Yun Qiao nodded heavily: "I will! I will do my best in the exam! I won't let you down!"

"I believe in your ability." Jiang Ling nodded with a smile: "Keep going."

With the personal promise from the company leader, Yun Qiao became more motivated to study.

At the chicken farm, several other educated youth learned that Yunqiao had the opportunity to take the health worker exam, and they took the initiative to take over most of the work, making Yunqiao's life much easier.

Yun Qiao brought his books to work every day, and after finishing his assigned work, he took out his books to read.

A few days later, Yun Qiao received his second month's salary after coming to Beidahuang.

In addition to the forty-one yuan and the monthly tickets, there was a five-yuan bonus for meritorious service and two additional industrial tickets.

The matter concerning spies was also resolved satisfactorily.

Yun Qiao didn't know the specific situation. After all, it was a state secret and needed to be kept strictly confidential.

Yun Qiao only knew that those spies failed to bring the country's intelligence out of the country. Except for two who were killed in the exchange of fire, the remaining spies were captured alive.

Because the educated youth of the Fifth Company were the first to discover and report the spy, the headquarters also sent a reward to the Fifth Company - a big fat pig weighing more than 300 pounds!

When the big fat pig was delivered, it had a big red ribbon tied around its body. Two reporters from the farm office also came with the team delivering the fat pig.

This is a good thing worth publicizing, and the field office will definitely publish a report to praise it.

So, under such circumstances, Yun Qiao and more than a dozen other new and old educated youth were photographed by a reporter from the field office using a domestic Seagull brand camera after arriving at the Beidahuang Production and Construction Corps, with the blue sky and white clouds of the Beidahuang as the background and fat pigs with big red shawls as the foreground.

It was early January 1969, and also the third month since Yun Qiao came to the Beidahuang Production and Construction Corps.

At the beginning of February, correspondent Lu Xun brought the latest issue of the field report from the field headquarters. Under the headline on the front page were the photos they took of this scene.

Lu Xun also brought a dozen photos with him, which were developed by reporters from the local newspaper according to the faces of the people in the photos, one photo per person, free of charge.

Yun Qiao also got one.

In the photo, she stood behind a 300-pound pig, her hands clasped on its belly, her lips pursed and a smile gazing forward. On the other side stood Zheng Wenjing, her arm around Yun Qiao's, her head tilted against his shoulder. Her smile was brilliant, a hint of naiveté evident on her pretty face.

"What? Why do you make me look so ugly in this photo? Was I smiling that wide? My teeth are showing. I look so stupid!"

Yun Qiao glanced at the photo of Zheng Wenjing. Although she looked a little silly, she was still pretty. "She's not ugly! Your smile is as bright as the sun! Very cute!"

"Really? But I think my smile is so silly!" Zheng Wenjing was increasingly dissatisfied with her performance after appearing in the newspaper for the first time. "You still look the best in the photo of Yun Qiao! If I had known earlier, I would have copied you! I thought you were too serious back then, but I didn't expect that standing straight and smiling with your teeth covered is the best look!"

"Ah! What on earth was I thinking?! Why was I tilting my head? Why was I grinning? I was standing there like an idiot..."

Zheng Wenjing said she was disgusted, but she still put the photo into an envelope and carefully placed it in a drawer, muttering, "Even though it's not very pretty, at least it's the first time it's been in the newspaper. When I take my home leave, I'll show it to my parents and make them proud."

Yun Qiao also put the photos away carefully.

This is the testimony of her youth in this life. When she takes it out and looks at it in her old age, it will surely be an unforgettable memory!
