After spring plowing, there would be a period of downtime, but Liang Shouzhen didn't let everyone be idle. He continued to dig irrigation ditches, which was essential for ensuring a good grain harvest.
In a few days, they will organize people to start digging for wild vegetables. He has this on his mind and he can't even enjoy his meals until this matter is resolved.
After the spring planting was finished, He Chenglin came to pick up his wife and take her home. Du Yuhan handed over the new home to her adoptive parents and returned to the city with her father.
She needed to go visit the Jiang family. She also needed to check on Jiang Bowen's job at the tractor factory.
She has already asked Gu Qishen to put in a good word with the tractor factory; as long as Jiang Bowen passes the exam, he will definitely be hired.
She needs to let Jiang Bowen prepare properly.
Liang Shouzhen told Du Yuhan not to stay at home any longer and to return to Laohewan Village as soon as possible. The wild vegetables had grown quite large, and in a few days they could organize the villagers to go foraging for them.
He owes someone 40,000 catties of wild vegetables. He won't feel at ease until he pays that debt back.
The most important thing is to pay off the debt as soon as possible while there are still wild vegetables. If the weather gets hotter and the drought worsens, all the wild vegetables will wither and die, which would be a real problem.
Not only will failing to repay the debt cause trouble for Du Yuhan, but it will also make her think that he is untrustworthy, and such good things will definitely not happen again in the future.
After returning home, Du Yuhan replenished all the food supplies at home, and then took the things she had prepared for the Jiang family to their home.
She specifically chose a weekend when Jiang Bowen would be home.
Jiang Bowen was very happy to see Sister Xiaohan. "Sister Xiaohan, you're here! I applied for a job at the tractor factory. I don't have much experience, so I'll take the apprenticeship exam."
Du Yuhan nodded and said, "I've already asked someone to put in a good word for you. As long as you pass the exam, you'll definitely be hired. Good luck!"
Jiang Bowen said happily, "I will definitely work hard."
Jiang Zhaonian said, "It's really a lot of trouble for you, Xiaohan. It would be great if Bowen could get a job at the tractor factory."
Du Yuhan said, "I just had someone give me a heads-up, on the condition that Bowen passes the exam."
Du Yuhan took out some books on mechanics from this era that she had prepared for Jiang Bowen and handed them to him, saying, "I found you a few books on mechanics. Study them; they will help you when you work in the tractor factory in the future."
Jiang Bowen took the books, looked at them, and was very excited. "Thank you, Sister Xiaohan. These books are perfect for me. I will definitely study them carefully."
Jiang Zhaonian said from the side, "Xiaohan, I've come across a few old items you wanted these past few days, and I've saved them all for you. When I go to work, come to my workplace and I'll give them to you. It's best to go at noon, when there's no one else around, just me, which will make things easier."
Du Yuhan said, "Then I'll come to see you tomorrow at noon."
Du Yuhan stayed at Jiang's house for more than an hour before buying some things and heading home.
As she rode her bicycle near the gate of the compound, she looked up and saw Liu Gang. He was talking to the gatekeeper, and a car was parked behind him.
Du Yuhan quickly lowered her head, turned her bicycle around, and sped away from the gate of the compound.
There was no doubt that Han Yixian was sitting in the car. She hoped that Han Yixian hadn't seen her.
How did Liu Gang and his group end up here?
In a panic, Du Yuhan rode her bicycle into a small alley and kept going deeper into it; it was not a good time for her to go home.
Du Yuhan guessed correctly; Han Yixian was indeed sitting in the car.
He had been busy with work since arriving in City C, and only managed to visit the Du family a few times in his spare time. Today he finally had some free time to visit an elder he had known for a long time.
City C has a nice environment and is a relatively suitable place to live. However, none of this has anything to do with Han Yixian. He only came here because he knew it was close to the Du family and he could take care of them.
He has no interest in contacting relatives and friends right now, and he only came to visit today because this elder called him.
When they arrived at the gate of the compound, Liu Gang got out of the car to register, while Han Yixian waited in the car.
He sat in the car and glanced at the surroundings outside. When his gaze returned to the rearview mirror, he saw a figure riding away on a bicycle. He didn't pay any attention to it and closed his eyes to rest in the car.
After registering, Liu Gang got into his car and drove towards the house they were going to.
Before they even arrived at their destination, Han Yixian suddenly opened his eyes and shouted to Liu Gang, "Gangzi, quickly turn around and leave the compound!"
Liu Gang was a little taken aback by Xian Ge's shout. They were almost there, why were they leaving again?
Han Yixian was very anxious. He said directly, "Stop the car, I'll drive."
Liu Gang quickly stopped the car, and Han Yixian immediately got out and came to the driver's side. Liu Gang quickly moved aside and took the passenger seat.
Han Yixian quickly opened the car door, got into the driver's seat, started the car, and made a turn, speeding out of the compound.
Han Yi drove out of the compound and began looking around. He searched several nearby streets but couldn't find the figure he had caught in his rearview mirror.
Han Yi first parked his car on the side of a street, closed his eyes and carefully recalled the figure that had just flashed past him.
He felt that the figure was so familiar, almost exactly the same as Du Yuhan's. Most importantly, he had only ever seen Du Yuhan carry that kind of backpack.
Nowadays, most people carry bags across their shoulders, and very few carry them on their backs like Du Yuhan does.
Liu Gang asked curiously, "Brother Xian, are you looking for someone?"
Han Yixian said, "I just saw a figure in the rearview mirror at the gate of the compound that looked a lot like Yuhan, and was also carrying a backpack like Yuhan's. It was right at the gate, but the figure disappeared in just a short while."
This means she must live nearby. Or she might be someone from the compound, since she was just at the compound gate.
Liu Gang thought that Brother Xian was hallucinating because he missed Du Yuhan so much, so he said, "Brother Xian, are you seeing things? Are you just imagining things? Besides, just because someone looks like Yuhan from behind doesn't mean anything. It's just that you miss Yuhan too much."
Brother, Yuhan is gone. She certainly wouldn't want you to dwell on past sorrows. She worked so hard to get your health back on track; you can't ruin it like this. Besides, Yuhan's family needs your care.
Han Yi closed his eyes and waited for a while. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the figure resembled Du Yuhan. However, he couldn't find her now and there was nothing he could do but think things through. He suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, started the car again, and entered the **family compound.
Today, Han Yixian was in no mood to socialize with others, so he hurriedly ended his visit and returned to his residence with Liu Gang.
