Lu Zhiye was riding his bike very fast and happened to meet Daniu who was walking back along the way.
He quickly braked and patted the back seat: "Daniu, why are you here? Are you going back to the village? Come on, I'll take you with me."
Daniu is now several years older, and feels a little shy when he thinks about his naughty days.
He pulled the corner of his clothes and said, "I am now studying in the commune primary school. My father said that if I know a few words and get a diploma, it will be easier for me to find a job in the future."
It turned out that two days ago, Daniu's father went to the city to carry a large load, and others bullied him because he was illiterate, so they deliberately gave him a lot less.
Da Niu's father was not good at talking, and in the end it was Zhou Guoliang who happened to be passing by who argued and got his wages back for him.
Looking at Zhou Guoliang who was speaking eloquently, Daniu's father realized for the first time that being illiterate would really make one get bullied.
He made a prompt decision and sent his son, Danniu, to school.
Da Niu is ten years old now. According to normal school conditions, he should be in the second or third grade, but he has never been to school before, so he can only start from the first grade.
He is the oldest in the class, but he has a quick mind. After just two months of school, he has mastered most of the first grade knowledge.
He went home early today because his teacher told him to go home and talk to his parents about skipping to the second grade.
Lu Zhiye listened to his words, smiled and nodded: "Yes, you have really grown up.
Study hard, it will be good for your future. You are still young now and your family doesn't expect you to earn these few centimeters.
Your father has done a good thing."
When the lady in the green headscarf shouted that she wanted to send her child to school, Da Niu's father refused to agree.
Because of this, the two of them had a huge argument.
A phrase that Daniu's father often said was: "What's the point of going to school? If you have this free time, you might as well go and cut grass for pigs and earn four centimeters a day.
It can be exchanged for some food throughout the year. Look at those educated youth, they all graduated from high school. What’s the use?
Don’t they still have to work in the fields with us? They can’t even earn a cent a day, and can’t save much money all year round, and even owe the brigade grain.”
Because of his words, the lady with the green headscarf was too embarrassed to go to the educated youth center again.
Now that he suffered cultural loss, it was Zhou Guoliang from the educated youth point who stepped forward to solve the problem for him.
Da Niu's father's old face turned red with shame, realizing that what he said before was indeed wrong. Now he praises the educated youth culture in the educated youth site to everyone he meets in the village.
This made the educated youth feel a little embarrassed, so Captain Lu specially expanded two literacy classes.
The educated youth took turns to work and were paid on a daily basis. The villagers learned with great interest, while the educated youth fought tooth and nail for one dollar a day.
Da Niu jumped onto the bicycle and subconsciously stretched out his arms to hug Lu Zhiye's waist.
He lowered his eyes and saw the patch on his arm, then looked at Lu Zhiye carefully.
Only then did I realize that the boy who used to walk with his head down and covered in patches has really changed.
For a moment, Daniel felt ashamed of what he had done before.
He muttered quietly, "I'm sorry!"
The wind was too strong and Lu Zhiye didn't hear clearly. In addition, he was preoccupied with something and his long legs were pedaling very fast.
After finally arriving at the village, he lifted Daniu off the bike and rode his bicycle towards his home without looking back.
Wen Sihe was washing clothes in the yard and had boiled a large pot of water.
Many villagers washed their hands with cold water, and their hands and radish heads were frozen. This was something Wen Sihe could not understand.
There is hot water, why make things so difficult for yourself?
Hearing the noise at the door, she stood up, shook her hands, and walked quickly towards the door.
Seeing Lu Zhiye’s serious expression, the smile on her face froze.
"What's going on?"
Lu Zhiye parked the car and took her into the house.
"I have something to tell you. Promise me first not to get excited."
Wen Sihe was confused by his mysterious tone.
"What's going on?"
"Something happened to your brother. We don't know the exact circumstances. We only know that he is in the military hospital in Shaanxi Province."
As soon as Wen Sihe heard the first sentence, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
Lu Zhiye quickly helped her sit on the bed: "This is what Fang Shijie told me.
It is not clear why he was injured or where he was injured.
I have already made arrangements with the factory and will go over there.
You come with me and leave Tuantuan, Yuanyuan and Yueyue to mom and the others."
Wen Sihe held Lu Zhiye's hand and gradually tightened her grip: "Yes, yes, we, we will go over there, and everything will be fine.
You have the spiritual spring water, you will be fine..."
Before she could finish her words, she broke down and burst into tears.
Lu Zhiye quickly held the person in his arms and comforted him softly.
"It'll be fine, don't worry, don't worry."
Wen Sihe in his arms kept shaking, and her tears wet the clothes in front of Lu Zhiye.
"Pack your things first, I'll go talk to mom.
Then go to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction, and we will set out early tomorrow morning."
Lu Zhiye's words were like a reassurance pill, calming Wen Sihe's panicked heart.
She packed her clothes with shaking hands. Yan Wenqing on the other side heard this and his expression became serious.
She had dealt with these people often before, so she could naturally smell a hint of danger.
She grabbed Lu Zhiye's hand and gave him a name: "If you encounter something that you can't solve, go find him.
Also remember, don't rashly get into conflict with others.
In the Shaanxi-Gansu Military Region, many people knew your father.
Time flies, and no one knows what people's hearts will become.
It’s better for us not to get involved.”
Lu Zhiye nodded repeatedly to show that he understood.
In the evening, Lu Zhiye took Wen Sihe to the brigade headquarters to get a letter of introduction.
Captain Lu was a little surprised at first, but when he heard that they were going home to visit relatives, a hint of relief flashed in his eyes.
He patted Lu Zhiye's shoulder gently and said, "Finally you've made it to meet the parents."
When Wen Sihe’s grandparents came over earlier, the villagers saw their attitude.
Captain Lu was afraid that Wen Sihe's family would not agree with them being together.
Don’t talk about how you already have children and you’re married.
Some time ago, there was an incident in the neighboring commune, where female educated youth were given the opportunity to return to the city.
That night I packed my clothes and took the train home.
Leaving her husband and children in a mess, her mother-in-law cried and screamed at home all day long.
What's the use?
It's thousands of kilometers round trip, who can run over there and not find it?
"It's good to go home and visit your family. Since the educated youth Xiao Wen doesn't go to work anyway, I'll approve a few more days of leave for you.
Can you also provide the certificates for both dolls?"
Lu Zhiye shook his head: "They are not going."
