When Lin Yu and Li Dahui returned with the peppercorns they had bought at the supply and marketing cooperative, the brigade leader was eagerly waiting for them.

As soon as they came in, he asked, "How did it go?"

Whether the sweet potato vermicelli business can continue depends on finding a sales channel.

So Captain Lin spent the whole day anxiously waiting for Xie.

Lin Yu knew her uncle was anxious, so she explained the situation as they walked.

When Lin Aiguo heard that they had already put the goods on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, he clapped his hands happily, "Great, great! If we can get them on the counter of the supply and marketing cooperative, we can consider it a preliminary success."

As for Lin Yu's question about making seasoning packets, that's no problem.

Back at the workshop, Captain Lin quickly gathered everyone together and went to the brigade warehouse to get peanuts, soybeans, and dried chili peppers. He also sent people to the brigade's fields to pull up scallions.

After all the ingredients were prepared, Lin Yu asked Li Dahui to guide them in making the seasoning packets.

The seasoning packets made at Dingxiang's house don't contain scallions because they can't be preserved.

Lin Yu was directing Lin Yuan to build her an earthen kiln, which she planned to use to dry scallions for preservation.

The entire workshop was bustling with activity, and no one knew what the future held or whether the workshop would succeed.

But at this moment, everyone is working together towards a common goal.

"Alright, alright, everyone take a break, we'll continue tomorrow."

When Lin Yu and Li Dahui returned, it was already getting dark. Everyone was working enthusiastically, and it was already late at night.

Lin Aiguo quickly told them to go back and rest.

Lin Yu and Lin Yuan's earthen kiln has not yet been researched.

She didn't want to work overtime, so when she heard her uncle say she could leave, she immediately dusted herself off, called Lin Yuan, and went home together.

"Woof woof woof." As soon as they entered the yard, Lin Xiaoqing came over and ran around Lin Yu, clearly very happy.

Xiao Bao chased after him, calling out, "Little brother, little brother."

Lin Yuan said speechlessly, "Xiao Bao, why do you keep calling this little dog 'brother'? I don't want any dog ​​brothers at all."

Xiao Bao stopped, frowned, and pointed with his little finger, "That's the younger brother. You're the second older brother, and you're the older sister. You're the younger brother."

Lin Yuan: "So you really put Lin Xiaoqing in the same order as us? That won't do. From now on, you'll call her by her dog's name, and you're not allowed to call her 'little brother' anymore."

Lin Yu teased Xiao Qing, saying, "Second brother, don't worry about it. Xiao Qing is so cute, I'm willing to be the puppy's older sister."

"Xiao Bao, come here quickly, don't mind your second brother."

Xiao Bao stopped arguing with Lin Yuan and quickly ran over to squat down, joining Lin Yu in playing with Lin Xiaoqing.

Seeing that neither of them paid any attention to him, Lin Yuan shook his head and left.

Qiao Feng walked in from outside. Lin Yu looked up and saw him. "Brother? What's wrong with you today?"

Qiao Feng usually only comes to Lianhua Brigade during the day and goes back to the county guesthouse at night.

"Oh, I had something to do, so I didn't leave. I'll be sleeping with Lin Yuan tonight."

Lin Yu, unsuspecting, nodded and agreed.

Qiao Feng sighed inwardly. He hadn't left today because he was so busy he'd forgotten the time.

Gu Yunze received a notification to transport supplies to the researchers at the base. He couldn't manage it all by himself, so he asked Qiao Feng for help.

Since the establishment of the base, due to its confidential nature, each delivery of supplies has required close cooperation from many people.

The researchers weren't exactly living well either; the supplies sent were only enough for their frugal living expenses.

Delivering supplies once is enough to sustain them for two years, so transporting supplies is the most important task.

Gu Yunze was contacted by his partner, Lu Yunfeng, who had already successfully established himself in the county town.

Gu Yunze needed to find an opportunity to secretly transport the items to the base.

Qiao Feng was there to assist him, so naturally he would lend a hand as well.

So he had to stay at the Lianhua Brigade at night to help with the pick-up in the middle of the night.

...

At midnight, Qiao Feng quietly left the house. Lin Yuan was fast asleep, completely unaware of what was happening.

After meeting up with Gu Yunze and receiving the items from Lu Yunfeng at the village entrance, the three of them transported the items to the designated location together.

Comrades from the base came out to meet them, and then, in a relay, they took all the belongings back to the base.

After delivering the items, Qiao Feng, Gu Yunze, and Lu Yunfeng looked at their captain and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Without having time to say more, the three of them parted ways.

Qiao Feng turned over and entered the courtyard.

"who!"

Qiao Feng looked up and, in the soft moonlight, saw Lin Laosan standing at the door, wearing a coat.

Qiao Feng had already hidden in the darkness, but he was very uneasy, wondering if the other person had seen him.

Then they heard Lin Laosan say into the room, "No one's here, it's just a bit windy. Go to sleep, it'll be fine."

After he finished speaking, their room returned to silence.

Qiao Feng rolled over again, went into Lin Yuan's room, got into bed, and fell asleep instantly.

The next morning, "Damn it, who stole the eggs again! Lin Laosan, you come out here!"

Grandma Lin was full of energy early in the morning.

She wanted to take the eggs out of the henhouse, but after counting them, she found that two were missing!

It must have been that brat Lin Laosan who stole the food.

Lin Laosan came out, yawning: "Mother, what's wrong with you again? It's so early in the morning, why don't you sleep a little longer?"

He mumbled something under his breath, clearly not daring to say it aloud.

Grandma Lin pinched his ear. "What did you say? Say it again? You think I'm disturbing your sleep?"

"Oh, Mother, please don't do this, I was wrong, I was wrong."

Grandma Lin let him go, hands on her hips: "You better tell me honestly, did you steal the eggs from the henhouse?"

Lin Laosan chuckled, "Mother, how could I? I wouldn't dare."

When Grandma Lin saw that he was trying to run away, she grabbed his hand and searched his pockets and clothes.

"Look, look, what's this? Eggshells! You haven't had time to throw them away yet, have you? I'll beat you to death, you greedy thing."

Early in the morning, the house was in complete chaos. Lin Yu stood at the window watching her father being chased and beaten by her grandmother, and found it all very funny.

"Qiao Feng, how did you sleep last night?" Lin Yuan was also awake now, and worried that his sleeping posture was not good, so he asked Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng shook his head. "Your sleeping posture is quite good, and I slept very well too."

As he spoke, he put on his coat and stood up.

He looked out the window at the chicken coop, wondering if he had stepped on an egg last night.

When I rolled over and came in, it seemed to be right where the chicken coop was.

Did Lin Laosan discover him?

They even collected the eggs he crushed to help cover it up?

Does he know something?

Qiao Feng frowned, feeling that the Lin family also had secrets.

But the Lin family are his sister's relatives. How to investigate them without hurting them? He needs to discuss this with Gu Yunze.

Amidst the hail of bullets and the silent smoke of battle, Lin Yu's life was happy and simple.

Because she and Lin Yuan, after a morning of research, finally finished building the earthen kiln!

She washed the scallions, chopped them into small pieces, and arranged them on a large plate, spreading them out evenly.

Then put the plate and chopped green onions into the earthen kiln.

Then I just squatted down and waited...
