On the other side, Zhou Tinghao and his brother were happily chatting while busy, unaware that their mother was thinking in her mind whether they could find her the daughter-in-law of her dreams.

The busy people just went home to eat after work at a certain time, but this time it was not only the team leader and Zhou Tingfeng who went home, but also Lin Zhiqiang and Zhou Tinghao.

The four men chatted happily on the way home. Zhou Tingfeng asked his younger brother how he was doing in the army, and Lin Zhiqiang asked the captain if his younger sister was being bullied in the army.

In short, everyone has their own topics to talk about, but the different topics do not conflict at all. On the contrary, the others listen with great interest.

In such an atmosphere, they quickly walked to the captain's house. As soon as they arrived at the door, they smelled bursts of fragrance coming from the house.

The lingering aroma made the captain, who rarely got to eat meat on weekdays, swallow his saliva. This made his body, which was already tired from the afternoon work, quickly send out signals that he wanted to eat and was hungry.

Even the children from other teams were hanging around near the team leader's house, always wanting to take a few more breaths of the fragrance. When the children saw the team leader and others approaching the door, they made gestures to flee the scene.

Although those children were a little thin, each of them was dressed neatly and cleanly, and they did not go to the captain's house to ask for food. They just smelled the fragrance from afar. Now that they saw their master coming back, they wanted to leave.

But how could these children's actions escape the eyes of Zhou Tinghao and the others? Just as the children were about to run away, they heard the tall man say:

"Hey, kids, don't run away yet. Come here quickly. I'll give you some candy."

Lin Zhiqiang who said this felt that the five or six children in front of him were not the kind of naughty ones, so it was worthwhile to give them a few candies. After all, his younger sister would be able to save a lot of trouble when she was in this team with other children paying attention to and helping her.

Although these children are still young, the oldest looks only about seven or eight years old, but they have a wide range of activities and do not have to go to work. They definitely know more than those who have to work.

If I could get some information out of them that others didn't know, it would be helpful for this mission. And if I gave them candy, they would have a better impression of my sister, which would also be considered as helping my sister to establish a good relationship.

After Lin Zhiqiang sorted out these things that were beneficial to him, he saw the children running in front of him, and they hurriedly took out the candies they had put in their pockets a long time ago.

The candies in his pocket were obtained after he woke up from his lunch break. Seeing that the other educated youth were going to the kitchen to get buns, he went to his younger sister's room, grabbed some from the bag on the table and put them in his pocket. He would give them to his younger sister if she was tired before work.

Unexpectedly, he and his sister were not assigned to work together, but were divided into two teams. When he went to help his sister to work, his sister did not have to work. She only had to go back to the team leader's house to cook and help with chores, so he had not eaten the candy in his pocket.

This was a good deal for Lin Zhiqiang. He looked at the child in front of him, and silently counted the candies in his pocket. There were only enough for two for each child. Fortunately, he could still tell them apart. It would be embarrassing if he didn't divide them fairly.

While distributing candies, he did not forget to curry favor with his sister and said, "Just keep these candies to yourself. I am the brother of Lin Zhiqing, the doctor at the health station in your team."

The children who received candies happily circled around Lin Zhiqiang and shouted in unison: "Thank you, Brother Lin." "Brother Lin is so nice, just like Sister Lin. Sister Lin also gives us candies occasionally." "Of course they are nice. Brother Lin and Sister Lin are the best people in the world."…………

Lin Zhiqiang looked at the polite children before him and noticed that none of them ate the candy after receiving it, but instead put it in their pockets. Lin Zhiqiang pretended to express his doubts, but in reality, he wanted to get closer to the children so that he could explain his other purpose:

"Why didn't you eat the candy? Instead, you put it in your pocket."

