Chapter 593 Return to the Village
As soon as Xu Lin appeared, the old man and old lady noticed that some people were coming towards her with a smile, while others were running towards the brigade headquarters with a smile.
"Xu Zhiqing is back. Oh, you are finally back. You have been away for a long time this time."
Third Grandma ran very fast on her small feet, and the smile on her face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Hey, Third Grandma, please slow down, slow down." Xu Lin shouted while driving, thinking to herself, old lady, you don't know your own age.
We don’t need to talk about your age, but you can’t forget your small feet. You could fall even on flat ground, and you’re still running!
Xu Lin drove to Third Grandma and braked to help her up. "Third Grandma, do you miss me?"
"Of course not. Ask how many people in our village don't miss you." The third grandmother patted Xu Lin's hand and looked at her.
"You've lost weight again. When Third Grandma brings you the old hen later, don't be reluctant to eat it."
Xu Lin was embarrassed. How could she have lost weight? She had obviously gained weight, and she had never wronged herself before.
If anyone is reluctant to eat it, it's my third grandmother. She has many children and grandchildren. She has been poor since she was young and has been frugal all her life.
I can pick up any rice grains that have fallen on the ground and put them in my mouth.
There were some delicious food at home, and Third Grandma saved it for her children and grandchildren. She didn’t eat much herself.
To be honest, whenever Xu Lin sees her Third Grandma and her generation, she can't help but think that their lives were too hard.
If they don't live a few more years and enjoy the good life brought about by reform and opening up, they would be really letting themselves down.
"Third grandma, I'm not thin, I've gained two kilograms. Look, I have more flesh on my face, and... "
Xu Lin patted the tricycle behind her and said, "Look, I brought back so many good things. I never failed to please myself."
"It's good that you haven't said anything bad. Good child, good child." Third grandmother patted Xu Lin's hands hard, not wanting to let go.
"Good boy, our village has really benefited from you. You don't know it, but life in our village has really improved. We can eat meat now."
Grandma San pointed at the canning factory and said, "Look, that's the canning factory in our village. We're running day and night but can't supply the goods. The orders are already scheduled for three months later."
"Really? Business is really good." Xu Lin gave a thumbs up. It was amazing that a newly established factory could have such a long queue of orders.
Third Grandma was smiling happily, because business was good. With good business, the workers’ wages were high and the village received more dividends.
When they were chatting, they calculated that if business continued to be so good, they might be able to pay back the money they spent on the production line in two or three years.
Then they will be able to enjoy dividends, and even if there are no dividends, every household will have workers.
Thirty or forty yuan a month is a steady stream of money.
The villagers became richer, their mental outlook improved, they wore better clothes, and their children were sent to school.
If there were any families who were reluctant to send their daughters to school, the team leader would go to their homes and reprimand them.
Why is it useless for girls to study?
Without it, how can their village run a factory?
Besides, if the girl becomes capable in the future, she can help her brothers, right?
It's better than raising her up and then marrying her off and asking for a dowry. But how much dowry can you ask for?
If a girl is capable, and finds a job and stays at home for two years, wouldn’t the salary she earns be more than the betrothal gift?
Even if you can't find a job, you can still get married. If a man is capable, he can also help his natal family.
In short, no matter how much you study, it is not as good as learning well.
Wang Facai was a good talker. Since his family was not short of money, he also hoped that all the girls in the village could go to school.
Soon, other uncles and aunts gathered around, and when they heard Third Grandma talking about the children's education, they started talking too.
He even boasted in front of Xu Lin that all his grandchildren had been sent to school.
Adults can finish the housework when they are tired, but it cannot affect the future of their children.
Putting aside other things, just looking at Xu Lin's grades, they also think that studying is good.
Children who study hard are very capable. Look at Xu Lin, he can get all kinds of good things.
As for those useless educated youth in the educated youth home, alas, it is inevitable that there will be a few scumbags among the scholars.
Even the children who grew up in their village could turn out to be bad kids, not to mention the educated youth.
Xu Lin chatted for a long time at the entrance of the village before leaving. She distributed cigarettes to the old men and candies to the old ladies. As they watched, Xu Lin ran towards the Youth League Home.
I heard that there are new educated youths in the Youth Home, and I don’t know if they can get along well with them. Even if they can’t, Xu Lin is not afraid.
At worst, we can just stop interacting.
If they make a big fuss, we can just watch the show from the sidelines.
Because Xu Lin returned to Wangzhuang Brigade in the afternoon, the villagers were either working or going to work, and the educated youth were no exception.
No, the educated youth were an exception.
Xu Lin pushed open the gate of the Youth Hostel. Before the car reached the door, she saw Liu Yu appear with a bruised face and nose.
When he saw that it was Xu Lin who came back, a look of envy and jealousy flashed across Liu Yu's face.
Xu Lin glanced at Liu Yu and then looked away. She was too lazy to take another look at it. It was a dirty thing and looking at it too much would dirty her eyes.
Xu Lin parked the tricycle and moved the things into the room.
The things in the car were brought back by Xu Lin to conceal her identity. She had to let people know that she had enough so that she could enjoy the food while salting the fish.
After moving all the things, Xu Lin closed the door and went into the house to take a rest.
Liu Yu stood at the door and watched Xu Lin busying herself in and out for quite a while before she finished moving all the things. This made Liu Yu feel even more jealous.
Liu Yu touched the wound on his face. He hadn't eaten meat for a long time.
Liu Yu originally stole a lot of money from the Zhang brothers, but he didn't hide it well and was discovered by Qi Lian'er.
Not only did the woman move out by herself, she also took away Liu Yu's money.
Liu Yu asked for the money several times, but not only did he not get it back, he was also beaten several times by Qi Lian'er.
During the fight in the Youth League compound, Liu Yu didn't gain any advantage at all. The Zhang brothers held him down as if they were seriously ill and watched him get beaten.
This happened once, twice, and three times. How could Liu Yu tolerate this? So Liu Yu decided to ask for external help. He wanted to find a way to destroy these three people.
But Liu Yu didn't expect that before he could take any action, Xu Lin came back first, and this woman was seconded to the Law Enforcement Bureau.
Liu Yu was afraid of being discovered for doing something under Xu Lin's nose, so after thinking it over again and again he decided to give up the idea and endure it for a few more days.
Anyway, Xu Lin was often out and about and seldom returned to the Youth League Home.
After comforting himself, Liu Yu returned to his room and lay down with a face full of injuries.
Xu Lin never thought that her return would help Qi Lian'er resolve a crisis.
Lying on the kang, Xu Lin thought of Wu Hui who was still abroad. After thinking for a while, she decided to call her and ask when she would return home.
First decide with Wuhui the time to return home so that he can go to graduate school.
The inner demons are easy to resolve, especially the inner demons that want to serve the motherland, which are very easy to resolve.
The call was connected soon. Xu Lin put the phone to her ear and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
