“Brother Jinghe, look, these are my documents, as well as certificates issued by relevant units, proving that I have been conducting geological research in the country.”
Yin Jiaming took the initiative to tell Tang Jinghe: "I was working in the School of Geology when I was away. During the turmoil, my mentor had a geological research project in the west, which was a state secret mission. I was conducting geological research in Lop Nur, so I lost contact with my family."
"Now that the western project has come to an end, I'm going home to take a look. By the way, my colleagues from the provincial geological department invited me to do a geological monitoring study near Xiangyang Mountain."
"I'd like to say hello to you first. After the fifth and sixth days of the Chinese New Year, when some people from the county's Organization Department go to work, a comrade will come to the Xiangyang Brigade to contact me."
The documentary evidence and certificates Yin Jiaming produced all looked quite authentic.
It doesn't look fake.
Tang Jinghe was afraid that as a team leader he would be too isolated from the news, so to be on the safe side, he handed his ID to He Ting.
He Ting felt very strange.
But based on his experience, he could not see any signs of forged documents.
He Ting nodded slightly to Tang Jinghe, meaning that the materials proved that it might be true.
Seeing Tang Jinghe looking at his ID documents and asking the young man next to him for advice, this good-looking young man looked unfamiliar.
Yin Jiaming asked cautiously: "Brother Jinghe, is this your son-in-law?"
“That’s about right!”
Tang Jinghe returned the certificate to Yin Jiaming and looked at Lu Baiwei: "He is my Weiwei's man, my nephew's son-in-law, an educated youth from the capital."
Following Tang Jinghe's line of sight, Yin Jiaming saw Lu Baiwei sitting there looking at him with her meal in hand, and was stunned.
His eyes fell on Lu Baiwei, and he didn't even look away.
Tang Jinghe felt strange: "Yin Jiaming?"
"Oh, I think she looks like Sister Yuehe."
Yin Jiaming seemed to come back to his senses and asked Tang Jinghe, "She is Sister Yuehe's daughter, right?"
"Yes, it's Yuehe's daughter."
In Lu Jiaojiao's heart, Yin Jiaming is her real man.
Yin Jiaming stared at Lu Baiwei without blinking, which made her feel a sense of crisis.
She stood beside Yin Jiaming with her chest straight and a proud look on her face, and greeted Lu Baiwei: "Sister, are you going back to your parents' home tomorrow?"
Sure enough, when Lu Jiaojiao called Lu Baiwei "Sister", Yin Jiaming turned his head to look at Lu Jiaojiao.
That look seemed to be asking, so you are two sisters?
Even though Yin Jiaming had close contact with Lu Jiaojiao, he hadn't been back for a long time and couldn't figure out which family in the team his niece-in-law belonged to.
Knowing that Lu Baiwei didn't want to bother with Lu Jiaojiao, Tang Jinghe was speechless about the people who came to his house at dinner time on New Year's Day.
He tried to be polite: "Would you like to sit down and have some food?"
"OK!"
Lu Jiaojiao was drooling at the delicious food on the table and agreed without thinking.
Yin Jiaming was still sensible. He laughed it off and said, "It's not appropriate on the first day of the Lunar New Year."
"I just got home. My sister-in-law and nephew went to visit relatives. The rice jar at home was empty. There was not much food. The supply and marketing cooperative was not open during the New Year."
Yin Jiaming discussed with Tang Jinghe: "Brother Jinghe, can you do me a favor? Give me some rice, grain and vegetables, and I'll calculate the money."
If it was someone he knew, Tang Jinghe would definitely agree.
I always feel that Yin Jiaming’s sudden appearance is very strange.
He had to be on guard.
Don't let people accuse him of selling grain for profit as the team leader.
Tang Jinghe refused: "Yin Jiaming, you want me to make a principled mistake."
"Okay, since you just came back, I'll count it as a loan from you. I'll deduct it from Shen Guixiang and Yin Zhihe's work points later."
Yin Jiaming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "My sister-in-law and nephew didn't earn many work points, right? Otherwise, during the New Year, the rice jar at home would not be empty."
Yin Jiaming took out a pen from his pocket.
"How about this? I'll exchange it for this pen."
The pen that Yin Jiaming took out from his pocket was the most expensive model of the Hero brand. Only county and commune cadres would use pens that cost more than ten yuan each. Tang Yuanyang had asked about the price at a department store when he was shopping in the county. Even though he had earned dividends from hunting prey, he still couldn't bear to take out more than ten yuan to buy a pen.
Yin Jiaming's request was not high. He exchanged the pen for five days of food, which would last until the supply and marketing cooperative opened on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.
Then you have to exchange it for a cured fish and a piece of two or three pounds of cured meat at Yin's house.
The price of meat during the Chinese New Year was about 50 cents, and fish was even cheaper. Because the pond of the neighboring Hongqi Brigade was dried up during the Chinese New Year, Ye Hongmei helped to buy fish from her relatives, and it only cost 40 cents per pound.
A fish weighs no more than three pounds at most.
All in all, a Hero pen that costs a dozen yuan can only be exchanged for five days of food and a few pounds of meat. It is a very good deal.
After Lu Jiaojiao accompanied Yin Jiaming away, Tang Yuanyang kept looking at his father, who was staring at the shiny golden pen in his jacket pocket, with his eyes wide open.
"Brother, isn't it just a Hero brand pen? I'll give you one later."
Just when he was worrying about how to please his brother-in-law who taught in an elementary school, Zhou Yanfeng promised to get him a Hero brand fountain pen.
When Tang Jinghe heard this, he quit.
Not wanting to let his future son-in-law spend money, he took the pen out of his pocket and handed it to Tang Yuanyang unhappily.
"Forget it, I'll give you the pen. I'll just wear it to show off. I'm just a team leader, not even a rank-and-file official. I can't wear the same thing as a commune cadre."
"Okay then, let me use this one."
Tang Yuanyang got the advantage and still acted cute: "Wait until my brother-in-law buys a new Hero brand fountain pen, then I'll give it to you, Dad, to wear."
It has been said that she and Zhou Yanfeng were just pretending to be in a relationship.
Having been betrayed by his own second brother, Tang Yunling kicked him under the table.
"Who is your brother-in-law? Brother, what are you yelling about?"
"Why not my brother-in-law?"
My sister is so fierce, it's good for someone to deal with her.
Still being picky?
Tang Yuanyang was kicked so hard that he cried out in pain. He complained to Zhou Yanfeng, "Brother-in-law, my sister kicked me."
Zhou Yanfeng: “…”
Blushing!
What's up with feeling a little excited?
Zhou Yanfeng buried his head in his food, tacitly acknowledging his relationship with Tang Yunling.
Only Tang Yunling held on to that pitiful self-esteem, glaring at his family members who were trying to hold back their laughter.
Lu Jiaojiao bringing Yin Jiaming over was just a small episode, and everyone in the house burst into laughter while eating.
Lu Baiwei didn't laugh!
As a reborn person, she is still thinking about Yin Jiaming.
Knowing that it was his rebirth that changed the trajectory of his life, Yin Jiaming shouldn't have come back at this time.
Did he really go to Hong Kong to make his fortune after the reform?
This is not right either!
She remembered it clearly in her previous life. When Yin Jiaming found Yin Zhihe, he said in person that he had gone to Gangcheng since the turbulent period.
There is something fishy about this matter.
Are the evidence provided by Yin Jiaming and other geologists true?
After the New Year, when the county organization department goes to work, everything should be clear.
Before that, Yin Jiaming's appearance still needs to arouse vigilance.
