While eating around the table, Xie Chengzhi said to Zhu Xiaomin, "The production here has been arranged. You should go to the city with Xudong tomorrow and go back early. We will take care of the remaining matters."

Wu Xulin, Xing Qingsheng and others also nodded immediately: "Yes, if anything goes wrong, how can we explain to Ming Zheng? It's better to go back early."

After half an afternoon, Zhu Xiaomin sorted out the things in her mind and said helplessly: "When I came here before, I agreed with Secretary Yan that he would send a car to pick me up early on the 7th. Let's stick to the original plan. There are new products from the food factory in the next two days."

Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, and the topic turned to what happened today.

Too many things happened today. First, the huge news shocked everyone, and then there was the case of those people in the Third Brigade.

Yang Aijun still felt a little scared: "Those two people climbed over the wall to get into Mr. Luo's yard. If he hadn't happened to be outside, it would have been too late by the time we found him."

Since the new educated youth arrived, Luo Tingyuan would not stay in the outer courtyard for long except for eating. In such cases, he would stay alone in the small courtyard. It was precisely because of today's news that made him relax. Knowing that he would not implicate the educated youth again, he stayed in the front yard to talk to people, and he actually escaped.

Wu Xulin also nodded slightly: "Now Teacher Luo doesn't have to worry about getting us into trouble. He doesn't have to go back after his injury heals. He can just live in the outer courtyard so that everyone can take care of him."

Luo Ye grew up living in a cowshed for seven years. Not only was the condition poor, but he was also under constant surveillance. The best time for him was living in that room. The conditions were one thing, but he finally didn't have to be watched no matter what he did. He was a little reluctant, but worried about his father's safety. He pouted and muttered angrily, "Those bad guys are so bad!"

Zhu Xiaomin touched his head with a smile, calculating the time in her mind.

In the previous life, Luo Tingyuan’s problem was solved in July or August of 1978. So it seems that they can go back in less than a year.

In her previous life, she didn’t know whether anything happened between the Luo family father and son on that day, or whether the changes were triggered by their encounter with Fang Qing. She only knew that after Luo Tingyuan passed away, Luo Ye grew up to be very withdrawn.

Fortunately, everything is getting better now.

As they were talking, they heard the closed courtyard door being pushed open with a bang. Fang Qing walked in quickly, glared at Zhu Xiaomin with a pale face, sneered a few times, strode in, and whispered to her as she passed by: "You are so vicious."

Zhu Xiaomin didn't even look up, and didn't even stop holding the chopsticks. He slowly replied: "Good deeds will be rewarded, and those in the gutter should be careful of their dreams at night."

"What did you say?" Fang Qing turned around quickly.

Zhu Xiaomin turned her head to look at her, biting her chopsticks and laughing: "Fang Qing, do you know what those people said before they died?"

"What did you say?" Fang Qing was full of doubt. After she said it, she realized something and immediately sneered, "What does it have to do with me? You let more than a dozen people die like this. Aren't you afraid of having nightmares?"

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and spoke more slowly: "What am I afraid of? I didn't ask them to come to the educated youth camp, and the sentence was also made by the presiding judge. I am only stating the facts and seeking justice. No matter what, they can't find fault with me, don't you think?"

Yang Aijun also looked up at her: "Fang Qing, what does the death of those dozen people have to do with you? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

Fang Qing's face turned pale and blue, and after a while she gritted her teeth and said, "Just because you don't care about more than a dozen lives doesn't mean others will do the same as you."

"Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor, and good and evil will be rewarded." Zhu Xiaomin still smiled calmly, "Fang Qing, from today on, the ones who can't sleep will definitely not be us."

Fang Qing glared at her hatefully and shook her head: "Don't be too proud too soon." She turned around and strode into the inner courtyard.

In the next two days, Zhu Xiaomin still asked Luo Ye and Jiang Sao to help. They first boiled sugar in the pot and added ingredients, then wrapped several different nuts in sugar, let them cool and sliced ​​them into snacks. The educated youth ate and commented on them. They picked the best ones and asked Luo Ye to write down the steps one by one. He then gave them together with the nut cakes made before to the educated youth to take to the food factory for trial.

After that, Chen Xudong will send the nuts to the supply and marketing cooperative for trial sales. If feasible, he will mobilize the nuts to each team to increase production.

Zhu Xiaomin no longer needed to worry about these things and packed up her things to return to the city.

But on the afternoon of the 6th, not long after the school was over, Song Zhian and others who were in class took buckets to fetch water, and saw Huang Xiaojuan and Xu Xiaogang hurried over. When they saw Zhu Xiaomin, they immediately said, "Xiaomin, you should leave quickly. We will leave right away."

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiaomin was surprised.

Xu Xiaogang immediately said, "Teacher Zhu, the people from the Third Brigade said they want to stop you and make you pay for the lives of those dozen people."

"What?" Yang Aijun, who stayed at home to recuperate, jumped up suddenly, his face turning ugly.

Mrs. Jiang was also surprised and said quickly, "I'll go pack my things right away."

Luo Ye also called out, "Sister Xiaomin."

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned for a moment, then shook her head slightly to stop him: "Xiaogang, what did you hear? Tell the teacher everything."

Xu Xiaogang said, "Just now after school, when we were leaving the village, Xiao Liuzi from the Third Brigade whispered to me that the dozen or so families were going to hold a funeral tomorrow, and they were going to carry the coffins to block your way."

Yang Aijun was frightened when he heard this, and immediately said, "Xiaomin, you leave now. I'll go find Xudong and ask him to get a tractor to take you to the county. You can take the long-distance bus back to the city tomorrow morning." Then he walked out.

"Aijun!" Zhu Xiaomin called him and shook her head slightly. "Think about it, how could a child know about such a thing? And he is a child who attends classes here. If I leave now, I will be easily blocked."

Yang Aijun stopped walking out, turned around and looked at her, unable to help but hesitate.

Yes, no matter what, the county car will come to pick us up tomorrow. If something happens then, there will be people from the county to talk to. But if they use the team's tractors to leave now, what if they get robbed on the way? There are only three of them. How can they deal with it?

Huang Xiaojuan's expression also changed. She lowered her head and asked Xu Xiaogang, "Xiaogang, is that Xiao Liuzi usually on good terms with you? Why did he tell you this?"

Xu Xiaogang thought about it and nodded: "Xiao Liuzi usually plays with us. He said... he said Sanniuzi told him so he told me."

Three cows!

Zhu Xiaomin immediately thought of the child who yelled and cursed at Luo Ye at the school gate when the school was first built. She frowned and shook her head and said, "That's even more unbelievable."

Luo Ye nodded immediately: "San Niuzi wouldn't be so kind."

Yang Aijun felt cold sweat on his palms, frowned and said: "Then...what if they block the road again tomorrow?"

Just think about those dozen coffins placed on the road, no car can pass by.
