And it is precisely because of this simplicity that we can create a happy life in the future.

So, no matter which era you are in now,
Keeping in mind your patriotic heart is the most important thing!
“You two, come out, why are you hiding outside the door?”

After Han Chunming shouted at the door,

A few seconds later, Cheng Jianjun and Wei Xiaoli stood up.

“Chun Ming? Are you okay?”

“What can I possibly do?”

“But you didn’t even recognize me just now. I thought you…”

Seeing Cheng Jianjun’s hesitation, Han Chunming slapped him hard in annoyance.
“I was just teasing you two, but who would have thought you would actually believe it! Also, Wei Xiaoli, why are you joining in the fun?”

After hearing this, Wei Xiaoli’s face suddenly showed a little bit of grievance.
He said, “I’m just worried about you,” and then ran away in a hurry.

Seeing her leaving, Han Chunming was obviously stunned for a moment.
An idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Could it be that at this time, that girl Wei Xiaoli has already started to like me?
“Um, Chunming, since you’re okay now, I’ll go back to work in the fields. Old Yang will take over your sheep-herding duty today. You take a rest first. I’m leaving now!”

Han Chunming nodded and sent Cheng Jianjun to the door.

Looking at his back as he left,
Han Chunming recalled many fragments of what he did to him later.

“Cheng Jianjun was originally a very honest guy, how could he become like that? No, I have to think of a way to make this guy walk on the right path, at least so that he won’t cause trouble for me in the future!”

That’s right!

Some people’s badness is not brought from their mother’s womb.
The reason why Cheng Jianjun changed from an honest man to a mean and evil person is that

To a large extent, it has something to do with what he experienced after returning to the city.

And if you want to completely conquer this kind of strong-willed person,
Then we must find a suitable opportunity to strike him down thoroughly, making him surrender and not have the slightest thought of resistance.

For this,

Han Chunming is quite confident that he can do it.

After all, I used to be a professional academic educator.

If you can’t even handle a young boy,
That’s too bad!

After lunch at the brigade, Han Chunming was still a little uncomfortable with the situation.

It is true that after forty-five years, let alone delicacies from land and sea,
As long as you have money, you can buy almost anything you want to eat.
But now, steamed buns made of mostly cornmeal and porridge with wild vegetables are considered a pretty good meal.
Han Chunming naturally knew that the current living conditions were difficult.

But when it’s my turn to experience it myself,
I can’t help but sincerely admire how optimistic and strong the older generation was back then.

Taking advantage of the time after lunch, when the villagers had not yet started working,
Han Chunming pretended to stroll around Xiaoqinghe Village and started to inquire.

“Uncle Zhang, you want to bask in the sun?”

“Hey, Han boy, isn’t it time for you guys to go back?”

Looking at the old man in front of him, Han Chunming squatted next to him and started chatting with him.
“It’s only half a month before I should go back. So much time has passed in a flash. It’s time to go home and see my mom!”

“That’s true. It’s not easy to let you little kids stay in the countryside for so long. You have to go back eventually. I can’t bear to let you go.”

“Don’t worry, sir. I will definitely come back to see you guys when I have the chance. By the way, I need to ask you something!”

“Oh? You want to ask me something? What is it?”

Han Chunming paused for a moment, and after confirming that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and continued:

“I heard that there was a legend about a treasure in Xiaoqinghe Village. You are the oldest in the village, do you know about it?”

Han Chunming’s question immediately made Uncle Zhang happy.

“Even you have heard of it? Yes, there is such a saying. It was said that a long time ago, a senior official in the court fell into the Xiaoqing River and lost his jade seal. I remember that when I was a child, I went into the river to search for it. It happened many years ago. What’s the matter? Do you have any ideas? I advise you not to speculate about it. It is probably just a legend.”

“Hi, I just heard about it by chance. Didn’t you just say it happened hundreds of years ago? So many people haven’t found it. I’m just curious.”

Farewell, Uncle Zhang.

