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

Chapter 180, Episode 0187: More Human Touch
Secretary Chen stared at Lin Yuexi in a daze for a long time before he came back to his senses.

"...So, writing a report?"

He thought something serious had happened, but it turned out to be just a trivial matter.
However, thinking about Li Dayou's level of education, Secretary Chen felt a strange sense of smug satisfaction.

I told that old bastard to read more books, but he kept saying he was there for him. See, karma has come back to haunt him.

"Secretary, I'm going back now."

"Hey, it's getting dark, hurry back, come to my house for dinner another day."

We can't take it for granted that someone has gone to the commune for us.

As Lin Yuexi got on her bicycle, she waved to the back of her head, "It's nothing serious, not worth eating. I'm off."

Watching the figure gradually disappear into the distance, Secretary Chen's smile just wouldn't fade.

Their brigade is lucky. Although many troublesome educated youths have come, Lin, an educated youth, has not only offset all of them, but has also led their brigade to have an increasingly better life. Their brigade even has a sense of having a powerful backer.

However, this was just a feeling. Secretary Chen knew in his heart that Lin, or rather the Leng family behind Lin, was not the support of their brigade.

At least not yet.

No matter how you look at it, the relationships between people always boil down to one thing: 'profit'.

Lin, the educated youth, was willing to help them because he was kind-hearted. But if their brigade couldn't repay Lin, who could guarantee that he would always be kind?
Don't try to intimidate people with slogans and lofty ideals, and don't talk about honor or anything like that. People who have lived to his age understand that all the empty fame is just fleeting.

Therefore, Secretary Chen only hoped that during the days when Lin Yuexi was still in the brigade, even a little bit of change could happen in the brigade, which would already be a blessing from their ancestors.

Thinking of that old bastard Li Dayou again, his smile suddenly vanished, and he sighed helplessly.

This time it's writing a report, what about next time?
We can't ask Lin Zhiqing for help every time, can we?
He couldn't bring himself to do that.

We still need to think of a solution!
Lin Yuexi ignored the old man's ulterior motives, went to Aunt Wu's house to pick up Xiao Zhaohua, left a bag of pastries, and went home.

"Auntie, why didn't you take me with you when you went to the commune?"

The little guy was a bit unhappy. His aunt had promised to take him with her every time she went to the city, but she had forgotten about it.

Lin Yuexi didn't expect that she could make a round trip in half a day. Seeing that the little guy's lips were so pouty that two oil bottles could hang from them, she remembered her promise and quickly tried to coax him.

"Auntie remembered what she promised Hua Hua, but today is a bit special. Auntie was afraid of encountering danger, so she didn't bring you. But Auntie promises that there won't be a next time."

"Really?"

The little guy carried his paws on his back, glancing around with distrustful eyes.

Lin Yuexi held up three fingers and said solemnly, "It couldn't be more real than this. Even pearls aren't this real."

Little guy: "..."

I don't quite understand. What does guarantee have to do with pearls?
However, the little one generously forgave her aunt's mistake, but when she ran into Lin Yuexi's arms, she didn't forget to warn her: "It was Auntie who said it, Hua Hua remembers, if it happens again, Hua Hua will ignore Auntie."

Lin Yuexi trembled as if frightened, "No, no, Auntie is most afraid that Hua Hua will ignore her, I definitely won't dare."

Leng Xingran, who was washing her hair by the well, tilted her head and looked at the aunt and niece with a blank expression.

He had just returned and was about to wash his hair and change his clothes before picking up Xiao Zhaohua, but his sister had already brought the little guy back.

Just as he was about to greet him, he noticed that his sister, who had always seemed like an insurmountable barrier in his eyes, was now behaving like a fallen goddess, groveling before her nephew.

Suddenly, my younger sister seems more humane!
Ugh, what is he thinking about?

She grabbed a towel, drying her hair as she walked to the door, pushed her bicycle to the corner of the corridor, and carried the things hanging on the bicycle into the main room. "Sis, what did you buy this time? It's so heavy!"

Lin Yuexi followed behind him, carrying Xiao Zhaohua in her arms. "We passed by the supply and marketing cooperative and saw that a new batch of canned goods had arrived, so I bought a few bottles."

She didn't take anything out since the family has plenty of food and drink.

Zhang Ze, who was chopping wood in the yard, immediately put down his axe and rushed in when he heard about the canned goods. "Do you have any canned peaches? I'll take a bottle. I love them. I haven't had them in ages. Just thinking about them makes my mouth water."

After dinner, everyone sat in a row and shared the fruit.

Apart from Lin Yuexi, who had a cheat code, everyone else looked at the canned food on the table with drooling eyes.

Canned food is a rare commodity, considered a delicacy in big cities. Giving two cans of food as a gift is a sure way to impress people.

Despite their comfortable family situation, even before they went to the countryside, getting canned food was not an easy thing for Zhang Ze and Xu Zhichuan.

Canned food production was limited, and each city could only receive a limited quantity, or even none at all. So even if you had money and coupons, you might not be able to buy it.

People in this era are blessed to have even a little sweetness in their mouths, let alone imagine a dozen or so sweet bottles placed in front of them.

Even though I just finished eating, my mouth is still watering.

Leng Xingran struggled to maintain his dignity as the older brother and solemnly got up to divide the canned food.

"How many bottles do you want? Let's agree on this first: each person can only have a maximum of two bottles exchanged, and the rest have to be reserved for Xi Bao and Hua Hua."

No one objected; they had originally thought they would only be able to exchange one bottle, so two bottles exceeded their expectations.

Zhang Ze hurriedly took out his money and tickets and took away two bottles of canned peaches.

Xu Zhichuan took out money and tickets for four bottles and handed them to Leng Xingran, saying, "Take two bottles of mango and two bottles of lychee."

Leng Xingran was stunned for a moment, then noticed Ren Yan, who had been looking conflicted but was now shocked, and immediately understood.

He kept the four bottles of his favorite flavor, put the rest back into the cloth bag, and his sister, who was more sensible than him and had already gotten up and carried Xiao Zhaohua back to the house, also quickly slipped away.

Zhang Ze, carrying two cans of food, had long since disappeared, presumably having gone back inside to satisfy his cravings.

"Sis, I've put the canned food in your wardrobe."

Lin Yuexi blocked his way, saying, "I don't like canned food. Take it back to your room."

Leng Xingran immediately grinned, and without any hesitation, placed the cloth bag on the kang (a heated brick bed), then took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on it.

"Sister, why did you rush to the commune today? Did something happen?"

Lin Yuexi carried the little one back to the kang (a heated brick bed) and, without hiding anything from Leng Xingran, told him what had happened that day.

“I met Uncle Zhang before you came. Dad cares about his old comrades-in-arms. Knowing that I live close to Uncle Zhang’s house, he asked me to deliver medicinal wine to Uncle Zhang twice.”

However, he went directly to Uncle Zhang's workplace and delivered the medicinal wine to Uncle Zhang directly, and never went to Uncle Zhang's house.

"Why are you meddling in the captain's business?"

This is what he is most curious about.

His sister always gave him a sense of detachment, as if she were detached from the world, or rather, a cold indifference that she would choose to ignore things if they didn't concern her.

She seems very approachable, but in reality, she won't linger her gaze on anything that doesn't affect her.

So he was very curious about what 'good deeds' his sister and the captain had done behind his back.
