At night, the children still slept in the same position as before. Sanwang still had the habit of boxing and would occasionally climb on top of Dawang. When Dawang was strangled, he would kick him back to prevent himself from suffocating.

It was already eleven o'clock when Lin Lan was thinking about going to bed. Should she have a good sleep? But Director Han said he would not go to work the next day and would spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home with her and the children.

then……

The next morning, Han Qingsong did not fail to get up just because he slept late. His biological clock, which had remained the same for more than a decade, made him get up and go out at dawn as usual.

Da Wang in the east room heard this and hurried up, kicking San Wang and saying, "Get up and do some exercise."

Sanwang grumbled, thinking that his own father was even crueler than his coach, but he jumped up, fearing that he would be beaten as soon as he got home.

Mai Sui and Xiao Wang were no exception and both got up for morning exercises.

Sanwang missed such morning exercises very much, and his shouts were especially loud.

After running, push-ups, squat jumps and other activities, it's time to fight.

Now Mai Sui and Er Wang also practiced simple fighting skills with Da Wang. Er Wang naturally didn't need to learn to be as good as Da Wang, and Mai Sui's skills were even simpler. Da Wang taught her a few moves over and over again, so that she could practice them and use them at critical moments.

In addition to martial arts, Da Wang also has dagger skills. Recently, he has been practicing knife-throwing techniques. At the beginning, he draws a circle at a distance of one meter and is required to stab the dagger into the circle without missing a single shot. Once he has achieved this, he will move to 1.5 meters, and then gradually increase the distance.

Da Wang used to play with slingshots, so his accuracy within one meter is pretty good. Now he focuses on training his arm and wrist strength.

While they were practicing, Sanwang would take Xiaowang to the river to swim.

Xiaowang naturally refused to go into the water. It was already the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even if it was still hot during the day, it would only feel warm. But Sanwang was not afraid. He stripped naked, put on his swimming trunks, and dived in. He even imitated the postures of divers and did some mid-air twists.

Jumping into the water, the broad river surface was unrestrained by the track, and Sanwang was free in it as if he had contracted this piece of river and pond.

The result was naturally another fierce conflict with the river's overlords - the white geese. The ducks and white geese were paddling in the river leisurely, but now they saw a boy swooping in, then slamming, banging, banging... just like Nezha making trouble in the sea, so how could they spare him?

Thus, the once familiar scene was played out again.

In the water, Sanwang only has a few options: escape by flying, escape by diving, and escape with all his might. He has no chance of a head-on confrontation at all!

As a result, the members of Shanzui Village can watch a battle for water supremacy before going to work.

Everyone laughed and said, "The champion is back. How is it out there? Our home is still the best."

Sanwang's return caused a stir in the village, and everyone came to see the champion.

When going to work, Han Yongfang emphasized, "Now our Shanzui Village has produced an Asian Games champion, and in the future it will be an Olympic champion. Our Shanzui Village Brigade is not an ordinary brigade, it is a champion brigade. So in the future, no matter what you do, you must be more proactive. Be more careful in what you say and do, and don't do anything stupid and bring shame to the champions."

The members have no idea what the Asian Games or the Olympic Games are. They only know that Sanwang is the champion, and that he is amazing. At such a young age, he is paid a salary and eats commodity food!

For the members, getting paid and eating commodity food is the best thing. There is no need to know too much.

Lin Lan packed some food and soap, and asked Da Wang to take his brothers to visit his grandmother's house and his third aunt's house and other relatives to give some holiday gifts. Now that they have a son, Da Wang took San Wang, Xiao Wang, Er Wang and Mai Sui to the soap factory to help, while Han Qingsong helped Lin Lan cook at home.

Lin Lan discovered that Han Qingsong had replaced Xiaowang as the person who was most attached to her. As long as he was not at work, he would not let her out of his sight for even a second.

This feeling... is quite novel, after all, we are an old married couple.

Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival of family reunion, and the educated youth could not go home casually. In the afternoon, when the children came back from visiting relatives, Lin Lan asked them to call Shen Yu over to join in the fun.

When Shen Yu came, Mai Sui and Er Wang asked him to learn English together, and even invited San Wang to be his teacher.

Sanwang studied one-on-one with a famous teacher in Beijing, so he naturally learned more and more accurately than they did with teachers in the countryside at home. Not to mention grammar and vocabulary, at least Sanwang's listening and speaking skills were better than theirs, after all, he was also someone who had been influenced by overseas.

Da Wang wanted to stay out of it, but Xiao Wang pulled him in.

"Brother, let's learn from you too."

Da Wang and his classmates have already started learning English, but the quality of English teaching at that time is poor. The teachers can only teach students spelling, simple grammar, and listening and speaking. After all, the teachers all speak English in dialect, so what else can you expect?

Not as good as Sanwang!

Mai Sui: "Little Third Brother, come and teach us. Let's read this one."

Mai Sui felt that what his teacher spoke was not Chinglish but dialect English, which was really irritating to his ears.

Sanwang scratched his head and said in embarrassment, "I... don't know him." The crash course English he learned was mainly for daily conversations. It would be too difficult for him to study, read newspapers, and write.

Mai Sui and Er Wang had high expectations for him.

Lin Lan also encouraged him, "Little Third Brother, you read better. We can learn pronunciation from you." Once you learn the correct pronunciation and read and speak more, your listening skills will improve. As for words and grammar, these are secondary. With a dictionary and the willingness to memorize, they are not a problem.

So everyone followed Sanwang to learn pronunciation, practice speaking, and then took turns reading junior high school English texts.

When it was Lin Lan's turn, the room became quiet and everyone turned to look at her.

Lin Lan: “What’s the matter?”

Sanwang: "Mom, have you ever been to Henry's country?"

Lin Lan waved her hands repeatedly, "What am I holding, your mother? I must be dreaming."

Sanwang was a little puzzled, "Then why do you say it so nicely?"

"I learned this from you and Xiaowang."

Xiao Wang looked confused and said, "Mom, I don't know how to do this."

Lin Lan laughed, "But you can sing. That's how I feel when I listen to you singing." She never blushes when fooling children.

Language is something that you can never forget once you learn it. The sense of language and the way of speaking are imprinted in your mind, and you can speak it almost as long as you want to. In her previous life, Lin Lan studied hard and had a good brain. She put a lot of effort into learning fluent English, and then she went abroad frequently, so her English became more and more authentic.

No wonder Sanwang was so surprised when he heard it. He felt that he and Henry were from the same place.

Han Qingsong was helping to chop the fillings for dumplings in the main room. Upon hearing this, he turned his head and stared at Lin Lan for a moment, then lowered his eyes and smiled inexplicably.

Xiao Wang looked at Han Qingsong and wondered, "Dad, what are you laughing at? Did you secretly teach Mom to speak English?"

Han Qingsong: “I can’t.”

Xiao Wang said earnestly: "Dad, if you don't know how to do it, you have to learn it. You and mom should learn it well."

Han Qingsong: “Okay.”

After learning English for an hour or so, we chopped the filling for the Korean Qingsong dumplings, and let the dough rise, and we started making dumplings together.

There is strength in numbers. Children also like to make dumplings together as a family. It is fun and a great way to bond with each other.

Shen Yu discussed with Lin Lan whether they should send someone to learn driving and maintenance techniques first since the tractor had not been approved. However, they did not know when they would be able to buy one next year, and they were afraid that they would forget it after learning it in advance.

Sanwang heard them discussing tractors and saying they couldn't buy anything. He asked curiously, "Mom, our team wants to buy a tractor?"

Lin Lan told him about the soap factory making money and Shen Yu's plan to ask the brigade for a loan to buy a tractor.

