Chapter 136 Ashamed
Lin Guangsheng glanced at his daughter, who was chatting happily with Lin Yuqing and the other children, and said, "Speak, what is it?"
Lin Guangyi said helplessly with a headache, "The higher-ups said they want to add a few more educated youth to our production team."
"Aren't there still nine in the village now?" Three veteran educated youths plus six new educated youths, making a total of nine.
"Yes, there are a lot, but the higher-ups said this batch is different from the previous ones. This batch was all brought in by capitalists' daughters for renovation."
Lin Guangsheng thought for a moment: "Tell me more details."
Lin Guangyi was already at a loss, and his elder brother's return was just in time, so he simply explained clearly: "Three people came down this time, all of whom are rich and powerful. However, because of this mess, their families were all arrested. The family members were not implicated. These kids didn't do anything wrong, or rather, their families mainly had some issues with their identities, so they had to be sent down for reform. The higher-ups assigned it to our production team, and we couldn't refuse."
"You've explained it clearly enough," Lin Guangyi said. "Keep a close eye on things then."
Lin Guangyi said helplessly, "Brother, this isn't just a matter of keeping an eye on things; I'm afraid something might happen." Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought it up to see if his brother could make a decision.
Several incidents have occurred in their Xiaolin Village because of the educated youth. Although one was horrifying and the other was a lucky accident, Lin Guangyi now trembles whenever he hears the word "educated youth," feeling that something bad is about to happen. It has become a conditioned reflex.
Lin Guangsheng asked bluntly, "So, can you reject the official documents from above, or can you decide on the opinions from above?"
Wow, that hits the nail on the head.
Lin Guangyi shook his head honestly: "None."
"That settles it then." The outcome was obvious, and Lin Guangyi had no choice but to accept it.
"But why weren't they assigned to other commune production teams?!" It had to be their team! It's infuriating!
"Then let me ask you, how does our production team compare to other production teams?" Lin Guangsheng asked a rather practical question.
"Be a little richer." These words came out completely off the cuff.
"Yes, you know that if people are a little better off, others won't know either. Besides, you said that they used to be a wealthy and powerful family. Even if they've fallen on hard times, they can still arrange for their children to go somewhere. All you need to do now is keep an eye on them so they don't cause trouble. I believe these disgraced educated youths won't dare to do anything else."
Unless someone is completely stupid, no one would dare to cause such a scene.
They came to the production team feeling helpless and alone, and they really were helpless and alone now.
Moreover, they can't have all the good things go to their production team. Being too wealthy isn't always a good thing. Lin Guangsheng didn't think this matter lacked the intention of collaborating with other production teams. The educated youth who came down to the village were to receive their share of the production team's food rations, and Xiaolin Village Production Brigade, to be honest, was indeed a well-known wealthy place.
I know the logic, but: "Fine, I'm just hoping these educated youth will quiet down for now." There's really no other way, but: "Brother, Little Peach Blossom spent a lot of money in the city this time, didn't she? I heard that you scattered a lot of things at the village entrance."
The production team was bustling with activity along the way, and Lin Guangyi wasn't deaf.
Lin Guangsheng gave him a sidelong glance.
"Hehe, I was just asking. Look, I have some right here too."
"Yes, this is my daughter's kindness."
"Yes, yes, my brother's daughter is very filial."
"What will you give in return?"
Lin Guangyi's face scrunched up: "Do we really need to return the favor?"
"What else? Give it away for free?"
"No, no, no, how could I possibly take advantage of Xiao Taohua? But brother, should we let Xiao Taohua go and check on those people in the cowshed again?" Lin Guangyi said this secretly. Only a few people knew about what was happening in the cowshed; most people didn't know.
"What do you think?"
"It's my fault, it's my fault, I was wrong, brother." Lin Guangyi quickly patted his mouth a few times. However, Xiao Taohua's medical skills were so good that it was really hard not to tell anyone.
Lin Guangsheng snorted coldly: "Remember to return the favor." After saying that, he ignored Lin Guangyi and went back to their room in the old house to pack.
Looking at his elder brother's back, Lin Guangyi felt that his brother was becoming increasingly difficult to please.
"Honey," Wang Qiu said, walking over with gifts as her elder brother entered the house.
"Hmm?" Lin Guangyi replied while unwrapping the packaging paper.
"You said this little peach blossom brought us a gift, should we reciprocate?"
Lin Guangyi looked up: "You decide what to do."
"Okay, let me see what's inside." He happily opened the package and exclaimed, "Wow, it's a silk scarf! This is expensive!"
Wang Qiu was pleasantly surprised when she saw the silk scarf. She had originally thought it would be something like a pastry or a hair accessory, and hadn't even considered that it was a silk scarf. This thing was really expensive.
She couldn't resist wrapping it around her neck: "Honey, do I look good in this?"
Lin Guangyi glanced at it perfunctorily and said, "It's alright."
Wang Qiu rolled her eyes at her, but it didn't affect her good mood at all. She planned to go outside for a walk later and show off.
Lin Guangyi unwrapped the gift this time, and was surprised when he saw what was inside, but then he smiled.
"Master, what's yours?"
"pen."
"Wow, how much money will Little Peach Blossom have to spend this time?"
"Anyway, my brother has enough money to spend."
"Little Peach Blossom's intentions are truly commendable; otherwise, would you have even gotten your hands on Big Brother's money?"
"Why are you speaking the truth?" Having received something good, Lin Guangyi didn't mind his wife's harsh words. He looked at the pen in his hand from side to side, liking it more and more.
Over there, Old Man Lin and Old Woman Lin also opened their gifts, and fell silent upon seeing what was inside.
Old Man Lin had a brand new pipe, still with tobacco on it, while Old Woman Lin had a silver hairpin; neither of them were cheap items.
Holding the silver hairpin, Old Lady Lin couldn't help but say, "This child, spending money so recklessly." As she said this, her eyes welled up with tears.
"Alright, it's the child's filial piety, take it." Old Man Lin stroked the gun barrel carefully, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
To be honest, the children hadn't expected that the gifts they brought to the adults would be anything but ordinary.
However, each gift was given with heartfelt sincerity; it's impossible to say that no one put thought into it.
But the fact that the other party cared so much made them feel ashamed, because they had never cared about this extra person in their family, and their occasional concern was only based on the fact that she was Lin Guangsheng's daughter.
The adults had complicated expressions, while the children were simply happy.
"Little Peach Blossom, this is so delicious! We've never had this before."
"Yes, this is sold by the city's supply and marketing cooperative." Little Peach Blossom also took a bite. It tasted so good that she couldn't resist taking another bite.
"Is the city fun?" Lin Yuqing asked, her words slightly mumbled as she ate.
"It's fun. The streets are very clean, and the buildings are all very tall. Oh, and there are a lot of people. The only downside is that there are a lot of bad people."
"Bad guy? Were you bullied?"
"No, Little Peach Blossom has her father to protect her."
"It's good that I wasn't bullied. My uncle is very capable."
"Yes, Daddy is the best!" Little Peach Blossom said proudly.
