Lin Yu's life of traveling through time

Chapter 121: The Old Times (3)

Things didn't come to fruition until 1974, by which time Lin Yu had already figured out how to expand the scale of cultivation and increase the variety of crops. Needless to say, the hardships involved were immense.

That year, Lin Yu was appointed as a leading cadre with the unanimous consent of the village. He was in charge of more things.

After receiving the notice of permission to set up a factory, Lin Yu was so happy that he didn't sleep all night. The next day, he hurriedly took out all the previous arrangements and implemented them.

"Lin Yu, come to the brigade headquarters. Someone is calling from Beijing City."

"Hey, here I come, I guess it's Brother Zheng calling?"

Lin Yu brushed the dust off his pants and trotted all the way to the brigade headquarters.

"Hello? Brother. What did you say?"

"I said, that patent application you mentioned is getting some progress."

"Brother, can you tell me in detail, did they agree?"

"I didn't pay much attention to this matter. But as you said, there was a lot of wrangling. One party felt it was unnecessary, while the other party, thinking in the long run, believed that a patent application should be made. But you know that our country didn't have patent policies and regulations at that time, so I never wrote to you. However, because this issue received attention after being reported, a bill has been drafted in the past two years. Once the bill is passed, you can start applying for a patent."

"This is also good news, thank you, brother."

"Hey, this was also promoted by Master and several masters of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Thanks to you, someone in our government has also proposed intellectual property rights. In the future, other fields will also be protected and regulated."

"Okay, okay, Brother, when will this bill be passed?"

"By the end of this year, but the implementation will have to wait until next year. We'll have resolved the patent issue by then, so don't worry."

"Okay, but Brother, we are still short of Traditional Chinese Medicine talents. The country has made progress and introduced Western medicine, but Traditional Chinese Medicine cannot be interrupted. It takes longer and more complicated to train a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner than a Western medicine practitioner. So, tell Master and we can think of a solution."

"Haha... you kid, you only raise questions without offering solutions, which makes Master and the others worry about it! Okay, this problem does need to be solved, I will mention it."

Lin Yu hung up the phone, hoping that traditional Chinese medicine could develop better in this country this time.

Sure enough, in 1975, the leadership emphasized the Four Modernizations and began to adjust and correct the mistakes of the Great Movement. People who had been sent down to the cowshed were rehabilitated and returned to the city one after another.

Lin Yu took advantage of the favorable conditions to develop the economy of his own village, and the ecological fertilizer factory established by the educated youth also developed rapidly.

1976 was a turbulent year. Lin Yu knew what happened in that world at that time. He could not change a person's life or death, but he remembered the occurrence of the great earthquake.

That was the first time that Lin Yu used supernatural means in this world, and the damage to his soul made it a bit difficult for him.

It took a lot of effort to get a letter to the top leader, informing him of the time and place.

The leader was somewhat suspicious about the letter that appeared out of nowhere, but he still sent someone to investigate the abnormal situation described in the letter.

After receiving the reply, the scientific researchers made a detailed inference and ordered the people to evacuate without hesitation.

But sometimes some people cannot escape some disasters. Even with the government's participation in evacuating the people, there are always some people who do not listen to advice, pretend to obey but actually disobey, secretly run back or refuse to leave.

At three o'clock in the morning on July 28th, after a sleepless night, the earth began to tear and shake, and the movement was also felt in the surrounding areas of Beijing.

Those who were stubborn couldn't escape in the end. When everything was over, the result was still heartbreaking. Although most people survived, the economic losses in housing were huge.

Lin Yu was relieved and put aside all these things to focus on his career. Because the patent for the Chinese medicine formula had been approved, he now not only wanted to grow medicinal herbs but also to train some Chinese medicine talents.

Given the team's trust in Lin Yu, upon hearing that the country would likely restart the college entrance examination, the children and educated youth who had already started school began to seriously review their high school knowledge and opened a mutual aid study class. Every day after work, they would take the initiative to come and study.

In recent years, no educated youth chose to get married to escape labor. However, there were a few who really fell in love and got married, and they actually chose to settle down in Dalin Village, Hongxing Commune.

