Traveling between the 70s and the modern world

Autumn harvest is the busiest and most tiring time of the year. The educated youth, who were barely able to make do with food and drink, were visibly losing weight.

That day, when the whistle blew to signal the end of work, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi followed the crowd and walked towards the educated youth point.

At this time, a child in the village called her: "Lin Zhiqing, the village chief wants you to go to the brigade headquarters."

"Thank you, Huzi. Did the village chief tell me what it was about?"

"I don't know, but the postman came to deliver a letter today, and there was a big package." Hu Zi looked very cute with his chubby face. After saying that, he jumped and ran away.

"It seems your family has sent you another letter. Come on, I'll go with you to take a look."

When Ye Yi heard the letter, she smiled brightly, as if she had received the letter herself.

In this era, communication can only be done through letters and telegrams. The brigade headquarters does have a telephone, but there is a charge for both receiving and making calls.

That's right, both directions are charged, and the price is not low, a few cents per minute.

One minute of phone call is enough to buy a pound of meat. People at this time will not make phone calls unless it is necessary.

As they were talking, they came to the brigade headquarters, where the village chief and the brigade leader were both there. "Uncle village chief, are you looking for me?" Lin Qingyan walked in and asked.

The village chief saw the two people coming in, opened the drawer, took out a letter from the drawer, and handed it to Lin Qingyan: "This is the letter delivered by the postman today."

Lin Qingyan quickly reached out to take it: "Thank you, village chief uncle."

"There's another package, and I don't know what's inside. It's quite heavy."

The village chief stopped Lin Qingyan who was about to leave with the letter, stood up and walked to the compartment, and took out a large package.

"Comrade Xiaolin should live in a happy family. After the founding of New China, the state made it illegal to buy and sell human beings, so there is no such thing as selling children.

Although women wear half of the head, girls in this era must be less favored at home.

I heard that your family sends you letters and parcels every once in a while, Comrade Xiaolin is very happy." The village chief sighed.

Lin Qingyan looked at the big package and knew without opening it that a lot of her parents' hard work was put into it. Thinking of her parents and family, a sincere smile appeared on her face.

"Yes, it is my blessing to be their daughter."

"It's autumn harvest time recently, and the postman is very busy. He only delivers letters once every few days. Today, there are too many villages for the postman to deliver to, so he delivered it directly to the brigade headquarters."

The village chief explained why the postman did not deliver the package directly to me this time.

"Don't worry, little girl. There won't be anything missing when we deliver the stuff to the brigade headquarters."

While the village chief was speaking to Lin Qingyan, he also glanced at the team leader, as if giving the team leader a warning.

"Uncle, even three-year-old children in Xishui Village know that if they find something and send it to the brigade, they will get nothing missing no matter what it is.

My things are just like my own when they are in the brigade headquarters. Besides, they are cotton-padded clothes sent by my family for winter.

Lin Qingyan sincerely felt that she should thank the village chief. In this era, it was very common for letters to be lost.

In my previous life, I even heard from my younger brother that there was a child from our compound who also went to the countryside, took the college entrance examination, and passed, but his admission letter was stolen by someone else.

Think about it, Wang Cheng is about to become the son-in-law of the captain's family.

Lin Qingyan didn't want to use her own future and safety to test the captain's character, nor would she easily define others as good or bad.

But I am very clear about not putting myself in danger in unfamiliar places, and I am also glad that I was transferred to Xishui Village. At least Xishui Village has a village chief which is a good thing.

"It is still the learned people who speak in a more pleasant way." The village chief laughed.

"Uncle, let's go back first."

"Go back quickly, you've been busy all day." The village chief waved his hand.

Only then did Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi carry the packages, walk out of the brigade headquarters and head towards the educated youth site.

"It's not easy for these children to leave their parents and go to the countryside. As long as it doesn't cause trouble, we should try to provide them with convenience. Everyone has children, and this is a good deed for them."

The village chief watched Lin Qingyan and the others walk away before speaking to the team leader who had been silent in the house.

The captain nodded and said "Yeah!"

In fact, the captain also knew that this was an opportunity for the village chief to warn or remind him, and he might have heard rumors in the village.

