This jewelry box looks like it was organized with great care by its owner.

I just don't know how it ended up in the recycling center.

And the people at the scrap yard didn't even know?

Su Qiao felt like she had gotten a great deal this time.

Naturally, I felt wonderful.

Carefully put the item back into the storage space; it's not suitable for this item to be outside right now.

Su Yu next door isn't as beautiful.

She was still pondering where things had gone wrong; this was the first time the scene was different from her dream.

How could something that was perfectly fine just disappear?

I'm so worried.

But the bed was exactly the same as the picture in my dream, and the items were correct.

Could it be hidden somewhere else?

Perhaps she wasn't careful enough?

She didn't seem to see the lid that was lifted...

She thought about it all night without sleeping.

Naturally, I was late the next morning.

It just so happens that people from the commune are coming to Qingshui Brigade to inspect our work tomorrow.

Today, the team leader made a point of visiting every area.

If the outcome is good this time, he might bring up the road repair issue again.

The road into the city is really inconvenient.

The road was covered with tire tracks, making it almost impossible to walk on rainy days.

The autumn harvest is just around the corner, and then the delivery of grain to the government will be delayed again...

However, the neighboring brigade is also applying for road repairs.

The commune hasn't decided yet which brigade to repair first this year.

Another aspect of their inspection was the construction of the primary school.

September is almost here.

If the school can be built as soon as possible.

We can take advantage of this year to send all the children to school.

The captain was worried when he thought about these things.

Lu Fugui smoked his pipe as he inspected the fields.

Unexpectedly, they saw a young woman alone in a certain field.

He immediately asked, "Where are the people in that field? Why is one missing?"

There were two people standing neatly together all around, but there was only one person on that particular spot, making him stand out conspicuously.

The squad leader immediately reported, "It's the new educated youth, Su. She hasn't come today yet."

The captain walked away with a gloomy face, preparing to hold a large meeting that evening specifically to criticize those who were lazy and unwilling to work.

Su Yu arrived in a hurry at that moment.

Apologize immediately.

But the captain didn't care. He thought that since this person was Su Qiao's cousin, she should be able to learn some of Su Qiao's cleverness and diligence.

He had heard Lu Xiang talk about their relationship before.

Su Yu looks simple and honest, but she has such a wicked heart.

Lu Fugui couldn't even be bothered to look at someone of such poor character.

Su Yu took the captain's displeasure as a way of avoiding suspicion.

After all, the captain was quite enthusiastic when he first heard that she was Su Qiao's cousin.

Su Yu then returned to the field as if nothing had happened.

Lu Fugui gets annoyed whenever he sees someone like that.

“Su Yu is late, deduct work points, don’t forget.” He turned and said to the scorekeeper.

Su Yu was dumbfounded.

She was only a little late, why should her work points be deducted?

She wanted to argue, but the captain had already left.

A large meeting will be held tonight.

Su Yu, the newly arrived educated youth, received her first criticism.

People's impression of Su Yu worsened.

This person is completely useless.

After criticizing Su Yu, the brigade leader talked about tomorrow's commune inspection, making sure that everyone in every household who could work did so.

We must do our best to showcase the spirit of the Qingshui Brigade.

Some people in the crowd whispered among themselves, "Here they come again."

But there was nothing they could do.

If things go wrong tomorrow, I'll probably be criticized too.

the next day.

The fields of Qingshui Brigade were unusually lively.

Everyone is working enthusiastically.

Only a few people were slacking off, planning to put on a show only when the brigade leader brought his men over.

Su Qiao was watering the plants at a leisurely pace.

Because she had to wait until the examiners arrived; going too fast would disrupt the examination.

Finally, around 9 o'clock, the captain arrived with a team of people.

Those must be people from the commune.

Su Qiao didn't pay attention and remained focused on her work.

Until a shadow fell in front of me.

Su Qiao looked up and saw a familiar face.

It's the same person from last time.

