Chapter 143 Autumn Harvest
As for when Ye Mu would come back, He Jianqi actually knew. Yan Hongqiang just told him:
"Tomorrow, don't be anxious. Think it over carefully. Ye Mu is back. Old Xu and Ye Mu will definitely work together on fighter jets. This computer may not be usable for the time being. This is giving you old guys a chance to learn."
"Building a fighter jet is not just the job of Ye Mu and Mr. Xu. Everyone in the institute who can spare the time to help must help. Building a fighter jet is definitely not going to be smooth sailing."
“Be prepared to fight a protracted war.”
Even if the design is complete, there is no guarantee that it will be successful immediately.
What's more, apart from Ye Mu, there is probably no one in the hospital who knows fighter jets better than her.
People from the old city can’t borrow it, there’s nothing we can do.
＊
The autumn harvest has begun. The golden ears of rice are rolling in the fields with the heat waves. The fields are filled with figures scorched by the sun. Their clothes are all covered with dark patches, wetted by sweat again and again.
For the letter sent by Ye Mu this time, neither Lin Dan nor Ye Wansheng had time to go to the town or city. They just waited for the postman to deliver it to their village on his bicycle, and shouted from a distance on the road:
"Lin Dan from the Fourth Squadron, there is a letter for you—"
Lin Dan stood up immediately after hearing the voice, put his sickle on the harvested rice beside him, then ran over quickly, took the letter from the postman, and said:
"Wait a moment. I have a letter to mail. I'll go home and get it."
The postman found a shady spot by the roadside, set up his bicycle, sat down on the ground and said:
"Okay, then hurry up, I still have several letters to deliver!"
Lin Dan ran so fast that he seemed to leave an afterimage. He was blown back home like a gust of wind. He pushed the door open with a clang, and it hit the wall with a sound of being unable to bear the weight, but it still stood firm.
He returned to his room as quickly as possible and took out the letter he had written with Ye Wansheng. When they received the previous letter, they had finished writing it. However, they were already very busy by then and really had no time or convenience to leave the village to go to the town to mail the letter.
Especially for Ye Wansheng, the excuse that his father had bad legs and feet was no longer valid.
It is better to be cautious, so now all letters are sent out under Lin Dan’s name.
After closing the door, Lin Dan returned to the roadside as quickly as possible and handed the letter to the postman.
The postman knew Lin Dan and was a familiar acquaintance. He couldn't help but ask Lin Dan:
"I say, did you hook up with a female soldier from some military district? These letters were all sent to the military district."
"Your letter was also sent by the military district, and it was stamped. The leader specifically told me to deliver the letter from the military district to the recipient."
"Oh no." Lin Dan said helplessly, "I met a girl outside some time ago. She is from this military district. She is very warm and friendly. I helped her family a little, so she has been in touch with me. This is my way of repaying my gratitude."
The postman immediately looked ambiguous, thinking that Lin Dan's luck with love had arrived.
Lin Dan said quickly: "The girl is already married, she is a military wife, and her husband also agreed to write this letter."
He didn't want the postman to talk nonsense everywhere.
The postman was a little disappointed, feeling that he didn't hear the gossip he wanted. He said goodbye to Lin Dan and rode his bike to continue delivering letters.
When Lin Dan returned to the field, people on both sides couldn't help but ask a few more questions, most of which were about who sent him the letter.
Everyone is curious. Lin Dan has received more packages and letters in the past month than in the past ten years combined.
Moreover, it is not simple at first glance.
I’m afraid he has found some rich girl to date?
But would people from the city be interested in Lin Dan, a second-rate guy from the village?
No one believed it.
Lin Dan still used the same excuse. It was none of his business whether others believed it or not. They had no way of knowing the truth anyway.
When others asked Lin Zhi and Lin Ge, they would get the same answer. Lin Zhi and Lin Ge were not stupid. They had been taught by Lin Dan and Ye Wansheng since they were young. How could they be stupid?
Both of them kept in mind the instructions of Lin Dan and Ye Wansheng, that is, sister Ye Mu's affairs must not be known to others.
Wu Yueying didn't care about the nonsense they were talking about.
Farm work is really tiring. It may seem like simple physical labor, but repeating it countless times will only make people feel uncomfortable. Coupled with the scorching sun, she really couldn't hold on.
If you can't imagine it, then just imagine how uncomfortable it would be for a person to keep squatting under the scorching sun.
Sweat flows into the eyes and cannot be wiped away, and the back of the hand feels itchy after being rubbed with rice leaves.
At the end of the day, her hands and face were covered with either pimples from mosquito bites or red marks all over her arms from irritation from the paddy leaves.
It was so itchy that she almost cried. Only after the sun set and the evening breeze blew, she could wash her hands in the river with cool water to get a moment's relief.
Then Wu Yueying applied the ointment she had bought a few days ago, feeling extremely disgusted.
Fortunately, the house built near the cowshed was full, and she secretly gave a lot of good things to the village leader, otherwise she would have to live there now.
Now she lives in the Youth League Home, so it doesn't seem so embarrassing on the surface.
But this life is too hard.
There were not many female educated youth in the youth home. There were only two who were about her age. The others had already married and integrated with the local villagers.
In the past two days, Wu Yueying also heard that two other female educated youth were thinking about the same thing. It seemed that they were dating young men in the village and were hesitating whether to get married.
Anyway, the college entrance examination will be resumed next year, and whoever gets married will be unlucky.
She now has another way out, and that is being a college student in this era, which is very rare.
The punishment the military district gave her was to send her to labor camp and rectify her thinking, but a year later, these meant nothing.
She can pass the college entrance examination and go home.
Wu Yueying lay in bed, counting the days, and August was approaching.
By this time, Song Yanzhou should have already gone on a mission.
She suddenly found it funny.
She didn't know what happened in this mission, but she heard that less than half of the people Song Yanzhou brought returned, and all of them returned injured.
Qin Qingfeng died, and so did that female sharpshooter, Du Sijia, who was also very conspicuous in the military region.
So what if Ye Mu is so powerful?
The final fate is to become a stepmother.
But now that Ye Mu has entered the research institute, he has no time to take care of the children, and Qin Chu and Qin Hua are not as friendly as they appear.
When these two kids start to cause trouble for others, they are even more excessive than the naughty kids in other troops.
She would have to see how the two of them could go on when the time came.
Don't think that they can live a good life if she leaves!
However, compared to the miserable situation of Ye Mu becoming a stepmother in the future, she now wanted to know whether Wang Jiangling took any action after reading her letter.
If there is no action, then the things she gave would be wasted.
