When Chen Yu returned home, he saw Lin Yue busy in the yard and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"
Lin Yue told him her thoughts, and Chen Yu smiled and said, "You really don't miss any opportunity. I hope your methods will be useful."
Over the next few days, Lin Yue took meticulous care of the chickens in the yard. She noticed that after her intervention, the chickens' condition improved significantly, and the number of eggs they laid also increased.
She told her neighbors the news, but they were skeptical. So, she brought a few neighbors to the yard to show them the changes for themselves.
“You see, this is the benefit of scientific chicken farming. As long as we use the right methods, we can achieve better results. It’s the same principle as educating children; as long as we give them the right guidance, they can grow up better,” Lin Yue said.
The neighbors looked on in surprise at the plump chickens and the abundance of eggs. Although they still didn't quite understand what "scientific chicken farming" meant, they saw the tangible results.
This small success strengthened Lin Yue's resolve. She knew that to change the villagers' mindsets, she had to start with these real-life examples, showing them the benefits of modern ideas and methods. She believed that with perseverance, one day the village would embrace these new ideas and move towards a brighter future.
In the days that followed, Lin Yue continued to seek out various opportunities to spread modern ideas to the villagers. She and the other educated youth organized simple activities, such as teaching children to sing and draw, and demonstrating basic hygiene knowledge to the villagers. Although she encountered many difficulties and doubts along the way, she never gave up, moving steadily towards her goal step by step.
Once, a young woman in the village fell ill, and her husband planned to consult the village's traditional healer. When Lin Yue learned of this, she rushed over and explained to them that illnesses should be treated by seeing a doctor and using scientific methods.
“You can’t consult a witch doctor; there’s no scientific basis for that. She might have contracted a virus and needs medication,” Lin Yue said anxiously.
The young wife's husband hesitated, "We've always done it this way; witch doctors can cure illnesses too."
Lin Yue patiently explained, "Some illnesses may appear to have healed, but the root cause is still there. Moreover, the methods of witch doctors may delay treatment and make the condition worse. We should trust science and seek medical treatment at reputable places."
After Lin Yue's persuasion, the young woman's husband finally agreed to take her to the village clinic. Following the doctor's treatment, the young woman's condition quickly improved.
After the story spread throughout the village, some villagers gained a new understanding of Lin Yue's views. They began to realize that perhaps this woman from the city had some truth to her words.
Lin Yue seized this opportunity to conduct a small health knowledge lecture in the village. She introduced the villagers to the prevention and treatment of some common diseases and emphasized the importance of seeking medical treatment scientifically. Although not many villagers came to the lecture, Lin Yue still explained it carefully. She knew that every small change could be a new beginning.
As time went on, Lin Yue's efforts gradually began to bear fruit. Although most villagers still adhered to traditional values, some had begun to show curiosity and interest in modern ideas. Lin Yue knew it was a long process, but she was willing to continue, bringing more change and hope to the village.
During this process, Lin Yue and Chen Yu's relationship also deepened. Chen Yu silently supported Lin Yue, accompanying her through various difficulties and doubts. In this special era, they worked hard for a common goal, and their love grew stronger through these experiences.
One evening, Lin Yue and Chen Yu sat in the courtyard, gazing at the stars. Lin Yue leaned against Chen Yu and said wistfully, "Do you think we can really change this village?"
Chen Yu hugged her tightly and whispered, "As long as we persevere, we can definitely do it. You've done a great job, I believe in you."
Lin Yue looked up, met Chen Yu's eyes, and they smiled at each other. In this quiet night, their hearts were filled with anticipation and hope for the future. They knew their journey was long, but they were not alone; together they would create a better tomorrow for this village.