When Sanwang heard this, he smiled and said, "Mom, I'll go with you to make a call tomorrow. I know the accountant of the district tractor factory."

Last year, he picked up the food coupons from the people and gave them back. The people were very grateful to him and often visited him at school and brought him some food. Accountant Zhong also said that he loved listening to his radio broadcasts. He thought that since the people were so enthusiastic, they must not have forgotten him yet.

Lin Lan, however, did not hold out hope. After all, she and Han Qingsong both had connections in the regional revolutionary committee. Yet, they could not buy the tractor immediately because the tractor factory was not directly under the leadership of the revolutionary committee.

She asked: "There are no tractors in the district, only spare parts. Will it work if we call him?"

Sanwang: "Let's give it a try anyway. If it works, we'll make a profit. If it doesn't, we won't lose money."

Shen Yu: "You can give it a try, just in case it succeeds."

Lin Lan: "Then Xiao San brother, come with me to the commune tomorrow to make a phone call."

We ate dumplings, moon cakes and apples while the children learned English and sang songs. They had so much fun that they didn’t want to go to sleep. The party ended at 9:30.

The next day, Da Wang and his friends went to school, and Han Qingsong took his mother to Shanshui Commune in a cart.

When the news that the Asian Games champion had arrived came, the whole commune was in an uproar. Even the chef in the cafeteria ran out with a big frying pan, "Come and take a look. Wow, it's really amazing. Sanwang champion, you have to eat here at noon. Wait, I'll make you something delicious."

After saying this, he happily went back to light the stove for Sanwang.

A bunch of people came to see him and gave him something, but Sanwang didn't have time to say anything. Lin Lan patted his shoulder and told him not to worry about it and just let it go.

Han Qingsong went to do some work, while Lin Lan took Sanwang to make a phone call.

When Wang Fang saw Sanwang, she was so excited that she jumped out from the counter and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Sanwang.

Sanwang saw her coming out from the counter and thought she was doing something. He was so scared that he grabbed Lin Lan and ran away.

Lin Lan was also shocked by Wang Fang's behavior. "What are you doing?"

Wang Fang smiled and said, "I just want to get to know our son as soon as possible."

Sanwang knew he was the operator and quickly greeted him.

Wang Fang: "Oh, what a good kid, so energetic and powerful."

She looked at Sanwang. He had a shaved head, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His nose was high and straight, with a prominent nose tip. His philtrum was also clearly defined. His lips were thin at the top and thick at the bottom. His jawline was smooth and well-defined. He was really a handsome and energetic boy.

"When I was in my teens, I would want to be your wife." She said with a smile.

Sanwang: "!! Are you sure?"

Wang Fang asked seriously, "Of course you are sure?"

Sanwang: "My grandma said that being a daughter-in-law means serving the mother-in-law, cooking and washing her feet every day, and eating the worst meals. I don't think that's what a human being should do."

Wang Fang: "If I were your age, I wouldn't be afraid to wash Lin's feet and cook for him."

Lin Lan: "Hey, hey, I told you guys to stop being poor. You were just talking about our son."

She then said to Sanwang, "Son, go make a phone call. Don't be so mean to girls. You may not be able to find a wife in the future."

Sanwang: ...Why should I look for a wife? I don't need one.

Sanwang went to call Accountant Zhong.

Accountant Zhong jumped up with excitement when he received Sanwang's call, "Sanwang, is it really you? You're calling me? Oh, Asian Games champion, you're back? When did you come back? Where are you? When will you be broadcasting again? I..."

Sanwang grinned with a terrified expression and moved the receiver a little further away. After the crackling noise inside died down for a while, Accountant Zhong finally calmed down.

"Haha, Sanwang, I'm so happy. What's the matter?"

Sanwang told them that their team wanted to buy a tractor and asked if it could be done as soon as possible.

