Lin Yuxi took a sip of water and moved the benches from the yard into the house. "I made these in the last two days. Since they've come all this way, we can't leave empty-handed. If we don't offer them food, they should definitely take something back with them."
The hand-cranked sprayer is just an added weight.
What they really want is planting technology to increase yields.
“That’s true. Our village has nothing. They didn’t even get a sip of water when they came.” Hearing this, Chen Dajiang nodded in agreement. “If you hadn’t brought this, I would have almost forgotten about it.”
When a high-ranking official from the city came down to visit, the village had nothing to offer in terms of hospitality. It was all thanks to Lin Yuxi's manual sprayer.
"You've worked so hard these past few days. If it weren't for you, the corn on the loess slope wouldn't have grown so fast. When we go back this time, they will definitely follow your example and start planting trees and forests. They will also have to study your watering machine."
Chen Dajiang understood that Lin Yuxi was always researching machines, so he couldn't let her do all the manual labor.
"You should rest at home. If you need anything, just ask for leave. You don't have to go."
Chen Dajiang didn't stay there any longer; he followed them. He rode his bicycle fast, but slowed down on the way back, afraid of running into Xu Yichang's car.
Once she left, Lin Yuxi began to study her sweet potatoes and, incidentally, grafted some corn onto them.
In the afternoon, I ran into Cao Wang, who was walking over with a palm-leaf fan, swaying back and forth. "Two letters arrived this morning, both for you. I saw that Director Chen and Secretary Xu were with you, so they didn't bring them to you."
"One letter is a letter of commendation brought from Xinluo Town. It was probably delayed for some reason. The letter of commendation for you saving that old lady has only just arrived. There is also another letter that I see is postmarked by Gu Chen. You can read it at home."
"Thank you, Village Secretary." Lin Yuxi smiled and took the letter. "After Director Chen and the others left this morning, I made some mung bean soup. Would you like some?"
Cao Wang remembered that the first time he drank her bottle of mung bean soup, he had taken the village map with him, and he immediately looked strange.
"Keep the mung bean soup for yourself. As you get older, you don't like sweet things anymore."
Lin Yuxi curled the corners of her lips, "There won't be many sweets this time."
"Never mind, I don't want it."
Lin Yuxi didn't open the letter of praise; she just threw it into her spatial storage. Instead, she opened the letter that Gu Chen had sent back.
"Xixi, I can't call you, so I can only write you a letter..."
Lin Yuxi carefully read the contents of the letter. It didn't contain much information. Gu Chen's application for demobilization was not approved, and he needed to be reinstated in the military. The letter didn't go into too much detail, only stating that he would submit a marriage application and that he could accompany Gu Chen to the military once it was approved.
Lin Yuxi was quite surprised to see this news. Gu Chen had served in the army for eight years, which, in principle, was not enough for his family to accompany him. Putting that aside, it meant that he had been promoted. If he had submitted a marriage application, the political review of her would have been even more stringent.
Even if her status is transferred to a lower-level position, it's not certain that it will pass the review.
However, the letter of exoneration and the letter of complaint have already been submitted, and there should be a result soon.
When Jiang Shufen returned, it was already six o'clock.
"When I went to other production teams to transplant rice seedlings today, I saw a car driving towards Qinghe Village. I heard from others that it was a leader from the city coming to inspect the work?"
The corn seedlings on Huangtupo grow quickly, so they don't need to do it anymore; they've been assigned to transplant rice seedlings to other production teams.
Lin Yuxi responded, "Yes, I came by once. Gu Chen also wrote a letter. He's been reinstated and told me in the letter that he's preparing to file for marriage."
