Although Lin Yiyi didn't like the educated youth, she didn't specifically target them. She just read too many period novels, and the educated youth in them were all a mess, so she was wary of them. Looking at the weak female educated youth in front of her, she didn't want to deal with her. She liked people with a more cheerful personality, such as Mrs. Bei in the military wife, or like Mrs. Liang, who didn't talk much but was a decent person. And this educated youth named Yu Qing, she felt that she was not very good.

Yu Qing said, "Sister Lin, your life-saving grace is greater than heaven. Please keep these things. The brown sugar can replenish your body, and the milk powder can replenish the body of the child. If it weren't for you, I would not be alive."

Lin Yiyi was about to refuse, but Xiao Shiyi said, "Don't drink the milk powder." He really didn't want to drink the tasteless milk powder. He liked to eat sweet things, but the milk powder his mother gave him was not sweet.

Yu Qing was stunned and looked at the child next to Lin Yiyi. She had been talking to Lin Yiyi before and had ignored the child. Now she saw the child and thought he was really cute. Big eyes, long eyelashes, a small mouth full of oil from eating, especially the child's white and tender, chubby face, like a doll in a New Year picture. She couldn't help but say, "This child is really cute."

When Xiao Shiyi heard that someone was complimenting him, he smiled at the other person.

Lin Yiyi shook her head and touched Xiaoyi's head. "Yu Zhiqing, my family has brown sugar and milk powder. We don't need these things. It's not easy for you to go to the countryside alone, and it's not easy to buy these things. So you should keep them to replenish your body. Don't talk about the life-saving grace. It's just a simple effort. You are weak now and your face is pale. You should go back and rest."

Yu Qing: "Sister Lin, I...I'm here because I have one more thing I want you to help me with."

Lin Yiyi raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter?" She didn't say whether she would help or not, it all depends on the situation.

Yu Qing said, "It's like this. Zhang Lan and I are good friends. We met on the train to the countryside. We became good friends on the train because we were both sent here as educated youth. We thought we could take care of each other in the village. But today when I was washing vegetables, I don't know why she... I don't know why she suddenly pushed me into the water, so... so I want to ask you to be a witness. I... I'm afraid there are people around me who want to kill me."

When Lin Yiyi heard this, her head hurt. She said, "Yu Zhiqing, I have already told the captain about this matter.

I was about to leave, but I turned back when I heard someone falling into the water. When I turned back, you were already in the water. I didn’t see whether Zhang Zhiqing pushed you, so I’m sorry. I won’t lie and be a witness about something I didn’t see. If you think it was Zhang Zhiqing who pushed you, you can call the police. I think the police will definitely be able to give you justice.”

Yu Qing said: "But...but there were no witnesses at the time, only you were there, so..."

Lin Yiyi: “I’m sorry.”

Yu Qing bit her lower lip and looked at Lin Yiyi with watery eyes, feeling aggrieved and pitiful. If Lin Yiyi was a man, she might feel pity for her, but unfortunately she is a woman. Not only would she not feel pity, she would also find this type of homosexual disgusting. After all, no woman likes homosexuals who seduce men.

Lin Yiyi said, "I'm sorry, we have to eat and go out after dinner, so we won't keep you here."

Yu Qing gritted her teeth, put down her things and ran out.

Lin Yiyi: "Yu Zhiqing, please take the things." She picked up the things and ran after him, but she could no longer see Yu Qing. She frowned, it was really troublesome, she would have to return them later.

When Lin Yiyi returned to the kitchen, Xiao Shiyi was grabbing beef fillet with his hands again. When he saw Lin Yiyi coming, he showed a flattering smile to his mother, and then handed the beef fillet to Lin Yiyi: "Eat it one by one."

Looking at his little hands, it would be impossible for Lin Yiyi to have anything to eat.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Then a steady voice sounded: "One, one, eleven..."

Lin Yiyi's eyes lit up and she hurried out: "Why are you here? Is there a boat at this time?" It was Xiao Yu who came back, but he came empty-handed.

