Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

At this moment, Fangyuan.

He was living a very comfortable life in Qin Family Village, and the villagers were very polite to him.

Firstly, Fang Yuan doesn't put on any airs of a college student cadre;

Secondly, he had saved Qin Xiangye's life;

Thirdly, without him, there would have been no wild boar that gave them such a delicious meal;

Therefore, in just a few days, he successfully became somewhat familiar with most of the villagers in Qin Family Village, to the point that now people greet him wherever he goes.

They either said he was handsome or praised him for being kind-hearted.

As for the village chief Qin Youtian, after a few drinking sessions with him, he had completely submitted to Fang Yuan and now dared not mention the drinking contest in front of him anymore.

What truly made Fang Yuan feel comfortable was that, even though most villagers were struggling to get enough to eat, everyone had only one goal: to fill their stomachs.

Therefore, there is much less infighting.

It's nothing more than so-and-so arguing over work points, so-and-so getting lonely and sneaking up behind the wall at night and getting beaten up...

After decisively rejecting Aunt Wang's idea of ​​introducing him to a wife from the east end of the village, Fang Yuan led Tie Dan and the others, who had just finished cutting pig feed, to the ancient tree at the entrance of the village.

A group of teenagers, not too young, were watching.

Fang Yuan tossed away his cigarette butt and immediately began telling the story of Journey to the West with great enthusiasm. Just as he finished telling the story of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Qin Youtian shouted at him from the nearby ridge: "Phone! Officer Fang has your phone number!"

Fang Yuan quickly chased Tie Dan and the others away, then went to the office in the village square and picked up a microphone from the table.

"Hello, this is Fang Yuan."

"Little Fang, this is Li Jianye."

"Hello, Director Li."

"How are you doing in Qin Family Village?"

"It's great. The local people know I come from the steel mill, and they are very welcoming to me."

"That's good. The organization has made new arrangements for you. Hurry back and be sure to be at Hongxing Steel Plant first thing tomorrow morning."

"Director Li, it hasn't been half a month yet..."

"You don't need to worry about that."

"Okay, Director Li."

"Okay, then be careful on your way back. Remember, this is a tough task..."

After hanging up the phone, even a fool would realize how polite Li Jianye had been when he spoke to him.

Fang Yuan wondered, could there be some new development in the factory office?

Or perhaps Lin Xianghua made the move?

Are there new arrangements for him?

Before Fang Yuan could think further, Qin Youtian, who was smoking a pipe nearby, naturally heard Li Jianye's voice on the phone and immediately asked, "Officer Fang, are you going back?"

"Yes, I need to pack my things and leave right away."

After saying that, he stopped dawdling, went to Qin Youtian's house, put the big yellow horse back on the harness, and then hurried to Old Master Cheng's place.

After a few days of rest, the big yellow horse seemed to have been rejuvenated and was walking with extra vigor.

"Grandpa, I'm going back now."

Upon entering the courtyard, Fang Yuan noticed that Grandpa Cheng hadn't gone out to treat patients, so he immediately greeted him.

"I knew you wouldn't stay for more than half a month," Old Master Cheng said frankly, tapping the pipe in his hand on the chair.

"You're truly a master strategist," Fang Yuan said as he walked back into his room.

After he finished packing his things and came out, Grandpa Cheng personally escorted him to the gate of the courtyard.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard, Fang Yuan took out five yuan from his pocket and handed it to Grandpa Cheng.

Grandpa Cheng was taken aback, then waved his hand and said, "This place belongs to the government, so I don't charge for lodging."

Fang Yuan said in a serious tone, "I'm learning from you, and I plan to take five yuan from my salary every month. If anyone is in trouble, please help me arrange it."

Grandpa Cheng didn't accept it. Instead, he advised, "You don't need to follow my example. I'm just an old man with no worries, that's why I did this. Don't be impulsive, young man."

Fang Yuan said nonchalantly, "What's the rush? That's all. After all, I'm not married yet. But as long as my salary increases by one level in the future, I'll give you an extra five yuan."

Seeing that Fang Yuan was determined, Old Master Cheng stopped trying to persuade him and laughed, "Then shouldn't I be hoping that you get promoted as soon as possible?"

Fang Yuan clasped his hands in a fist and said loudly, "Then I'll take your kind words."

"Hey kid, don't go yet."

Just as the two were about to part, Old Master Cheng suddenly called out to Fang Yuan, and then went back to his room. When he came out again, he had a small rectangular wooden plaque in his hand, with a red string tied to it.

"Here's a little trinket for you, an old man who carved it himself."

Fang Yuan took the wooden plaque and discovered that it was made of an unknown material and had a faint fragrance.

Upon closer inspection, the sign was engraved with four numbers: "1938".

Fang Yuan gripped the wooden plaque tightly in his hand and said solemnly, "Thank you, sir. I didn't expect you to have so many skills. I will carry this with me from now on."

He knew perfectly well what those four numbers meant, and without a second thought, he hung them around his neck and stuffed them into his clothes.

As if knowing Fang Yuan was about to leave, the big yellow dog next to him started barking incessantly.

Fang Yuan patted the dog's head and bid farewell to this "comrade-in-arms" who had gone through life and death trials with him.

Watching Fang Yuan get into the carriage and drive away, Old Master Cheng muttered to himself, "Old friend, do you think we should go back sometime and give him a scare?"

Big Yellow: "Woof woof woof."

"Alright, alright, I won't go, I won't go. I know you're reluctant to leave here, and this old man is reluctant to leave my old buddies too." As he spoke, Old Master Cheng looked towards the abandoned coal mine.

When Fang Yuan returned to Qin Family Village, many villagers already knew he was leaving and came to the roadside to wave to him.

This visit and investigation made Fang Yuan realize the hardships of Qin Family Village. Another point was that although they lived a hard life, the people here were full of hope and spirit, and their eyes were mostly bright.

"Officer Fang, thank you for saving me."

"Brother Fang, we, the Vanguard Grass-Cutting Company, will always remember you, and we will never forget the three instructions you taught us."

"Brother Fang, when you come back next time, I'll go hunting in the mountains with you."

"Brother Fang, I'm going to my cousin's house tomorrow, see you then~"

Qin Xiangye has slowly emerged from the shadows. After Fang Yuan's persuasion over the past few days, no one in the village is pointing fingers at her anymore. As for what will happen in the future, Fang Yuan plans to try to secure those few positions at the steel rolling mill when he gets back.

After seeing Fang Yuan off, Qin Youtian turned to his son Tiedan and asked, "What did you just say about the grass-cutting company?"

"Dad, it's the Vanguard Grass-Cutting Company."

"What the hell? The lawnmower company? Just a few little brats like you?"

"Brother Fang said that although the number of us combined is only enough for one class, we absolutely cannot lose in terms of momentum. We must make the grass cutters in the next village tremble at the mere mention of our name. That's why we're called the Vanguard Grass Cutting Company."

Tie Dan emphasized the word "pioneer" with particular emphasis, and his small body exuded a strong sense of honor.

Upon hearing Tie Dan's words, Village Chief Qin couldn't help but interject, asking, "So, what were those three instructions that Cadre Fang taught you just now?"

"Brother Fang told us to always maintain our revolutionary enthusiasm."

"Is there anything else?"

"Going out to cut grass is like fighting; in battle, you must not be afraid to make sacrifices and be willing to give your all."

"And the last one?"

"And...and...and also, they told us not to peep at girls when they go to the toilet or take a shower anymore. If we get caught, we must cover our faces when we run away."

Qin Youtian was stunned for a moment, then raised his foot and kicked Tie Dan in the butt.

"You little rascal, so you've actually been there?"
