Chapter 19 The Ye Family is in Trouble
When I returned to school from the machinery factory, it was just the time when the junior high school students were getting out of school.
Ye Qing suddenly remembered that the household registration booklet she had stolen from the Ye family was still in her bag.
Seeing the students swarming out of the school, Ye Qing's heart moved. He hurriedly stood not far from the school gate, staring at the flow of people, waiting for the twins who were in the first grade of junior high school to appear.
Soon, the brother and sister slowly staggered out of the teaching building.
However, it was not known whether the two had an argument or what, Ye Zhiyuan threw his schoolbag at Ye Xia's feet and ran out of the school angrily. Ye Qing wanted to call out to him, but he ran away before he could even open his mouth.
Ye Qing was too lazy to chase after her, so he simply shifted his target to Ye Xia.
Ye Xia picked up Ye Zhiyuan's schoolbag from the ground and walked out with a pouty look on her face.
"Little sister."
Ye Qing followed his original memory and pretended to be timid and moved forward.
"It's my second sister."
Seeing the person coming, Ye Xia curled her lips in disdain.
"Why are you here? You're not trying to curry favor with me and my younger brother so that we can speak well of you to our parents?"
"I'm telling you there's no way!"
"You have really offended your parents this time. They are very angry and have publicly stated that they no longer recognize you as their daughter and will not let you enter the house again!"
At this point, the little sister glanced at Ye Qing sideways.
"You haven't been home for a few days. Where have you been? Did you go out with some strange man?"
"Do you know that if you do this, my elder sister and I will be in trouble with you? Then people will think that all the girls in our Ye family are as shameless as you!"
Ye Qing's face darkened instantly.
If it wasn't for the need to make up for the loophole of stealing the household registration booklet, she would have been slapped in the face long ago!
A girl's reputation is so important these days. This little girl is only thirteen years old, but she already knows how to smear pornographic rumors. She has such a sharp tongue. She has perfectly inherited the "good genes" of the Ye family!
No matter what, the original body was Ye Xia's biological sister, and the ones she had taken care of the most over the years were actually the twins. She took care of them in almost every aspect from their school to their daily life. However, she did not expect that her caring and thoughtfulness would be rewarded with the twins' ruthless ridicule and contempt.
Now Ye Xia is so disrespectful to her original body. She wants to ruin the rhythm of her second sister as soon as she opens her mouth. She is so heartless!
Ye Qing finally understood clearly that, apart from the original self, there was not a single good person in the Ye family from the old to the young!
This way, Ye Qing no longer has any psychological burden.
Since they are all bad seeds, just get rid of them all at once.
The Ye family is about to be in big trouble. Once something happens to the adults in the family, this pair of underage twin siblings will be without the protection of their adults and will definitely not have a good ending!
Ye Qing sneered in his heart, but he pretended to be terrified and waved his hands repeatedly:
"No, I didn't fool around with any weird guys, little sister, please don't talk nonsense."
"The Revolutionary Committee required us to show our household registration booklet to get a ticket to the countryside, so I brought my household registration booklet with me, but I was afraid that my parents would scold me when I got back, so you should take the household registration booklet back."
"Don't tell my parents about this. When my second sister goes to the countryside, she will pick some wild fruits in the mountains and dry them to preserves. Then, I will secretly send them to you. Is that okay?"
When Ye Xia heard Ye Qing say that he could send something to her, a glimmer of greed suddenly appeared in her eyes.
After all, she was still young and did not realize that Ye Qing took the household registration booklet to do something secretly. She thought that Ye Qing was really afraid of being scolded by his parents.
Thinking that returning the household registration booklet was not a big deal, she rolled her eyes and pretended to be reluctant:
"Who knows whether what you said about sending me something is true or not? If you want me to do something for you, you should at least give me some visible benefits, right? I see your bag is bulging, let me see what's in it!"
Having said that, Ye Xia came over and rummaged through Ye Qing's bag without saying a word.
