Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

After returning to the village, the two men remained silent. After saying goodbye to each other briefly, they went home.

As soon as Zhang Yun got home, Feng De came to the door.

"Brother Yun, we want to go to the county to visit a patient tomorrow. Can you lend me a bicycle?"

"Okay, will both of you go, or will all of you educated youth go?"

"It's just the two of us going. I asked Shen Qingqing and the others, but they're not going. It's inconvenient for Bai Hua to go, and she can't borrow a car for the time being."

"Is that so? You can talk to the captain. If there are too many people, you can let the mule go. But they may not be able to return on the same day."

"They went, and that's why they didn't go."

"Then you two can ride my bicycle. I'll use Congcong's tomorrow. The bicycles in the village have also returned in the past two days. It will be more convenient for you educated youth to use bicycles."

"Thank you, Brother Yun, let's set off together tomorrow."

Zhang Yun thought about what happened today and agreed, "Okay."

The next morning, Yu Congcong was worried and slept restlessly, so she got up early without her grandmother calling her. Xiaocao looked at Yu Congcong curiously and asked with concern, "Congcong, what's wrong with you?"

"Grandma, it's nothing. Can I have breakfast now?" Yu Congcong answered calmly. She didn't tell her family about what happened yesterday, fearing that they would worry.

"Okay, eat it!" Xiaocao handed the porridge and eggs to Yucongcong.

"Grandma, you and Aunt Liu should rest at home today and don't go to work."

"What's wrong?" Xiaocao didn't understand why Yu Congcong said that.

"No, I just wanted to let you have a rest after the summer harvest." Yu Congcong was a little worried about the safety of her family, but she didn't want to tell them so as not to worry them.

"Oh, it's okay. Your aunt Liu and I are just doing light work. We are just weeding the cornfield. It's not any heavy work at this time. Don't worry, grandma knows her limits and will rest when she is tired." Xiaocao thought that Yu Congcong was worried that they were exhausted, and she felt very happy.

"Congcong, get up. Have you finished eating? Today, I will ride your bicycle. I have lent my bicycle to Feng De and Hou Bao. They want to go to the county to visit Comrade Su." Zhang Yun came to Yu Congcong's house after breakfast.

In the county hospital, Su Ting had been staring at the ceiling of the ward since she woke up yesterday afternoon. Her obsession and faith collapsed overnight, and she didn't know how to react.

Yuan Zhe was always there to comfort him. He gave all his patience to Su Ting.

"Tingting, what are you thinking about? You can't keep doing this. If something happens to you, your grandfather will definitely not be able to hold on. He only has you and Brother Heng as his relatives. Do you want him to have no support at all?"

Every time Yuan Zhe mentioned his grandfather, Su Ting would look at Yuan Zhe blankly.

"Besides, do you know that what that woman said is true? Do you know what her purpose is? You are willing to die for what she said. If she is an enemy, then this is what she wants." Yuan Zhe's advice was not sure if it worked. This morning, Su Ting returned to normal.

"Let's go!" After getting ready, Yu Congcong got on the back seat of the bicycle.

Zhang Yun and Yu Congcong met up with Feng De and Hou Bao at the entrance of the village, and the four of them headed towards the town together.

When the four of them were heading to the fork in the road leading to West Village and the town, they discovered that there were a few more strangers on the road.

Zhang Yun turned his head and looked at Yu Congcong, both of them had serious expressions.

The four of them didn't stop and went straight to the town.

Arriving in town, Yu Congcong went to work.

Zhang Yun went to the black market warehouse.

Zhang Yun called his brothers and asked about the situation of the town supply and marketing cooperative.

Sister Wang was unwilling to help sell the newly found soy sauce, and ended up offending the manager and being fired.

The new soy sauce vendor that the supply and marketing cooperative found was from Xicun. What a coincidence, that was even more problematic.

Yesterday, when Yu Congcong called Zhang Yun, he was right beside him. He was afraid and didn't dare to let his brothers go to Xicun again, fearing that they would be discovered and cause unnecessary trouble. Since the order from the town supply and marketing cooperative could not be recovered, he could only try his best to find a new supply and marketing cooperative to cooperate with.

In the current situation, the soy sauce produced in the village cannot meet the supply demand of so many supply and marketing cooperatives. However, considering that the situation of the town supply and marketing cooperative may happen again, it is better to find as many supply and marketing cooperatives as possible. It is better to limit the supply than to have surplus.

Yu Congcong had just arrived at the office today when the guard came to tell her that someone was looking for her. Yu Congcong walked out the door and saw a handsome middle-aged man in military uniform standing at the door. Yu Congcong thought for a moment, isn't this Huang Sheng, the nephew of Uncle Huang?

"Brother Huang Sheng, did Uncle Huang send you here?"

"Well, you have to call me uncle, not brother. I've told you so many times."

"If I call your eldest uncle 'uncle' and you 'uncle', wouldn't that mess up the generations?"

"That's not your problem." Huang Sheng replied unhappily.

Whenever this was mentioned, he got angry. He was the same age as Yu Dazhuang, but for no reason he was a generation lower than him.

"Brother Huang Sheng, business is more important."

"Hmph, let's go talk in the car. This matter is extremely important. It's a task assigned to me by your Uncle Huang."

Yu Congcong saw a military jeep parked outside the door, so he followed Huang Sheng and got in the car.

Everyone in the car is a familiar face.

"Niece, what new discoveries have you made this time?"

These people were in the same camp with Yu Congcong's father, were under Uncle Huang, and were considered comrades-in-arms with Yu Dazhuang. Every time they met, they called Yu Congcong "niece". No wonder Huang Sheng was angry.

Yu Congcong began to tell the gossip she heard from Xiaoling yesterday morning.

"I was just curious, so I took a serious look at Zhang Mai's appearance. I felt a sense of familiarity, so I looked up Cuihua's appearance in my mind for comparison. They do have some similarities, and I thought about it for an afternoon, but I was still not reassured, so I went to Xicun to check it out. That cousin can be said to be 80% similar to Cuihua. This morning, there were many strangers who I didn't usually see at that intersection. I may have alarmed the enemy." As he spoke, Yu Congcong's voice became smaller and smaller, with a little self-blame, blaming himself for his carelessness.

"It's not your fault. If you don't investigate, you won't be able to determine the truth."

"Yes, niece, the captain is right. You don't have to blame yourself."

"Shut up!" Huang Sheng became furious when he heard the name "niece".

When the teammate saw the captain's expression, he realized that it was his calling him "niece" that annoyed him.

"You don't have to worry about what happens next. There must be a lot of fish in this matter. Some officials in the town may not be clean either. You should be more careful and don't let anyone know that it was you who exposed this matter." Huang Sheng firmly believed in Yu Congcong's trouble-making nature.

"Got it. Brother Huang Sheng, you guys should be careful too."

"Don't worry, niece. Your uncles will be careful." The comrade-in-arms continued to tease Huang Sheng fearlessly.

Yu Congcong opened the car door and got out. Huang Sheng and his friends watched Yu Congcong walk into the town government gate before driving away.