Su Qiao noticed that the brigade leader's face also seemed a little off.

"Hello, comrade."

"Hello."

"Don't be nervous, I just want to ask you some small questions."

As expected, Lu Haoyun did not make things difficult for Su Qiao.

The questions were all very simple, and Su Qiao answered them fluently.

Later, Lu Haoyun changed the subject, "By the way, speaking of which, I had the chance to meet Comrade Su last time, but why didn't I see the man next to you this time?"

"He's away on a business trip and isn't in the commune right now."

What is your relationship with him?

The commune officials standing nearby were dumbfounded.

Why are you suddenly asking about this? It doesn't seem to be related to this examination.

Su Qiao smiled and replied, "This is my private matter, and I don't want to answer it."

The brigade leader chimed in, "The sun is so strong right now, how about I take you to see the primary school first?"

Lu Haoyun didn't make things too difficult for him and left with his men following the captain.

The older woman next to her then came over and winked at him.

"Su, you're amazing. I just saw these leaders' legs shaking, and you were still able to talk. No wonder you're an educated youth from the big city."

Su Qiao smiled shyly.

"I'm still scared, so please don't make fun of me."

The woman left satisfied.

Su Qiao's face turned cold as she walked to the corner and watered the plants.

His consciousness sank into the space, where he wrote a letter and handed it to Xiaobai.

Give it to Lu Xiangze.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Lu Haoyun walked along, unusually absent-minded.

That little girl seemed pretty fierce.

She and that young man seemed to be a couple.

"Commander?"

The guard whispered a reminder.

Lu Haoyun immediately returned to his usual demeanor.

They began to carefully observe the primary school environment.

The house is almost finished.

The one-story brick house is now only missing its windows.

The captain spoke eloquently.

"Have you found a teacher yet?"

The brigade leader looked at the commune officer.

The commune official replied, "We plan to organize an exam. Anyone with a clean resume, whether they are an educated youth or a brigade member, can participate. We will select the best scorer in the end."

Lu Haoyun nodded.

"Then I'll come and take a look."

After this was said, the commune officials were somewhat surprised.

The big leader has some rather unusual hobbies. He just inspected the area without the commune secretary and commune head accompanying him, and now he wants to personally come and see a primary school teacher recruitment in a brigade?

Even the guards looked surprised.

The leader never took a vacation before; he was a workaholic.

He was always involved in dangerous missions; if it weren't for good luck, he would have been dead long ago.

He never bothers with such trivial matters.

Why the change of heart today?

But that's not something he should worry about.

The people present had different thoughts.

The captain was sweating profusely and extremely nervous.

Why would this high-ranking leader want to come and see him out of the blue? Does he suspect there's something wrong with him?

In an instant, the captain's mind was filled with many thoughts.

After the visit, the team leader didn't find an opportunity to bring up the issue of road repair.

It can only be put on hold for now.

After all, he hadn't expected that the inspector would be a high-ranking official he didn't recognize.

On the way back.

The guard glanced at the leader, who was resting with his eyes closed, from time to time, but hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong?"

The guards were already used to Lu Haoyun's sensitivity.

Why did the commander go to such lengths to build a primary school in Qingshui Brigade?

Lu Haoyun opened his eyes, his sharpness undiminished.

The guard dared not look any longer.

I thought Lu Haoyun wouldn't bring it up again.

After a long while, he finally let out a sigh.

"This is a debt I owe, and I should repay it..."

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, the guard didn't dare to talk to him and could only drive obediently.

It was lunchtime soon, and the streets were unusually lively.

Since it involves a large workforce, it's bound to be quite a large operation.

Su Qiao returned home without stopping.

When it was time to eat, Xiaobai picked up its "takeout" as usual, but it found that the food seemed to be laid out in advance for each meal.

It's obvious at a glance that they were made in the same batch.

Xiao Bai told Su Qiao what she had discovered, and Su Qiao felt inexplicably uneasy.

Could something have happened to Lu Xiangze?
