Seeing that the money she had paid for the supplies had been received and the problem had been solved, and that time was getting later and later, Lin Sitian finally stood up and said goodbye:

"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou, Xiaoyun, it's really late now. I decided to go back, otherwise the educated youth in our courtyard will be worried."

Father Zhou thought about it. Now his family and the little girl in front of him have been interacting more and more frequently. Not only did his family receive such good supplies from her, but it is possible that her family background will help him. So he spoke directly:

"It's really late outside, but it's getting late. It's really not safe to ride your bike back. So, just eat first and then go back. I'll have my son drive you back in my car. Cars are faster than bikes, so you can eat and still go back faster than riding your bike!"

Just at this moment, Zhou Xiaoyun's brother's voice came from the kitchen: "Mom, Dad, little sister, Lin Zhiqing is here to eat."

Zhou Xiaoyun heard his brother's heavenly voice at this moment, so he hurriedly took his friend's wrist as he was about to leave and shook it, saying:

"Hey, Sister Lin, just eat at my house before you go back. My brother has already prepared the meal. If you don't eat at my house, your portion of food will be wasted. I don't know if it will go bad tomorrow. Why don't you stay and eat? It will be safer for my brother to take you home later."

Lin Sitian looked at the expectant eyes of Zhou's father, Zhou Xiaoyun, and Zhou's mother who were trying to persuade her to stay, and she smiled and responded, "Then I'll obey your orders. Thank you for your hospitality! ???·??·??*?? ??"

In this way, Lin Sitian had a delicious dinner at Zhou Xiaoyun's house. The dinner included: stewed chicken with potatoes, braised pork, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried Chinese cabbage, boiled pumpkin, and the staple food was rice.

Looking at the high-standard meal in front of her, Lin Sitian knew that Zhou Xiaoyun's family valued her very much. After all, food is precious in everyone's home, and no one would invite someone they don't have a good relationship with to eat meat, eggs, and white rice.

Although most of these dishes came from their own space, the fact that they would use the food from their own space to entertain themselves said it all.

Lin Sitian's first meal at someone else's home ended in a harmonious atmosphere with laughter. Finally, she transferred all the things on her bicycle to Zhou's father's cart and tied the bicycle to the cart again!

The busy afternoon passed by, and now I finally embarked on the journey home!

In the car, Zhou Jie felt that it would be too boring if the two of them didn't talk to each other, so he asked:

"Lin Zhiqing, do you still have that exquisite little hairpin or necklace you sold to my sister last time? My girlfriend's family also likes it. If you do, can you add those things to the transaction with my sister next time? I will give her the money then."

"That's easy. I'll bring you some next time we trade."

...............

The two chatted casually in the car until they finally arrived in front of the Xiangyang Production Brigade. Lin Sitian looked at the brigade so close and said to Zhou Jie:

"Comrade Zhou, please take me here. I'll ride my bike in. Otherwise, if you take me back, the aunts in the brigade will start another wave of rumors, which will be bad for both you and me."

Zhou Jie looked at the sky outside. Although it was late, it was not yet dark, nor was it pitch dark. So he did as Lin Sitian asked.

In this way, Lin Sitian tied a lot of things on the back seat of the bicycle, hung some things on the front handle of the bicycle, and pedaled the bicycle quickly to the gate of her yard!

When I was approaching the gate of my yard, I saw several little friends standing there, and those little friends were waving at me.

When I rode my bicycle into the yard, the educated youth standing at the door also followed the bicycle into the yard. Some of them helped to stabilize the bicycle, some helped to take things from the back seat, and some held things tied to the front of the bicycle!

Bai Wanting waited until Lin Sitian was steady before pulling her hand and walking towards the kitchen, saying:

"Lin Zhiqing, since you came back so late, we had dinner first, but we left some food for you. And don't worry, the food we left for you was specially picked out for you before we ate, and it's being kept warm in the kitchen."

Lin Sitian shook Bai Zhiqing's hand and looked at the other educated youths who were busy working for her. She had no intention of going to the kitchen and said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long and even waiting for me at the door. I'm sorry to have made you worry.

I had dinner at Director Zhou's house. I originally wanted to go to Director Zhou to ask him about my Chinese medicine business. After all, this topic is still quite sensitive nowadays.

To be absolutely sure, I made plans ahead of time, so we chatted for quite a while. I also called my family at Director Zhou's house to discuss the matter, which delayed me quite a bit, so I had dinner at his house before returning home.

After hearing these words, Bai Wanting did not feel angry because she had deliberately kept her hair and Lin Zhiqing did not eat. Instead, she felt fortunate that Lin Zhiqing had already eaten dinner, so she smiled and said:

"What's the big deal? It's great that you were able to finish your dinner. We were worried that you were hungry. We'll keep the bowl of rice warm in the pot and make you some egg fried rice for breakfast tomorrow morning!"

Besides, you went to Director Zhou's house to ask these questions for future plans. If you can really find herbs or provide medical consultations in our brigade in a reasonable and legal manner, it will also benefit us. How wonderful it would be."

Xia Zhiyan saw that the things in front of her had been taken to the room where the other educated youth usually ate and held ceremonies. She also took Lin Sitian's hand and walked towards that room and said:

"Yes, our brigade doesn't have a health station. If a few confused and jealous people report you, it could easily get you into trouble. It's great that you've planned everything out in advance. You're very thoughtful. Let's go to that room and tell us about your experience in town this time."

After hearing these words, the other educated youth also went to the room to wait and listen to Lin Sitian's words.

Wang Wenxiang was even more exaggerated. He ran back to his room, took out the apple he was reluctant to eat, handed it to Lin Sitian and said:

"Xiao Lin, you educated youth, take this apple. I tell you, it's super sweet and juicy. If you're thirsty or tired, just take a bite!"

Lin Sitian looked at the fruit in her hand that was produced from her own space, and happily accepted Wang Zhiqing's kindness after hearing the praise for the fruit. She began to recount what she had said at Director Zhou's house and what she had said to her parents.

After learning that the plan was 90% successful, Wang Wenxiang said happily, "So, what you're saying is that maybe our brigade will set up a health station in the future, and you'll be the doctor there?"

When Lin Sitian heard Wang Zhiqing's question, she immediately answered, "That's right, because if I want to go up the mountain to look for herbs legitimately, it will definitely delay a lot of work time.

But if we set up a health station in this brigade, I can officially go to the mountains to look for herbs and earn work points, so I don't have to do farm work, and I can also legitimately take care of the health of our family."

When Xia Zhiyan heard this, she immediately thought that Lin Zhiqing would no longer have to work on the farm and would have a decent job. She was afraid that the other Zhiqing would think too much, so she said happily:

"That's great! This way, our relationship with the other team members will become increasingly harmonious. After all, Lin Zhiqing lives in our compound and has a good relationship with us. Smart people know that you can't offend anyone but the doctor.

It’s also more convenient for us to see Lin Zhiqing for treatment. We don’t have to go to the health center. Most importantly, Lin Zhiqing prepares medicinal herbs in our yard, and we can learn a little bit from him! How great is that!

"Yes, yes, that's great!"

The other educated youths also echoed this. Seeing that it was getting late, they happily discussed it and then went to wash up and prepare for rest.

The team leader on the other side originally wanted to come to their yard to ask Lin Zhiqing about Chinese herbal medicine, but on the way, there was a quarrel in a family in the temporary team, so he went to mediate the conflict in the team, and planned to come back tomorrow to ask him in detail!