Accountant Zhong smiled and said, "Yes, of course. A batch will arrive in the next two days, including two Dadongfanghong tractors. I have applied to reserve one for the Asian Games champion team." The regional revolutionary committee may not be effective, after all, the tractor factory is not under their direct leadership.

Sanwang thanked him repeatedly and said modestly, "Uncle Zhong, there are hundreds of Asian Games champions, not just me. Please stop calling me champion. I feel embarrassed."

Accountant Zhong said with a smile: "There are several hundred in Asia, and we only have about thirty in the whole country. Of course it is an honor, I am honored, I am proud, I am proud!"

Sanwang: “…”Okay.

He found that after he won the championship, except for his family, the attitude of others towards him changed drastically. But Sanwang didn't care. Anyway, no matter how others changed, he would still be the same.

With Sanwang's help, the Shanzui Village Brigade found a tractor, and began to approve loans and raise funds. This was very easy with Han Qingsong supervising the process.

The most urgent task is to arrange people for training.

After the call, Lin Lan took Sanwang home first. They went to find Shen Yu and go to a meeting with the brigade cadres.

When they met, they couldn't help but ask about Sanwang and ask about competitions, foreign affairs, etc. In their eyes, Sanwang was all glittering and shining. He had been to the provincial capital, the capital, and the Asian Games. He was more amazing than they had imagined.

After hearing that Sanwang had taken care of the tractor issue, they felt that Sanwang was omnipotent and they just wanted to worship him.

Sanwang was so scared that he chatted for a few words and then ran away, saying that he was going to school to find Xiaowang to study.

Han Yongfang tapped the tobacco pipe on the sole of his shoe and said, "These kids are promising and great."

He glanced at Lin Lan and said, "Qingsong, my dear wife, the team thanks you."

Lin Lan smiled and said, "This is all our team's money, why are you thanking me?"

Han Yongfang: "If you hadn't educated those kids so well, they wouldn't have achieved so much, and our team wouldn't have had such good things."

For example, the soap factory was initiated by Erwang and Lin Lan, and the whole brigade has benefited from it. Now as long as there is a willingness to work in the village, there is no family that cannot afford food, and children under the age of ten can go to school.

Isn't it her credit?

Although she had never told anyone, Han Yongfang was clear-headed. Before she drank pesticides, Qingsong's wife was not active in anything. Although she was pretty, she was always making noises. After she died from drinking pesticides, she suddenly became a different person. Although she was also very fierce, it was different from making noises. She had made noises so many times before and could not solve any problems. Now, she made noises a few times and took Mrs. Han away.

Han Yongfang sometimes wondered if it was really Wong Tai Sin who was possessed? Or was it some kind of resurrection from the dead?

Han Yongfang was no stranger to this saying. When he was a child, people often said this, such as touching something dirty, a ghost appeared, stealing a corpse, etc.

He thought that Lin Lan's guess was about right, but he never said anything. If others whispered about it, he would scold them and tell them not to gossip. Who hasn't made progress?

Lin Lan had no idea what he was thinking. She said, "Then let's quickly set up a tractor team. Select a few people who are literate, hardworking, and not lazy. First, send them to the local tractor factory for training to learn how to drive and repair tractors."

Han Yonglu: "My Qingfeng is good enough. He can read, is hardworking, responsible, and has a quick mind."

Han Yongfang glanced at him and didn't express his opinion. Han Qingfeng could do it, but you as his father couldn't. You would have to get involved when the time comes.

The captain mentioned Shen Yu.

Shen Yu said hurriedly: "Captain, I don't have that much time, and...it's best to ask the members to train you."

Such an important matter should not be handed over to the educated youth, after all, they are outsiders. The educated youth are all thinking about returning to the city, finding jobs, and going to college. Few of them really want to stay. Moreover, at this time, the educated youth have been sent to the daily chemical factory and do not need to farm.

Lin Lan thought about it and helped to name a few people, one of whom was Zhuzi, who played with Dawang when he was young and also went to elementary school for two years. In addition, there was the captain's youngest son. There were four or five people in total, so it would be okay to let them all go for training to see who learns better.

