When Jiang Wanyue arrived.
In the dim light, I could just see a man taking off his clothes at the door of the cowshed, as if he was about to go into the water.
The reformed elements in the cowshed were being watched by many people and only dared to move at night. Just as the man was about to go into the water, he heard footsteps. He was so scared that he rolled over and hid in the reeds nearby.
Jiang Wanyue thought it was Mr. Lu, but the other party's reactions were so quick that he didn't look like an old man.
She coughed and said, "I'm Jiang Wanyue."
The man then poked his head out from the reeds and quickly picked up the clothes on the ground and put them on: "It turns out to be Teacher Jiang. Thank you Teacher Jiang for saving my wife. If it weren't for the medicine Teacher Jiang sent, my wife would definitely not have survived."
Jiang Wanyue understood that this person was Mr. Lu's grandson. She smiled and said, "I am no longer a teacher. I am older than you. You can call me Sister Jiang."
The sound of their conversation startled the people in the cowshed.
Mr. Lu, Mrs. Lu, and the pregnant Duan Jing also came out.
"The last time Sister Jiang came, I was assigned to work on water conservancy projects. I only found a chance to come back these past two days." Lu Chengyuan said, "From now on, Sister Jiang will be our Lu family's benefactor!"
Duan Jing then said, "When the baby is born, I will ask him to recognize Sister Jiang as his godmother, and he will be filial to Sister Jiang when he grows up."
After they were sent down to the countryside, they suffered all kinds of hardships in life. For the first time, they felt the kindness of outsiders. They were full of gratitude, but didn't know how to repay them.
Mr. Lu urged, “Chengyuan, why are you still standing there? Go into the water and catch some fish and shrimps for Wanyue to take back.”
"Don't!" Jiang Wanyue waved her hands quickly, "I came here so late just to tell you, don't go fishing in the river. If you are discovered by the team, it will be a disaster. If something happens, the only pillar of your Lu family will be gone. The river is very deep, and people drown every year. Old Lu, please don't let your grandson take risks."
Lu Chengyuan patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Sister Jiang, I'm a very good swimmer."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade him, Jiang Wanyue could only say, "You should also know that I am now in charge of the brigade's fishing grounds. Will I be short of fish and shrimp to eat?"
After hearing this, the Lu family fell silent.
Apart from sneaking into the water to catch some fish and shrimp to thank their benefactor, they could do nothing else.
"How about this." Jiang Wanyue said with a smile, "If you really want to thank me, can you be the teacher of my son and daughter?"
From the conversation, she could feel that several people in the Lu family were intellectuals, and their knowledge was not much lower than that of a graduate student like her.
She is now extremely busy every day and has no time to tutor the children. Huaizhi is in dire need of knowledge, so it is a good opportunity for the Lu family to come.
Mr. Lu hesitated and said, "It's not that I don't want to, but... our identities are not suitable for doing this. If we are discovered, I'm afraid it will affect Teacher Jiang."
Jiang Wanyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have my own arrangements. I will start the formal class in a few days."
As she spoke, she took out three eggs from her pocket. "Mr. Lu, since you teach my children, I won't pay you. How about one egg a day? Mr. Lu, don't refuse. You don't need eggs, but pregnant women do. More nutrition is needed so that the baby can be born healthy. I'll pay you for three days first."
She stuffed the egg into Mr. Lu's arms, turned around and left.
In the darkness of the night, the four people from the Lu family looked at each other.
Mrs. Lu sighed, "She is a teacher. She can teach the children herself, but she lets you, an old man, go. It's obvious that she wants to help us through the difficulties. Our Lu family's ancestors have accumulated good deeds and met a good person."
Duan Jing held her belly and said, "One egg a day is not a small amount. This is a huge favor."
"Enjoy the eggs, I'll come and repay you." Lu Chengyuan said, "Jiang Jie has no man at home, so they probably need firewood. There's no one on the mountain right now, so it's a good opportunity to go chop firewood."
The next morning, Jiang Wanyue found two loads of dry firewood at the door of her house, weighing more than 20 kilograms, which could earn her five cents if sold.
On the surface, it seemed that she helped the Lu family, but in fact, the Lu family gave back more.
She dragged the firewood in, stacked it behind the house, covered it with straw, then prepared breakfast and went to the brigade headquarters after eating.
Today Lin Jin went to the county to try his luck, and only Jiang Wanyue and Zhao Xiangbei were busy collecting fish grass. With yesterday's experience, things were done quickly today. One person was able to control the situation while the other could find time to mix the fish food. Before ten o'clock, the fish food was ready, and then they divided the work to feed the fish.
Feeding fish is a hard job. Jiang Wanyue had just finished feeding a pond before noon. After lunch, she continued to feed the fish. She was busy until two o'clock before she had time to rest. After resting for more than ten minutes, she rushed to the brigade headquarters to paint. She had no free time the whole day.
In the evening, Lin Jin came back dejected.
She saw Jiang Wanyue sell the fish so easily and thought it was an easy task. However, when she arrived in the county town, she realized that it was harder than climbing to the sky.
She couldn't even get through the factory gate.
After a long and shameless struggle, she finally got into the candy factory, but she was always left sitting on the bench. Finally, they had to hold a meeting and kicked her out.
I kept running into obstacles all day and felt really frustrated.
She used to think that she and Jiang Wanyue were both educated youth, and neither was much worse than the other. Jiang Wanyue was able to stand out because she had a father-in-law who was a team leader.
But in fact, the captain's daughter-in-law is nothing if she leaves the brigade and goes out into the world. But Jiang Wanyue managed to make a name for herself in the world.
On the other hand, she wasted 70 cents of funds.
"It's the first time, it's normal." Jiang Wanyue said, "Try again tomorrow, don't miss any opportunity."
Lin Jin's eyes were complicated: "Aren't you afraid that I will waste the fishery's money?"
"There is no gain without investment." Jiang Wanyue looked at her. "I invited you to join the fishery because I believe in your ability. You just haven't found a way yet. Just figure it out slowly. It's only a matter of time before you sell the fish. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I'll be there for you."
