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

Chapter 22, Episode 0022: This girl really doesn't know how to manage her money.

She explained anxiously, "Grandma killed the hen that hadn't laid eggs for over half a month and gave it to Mom to eat. Grandma said it would help her produce milk, but after Mom ate it, my younger sister still didn't have any milk. My aunt scolds Mom every day because of this hen, and Mom cries every day."

Xiao Qingqing indicated that she knew about this and raised her hand to show that she had something to say.

Lin Yuexi didn't ask her immediately, but smiled and said to the little girl, "This candy doesn't have an outer coating. If you want to give it to your mother, you have to take it back right away, otherwise it will melt."

Upon hearing that it would melt soon, the little girl turned and ran away in a panic. After running a few steps, she stopped, turned around, and called out shyly, "Sister Lin, I'm going home now. Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin Yuexi still smiled and waved at her.

Turning around, I saw that Xiao Qingqing's hand was still raised.

Amused, she pushed her down, "Aren't you tired of holding me up for so long? Come on, little know-it-all, is there anything you want to tell your big sister?"

Xiao Qingqing's eyes lit up. "Know-it-all!" What an impressive nickname! She loved it.

However, the young girl did not forget her job and continued to push Lin Yuexi forward slowly.

He said, "Er Ya's aunt is such a bad person, she's always bullying Er Ya's mother..."

As Xiao Qingqing recounted her story incoherently, Lin Yuexi pieced together the details of what had happened.

Er Ya's father was a soldier, and Er Ya's mother was among the first group of educated youth sent down to the countryside.

Er Ya's mother was beautiful but had a soft heart. One of the female educated youths in the same cohort was jealous of her and wanted to harm her. She pushed Er Ya into the river and arranged for a good-for-nothing from the next brigade to rescue her, hoping that she would lose her reputation and be forced to marry that good-for-nothing.

However, Er Ya's father, who happened to be passing by on his way back from visiting relatives, saw them and rescued them. Again, due to concerns about their reputation, the two got married.

Er Ya's grandparents are kind people. Er Ya's father used to send money and tickets home every month. When he was about to get married, Er Ya's grandparents felt that since Er Ya's father had his own little family, he should take care of his own family more in the future and didn't need to send money home anymore. They suggested that he send money to Er Ya's mother instead.

For this, Er Ya's aunt was very dissatisfied. After Er Ya's mother married into the family, Er Ya's aunt would always find various reasons to bully her, but Er Ya's mother was soft-hearted and always endured it.

Er Ya's aunt is a severe case of male chauvinism. She herself had three sons, while Er Ya's mother had two daughters. Therefore, she felt that she was the hero of the family and looked down on Er Ya's mother. She also took it for granted that she could order Er Ya's mother around.

Looking at the newly paved, flat cement road in front of her, still smelling of cement, Lin Yuexi's eyes flickered, a hint of gloom passing through them.

Many big cities still haven't paved their roads with cement, but this remote mountain village has.

This could never be the work of the Leng family. It's not that the Leng family lacks the ability, but rather that they cannot be high-profile right now.

He gazed leisurely toward the direction of Beijing.

It seems she's really valued!

On the edge of the field, workers were busy harvesting wheat, their sickles swung so fast they seemed to fly like wheels.

At this time, the educated youth were exhausted. They were so exhausted that their conjunctivitis could be temporarily cured. They were so exhausted that they had no time to argue. They were so exhausted that they had forgotten who their parents were.

But for the commune members, many were already tireless; what they saw was the joy of a bountiful harvest and the hope of not going hungry next year.

As Aunt Lu wiped her sweat, she inadvertently noticed a wheelchair slowly moving along the road. "Oh, Lin Zhiqing can get out now?"

Those nearby, hearing this, also looked over curiously. They were too far away to see the person's face clearly, but they could see a small person sitting in a wheelchair. The brigade leader's daughter, Dali Da Niu, was pushing the wheelchair from behind, holding a blue umbrella in her hand. Da Niu seemed to be talking to Lin Zhiqing about something, her head slightly lowered.

Aunt Li clicked her tongue twice, "Too thin, looks like a child, I heard he's already seventeen."

How will she ever get married? Which husband's family wouldn't mind?

However, no matter how simple-minded Aunt Li was, she didn't dare to say these words out loud. Before the person arrived, the brigade leader and the other village cadres had already warned each household in the entire brigade, and there were also those big moves that their village had made to benefit from... It's true that she was a village woman and didn't know much, but she wasn't a fool either. She knew what to say and what not to say, and who she really couldn't offend.

Qian Duoduo quickly tied up the handful of wheat in her hand, then got up and ran over there: "Laidi, you hold my place for a while, I'm going to say hello to Lin Zhiqing."

Li Laidi: "..."

I'm working too, okay? How can I cover for you?
Suddenly, a chubby little girl darted out from the side. Lin Yuexi wasn't startled, as she was used to using her mental energy to keep an eye on people within ten meters of her when she went out. She had already spotted Qian Duoduo, who was grinning from ear to ear.

It's just that this girl's appearance is a bit hard to describe.

She had borrowed a tattered floral cloth from some old lady, and with holes all over her head, it suddenly reminded her of bitter tea.

"Lin Zhiqing, are you feeling better today?"

Lin Yuexi nodded, suppressing a smile. "Thank you for your concern. I feel much better. This is truly a wonderful place."

An elderly woman carrying a basket on her back was passing by seemingly by chance. Hearing this, she was secretly delighted and grinned, showing off her slightly yellow teeth as she came closer.

“Lin Zhiqing, what you say is really nice to hear. But our place is indeed good. In your city people’s words, it’s called, oh, it’s called beautiful mountains and clear waters. Back when the whole Northeast was suffering from famine, no one here starved to death.”

"Lin Zhiqing, just stay here and rest. I guarantee you'll be back plump in a few years."

There's no need to be chubby.

Lin Yuexi nodded with her smile unchanged, glancing at the already full basket on her back, "Auntie is really amazing, picking so many chestnuts in such a short time."

Being praised by such a beautiful girl made the old lady feel incredibly happy. If she hadn't remembered the brigade leader's warning, she almost would have patted Lin Yuexi a few times.

She just likes good-looking kids.

“There is a whole forest of wild chestnuts on the back of our mountain. Back when there was a famine, that chestnut forest saved the lives of the whole village.”

The old woman leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "I've only just gotten here. Wait until after the autumn harvest, and you'll see everyone carrying sacks of fruit home."

Judging from this, that wild chestnut forest must be quite large.

Lin Yuexi's eyes flickered, and she asked seemingly casually, "Can we finish eating so many?"

If it weren't for her good looks, the older woman would probably say, "This girl really doesn't know how to manage her money."

“We can’t eat it all ourselves; we send it to the commune’s purchasing station every year.”

Although the purchasing station bought it cheaply, it was still a source of income, and the old woman grinned with a simple and honest smile.

She was carrying a heavy load, so Lin Yuexi didn't bother her too much. After chatting for a few minutes, she said goodbye.

Qian Duoduo had already run away when the old lady arrived. She just wanted to show off in front of the pretty girls. Now it was work time, and if the scorekeeper caught her running around, she would lose work points.

Lin Yuexi didn't pay any attention to her and patted Xiao Qingqing's hand, "Can you help me find where the captain is? I need to talk to him."

The captain didn't need her to look for him; upon hearing that she had come out, he came looking for her himself.

From a distance, someone called out, "Niece, what are you doing here? The sun's blazing hot, don't get sunburned!"
