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

Chapter 84, Episode 0086: Her name is Wang Xilan.

A group of people crowded at the door, all peeking in with great interest and curiosity. It took Captain Xu a while to shoo them away.

Lin Yuexi and Ren Yan, who was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed), exchanged glances, both of them looking utterly hopeless.

Q: What should I do if I make my child cry with just one sentence and I can't soothe him/her?
At first, when the child cried, all the adults felt sad too. Leng Xingran immediately picked up the child and comforted him, her own eyes reddening as she did so.

The child must have suffered too much over the years, and was almost completely alone on the farm. He must have been incredibly wronged, and once he started crying, he couldn't stop.

Then they brought in all of Captain Xu and the others who were guarding outside the house.

It's been more than half an hour, and the child still can't stop.

Lin Yuexi grabbed Liu Huai, who was holding a silver needle and about to stick it into her body, and said, "Why don't you give Zhaohua a needle instead? Crying like this will make her stupid. Although she should vent, don't you think crying for so long is too much?"

It hurt her ears to watch!
Liu Huai paused for a moment, then thought about it and realized that although the child was quite clever and cried in waves, which didn't actually harm his health, it was indeed not good in the long run.

After giving the child acupuncture and putting him to sleep, Leng Xingran hurriedly carried him back to the house. "Sister, I'm taking Zhaohua back to sleep now. See you tomorrow."

Liu Huai turned back and continued to apply acupuncture to Lin Yuexi, asking, "I still don't know what the situation is with the child's mother. Are they divorced?"

The old man never mentioned this matter. Once, when he was playing chess with another old man, the other man mentioned his eldest grandson's wife, and he got very angry and stopped playing chess.

Liu Huai had no interest in prying into people's secrets, but after seeing the pitiful little Zhao Hua, he couldn't help but feel a little resentful towards the mother who had never appeared before.

Lin Yuexi sighed, her heart filled with mixed emotions as she thought of Xiao Zhaohua's mother.

"Her name was Wang Xilan. Like my older brother, she was also a researcher. When Xiao Zhaoyang was only two months old, the laboratory exploded and she died."

That project is still unsuccessful and remains a secret. The news of the eldest sister-in-law's sacrifice has to be kept hidden, not even from her own family. In the Leng family, only the third branch and the old man know about it.

Liu Huai: "...!!!"

He repented!
He apologized for his earlier thought!
Huo Han and Ren Yan were also filled with admiration for Wang Xilan after hearing this. Her child was only two months old when she was killed in a laboratory explosion. These two sentences perfectly captured the selfless dedication of scientific researchers who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the country.

This also reminded them that there are many, many more like Wang Xilan, researchers who may remain unknown throughout their lives.

pay tribute!

After the acupuncture was administered, Lin Yuexi fell into a deep sleep again.

After confirming with Liu Huai that she was alright, Ren Yan and Huo Han went back to their respective rooms to rest.

When everyone woke up the next day, the guest room was empty, and even the kang (heated brick bed) was cold. Huo Han had only left a note on the kang table.

Just three words—There's a mission!

These were people with military personnel in their families, and they were used to this mode of being away from home at any time when on duty. They sighed and said, "I haven't had breakfast yet," and that was the end of it.

After breakfast, Ren Yan took the sweater she had knitted and ran to Lin Yuexi's room, a habit they had after the weather turned cold.

During the day, men should try to share one room and women another, so that the underfloor heating in both rooms only needs to be turned on during the day, which can save some coal and firewood.

As for the design of this underfloor heating system, you have to admire the ingenuity of the workers. Each room can be separated, instead of the entire room being heated at once.

They really put the word 'province' into practice. "Xi Bao, you didn't know you were asleep yesterday, but there's been trouble at the educated youth settlement again."

Lin Yuexi was teaching Xiao Zhaohua to write when she heard this and looked over in surprise, "Is this weather still causing trouble?"

Outside, water poured on the ground freezes instantly. At this point, everyone should be holed up in their houses, right?
While knitting a towel, Ren Yan said, "It's still that Wang Qin. Last time, when Wang Qin fainted, Li Bin and she didn't explain things clearly. After she returned to the educated youth settlement, she never mentioned it again. I don't know what Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng were thinking. Maybe they felt sorry for Wang Qin, so they didn't go and explain things to her again."

Lin Yuexi's expression had transformed into that of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.

Are those two really stupid, or just plain dumb?

She's already paved a section of the road for them!

This is the first time she's gone from being a bystander to actually getting caught in the crossfire, and she's failed miserably.

It seems she's only suited to be a bystander.

"This matter came about before it was explained clearly. You have no idea, but many of the older women in the village believe that Wang Qin was really bullied by Li Bin. The child Wang Qin lost was Li Bin's. Yu Mengmeng is a fool; she was deceived by Li Bin."

"What's even more outrageous is that some people think Yu Mengmeng is an insider and that she stole Li Bin from Wang Qin."

What are all these things?

When Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng were dating, Wang Qin was still in the city.

"Then there was a time when people in the village were saying that Wang Qin and Zhao Yishu had a relationship. After Zhao Yishu and Wang Zhiqing were sent to the farm, no one kept saying that."

Lin Yuexi: "Were they both sent to a farm?"

That can't be right. Didn't the captain say that Captain Ning was going to protect Zhao Yishu?

Why would they send someone to a farm?

Ren Yan pouted. "When Zhao Yishu and Wang Zhiqing got into trouble last time, Captain Ning already said that the team would punish them. Zhao Yishu would have to carry manure for half a year, and Wang Zhiqing's quota to return to the city would be canceled, and he would have to carry manure for three months."

Ning Yuan's prestige in the Fourth Brigade was only slightly lower than that of the brigade commander, and he had basically decided that this was how things would turn out.

But then Zhao Yishu had an accident, and Ning Yuan himself was reported anonymously.

The committee, a large group of more than twenty people, bypassed the First Brigade Captain and went to the Fourth Brigade. They ransacked Ning Yuan's house and arrested Zhao Yishu, Qing Zhiqing, and Ning Yuan's eldest son.

"Later, the brigade leader went in to rescue people, but only brought back Captain Ning's eldest son. Zhao Yishu and Wang Zhiqing had already been sent to the farm."

"Besides, no one in our village actually saw Wang Qin and Zhao Yishu interacting privately. It was all rumored from the Fourth Brigade. Now that Zhao Yishu and Wang Zhiqing have been sent to the farm, no one in the village is talking about Wang Qin and Zhao Yishu anymore. People like Aunt Wu guess that it's just rumors spread by the Fourth Brigade."

Wang Qin was very good at maintaining appearances in the village. She gave the impression of being a very quiet and unassuming girl. Everyone perceived her as someone who wouldn't cause trouble.

“Now many people in the village think Li Bin is wrong, but Li Bin and his friends don’t realize it themselves. Then yesterday, Li Bin and his friends were planning to have a nice meal together. Yu Mengmeng went to Hua San Niang’s house to exchange for frozen pears. When Hua San Niang’s eldest grandson saw her, he threw ice blocks at her and cursed her for being shameless and stealing someone else’s man.”

Yu Mengmeng was just a bit silly and not the type to swallow her anger. She immediately asked Hua San Niang what she meant and whose man she had stolen.
Hua San Niang was initially quite embarrassed, but seeing Yu Mengmeng's confident and assertive manner, she became even angrier. Hey, you mistress, don't you feel ashamed at all?

So the two of them had a big argument.

If it weren't for the fact that we were both wearing thick clothes that made it difficult to fight, not having a fight would be disrespectful to our ancestors.
