Send me to the countryside? Turn around and make you homeless!

Li's parents have a low level of education, and in the current environment, many people think that studying is useless. Families with less education think that attending literacy classes and being able to read and write in elementary school are enough.

Families with better conditions would let their children go to junior high school and then to technical secondary school, which was enough. As long as they went to technical secondary school, they could be assigned to a factory.

Li's parents also had the same idea. Li Xiu was an example. She went to school, but after junior high school, she failed to get into a technical secondary school, so she simply stopped studying.

She was like this, and so were her younger siblings. Li Xiu picked up the books because Tan Yuan always liked to let her read, let everyone read, and attached importance to the studies of the children in the team.

Now when she comes back to the brigade, she will take time to read books and practice calligraphy. Her handwriting is much better than before. When she writes letters home, she will also remind her younger brothers and sisters to study hard. But even so, the handwriting of Li Xiu and her younger brothers and sisters is far worse than that in this letter.

Tan Yuan's puzzled look made Li Xiu feel guilty. She was afraid that as long as Tan Yuan asked, she would tell everything. Would Tan Yuan think she was dreaming?

Li Xiu couldn't ignore Tan Yuan's opinion. If she really felt that way, should she give up?

In just a short moment, Li Xiu thought a lot and her tears were about to come out. She didn't even need to wait for Tan Yuan to ask, she could hardly hold it back.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Li Xiu opened her mouth, but there was a knock on the door from the other end.

It was not yet dark, and the farm had no habit of closing the gate before dark. The women's director of the brigade appeared in front of the gate with a smile on her face.

"Director Lin? Come in, come in."

Tan Yuan turned around and saw that it was Director Lin Meilin. She greeted him warmly, not caring about Li Xiu who was struggling with her conscience and was about to tell all her secrets.

Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, quickly crumpled the letter into her sleeve, took the notebook handed to her by Tan Yuan and went back to the house, without even having time to say hello to Director Lin.

Lin Mei was stunned: "What happened to Comrade Li Xiu?"

She was the women's director of the brigade, chosen by so many people in the brigade. She was always sensitive to other people's emotions. Naturally, she didn't miss Li Xiu's series of reactions just now.

"It's okay, I was just telling her a story."

Tan Yuan made up a reason.

Fortunately, Lin Mei was not very curious about the story that Tan Yuan told, so she did not ask Tan Yuan to tell it to her again, which also saved Tan Yuan from making up another story. After saying a few polite words, she took out a pornographic letter from her pocket.

"This is yours. I just arrived today and heard that you were back, so I brought it to you specially."

A letter? Tan Yuan quickly took it and saw the signature on it. It was from Linlin.

Counting the days, it has been more than three months since Linlin left. She had promised to write to her when she left, but she ended up waiting for three months. Even when she wanted to send a letter to Linlin, she didn't know where to send it.

I had already planned to write a letter to her after knowing her address, but now when I received her letter, my heart softened unexpectedly, and all the bad emotions I had before disappeared.

Tan Yuan felt that she had a lot to say to Nian Lin, and the letter would definitely be very thick, filling up the entire envelope.

His heart was filled with joy, and he even liked Lin Mei a lot more, and his tone of voice became gentler.

Seeing Tan Yuan's genuine joy, Lin Mei boldly inquired, "I heard that you, the team leader, have returned, and they want you to continue to be the director of our dried tofu factory... Don't get me wrong, I absolutely support you. Without you, we wouldn't have this factory. In my opinion, Director Xiang is a piece of shit. He's been at the dried tofu factory for so long, and he hasn't achieved anything. He's just been busy trying to seize power."

After hearing this, Lin Mei really felt that what she said was absolutely right. Isn't that the case? Xiang Beifang has been here for several months. When she thinks about how Tan Yuan set up a factory within a few months of coming to the brigade, Xiang Beifang is useless in comparison.

Lin Mei kept talking to herself, getting more and more excited as she criticized Xiang Beifang. After a long while, she realized that Tan Yuan didn't agree with her at all. She felt a little embarrassed: "Well... I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first. If you want to send a letter, just send it to the brigade headquarters..."

The shameless Lin Mei could also understand the expression on Tan Yuan's face. She knew that Tan Yuan didn't want to talk too much to her, and she felt embarrassed to stay here and be an eyesore.

Only after she left the door and was out of sight did she change her expression and replace it with one of disdain: "Bah, what's so noble about me? I'm still being suppressed by others."

Some people are optimistic about Tan Yuan, while others are not. Tan Yuan doesn't care. The most important thing for her right now is to write a letter, a letter from southern Yunnan.

Carefully tearing open the seal, he pulled out the letter inside. Familiar handwriting, familiar tone. It was Linlin's letter...

After reading the letter over and over again until she could almost engrave its contents in her heart, Tan Yuan put away the information that could not be known to others, sorted out the ones that reported safety, took them out and called out to the house: "Grandma Xiuxiu, come out quickly, Linlin has written."

……

Southern Yunnan is completely different from Shu. There are tons of mosquitoes here, but the winters aren't too cold. Many of the insects here are new to Shu, and there are tons of banana trees...

There are many ethnic minorities in southern Yunnan. For example, where they are now, there are several ethnic minorities living there. The mountains here are more numerous and steeper than those in Shu. The ethnic minorities all live in the mountains. Often, when you move to a new mountain, you will learn a completely unfamiliar language...

The language barrier is the biggest problem, followed by all kinds of mosquitoes and miasma...

Life is hard, with mountains and forests everywhere. If you are not a local, you will easily get lost without anyone to show you the way.

It's not that I didn't write to Tan Yuan on purpose, it's just too difficult. Even though I have only been here for a short time, Nian Lin has already experienced several crises, some from the maze of mountains and forests, and some from the enemy.

The impression that Nian Lin left on his comrades was that he was skilled, intelligent, willing to endure hardships and had tenacity.

That's why Nian Lin was promoted to squad leader shortly after he arrived, and no one had any objections. After all, having a squad leader with a quick mind makes people feel more at ease than one with a stubborn mind.

"Report to the squad leader, the enemy has appeared and is coming towards us."

Nian Lin nodded and made a downward gesture with his palm. The next time, everyone in camouflage uniforms and headbands made of leaves lay down and hid. Without careful observation, it was impossible to tell the difference between this place and other places.