Ye Qing is not her original body. She has wood-related supernatural powers. Now not only her five senses have become stronger, but her skills have also become much more agile.
With Ye Xia's small body, it would be impossible for her to launch a sneak attack. Ye Qing dodged easily and was unable to touch even the corner of her clothes.
What a joke! Her bag still contained the apples and pears that Old Man Wu gave her. What would happen if Ye Xia saw them? If she didn't want to take them away, this brat would never let it go.
Although Ye Qing is not afraid of Ye Xia, this is the critical period for her to deal with the Ye family. She must not allow any complications to occur. Otherwise, if she arouses the Ye family's vigilance, her previous plans may be ruined.
So Ye Qing took a few steps back, thought for a while, and took out a crumpled bill from his pocket:
"This is all the money I have. It's from when I was on duty. If you can bring the household registration book back for me, I'll give it to you. Otherwise, forget it. I'll just take it back myself. The worst that can happen is that I'll get scolded a few times. Anyway, I've been scolded a lot over the years, so a few more won't make a difference."
As he said this, Ye Qing was about to take back the money and the household registration booklet.
Seeing the one-cent note in Ye Qing's hand, how could Ye Xia let her take it back? She quickly snatched the money and the household registration booklet and quickly put them in her schoolbag.
"Alright, alright, why are you being so stingy? I didn't say I wouldn't bring it to you."
Ye Xia’s eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.
Ye Qing was too impatient to deal with this little gangster girl. She gave the things to her and turned around to leave, otherwise she was afraid that she would not be able to control herself and beat her up.
At this time, Ye Qing didn't know that the situation in the Ye family was in chaos today because of the two letters of accusation she had submitted!
Early in the morning of that day, the first thing the duty officer of the Ningzhou Sub-district Revolutionary Committee did when he arrived at his post was to open the newspaper box at the door for a routine inspection.
When I opened it, I saw an anonymous letter inside.
The Revolutionary Committee had received countless anonymous letters of denunciation in recent years, but most of them were trivial neighborhood disputes that the duty officer had long been accustomed to.
So he didn't take the letter seriously and just tore it open carelessly.
As a result, when he took out the letter and took a look at it, his face changed instantly.
If it is just collecting banned books, then it is nothing. We can catch the person, criticize him severely, and put him in jail for a period of time. If the family members pay a fine, they can take the person back.
But if this involves damaging great publications, that would be a big deal!
Does anyone know whether there are any reactionaries or spies involved here?
This is a serious case and we must be highly vigilant and take it seriously!
The officer on duty, who had been feeling a little sleepy in the morning, immediately became energetic after reading the letter, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"Boss, hurry up, it's time to work!"
In the tube-shaped building on Yantang Old Street, the Ye family was awakened in the morning by the sounds of Ye's mother pounding and swearing in the kitchen, and then everyone gathered around the table to eat another tasteless breakfast.
At this time, the family finally remembered Ye Qing's kindness and they all missed the breakfast Ye Qing made.
It is really hard to describe Ye's mother's cooking skills.
She couldn't get up at four or five in the morning like Ye Qing did, and always hurriedly make breakfast at almost seven o'clock, so she naturally just muddled things around as best she could.
So after eating breakfast that tasted like pig food for a few days, even Ye's father couldn't stand it anymore.
He complained about Ye's mother in great dissatisfaction:
"Are you still okay? You don't have to go to work now. You have nothing to do at home every day. Can't you get up earlier and make this meal? Look at this. Is this food for human consumption?"
Ye's mother was about to retort, but unexpectedly, several children joined in:
"That's right, Mom. If you keep doing this, I won't eat breakfast at home anymore. I might as well go to the state-owned hotel and buy two buns to eat on the way!"
"The ones Ye Qing made before were delicious. Just make them the way she made them. Don't do these fancy tricks!"
