Fortunately, no one saw it, no one jumped out to blame her, and no complications occurred.

Jiang Yan's journey back was also very smooth. She didn't encounter any bad guys, which made her feel relieved.

After two and a half days of bumpy train ride and half a day of bumpy bus ride, when Jiang Yan finally returned to Wudaogou Commune, all the bones in his body felt like they were falling apart.

The speed of today's trains is really too slow. Sometimes they have to stop on the road for half a day due to scheduling issues. Fortunately, she took a sleeper berth, which gave her a better experience. However, the passenger car was too weak. Not only was it shaky, but the shock absorption was basically negligible. After several hours of bumpy rides, her legs were weak.

The car also smells bad, fortunately it is winter, otherwise it would have fermented in summer.

The first thing Jiang Yan did after getting off the car was to drink some spiritual spring water. The cold wind finally made him sober up a little.

She walked from the bus station to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative with her bag in hand. She did not see the ox cart of the Shengli Brigade, but she did meet Bao Shengli.

Bao Shengli came to buy New Year's goods, and he was accompanied by other members of Shengli Brigade. When they saw Jiang Yan, they were all surprised and happy.

"Is the educated youth Xiao Jiang back?"

"Little Jiang the educated youth."

Jiang Yan's reputation in Shengli Brigade is absolutely second to none. She advanced funds to build fish ponds in the village and helped the members get rich. Who can still lie and say that she is not right?

Bao Shengli also said: "Oh my god, my mother was counting the days yesterday, calculating when you would come back. She really couldn't help but worry about it."

The Bao family treats Jiang Yan as their own child and they all hope that she can come back soon so that the whole family can celebrate the New Year together.

"Brother Bao, hello."

Jiang Yan greeted everyone one by one, and then asked, "Is there no car from the team? Why can't I see Uncle Luo?"

"The car is parked outside. Didn't you see this guy in town? You're pushing and shoving me. We can't even move."

The New Year is coming soon, and every family needs to prepare for the New Year. As soon as the twelfth lunar month begins, the town becomes very lively. The small market in the town is also open, and bartering at the end of the year is also allowed by policy.

"It's just the beginning of the twelfth lunar month. By the end of the year, there will be more people coming to town and it will be more lively."

"No wonder. I'll go find a car first. When will you be back?"

"We've almost finished shopping, let's go back together."

Everyone carried things, protected Jiang Yan, squeezed out of the crowd, and finally found the Victory Brigade's ox cart.

When Old Luo saw Jiang Yan, he smiled so hard that his teeth were showing. He quickly picked the most comfortable seat in the car and motioned for Jiang Yan to sit there.

In addition to Bao Shengli and several educated youth, there were several other members who also wanted to take the bus back. Everyone squeezed on the ox cart holding the things they bought, and the atmosphere was quite good.

"Gee!" Old Luo waved the whip and the ox cart slowly drove out of the town.

"Xiao Jiang, the fish in our fish pond have all been sold. Did you know about this?"

"Ah? They've all been sold?" Jiang Yan was surprised. "I didn't know. No one told me."

Everyone in the car started talking at once.

"That fish is growing really fast. Normally, fish don't grow in winter here, right?"

"Uh-huh."

"Young educated youth Jiang is really capable. I heard from the deputy captain that the feed we feed the fish is a special formula, and the fish will grow faster after eating it."

"Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, can we build more fish ponds next year?" A woman with a worried look leaned over and asked softly.

Jiang Yan knew her. Her name was Geng Xiaomei. Her husband was Li Erzhuang, and he was related to the deputy captain Li Changsheng's family.

When winter came, Li Erzhuang worked in the fish pond with Li Changsheng. He was a hardworking man who didn't talk much.

When the fish pond was being built, many people in the village were not optimistic about the project. The money was even borrowed from Jiang Yan. If the family lost money, how would they pay it back? The family didn't have much money to begin with, and if they were in debt, they would really have no way to survive.

Many people are waiting and watching, or even looking at this matter pessimistically.

Bao Zhiguo had said before that working in the fish pond would earn you work points, and the work points were higher than working in the fields. As for those who didn't work, sorry, they got nothing.

At that time, Li Erzhuang went to the fish pond purely for Li Changsheng's sake. He thought that he had nothing to do in the winter anyway, and even if the fish pond didn't make any money, giving him two fish at the end of the year would mean that all his hard work throughout the winter would not be in vain.

But he never expected that this small fish pond actually sold more than 4,000 kilograms of fish. Excluding the money to be paid back to Jiang Yan, each person received dozens of yuan.

This was the money he earned in three months, not much different from farming all year round.

The most important thing is that they have no trouble selling their fish. The town leaders found a way from nowhere, but they just bought all the fish in the pond without any effort.

Geng Xiaomei was so excited to see that her family had so much extra income. She was afraid that she would not raise fish next year and lose this income. She hoped to build more fish ponds so that she could earn more. So she was particularly concerned about this issue and decided to ask Jiang Yan first.

After all, this was all thanks to the educated youth Xiao Jiang. With her definite words, Geng Xiaomei felt like she had taken a reassurance pill, which made her feel more at ease than the team leader's words.

"This depends on the opinions of the leadership team and the members." Jiang Yan smiled and said, "The team leader will hold a meeting to discuss this matter when the time comes!"

"That's for sure."

"Everyone in the village is waiting!" Those who didn't get to taste this hot soup regretted it very much. If they had known that they could earn dozens of dollars by working hard for three months, they would never have just lay at home and watched the fun.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the ox cart soon entered the village.

Everyone on the bus got off one after another. Before leaving, everyone would say hello to Jiang Yan and ask her to visit them at her home when she was free.

Some people she couldn't even remember by name.

"Girl, do you want to go home first, or come to my house and sit for a while?" I don't know when it started, but Bao Shengli started calling me "girl" all the time, and he did it quite smoothly.

"I'll go home first!"

"Okay, come to my house for dinner tonight."

"I won't go over. I've been on the train for several days and I want to take a break." Mainly because I didn't want to trouble others.

Bao Shengli said, "No, my dad wants to talk to you about the fish pond. Come to our house for dinner tonight and it's settled. Oh, by the way, the coal is in your shed. My master drove it here personally and gave me half a ton more."

Jiang Yan knew where this half ton of coal came from.

"Thank you, Brother Bao."

"Why thank you? It's all your own fault."

Jiang Yan said goodbye to Bao Shengli and Lao Luotou and returned to their own courtyard.

The room was chilly, and Xiaobai ran out and circled around her happily. Even after being apart for such a long time, the dog still remembered her.

Ok……

Maybe she missed the water and dog food in her space?