Xiao Yu: "The troops added a boat shift, and there is something to do when we return. Have you had lunch?"

Lin Yiyi poured him a glass of boiled water: "I'm just eating. I made beef for lunch today. You really caught up."

Xiao Yu walked into the house and met his son's eyes. The child looked at him with his dark and bright eyes, and ate the beef with his little hands with relish. Seeing Xiao Yu, Xiao Shiyi's eyes brightened even more: "Dad..." His face was full of smiles, after all, he hadn't seen his father for a long time.

Lin Yiyi served Xiao Yu some rice: "Eat quickly. Fortunately, we were disturbed twice at noon. Otherwise, if you were back now, we would have already finished eating."

Xiao Yu was indeed hungry, so he ate with big mouthfuls, and poured the beef tenderloin's broth into the bowl and mixed it with rice, while asking, "What happened at noon?"

Lin Yiyi recounted what happened at noon

"That Yu Zhiqing is not a decent person. I won't bear witness to him."

Xiao Yu did not comment. He was not a woman and was not interested in such gossip. "By the way..." He took out a letter from his pocket. The letter had already been opened. "Take a look."

Lin Yiyi ate the rest of the meal in a few bites, put down her bowl and chopsticks and started reading the letter. When she finished reading the letter, she was shocked by the content of the letter, and she was also surprised that Xiao Yu would investigate this matter. The letter was about Zhang Xiaojun. She never thought that Zhang Xiaojun was framed by someone and had to go to the countryside. She never thought that Zhang Xiaojun had also framed the other party before going to the countryside. This was really mutual harm.

Lin Yiyi: "Why did you investigate him?"

Xiao Yu: "Didn't you say you were worried about him when you went home last time?" Xiao Yu also disliked Zhang Xiaojun, who was so young that he seduced his elder sister to sell blood to support his family. If the person Zhang Xiaojun seduced had nothing to do with him, he would have no opinion, but the person he seduced was his own daughter-in-law, so Xiao Yu certainly had an opinion.

Lin Yiyi: "Brother Yu, you are awesome."

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I will go to the county town later. A group of specially recruited soldiers will arrive today. There are about 20 of them. They will be sent to the island for training. After training, they will be sent to various places to take up tasks."

Lin Yiyi: "Do you still need to go and pick up this soldier?"

Xiao Yu: "Of course not. Originally, the job was taken by my subordinates, but since I hadn't been home for a month, I took it." After all, he still missed his beloved wife and son.

Lin Yiyi was very happy to hear this: "Then will you come back in the evening?"

Xiao Yu: "Will there be enough space for 20 people in the house?"

Lin Yiyi: "Bring them back and have dinner at home, then send them to the Fourth Army. The Third Army's house there is also empty. It's so hot today, it won't be a problem for the guys to sleep on the floor all night." The main reason is that this way, Brother Yu can sleep at home at night, so he doesn't have to go back to the county town to pick up these soldiers tomorrow. Not only does it take time to go back and forth, but he also has to get up early.

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi: "Then I'll prepare steamed buns for them in the evening, three large white flour steamed buns and a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup for each person, is that okay?" This is much easier, and white steamed buns are good stuff, much more convenient than cooking.

Xiao-Woo: "Okay."

It was too early to go to the county town to pick someone up. Xiao Yu planned to stay at home and play with his son for a while, while Lin Yiyi planned to go to the educated youth dormitory to return the things to Yu Qing. When they were about to leave, Qin Xiangju came: "One by one..."

Lin Yiyi: “Mom.”

Qin Xiangju came in and saw her son also eating a lot.

Surprised: "The second one is back?"

Xiao-Woo: "Mom."

Lin Yiyi said, "He's going to the county town to do some work..." She explained the reason why Xiao Yu came back, and then asked, "Mom, is there something wrong?"

Speaking of this, Qin Xiangju said, "I heard that Yu Zhiqing and Zhang Zhiqing are still related to you today?"

