Bringing space back to the 1970s to develop rural areas

Yang Qingdai tiptoed and hid outside the cafeteria door like a thief, secretly watching what the two elderly people inside were doing.

The result disappointed her greatly, and the two of them just sat there quietly, occasionally talking to each other.

That's it?

Yang Qingdai’s eyes were about to pop out of her head.

Old leader, don’t sit there like an idiot, stand up!

She even specially created an opportunity for the old leader to be alone with the aunt, how come she didn't know how to seize the opportunity?

After confirming that the two of them were just staying there quietly, Yang Qingdai stood up and tried to create a "voice before the person arrives": "Old leader, I heard that you came to see me early in the morning."

Yang Qingdai didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that her old leader was relieved to see her.

Something is wrong. Something is wrong. Isn't the atmosphere a bit inexplicably awkward?

"Xiao Yang, are you tired after such a long trip to Hong Kong?" The old leader waved for her to come closer. "You look fine, and you haven't lost weight. Now that you're back, your aunt can rest assured."

Yang Qingdai felt that she was smiling with a fake smile, "Old leader, you care about me so much~ Auntie, you really have good intentions."

"What are you talking about?" The old leader was getting more and more annoyed. "Obviously, he was worried that a girl like you might get into trouble in Hong Kong and that it would be difficult to resolve. How did it involve your aunt?"

"It was clearly you who brought this upon yourself, why are you bringing it upon me now?" Yang Qingdai muttered in a low voice.

When she saw Yang Qingdai coming in, Aunt Wang went in and out busy with her own things.

Although there weren't many people in the courtyard, everyone had a good appetite. Especially since they started morning exercises, their appetite increased greatly, thanks to Xie Qiqi's constant help.

"Girl, don't say such things in front of your aunt in the future. She is thin-skinned, otherwise she will drive me away again."

While the old lady was out, the old leader whispered to Yang Qingdai and secretly glanced at the situation outside, worried that Aunt Wang would suddenly come in.

Yang Qingdai shook her head and sighed, "Old leader, where is the decisiveness you had when you killed the enemies on the battlefield? Show it out and make a quick decision. You are dithering like a woman. That won't work."

The old leader was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at her, "Can the scene on the battlefield be compared with this?"

One is full of blood and flesh, the other is full of romance, how can they be the same? This broken child is exactly the same as Chen Yu's two brothers who were let go. He really can't be kept.

"Old leader, you'd better take good care of your injury and stay out of bed less so that it will heal faster."

Hearing the footsteps outside, Yang Qingdai immediately changed the subject, "Try to come to our place during the Spring Festival to have New Year's Eve dinner together."

Next year will be a good year, and she wants to ask Chen Yu, Zhang Daqiang and others to bring Old Liu back to liven up the new year.

Chen Xiao was not in her worry range. Xiao Ziling went abroad and would definitely come back during the holidays. Counting on her fingers, she found that the only person she couldn't contact was Yang Qingshan.

But judging by the time, their team will be back soon.

"Old leader, would you like to eat something together?"

Su Mo carried a pile of steamed buns and distributed them to the guards who were wiping their sweat and taking a rest nearby. Xie Qiqi also brought them some porridge.

They glared at Su Mo in reproach. His injuries had only healed for a short time, but he was already restless. Every day he had to fight with them for a few moves before he could eat in peace.

Su Mo chuckled when she glared at him, and Yang Qingdai simply couldn't bear to watch.

I haven't even had breakfast yet and they force-fed me a stomach full of dog food. How am I going to live like this from now on?

(╯‵ ′)╯︵┻━┻

Although she was going crazy in her heart, Yang Qingdai was still very happy for Su Mo to see what he has today.

"Su Heitan, you are not young anymore, are you?" Yang Qingdai poked the big steamed bun in the bowl, "We have prepared almost everything for you, when are you going to get married?"

How could she finish such a big bun? When Yang Ziling was not around, she was too embarrassed to break off half of the bun to give to others.

Wang Changfeng had no taboos. He stretched out his hand and broke off half of the bun and returned it to her. "It's been so long. How come you still can't even finish a bun?"

Yang Qingdai shrugged: "Nothing I can do. I am definitely from the south. How can I chew this steamed bun that is bigger than my face?"

"Aren't Tang Danni and Qu Dongdong also from the south? They can finish it all." Wang Changfeng sneered at her.

"Oh, they have activities in the morning. I am tired from the journey and haven't adjusted yet." He would never admit the fact that he doesn't like to eat staple foods.

After finishing their meal with lots of chatting and laughing, Qu Mei followed her old leader and left. Even the two guards that Su Mo had originally intended to leave with them were packed up and sent back:

"Old leader, we are just going out for a stroll, not to fight. There is no need to bring guards."

The guard who was sent back: ...You said it as if you could use us if you took us out to fight. We would still be disliked by you as a hindrance and could only "maintain order" outside.

Yang Qingdai looked at the scene with amusement. They really just went out for a stroll and stopped by the Cultural Relics Bureau to see what "new stuff" there was recently.

It's a bit exaggerated to mobilize such a large number of troops.

Finally, the old leader couldn't persuade them and had to take the people away, repeatedly reminding them not to let themselves suffer any loss when they were out, and that he would take care of anything that happened.

Yang Qingdai looked at them in confusion: "Has anything big happened recently? I saw that the old leader looked quite nervous."

"Yes, a serious criminal case." Su Mo vaguely said, "Didn't you see the dark circles under Zhang Guochang's eyes yesterday, and the bags under his eyes that were almost hanging down to his chest?"

I learned this statement from Yang Qingdai.

"Oh, it's really hard work." Yang Qingdai said in a mature tone, "Just for a few pieces of silver, I am willing to risk my life."

Su Mo: "... Crazy girl, why do I feel that you are mocking us instead of just complaining about Zhang Guochang?"

Wow, you are becoming more self-aware.

From Su Mo at the beginning, to Tang Danbai later, to Zhang Guochang now, each of them is risking his life for a few pieces of silver.

Speaking of which, the ones who suffered the most were Su Mo and Tang Danbai. They had to pay out of their own pockets all their salaries and bonus allowances. They were so poor that they had to sign IOUs everywhere.

I've seen people working, but I've never seen someone who gets poorer the more he works.

Yang Qingdai smiled, "Guess."

Su Mo was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he could do nothing about it. His entire fortune was in her hands and he couldn't afford to offend her.

"Crazy girl, tell me the truth, have you found any way to make money recently?" Su Mo leaned close to her and asked in a low voice.

Yang Qingdai raised her head and looked at him sideways, "What are you doing? Don't tell me you want to get involved like Tang Danbai did?"

"why not?"
