"So that's what happened. Actually, you two didn't need to come and talk about it. I didn't take it to heart. I was just a little surprised when I saw them yesterday.
As long as they don't provoke the educated youth in the future, I won't have nothing better to do than target them.
And I also believe that the brigade is capable of managing them and protecting the safety of the educated youth. Captain, do you think I am right? "
Yang Baiyi's attitude couldn't be described as cold, but it wasn't enthusiastic either.
"That's right, that's right. Doctor Yang, just rest assured. We will definitely do a good job of supervision. No matter whether they are working or not, they will not be allowed to approach the educated youth comrades."
Chen Baiwang knew that Yang Baiyi had chosen him. If he had not been so careless in assigning tasks last year and had not grouped those second-rate guys with the educated youth together, that incident would not have happened.
Then the two of them made assurances one after another, and Yang Baiyi no longer cared about it.
After the two left, Lin Wanru cleaned up the dishes and went to the kitchen.
After washing, Lin Wanru came and sat down next to Yang Baiyi.
"Bai Yi, actually, the captain can't be blamed entirely for that incident. He didn't expect those scoundrels to be so bold."
Lin Wanru clearly felt that Yang Baiyi had some opinions about Chen Baiwang on this matter.
"Wanru, you don't know that I don't blame the captain for what happened, because it was originally an emergency. I never thought they would be so bold.
Even if they were not assigned to the same work, they might still molest the female educated youth in other places.
There is something you don't know. When the families of those second-rate guys went to the educated youth compound to make trouble, the team leader was actually watching in secret.
It was just dark, and the scene was chaotic, so you didn't notice it."
Since Lin Wanru asked, Yang Baiyi also told him what he really cared about.
"You mean, the captain just watched them making trouble, right?"
Lin Wanru was very surprised because the captain had always been very respectful to Yang Baiyi.
"Yes, maybe he doesn't want to air his dirty laundry in public, so he's observing our attitude from behind. If we're not firm enough, he'll try to smooth things over and make a big deal out of a small matter.
It is also possible that he was a little biased at the time. Even if those second-rate guys were nothing, they were still members of his village after all, and we were just outsiders.
It seems that the reason why they respect me more and more is all because of my ability and interests.
What if I don’t know how to heal? What if I can’t hunt? Or what if I hunt but don’t share the game with the other members?”
Yang Baiyi broke everything down and said that he wanted Lin Wanru and Xiao Fuxing beside him to know that nothing is as simple and beautiful as it seems on the surface, and there is a selfish side in everyone's nature.
"I understand."
Lin Wanru and Xiao Fuxing nodded thoughtfully, and Yang Baiyi's goal was achieved.
"Grandson, you really see things clearly. This is how relationships between people are. If you're not related to me, how could someone be nice to you for no reason?"
Xiao Qingyang is a man who has experienced great ups and downs, and has seen too much human nature, the warmth and coldness of the world.
"Who cares! A gentleman judges by deeds, not by heart, and no one is perfect by heart!
It doesn’t matter why they are nice to me, as long as they are nice to me.”
Yang Baiyi was very calm. He didn't want to test human nature because human nature was the thing that could not stand the test.
A few wild boars every year would make them grateful, and these were the things Yang Baiyi had the most of.
After Chen Baiwang and Chen Dahe returned to the brigade headquarters, they specifically instructed Xue Gui to strengthen supervision and management of Erlaizi and others.
Those scoundrels suddenly realized that life at home could be so difficult.
Unless you stay at home all the time, if you go out, you will be stopped by militia after just a few steps, asking where you are going. The degree of freedom is not as high as it was on the farm.
Although they solemnly assured that they had changed for the better, it seemed that they could not change the attitude of the brigade towards them.
In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, the last day of 1972.
The little girl took the firecrackers and went out to play with her friends, while the rest of the people were making dumplings at home.
"Doctor Yang, are you home? Someone is looking for you!"
Hu Zi rushed in and shouted while standing in the yard.
"I'm at home. Who's looking for me? Why didn't I come with you?"
Yang Baiyi was a little puzzled. Who would come to see him during the New Year, and not even know the exact location of his home?
"He asked me to tell you first that his last name is Gou, and he wanted to ask if you would like to meet him.
He came in a jeep. It was my first time riding in a jeep, and it was more comfortable than my ox cart.
Hu Zi said excitedly.
"Okay, bring him here."
Yang Baiyi did not go out to greet him, nor did he deliberately go back into the house to show off. He just stood in the yard waiting for Director Gou to come.
"Grandson, is Director Gou here?"
Xiao Qingyang could hear Hu Zi's loud voice clearly in the room.
"Yes, Grandpa. I underestimated Gou Ren's fear of death. I told him that everything would be the same as before. Who knew he would come all the way from the county town on New Year's Eve?"
The roar of the engine came from far away and stopped at the gate of Yang Baiyi's house.
"Happy New Year, Doctor Yang!"
He has a slicked-back hair, glasses on his nose, a well-fitting Mao suit with a coat on the outside, and his leather shoes are polished to a shine. Who else could it be but Director Gou?
Qu Hui behind him was carrying a box of Moutai, with two packs of Zhonghua cigarettes on top.
Hu Zi helped carry a net bag containing two buckets of malted milk and a few packets of snacks.
I have to say that Director Gou is really willing to invest.
"Why did you come all the way here? And you brought so many things with you. I appreciate your kindness. You can take them back when you go back."
Yang Baiyi said with a frown.
"I'm here to wish you and your grandparents a happy new year! It's my first time here, so why would I come empty-handed?"
Gou Ren appeared respectful on the surface, but he curled his lips inwardly.
He was very familiar with Yang Baiyi's expression and tone. This was what he said when his subordinates visited him.
"Come in."
Yang Baiyi also knew that he did not come here to wish a happy new year sincerely, but since he came with gifts, there was no reason to refuse him entry.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma! Some time ago, due to our negligence at work, you suffered a lot. I came to see you today."
As Director Gou entered the room, he called out to grandma and grandpa in a natural manner. Yang Baiyi exclaimed in his heart, "What a guy!"
Director Gou looked to be in his forties or early fifties. He called Xiao Qingyang and his wife, who were only a few years older than him, grandpa and grandma, without any reluctance on his face.
It is said that a real man can bend and stretch. Although Gou Ren cannot be called a real man, his tolerance makes him a man who can accomplish great things.
"I don't deserve it! I don't deserve it! Director Gou, please just call me Comrade."
A man who was only a few years younger than him called him grandpa affectionately, and Xiao Qingyang felt goosebumps all over his body.
