Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"No, it won't hurt me. You forget that my intuition is very accurate."

"Well, I didn't forget, but I can't guarantee that you won't get hurt. Your fighting power is too poor." Tiezhu warned worriedly.

"Dad, how long will this business trip take?" Yu Congcong asked Yu Dazhuang.

After Yu Dazhuang made contributions in flood relief, he was directly transferred to the county's armed forces department. Because of his leg injury, he could not go to the front line, so he was assigned to the logistics department to prepare supplies for the army. He was often on business trips and was often not seen.

"I'll probably be back the day after tomorrow. It's the summer harvest, and we have to collect rice too."

"Well, Miaomiao can hardly remember what Dad looks like."

"Well, this time we should wait until after the summer harvest, when the grain is delivered to the warehouse."

"Well, there are mosquitoes. Let's go back to sleep! You have to go to work tomorrow." Yu Congcong said softly while raising his hand to slap the mosquitoes on his body.

"Yeah, Congcong." Tiezhu suddenly pulled Yu Congcong into his arms.

"What's the matter?" Yu Congcong blinked her big eyes and asked Tiezhu in confusion.

"Congcong, will you leave me?" Tiezhu has been feeling inexplicably uneasy these days, and at this moment he finally couldn't help but ask.

"What are you thinking! As long as you don't abandon me, I will never leave you." Yu Congcong comforted her gently.

"Well, how could I abandon you!" Tiezhu took a few deep breaths and tried to adjust his emotions.

"Come on, I'll take you home, and then I'll go back."

The night gradually became darker, and a bright moon slowly rose. The bright moonlight sprinkled down, stretching the shadows of the two people long, painting a beautiful and warm picture on the ground.

Widow Wang's house, "Aunt Wang, are you busy?" Su Ting followed Yuan Zhe's footsteps back to his current residence with empty hands. He saw Widow Wang sitting on a small stool, concentrating on picking peppers. Su Ting hurriedly called out to her.

"Well, you've come back with the food. How much did each of you get? Was it rice or paddy?" Widow Wang asked as usual.

"30 kilograms of rice per person." Su Ting answered without concealing anything, and found a small stool and sat opposite Widow Wang.

"Well, 30 kilograms is a lot. A few days ago, the educated youth in the neighboring village only received 20 kilograms of rice each, and the team leader even asked them to return the rice bran to the team to feed pigs." Widow Wang said, and she deftly poured the collected peppers into a jar one by one.

"Oh, what about the subsidy from above?"

"I don't think so. They said that they had all been used to build a youth home. You are lucky to be able to come to our village. The village cadres in our village were all elected through democratic voting. They are not like other villages where they are all arranged by the higher authorities and there are nepotism among them."

"Oh, then why hasn't there been any arrangement for our village?"

"At first, they thought we were poor! We had no money and our place was remote, so they didn't bother to care about us!" Widow Wang said with a little contempt.

“Why are you so rich now?”

"Haha, that's because we have technology that is not available in the surrounding villages or even the whole county."

“Oh, soy sauce?”

"You're quite amazing. You found out right after you got here."

"I didn't ask about it. The captain just said that we can also learn how to make sauce."

"What? You guys are doing it too? How can this Gangzi be so honest? No, I have to go and talk to him." Widow Wang put down the work in her hands and ran out in a hurry.

"Tingting, what do you want to do?" Yuan Zhe looked at Widow Wang's departing back and turned to Su Ting and asked.

"I didn't do anything. I just told the truth." Su Ting spread his hands helplessly and shrugged.

"Oh, then should we cook by ourselves or eat together at Aunt Wang's house?" Yuan Zhe continued to ask.

"Let's separate! I'm afraid I won't get used to their living habits." Su Ting thought about it, and recalled the actions of Widow Wang wiping her sweat with her sleeves and then wiping her hands on her clothes. It's better to start the fire yourself. If you don't know how to do it, you can learn it slowly. You will get used to it in the future.

"Okay! Then let's separate." Yuan Zhe replied.

Yuan Zhe was thinking about what to eat for dinner, and after thinking for a while he said, "Let's eat noodles tonight! I brought some, and I plan to go directly to the village office tomorrow morning to exchange some food. Those are not enough, and I'll ask where I can grind rice." He had only eaten some dry food at noon, and he was already starving at this moment.

Here, Su Ting stood up and walked into the house, and began to sort out some food he brought to see which ones needed to be processed first.

Meanwhile, Widow Wang rushed to the team leader and fired at him like a machine gun: "Gangzi, how could you do this? As the team leader, how could you ignore the interests of the villagers? How could you let the educated youth learn how to make soy sauce? Wouldn't that mean we would learn the skills? What if we can't sell our soy sauce?"

The team leader was a little confused at first, but when he understood what Widow Wang said, he sighed helplessly. The idea of ​​sending educated youth to the countryside was to let them take root in the countryside, build the countryside, and contribute to socialism. The educated youth had to do what the villagers did. The soy sauce in their village was famous, and if the educated youth were not allowed to participate, they might do something bad, and then the soy sauce cooperative might not be able to continue. Moreover, some cadres in the town who were not engaged in production wanted to find some mistakes, and then bring the soy sauce technology to the town to open a cooperative factory, so as to upgrade and make money. It was really not easy for him to deal with it!

"Aunt Wang, how could I not know? Don't worry. We can't not let them participate. The higher-ups are watching them!" the captain comforted.

"The higher-ups are watching, so why do we have to take care of this too?" Widow Wang's tone was full of confusion.

"Yes, our soy sauce has been targeted by people for a long time. If Da Zhuang hadn't been an official in the county's armed forces department, we would have been lost long ago."

"What should we do then? What does this have to do with the educated youth participating in making soy sauce?"

"Aunt Wang, we are required by our superiors to treat all educated youth equally and not to make any special arrangements. I let them decide for themselves whether to learn how to make soy sauce. Besides, we start harvesting the day after tomorrow, and they won't want to learn how to make soy sauce so soon. Besides, the soybeans haven't come in yet this year. By that time, even a cent may not be enough for them. Don't worry, this is not certain yet! But we have to make it clear that we can't be caught making any mistakes." The team leader explained patiently, fearing that Widow Wang would spread rumors.

"Is that so? Then what you said is just empty talk."

"Aunt Wang, it's fine for you to know, but don't spread it around, especially to the educated youth. You must not tell them."

"Okay, I get it. When have I ever passed on anything important? What I passed on were all unimportant things." Widow Wang hastened to assure me.