Han Yongfang and a few others thought that Lin Lan's proposal was reasonable, so they decided on it.

The loan documents had been prepared long ago. Since the tractor factory had the goods, they could get the loan done in a few days. With Han Qingsong and Lin Lan in the county, there was no problem at all. The team would pay 3,000 yuan and the rest would be the loan. The interest rate was very low and it would take many years to pay it back. Everything was clear.

At the same time, we quickly sent someone to learn how to drive and repair the tractor, so that once they learn how to drive, they can just drive the tractor back.

Han Yongfang and others found that not everyone has Lin Lan's ability to learn by themselves. Some people saw that Lin Lan learned quickly and easily, and they were not convinced, thinking that they could do it too. Facts proved that it was not easy at all. Their team sent four people to learn. Driving was okay, no matter how dumb they were, they could learn it, but they couldn't repair machines. They didn't have enough brains and slow comprehension. They couldn't understand what the teacher said, and in the end they learned nothing.

So after the tractor was brought back, they had some problems that were not actually faults. It was only after Shen Yu, Da Wang, and Er Wang read the instruction manual, wrote letters to the training class teachers, and bought a tractor repair book to learn, that they finally understood the whole set of equipment. After they learned it, they taught the tractor crew members of the brigade step by step, and slowly brought them up to speed.

This is a story for later.

When Sanwang was at home, he followed Lin Lan to work during the day, doing publicity work in the commune, county, and brigade. He didn't find it annoying at all, but found it quite interesting. With a champion son following him, Lin Lan's popularity rose again, and some potential rivals disappeared without a trace.

That day, Lin Lan and Sanwang took Han Qingsong's car to the county. She took Sanwang to see the houses allocated in the county.

Sanwang looked around and said with a smile, "Mom, you still have good taste. You didn't buy that tube building."

Lin Lan: "It would be fine if the tube building was divided into two units. We can't live in one unit."

Sanwang: "Mom, why don't you move here earlier? That way it will be more convenient for you and my dad to go to work."

Lin Lan: "Just waiting to discuss it with you."

Sanwang was very happy. His parents always thought about him when he was not at home. They even discussed with him when they moved. He smiled and said, "Mom, wherever you are is my home. You don't need to discuss with me. Anyway, I am not attached to those three rooms."

Lin Lan looked at Sanwang. This child had grown up very fast after leaving home. He seemed to be naughty and playful, but in fact, his mind was becoming more and more mature. She was happy for the child's understanding, but at the same time, she felt distressed for him.

When I got home from get off work in the evening, the family discussed moving at the dinner table, and the children had no objections.

After the move, Dawang, Maisui and Erwang are still in the second grade of junior high school, and they will study at Binbei Middle School, which is not far from the family compound. Binbei Middle School is divided into junior high school and high school, so they can study in both without moving. Xiaowang started school early and is now in the fourth grade, so he can study directly in a nearby elementary school.

Lin Lan: "Then... let's move in while Xiao San Ge is at home. We'll keep this house as well, and we'll have to come back and live here from time to time."

She and Han Qingsong have special jobs and often go to the countryside. If it's too late at night, they can stay here for a night.

They took inventory and only took the kang cabinet, hand box, cooking utensils and the like. They didn't need to take the grain jars and large dining cabinets. The county had also made some household items, so they would be enough. The main reason was that the houses in the county were small and there was no room for too many things. Lin Lan didn't like the house to be cluttered.

When Han Yongfang heard that Lin Lan was moving, he discussed with the team leader and asked them to send two trucks to help transport the belongings to the county. Lin Lan declined, as the autumn harvest was not over yet and the animals in the team were very busy.

Han Qingsong thought of a solution. He called Shanshui Farm and asked them to send a driver to help make the trip.

