Lin Yu pursed her lips and stammered.

Song Meili then realized that she had spoken without thinking and had mentioned Gu Yunze.

Lin Yu had told the two of them before that she didn't want others to know that she and Gu Yunze were dating.

In her excitement, Song Meili forgot that Qiao Feng, who was present, was unaware of the situation.

Qiao Feng slammed his hand on the table, startling all three of them.

"Hurry up and tell me!"

This person sounds like he has a close relationship with Lin Yu, but Lin Yu has only been here for a few months!

As the older brother, Qiao Feng always kept a close eye on Lin Yu, forbidding her from dating early and preventing other men from getting close to his sister, not even his classmates and friends.

But now, just a few months after leaving Haicheng, a strange man has appeared by her side?

Seeing that Qiao Feng was about to get angry, Song Meili, with the mentality of "better to die than see my friend die," grabbed Ou Manqing and ran away.

"Xiaoyu, we'll come see you again next time."

Lin Yu clenched her fist. Did this guy have no sense of loyalty at all?

They just ran away like that!

At least help her with the braiding...

Lin Yu sighed, knowing there was no escaping it today, so she pulled Qiao Feng to her room.

Qiao Feng looked at her small but cozy room and felt even more satisfied with the Lin family.

But the most important thing now is for Lin Yu to explain the matter concerning the surname Gu.

"Qiao Yu, oh no, Lin Yu, explain yourself clearly, don't make up lies."

Lin Yu sat on the bed, and Qiao Feng sat at her desk.

"Brother, Gu Yunze is an educated youth from the brigade, and his family seems to be from Beicheng."

Qiao Feng raised an eyebrow and asked her to continue.

Lin Yu pursed her lips and said, "He, he's my boyfriend now."

Qiao Feng frowned. Although he had guessed it before, he still found it hard to accept when Lin Yu said it out loud.

"Xiaoyu, you've only been here a short time, and you're already dating someone? Do you even know him?"

"I... I know him. I guess so."

After saying that, Lin Yu gritted her teeth and secretly glanced at Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng and Lin Yu grew up together, and you can tell from her expression that she's still holding back.

He frowned. "Xiaoyu, tell me quickly if there's anything else you haven't told me, before I have to investigate him."

"No, brother!"

Lin Yu didn't want Qiao Feng to get involved. She didn't even know if Gu Yunze had any mission. What if they ruined things for him?

So Lin Yu told Qiao Feng about how she knew Gu Yunze back in Haicheng.

"You mean you don't think he really came here to be a sent-down youth?"

Lin Yu nodded: "Yes, and I suspect his identity might be..."

Lin Yu pointed to his military uniform.

Qiao Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up. "Take me to meet this person."

Lin Yu said "Oh," and seeing her brother's serious expression, she didn't dare to refuse.

So Lin Yu took Qiao Feng out the door and went straight to the educated youth settlement.

The grain has all been harvested, but the vermicelli workshop hasn't been built yet. The only thing the brigade needs to do these days is to use heated brick beds to cultivate sweet potato seedlings.

The same applies to educated youth sent to the countryside.

That's why Song Meili and Ou Manqing had free time to come over to their house to chat; they'd usually be working in the fields at this time.

When the brother and sister arrived at the educated youth settlement, they saw Gu Yunze and the brigade leader Lin Aiguo standing at the door talking.

"Uncle, Gu Zhiqing, what are you talking about?"

Lin Aiguo beckoned the two over, and Gu Yunze's eyes were glued to Lin Yu the moment he saw her.

Qiao Feng's face turned several degrees colder as he looked at Gu Yunze.

Once they were closer, Lin Aiguo introduced them to each other: "Gu Zhiqing, this is Xiaoyu's older brother, Comrade Qiao Feng."

"Qiao Feng, this is Gu Yunze, an educated youth from our brigade. He helped our brigade contact a tractor this time, hauling grain for us and several nearby brigades to the grain bureau."

Lin Aiguo, the brigade leader, left the brigade today to attend a meeting in the county. He had heard many nice things from the other brigade leaders about the brigade's assistance in delivering grain.

After he returned, he came to find Gu Yunze, wanting him to be a tractor driver.

That's right. This time, Gu Yunze not only helped them contact the tractor, but also helped them apply to their superiors to leave the tractor for several brigades to use!

No wonder Song Meili just said that Gu Yunze has done a great job this time.

He probably has some connections in the county, which makes Lin Yu even more certain of his identity.

Qiao Feng shook hands with Gu Yunze: "Gu, the educated youth, is so influential, how did you manage to apply for a tractor?"

Gu Yunze felt remorseful. He had tried to make a good impression on Captain Lin and build a good relationship with him.

I specifically contacted the county leaders and asked them to make things convenient for me.

The county already had quotas, so they allocated tractors to several neighboring brigades.

However, because the Lotus Brigade was not well-known before, they were not originally intended to be assigned to it.

It just so happens that Gu Yunze knows how to drive a tractor, so becoming a tractor driver would allow him to come into contact with more people in the brigade.

So the tractor was assigned to his Lianhua Brigade.

Things did indeed unfold step by step according to their plan.

But he never expected to run into Qiao Feng.

Gu Yunze knew that Qiao Feng was Lin Yu's older brother in Haicheng and was currently serving in the army.

And judging from his appearance, he holds a fairly high position.

Gu Yunze was certain that he would be able to spot the flaws in his own abilities...

After telling Gu Yunze about the tractor driver, Lin Aiguo was about to leave.

Qiao Feng pushed Lin Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, go home with your uncle. Your brother will chat with Gu Zhiqing for a bit."

Lin Yu pouted and nodded. She didn't know what her brother wanted to say to Gu Yunze, but she also knew that her brother didn't want her to be there, so she could only leave.
