Chapter 2: The daily check-in task involves showing off wealth in front of the female lead.
Yin Xiaoyin took a metal train to the countryside.
She didn't have to worry about anything along the way, but the couple were still concerned, so Yin Haiqiang took a day off to take their daughter to Hongye Village.
"If anything happens, write to your parents. If you need anything, tell us, okay?"
Yin Haiqiang kept repeating this.
He has a face that looks like he's scheming and not to be trifled with, so why is he so long-winded like Tang Sanzang?
Yin Xiaoyin had already lost her temper with his nagging, so she closed her eyes to rest and checked the timeline of this period romance novel.
The article describes her going to the countryside as follows.
"Yin Xiaoyin has disliked Yin Wenying since she was a child, so she went to the countryside with the help of her family in order to see Yin Wenying make a fool of herself. She was not afraid of hardship because her family took care of her."
"Plot check-in task: Go to the countryside to mock the female lead, and flaunt your wealth in front of her. To be completed."
Yin Xiaoyin felt that the task wasn't too difficult...
Red Leaf Village.
The Yin family father and daughter arrived in Qingcheng County by train and waited at the station entrance for the people from Hongye Village to pick up the educated youth. Yin Haiqiang was a little worried: "Daughter, I just asked, and the post office in Qingcheng County is quite far from Hongye Village. When we get to the educated youth settlement, ask someone to help you pick up your things. Your parents will send you extra, so you can decide how to distribute them..."
"Dad is so good."
Yin Xiaoyin praised him with bright eyes.
"Write to us after you finish the White Rabbit candies, Golden Rooster biscuits, and candied dates in the suitcase. Don't be stingy; it wouldn't do if you got too thin from hunger..."
This feeling of being pampered by her parents was both relatable and novel to Yin Xiaoyin.
Several people dressed in Zhongshan suits brushed past the Yin family father and daughter. Just then, a group of people on bicycles rushed over. In their haste, one of the men scattered the blueprints he was holding onto the ground.
One of them landed at Yin Xiaoyin's feet.
With no luggage to carry, Yin Xiaoyin bent down and picked it up. Her gaze swept over it, and she unconsciously frowned slightly.
"Thank you, comrade."
Those people were in a hurry, so they collected the blueprints and left.
Yin Haiqiang, who was most concerned about his daughter, asked, "What's wrong?"
Yin Xiaoyin said to Yin Haiqiang, "It seems that one piece of data in their machine tool drawings is not very accurate. If we manufacture according to this data, there will be problems with the deviation of the parts."
Yin Haiqiang hurriedly looked around, and only when he found no one paying attention did he lower his voice: "You've always been smart, Dad knows you're talented. Have you forgotten your promise to your uncle that you wouldn't touch these things before he came back? Then all the suffering and hardship your uncle endured for you has been for nothing..."
When Yin Xiaoyin was young, she was playing in the Liang family's study when her uncle Liang Dewen was struggling with some precise data. She actually figured it out using her little abacus.
They displayed exceptional talent.
This greatly shocked Liang Dewen, who couldn't help but exclaim with joy, "My Liang family has produced a genius!"
Later, he personally took Yin Xiaoyin under his wing and taught her. Yin Xiaoyin surpassed her teacher, and she always had a way of thinking about many scientific research data that Liang Dewen struggled with.
Liang Dewen was initially extremely pleased with himself...
But one day, he came home looking unwell and repeatedly told the Liang family that Xiaoyin's help in deducing data on an important aircraft part had been targeted by someone who thought the research results were his doing.
If anything happens to him, he must not reveal Xiaoyin's unusual behavior to anyone. He will make arrangements until he returns home. If he does not return, the girl can make her own choice when she comes of age.
He even squatted down solemnly and made a pinky promise with thirteen or fourteen-year-old Yin Xiaoyin.
Not long after, Liang Dewen mysteriously disappeared. The country investigated this important research talent for a long time and finally found out that Liang Dewen had been kidnapped by the United States. When the country condemned the negotiations for his return, the United States blatantly acted like a rogue and openly detained Liang Dewen.
Yin Xiaoyin lowered her head and turned her toes.
Yin Haiqiang patted Yin Xiaoyin's head: "Xiaoyin, you are very important to your parents. Your parents can't even imagine how crazy we would go if we lost you."
Those people are everywhere, and he only hopes that before Xiaoyin comes of age, she can be as ordinary and happy as other children.