Lin Yiyi: "How could this happen? What does it have to do with me?" She told her story again about what happened in the morning, and also about how Yu Zhiqing came to deliver something at noon and wanted her to be a false witness.

When Qin Xiangju heard this, her face darkened: "This little girl is really cunning." Their Xiao family was considered the top family in the brigade because of the relationship with the second son's family. If the second son's wife gave this testimony to the educated youth, then Zhang Zhiqing's crime of pushing and harming people would definitely be confirmed. But no matter whether Zhang Zhiqing did such a thing or not, the second son's wife did not see it, so how could she bear false witness?

Lin Yiyi said, "That's right. I'm going to deliver something to Zhiqing Yu. Do you want to come with me, mother?"

Qin Xiangju: "Come on, I'll go with you."

Lin Yiyi: "But please don't tell me about the fake certificate. After all, you are still a little girl and you have to be shy. It won't sound good if it gets out."

Qin Xiangju: "I know, don't worry." However, Qin Xiangju didn't like this little girl. Even if the story was true, the girl's character was not good. After all, if she was exposed as a false witness, her daughter-in-law would be criticized, and she might even be criticized or detained. Thinking of this, Qin Xiangju couldn't help but worry, "Yiyi, don't let that educated youth talk you into being soft-hearted and then become a false witness."

Lin Yiyi: "Mom, don't worry, I won't go." She is not a fool.

Qin Xiangju and Lin Yiyi came to the educated youth dormitory.

Whether it is Qin Xiangju or Lin Yiyi, everyone in the educated youth dormitory knows them. It has been a month since everyone went to the countryside. Although they dare not say that they know everyone in the village, they still know some of the more important people. In particular, Lin Yiyi herself is very different from the villagers. She dresses more like a city person than an educated youth. Although they are all made of black and white fabrics, her clothes are elegant and look very artistic. Moreover, people have good skin, even city people don’t have such good skin. There are also female educated youths who have learned how to tie her hair. With half a princess head, she looks very elegant.

Therefore, there was no educated youth who didn’t know Lin Yiyi.

"Is anyone there?" Lin Yiyi spoke when they arrived at the door of the educated youth dormitory.

"Yes." A female educated youth came out.

This was the first batch of educated youth to go to the countryside. There were very few of them. Compared to the six in the neighboring Shanglin Production Brigade, there were only five here, three women and two men. The one who came out was not Zhang Zhiqing or Yu Zhiqing, but another educated youth named Lin.

When Lin Zhiqing saw that it was Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju, she smiled and asked, "Hello, who are you looking for?" Although she asked this, she remembered what happened in the morning. Yu Qing fell into the water and said that Zhang Lan pushed her. Zhang Lan said that she did not push her. Later, this incident alarmed the captain, who went to verify it. Lin Yiyi said that she did not see it. So what is this comrade Lin Yiyi doing here now? Lin Zhiqing was very curious.

Lin Yiyi asked, "Excuse me, is Yu Qing and Yu Zhiqing here?"

Lin Zhiqing: "Yes, but she fell into the water this morning and is not feeling well now. She is resting. Should I wake her up?"

Lin Yiyi said, "No, this is brown sugar and milk powder. Yu Zhiqing sent them to thank me for saving her. Please return them to her for me and ask her not to be so polite. It's more important for her to keep them for her health."

Lin Zhiqing: "This... she is asleep now, so I can't take it for her. How about you wait until she wakes up and send it over?"

Lin Yiyi: "Then I'll go in and put it next to her bed. This way, you won't be blamed, right?"

Lin Zhiqing: "Well...then come in."

The dormitory for educated youth in Datang Production Team was different from that in Shanglin Production Team. The room for educated youth Lin was very large, so three female educated youth lived in one room.

After Lin Yiyi came in, Lin Zhiqing said, "This is Yu Qing's bed, she is sleeping. This table belongs to Yu Qing, you can put it on her table."