This made Ye's mother very angry. She didn't dare to confront Ye's father, but she didn't care about her children:
"That damn girl Ye Qing made it delicious, so go ask her to make it! Even food can't stop your mouths, eat if you want, eat or not, get out!"
So this breakfast ended in a bad mood. The whole family went to work, class, or date, all leaving home with a lot of resentment in their hearts.
Ye's mother was also in a bad mood. She had been busy since early morning without taking a breath, but in the end she didn't get a single good word from her husband and children. This made her feel very aggrieved and angry. She had no place to vent her anger, so she started to hate Ye Qing again.
So she started to curse Ye Qing at home again.
Who knew that when he was scolding, there was a knock on the door.
Mother Ye didn't think much about it. She ran to open the door and shouted, "Who is it?"
As soon as the door opened, several people with red armbands were standing outside.
Nowadays, everyone gets scared when seeing a red armband, and Ye's mother is no exception.
Her heart tightened, and her originally ugly face was instantly filled with a smile:
"Comrade, what can I do for you?"
Several people wearing red armbands looked serious. They pushed Ye's mother aside and swarmed into the house, looking around the house cautiously.
"We have received a report that someone in your home is hiding prohibited items. We are now investigating your home. Please do not interfere with or hinder our search for evidence, otherwise it will be of no benefit to you!"
As they spoke, several men with red armbands violently kicked open the doors of the bedrooms, rummaged through the house, and violently searched for evidence.
Ye's mother was stunned by this sudden situation and it took her several tens of seconds to react.
She turned pale with fear and cried out anxiously:
"Are you mistaken? Comrade, we are all good citizens who abide by the law. We definitely don't hide any prohibited items as you said. Someone must be slandering us. You can't accuse good people——"
Ye's mother was there crying and shouting that she was wronged.
As a result, before he could finish his words, he heard a cry of "Found it" from the other side.
Then, a man with a red armband rushed out from the room of the Ye brothers, holding a book with a red cover and handed it to the leader of the team.
"Look, we really found it. The book looks like a red-protected book on the outside, but inside it is actually a handwritten copy of pornographic books! This family is too arrogant to destroy the publications of great people!"
Ye's mother's crying suddenly stopped.
She looked at the book with shock and fear, and the next moment her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.
The red armband doesn't care whether Ye's mother is dizzy or not.
This fake Red Protection Book was actually sandwiched between a pile of textbooks. Ye Zhigao's name was clearly written on those textbooks, indicating that the owner of this book was the eldest son of this family!
The evidence is solid, so naturally, no one can make excuses!
The tube-shaped building is a fashionable building these days, and most city dwellers are proud to live in a tube-shaped building.
But there is one bad thing about this house. That is, there are more than ten households living on one floor, and every household uses the same corridor to get around. There is no privacy at all.
As a result, the Ye family made such a big noise that the neighbors immediately came over to watch the excitement.
Now seeing that the Ye family had discovered such horrifying contraband, the neighbors were suddenly shocked.
"Hand-copied a banned book, Ye Zhigao is too bold!"
"I really can't believe this guy is this kind of person?"
"He even destroyed a great man's publication. This is a serious crime! This kid really doesn't know his place!"
"This young man has no idea of the seriousness of the matter. The Ye family doesn't know how to educate their children, yet they dare to do such a thing!"
"After this incident, Ye Zhigao is finished!"
Some people who usually don't get along well with the Ye family were secretly delighted to see the Ye family suffer. They hid in the crowd and shouted loudly to the red armbands:
"Her son just took her job at the soap factory!"
After a few red armbands looked at each other, they immediately arranged two people to go to the soap factory to arrest people.
After those people with red armbands withdrew, some people noticed Ye's mother who had fainted on the ground.
Such a big thing happened to the Ye family, everyone was pointing fingers and talking about it, most of them were either taking pleasure in the misfortune or taking advantage of the situation, but there were still kind-hearted neighbors who went forward to check on Ye's mother, patted her on the back and pinched her Ren Zhong, and after a while, they finally woke her up.
