Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"If everyone remains silent, I will take this as your agreement. Now let's talk about the form of reward. Let Accountant Fu speak."

After saying this, the captain sat down and took a big sip of water.

Fu Yan stood up and took the loudspeaker from the captain.

"Our brigade cadres have discussed it and decided not to distribute it this time, because the village also needs to buy farm tools. Starting from the autumn harvest, all those who have made contributions to the village, those who are the most active and advanced in working, and those who have generated income for the village will be distributed according to their proportion. Do you understand?"

Those who were positive and motivated all nodded to show that they understood.

Those who are lazy and slack will be unhappy.

"Captain, this is unfair. We, the old, weak and sick, can forget about getting industrial tickets," said a young man.

"Bah, young prince, who are you referring to as the old, weak, sick or disabled? You yourself?"

"Yes, you are flattering yourself too much. How can you be considered old, weak, sick or disabled?"

"Yes, are you sick or disabled?"

After a group of women greeted him, Wang Xiaozi shut up.

"Captain, we have no objection." Most of the villagers are sensible people and are not lazy or evasive.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting." After these words were spoken, everyone walked towards home in twos and threes.

"Hey, your family still has some hope. The man in your family won the first prize in the summer harvest. I think there is no hope for me to buy a thermos." A woman said with a sigh.

"There's still half a year left. If I work hard in the second half of the year, maybe I can get it."

"Hopefully!"

In Yu Congcong's home, Yu Congcong and Zhang Yun were carrying piles of books into the house.

"CongCong, what do you want these books for?"

"I want to sort out these precious books and hide them away."

"Congcong, this is a bit dangerous."

"What's dangerous about it? Didn't you say that I wouldn't tell anyone? Who would know? Will you report me?" Yu Congcong opened her eyes wide and looked straight at Zhang Yun.

Zhang Yun felt a little embarrassed when being looked at, but he still quickly shook his head.

"No, if Congcong is discovered, just put the blame on me."

"We won't be discovered, don't worry." Yu Congcong was still very confident about her own safety. She still had the system. The system needed her to complete the task and would definitely not harm her.

"Host, thank you. You finally believe that I can keep you safe." The system rolled excitedly in Yu Congcong's mind.

"Don't get carried away. Get to work and find a place to hide this ancient book."

"Okay, host, I'll go find it right away."

"Let's find a place closer this time. I want to handle it alone and can't let others know. Tiezhu is not an option either. Many of these ancient books have been labeled as rightists. They are too dangerous. They are much more serious than the antiques last time." Yu Congcong emphasized to the system in her heart.

"Ok."

"Brother Zhang Yun, is there anything you want? I'll pick it out for you." Yu Congcong said to Zhang Yun.

"I don't need them. I don't understand them. Just find something that Yaya can use."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work! I can handle it myself."

After Yu Congcong drove Zhang Yun away, she started to tidy up the place herself.

Zhang Yun walked out of Yu's house and headed back home. On the way, he ran into Fu Yu's wife who was returning from a meeting.

"Accountant sister-in-law, you are going home." Zhang Yun greeted politely.

"Yes, Zhang Yun, where are you going?" Fu Yu's wife asked.

"I'm going home." Zhang Yun replied.

"Zhang Yun, you are not young anymore. Have you ever thought about finding a wife?" Fu Yu's wife asked.

"Ah! Well, let it be! I want to wait until my sister grows up a little bit." Zhang Yun showed a shy expression.

"Your sister is fine. She won't hinder you from finding a partner. I have a candidate here, the second girl from the Lin family. Please consider her." Fu Yu's wife finished her words in one go.

Wang Shan's request to her was very troublesome. She didn't know how to act as a matchmaker and had no chance to ask. Today she happened to meet him and there was no one else around, so she asked immediately.

The Lin family moved to the village to escape famine. At that time, there were seven people in the family, an old couple with two sons. The eldest son married Wang Shan and gave birth to two daughters. Now there should be more than ten people in the family! This family is somewhat patriarchal, especially the old woman, who treats her granddaughter as a maid.

Zhang Yun didn't want to have anything to do with such a family. So, he politely refused, "Accountant sister-in-law, I already have someone I like."

"Who is it? I don't see you getting close to anyone?" Fu Yu's wife asked suspiciously.

"I'm pursuing her, but she hasn't agreed yet, so it's hard to say." Zhang Yun lowered his head and answered embarrassedly.

"Is that so? Then just pretend I never said anything." said Fu Yu's wife.

She also felt a little embarrassed, because Wang Shan had come to her house to beg for help. To be honest, she felt that the second girl of the Lin family was not worthy of Zhang Yun at all. Although she was pretty, she was too dull because she was suppressed by her old lady.

When Zhang Yun heard Fu Yu's wife say this, he quickly ran away.

After Fu Yu came back, his wife told him about this. Fu Yu smiled and said, "He has someone he likes."

"You know too? Who is the person he likes?" Fu Yu's wife asked curiously.

"This matter is not that simple. I won't tell you to avoid gossip." Fu Yu joked to his wife.

Fu Yu's wife didn't insist any more and stopped asking.

Ding-ling-ling, the crisp sound of a bicycle bell suddenly rang in the yard. At this time, Yu Congcong's family was sitting around the dining table eating.

Hearing the sound, Liu Dani hurriedly put down the bowl in her hand and quickly walked out of the kitchen.

Feng De pushed his bicycle and stopped at the door, looking a little lonely.

When Feng De saw Aunt Liu, he said with a slightly disappointed tone: "Aunt Liu, I'm here to return the bicycle."

"Oh, Feng Zhiqing, you are all back? Is Su Zhiqing okay?" Liu Dani asked with concern.

"Aunt Liu, Su Zhiqing is in hospital. Hou Bao and I are back." Feng De replied softly.

"Ah, hospitalized? Is it serious?" Liu Dani asked in surprise. In the minds of the villagers, hospitalization means a very serious, nearly fatal illness.

"It's nothing serious. I've already had the surgery. I just need to rest well and I'll be fine."

"That's good. I guess you haven't eaten yet! Let's leave the car here and go back quickly. We've had a tiring day."

Liu Dani took the bicycle and couldn't help but sigh. Feng De glanced at the kitchen door, but no one came out. He was reluctant and turned around and walked back slowly.

"Congcong, get up quickly, you have to go to work today." Xiaocao walked into her granddaughter's room quietly and gently pulled Yu Congcong who was lying in bed.
