NOVEL NEXT Chapter 16 The Educated Youth
The secretary couldn't hide the happiness on his face: "How long does it take to make a sample of your water wheel? Can we make a small trial first?" Lin Yu was a little embarrassed: "Although the sample is small, the connection of each component requires Repeated debugging, if it is fast, it will take a few hours, if it is slow, it will take several days."
When the secretary heard that it would take several days, he felt a little disappointed. However, he still tentatively asked: "How about you make one now? Uncle Zhou can help you?" Lin Yu looked at the westward sun and counted the time: "Then I'll give it a try!"
Lin Yu, who picked up the carving knife, was so focused that he didn't even notice what was happening in the outside world. Pieces of wood, long or short, were like obedient dough in her hands, and she could carve whatever shape she wanted. After a while, each part was born from Lin Yu's hands.
Halfway through, she suddenly remembered that this was something she was going to hand in, and that someone was watching. So she deliberately carved several wrong parts and repeatedly debugged them during assembly. It took until the sun went down to build a complete, palm-sized long ladder-type waterwheel.
Then Old Man Zhou specially took out a large bucket and a small bucket and poured water on a half-cut pipe to create a river. The waterwheel prototype was put in and suddenly started to spin under the wash of the water. When it was high in the air, the cage with water was spread to the long ladder cage, and finally sprinkled where Lin Yu wanted it to reach.
The secretary laughed happily when he saw the success of the experiment. He didn't expect... there are such talents in the village he manages! This is his blessing! It’s also good luck for the country!
"Okay, okay! Erya, you are really our great hero! The motherland cannot do without a genius like you! I will take these two away first, and wait for my uncle to apply for a big reward for you."
Captain Lin, who had also been with him for several hours, had a visible smile on his serious face: "Erya, you did a good job." With this little guy here, their Hongqi Village has a name in front of the leaders. ! If something good happens then, why don't you be the first to notify them?
Lin Yu kept saying the same words over and over again: "It's all because of everyone's care over the years that I haven't missed my studies. Thank you Grandpa Zhou for giving me the opportunity to study."
The secretary patted Captain Lin on the shoulder: "I have seen the atmosphere in Hongqi Village. It is indeed a good village that unites and helps each other."
Captain Lin's eyebrows were about to fly with joy. With the secretary's words, not only would he become an advanced village, but the title of a higher-level Civilized and Mutual Assistance Village would also be just around the corner!
With that said, the two of them walked out, one on the left and the other on the right. Lin Yu followed Lin Fei and Old Man Zhou to say goodbye and left together.
Seeing the two children following behind, the secretary smiled and said, "Erya, there's no need to give it away! I have a bicycle."
Lin Yu glanced at him but didn't open his mouth yet. Lin Fei said straightforwardly: "Uncle, my sister and I are going home for dinner!"
The secretary was very happy, and he didn't feel embarrassed about misunderstanding. He dug into his pocket and took out two candies. Fortunately, before going out, his son naughtily hid two candies for him, otherwise there would be no candy to coax the child.
"Then you go back and have a good meal. Xiao Fei helped me a lot today and I will reward you with candy." Lin Fei glanced at Lin Yu and happily accepted it when she nodded.
At the intersection, Lin Yu said goodbye to the team leader and secretary.
Looking at the two children walking away, the secretary patted Captain Lin on the shoulder again: "If your village has such talents, don't bury them. Although I'm not interested in studying now, I can't fall behind in literacy." Thinking of the current situation situation, the secretary sighed.
The captain nodded and said seriously: "Secretary, I will always remember it!"
"Not bad! How did you handle the issue of the educated youth's residence?"
The captain said to him as he walked: "The Educated Youth Center has been cleaned up. It is an old house left over from previous years. Although it is dilapidated, it has been renovated, and safety and quality are guaranteed."
The secretary then nodded: "I can rest assured that you will do your job. The educated youths come from the city to build a beautiful countryside. We must give them the same enthusiasm as family members! Okay, it's time for me to go back."
"I understand, then walk slowly."
Captain Lin said directly, without any intention of asking anyone to stay for dinner. Nowadays, all the leaders are very smart. It is definitely impossible to stay for a meal or something.
What should I do if someone reports me for accepting bribes?
Captain Lin had also thought about this, so he never invited the commune leaders to dinner or sent anything to their homes.
If you have this time, you might as well take care of your children.
The day after the secretary left, Lin Yu's life returned to calm. But the number of people greeting her on the road has obviously increased, and knowing that her vegetable patch is not mature yet, she receives side dishes from various aunts and sisters-in-law every day.
Tomatoes today, eggplants tomorrow.
My father and mother go out happily every day and come back happily. Father Lin's back straightened up a lot. It can be seen that it is a true thing that happy events can make people energetic.
On the contrary, Lin Fubao's life seems to be less happy than before. The people she greeted when she went out were also there, but they didn't come close to her. The children who usually liked to move closer to her also moved closer to Lin Fei, curious about the moving doll in his hand.
My grandma would lose her temper every day when she came back from a trip. Lin Fubao was tired of coaxing people, but she had to coax her.
Because she has always been a well-behaved and lovely child in Grandma Lin's heart, and she loves Grandma Lin the most. There were few children playing with Lin Jin. He looked at Lin Fei's wooden doll eagerly every day. But Lin Fei asked him to go over to play regardless of previous suspicions, but he refused to go.
Thinking of the reasons for changing his life, Lin Fubao couldn't help but bite his lip. These days, she doesn't even go to the mountains very often. Although there were no changes in the things she picked up, I had seen her come back with a box full of fruits, wild vegetables, and mushrooms and kept praising her for her good luck. She was a lucky person, but she turned a blind eye.
Instead, it stuck tightly to Lin Yu and his family. Wasn't it just a farming tool? What's so great about it? Now the public has been going out for several days, but there is still no movement at all! At first glance, it seems like something that is not worth worrying about for leaders!
Only these blind guys are happy...
Old Mrs. Lin pulled the vegetable leaves hard and cursed with a long, stinky face. The old man took a sip of water and didn't answer. Anyway, Mr. Lin and his wife gave him face outside.
Recently, when the children in the village saw him, they even praised him and made him very happy. As for the old woman being laughed at, she can't blame others. Everyone is happy when Erya does something good, but she always throws cold water on her.
She couldn't change her temper ever since she got married, and Old Man Lin had nothing to say to her. People have to make do with life when they are old, so why should they leave?
Fu Bao sighed, and skillfully approached her to comfort her a few words. Seeing that she was in a better mood, he said, "My dad will be back in a few days, and he will definitely bring a big piece of meat to grandma!"
Mrs. Lin smiled happily when she heard this: "My Fu Bao is still kind to me! I know how to let your father buy meat to honor me! It's not like those heartless things..."
