Lu Xiang exclaimed that it was a great idea.

A day later, another version of the story began to circulate in the village.

If we educate our children, they might be able to understand the job postings when there are openings in the city.

Maybe we'll snag a bargain.

Although most of those factories have inside information when they recruit workers.

It was basically all planned out.

But those factories also post notices, only the timing and method are carefully chosen.

If someone is completely illiterate, even if such a pie falls right in front of them, they won't know to pick it up.

Besides, the school would also be closed when the brigade had a good harvest.

If you think about it this way, it doesn't seem like having a primary school isn't so bad.

Those families in the village who sent their children to study outside the village now dared to show their faces.

How convenient it would be to have a primary school in your own village!

Suddenly, everyone became exceptionally enthusiastic about building the school.

The educated youth settlement was filled with joy.

Once a school is built, it will always need teachers.

Aren't they the best candidates? They are the most educated people in the village.

The school is not yet built.

The mental outlook of the educated youth has improved considerably.

They've all been working much harder.

The number of teachers at the school is limited, so they have to try their best to secure one.

For a time, the educated youth settlement became exceptionally harmonious.

They always maintain a friendly demeanor, afraid of being caught doing something wrong that might affect their ability to be teachers.

Moreover, all the educated youth were, in a sense, competitors.

Naturally, we must be on guard at all times.

Especially Song Jinzhao and Li Yanhong.

Both of them were the most senior educated youth sent to the countryside.

This is a rare opportunity, so naturally I want to seize it...

The decision to build the school was finally made.

Construction will begin after the rainy season ends...

Su Qiao naturally wanted to be a teacher as well.

Being a school teacher not only earns work points, but also a monthly salary. Although it's not as good as being a worker in the city, it's much easier than earning work points in the fields.

Su Qiao thought that since she didn't live with the other educated youth, the "fire" wouldn't reach her.

Unexpectedly, the courtyard was knocked on that evening.

It's Song Jinzhao's voice.

"Su Zhiqing, Su Zhiqing!"

"Is there anything I can help you with, Song Zhiqing?"

Su Qiao stood in the courtyard, not opening the door.

She's home alone now, so it's best to be cautious.

"Yao, the educated youth, has gone missing. I wanted to ask if she was at your house?"

"Not here."

Song Jinzhao hurriedly responded and turned back.

Su Qiao didn't go out herself, but Xiao Bai, who was sitting next to her, suddenly brightened up when she heard this.

Since it was interested, Su Qiao simply sent it out to gather information.

After the space was upgraded, Xiaobai recovered well and no longer needed to replenish its energy.

It just loves to run outside.

It knows everything that happens in the village, big or small.

It has fully maxed out the Bagua attributes.

Today, it unusually didn't go out for a stroll, but unexpectedly, something happened at the educated youth settlement next door.

Little White darted off the wall in a few quick movements.

It even changed its fur color to better camouflage itself.

Song Jinzhao has returned to the educated youth settlement.

Pei Xingzhi stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Song Jinzhao shook his head.

"Not at Su Zhiqing's house."

Pei Xingzhi frowned, a wave of annoyance rising in his heart: "It's so late now, where could she have gone?"

Li Yanhong looked worried.

However, this concern did not reach their immediate eyes.

Her younger sister is really too carefree.

He always tries to step on her.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have let her cook alone today."

Song Jinchao disagreed, saying, "This is not your fault. It was her turn to cook today, and you weren't feeling well, so there's no reason for you to help her."

Li Yanhong nodded.

"I know, I'm just a little worried about her."

There was a hint of self-reproach in her voice.

Wang Zhihua hid in the corner and smiled contemptuously.

"Let's go look for it; it's too dangerous tonight."

Pei Xingzhi thought for a moment, then spoke.

Wang Zhihua spat on the ground. "I'm not going."

Rong Shen hasn't returned yet, so naturally he can't express his thoughts.

In the end, only Song Jinzhao and Pei Xingzhi went out to look for people.

Xiao Bai wasn't in a hurry to leave.

He continued to eavesdrop from the wall.

Li Yanhong returned to her room, but Wang Zhihua turned and walked towards the kitchen.

He leisurely went to get the food that had been prepared in the kitchen.

He had a cornbread bun in his mouth.

He was holding another one in his hand.

He walked outside, and the moonlight was very bright tonight. He arrived at a dilapidated courtyard without any hindrance.

"who!"

A terrified voice came from the courtyard.

It was Yao Qing.

Wang Zhihua maliciously did not answer.

Yao Qing thought she had misheard, so she concentrated and listened carefully.

Apart from the chirping of insects, there were no other sounds.

It was extremely quiet.

Yao Qing was terrified by the atmosphere.

Books say that before a storm comes, all is quiet.

She regretted her decision today.

A cold wind kept blowing towards her back.

She tightened her clothes and began to sob.

Xiao Bai has already caught up.

Standing on the other side of the wall, secretly observing.jpg

But as soon as the angle changed, the moonlight reflected in its eyes, and Yao Qing was startled.

She screamed loudly.

Even though this is an abandoned house, if we make too much noise, we might still be discovered.

Wang Zhihua immediately panicked.

"Yao Qing, shut up right now! If you keep howling like that, I'll beat you up!"

Upon hearing his voice, Yao Qing immediately stood up and ran outside.

"There's a ghost!"

Wang Zhihua just thought this person was too noisy.

The steamed bun in his hand was stuffed into her mouth.

"If you shout again, I'll really let you see a ghost."

Yao Qing could only nod.

Still trembling, she pointed to the courtyard wall and said, "There's a pair of glowing eyes up there. It's terrifying! I can't stay here any longer, I want to go back. What a terrible idea you gave me!"

Wang Zhihua was unwilling to let her go back now.

It was quite a feat to lure this spoiled princess, who has no life of luxury, here.

The plan has completed one step; the next step is to completely ruin her reputation.

That would secure his spot.

"You can't go back yet. They're looking for you outside. If they go back and find out you've already run away, they'll be even angrier. Do you still want Pei Xingzhi to marry you soon?"

"I think."

"Don't worry, just wait a little longer. I'll go back and tell him to come look here. Then you can stall him, and I'll have the brigade catch you two. Once they're caught, your marriage is settled, right?"

Yao Qing was bewitched by the scene described by Wang Zhihua.

It's as if I really saw that scene.

He immediately became happy and obediently retreated to a small corner in the yard.

They completely forgot their fear.

I started to imagine life after marriage.