The children stopped talking after hearing this question and answered seriously: "Brother Lin, I want to take this candy back to my grandma to eat." "I want to give it to my dad. The autumn harvest will come soon and he will be very tired." "I want to give it to my dad too." "I, I, I want to give it to my mom. My mom is always the best to me."…………

Hearing these answers, Lin Zhiqiang couldn't help but look carefully at the children in front of him. Each of them had such a sincere smile on their face. When they said these words, they did not feel sorry for not being able to eat candy. Their tone was full of joy for being able to feed their family members.

Looking at such innocent children, I wanted to trick them into talking, but on the other hand, I really wanted to help these children more, so I said:

"I heard from your sister Lin that you kids usually go out to collect firewood or dig some wild vegetables. Can I ask you to help me collect some firewood or dig some wild vegetables?

It's just that the autumn harvest will start tomorrow, and you have to follow behind to pick up wheat ears and the like, so you won't have time to help me. Then you can give these to Sister Lin after the autumn harvest. Sister Lin will give you corresponding rewards, such as duck eggs, chicken eggs or candies.

Finally, I took a leave of absence to come to your village. I have a lot of curiosity. Can you come and play with me after work? "

At first, Zhou Tinghao just thought that Lin Zhiqiang really wanted to find these children to help his sister collect firewood or dig wild vegetables, in order to help these children. After all, these children would run around the mountains and play every day, and it was easy for them to collect some firewood or dig some wild vegetables.

After hearing the last sentence, I realized that these children didn't have to work before the autumn harvest, so they could know things that others didn't know.

So Zhou Tinghao also took out some candies from his pocket and gave two to each person, but the candies he gave were fruit hard candies. He wanted to buy them home to supplement nutrition for his family during the autumn harvest.

It's enough to supplement nutrition. White Rabbit is much more expensive than fruit hard candy. It's better to buy more fruit hard candy. He only has this little candy in his pocket. Now he gave it all away. After giving the candy, he said to the child in front of him:

"Then take your candies and go back to eat early, so your family members won't come looking for you later.

You can go chat with Brother Lin after work on weekdays. He loves listening to other people chat and also likes chatting with children. He has a lot of candy, so feel free to go and chat with him when you get off work!

After hearing Zhou Tinghao's words, the child looked at Lin Zhiqiang for confirmation. Lin Zhiqiang gave an accurate answer:

"Your brother Zhou is right. You can come to me after work. I can handle the autumn harvest. When you come to me, I will tell you about the army and give you some candy.

You guys go back and eat now, but don't forget to come find me when the time comes. I live in the small courtyard of your health center."

After receiving a positive answer and being able to hear new things about the army, the children excitedly turned around in front of a few people twice, then said goodbye to the people in front of them with a smile, and ran away, each returning home.

After watching the whole process, the team leader just felt that he was worthy of being Lin Sitian's brother, as he was so kind to these strangers in the team.

He didn't believe that anyone really liked to chat. There was nothing good to talk about these trivial things in the team. He just wanted to help these children in an alternative way.

Aunt Zhou and the others had heard the noise outside a long time ago and had already brought the food to the table, but they saw that no one was coming into the house.

Aunt Zhou's shout outside happened to interrupt what the captain wanted to say. After being interrupted, the captain just asked everyone to go home.

After everyone entered the house, they smelled a stronger fragrance than outside. The captain and the others quickly took Lin Zhiqiang to wash their hands. After washing their hands, they came to the living room and saw on the table:

There were pork stewed with radish, vermicelli stewed with sauerkraut, braised spareribs, stir-fried bok choy, scrambled eggs with cucumber, cold-mixed dandelions, and a serving of boiled beans. The staple food was steamed white buns.

Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, the team leader couldn't help but say to his eldest son, "Zhou Tingfeng, go to the cabinet in my room and get the wine that Lin Zhiqing gave me last time. I'm happy today, so let's have a drink with the Lin brothers and sisters as a family."

Seeing her old man's unruly look, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but say, "If you want to drink, ask Brother Lin to drink with you. Little Lin, the educated youth, is a girl and will definitely feel uncomfortable at work tomorrow if she drinks. You guys can play with other guys, and I'll chat with Little Lin."