Suddenly, a local accent rang out: "Comrade, this is Lao Wu. Are you one of the educated youth going to Hongye Village? Hurry up and get on the bus."
With a loud bray, the donkey swished its tail, and the animal's natural odor wasn't very pleasant.
Yin Xiaoyin saw that her father seemed hesitant to speak to her, probably worried that she couldn't handle the hardship. But she wasn't having any of it and sat down excitedly.
He even praised him while chatting with Uncle Wu.
"Wow, that's amazing! A donkey can be so obedient?"
In the interstellar age, everything has become mechanized, and such vibrant animals are no longer seen.
"This is my old buddy, it understands everything I say."
Uncle Wu, who was rushing to catch the carriage, laughed.
Seemingly sensing Yin Xiaoyin's affection, when they arrived at the educated youth settlement in Hongye Village, the donkey even nuzzled her with its head.
Yin Haiqiang tapped her forehead in an annoyed tone: "I was worried about you for nothing."
Yin Xiaoyin observed that this place was different from Qingye City. Qingye City still had some multi-story buildings, while the villages were all mud houses, some of which looked dilapidated.
As soon as she stepped into the gate of the educated youth settlement, she met the main target of her mission, the female protagonist Yin Wenying.
The girl was about eighteen or nineteen years old. She had two braids and had carefully pinned a few wildflowers to the ends of her hair. She had some freckles on her face and looked capable and neat. She had a round face and big eyes, which was very much in line with the aesthetic standards of the time.
She very naturally stepped forward to help take the suitcase: "Xiaoyin, what brings you here?"
Yin Haiqiang dodged his niece's hand and said indifferently, "Didn't you write home saying that you had no one to talk to here, so Mom signed Xiaoyin up to go to the countryside?"
This is truly infuriating. They ruined a girl who was being pampered by others, sending her to the countryside.
"Ah, this, I don't know..."
Yin Wenying's pupils dilated in shock, and she said anxiously, "Grandma has misunderstood me. I just... I just... How did things turn out like this? You came here unwillingly, and the work in the village is very hard. Why don't you... why don't you try to go back..."
The educated youth who had just finished work gathered around curiously. Yin Xiaoyin was quite innocent in this situation. Although the educated youth sent to the countryside were admired in this era, they were also guided by their own conscience.
They looked at Yin Xiaoyin again. How could someone who was so unwilling to go to the countryside support the great rural development work?
Yin Xiaoyin glanced at Yin Wenying with a half-smile and said softly, "Cousin, don't be like that. My dad is just angry that you made the decision for me. I had already applied to the neighborhood office to go to the countryside. Anyway, my family spoils me, so even if I go to the countryside, I won't have a bad life."
"By the way, these are White Rabbit candies. They won't keep well in this hot weather, so please help me use some up."
Yin Haiqiang casually opened a box: "There are some snacks inside. Help Yinyin eat some to make room for her, so she can put her things away later."
"Yinyin, you have a lot of things. Leaving them outside is bothering others. You can tidy them up and put them inside."
Yin Xiaoyin obediently replied, "Dad, I know. I was just having a headache and nowhere to put my head..."
This is blatant flaunting of wealth. In this day and age, most people probably can't even afford to eat, let alone have seen so many snacks. Yet someone casually gives away a whole box of them to make room for others.
Yin Xiaoyin exclaimed, "Cousin, why are your eyes red? Are you envious?"
A notification popped in her ear: "Story mission completed successfully. Congratulations on receiving a bowl of Lao Tan Pickled Cabbage Beef Noodles."
Yin Xiaoyin nearly stumbled.
It's better not to give this reward!
It would be better to just give her a lubricant for an arm machine!
Even if it's human food, would you really give a beggar a bite of it?
She gave Yin Wenying a haughty snort: "I want to stay in this room, Dad. I'll go pack my things."
Since men and women lived separately in the educated youth settlement, Yin Haiqiang naturally couldn't enter the female educated youth's rooms.
He then explained in detail: "You'll need someone to help you with the mosquito net. Does anyone know who's willing to lend a hand?"
Some girls, snapping out of their reverie from the snacks in the box, were surprised to see the previously arrogant girl with such a pitiful expression. Their hearts skipped a beat; they didn't know that this was called "gap moe" (a cute contrast between a girl's appearance and her personality).
They all readily agreed, saying, "I'll help."
Yin Wenying was instantly pushed aside.
