1970s: After Transmigrating, the Fake Heiress Returns to the Village to Grow Sweet Potatoes

Lin Yu awakens with memories of her past life and discovers she is a cannon fodder supporting character in a modern-era novel. The female lead is the real heiress, and Lin Yu is merely a fake heire...

Chapter 154 He Xiaofeng, the Transport Team

When the transport team leader heard Lin Yu's request, he frowned and said, "This is against the rules. He Xiaofeng is an employee of the transport team. How can she do private work for you?"

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Captain, someone said that He Xiaofeng's father is the master of all of you?"

The team leader sighed heavily as he thought of Lao He, "Yes, without Lao He, there would be no transport team like ours."

Old He was a veteran revolutionary. After returning from the battlefield, he established this transport team according to the command of his superiors.

He trained all the drivers here, including the team leader.

Right now, being a driver is the most enviable job. Without Lao He, they wouldn't have the good life they have today.

Therefore, the transport team did not make things difficult for He Xiaofeng; on the contrary, they took good care of her.

Lin Yu seized on this point: "He Xiaofeng is a girl, and no one wants to drive with her, so she can only repair cars here and earn a salary."

As far as I know, her salary is only 35 yuan, and her mother's medicine alone costs 20 yuan a month..."

Captain He instantly understood what she meant. Not to mention that Lao He was a senior employee in the past, and his salary was nearly 100.

For example, as a transport driver, sometimes you can smuggle some goods on your own as a kind of extra income.

But since He Xiaofeng couldn't be a driver, she could only live on that 35 yuan, which shows how difficult it was for her.

The Lianhua brigade paid He Xiaofeng 25 yuan for her part-time job. With this money, her family's life could be greatly improved.

The captain couldn't make a decision and was still worried that this matter would be classified as "capitalist smuggling."

Lin Yu then said, "How about this, let's go to the commune secretary and get a certificate, is that alright?"

The team leader nodded with amusement: "That's possible, but do you think the commune office is your private property, where you can go whenever you want?"

He thought the young man was really naive and innocent.

Lin Yu knew he didn't believe her, so she raised an eyebrow and said, "I really can see the secretary. Just you wait and see."

Half an hour later, Lin Yu was sitting in Lu Yunfeng's office and even saw Gu Yunze, who was supposed to leave.

"Should I leave to make room for you guys?" Lu Yunfeng joked with a smile.

Lin Yu shook her head: "No need, I have important business to attend to."

So she explained the situation: "That's how it is. We hope you can help us by writing a certificate."

Lu Yunfeng raised an eyebrow: "Are you trying to turn your workshop into a large factory?"

Lin Yu smiled and said, "Thank you for your kind words, but even the biggest factory has to be registered under the commune's name."

The implication is that this is also one of his achievements.

Lu Yunfeng also figured it out. The workshop was located in the brigade, but the name was still Qingshan Commune. Whether or not it could be moved to the county town didn't matter anymore.

Moreover, the Lotus Brigade's location is special, so having this workshop as a cover is a good thing.

Looking at Gu Yunze, who was sitting upright but exchanging glances, Lu Yunfeng sighed: "Fine, I'll drive for you. I'm afraid of you guys."

"Thank you, Secretary."

After he obtained the certificate, Gu Yunze asked, "Has anything else happened in the brigade?"

He was waiting for someone to surface.

Lin Yu shook her head: "No, but I think it should be soon."

They will soon discover that they have not intercepted any people or documents on the road, and they will know that the goods have not yet been delivered.

If one plan fails, another will surely follow.

Gu Yunze was also waiting; he and his team had been observing the situation in the county town for a long time.

Lin Yu found Gu Yunze, whom she met here, somewhat unfamiliar. He was dressed in a military uniform, and his aura was like a newly drawn sword or a leopard waiting for its prey. His sharply defined facial features were taut, ready to pounce.

He spoke of his enemies with a fierce air, a veteran of many battles.

Lin Yu was a little stunned, but after a while she came to her senses, took the certificate and stood up: "Then I'll be going now."

Gu Yunze then got up to see her out.

Lu Yunfeng felt there was no point in sitting there; he wanted to leave them some space to be alone.

Gu Yunze accompanied her out, and at this moment his demeanor softened somewhat.

The autumn air is crisp and clear. Several trees in the courtyard of the county government building have already shed many leaves.

Lin Yu stopped under the tree, looked up at him, and said, "Gu Yunze, be careful."

Lin Yu had never seen him on the battlefield, but she guessed it must have been very dangerous.

Lin Yu had already guessed most of his mission and knew that it was fraught with danger.

But it was his duty, and she couldn't interfere; she could only tell him to be careful.

Gu Yunze has never been afraid of getting hurt or dying since he joined the army. Two years ago, he even volunteered to go to the border to participate in combat.

His family relationships are weak, and he has to make all his own decisions about what he does.

But when he heard Lin Yu's words of advice, he suddenly felt that he had a very deep connection in this world.

With a heart of steel yet tenderness, her words of advice flowed into his heart like a warm current, gently filling his soul.

He looked down at her blinking eyes and said with a smile, "Yes, I will."

Lin Yu nodded in satisfaction: "That's good. I'm off now, bye-bye."

She skipped and hopped away, and Gu Yunze watched her retreating figure, shaking his head and smiling.

Lin Yu ran into the transport team and slammed the paper in her hand onto the team leader's desk.

"See? I told you, I could get it for you."

"Captain, can He Xiaofeng go to our brigade now?"

The transport team leader looked at the "permit" stamped with the official seal and stared at Lin Yu in surprise: "How did you get this?"

Lin Yu grinned and said, "Never mind how I did it, just tell me, can Xiaofeng come to our brigade?"

The team leader called He Xiaofeng in: "Xiaofeng, do you agree to this? Are you going to help out at their brigade?"

He Xiaofeng was surprised that Lin Yu could actually accomplish this. Upon hearing this, she quickly nodded and said, "I agree, Captain."

The team leader, who had also received favors from Lao He, was well aware of He Xiaofeng's family's difficulties. Now that there was an opportunity, the Lianhua Brigade could help her through this crisis. The team leader thought for a moment:

"Okay, then I'll get it done for you!"

"From now on, you'll go to the Lianhua Brigade twice a week. Just make sure you do your job well in the transport team."

After all, this is where she gets paid, so we can't just focus on one side.

As long as she could make money, He Xiaofeng was willing to endure any amount of hard work. She nodded twice and said happily:

"Captain, I will do my job well, and I won't neglect my work in the transport team."

The team leader said earnestly, "Xiaofeng, you've worked hard."

He Xiaofeng shook her head: "Uncle, it's not hard work for me. I like repairing cars, you know that."

Yes, this child has been with Lao He since he was little, and he loves watching people tinker with parts. As he got a little older, he started to learn from him.

Among Lao He's apprentices, she learned the best.

Unfortunately, because she was a girl, Lao He always disagreed with her doing this job.

He wanted her to go to school, or work in a clothing factory or a supply and marketing cooperative...