When Ye's mother woke up, she saw the mess in the house and heard from the neighbors that those red armbands had gone to the soap factory to capture Ye Zhigao. Suddenly, her mind went blank and tears came to her eyes. She had no idea what to do.
"Hurry up and find your old Ye. This is no small matter. If the person is arrested, it will be difficult for him to get out safely! Isn't your daughter in love with the son of the director of the street office? Hurry up and let your daughter find your future son-in-law for help!"
A neighbor saw this and couldn't help but remind them.
After this reminder, Ye's mother came to her senses, and immediately got up and ran out.
It was just a coincidence that when she ran downstairs, she saw Ye Hong walking back from outside with a pale and distraught look on her face.
But Ye's mother had no time to care about her eldest daughter's situation. Whenever she thought about her eldest son being arrested by the Revolutionary Committee, she panicked and her mouth started firing like a machine gun:
"Hong, something happened at home. Zhigao did something wrong and hid banned books at home. Someone found out! Go find your target and ask Director Wang for help. Don't let your brother get arrested!"
"I have to go to the silk reeling factory to find your father and see if he can find someone to go to the Revolutionary Committee to plead for mercy!"
Having said that, without waiting for Ye Hong to respond, Ye's mother walked past her eldest daughter and ran towards the silk reeling factory.
Ye Hong's face was as pale as a walking corpse at this moment. She was holding a few pages of paper in her hands and was completely immersed in her own emotions. She didn't hear clearly what Ye's mother said.
She went to find Hu Jiadong excitedly early in the morning.
The food at home was so bad that she couldn't even eat a few bites.
So she planned to invite her boyfriend to eat at a state-owned hotel, where she wouldn't have to pay.
But who knew that when she arrived at Hu's house and was about to knock on the door, Hu Jiadong had already walked out of the house with bloodshot eyes, and stared at her expressionlessly.
The careless Ye Hong didn't notice Hu Jiadong's abnormality at all.
Or rather, ever since the two of them started dating, she had never cared about Hu Jiadong's mood or feelings.
In her subconscious, she went to Hu Jiadong to make compromises, so Hu Jiadong's feelings were not important at all. As long as he could provide for her and satisfy everything she wanted, that was enough.
So as soon as the others came out, she immediately went up to them, said coquettishly that she was going to the state-owned hotel to eat soy milk and fried dough sticks, and urged Hu Jiadong to hurry up.
Seeing this, Hu Jiadong twitched the corner of his mouth and his eyes turned cold.
Last night, after reading the diary his father gave him, he couldn't sleep the whole night. When he woke up in the morning, his face looked terrible. Even his next-door neighbor couldn't help but ask if he was sick.
But after seeing him, Ye Hong was as blind as if she were blind. She couldn't see how haggard his face was at all.
This is not surprising, as her liking for him was just pretend.
What she wanted was the family, connections and power behind the name Hu Jiadong. As for him as a person, she hated him from the bottom of her heart. How could she possibly sincerely observe these subtle changes in his body?
Only at this moment did Hu Jiadong truly and clearly realize what role he was playing in this relationship.
He just felt that all this was a naked fraud and humiliation. Ye Hong's diary was like a hard slap in the face, waking him up from his sweet dream.
"Who is Jiang Chengwei?" Hu Jiadong suddenly asked without any context.
Upon hearing this name, Ye Hong froze, and a flash of panic flashed across his eyes:
"What? Who did you just say?"
Hu Jiadong asked again: "Jiang Chengwei, who is it?"
Ye Hong's heart was beating wildly and her mind was racing.
Why did Hu Jiadong know this name, and why did he ask her about it? Could he have heard something from someone?
But no matter what Hu Jiadong heard, Ye Hong would never admit it. She immediately pretended to be enlightened and said:
"This name sounds familiar. It seems like he was a senior classmate of ours. Why are you asking me this all of a sudden? Do you know this person?"