Most of the villagers in Xishui Village are surnamed Wang, and a small number are surnamed Li. The village chief's surname is Wang. The village chief's brothers participated in the War of Resistance Against Japan and he has a high status in the village.

What's more, after experiencing the Anti-Japanese War, the villagers live in groups and are more united.

The captain knew clearly that if he did not get the support of the village chief, he would not be able to hold on to his position as captain. Well, the little girl had never had any obvious conflict with him.

In fact, he was not very satisfied with Wang Cheng. He was an honest countryman who did not know much. He just felt that his eyes were not clear enough and he was calculating.

But Wang Cheng saved his daughter and even performed artificial respiration in public, otherwise he would not have wanted to marry his daughter to him.

Lin Qingyan and Ye Yi did not hear the conversation between the village chief and the team leader.

The two of them carried the package back to the educated youth site. They had just finished work, and everyone at the educated youth site was in the yard. They saw the two of them carrying a package together, and each of them had a different expression.

When Sun Qiushui saw it, she shouted, "Hey, this is something sent by your family again. Open it and let us see what it is."

As Sun Qiu Shui spoke, he walked forward and was about to take action.

"What are you doing?" Ye Yi stood in front of her.

"Why are you so stingy? It's not your package."

"What? Just because it's not mine, you can steal it?"

"What are you talking about? We are all in the same educated youth camp. If there are any good things, can't we open them and have a look?"

Lin Qingyan really couldn't stand this kind of person who was so outgoing that it seemed like they had a very good relationship.

"No, why should I show you my stuff? Stealing will get you a prison sentence, but I don't know how this kind of naked robbery will be handled. Should you be sentenced directly or shot?"

"Don't make a big deal out of it. It's just that everyone wants to see what your family sent you and who wants to steal your things."

"Everyone wants to see it?" Lin Qingyan looked at everyone else and asked. No one in the yard answered.

"I think you're the only one who wants to 'see' it?" Lin Qingyan sneered.

"Qingyan, what did your uncle and aunt send you?"

Wang Cheng was also at the educated youth camp this time, and he knew that most of the things in every package Lin Qingyan received were for him to use.

He was also very curious about what was in the package. Ever since Lin Qingyan recovered from the illness caused by falling into the water, she no longer paid any attention to him. He didn't know how much stuff could fall into his hands from such a big package.

"Who are your uncles and aunts? Do they know you?"

Lin Qingyan was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Cheng. She really couldn't stand the fact that he thought he was married to Li Cuihua and she could still support him as before. It was disgusting.

"Qingyan, you, it's inexplicable, how did you become like this?" Wang Cheng looked at Lin Qingyan with a sad expression, as if he didn't know her.

"What? I'm no longer stupid enough to give you the things my family sent me, so I've changed my attitude?"

Lin Qingyan was disgusted and couldn't help but retort.

"Don't talk nonsense. When have I ever asked for subsidies from your family?" Wang Cheng was embarrassed and tried to defend himself.

"Would you like me to calculate it for you?"

"Lin Qingyan, I never asked you for anything. You just forced it on me." Wang Cheng couldn't bear to save face and said in a stiff tone.

Lin Qingyan thought of herself in her previous life and didn't know what to say. What Wang Cheng said was true.

In her previous life, every time her family sent something, she would actually take the initiative to give it to Wang Cheng.

Because as long as Wang Cheng told her that he needed something, she would give it to him immediately. Coincidentally, all the things Wang Cheng needed were sent by her family.

Lin Qingyan covered her head with her hands and cried because of her stupidity in her previous life.

"Okay, I'm stupid and blind. I just fed the food to the dog. A good dog doesn't block the road. Get out of the way. If you don't get out of the way, I'll beat the dog." Lin Qingyan said in a bad tone.

Wang Cheng was frightened by her momentum and subconsciously took a step back.

Lin Qingyan saw him move aside, then looked at the others and asked, "Does anyone else want to see what's in the package?"

He glanced at Sun Qiu Shui, then at Wang Xiangyu, who was full of jealousy. Seeing that they did not move forward, he and Ye Yi carried the package back to the house.
