunt Li just cooked and said, "My mom arranged twelve blind dates for me in a week; I met three in one day at most! If I don't go, she beats me, and I have to run five miles a day to escape at home."
"I can't stay, it's impossible to stay."
Wen Lan rubbed her arms, looking extremely aggrieved.
Aunt Li laughed and placed a peeled egg in her bowl, saying, "At your age, you should be considering these things. Even Shumei and Miss Lin, who are younger than you two, are already engaged."
It was only then that Wen Lan remembered to ask, "Aunt Li, where are they? Why aren't they at the Educated Youth Corps?"
"Shumei is at home helping her sister-in-law with the kids, and Nianhe and Xiao Su went to the provincial city because Shanshan has a competition, and she went to watch."