On the day of moving, the driver drove the truck over at eight o'clock in the morning. With more hands, they quickly moved all the furniture into the truck and stuffed it with straw mats to prevent bumps.

Shen Yu said goodbye to Erwang and Mai Sui. They had been together for so long, and now they were going to the county. He was reluctant to let them go. He always felt that the distance was far and the relationship would be distant. However, he was a considerate person and rarely showed his lost emotions to affect others. After all, people always strive for higher goals. It was a good thing that Han Qingsong and Lin Lan were able to move to the city because of their excellent work.

Mai Sui and a few others also said goodbye to him. They were still inexperienced and felt that good friends were good friends. They did not think that moving to the county would create distance between them. They said that they would come back when they had time or invite Shen Yu to visit the county.

At noon, Lin Lan and her family took a truck to the county. The members of Shanzui Village had just returned from work and were standing on the road watching the truck leave.

Some people enviously said, "Look at Han Qingsong, he is really capable. It has only been a few years and his whole family has moved to the city."

"That's true. Some people work in the city, leaving their wives and children at home. When they retire, they want their children to take over. But they can't take their whole family to the city."

"I'm just lucky."

Listening to their words of envy and jealousy, Shen Yu didn't take it seriously. If he didn't see their efforts, he would think they were lucky. But in fact, whose fate is better than whose?

He suppressed his depressed mood and pushed his bicycle to go to the soap factory to get busy.

Caihua was watching the excitement from inside. She greeted Shen Yu, "Brother Shen Yu."

Shen Yu smiled at her.

Caihua walked side by side with him, looking full of longing, "Officer Lin and his men are so amazing, they can move to the city just by saying so. I have never seen anyone here who is more capable than them."

Shen Yu nodded: "Indeed."

Caihua sighed, "Brother Shen Yu, you are well-educated and should go to university. It's a waste of time for you to stay here. Zhao Mingjie went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, why didn't you go? I think you should have gone."

Her face was full of indignation for Shen Yu.

Shen Yu lowered his eyelashes, took two steps silently, and smiled again, "I have something else to do at the soap factory, so I'll leave first."

Caihua jumped on the back seat of his bike and said, "I'm going home, and it's on my way. Can you give me a ride?"

Shen Yu looked at her and hesitated. Caihua was 14 years old this year. Although she looked thin, she was still a grown-up girl. After all, he was still an unmarried young man. It would not be a good influence for a girl like her to take her through the village like this.

Caihua looked at him and said with a smile, "Brother Shen Yu, let's go."

Shen Yu: "You should come down, let's go together."

In fact, the villagers have great trust in Shen Yu's character. Even if he takes a girl with him, they will just think he is helping others and will not think too much. But for some reason, he can't help but pay attention to this. Usually, he is very careful to keep a distance from women.

Caihua's eyes rolled around, how could she not know what he was thinking? She blinked her eyes and said jokingly, "Brother Shen Yu, are you afraid that it will have a bad influence if you take me with you?"

Shen Yu: "I'm afraid people will say you're gossiping. Girls should be careful."

Caihua raised her thin eyebrows, revealing a hint of sarcasm, "Then I see that you, Lin Ganshi, Mai Sui, and Yan Yan are not paying attention to the impact, right?"

Shen Yu frowned and said seriously: "How could I not pay attention?"

"Look, you sent Yanyan to Zheng's Manor, didn't you two go together? You and Mai Sui studied together, didn't you? And you and Lin Ganshi, I saw her riding your bike several times, and she talked to you so close." She tilted her head slightly, looking at him with a smile, "Am I wrong? You think I'm ugly and you dislike me."

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, then his brows furrowed even more. He didn't expect Caihua to suddenly say such a thing.

Caihua saw him in a daze, so she leaned closer to him by the seat and whispered, "Brother Shen Yu, people's fate can be calculated. Who will be with whom is destined. Do you want me to calculate it for you?"