Lin Yu did not comment on this. As long as the man did not abandon his wife and children, or abandon his husband and children when returning to the city, he would not object. Even if there were really unscrupulous people, their Dalin Village could afford to support them.

So in the winter of 1977, news came that the college entrance examination had been resumed, and everyone who could take the exam signed up.

Hard work pays off. All the educated youth from Dalin Village were admitted to universities, and young people in the village also received their admission letters. Of the eight rural candidates who took the exam, five were admitted to universities, and three to vocational schools. This made Dalin Village a renowned cultural village. The marriage market also saw a significant improvement. It also made the surrounding people realize the importance of education, finally eliminating the need for leaders to constantly persuasion for their children to send their children to school.

Lin Yu was already 25 years old at this time, and it became normal for his father and mother to urge him to get married.

"Xiao Yu, are you still going to college? There are so many things going on in the village that cannot be done without you. What should we do? And you are already 25, when are you going to get married?"

"Yeah, I think your nickname needs to change..."

When Lin Yu heard his father mention the nickname, he held his forehead with his hands. His father must be addicted to coaxing him. It turns out that this method of provoking is so effective!

"Dad, that's enough. Your son is in this state now. How dare anyone in the village give him a nickname? I'm afraid it wasn't Dad who said it himself. I'm only 25. Why are you so anxious?"

"Tsk, you're busy every day, and your mother and I are lonely. If we had a granddaughter or grandson, we wouldn't have to look at other people's children with envy."

Lin Yu twitched his lips. No wonder the old couple not only forced the child into his arms but also pitifully acted out a sad story for him. He was convinced.

"I didn't say I wouldn't get married. I've been busy all the time. This time, I'm leaving the village affairs to the team leader and the others. With Technician Zhou helping me, it won't be a problem for me to go to school for two years. Maybe when I come back, I'll find you a wife."

Mother Lin glanced at Lin Yu and said, "I'm warning you, many of them went to school married. Don't tell me that arranged marriages are unhappy and you're getting involved with a married woman! I think Mo Zhiqing is a good person. I don't know why you haven't had any further news."

"Oh, mom! What do you think of your son? Besides, as for Mo Zhiqing, he has to go back and explain everything to his parents. I'm waiting for you!" Lin Yu said the rest in a low voice.

"What did you say? I thought I heard you were going to tell her parents?"

Lin Yu scratched his head. He had originally wanted to wait until it was confirmed before telling them. Over the years, the two of them had come to understand each other very well and had a fondness for each other. It was the kind of revolutionary friendship, a rare kind of like-mindedness. Lin Yu also knew that in this era, it was unrealistic for an only son not to get married. So the two of them got along tacitly. This time, they both got into university, and they were in the same place and major. Wasn't that fate? Mo Yuwei had also agreed to tell her family in person that they would get married.

Lin Yu told his parents about the situation. His father slapped him on the back and said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? You're waiting until you get married to tell me. How rude!"

In fact, Lin Yu had already made the arrangements, but he just didn't say it. This was Lin Yu's fault.

When it was time to report, Lin Yu and Mo Yuwei took a bus to Jing City together. It happened that Mo Yuwei's home was also in Jing City, but it was in a remote suburb. After reporting, Mo Yuwei went home to meet her parents and told them about her relationship.

Mo Yuwei also comes from an ordinary family with quite a few people. She is the third child and has two younger siblings. Her older siblings took over their parents' jobs and did not go to the countryside. Her younger siblings are young, so they don't need to go to the countryside when they grow up.

Her parents and brothers were all kind and honest people with no ill intentions. When they knew Mo Yuwei's partner, they had no objection and simply said that they would meet and see the person, and if they were suitable, they would agree to get married.

So Lin Yu and his friends went to school for a few days. During the break, Lin's father and mother also arrived. A group of people came to the house with gifts. The two families got along quite harmoniously and peacefully, so the Mo family's parents nodded in agreement.

The next day, they went to get their marriage certificate, and skipped the other procedures. After that, they started their college life.
