The educated youth was reborn and wanted to disappear, but he was locked into a military marriage.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled bitterly: "Even if you don't tell them, they can find out easily."

In other words, Xie Chengzhi and Miao Shiwen knew the address of her medicinal materials factory, but Zhu Xiaofeng was unable to find it, so naturally they kept the secret.

I didn’t want to talk about what happened in the city, so I just asked again, “Did they do anything shameful during their stay here all night?”

Miao Shiwen couldn't help but laugh when she heard her words, and shook her head slightly: "We don't know what happened to you. We only arranged for them to stay in the courtyard for one night, but nothing happened."

After that incident, Luo Tingyuan and his son moved from the small courtyard to the outer courtyard. The house in the small courtyard was empty. Only Luo Ye often went there to practice calligraphy in the small courtyard.

After the father and son left, only some miscellaneous items were left inside, such as the broken porcelain teacup and half-flattened washbasin that the father and son had originally brought with them. The educated youth had already cleaned them up, and there was nothing left except a small table.

Nothing really happens when it is arranged there.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, feeling slightly relieved.

The next day, Meng Zihao went to the corn experimental field and saw that the corn had grown full, so he broke off two baskets and cooked them on the big stove in the brigade headquarters. Then he cut one corn into three pieces and sent them to the slope along with lunch for everyone to taste. The educated youth point sent one corn per person, but it was raw.

When Zhu Xiaomin heard that a corn cob was divided into three parts, she couldn't help laughing. She looked at the one-foot-long corn cob and nodded, saying, "One-third is not bad, but Old Meng is not afraid of being accused of being petty."

Miao Shiwen also laughed: "It's not necessarily what Lao Meng meant. The tender corn is just for the sake of freshness. The most important thing is to keep it for food. I guess Captain Xia is reluctant to part with it."

In fact, ordinary corn has been cooked and eaten after it is full of kernels, and it has also replaced part of the grain. However, Xia Dongliang has put a lot of effort into this new variety of corn and takes better care of it.

Zhu Xiaomin smiled and said, "We don't need to prepare dinner today. We can just cook corn and make some porridge."

Miao Shiwen got up and started to wash the pot and add water: "Let's cook it slowly over low heat and we can eat it when they come back."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded, gave up the stove space to her, and went over to peel corn leaves with Jiang Sao. Looking at the plump corn kernels inside, she couldn't help but say, "If Luo Ye were here, he would be so happy."

Miao Shiwen paused and looked back at her: "It's been a month since Mr. Luo and his friends went back. Have they written to you?"

Zhu Xiaomin was silent for a moment, then shook her head slightly, unable to explain how she felt.

Three years ago, she tried every means to get the father and son from the Third Brigade, just for the sake of fulfilling a thought from her previous life, and she never thought about asking for anything in return.

However, over the past three years, we have shared the joys and sorrows together, and have long regarded them as part of the educated youth site.

When they left, she didn't think too much. She just hoped that they were well and hoped to get news that everything was going well for them. That was enough.

However, it would have been fine if Luo Tingyuan kept everything to herself, but Luo Ye was obviously so close to her and didn't want to leave her, but after he left, there was no news of him anymore.

My chest felt a little tight, but more worried.

She could understand that they didn't want to look back on this ordeal and no longer contact them, but she was more worried about whether something had happened to them?

After all, it was at this time in the previous life that Luo Tingyuan got into trouble.

She didn't know whether her bringing the father and son to her side three years in advance and doing everything she could to take care of them could change his fate.

Miao Shiwen didn't know her memories of her previous life, but she understood her thoughts about the Luo family father and son. She added water to the pot, sat over, and said softly, "Although Mr. Luo is a plain person, he is actually a cold-hearted person. Little Luo Ye is not a heartless person. Maybe they had a lot of things to deal with after they returned, so they didn't have time to contact us."

Zhu Xiaomin nodded and said, "I know, but I'm worried that they might have encountered something. I don't know if there is anyone around them who they can trust, but we can't help them."

Miao Shiwen teased: "You are a life of worry. For a person like Mr. Luo, if there is no big hat to put pressure on him, what can he not solve? It is probably just a matter of time."

Zhu Xiaomin was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

Yes, Luo Tingyuan’s problem has been solved. This time he goes back, he will really be like a dragon returning to the sea. If he really encounters any problems and he can’t solve them himself, how can they help?

Understanding this helps put some of my worries aside.

Although the new variety of corn has not been harvested yet, the tasting that day has already received unanimous praise, and the only thing left is to wait for the grain elders to harvest it and count the yield.

Meng Zihao was quite satisfied with the growth of the experimental field, and took two more students back to the city, agreeing to come back when the autumn harvest officially began.

Taking advantage of this period of time, Zhu Xiaomin first contacted the commune and then the county education committee, and began to assess the educated youth who were competing for teaching positions.

Of course, this was what she did on the surface. Behind the scenes, Zhu Xiaomin talked to several old educated youth who were interested in competing and persuaded them to give up this opportunity.

With only these few people, she no longer used the argument that teachers were more suitable for female educated youth. Instead, she showed the two blank papers left by Luo Tingyuan to several people, showing each of them Luo Tingyuan's evaluation of them.

"Teacher Luo has been here for more than three years and has taught us for three years. You should know what kind of person he is. If he didn't really think so, he wouldn't give you such an evaluation. Being a teacher is good, but you are still underappreciated here. If you really want to teach and educate people, you should have a bigger space."

"Xiao Min, we also want to achieve greater things, but... I'm afraid we don't have that opportunity." Du Guoan said frankly.

"Yes! Believe me!" Zhu Xiaomin's tone was more certain than her words.

Li Mingjiang hesitated: "But...what if there is none?"

"What if there is?" Zhu Xiaomin asked back, "What if the opportunity comes, but you miss it because you already have the position?"

can you?

Several people looked at each other, still a little hesitant.

Zhu Xiaomin continued: "Although this teaching position is paid, you have to stay in the village. It will be difficult to transfer back to the city before someone else takes over here. Do you want to stay in the village forever?"

of course not!

"But..." Du Guoan hesitated and asked, "Wouldn't it be even more difficult for the food factory to recruit workers?"

Generally speaking, it is much easier to transfer teachers than workers.

Zhu Xiaomin nodded: "Yes, the same is true for food factories, so the first batch of workers we are doing now is just recruiting workers from the members."

“But after the workers comes the management,” Li Mingjiang also said.
