Jiang Yan didn't care what Xiao Yan thought and turned around and left.

"Hey, Jiang Yan..."

Xiao Yan stomped her feet in grievance, as if she was a resentful woman who was abandoned by Jiang Yan.

It's really disgusting, I can't bear to watch it.

Bao Zhiguo cleared his throat and called Xiao Yan, "Xiao Zhiqing, where have you been for so many days? Do you know that educated youth need to ask for leave when they go out? The production team didn't approve your leave. If you don't come back for a few days, it will have a very bad impact."

Xiao Yan seemed to have known that Bao Zhiguo was going to attack her. "Captain, didn't Jiang Yan not come back for several days? You didn't say anything about her."

This person is two-faced! In front of Jiang Yan, he pretended to be a good classmate and good friend, but turned around and stabbed her with a knife. Fortunately, the educated youth Jiang was smart and ignored her.

"Can you compare with the educated youth Xiao Jiang? Don't you know what she has been doing? The situation is special, so we need to deal with it in a special way."

Xiao Yan muttered, "My situation is also special. I was in town when I was hit by a car. The back of my head hit the ground and a big bump appeared. The comrade who hit me was afraid that I had some problems, so he took me to the hospital. I stayed in the hospital for several days and did a lot of tests. I was discharged only after it was confirmed that there was no problem."

"Got hit? Hospitalized?" Bao Zhiguo didn't believe a word of it. "Did anyone prove it for you? The case of Xiao Jiang the educated youth was confirmed by Chief Dai of the police station and others."

Without saying a word, Xiao Yan took out the hospitalization slip and the payment form from her pocket and handed them to Bao Zhiguo.

"This is the receipt for the bed fee, and this is the receipt for the nutrition fee. There are official seals on them, so they can't be faked, right?"

Bao Zhiguo took a look and found that it was stamped by the forest farm hospital. The name and time matched.

It’s not the town hospital, no wonder I didn’t meet him there.

"Okay." Bao Zhiguo handed all the notes back. "Now that you are fine, you should work hard when you come back. Otherwise, you won't be able to earn enough to feed yourself."

Xiao Yan didn't care about the food ration at all. It was unrealistic to expect to fill her stomach by working in the fields.

She finally understood that if she wanted to live a good life, she had to be smart, otherwise she would be like the people in the Victory Brigade, hungry, pale and skinny, looking like a nobody.

"Okay!" Xiao Yan didn't say anything else, "Captain, I've been sick for several days. I just got out of the hospital. Can I take two more days off to rest?"

Bao Zhiguo just said: "You have been discharged from the hospital, why are you still resting? You don't have to go to work this afternoon, and you can go to the fields as usual tomorrow!"

Xiao Yan had no choice but to agree.

At noon, the weather suddenly turned gloomy. Experienced farmers knew from the weather that it would rain heavily.

Good news, if it rains heavily, you don’t have to work and you can get half a day off.

The bad news is that after the rain, the grass in the field grew wildly and it will take at least another two days to pull the weeds out.

"The rain came just in time. The crops in the fields were suffering from drought. It looks like this will be a good year."

Bao Zhiguo was a little happy. Even if each member got an extra 50 kilograms of grain, they could survive a little longer in the spring and wouldn't have to wait for relief food.

"A good year?" Li Caiying worried as she was sewing shoe soles. "Can we have enough to eat in a good year? We can't even eat two kilograms of meat all year round. When our children grow up and want to get married, we can't even afford the bride price. I don't think our Shengli Brigade can get rid of this poor label any longer."

Their family is considered to have one of the best living conditions in the team, but after the eldest son got married, the family's funds were suddenly gone. The second son is almost twenty years old and still has no marriage!

Bao Zhiguo was also worried. Ever since he became the team leader, all he thought about every day was how to grow the land well, produce more grain, and how to feed the members.

But he alone could not defeat God. His heart was like the heavy rain outside, so damp that it was beyond words.

Suddenly, Bao Zhiguo thought of Jiang Yan.

"Xiao Jiang, the educated youth, is quite creative. I wonder if he can come up with something."

"Little Jiang the Educated Youth?"

"Yes." Bao Zhiguo repeated the conversation they had in the morning to his wife, "I'll give her a few days off and let her see if she can find a way out and lead our Shengli Brigade to prosperity."

Li Caiying smiled and stopped working.

"Xiao Jiang is a good kid, capable and talented. Not only did she save our little treasure, she also helped the police solve the case. But if you want her to help find a solution, I think it's difficult. Xiao Jiang is so young and fair. Do you think she can farm or herd sheep?"

Bao Zhiguo fell silent. The rain outside was getting heavier and the air was filled with the smell of damp earth.

"I don't think this will work! If you have the time, you might as well go to the commune and ask if they can get a few quotas for forestry workers for our brigade."

"So many production teams are watching, why is it our turn now?"

"You know without even asking? You just think about showing off your style every day. Are you to blame for what happened to the second son? You delayed my son's future."

When Li Caiying mentioned this, she was furious. Her second son had a chance to join the army, but he had to give it up because of a favor. Otherwise, her son could have been a squad leader in the army, and when he retired, he could have been arranged a job by the government.

"Ji Hai saved my life." Bao Zhiguo only said these few words and then stopped talking.

When Li Caiying thought about the past, she felt a dull pain in her chest and stopped talking.

It was still raining heavily outside, and small ditches were washed out in the yard. The rain water gathered into a winding river, and no one knew where it was flowing.

The yard of the educated youth site was very quiet. Apart from the sound of rain, almost no other sound could be heard.

It was a rare opportunity that we didn’t have to work in the afternoon, so after lunch, everyone prepared to have a good sleep to relieve the fatigue of the past few days.

Dong Shuang had fallen asleep, and Jiang Yan was lying next to her. Although she couldn't sleep, she was not idle either. She was planning ways to get rich for the Victory Brigade.

There is definitely no way to grow anything special from farming. She can't bring out seeds that will produce a thousand kilograms per mu in the future. It's hard to explain.

Handicraft workshops don't work either.

Nowadays, people are mainly concerned about increasing production and ensuring their livelihood. The most important thing is to have enough food. If you can't even eat, how can you think about other things?

Forest farm...

Jiang Yan's eyes gradually brightened. Perhaps she could take advantage of the power of the five major forest farms and do something.

The rain stopped in less than three hours. When Jiang Yan went to work the next day, he went directly to the production team compound to find Bao Zhiguo and asked him to write a letter of introduction for him.

"What do you need a letter of introduction for?"

"Let's go explore the route. I won't go far. I'll just go around the forest farms in our province."

"What ideas have you come up with?"

Jiang Yan pretended to be mysterious and slapped the small notebook with centimeters on the table. "I can't tell you for now. I'll talk to you when I come back."

The more she said this, the more Bao Zhiguo felt that this was possible. Maybe the educated youth Xiao Jiang already had some ideas in his mind.

"Okay, I'll write you a letter of introduction, and also give you ten... twenty, twenty yuan for travel expenses." Bao Zhiguo's heart was bleeding. There was not much money in the team, and he hoped that this money would not be wasted!