On his way back, Han Chunming was not only thinking about it,

Since the system said there are treasures in Xiaoqing River, it must be true.
Moreover, if this treasure is really a jade seal as Mr. Zhang said,
It must have been difficult to find it after so many years.
But the system only leaves me half a month to complete the task.
Thinking of this, Han Chunming’s mood couldn’t help but become depressed.

“Han Chunming? Wait for me, why are you walking so fast?”

Suddenly, a hand reached out from behind and patted my shoulder.
Han Chunming just realized that someone was calling him.
“Cai Xiaoli? You called me?”

Seeing Han Chunming’s dull expression, Cai Xiaoli was a little mad, thinking that Han Chunming was too annoying.

I shamelessly came to him.
But he just acted like he didn’t take it seriously at all.

“Han Chunming, let me ask you, what do you really think? I want you to tell the truth!”

“Ah? What do you think?”

“you!.”

Cai Xiaoli stared and took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and then said:

“Didn’t I write it very clearly in the letter I gave you? Didn’t you read it?”

“letter?”

Hearing this word, Han Chunming was immediately struck by lightning.
That’s right, after the fusion of memories,

It is true that Cai Xiaoli secretly gave me a letter the night before.
But the letter seemed to have been lost before I traveled through time!
So, not only do I not know the contents of the letter now,

Even Han Chunming didn’t know before he traveled through time!
In addition, judging from Cai Xiaoli’s attitude just now, it was obvious that she would not give up unless she gave her an answer.

This. What should I do?

“Han Chunming! You didn’t really not read the letter, did you?”

“Ah no no no, how is that possible, I did see it, but…”

Seeing Han Chunming’s hesitation,
Cai Xiaoli could no longer hold back.
“Isn’t it just asking if you’re willing to work with me at the saccharine factory? Is it that difficult to answer?”

“Ahh? Saccharine Field?”

Han Chunming was stunned. He had never expected that Cai Xiaoli would ask about this.
That’s not right. According to normal development,

The next time I met Cai Xiaoli was at a food factory.

Could it be that she changed her mind just because I didn’t agree to go to the saccharine field with her?

Just when Han Chunming was thinking about how to choose,
His peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a thin black string on the chest of Cai Xiaoli’s coarse shirt, and underneath the string, there seemed to be a small, long object hanging.
Han Chunming didn’t know why.
I activated the Eye of Truth skill.
However, due to the clothes, the skill did not work.
Subconsciously, Han Chunming once again thought about it.

He reached out and tried to pull the small, long object out from under Cai Xiaoli’s collar.

result,

I just saw it pulled out to a corner,
Cai Xiaoli snatched it away and covered it up.

“Han Chunming! What are you doing? You are a hooligan!”

At this time, Cai Xiaoli’s cheeks were red.

Han Chunming then realized how excessive his actions were.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell into an awkward situation.
The stalemate lasted for nearly a minute.

It wasn’t until Cai Xiaoli heard someone approaching not far away,

He took the lead and pulled Han Chunming to hide behind a nearby wall.
“Um, Cai Xiaoli, can I say that I really didn’t mean it? I just wanted to see what you were wearing around your neck.”

Cai Xiaoli rolled her eyes, but her face was still red.

She covered her collar tightly with one hand and pointed at her chest with the other hand, saying cunningly:
“Want to know what’s in here? Tell me the answer first, and I’ll let you see it!”

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that something was wrong.
The place I pointed out and what I just said combined together, it seems a bit unserious.

Especially in this age when men and women are still very cautious about making friends,

Cai Xiaoli suddenly had the urge to find a crack in the ground to crawl into for what she had said!

Fortunately, Han Chunming was only interested in finding out what was on Cai Xiaoli’s neck.

He trusted his instincts.
In addition, from the glimpse just now,
He seemed to see that the small object was indeed a long object, and it was emitting a faint light.

“A saccharine factory? I’ll go! I can go! I’ll be a worker when I go back anyway, it doesn’t matter where I go!”

