She glanced at the house with the broken roof. After the house was repaired, she moved out of the dormitory and started cooking separately from the other educated youth.
Then she would call Xue Yanchen over and cook him a bunch of delicious food to reward him.
In the afternoon, the siblings went to the Qianjin Brigade again.
Luo Jingyan didn't go to see Xue Yanchen this time; she didn't want to trouble him too much.
She brought Luo Changtian to the brigade headquarters again, and sure enough, the letter from the commune worked; the branch secretary approved it immediately.
Luo Jingyan took out the box of Daqianmen cigarettes from yesterday again and placed it on the table in front of the Party Secretary.
"Uncle, this pack of cigarettes has nothing to do with what we're talking about. It's just a small token of my appreciation."
If Luo Changtian attends school here in the future, he will receive some preferential treatment.
Because of the commune's letter of introduction, the Party branch secretary didn't refuse this time and put the cigarette in his pocket.
The Party Secretary took them to the school and arranged for Luo Changtian to be in the fifth grade, where he will take a small exam next year. He was told to come to school in three days.
On the way back, there was a stretch of road that was only fifty meters away from the educated youth settlement of the Qianjin Brigade. Luo Jingyan thought for a moment and decided to go over and say hello to Xue Yanchen, and also to thank him for his help this time.
"Xiao Tian, now that we're here, let's go see Brother Xue."
“Okay, sister, I also want to meet Brother Xue.”
When they arrived at the educated youth settlement, Luo Changtian went to the boys' dormitory to look for Xue Yanchen, only to find that Xue Yanchen was not there.
Just as he stepped out, he ran into Lai Chuncao, who was also looking for Xue Yanchen.
Lai Chuncao wanted to use the pretext of investigating enemy agents to gain an opportunity to contact Xue Yanchen and learn more about him.
When she saw Luo Jingyan arrive, her expression immediately darkened, and she questioned Luo Jingyan, "What are you doing here?" Could it be related to Xue Yanchen?
Luo Jingyan rolled her eyes at her: "This isn't your home, yet you're being so nosy."
She ignored Lai Chuncao and left with Luo Changtian.
Lai Chuncao entered the educated youth settlement and learned that Xue Yanchen was indeed an educated youth there, but she did not see Xue Yanchen in person and could only go home disappointed.
When Luo Jingyan and Luo Changtian were on their way home, they had to pass by the foot of the mountain. Luo Changtian thought of the richness of the mountains and couldn't resist the urge to go.
"Sis, can we go play in the mountains for a while?" He casually pulled out a slingshot from his pocket.
Luo Jingyan rolled her eyes at him: "You dare to bring this thing to school for registration today?"
"Sis, I'll put it in my pocket so no one can see it."
"You're not allowed to take them to school anymore."
"I know, but I haven't started school yet, have I?"
"Okay, let's go for a walk in the mountains."
They unknowingly wandered back to the chestnut tree they had visited before, where a few chestnuts were still scattered about. Luo Changtian simply thought it would be fun to shoot the chestnuts with a slingshot, so he shot down a few more. But when he couldn't hit any more, he gave up.
Luo Jingyan smashed the chestnut shell with a stone, peeled out the kernel, and put it into Luo Changtian's pocket.
After walking a while longer, they arrived at the place where Luo Jingyan had previously dug ginseng.
Luo Jingyan enjoyed collecting treasures like ginseng, so she used her consciousness to ask the black tiger in her spatial dimension: "Tiger, are there any treasures around here?"
Black Tiger is sleeping in the space. These days, its owner has been busy and hasn't had time to pay attention to it, so it's bored and just sleeps in the space.
Upon hearing its owner's call, it immediately woke up and pricked up its ears.
A delirious voice: "Master, I just woke up. What did you say?"
I want to ask you, are there any other treasures around here?
Black Tiger immediately focused its mental energy on finding treasure for its master.
【Master, walk 18 meters south.】
Following its instructions, Luo Jingyan walked about eighteen meters south.
【Master, move three meters south.】
【good. 】
She hadn't been able to estimate the distance before, and it was so much different.
Luo Jingyan walked about three meters more.
[Master, walk five meters further east, and I'll tell you when to stop.]
The kitten was furious; if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't go outside, it would have pointed out where the baby was right away.
【good. 】
Luo Jingyan walked about five meters eastward, then moved slowly with small steps, waiting for Black Tiger to call her to stop.
Luo Changtian searched everywhere for any prey he could hunt, completely unaware of anything unusual about Luo Jingyan.
Even if he paid attention, he could only see it as Luo Jingyan taking a casual stroll.
Finally, the cat in the space called for a halt.
Luo Jingyan then stood still.
Black Tiger, the baby isn't under my feet, is it?
Yes, master, it's right at your feet.
Luo Jingyan lifted her foot and looked down; it was covered with a layer of withered yellow leaves.
[Black Tiger, is the baby down there?]
Yes, Master. Dig a little.
Luo Jingyan scraped away the thick layer of fallen leaves, revealing a layer of pebbles underneath. After digging through the pebbles, she finally saw a badge with the image of a great man. Luo Jingyan picked up the badge.
This was the first time she had ever held a badge with the image of a great man in her hands. It felt heavy and substantial.
Luo Changtian walked over when he saw her digging something.
"Sis, did you dig up that badge here?"
"Yes, I saw it just now, only a little bit of it was showing."
Luo Changtian took the badge and looked at it. "Hey, sis, this badge is really heavy, heavier than usual. Didn't you notice?"
He turned the badge over and looked at it, and found that the back was not completely concave, but covered with a metal cap.
"No wonder it's so heavy, there's another layer on the back."