Shen Yu laughed, "No. I don't believe in fate."

Caihua: "That's not up to you. In fact, everyone's life..." She paused, frowned slightly, and kicked Lin Lan's family out first, "It's all predetermined. If someone told those big landlords that they were going to suffer, they would probably laugh at others for being hysterical. But you see, the big capitalists and big landlords suffered, the peasants became officials, the intellectuals went to the countryside to farm, and the uneducated became cadres. Haha, isn't it funny?"

Shen Yu stared at her, wondering why this girl was acting so weird all of a sudden. She used to be a cheerful and mature girl, but she had never been so weird every day.

"Cauliflower, don't say such fatalistic things in the future. If people hear it, they will criticize you."

"I know, it's about destroying the four olds and opposing feudalism, and that weird power... yes, weird powers and supernatural powers." Caihua said sarcastically, "I'm not afraid of that."

Shen Yu felt uncomfortable, but he didn't like to complain to anyone and would not get angry at anyone, so he found an excuse to go to the educated youth site first and said goodbye to Caihua.

Shen Yu felt that something was wrong with Caihua, and she actually tried to sow discord between him and Lin Lan's family.

She was saying that Lin Lan had such a good relationship with him, so why didn't she recommend him to go to college, but let Zhao Mingjie go instead. It must be intentional, she wanted him to stay in the daily chemical factory to help make money.

But Shen Yu didn't think so, because Lin Lan had always urged him not to neglect his studies, and Mai Sui and Er Wang were also making progress with him. Even if it was someone else, he wouldn't listen to them, not to mention that he had such a close relationship with Lin Lan's family.

But... after Lin Lan and her family left, he did feel lost, as if he had lost something and there was a void in his heart.

He knew that he was too dependent on them and had unknowingly connected himself to them. But in reality, maybe he was just being sentimental.

Anyone who is not stupid would want to get closer to people like Lin's family and want to integrate into their group. For them, having many friends does not mean they lack one.

He spent the entire afternoon alone at the educated youth site, and was not called back to his senses until the evening by Xu Dongxing.

Shen Yu said something casually and pushed his bicycle back to the daily chemical factory, where he was eating. He felt a little confused, so he didn't ride his bicycle, but pushed it slowly. When he reached a quiet corner behind the village, it was already dark, and he heard someone arguing. It turned out to be Yanyan and Caihua.

He hesitated and stopped so as not to embarrass the girl.

"Why don't you listen to me?" Cauliflower's voice was a little hysterical, but she still knew how to keep it down.

Yanyan: "Why should I change my name? My mother can remarry, but my last name is not Chang."

"If your surname is not Chang, you are not Chang Mingyan!" Caihua was anxious.

Yanyan wondered, "Why am I called Chang Mingyan? My name is Liu Yanyan."

"You...you idiot, I'm doing this for your own good!" Cauliflower said angrily.

Yanyan: "You always say it's for my own good, but I can't understand why I should go with my mother if she remarries. I'm older now, and I can earn enough money to support my brother and me. Why should I go?"

"You will regret it!" Cauliflower gritted his teeth.

Yanyan: "Caihua, you are so weird. I think we should stop interacting with each other from now on."

Even if she's just an ordinary friend, you shouldn't be friends with her? Caihua sneered, "Do you think I want to be friends with you? If it weren't for your halo as a heroine, I would have killed you long ago! If it weren't for the Cultural Revolution, and we couldn't move around freely without reform and opening up, I would have sold you to the mountains and valleys with just a flick of my finger, you blind, stupid heroine! Do you know what I did in my previous life? How dare you offend me!"

Yanyan felt that something was wrong with Caihua. Caihua's body was trembling slightly under the moonlight. His face was hidden in the darkness, but his eyes were flashing with a cold light that made people shudder.

Yanyan didn’t understand how a girl like Caihua could have such a terrifying look in her eyes. It was too scary, so she turned around and left.

