After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 124, Episode 0128: Identity Transformation (Part 1)

Wu Sihui and Yang Zhiqing had been dating for almost a year. When they confirmed their relationship, Wu Sihui was only fourteen years old. They weren't very discreet, and many people in the village knew about it.

But there was never any gossip about Wu Sihui in the village.

Why?

It's all because she has a particularly fierce mother. Whenever anyone spreads rumors about her, Aunt Liu will take a rolling pin to their house and find some excuse to smash them.

The key is that while Aunt Liu is reckless, she also has brains. She may smash things randomly, but her random smashing makes it impossible for you to argue back.

So... 'Why provoke her?'

However, the fact that Wu Sihui and Yang Zhiqing had already broken up has spread like wildfire, except for their names. People who should know and shouldn't know that the person who broke the news is Wu Sihui already know, and it's only a matter of time before it spreads completely.

This would not have been possible without Aunt Liu's tacit approval.

Aunt Zheng slapped her thigh and sighed, "I reckon Old Liu used to think the two of them could get married. Although people around here don't get married too early these days, there were girls who got engaged when they were ten or so. If we kept it a secret and waited until Si Hui got engaged at sixteen and then got married at eighteen, as long as we didn't gossip, it wouldn't have much of an impact."

Since it concerned the reputation of all the girls in the village, no matter how much the villagers had their own ulterior motives, they wouldn't go around gossiping about it.

“It can’t be done now. Anyway, this kind of thing can’t be hidden at all. It’s better to let people know as soon as possible. The child is still young, so we can say she doesn’t understand.”

It's certain that Wu Sihui's reputation will be damaged, but fortunately, she is still young. The villagers still have some confidence in each other on this point and won't deliberately spread rumors about whether a fifteen-year-old girl is chaste or not.

Aunt Wu and the others nodded in agreement again, "That's exactly right. If something like this doesn't work out, the sooner it gets out, the better. A bad reputation is only temporary. After a while, who will still believe it? Besides, Sihui is going to the city to work as a factory worker. She can find someone from the city later."

Aunt Feng chimed in, "That's right. If we hadn't spread the word sooner that we'd separated from Yang, what would have happened if Yang found out that Sihui had become a worker and then tried to climb back into her arms?"

Aunt Lu: "I'm afraid he'll go to the food factory."

A group of imaginative middle-aged women had a heated discussion about this issue and even came up with several ways to stop it.

Lin Yuexi had been recuperating from her illness for more than two months without leaving the house. However, although she hadn't left the house, she was better informed than anyone else. At the latest, there would be a lively sunflower seed gathering at home every other day.

Time flows by like water, and the climate is gradually warming up.

Before they knew it, it was already April, and the village began preparing to resume work.

Spring land preparation should be carried out according to local conditions, rice should be germinated in a timely manner in preparation for sowing, and dryland crops should undergo seed germination tests and coating preparations, and sowing should be carried out according to the weather and soil moisture.

April in Northeast China is still quite cold. If you go out early in the morning without a cotton-padded coat, you'll be shivering from the cold. But if you go to level the land and dig up frozen soil, that's heavy physical work. If you wear a cotton-padded coat, you'll definitely feel so hot that your head will throb.

So the experience passed down from generation to generation is to go out wearing a thin, tattered coat, move around a lot when you get to the fields, and make sure you warm yourself up first before slowly getting ready.

Lin Yuexi is no longer an ordinary educated youth; she has been promoted to a technical educated youth, so she no longer needs to work in the fields.

This happened while she was recuperating. The village's tractor was already an old machine. Last year, the village made some money because people from big cities wanted to buy mountain products. The village head and others originally wanted to replace it with a new one, even if it wasn't brand new or used, as long as it was under warranty and had a short service life.

There was no other way; their own car was breaking down every few days, often stalling halfway through a journey, and they had to humiliate themselves by calling a technician to fix it.

Who knew that although they had the money ready and the commune had indeed acquired two brand-new tractors, the commune wouldn't replace them, and they couldn't even buy a new one.

It's not that they're capitalist hedonists, but that they lack a spirit of unity and don't help the surrounding brigades that are in difficulty.

Li Dayou was feeling bitter after being ridiculed. After returning to the village, he went to Lin Yuexi's house. He didn't expect her to help him with anything; he felt that no one could help him with this matter. He just wanted to talk to Lin Yuexi because he was holding back his anger and wanted to confide in someone.

"The new president is not easy to deal with, and we don't know much about his temperament, but from those few meetings, we can roughly tell that he is a person with a lot of official authority."

He didn't dare to explain it too clearly, but that was enough for Lin Yuexi to understand.

Isn't he just someone who likes to be flattered and enjoys superficial achievements?

It's really hard for the Red Star Brigade, which hasn't won the title of advanced brigade for over ten years, to think well in front of such a leader.

He won't ask you why; he'll just have a bad first impression and hate you from then on.

That evening, Liu Huai told Lin Yuexi what he knew: "The new president is not the one originally scheduled. This one was transferred from Chun Province, which is next to Hei Province."

Speaking of this, we have to mention an old acquaintance they've never met.

It's unclear whether it was a genuine coincidence or something intentional.

This is where the "terrifying" nature of the miracle doctor is revealed. Liu Huai once saved Boss Fang's father. Because Boss Fang's father's illness required long-term care and the condition was prone to change, Boss Fang and Liu Huai had always maintained contact.

Leader Fang knew that Liu Huai was currently taking care of the granddaughter of the old chief Leng. Although Leader Fang did not know much about Leng Xingshu's affairs, he knew that Leng Xingshu had been taken to the farm by Old Xu's nephew.

Leader Fang doesn't get involved in these matters, but Liu Huai is his good friend, his father's savior, and his future father's protector. Some favors are worth selling, so he reminded Liu Huai/Hongguang of his identity and background.

As Liu Huai helped Lin Yuexi walk, he whispered to her, "What Hongguang did in Chun Province would have wiped out nine generations of his family in ancient times, but his second wife is Xu Dezhi's sister-in-law."

“I don’t know the specifics. The information I was given was that Hongguang was arrested in early March last year and was detained in the Public Security Bureau. Half a month later, he was transferred from the Public Security Bureau to the Committee. In early May, he was initially dealt with and sent to the Northwest Farm.”

"Two days later, the order was changed, and Hongguang was ordered to stay home and reflect on his actions."

"This self-reflection lasted until October, when a transfer order came down and transferred him to the Red Flag Commune."

Liu Huai's tone was calm, showing neither indignation at the injustice nor much sympathy.

He is no longer the naive boy who hadn't seen much of the world and thought the world was simply black and white.

As Xi Bao said, the world is in a period of change. Since ancient times, which change has ever passed peacefully?
