Chapter 29, Episode 0029: Someone
“There are even more bizarre ones. Su Xiao didn’t even hold a wedding banquet. Before she left, she asked the people at the educated youth settlement for red envelopes. She said that when people from the educated youth settlement got married, everyone gave at least two mao (0.2 yuan) in red envelopes. She wanted to follow that standard when she got married.”
"Yang Qiuju almost got into a fight with her, cursing her for being shameless and having an affair. The whole educated youth settlement was implicated because of her. If it weren't for the righteousness of the brigade, she would have been sent to a labor camp by now. They asked her how she still had the nerve to ask for red envelopes."
"Yang Qiuju also demanded payment from her. She had cheated the young men in the village out of a lot of food and drink. Half a month before the autumn harvest, everyone went to the brigade leader to complain. The brigade leader told her to return all the things that others had given her, or else he would send her back to the educated youth office."
“She cheated out of a lot of things during her four years in the countryside. Just one egg alone added up to several hundred. She couldn’t pay them back at all, so she asked the people at the educated youth settlement to lend her some.”
It's hard to say whether to say that kindness is taken advantage of, or that the people at the educated youth settlement are all a bit dim-witted. They actually got a loan from her, and several of them even ended up with empty pockets.
However, Su Xiaohong promised to return the grain to everyone before the harvest and even wrote a guarantee.
Then, well, it can only be said that the people in the educated youth settlement were all a bit unlucky; they lost their guarantee letters.
As a result, Su Xiaohong has not returned a single grain of rice to this day, and even asked for a red envelope before leaving.
Liu Huai, who was also listening nearby, twitched his lips speechlessly. The people in this world are really strange and varied.
"Later, Li Bin and Yu Mengmeng came out to persuade everyone. It was worth it to exchange a penny or two for everyone's future peace. Their educated youth group had already lost enough face because of Su Xiaohong. They should let them leave quickly."
"That couple was a perfect match. No one in the educated youth settlement liked them, but they wouldn't leave unless they were given a red envelope. Later, after everyone gave them red envelopes, they were finally sent away."
Speaking of this, Ren Yan felt that she had wasted her time watching the commotion today. "I shouldn't have gone over today. I had forgotten that I was also a sent-down youth. She even remembered me and was dumbfounded when she asked me for a red envelope."
Liu Huai laughed so hard his shoulders twitched, and Lin Yuexi couldn't suppress her laughter either.
Ren Yan is generous with everything, but never touch her money. Anyone who does will get angry, and asking her for a red envelope is no different from asking her for her life.
Lin Yuexi has a military rank, lieutenant colonel; Ren Yan, as one of the people taking care of her, has been placed in the reserve security personnel and receives a salary, though not much, eight yuan and fifty cents a month.
Ren Yan herself was unaware of this; she believed the money and tickets were given by the Leng family and refused to accept them.
Lin Yuexi's current identity must be kept secret, and Ren Yan has not yet passed the organization's test, so the truth cannot be told to her for the time being. Therefore, Lin Yuexi can only ask Liu Huai to save Ren Yan's salary for her for the time being.
That night, the same group of soldiers appeared in the house with Lao Yan.
Lin Yuexi first patted the locked combination lock box, then knocked on another black combination lock box next to it, and then handed a note to Lao Yan.
"This is a fighter jet that I designed myself."
"I can't build and experiment with it myself. The data is all here. If anyone is interested, they can try to see if they can build it. This is the code."
After a moment of silence, she added, "If no one values this document, please bring it back for me next time you come."
The problem being solved was exciting enough, but there was an unexpected surprise.
Who wouldn't value it? The young girl's ideas were already enlightening for professors when she was still young, let alone now!
With a trembling heart, Lao Yan took the note with excitement. Without opening it, he took out a sealed bag from his pocket and put the note inside. Another soldier came over and stamped the sealed bag with a red ink stamp—(Secret).
The letter was then handed to another soldier, who was now holding a thick tin box. The sealed bag was placed inside the tin box, which was then locked with handcuffs, the other end of which was fastened to the soldier's hand. The group silently saluted Lin Yuexi again and quickly left.
About twenty minutes later, there was a soft knock on the door, followed by Leng Xingran's deliberately low voice: "Little sister, are you asleep?"
"Not yet, brother. Come in."
Leng Xingran carefully pushed the door open and came in. She looked around and asked with a smile, "I made an appointment with Zhang Ze and the others to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables tomorrow. Ren Yan said she wants to go too. Tomorrow is the weekend. Do you want to ask Pan Qing to come and keep you company?"
Leng Xingran had no idea what Lin Yuexi had been doing for the past twenty-odd days, but as a sibling who had grown up together, how could he not know that his sister was a genius and was doing a lot of work that couldn't be known by others, many of which involved secrets?
People from families like theirs know best what they should and shouldn't know, and they cooperate promptly.
Just like when there were other people in the room, he had been guarding the door the whole time.
Lin Yuexi replied with a smile, "Sure, 50 cents a day, she should be happy with that."
Mentioning this, Leng Xingran also laughed, pushed open the door and came in, sat on the edge of the kang and said to her, "Last time she could only earn 50 cents, and she was so sad that she cried when she got home. After going to school, she couldn't help but spend the 50 cents, and cried again when she got home."
The little girl sat at the door looking longingly at their house as soon as she got home today, clearly hoping to earn back the 50 cents.
Suddenly, Lin Yuexi's smile froze, and she turned her head to look coldly out the window.
someone!
Leng Xingran's hearing was also quite good. Hearing footsteps outside the backyard, she slowly stood up, gestured for Lin Yuexi to be quiet, and then climbed out through the half-open window in the corner.
After a while, a muffled groan was heard from behind, and then it became quiet again.
Then, the sound of a door opening came from Liu Huai's house across the street. Liu Huai ran out, and a few minutes later, two people brought in a man whose hands were tied with rags and whose mouth was also stuffed with rags.
Liu Huai has been quite 'free' lately, often wandering around the brigade. He already knows everyone in the brigade. When the candlelight in the main room shone on the man's face, he recognized him at a glance.
He pulled the rag out of the other man's mouth and said, "Ma Ming from the Fourth Brigade, what are you doing here? You've been circling around our backyard. Tell me, what's your purpose?"
The First Brigade was special because it consisted entirely of military dependents. In comparison, the Fourth Brigade was also somewhat unique in that it had a very mixed set of surnames. It was a village formed by people who had migrated to the east after the war, making it relatively difficult to manage. It had more hooligans and such than the other brigades.
Ma Ming was one of the members of a group of hooligans. These people did more than just steal; they also committed petty theft, burglary, robbery, and other illegal activities. They were just fast enough to escape being caught and there was no evidence against them, so they were still able to roam around.
"I... I was just passing by."
Liu Huai raised his hand and slapped him across the face, making his face twist.
“Passing by my foot! Where are you going to pass by here? Whether you’re going to the educated youth settlement or Li Aimin’s house, you don’t need to go through our back door. Passing by? Why don’t you just say you’ve taken the wrong road? Tell the truth, or I’ll make sure you don’t even have a chance to go to the police station.”