Caihua grabbed her and said, "I didn't say anything. Where are you going?"

She was no longer the good sister Cauliflower. She seemed to have suddenly become a different person, cold, violent, and ruthless, making Yanyan tremble involuntarily.

"I want to go home." Yanyan tried to stay calm. "Caihua, don't be angry. I know what I did. I'm making money at the textile factory now, enough for me and my brother to eat. Thank you for your concern. I know you're doing this for my own good. But I don't want to go to my stepfather's house. My stepfather has my older brother, and they're all men, so it's not convenient for me to go there."

After hearing her say this, Caihua's expression relaxed a little, but he still held Yanyan: "You don't have to work in that broken brigade factory forever. The county will definitely recruit workers in two years. You can go to work in the textile factory. You have experience and can read, so you will definitely be selected."

Yanyan tried hard to smile, "Caihua, how is that possible? The educated youth are the first to go when it comes to recruitment. How can I have a chance?"

"If I say you have it, then you have it." Caihua became impatient again, "It will be next year or the year after next, it will definitely be possible."

Yanyan asked tentatively: "How do you know?"

Caihua: "Didn't I tell you I can tell fortunes? You're the only one who's stupid enough not to believe me."

At this time, Shen Yu came over pushing a bicycle, and they looked over when they heard the footsteps.

Shen Yu: "Didn't you go to the brigade to peel corn?"

Caihua immediately laughed, ran over, and said affectionately: "Brother Shen Yu, did you hear what we said?"

Shen Yu: "No, I was passing by and heard your voices so I came to take a look."

Yanyan also greeted Shen Yu. She came back to help with the autumn harvest. It was also during these few days that Wu Caixian remarried to Chang Fuyu.

Shen Yu: "The special liquid soap I made for the textile factory is ready in a few days and... you can take it back."

Caihua looked at Shen Yu with that look again, and walked up to him and said in a very intimate tone: "Brother Shen Yu, didn't you always send Yanyan home before? Why don't you send her home this time?"

Shen Yu's attitude towards her was significantly colder than usual. "I'm a little busy. You guys should go home early. I'm leaving first."

Shen Yu pushed the cart away, and as soon as he left, Yanyan also went home.

Cauliflower stands on a quiet path. It is a relatively remote place behind the village, with some haystacks piled up there. Some people also like to throw messy garbage behind them, which emits a moldy stench in the late autumn dew, making people's noses very uncomfortable.

Cauliflower didn't care. After all, she was accustomed to the more rotten smell. The gloom and decay emanating from the soul of her previous life made her disgusted and yearning for it.

Who doesn't like beauty and light?

But the sun doesn't shine in every corner.

Did they give her a chance?

Since she doesn't accept the toast, she can't be blamed for not giving him face.

Yanyan went home in one breath, locked the door, and went into the house and said to the cheerful Wu Caixian: "Mom, I want to discuss something with you."

Wu Caixian was used to her daughter becoming more and more opinionated and taking charge. "Yanyan, what did you say?"

Yanyan: "You go to the Chang family, and live a good life in the future, and don't worry about me and my brother. I will take him to Zhengjiazhuang and let him study there."

Wu Caixian was stunned, speechless and unable to utter a word.

Yanyan's expression was very calm. She was no longer the timid girl she was when she was little. Now she was independent, sensible, and had her own opinions. She knew that with her mother's personality, she would definitely please the children of the Chang family if she married into the Chang family, but she also protected her son in her heart. But it was hard to tell who the stepfather and stepmother were. It would not be good if the children bullied their younger brother or the mother mistreat the other children.

Therefore, the only solution Yanyan could think of was to be self-reliant with her brother, not to rely on her stepfather, and not to make things difficult for her biological mother.

When my mother and Chang Fuyu have their children, my younger brother will be even more redundant. Instead of this, it would be better for me to leave him.

Wu Caixian sat there for a while, and she actually felt relieved. "Okay."
