Fan Xiaofan followed the village chief to complete the formalities, and before leaving, she waved to Shi Lingheng like a lucky cat.
Her heart was pounding with excitement.
Shi Lingheng was taken aback; this young girl seemed to have a strange enthusiasm.
She recognized Shi Lingheng at first glance.
After all, his brain wasn't built for nothing, even though he had no idea what strange things it contained.
Shi Lingheng is a legendary figure who only appeared in confidential documents in later generations. What attracts more attention is his love life. It is said that he has an unspeakable relationship with Ruan Jiu, a man in a black suit who always follows him.
The record states that Ruan Jiu died saving him, and Shi Lingheng's hair turned white overnight.
He never married.
It is deeply moving and truly inspiring.
Fan Xiaofan suppressed her fangirl thoughts and shed a tear of sympathy for Shi Lingheng.
He devoted his entire life to the cause, even unto death, yet he couldn't be with the one he loved openly and legitimately. *sobs*
Fan Xiaofan increasingly felt that perhaps his arrival in this era not only allowed him to change the technology of this time, but also to help people...
After all, helping others is the source of happiness.
It didn't take long to complete the formalities for Fan Xiaofan, and the village chief's child was already playing with Fu Weidong in the courtyard.
Fan Xiaofan and the village chief talked about the grain.
After hearing Fan Xiaofan mention that Qingcheng, the provincial capital, was also short of food, the village chief sighed.
"Yunnan Province is supposed to be a major grain-producing province, but even we here are struggling to feed ourselves. I'm afraid other places are in the same boat. The whole country is facing difficulties..."
He exhaled smoke: "Actually, I guessed it too. These educated youth will probably keep coming..."
As he spoke, the village chief looked worried.
People eat tree bark, wild grass, and anything green and edible, but they're still hungry, and it's even harder to find something oily or flavorful.
In the neighboring villages, there are frequent funerals, mostly caused by people starving to death.
Therefore, the village chief naturally did not have a good impression of those educated youth who made trouble for no reason. Jiang Cheng was alright; although he was a grown man and did a messy job, he didn't cause much trouble. But Jiang Yi had been making a lot of trouble in the few days she was here. She didn't want to eat or stay, but no one indulged her. So how come she has adapted now?
You can't help with anything. You're just here to get a share of the food, and you don't even do any work, you just cause trouble. It's not like your father spoils you the whole time.
The village chief knew about the complaints from the other villagers about these educated youth, but he had to suppress his temper. He wouldn't tolerate the educated youth's commotion.
Shi Lingheng went to work in the fields, and Yu Qing, while transplanting rice seedlings, unknowingly walked up to him and asked, "Are you feeling better?"
The man nodded, remaining completely silent.
"How did you come with Comrade Fan Xiaofan? I heard she improved the tractor in the village. That girl is quite capable..."
Shi Lingheng frowned: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
Yu Qing subconsciously wanted to touch his nose, but when he raised his hand, he found his hand covered in mud. He froze in disgust and said, "Such talent should always be put to good use, shouldn't it?"
Shi Lingheng looked up at him and smiled slightly: "She's here to complete the procedures for being an educated youth."
Yu Qing was taken aback: "Why? People strive for better opportunities. With her abilities, why would she be content to stay here as an educated youth..."
Shi Lingheng overheard a bit and knew that the girl's family was probably not very harmonious, which was why she was left here. However, he was not in the mood to tell Yu Qing about this. He only said, "The matter has been settled. She will stay here, just like us."