Han Chunming’s answer, which had been held back for a long time, immediately made Cai Xiaoli’s eyes light up.
“Well, since you promised me, you are not allowed to regret it! I will go and beg my boss as soon as we get back. Also, you are not allowed to tell anyone about this in advance!”

Han Chunming nodded.

He actually knew in his heart that it was not easy for young people today to find a job.
Especially for workers in state-owned factories, it was considered a stable job in this era.
Even if we know that these state-owned factories will be restructured in the future, we cannot expose it in advance!
Especially when one’s family situation is not good, one has no connections and no money.

Do you really expect to rely on Cheng Jianjun’s connections to go to the food factory like in the plot?

Well! Forget it!
As for why Cai Xiaoli went to such great lengths to get herself to go into the saccharine field with her,

Han Chunming is not stupid!
As for the relationship, it’s a little too early to talk about it now.
But thinking about the things that the original Cai Xiaoli would encounter in the future,

Han Chunming still felt a little bit reluctant.
We can only take one step at a time!

“Look, I agreed to what you asked me, so can you let me see what you have?”

Han Chunming rubbed his fingers together, looking impatient.

Seeing this, Cai Xiaoli pouted her lips in anger.

But he was still very obedient and pulled out the thing hanging on the black string from his collar, then took it down around his neck.

“Humph, it’s just a broken stone. I kept it because I thought it looked nice. Since you like it, I’ll give it to you!”

After putting the thing into Han Chunming’s hand, Cai Xiaoli left happily, humming a little tune whose name she didn’t know, and was obviously in a very good mood.

After Han Chunming got the small object,
Without saying anything, he activated the Eye of Truth skill.
“Incomplete Jade Seal: This item is a broken piece of the legendary treasure from Xiaoqing River. It can only be combined after the two pieces are collected.”

Seeing this tip, Han Chunming was overjoyed.

My intuition turned out to be correct.
The only thing I didn’t expect was that it was only half of the mission’s jade seal.

No wonder it looks square.
In this case, the seal on the top of the jade seal is the next mission target.
It is also worth noting that

Judging from the degree of wear and tear on the jade seal, it has been completely worn down into a solid piece of material.
The words on it have long disappeared. Even if the two parts can be put together, what’s the use?

Han Chunming was very puzzled about this.

But since the system requires it, I’d better just look for it myself.

Han Chunming carefully packed up his things, and he didn’t really plan to go back to rest.
Instead, he turned back along the path at the entrance of the village and prepared to try his luck in the Xiaoqing River.

“Aunt Sun, are you doing the laundry?”

There is a section of Xiaoqing River that is not very turbulent, so many people in the village wash their clothes here.

Aunt Sun saw that it was Han Chunming coming over, stopped what she was doing and responded:

“Chun Ming’er, I heard that you were injured this morning. Why don’t you go back and lie down instead of running around?”

Han Chunming waved his hand.

“It’s just a minor injury. Besides, I’m young and strong, so it’s nothing serious. By the way, where’s my uncle Sun?”

“He went to the city to sell chicks today, and will be back at nightfall. Your uncle Sun couldn’t bear to part with you kids, so he wanted to sell some chickens to buy some wine, and then he can send you off.”

Han Chunming was very moved when he heard this.

Such is the simplicity of the rural people.

Even if my family is not rich, I still want to buy some good things for my young people to practice.
This kind of feeling cannot be replaced by anything!

Han Chunming spent most of the afternoon soaking in the Xiaoqing River.

The final result was naturally that the seal was not found.
Instead, I caught a few grass carps that were not small by accident.

Now supplies are scarce.

A few fish are enough for everyone to make a soup and eat.

Han Chunming stayed in the river for the entire afternoon.

Until someone came to call him back,
He resigned himself to his fate and went ashore to put on his shoes and socks.

Obviously, it is impossible to find the prints by blindly feeling for them in the river.

Therefore, Han Chunming made up his mind.
I’ll go look for Cai Xiaoli later when we have dinner.

Ask her where exactly she got the other piece of the jade seal fragment.

In the small villages of 75, there was almost no seasoning other than salt. (End of this chapter)
