Lin Laosan waited and waited at the station but couldn't see Shi Yan. He began to feel uneasy, fearing that Shi Yan had been arrested, which would be a serious crime for him.
Just when Lin Laosan was about to go out and look for someone, a tall and straight figure finally appeared.
He ran up excitedly and held Shi Yan's shoulders.
"Brother Yan, you're finally back. I was so worried about you. What took you so long? I thought you were discovered."
"Alas, I was originally planning to wait for you at the street corner, but you know what? Someone was following me, so I didn't dare to stay there and had to leave first."
"Humph, that guy thought he was hiding well, but he didn't even realize who I am, Lin Lao San. All those little tricks he used were left over from my childhood, they can't escape my sharp eyes!"
“…”
Lin Laosan was chattering non-stop, and Shi Yan didn't know how to respond to him. In the end, he just kept quiet and didn't even bother to ask about the inexplicable name he was given.
Only after Lin Lao San finally finished speaking did Shi Yan react and remain silent.
"Brother Yan, why are you ignoring me?"
Shi Yan was speechless for a rare moment.
"Which one do you want me to answer first?"
Lin Laosan finally realized that he had just made a fool of himself, and laughed awkwardly. But after a while, he put his arm around Shi Yan's shoulders and solemnly promised:
"Brother Yan, you saved me twice today. I can't thank you enough for this great favor. I'll remember it all in my heart. From now on, you are my brother, my dear brother. From now on, your business will be my business. Just tell me what you want. I can handle anything, even if it means going through fire and water."
"That's not the case. We're all from the same brigade. It's just a small favor. Comrade Lin, don't take it to heart."
Shi Yan answered while calmly breaking free from Lin Laosan's arm. He was really not used to physical contact with others.
"How can that be? I, Lin Lao San, may not have any other advantages, but I am the most grateful and repaying."
As she spoke, she held Shi Yan's hand even tighter.
Shi Yan: “…”
One of them kept talking while the other listened silently, and they rode back like this.
At the same time, the minion who followed Lin Laosan also went back to report to Wei Feng.
When Wei Feng heard that a young man carrying a large green package had just met up with that man, he realized that this man was Shi Yan. It seemed that the two men knew each other.
Because the little minion from before was not there, he didn't know about Shi Yan's situation and continued to ask:
"Brother Wei, should we continue to keep an eye on that person?"
Wei Feng waved his hand.
"No need, that person should be fine."
…
Lin Laosan was unaware of what was happening in the county town, so he didn't know that Shi Yan had indirectly helped him again. Otherwise, he would definitely be targeted again the next time he entered the city.
After taking a bus all the way to the commune, the two had to walk back to the brigade.
On the way back, Shi Yan thought of what happened today and reminded him.
"Comrade Lin, the black market has been very strict these days, so it's best if you don't go there anymore."
When he went to the post office to pick up the package today, he took the opportunity to talk to his mother on the phone and learned that the situation in Beijing was tense.
Lin Laosan also nodded with lingering fear.
Even if Shi Yan didn't remind him, he didn't have the courage to go there again. Damn it, he almost pissed himself!
"Actually, today was my first time selling things at the black market. Who would have thought I'd be so unlucky? As soon as I walked in, I was chased by someone."
"By the way, I'll return those cloths to you."
As he spoke, Shi Yan took out the pieces of cloth from the package and handed them to Lin Lao San.
When Lin Laosan saw the cloths, he finally remembered that his mission to earn meat tickets today had failed, and he felt a little dejected for a moment.
Being used to Lin Lao San's chattering, Shi Yan was a little uncomfortable to see him like this. He rarely took the initiative to ask:
"What's wrong with you? Is it because you didn't sell it?"
Lin Laosan quickly shook his head.
"That has nothing to do with it."
But I can't let Shi Yan know that I'm treating him to a meal just to earn some money.
In fact, if these cloths had not to be returned to others, he would have wanted to give them directly to Shi Yan.
Afraid that Shi Yan would ask again, Lin Laosan quickly changed the subject.
"By the way, Brother Yan, I didn't see you this afternoon. Did you know that the scorekeeper position on the team is going to be vacant?"
Shi Yan really didn't know about this. He was planning to take a day off tomorrow to pick up the package.
But the team leader specially gave himself half a day off today, so he went straight to the county town after taking a shower. He even had lunch in the county town, so naturally he had no idea what had happened.
"Brother Yan, I think you graduated from high school, right? That's perfect, you can go and register then. I'll ask my dad to help you when I get back."
At this moment, he had completely forgotten that Lin Ran also wanted this job, and his mind was full of how to repay Shi Yan.
Shi Yan was very sober.
"This job can't be given to the educated youth. You can try to get it yourself."
He seemed to have heard that Lin Laosan was lazy at work all day, so he thought this job must be pretty good.
"I don't need it. If anyone wants to apply, it's my younger sister who will go. She wants to be a scorekeeper, uh..."
Oh my god, what did he just say? He actually forgot about his little sister and shamelessly asked his dad to help Shi Yan. If he didn't drown today, he would be killed by his parents later.
Shi Yan's eyes flashed with understanding, and he casually agreed.
"This job is indeed suitable for lesbians."
Lin Lao San was afraid that Shi Yan would misunderstand that Lin Weiguo wanted to use his power for personal gain, so he quickly explained:
"It's not that my sister wants to take over the scorekeeper's job, it's mainly because my parents have always loved her the most since she was a child and never let her do any work. In the first place, the family didn't expect her to earn work points."
"But my second sister-in-law can't stand my younger sister staying home all day, causing chaos in the family. My younger sister didn't want to embarrass my parents, so she went to work. But last time, she fainted in the field after working half a day."
"She really can't do the work. She wants to be a scorekeeper because she has no other choice. But now everyone knows the news. My dad, as the team leader, definitely won't help. I have to rely on my little sister to fight for it herself."
As he said this, he scratched his head a little embarrassedly. He really wanted to do something to help Shi Yan.
Now the scorer job is out of the question, but I still decided to go back in the evening and ask Lin Weiguo to help Shi Yan find a slightly easier job.
Shi Yan listened silently and had a better impression of Captain Lin Weiguo.
After all, he has met so many people, and there are many who favor sons over daughters, but it is rare to find someone who loves his daughter so much.
Moreover, as the team leader, Lin Weiguo always puts the interests of the team first and sets an example. However, after serving as the team leader for so many years, his family has not enjoyed any benefits. This is obvious to all the entire Tashan Brigade.
Take the matter of Lin Laosan being lazy, for example. If it were any other brigade, they would probably turn a blind eye to it for the sake of the brigade leader's face. But Lin Weiguo was different. He directly ordered that the work points that should be deducted should be deducted.
So he believed what Lin Laosan had just said, that Lin Weiguo would definitely not interfere in the matter of the scorer this time.
But none of this has anything to do with him; it doesn't matter what kind of work he does.
He just felt that having a sensible captain could save him a lot of trouble.
