Huang Guihua noticed Xiao Duole's little actions and couldn't help but praise, "He can distinguish people just a few days after he was born. He's a smart baby."

Duole seemed to understand that she was praising him, turned his head back, and gave her a soft smile.

After finishing my postpartum confinement, 1971 had passed, and 1972 arrived.

In early spring, the weather is cold, so Gao Shujing, who has returned to being a stay-at-home dad, usually bathes Duo Le before dark. The daytime temperature is a few degrees higher than the nighttime temperature, so the child is less likely to get cold.

As soon as I took Duole out after his bath, the little guy saw Yu Rujia and stretched out his little hands, giggling and looking like he wanted a hug.

Gao Shujing laughed and scolded, "You little rascal, Dad just finished taking care of you and then went to find Mom. You have no conscience."

Duole seemed to understand, and turned his chubby little face toward Gao Shujing. The little dumpling gave his father a sweet smile that made anyone's heart melt.

Yu Rujia reached out and grabbed his little hand, shaking it: "At such a young age, you already know to grab with both hands. Who taught you that?"

Duole thought she was playing with him, so he waved his little hands and babbled in baby talk, as if saying, "Come play, come play."

Gao Shujing: "Daddy will take you to lie in the cradle and play."

Yu Rujia reached out and picked up the laughing little Duo Le from his arms: "I'll play with Duo Le for a while, okay, Duo Le?"

Sweet and gentle little angels are the easiest to soften people's hearts, and Yu Rujia is no exception.

Without her son in her arms, Gao Shujing turned around and moved a chair to Yu Rujia's side, asking her to sit down.

Just as Yu Rujia sat down, a commotion arose at the door, accompanied by several urgent shouts: "Yu the educated youth, Yu the educated youth..."

It was Sun Mingming from the educated youth compound.

Yu Rujia peeked out and saw that Hou Dayong was covered in blood, which had flowed from the person on his back.

Several people from the educated youth compound and Li Haisheng also came in together.

Yu Rujia, not bothering to tease the little dumpling, quickly handed the baby back to Gao Shujing, saying, "Here you are, here you are."

When Hou Dayong came out, he had already placed the person he was carrying on his back onto a small bed in the infirmary. It was Zhou Likang, who had already fainted.

Hou Dayong: "Yu Zhiqing, quickly check on how Zhou Zhiqing is doing?"

Yu Rujia stepped forward to check him over. He had some injuries, but the most serious was the head injury from the fall, which had a crack from which blood was flowing.

Yu Rujia: "You guys go out for a bit, I need to stitch up the wound on his head."

After shooing everyone out, Yu Rujia took out the tools and medicine needed for suturing, quickly shaved off the hair around his wound, and applied the medicine and sutured it in one go.

After treating the injury on his head and applying medicine to the wounds on his body, they allowed the people outside to come in.

The fire brigade leader reappeared: "How are Yu Zhiqing and Zhou Zhiqing?"

Yu Rujia: "His life is not in danger, but he lost a lot of blood and needs to rest for a while and take some supplements. He has some bruises on his body, so I'll take a bottle of medicinal wine back and rub it on him."

"The most serious injury is to his head. Don't get it wet for the next few days, and change his dressing every day."

When Captain Huang heard that everyone was alright, he breathed a sigh of relief and glared fiercely at the educated youth standing outside.

Captain Huang: "Your educated youth compound can't go a day without causing trouble. You have even more problems than people in our countryside. No wonder the higher-ups sent you to the countryside to be re-educated."

"In my opinion, we in the countryside have no way to educate you properly, so we should send you to the police station for re-education."

The people at the educated youth compound said they wouldn't take the blame.

Hou Dayong: "Captain, you can't say that. Zhou Zhiqing became like this because he was beaten by Li Haisheng in the team."

Li Haisheng glared and said righteously, "Who told him to steal my girlfriend? So what if I hit him? Who knew he was so weak? He was like this after just a few blows."

In his pursuit of Song Liyun, Li Haisheng brought her half a bowl of braised pork, only to find her and Zhou Likang being affectionate, which led to a fight.

After paying off the debts incurred due to causing Lü Guihua's premature birth, Song Liyun was penniless.

With several years to go before the golden age, Song Liyun had to start being frugal, which led to a decline in her quality of life. She used to eat meat several times a month, but now she can't eat meat even once every few months.

Having grown accustomed to comfort, Song Liyun couldn't bear this hardship. In order to improve her quality of life, she accepted the work points Li Haisheng earned for helping her with chores, and she also happily accepted the things he brought her.

This led Li Haisheng to mistakenly believe that Song Liyun had agreed to date him.

Although Li Haisheng is a scoundrel who sleeps around with widows or married women, it doesn't mean he's willing to let his woman sleep with other men.

Seeing her hugging Zhou Likang, I couldn't help but feel like I was being cuckolded.

Li Haisheng had been harassing married women for years and had been beaten up many times, so he was very experienced in fighting. Zhou Likang was no match for him and was knocked to the ground in a few moves, where he fell headfirst.

At first, he didn't realize that Zhou Likang's head was broken. He hit him several more times, and blood flowed from Zhou Likang's head. The other people in the educated youth compound heard the commotion, came out, saw what was happening, and came to stop him.

Li Haisheng was also worried that someone might die, so he came along. Upon learning that Zhou Likang was alright, he regained his composure.

Captain Huang: "Who is your partner? How did you rob her?"

Li Haisheng grabbed Song Liyun, who was trying to hide: "It's Liyun. Many people in the team know that we're seeing each other. I often do chores for her and bring her food. I don't believe that Zhou Zhiqing wouldn't know."

It's no wonder there was gossip in the team when Li Haisheng, who never worked and was always idle in the team, suddenly started running around doing things for Song Liyun.

Zhou Yanhong is a gossip enthusiast, and she will naturally share any juicy gossip with her husband.

As a result, Captain Huang learned some things about Li Haisheng and Song Liyun, and he had seen them together in the fields before.

However, Captain Huang was very perceptive and immediately saw that Song Liyun was stringing Li Haisheng along. But since there was no evidence, Captain Huang didn't step in to be the bad guy and confront the two of them.

I never expected such a big thing to happen today.

Captain Huang: "Song, what's going on between you, Zhou, and Li Haisheng?"

Song Liyun stammered and couldn't say anything.

She could say that in order to do less work, she seduced Zhou Likang in the educated youth compound and had him do the work for her there.

Did she hook up with Li Haisheng in the team, get him to help her with the work in the fields, and bring her some food along the way?

Definitely not.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Liyun quickly thought of a solution, while inwardly grumbling about Li Haisheng's ugly but beautiful thoughts, not knowing his own limitations, and thinking that a rotten toad trying to eat swan meat, not even afraid of falling to his death.
