Before Jiang Yan boarded the train, he sent a telegram to the Bao family, telling them the time of arrival.

Of course, it is common for trains to be late in this day and age, so it is impossible for them to be completely on time.

After receiving the telegram, the Bao family became even busier. The entire Victory Brigade knew that Jiang Yan was coming back to see Bao Shengli.

"The last time the educated youth Xiao Jiang came back, we didn't see him, did we?"

"It's cold, and I'm here to treat the captain, so I'm busy."

"Hey, I heard Xu Laonian and the others saw it and even said hello."

The weather is still a bit cold at this time, but the villagers have already begun preparing for spring ploughing.

The signs of the household contract responsibility system have already emerged, but it is still a few years away from its official implementation, and now the members are still working for the collective.

Spring ploughing is approaching, and everyone is turning the soil, burning straw and making fertilizer.

"What does it matter whether she sees it or not? She is not from our team." The person who spoke was Zhang Chunhua. She and Liu Dafu had plotted against Jiang Yan in the past.

Later, they were frightened by Jiang Yan's beating, and they became well-behaved. However, they hadn't seen each other for a few years, and the fear they had when they were dominated by Jiang Yan at the beginning had faded a lot. They didn't dare to jump around, but at least they would say a few sour words to annoy her.

"Zhang Chunhua, I see that you just don't remember eating or being beaten."

"What do you mean?" Zhang Chunhua glared at him, looking like she was ready to fight.

"What I mean is, if it weren't for the educated youth Xiao Jiang, would our brigade have been able to live the good life we ​​have now? When we had no food to eat, you didn't even think about who lent us money to build fish ponds and make money by selling fish. Over the years, who in the whole county doesn't envy our Shengli Brigade? Even the forest farm gives us a quota every year to let the young people in the village work in the forest farm because we have fish."

"Ignorant wolf."

"that is!"

If we say that in the beginning, everyone still didn't quite understand what Jiang Yan did and their attitudes towards her were mixed, then after the fish pond started to make a profit and every household received real money benefits, their attitudes towards Jiang Yan changed a lot.

In that era when people relied on work points to survive and could not earn much money after working for a whole year, Jiang Yan led everyone to raise fish and live a good life.

Every household continues to grow crops, and when they distribute the money from selling fish at the end of the year, they hold real money in their hands.

Who can still say a bad word about Jiang Yan?

So much so that Zhang Chunhua has become the target of villagers' criticism even before she has said anything unpleasant.

"She only remembers to eat but not to be beaten. I shouldn't have let her family raise fish in the first place."

"That's right, what kind of person is that! Liu Dafu was the one who was led astray by her. They are the same."

"Bah! You ungrateful bastard."

"But the grass is still good, and it's standing up now."

As he was speaking, Ji Xiaocao came over.

Zhang Chunqiu immediately smiled.

Ji Xiaocao is the one who drank pesticide because he couldn't bear the bullying anymore.

Ever since Liu Dafu was bitten by a snake and became a disabled person, Ji Xiaocao has lived a life that is completely different from before.

She is capable and bold. When Liu Dafu wanted to fight with her, she swung her sickle and chopped him fiercely.

Ji Xiaocao's timidity was broken by Jiang Yan's words. She said, "It's no big deal. One life for another. Even tigers take naps. When you fall asleep, I dare not chop off your head with a knife. If you don't sleep, can you not eat? After a packet of rat poison is taken, the whole family will be on the road. No one will survive."

Her cruelty finally made Liu Dafu and Zhang Chunhua realize the reality. They never dared to bully Ji Xiaocao and her three daughters again. Although the family lived together in name only, fortunately, they lived in peace.

Liu Dafu is a useless man. Who else can want him except Ji Xiaocao? He used to think that he had to give birth to a son, but now he doesn't have this fantasy anymore. A daughter is fine. After all, she is his own child. How can he ignore her in the future?

Zhang Chunhua was also afraid of death and without her son's support, she did not dare to show displeasure to Ji Xiaocao and spoke much more pleasantly than before.

Ji Xiaocao ignored her and asked other villagers about Jiang Yan's coming.

"Jiang Zhiqing is coming back?"

"Yes, the Bao family has admitted it. They are here to see the captain. Young educated youth Jiang is really amazing. He can treat diseases that the county hospital can't. I think the captain is a good man and full of energy!"

"Who said it wasn't? I didn't expect she had this skill."

An old lady was unhappy and said loudly: "You are all young, but why do you have such a bad memory? Have you forgotten? Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, saved Xiao Bao on the first day he arrived. At that time, Xiao Bao was drowning and was not even breathing. If Xiao Jiang hadn't helped, Xiao Bao would have already..."

She didn't say anything else, but everyone knew that if it weren't for Jiang Yan, Xiaobao would have died long ago.

"Yes, I almost forgot about it."

"Xiao Jiang Zhiqing is amazing. She also cured Chang Zhiqing's heart disease!"

After talking for a long time, there is a lot to say.

Ji Xiaocao listened silently at the side, and her heart couldn't help but jump for joy.

Great, the educated youth Xiao Jiang is coming!

At this time, on the train, Jiang Yan and Si Lu had already settled everyone down.

The two elders of the Jiang family and Jiang Chuanjun live next door. The two elders live in the lower bunk and Jiang Chuanjun lives in the middle bunk. He is young and has no problem taking care of the two elders.

Li Yuejin and Ning Yu also lived in the lower bunk, Jiang Yan and Si Lu lived in the middle bunk, and the two children were assigned to Ning Yu and Li Yuejin. Fortunately, the two little guys were very well behaved. They were very curious about riding on the train and spent most of their time looking here and touching there.

Ning Yu was very cautious, fearing that she would run into human traffickers, so she discussed with Li Yuejin to put the child inside, and hang two small bells on the child's body when he/she slept at night, so that they would wake up when the child moved.

"Mom, there's no need. Yanyan and I are here!" Si Lu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With the two of them around, who could take the child away?

"Be careful." Li Yuejin also agreed with Ning Yu's idea. Since he had brought the bell anyway, it would be a waste to use it.

The two had no choice but to let them go.

Fortunately, this is a sleeper car. Although it is not as advanced as a soft sleeper, there are fewer people moving around, so safety is greatly improved.

The food and accommodation in the car were not very comfortable, especially with two little kids to take care of.

But fortunately, there are many of them and they can take turns to take care of the children, which makes things a lot easier.

Chao Chao and Mu Mu are both very easy kids to take care of. They can play for half a day just looking at the scenery outside the window. They sleep after eating. If they are really bored, they can take out a bunch of broken toys and play with them for half a day.

Jiang Yan also brought a few picture books and read stories to them when she had nothing to do. The two little ones listened with great interest.

As usual, I have to drink milk powder before going to bed at night.

Si Lu always goes to the space to make some water. The water on the train is okay for adults to drink, but the two little ones still have to force themselves to drink it.

The woman living on the upper bunk leaned over to look again and let out a cry, which scared the others.