Since asking this question, Hu Jiadong has been observing Ye Hong's reaction.
If Hu Jiadong had not read the diary, he would have been fooled by the superb and natural acting skills of the woman in front of him!
He was truly amazed by how quickly this woman managed her facial expressions and came up with a coping strategy in such a short period of time. Her quick reaction and careful thinking truly opened his eyes.
At this moment, Hu Jiadong finally understood what his father meant by what he said last night.
"This woman surnamed Ye is too scheming. You are no match for her. If a woman like her enters our home, she will scheme against our entire family until nothing is left!"
Hu Jiadong was terrified, and there was no longer any love in his eyes when he looked at Ye Hong. Instead, there was only fear and jealousy.
He knew that his father was right. He could not control such an ambitious and calculating woman!
Since you can't control it, you might as well stop the damage in time and stay away from it.
"Go away, and don't come to see me again. We are done!"
Hu Jiadong threw down a few words and was about to go into the house.
Ye Hong was stunned for a moment, and shouted subconsciously:
"Why? Why are you so crazy? Did someone tell you something? That person is deliberately slandering me. Hu Jiadong, can you use your own judgment? Why do you believe other people's nonsense?"
Hu Jiadong sneered: "I definitely don't believe what others say, but I believe what you say 100%!"
The next second, Ye Hong was hit in the face by several pieces of paper suddenly thrown by Hu Jiadong.
Ye Hong didn't understand what was going on, so she picked up the papers that had fallen at her feet.
After seeing the content and the handwriting clearly, the color on her face instantly faded away.
This is her diary, torn out from her notebook!
Ye Hong's head buzzed with anger, shame, and disbelief. She was about to explode.
She clutched the papers tightly, wanting to question Hu Jiadong why the diary she had hidden under her pillow at home ended up in Hu Jiadong's hands.
But when she looked up, what she saw were Hu Jiadong's inorganic eyes.
Just this one look made her heart chill. A chill rose from the soles of her feet and she subconsciously took a step back.
"If you want to cause trouble, I will definitely accompany you to the end! The few pages in your hand are just a small part. I don't mind at all pasting the rest of your diaries all over the alleys of Yantang Old Street!"
What Hu Jiadong said was truly murderous without leaving any trace.
Two people were in a good relationship but it suddenly fell through. Although this was not pleasant for the woman, it was certainly not a life-and-death situation.
But if her diaries were really posted, her reputation would be ruined and she would never be able to find a good husband in the future.
Hu Jiadong's move really hit Ye Hong's sore spot, making her extremely frightened and no longer daring to act rashly.
At this moment, Ye Hong didn't know that the person who was really troubled by her diary was not Hu Jiadong alone, but the entire Hu family behind him.
After all, anyone who knew that there was someone around them who wrote down their little secrets in a little notebook would probably be too nervous to sleep.
Ye Hong went home in a daze, clutching those pages of the diary. She didn't pay any attention to what her mother said. When she got home, she saw that her house was in a mess.
It was at this time that she came to her senses and asked her neighbors, only to find out that something had happened in her family and Ye Zhigao was about to be arrested.
Mother Ye didn't know that her eldest daughter had turned a deaf ear to all her warnings, and she didn't know that her eldest daughter had made enemies with the Hu family. She wanted to use the power of her future in-laws to help her eldest son, but this wishful thinking was doomed to fail.
She hurried to the silk reeling factory and called Ye's father out.
Once the matter was explained, Ye's father also became anxious.
He was just a small workshop team leader, who could he find to plead for mercy? After all, the only person the family could count on was the guy his daughter had just met!
Ye's father had no time to go to work, so he quickly took a leave and left. He had to take his eldest daughter with him and take some things to ask the Hu family for help!
Father Ye and Mother Ye hurriedly left the silk reeling factory, not noticing that as soon as they walked out of the door, they were greeted by a group of people wearing red armbands in the factory.
