Grandma Lin specially fried an egg for Lin Yi: "This is a reward for Xiao Yi; no one else gets one."
My grandson is so clever; he can even make farm tools!
Grandma Lin was overjoyed, thinking that this child was truly promising.
Lin Laosan protested, "Mother, this is my son. You should reward me with the fried egg. Without me, there would be no him."
Grandma Lin rolled her eyes: "Third son, don't be so shameless. You even want to take things from children."
Lin Laosan said seriously, "Mother, you can't say that. It's only natural for a son to be filial to his father."
"And the reason he was able to make the seedling planter was because he read my book..."
"Alright, alright, shut up. Anyway, you don't have any. The fried eggs belong to our Xiao Yi."
Grandma Lin's expression changed as she looked at Lin Yi: "Little Yi, eat up, don't mind your dad."
Lin Yi grinned, "Thank you, Grandma."
He stuffed the fried egg into his mouth and looked at his dad with a smug expression.
Lin Laosan glared at him: "You little brat, you think you're so great, huh?"
He really wanted to hit the child, but Grandma Lin slapped him back, saying, "Do you act like a father?"
Lin Laosan pouted, looking aggrieved: "Mother~"
"Don't give me that ugly look, it makes me want to punch you even more."
Lin Yu was laughing so hard she was going crazy. Her dad was such a funny guy from that era.
However, her younger brother is really great; he truly has the talent.
He can make a seedling planter by himself by learning from a few books; he's bound to be successful in the future.
So, as the older sister, wouldn't she just have to wait for her younger brother to support her?
It sounds wonderful...
After all, she was his mentor on his research path. When he becomes famous and appears on television, he can say, "I owe everything I have today to my sister..."
hey-hey.
Lin Yu's wishful thinking was far too much...
Lin Yi patted her: "Sis, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Yu snapped out of her daze and looked at the elementary school boy, not seeing anything like a big shot.
Oh well, let nature take its course.
As long as I don't grow up lame, that's all that matters.
"It's nothing, Xiao Yi. Just don't go up the mountain alone when you're out playing. Be careful not to fall and become a cripple."
Lin Yi nodded dismissively, still chewing on an egg: "Got it!"
How could he possibly go to the mountains alone?
They're not stupid.
His sister really has a tendency to overthink things.
But never mind, Lin Yi is a little man now, so he'll let his sister have her way.
After studying at home for so many days, Lin Yi couldn't wait to go out and play with his friends.
The next day, the uncle distributed the seedling planters to several experienced farmers, and Lin Yi, having accomplished his mission, left and ran off with a group of elementary school students.
The farmers who used the seedling planter were overjoyed at the end of the day.
They kept praising how useful this thing was.
After getting used to it, my efficiency improved a lot, and I wasn't as tired after a day's work.
Although it was something he had expected, Lin Aiguo was still very happy.
He recorded the data and went back to write the report.
In fact, Lin Aiguo's education level was not high. He grew up in a turbulent era and had no opportunity to study.
After liberation, the authorities launched literacy campaigns and opened literacy classes, which is how he learned to recognize and write characters.
He doesn't know many characters, but his writing is simple, neat, and clear.
The other girl, who went out for a walk to stretch her muscles and then stayed home to write, was different.
Having finished junior high school, she knows quite a few characters. In addition, she often reads books and newspapers, which has expanded her vocabulary. Now her writing is becoming more and more substantial.
Lin Yu was deeply moved after reading her article and immediately applauded.
"Girl, you wrote so well."
The girl blushed when praised: "Really?"
"Yes, really." Lin Yu immediately sealed her article in an envelope, intending to submit it for publication.
Da Niu didn't have high hopes for this, but she was happy to have gained Lin Yu's approval.

Meanwhile, Ou Manqing received a letter from her parents.
"My parents said they wanted to come and take a look."
Lin Yu: "Are you worried and want to come and see Uncle Dahui?"
Ou Manqing nodded: "Yes, they think getting married is too soon."
Lin Yu could understand Ou's parents; Ou Manqing had only been in the countryside for less than a year, yet he was already planning to get married.
Moreover, his marriage partner was a countryman.
No matter how well she speaks of the other person on the phone or in letters, they still can't feel at ease.
Furthermore, I heard that Yu Haiyang, who went to the countryside with her, got married to Zhang Lili.
Yu Haiyang and Ou Manqing originally had a verbal engagement.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou were worried that their daughter was being bullied, so they decided to come and check on her in person.
If we start from when the letter was sent, the Ou family parents should be almost here by now.
Ou Manqing informed the Li family, and Aunt Lin hurriedly consulted with Grandma Lin about preparing a feast to entertain her in-laws.
His son, Dahui, was a long-time bachelor, but now he's managed to find a wife who was a sent-down youth. Hearing that his in-laws are coming, Aunt Lin and her husband are quite nervous.
Li Dahui was equally nervous, but he was a reliable person and wouldn't panic.
He took a day off, went to the mountains, hunted pheasants and rabbits, and came back just waiting for his future in-laws to come over.
On the way to Qingshan Commune, Mr. and Mrs. Ou came from Guangcheng by bus.
Despite the long journey, the elderly couple were both physically fit and had endured many hardships, so the slightest bump in the road was no problem for them.
Upon arriving at Qingshan Commune, I thought I would have to walk or find an oxcart to reach Lianhua Brigade. However, as soon as I got off the cart, I saw a sign with the names of the two people on it.
The person holding the sign was a young man, tall and straight, like a soldier.
This person is Gu Yunze.
He's the only tractor driver in the team right now; the others haven't learned how to drive a tractor yet.
Lin Yu insisted on writing this sign, saying it would make it easier to recognize.
In fact, according to his eyesight, he could find the elderly couple Ou without needing any signs.
However, his partner was mischievous and thought it was fun, so he had no choice but to comply.
Mr. and Mrs. Ou felt a little embarrassed but very happy to receive such an unusual welcome as soon as they got out of the car.
Didn't you see so many people envying them? Can they ride in a tractor?
In this rural area, being able to ride a tractor is probably a very impressive thing.
Upon seeing these two, Gu Yunze could sense their shared background; they were probably both veterans. It seemed they were senior soldiers.
When Mr. Ou learned that he was an educated youth from the team who had been entrusted by Ou Manqing to pick them up, he felt much more at ease.
This kid looks like an upright person, and he even helped his daughter pick them up. I guess his daughter is doing quite well in the brigade.
Mother Ou was more concerned about Ou Manqing's partner, and asked Gu Yunze a lot about Li Dahui along the way.
She knew they were all working in the brigade's workshop office now. Mother Ou nodded inwardly; it sounded alright.
They don't require their child to marry someone from a wealthy family. As long as she likes him and they can live a good life together, they, as parents, are at ease.
...
"Dad! Mom!" Ou Manqing called out from afar as he saw the tractor approaching.
