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

Chapter 125, Episode 0129: Identity Transformation (Part Two)

It took six generations for the Qin Dynasty to transition from slavery to feudalism.

Not to mention the introduction of Western culture.

In other words, we are currently in a period of great clashes of ideas, and no one knows what the future holds, so everyone is acting recklessly.

As Liu Huai gradually came to understand these things, he learned to be an outsider, detached from all other thoughts, and focused solely on being a doctor.

Hey, my back and legs stopped hurting instantly.

Even though he was by Lin Yuexi's side, he was not relying on the Leng family; at least, he didn't think so.

In the present case, he was just passing on a message and had no other intentions. He also believed that the leader just wanted to use him to convey these messages.

It can only be said that he was caught up in the situation without realizing it, or perhaps it was a form of self-comfort.

After learning about Hongguang's background, Lin Yuexi wasn't foolish enough to think it was none of her business, nor did she recklessly let Li Dayou and the others confront Hongguang.

Therefore, avoiding direct confrontation is the wisest choice at this time, rather than causing unnecessary casualties for the sake of the small group.

Anyway, her major is dealing with machinery, so tractors are nothing to her.

So Lin Yuexi called the captain over. She couldn't do it herself because of her physical condition, but she could teach him.

Li Dayou was overjoyed. "Grandpa and Grandma, what a wonderful thing!"

He personally repaired the equipment, and the techniques would always remain known only to Lin Zhiqing. But Lin Zhiqing was willing to teach, which meant he was willing to pass on his skills to others.

Even if Lin, the educated youth, returns to the city, there will still be people in their village who know how to repair tractors.

Of course, we should think of our own family first when it comes to such a great thing, but we can't forget our old partners either. It would be best if we could also help the poor households in the village.

After receiving the message from Lin Yuexi, Li Dayou arranged for one of his nephews, the grandson of the old Party Secretary Chen, and two extremely poor households from the village.

The four boys, all around twenty years old, studied with Lin Yuexi for more than half a month, and were then directed by Lin Yuexi to repair the village's broken tractor.

After a few days of tinkering, the tractor, which used to look like it was only worth a hundred or so yuan, was completely transformed and looked brand new.

The 'putt-putt-putt' sound that circled the village made Li Dayou eat an extra bowl of rice that night!

Overwhelmed with excitement, Li Da blurted out that Lin Yuexi could fix other things. Lin Yuexi, who had intended to teach the villagers some things as a pastime during her recovery, naturally agreed.

Then, Li Congjun [Li Dayou's nephew who was sent to learn the technology] and three others began their tireless work of repairing electrical appliances.

The radio at this house was broken, so we sent it to Li Congjun's house; the flashlight at that house wasn't working, so we sent it to Chen Youliang's house...
The group lived a life of both pain and pleasure, spending their days studying at Lin Yuexi's house and their evenings repairing electrical appliances.

As for Lin Yuexi, Li Dayou took the opportunity to transfer her to the position of a technical educated youth.

Technical educated youth were a special group among the educated youth. Once they were transferred to the technical educated youth category, they no longer needed to work in the fields to earn work points. Instead, they could earn their food rations voluntarily through their skills. For example, a technical educated youth who could repair tractors would not be obligated to repair tractors. The village would either give them work points or cash coupons. However, when there were no tractors to repair, they could choose to work in the fields to earn work points, entirely voluntarily.

Of course, the more skills you have, the more you can earn. You can live a good life without having to work in the fields, and you can stay at home and be a couch potato.

These are two different worlds.

Not to mention that Lin Yuexi doesn't rely on work points for a living; she just needs a title so she can avoid working in the fields without any worries. No one complained when Li Congjun and the others didn't show up after work started; at most, they just expressed a few words of envy.

"Erdan is going to have a good life from now on. His fourth son is learning from Lin Zhiqing and I heard he can fix some things now. My grandma's flashlight hadn't worked for two years, but he fixed it. When he sent it there, it was pitch black, but when he brought it back, it was like new."

Actually, it wasn't that exaggerated. Chen Youliang simply removed the rust from the flashlight to reveal the silvery-white interior, making it look newer.

Another middle-aged man, while pounding the soil, said enviously, "If I had known, I would have let my kids study for a few more years, so they could have learned from Lin, the educated youth."

This is also where Li Dayou's cleverness lies. Although he had his own selfish motives in choosing people, he did not act recklessly. The four young people he chose were all high school graduates from last year, and they were also the only four high school graduates in the village besides Wu Sihui.

City kids are all going to the countryside after graduating from high school, making it even harder for village kids to find jobs.

Li Dayou was naturally happy that four people from his village had gone on to high school, but the fact that all four graduates could only return home to continue farming made him unhappy.

One reason is to feel sorry for these four children, and the other is for all the children in the village.

If you put those four there, what will the villagers think about sending the kids to school?
Will this make everyone more convinced that studying is useless?

Will a lot of girls be dragged back from school to do manual labor?
Even though the only girl who graduated from high school last year found a job in the city, the fact that the four boys, who have studied for almost ten years, still have to come back to farm will still make many people unwilling to send their children to school.

Li Dayou has a big headache.

Having served as village chief/brigade leader for two or three decades, he knows every single person in the village very well.

In the past, everyone thought that studying was useless, and everyone favored boys over girls. They were always filial to their parents, but beating their wives was also common practice in the past.

Li Dayou once told Lin Yuexi: "When your Uncle Chen was a child, he went to school with the landlord's son. That son later went to E and brought back a sample, teaching him a lot of ideas about horses and so on."

"I didn't have much formal education, but I was lucky enough to serve as a bodyguard for my superiors when I was in the army. I often listened to them talk and learned some things."

“Your Uncle Chen has ideas; he wants the village to change. It’s just that the previous village chief was, as you would say, old-fashioned. He insisted on following the rules passed down from our ancestors.”

Some of the rules passed down from our ancestors are good, but some are no longer suitable or even seriously outdated, and some are simply outdated and ignorant.

The Li and Chen families were roughly equal in strength in the village, but more people shared the same ideas as the old village chief Li, meaning he had more supporters, including many members of the Chen clan. Therefore, the old village chief Chen's ideas remained just that—ideas.

Until Li Dayou became the village chief, the two partners, who were more than twenty years apart in age, surprisingly shared the same values ​​and had a collision of ideas.

But changing other people's mindsets is not something that can be done overnight.

It took them more than ten or twenty years of work to change the villagers' mindset, but this change was not comprehensive. Even now, there are still a small number of people in the village whose thinking is still stuck in the old society.