When the couple returned home and saw their eldest daughter sitting at home, Ye's mother rushed over anxiously:
"So, have you looked for Jiadong? What did he say? Can his father have a say with the Revolutionary Committee? If he can, you have to hurry and get your brother out. If things go on like this, your brother will definitely suffer in there!"
Mother Ye was so anxious that tears were about to fall again.
Ye Zhigao is the eldest son in the family. Ye's mother has invested the most effort and expectations in him. She has also planned to have this son to support her in her old age. So how could she watch her eldest son being ruined like this?
But she urged him so hard, and the next second Ye Hong raised her head, grabbed her clothes and cried loudly:
"That bastard Hu Jiadong dumped me!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue. After hearing them, Ye's mother's blood boiled and a mouthful of black blood spurted out of her throat. She fell straight back.
When Ye Xia returned home from school, the Ye family was already shrouded in a gloomy and depressing atmosphere.
Ye Zhigao was taken away by the Revolutionary Committee, Ye Hong's relationship failed, and Ye's mother suddenly suffered a stroke and lay weakly on the bed receiving an IV drip.
Father Ye was so overwhelmed by these successive incidents that he did not even go to work in the afternoon in order to take care of Mother Ye. He had no idea that a huge uproar had already been set off at the silk reeling factory.
The entire Ye family was in a gloomy mood, so naturally no one would pay attention to Ye Xia stuffing the household registration booklet into the master bedroom.
Ye Xia was secretly thankful in her heart that no one noticed it, lest her mother saw the household registration booklet and thought of her disobedient second sister, and then couldn't find Ye Qing as a vent to take her anger out on her.
At this time, no one in the Ye family could have imagined that this minor incident was just an appetizer. Bigger typhoons and tsunamis were still to come and would soon descend upon them.
Ye Qing didn't know for the time being that her report would begin to take effect so quickly.
She thought that after submitting the letter, there would be at least three or two days of waiting.
If she had known that the Ye family would be in trouble so soon, she would definitely have secretly gone to Yantang Old Street to see the excitement.
After handing over the household registration booklet, she did not dare to enter the school in front of Ye Xia, but wandered around in the alleys near the school. After making sure that Ye Xia was not secretly following her, she returned to the school.
After living at Song Chunhua's place for two days, she became familiar with the old security guard at the school. She greeted him and headed towards the faculty and staff dormitory.
But the old security guard called out to me:
"Hey, classmate, yes, it's you. You're going to look for Teacher Song, right? I just received her registered letter. Can you help me take it to her?"
Ye Qing didn't think too much about it. He nodded, took the letter from the old man and left.
As she walked, she subconsciously glanced at the letter in her hand.
There was an 8-cent stamp on the envelope, but there were a lot of postmarks on it. The sender column only had the words "Shanhe Farm" written on it, and nothing else could be seen.
Sent from the farm? Was it the relative in the countryside that Teacher Song mentioned before?
Ye Qing was a little puzzled, but she didn't think much about it. After all, this was Teacher Song's private matter, and she didn't have the hobby of prying into other people's privacy.
She took the letter to the dormitory and put it on the desk without reading it.
But what she didn't expect was that when Teacher Song returned to the dormitory after class and saw the letter on the table, his expression suddenly changed.
Ye Qing was stunned. For some unknown reason, an idea suddenly flashed through her mind.
This is not going to be—
Song Chunhua was very nervous about the letter and immediately took it in her hand. However, she glanced at Ye Qing who was standing in the room, hesitated for a moment, and finally did not dare to open the letter in front of Ye Qing.
Ye Qing still had some sense, and immediately took two aluminum lunch boxes and said with a smile:
"The cafeteria should be open for lunch. I'll go get the food and we'll eat at home. Someone gave us two pieces of delicious fruit today, which will be perfect for after-meal fruit. I'll cut some for you to taste later!"
Having said that, Ye Qing went out with interest.
