Lin Ying accepted the reward and said happily, "Thank you, thank you everyone at the forest farm for your recognition."
Fifty jin of grain coupons would be enough for Shuanzi to eat for several months. Moreover, compared to the money that was delivered, the certificate was what she really wanted.
If anyone causes her trouble in the future, just throw all those certificates at her; it could kill someone!
After the food was delivered, Lin Ying was wondering whether to invite them to stay for dinner, but they all said they had other things to do and left.
However, as they were leaving, one of the men in overalls gave Zhang Shanlin a meaningful look.
However, Zhang Shanlin was thick-skinned and didn't care about the stares at all.
Hmph, don't even think about poaching people from their army!
In fact, the factory did initially want to hire Lin Ying to work there. As for the fact that the factory was far away, they said they could arrange accommodation.
However, to my surprise, the military rejected the offer outright.
The key issue is that the reason given is particularly far-fetched, claiming that she is a military spouse and that it's necessary to ensure the safety and stability of the military rear area.
They even said that Lin Ying's food rations are currently with the military, and their situation is unstable. If Lin Ying can't develop new blueprints in the future, they will fire her, and it will be very troublesome for her to return to the military.
It's said to be because of Lin Ying's background.
So, when they decided to hire Lin Ying, they naturally did a background check. Although Lin Ying's background did have a significant impact, she was still a college graduate.
Moreover, with so many things she's invented before, who would dislike such a treasure? Even if Lin Ying runs out of ideas and can no longer provide blueprints to the factory, such a large factory will always offer her other job opportunities.
But they just won't let them go.
When they came this time, the logistics minister even followed them eagerly, clearly worried that they would talk about this with Comrade Lin Ying in private.
Zhang Shanlin certainly didn't want Lin Ying to leave, and of course, this was also Zhao Qinghuai's intention.
The main problem is that things are too chaotic outside right now. Lin Ying is very outstanding, but there are so many outstanding people, and in the end, they were all sent down for reform.
As for Zhang Shanlin, it's naturally because of Lin Ying, who is so popular. They now have a very good relationship with the farm and the forestry station, like family.
Despite their frequent visits to help them, both commanders are quite stingy, especially when it comes to providing supplies.
But things are different now. Everyone is very generous, as if afraid that they will hide their prized possessions.
After seeing off the people from the forest farm and factory, Zhang Shanlin did not leave.
"Is there anything else, Minister Zhang?"
Zhang Shanlin chuckled: "It's nothing, it's nothing. Weren't you busy just now? Keep going, is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Ying glanced at Zhang Shanlin: "If you're worried that I'll be poached by the factory, you can rest assured. You know my situation; I still have to take care of my child, and I won't put myself in a dangerous position."
Zhang Shanlin, with a righteous expression, said, "What are you talking about? How could I think that way about Comrade Lin Ying? I just came to help because I saw you were busy."
Lin Ying glanced at Zhang Shanlin again: "Help? That would be great. Then I'll have to trouble Minister Zhang."
Whether Zhang Shanlin really wanted to help or not, having someone there certainly made things much faster.
Soon, several entertainment devices were installed in Lin Ying's home.
While Lin Ying was installing it, Shuanzi, Xiaoshuai, and a few other children watched from the side. After Lin Ying finished installing it, seeing their eager expressions, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Little handsome boy, you are the kind of person who takes care of your younger brothers and sisters."
Xiao Shuai patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry."
Lin Ying had originally planned to treat Xiao Shuai to meat, but since they hadn't gone up the mountain, they couldn't. However, she didn't seem to mind: "Auntie didn't have time because she was making toys for us. I understand!"
Lin Ying was amused by his words: "Our little handsome guy is so considerate, he's such a sweetheart."
Shuanzi, standing nearby, said anxiously, "Auntie, I, I'm also considerate and a warm-hearted man."
Lin Ying couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Does Shuanzi even know what 'thoughtful' and 'warm man' mean?"
Shuanzi said, "I'm good to my aunt~ and I'm good to my aunt too."
The other children nearby chimed in, "Me too, I'm nice to Auntie too!"
Lin Ying was immediately delighted by the group of little ones.
The next morning, Xiao Shuai brought several friends to Lin Ying's house to play. Seeing that Shuanzi had playmates, Lin Ying felt relieved and took Er Ya up the mountain.
She originally thought she would have to work hard to chop firewood on the mountain, but unexpectedly someone brought her a handsaw.
With this, Lin Ying found chopping wood much easier. So, she stopped rushing to chop wood and started gathering supplies first.
At this time, many people were already busy on the mountain.
Moreover, Lin Ying saw many unfamiliar faces, presumably newly arrived military wives.
Judging from the fact that some of them are dressed very elegantly, they must come from relatively well-off families.
However, conditions here are relatively poor, and the winters are long and cold. Coal alone is definitely not enough, so even families that are relatively well-off need to collect timber here.
After greeting the people she knew, Lin Ying continued walking into the mountains.
"Hey, whoever you are, didn't they say we weren't allowed to go to the back mountain? How come this person can go?"
"We're not allowed to go to the back mountain because it's dangerous. People who aren't afraid of danger will naturally go there. If you're not afraid, you can go too."
"No, who is this person? I've never seen him before."
