The hydroelectric generator remained at Xinxing Farm, and with this alone, Xinhua Commune earned back another engine.
After Zhuang Zhenhua's outburst, Lin Yuxi's clothes were covered in mud. It wasn't until they got back that Jiang Shufen learned that Lin Yuxi had run into that scumbag Zhuang Zhenhua at the farm.
She was worried, afraid that Lin Yuxi would bring up past memories again, and asked with a troubled expression, "Xixi, Zhuang Zhenhua didn't do anything to you, did he?"
"Nothing much happened. He beat up Yang Daniu, and I kicked him into the river in the end." Lin Yuxi said with a slight smile, "But since there were so many people, I didn't kick him enough. If it had been at night, I would have beaten him so badly that he wouldn't have been able to stand up the next day."
"You'd better not hit him. He's a grown man, after all. I'm afraid he'll hurt you. Next time you hit him, call Mom and Dad with you," Jiang Shufen said.
After all, she was his own daughter, and he was worried that she would suffer at Zhuang Zhenhua's hands.
Lin Yuxi didn't take Zhuang Zhenhua seriously at all; her expression was one of utter disdain. "Mom, don't worry about him. He won't get anything out of me. I'm more worried that he'll try to deceive the other girls on the farm."
Anyway, the college entrance exam is just a year away, and Zhuang Zhenhua and Dong Wei have both been sent to the countryside. They're going to have a lot of trouble in the future.
Jiang Shufen nodded. "Don't keep thinking about what happened to him. They deserved it; they brought it on themselves. Once Gu Chen has finished his business and comes back, you two should go and get your marriage certificate."
Time flies.
The corn harvest has begun.
Gazing at the corn that shimmered like gold.
Chen Dajiang also rushed over from Qinghe Village to harvest the crops with everyone.
Around six o'clock in the morning, he rode his old bicycle like a gust of wind to the village entrance, and then steadily tied the bicycle to the thick tree at the village entrance.
The reason he came here was simply to see how the first batch of corn had fared, since it was the first batch of corn to be harvested.
While the corn in other communes is just starting to husk, they have already begun harvesting. They can then use the corn to exchange for other things.
Moreover, after the corn harvest, the corn stalks are also very useful. They need to be bundled up and can be used as firewood. The next step is the massive project of transforming the slope into terraced fields.
Their commune was originally impoverished, but now, thanks to the machines made by Lin Yuxi, they can finally hold their heads high in front of other communes.
Before Lin Yuxi could even go to the field, Chen Dajiang rushed to the mud-brick house and found her.
"After the corn harvest, you can see how to build these terraced fields. I will urge them to make the changes as soon as possible."
He had heard that Lin Yuxi was engaged to Gu Chen, and that Gu Chen had gone to the army. How long could Lin Yuxi stay?
"Okay, Director, don't worry." Lin Yuxi followed him to the field. Some time ago, she received a letter from Gu Chen saying that he would take leave to come back and get the marriage certificate. The marriage application had been approved. After all, their family had been exonerated, and it would be unreasonable not to approve it soon.
When Gu Chen returned with his backpack, he was riding Xiao Xuejun's bicycle and parked at the village entrance.
During this delay, he took the opportunity to bring Xiao Xuejun a wedding gift.
They even let him ride the bicycle away.
When he returned, it was noon, and there were few people in the village. This time, he came back with only a small bag on his back, and he didn't have much stuff. This time, he had taken a shorter leave than before. Since he was going to take up a position, he certainly couldn't stay back for too long. This time, he took leave to come back and get his certificate.
The gate was locked, and there were no valuables in the bag. After putting the bag down, he headed straight for the loess slope.
On the loess slope, Chen Dajiang, like a tireless old ox, had already carried two loads of corn. His arms and back were covered with scars from the corn leaves, like earthworms crawling on them.
"Lin Yuxi, don't bother, just sit there." Chen Dajiang looked at Lin Yuxi with a smile as bright as a blooming flower. She was the precious darling of their commune, so he didn't want her to get tired.
He gently stroked the plump ears of corn in his hand, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
We can take some corn and exchange it for some rice.
As soon as Gu Chen reached the top of the slope, he saw Lin Yuxi sitting in the seat that used to belong to He Meifang, taking shelter under a tree.
The loess slope is much cooler than before, and working in the fields is not as tiring. The grass underfoot is soft and no longer feels dry.