Lin Yiyi: "Okay, thank you."

Lin Zhiqing: “You’re welcome.”

Lin Yiyi put down her things and went out with Qin Xiangju. As soon as they reached the door, they ran into another educated youth, Zhang Zhiqing. When Zhang Zhiqing saw them, he was stunned at first, then stopped Lin Yiyi and asked: "Comrade Lin Yiyi, in front of everyone, and in front of the male educated youth next door, I want to ask you something."

Lin Yiyi asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Zhiqing said, "Yu Qing fell into the water this morning and you rescued her. Later, Yu Qing told the captain that I pushed her into the water and accused me of murder and that you were a witness. Although the captain came back to verify that you said you didn't see it, people still didn't believe me. When I went out, people pointed at me. Now I want you to tell me in front of everyone, including the neighbors next door.

Us, did you see me push Yu Qing into the water? "

Lin Yiyi looked at the male educated youth in the dormitory next door, and saw several people from the village approaching. They probably saw her when she came to the educated youth dormitory, so they followed her out of curiosity. Lin Yiyi raised her voice and said, "Comrades, I don't know whether Zhang Zhiqing pushed Yu Zhiqing into the water. Only they know this. At that time, I washed the peanuts and led my son to go home. I had already turned around, and then I heard a splash, and then someone shouted for help. I let my son stay aside and jumped in to save people. So from beginning to end, I didn't see how Yu Zhiqing fell into the water."

After hearing what Lin Yiyi said, everyone was still curious: "How did the educated youth fall into the water?"

"That's right, was it Zhang Zhiqing who recommended it?"

"Yiyi, how did Yu Zhiqing fall into the water?"

"Yes, you were there, too. Tell us about it."

Lin Yiyi said: "I was there at the time, but I didn't see it. I have other things to do. There are guests coming to my house this afternoon, and I have to go get ready."

"Yiyi, I saw your man is back?"

"Yiyi, are you eager to go home and take care of your man?"

Lin Yiyi didn't feel ashamed of the joke of a farmer. She said, "He will go to the county town to pick up specially recruited soldiers. Those soldiers will go to the army tomorrow, so they will come to our house for dinner in the afternoon. I have to treat them."

"I see. No wonder your Xiao Yu came back today."

"Yi Yi is still lucky. Her husband is the head of a regiment, her brother is a soldier, and she is still a high school student. Among all the people in this area, Yi Yi is the most powerful."

"That's right. We survived the famine because of our loss."

Lin Yiyi smiled and said, "It is our country that is good and has led us to be better and better. We must believe that as the country progresses, the lives of ordinary people will also be getting better and better. Compared to the 1960s, aren't people's lives getting better and better? So, follow the country and let's live a good life together."

Qin Xiangju: "Yi Yi is right. Let's follow the country and live a good life together."

"Yes, yes, yes, follow the country and we will live a good life together."

In this day and age, one has to be careful about what one says, so Lin Yiyi could only say nice things.

After Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju left, the dormitory fell into a brief silence. Afterwards, Zhang Zhiqing said, "You all heard it. Lin Yiyi and Qin Xiangju left.

Zhi did not see me pushing Yu Qing, so please don’t spread rumors in the future. If anyone spreads rumors again, whether it is Yu Qing or you, I will call the police. People who spread rumors will go to jail.”

When everyone heard this, they no longer dared to spread rumors. Everyone was afraid of going to jail.

Yu Qing was not asleep. She lay in the room with a flash of anger in her eyes, but soon she calmed down. She would not let Zhang Lan go. Zhou Lang was hers.

Lin Yiyi returned home and Qin Xiangju returned to the old house.

Xiao-Woo: "Are you back?"

Lin Yiyi: "Well, I still have to go to the Shanglin Production Brigade and tell them about the 20 soldiers sleeping there."

Jin-Woo: "Okay."

Lin Yiyi's bicycle was still on the island, and Xiao Yu's men's bicycle was too big, so she walked there.

