"But Qingqing, I heard your family's pig farm is hiring and needs people to help out! Can I go then?"

“Okay! I’ll go ask Chen Yifei.”

He Runqing knew about the plight of these educated youths here, because she herself had experienced it.

Without a home or anyone to support them, they are struggling to make ends meet. How much money can they earn by working as a public servant?

Everyone was thinking about earning more money; otherwise, so many educated youth wouldn't have followed Wang Jianshe to pick mushrooms.

At this time, the other girls from the educated youth settlement also came over:

"Runqing, we can do it too! Everyone wants to earn some money in addition to earning work points."

"Exactly! We should buy some decent clothes so that we won't be looked down upon when we return to the city. We'll do extra work, and I heard that Chen Yifei is very generous with the pay."

"Runqing, you're our only remaining connection!"

I know that everyone has a hard time. Many of the girls who come to the countryside are the least loved ones in their families, the ones who have been abandoned by their families, and most of them come from families with poor living conditions.

Or, like He Runqing, whose family circumstances were special, they had no choice but to be sent to the countryside for labor education.

As He Runqing returned home with his sickle after work, he thought about talking to Chen Yifei about it, and also about what Xiaomei had said... taking the initiative.

Chen Yifei arrived home before he knew it.

She looked at Chen Xue sitting in the room: "Second sister, where is Chen Yifei?"

"Oh~ that's so sweet. I'll look for some when I get home." Chen Xue covered her mouth and laughed. "She went to the mountains to look for mushrooms. She's with those boys, I wonder what they're up to. Go check it out along the mountain path."

"Okay, then I'll ride my bicycle to pick him up!"

He Runqing rubbed her little hands together and skipped and hopped outside. She looked like a little ball of fluff as she ran, and Chen Xue was completely charmed by her cuteness.

I nimbly hopped on my bicycle and rode along the village road, humming a tune as I went.

You ask me how deep my love for you is?

How much do I love you?

"..."

These are songs I listened to at home before. Since coming here, I've been watching a lot of model operas, so I rarely hear songs like these.

He Runqing parked his bicycle by the side of the road and intended to walk up the mountain, but he saw Chen Yifei halfway up the mountain.

She was very excited.

He was riding his bicycle when he shouted at him, "Chen Yifei!"

When Chen Yifei looked at her, he was somewhat surprised: "Why is my wife here?"

He Runqing was still imitating the way boys touch their hair, trying to look cool but it was a bit stiff.

Chen Yifei quickly ran down, without even glancing at his brothers.

He Runqing used his long legs to support the bicycle and looked at Chen Yifei, saying, "I've come to pick you up and take you home."

He smiled and said, "Then I am truly happy."

He did sit in the back seat, always worried that his wife wouldn't be able to handle him.

But looking at my wife's bright smile, I guess she's playing the boyfriend today.

Okay, then let's just go along with her.

He Runqing turned his head, thinking he had a very handsome profile: "Comrade Chen Yifei, isn't it embarrassing for a guy to sit in the back seat of me?"

Yes. I'll sit in the front.

So Chen Yifei ran up to the horizontal bar and sat down, letting his wife hug him like that.

Then he kissed He Runqing's little mouth.

"So...it's not embarrassing anymore?"

“You…” He Runqing panicked and cleared his throat: “You’re so glib.”

Zhao Ershuan and his group, standing halfway up the mountain: "..."

Damn it, is being single a crime?

There was no way to ride a bicycle like that, so Chen Yifei obediently sat on the back seat.

He Runqing prepares to ride his bicycle.

"Those sitting in the back, hold on tight! Hold on to me."

"Where should I hug you?" Chen Yifei asked.

Hold me...the thinnest part of my body.

Chen Yifei pinched her neck and laughed, "Isn't it a bit too outrageous to sit in the car with your wife by the neck?"

Seeing He Runqing's glare at him, and even roll his eyes at him, he snorted and turned his head away.

He laughed and said, "Wrong, wife. Of all your body parts, your waist is definitely the thinnest."

It is both fine and soft.

He Runqing then took him home on her bicycle.

She originally thought she was showing off her full abilities.

She never expected that Chen Yifei's actions were anything but honest, and she was always worried that someone might be on the road, so she was always on edge.

So when I got home, I was really tired.

They dropped the person off and then completely ignored them.

Chen Yifei took the initiative to step forward, walked a few steps further, and took her hand: "Wife."

He Runqing forgave him and they reluctantly held hands.

Chen Xue cooked today, and the whole family ate together happily before the young couple went inside.

After they entered the house, He Runqing said, "I have something to tell you."

“Speak up, there’s no need for husband and wife to beat around the bush,” Chen Yifei said bluntly.

“It’s not easy for the educated youth settlements now. Wang Mei and the others are having a hard time, so they were thinking about whether they could come and work at your pig farm.”

"To earn more money."

He Runqing scratched his head; asking for help like this was really difficult.

"Well, it depends on you. If it's inconvenient for you, then forget it... If you help me, then I'll grant you one request."

She mustered up her courage to ask Chen Yifei for help because everyone among the educated youth had a tough time. Of course, she only agreed to help those she was close to; she completely ignored those who had bullied her before.

Seeing her nervous expression, Chen Yifei patted her on the shoulder: "Comrade He Runqing, what's so difficult about this? It's just that we can't go to the breeding farm."

"Huh? Why?" She looked confused.
