Lin Yu returned to the brigade early, around 2 p.m., and everyone gathered around her as soon as they saw her.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Lin Yu was a little puzzled.
It was Lin Yuan, who arrived later, who said, "They all thought you had gone back to Haicheng."
Everyone knows that Lin Yu originally grew up in Haicheng. So when they heard that she was going back to Haicheng, they assumed that she was going back and would never come back.
Although the Lin family explained that she would only be gone for a few days and would be back.
But Grandma Lin hadn't looked well lately, so they didn't quite believe what the Lin family said.
No matter how nice the countryside is, it can't compare to the city.
That's why they were so enthusiastic when Lin Yu returned.
It feels like something lost has been found again.
Lin Yu smiled helplessly and said, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm not leaving now. The food factory hasn't become a factory with a thousand employees yet, so why would I leave?"
"Besides, no matter how good Haicheng is, it doesn't have the same human touch as our brigade."
Everyone was relieved to hear her say that.
And everyone overlooked the fact that she also said "now".
Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow, a question mark forming in his mind.
Having finally escaped the crowd, Lin Yuan took Lin Yu home.
When Lin Yu got home, she first petted the two dogs, then looked around.
Just like a puppy patrolling its territory.
She wanted to see if there were any changes at home.
Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "The house is still the same. Stop looking at it and come tell me how Haicheng is."
Lin Yu turned around and took out the local specialties she had brought back.
"These are all from Haicheng. Try them. Haicheng is just so-so, nothing special."
She had lived in both the countryside and the city, and didn't think that big cities were anything special.
It's probably because she never makes herself unhappy, no matter where she is, so it doesn't matter where she goes.
Lin Yuan had been to Beicheng and agreed with her point of view; after all, big cities are just like that.
Aside from those from privileged families, the lives of ordinary people at the bottom of society are pretty much the same.
The elderly people in the village had never been to a big city, so they still retained a sense of mystery about it and thought that big cities were wonderful in every way.
They believed that once they went to a big city, they would never have to worry about food, drink, or clothing.
That's why I'm afraid Lin Yu will never return.
Grandma Lin had an extra layer of worry compared to them: Lin Yu grew up in Haicheng and had feelings for the place.
So even though Lin Yu said she would only be gone for a few days, she still didn't look too good during this time.
This led to the misunderstanding among the team members.
Lin Yuan asked his sister in a low voice, "What do you mean by saying we won't leave now?"
Lin Yu hadn't expected him to be so perceptive: "Never mind what I mean, let me tell you, I heard something during my trip to Haicheng."
Seeing her acting mysteriously, Lin Yuan quickly leaned in to listen.
Lin Yu then told him, "Someone told me that the college entrance examination will be reinstated in two years."
Since he had already noticed the loophole in Lin Yu's words, she simply pretended that she had found out from outside.
"Didn't you go to junior high school? Study hard, and you can take the exam when you have the chance."
Lin Yuan originally wanted to ask where she heard this, but after hearing what she said, he quickly shook his head: "No, no, I'm not taking the exam."
"I don't even want to go to high school, and you want me to take the college entrance exam? Forget it."
He's not a studious person; he'd rather not take the college entrance exam.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Lin Yu had no choice but to stop trying to persuade him.
After all, even if the college entrance examination is reinstated, it's not something you can just pass if you want to.
University acceptance rates are very low these days, so if you really don't like studying, you shouldn't waste your time.
While academic qualifications are important, abilities are equally important.
Lin Yuan is very capable in sales, and Lin Yu thinks that it's not a bad idea for him to continue down this path.
"Then forget it. You should learn more in your work. I bet many educated youth will leave if the college entrance examination is reinstated."
Lin Yuan then took it seriously: "That won't do. What will we do if they leave?"
Despite the fact that the people in the brigade previously looked down on the educated youth and thought they were a burden, they still managed to get things done.
But ever since the food factory was established, they have all realized the importance of educated youth.
The educated youth were all well-educated, cultured, and knew many characters.
They do many of the important tasks in the factory.
Lin Yuan couldn't imagine what would happen to the factory if they left.
Lin Yu patted him on the shoulder: "That's why I want you to study more. You've already gone to junior high school, so you're educated. You have to shoulder this responsibility."
Lin Yuan felt that his sister had placed several mountains on his shoulders.
This responsibility is too heavy.
"Can I really do it? But I can't do it alone."
Lin Yu nodded: "So I have a task for you. See if there are any promising young people in the brigade and get them involved."
Lin Yuan: "You want them to be able to replace the educated youth in the future?"
Lin Yu nodded: "Yes."
Lin Yuan seemed to be deep in thought. He could indeed think of a few promising young people in the team.
If all else fails, we can always train others; the point is to plan ahead.
Moreover, if it is indeed two years later as Lin Yu said, then this matter is truly urgent.
Two years is a very tight timeframe to train someone to be able to work independently.
Lin Yuan then asked Lin Yu, "What about Uncle Da Hui?"
Lin Yu told him, "Manqing will definitely leave by then. Do you think Uncle Dahui will follow her?"
Lin Yuan said confidently, "He will."
Anyone familiar with Li Dahui knows how much he loves his wife.
If Ou Manqing really leaves, he will definitely follow.
The team currently has three main sales representatives: Li Dahui, Lin Yuan, and Zhou Huanan.
At that time, the most likely person to remain is Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan understood, and also realized how heavy his responsibility was.
His expression gradually turned serious.
This food factory is the livelihood of the commune members, and absolutely no mistakes can be made.
The more he thought about it, the more pressure he felt.
Lin Yu encouraged him, "Don't worry, take it slow, I'm here for you."
Looking at Lin Yu's calm and composed demeanor, he was furious: "You've come back and already created problems for me."
Lin Yu said innocently, "I didn't. Wasn't it enough that I reminded you beforehand?"
Lin Yuan stood up and walked around in circles. After a while, he said, "How about we ask our older brother for help?"
Lin Shan has been working with Lin Aiguo on brigade affairs for years, and he will likely be the next brigade leader.
Lin Yu had initially thought of him, but wasn't sure if he would be willing.
In this family, Lin Yu was not very familiar with Lin Shan because he was already married and had his own family, so there were many things she couldn't say.
Lin Yuan, being his own brother, faced no obstacles whatsoever.
"Let me ask him."
He hoped his older brother could come. His older brother had strong leadership skills, and if he could come, Lin Yuan would feel much less pressure.
He had relied on his older brother since he was a child, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with relying on his older brother.