After the food was brought back, Song Chunhua sat on the bed with red eyes, and it seemed that she had just cried.
Ye Qing had a better idea in his mind.
It looks like this letter was sent by the teacher's ex-husband.
Is Shanhe Farm the cowshed where the professor was sent to labor reform?
Ye Qing silently memorized the name and planned to go back to ask Chen Youde and the others to see if these old guys knew where the farm was.
Not daring to let the students notice her abnormality, Song Chunhua hurriedly washed her face and walked to the dining table with a smile.
Ye Qing also pretended not to notice anything and asked Song Chunhua to eat quickly. While eating, she told her about her fishing trip to Chunshenpu with a few old men today.
Of course, after a little artistic processing, the part about her catching a fish weighing over a thousand kilograms was omitted.
"Because the old lady I saved on the tram was the eldest sister of one of the uncles, they were very nice to me. They also told me that if I needed any books or materials for study after I went to the countryside, I could write to them and they would help me find them."
In order to divert Song Chunhua's attention, Ye Qing chattered for once, and even took out the apples and pears that she had tricked from Old Man Wu, and showed them to Song Chunhua like a treasure.
"Teacher, have you ever eaten these two fruits? This is the first time I've seen them. I don't even know what they are called. I feel like one of them looks a lot like the green apples sold in grocery stores, but this one is red. I don't know if it tastes good."
When Song Chunhua saw the fruit Ye Qing took out, she was stunned.
"These are red Fuji apples and snow pears. Both are fruits that are only found in the north. Red Fuji apples were introduced from Japan a few years ago. Perhaps the cultivation technology is not yet mature, so these two fruits are not available on the market yet. Only families with cadre treatment can get this kind of supplies."
Ye Qing's original intention was to divert Song Chunhua's attention and prevent Teacher Song from being immersed in the sadness of the past.
But for some reason, when Song Chunhua mentioned Red Fuji, her tone sounded a little nostalgic, and there was a flash of intense pain in her eyes.
Ye Qing immediately realized that she seemed to have messed up, and hurried to remedy the situation:
"Teacher, you don't like apples? Forget it, let's eat pears instead—"
Before she finished speaking, Song Chunhua laughed. She noticed Ye Qing's cautiousness and sighed helplessly:
"It's okay. I can do anything."
Ye Qing had no choice but to wash the two fruits, remove the cores, cut them into small pieces and bring them over.
She secretly hid the core inside, and later she would break it open and count how many seeds were inside.
Song Chunhua picked up an apple and put it in her mouth.
As soon as the familiar sweet taste touched her taste buds, she burst into tears.
"When I first met my husband, he gave me an apple like this. That was the first time I knew there were such sweet fruits in the world."
Ye Qing was filled with regret.
She felt that she had good intentions but ended up doing something bad. If she had known this would happen, she should not have been greedy for Old Man Wu's two fruits.
But what Ye Qing didn't expect was that after eating the apple, Song Chunhua suddenly stood up, walked straight to the bed, and pulled out a wooden box from under the bed.
Rummaging through the box, she soon found a notebook, and from the notebook's interlayer, she took out a photo.
Then he passed it to Ye Qing.
The black and white photo showed a young man in his twenties with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was wearing a graduation gown and a doctoral hat. He was a little thin, but his smile was very sunny and generous.
"His name is Han Yabo. He is a PhD student specializing in biological research. He has studied in Country D for many years. What he has always wanted to do is to bring new disciplines and new technologies back to China, because he believes that in the near future, this technology will be crucial to people's livelihood."
"So after returning to China after completing his studies, he resolutely joined a team of experts from the "three noes" group and began researching and exploring genetic engineering."
Ye Qing:!!!
My eyes are about to pop out!
Wait, what's it called? Han Yabo?!
She had seen this name in that sweet pet Jinliwen!
The heroine Yin Shuang's father, Yin Xiangdang, was a researcher in some unit. In the early 1960s, he joined a team to carry out research projects.