Lin Zhen was surprised to see Lin Yiyi coming: "Sister, why are you here?"

Lin Yiyi explained the situation again: "They can live in the homes of the Fourth Army and the Third Army. I will tidy up and make a floor for them. They will have dinner at my place. I will prepare breakfast tomorrow and have Brother Yu bring it to them. You are a pregnant woman, so you should rest more and don't need to worry about these things."

Lin Zhen: "It's nothing, it's not tiring. Compared to other wives who have to work even when they are pregnant, I am lucky. Everyone is jealous of me."

Lin Yiyi smiled.

After cleaning up Lin Sanjun and Lin Sijun's house and paving the floor, Lin Yiyi went back home. When she got home, Xiao Yu and his son were not there. There was a note on the table. Xiao Yu took his son to pick up the soldiers.

It was the first time for Xiao Shiyi to go out. He was very excited as he sat on the small chair on the front bar of his bicycle. His little head looked everywhere, from the village to the county town, without stopping.

Especially when they arrived at the train station, looking at the long train, Xiao Eleven was extremely excited: "Train...a long train." He pulled Xiao Yu to get on.

Xiao Yu said: "You can't go up now. You can only go up when Eleven grows up."

Xiao Shiyi refused and pulled Xiao Yu's trouser legs, insisting on getting in: "Take the car... take the car..."

Xiao Yu picked him up and put him on his shoulder: "Be good, don't make trouble, we are here to pick someone up."

Xiao Eleven sat on his father's shoulders, hugged his father's head, and became excited again.

After a while, a man in military uniform got off the train with 20 young people. The man in military uniform also saw Xiao Yu in military uniform. He hesitated for a moment because he also saw the little boy on Xiao Yu's shoulder. He felt that Xiao Yu was not the one who came to pick him up. So,

The man in military uniform looked away again.

Xiao Yu walked up to the other party and said, "I am Xiao Yu from the XXX unit, here to take over the team. Are you Captain Zhao Feng?"

Although Zhao Feng was surprised, he reacted immediately. He saluted and said, "Hello, Captain Xiao. I am Zhao Feng. I have been ordered to bring 20 new recruits to the army for training."

Xiao Yu said: "Follow."

Zhao Feng: "Yes... line up and march in step!" The twenty recruits had received some simple basic training before arriving, so they immediately lined up and followed.

When they got to the train station, Xiao Yu put his son on the front handlebar of the bicycle and said to the people behind him, "Everyone come to my house for dinner tonight and sleep there. The flight to the army will be at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, so we will leave for the dock at 6 o'clock."

"yes."

Xiao Yu: "I'll ride my bike in front, you guys run behind me."

"yes."

Xiao Yu rode away on his bicycle, but slowed down, and Zhao Feng led the team to follow behind. An hour later, they ran to the Datang Production Brigade. Zhao Feng and 20 new recruits were so tired that they were about to lie down, but fortunately no one was left behind, which showed that these new recruits had good physical fitness.

Xiao Yu: "Everyone, come in, this is my home, don't be polite, just be yourself."

Xiao Yu led everyone into the house and saw two large round dining tables in the yard. Each table was equipped with stools. On the tables were mung bean soup, tomato and egg drop soup, and a basket of steamed buns.

Lin Yiyi came out with a small bowl containing mung bean soup and tomato egg drop soup. She said, "Since you are all here, this is for them. If the small bowls are not enough, use the big bowls. Don't be polite." He was worried that three steamed buns would not be enough for the new recruits, so he prepared some mung bean soup.

The new recruits: “Thank you, sister-in-law.” Looking at the white steamed buns and the fragrant egg drop soup, their stomachs growled.

For dinner, each recruit had three steamed buns and two bowls of green bean soup. After dinner, Xiao Yu took them to the Lin family. Although they were both ground floor houses, Lin Sanjun's house was empty and Lin Sijun's house was occupied by only a young man, so the recruits felt quite comfortable living there.