The entire team was like crossing a river by feeling the stones. After five or six years of hard work, they finally made some progress. However, at this time, Yin Xiangdang caught his wife having an affair with someone else.
Then, Li Rulan conspired with Yang Wenchang. The two of them somehow stole the research team's results and deliberately leaked the information.
Afterwards, Li Rulan secretly wrote a letter of denunciation, accusing Yin Xiangdang of colluding with enemy spies and leaking state secrets.
At that time, the movement had just started. There were rumors everywhere and everyone was calling for the killing of spies and reactionaries. When such a thing happened in the institute, the whole team was in trouble.
The Revolutionary Committee, adhering to the attitude of rather killing someone by mistake than letting them go, directly demoted all the researchers in the team who might have problems with their academic background or family relationships.
It can be said that the other experts in the team are all implicated by the heroine's father.
Among them was an expert named Han Yabo, who was said to be the soul of the entire team. Even when he was sent to the bullpen, he never forgot his biological genetic research.
It can be said that the reason why the heroine's father was able to get his sentence reduced and released from prison early was actually due to the research results of this expert.
However, this Korean expert was plagued by illness during those years of labor reform and ultimately did not survive the cold winter, nor did he receive redress.
Ye Qing was dumbfounded at this moment.
When she read the book that year, she just sighed that this expert was unlucky. Not only was he demoted because of the heroine's father, but he also died in a labor camp. All the research results he had worked so hard to produce went to the heroine's father, allowing the Yin Xiang Party to take off directly by stepping on his academic achievements.
But Ye Qing never imagined that this world could be so small. The expert who died young in the book turned out to be Teacher Song’s husband!
Ye Qing raised his head suddenly and asked Song Chunhua:
"Shanhe Farm, is it in Mohe?"
Song Chunhua was stunned. Although she didn't know why Ye Qing asked this, she still nodded.
Ye Qing's heart sank suddenly.
Sure enough, she guessed correctly, the Korean expert in the book was undoubtedly Teacher Song’s husband!
And she also knew why Song Chunhua lost control of her emotions after reading the letter sent from the farm.
Because if she remembered correctly, at this time, Han Yabo seemed to have fallen ill due to a relapse of his old illness, and due to his serious condition, he was on the verge of death.
The farm probably thought that Han Yabo would not survive this disaster, so they quickly sent a message to Song Chunhua.
Although Han Yabo managed to survive in the end, the disease still took away his health, and his condition deteriorated. He dragged his broken body to hold on for a few more years, until the light ran out of oil, and finally he achieved the results of his project, and then he left this world with peace of mind.
"He is a nerd. He doesn't care about anything except experimental research."
"When he returned to China, he was already 27 or 28 years old, and he had no intention of starting a family."
"He's not in a hurry, but the director of their institute is anxious and is racking his brains to find a partner for him."
"The time she went on a blind date with me, she was tricked by their director."
"He doesn't know how to coax a girl even after he cheated on her. He keeps talking about his research, DNA and the double helix. It makes me dizzy!"
"If the apple he gave me wasn't delicious, I wouldn't have dated him!"
Perhaps she finally found an audience, Song Chunhua seemed to open up and began to unconsciously tell Ye Qing about the past when she and her husband met and fell in love. As she recalled those sweet memories, she smiled with tears in her eyes.
At this moment, Ye Qing was finally able to confirm that Song Chunhua and her husband had a fake divorce due to the circumstances, and it was definitely not the couple's separation as rumored.
It was also at this moment that the stereotype of the head teacher who was serious and ascetic in Yuanxin's mind was completely torn to pieces. Ye Qing saw the shy and fragile side of Song Chunhua's little daughter, a side that would only be revealed naturally when she talked about her husband.
Ye Qing felt sad and upset. She really wanted to say something to comfort Song Chunhua, but when she thought about the professor's failed ending, she found that she couldn't open her mouth at all.
