Ning Jia was still hesitating when Yang Huilian caught up with him.

"Stop right there, you damn girl!"

"Are you coming up?" Qin Ming asked, "If you don't come up, I'll leave!"

In this day and age, men and women have to be extra careful about keeping a distance from each other. If you are not careful, it is easy for people to spread gossip about you. Moreover, the man in front of me is a young educated youth from the city.

These people are the focus of attention. If someone saw her riding this educated youth's bicycle back home, there would be a lot of gossip.

But if she didn't take the car, Yang Huilian would definitely catch up with her and the chicken would be lost.

So, between saving her reputation and saving her chicken, she quickly made a decision. She had to save her chicken. How much is her face worth?

"sit!"

Ning Jia jumped lightly and sat steadily on the back seat of the bicycle, just one step faster than Yang Huilian.

Yang Huilian ran out of breath, and just when she saw hope ahead, this damn girl got into someone else's car.

How can something with two legs outrun something with two wheels?

She could only watch helplessly as Ning Jia took away the things in the dozen woven bags!

"My enemy! What a fool! They say women are outgoing and once they get married their hearts follow the men. It's absolutely true."

Every time she came back, she would take some things from home, and she never left empty-handed.

Yang Huilian ran until she was out of breath and exhausted. After she caught her breath, she turned around and headed back to the village. When she returned to the dyeing workshop, it was almost time to get off work.

Seeing her like this, the neighbor knew that the things were not recovered: "Did you run away?"

Yang Huilian nodded: "That's right?"

"What's lost?"

"I don't know! No, I have to go back and take a look!"

"Come on, you go on. It won't be too late for you to come back after lunch."

"OK."

When Yang Huilian returned home, she saw Lao Ningtou and Li Hong sitting in the yard eating fried dough sticks, one of them holding a salted egg in his hand.

The grandfather and grandson get along very harmoniously.

"Why are you back when it's not time to get off work yet?" Old Ning asked deliberately when he saw her coming back with a stern face.

"Has Ning Jia come back?"

"Yes, Mom! Ning Jia is back and brought us some fried dough sticks, which are especially delicious. Grandpa and I have eaten three each, and there are a few left for you, Dad, and Ning Peng. Since you are back, eat them quickly, they are so delicious."

Li Hong brought the fried dough sticks to Yang Huilian with her big belly. She took it and took a bite. It was so delicious that it was absolutely fragrant.

"This damn girl still knows how to eat." She praised the food and scolded her as a spendthrift, "What is your family's financial situation? She even fries dough sticks to eat! She doesn't know how to live!"

"Mom, Ning Jia gave you this as a gift, and you ate it without saying anything?" Li Hong smiled and spoke for Ning Jia, "To be honest, it's rare to find someone as filial as her. Look at me, I don't even go back to my parents' home after I got married."

Yang Huilian ate a fried dough stick and felt a little better. After listening to what Li Hong said, she sneered, "I don't know if she came to see me or my chickens. Oh, I have to check on my chickens. A few are missing."

Old Ning glanced at her and said, "Just a few chickens, the child can eat them. How many can she get by herself? As a mother, why do you always care about the child?"

Yang Huilian didn't say anything, but went straight to the backyard, opened the chicken coop and took a look. Her eyes went dark and she almost suffocated: "Oh my God! I didn't even have time to take yesterday's eggs, and the ones from yesterday were all taken away by this damn girl!"

"Ahhhhh! My chickens! Seven - seven big, fat, strong roosters! I couldn't even bear to eat them during New Year's!"

"This damn girl! Even when the Japanese invaders were raiding the city, they couldn't act as well as she did!"

The old man in the front yard heard it and shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about? Are those devils human? They are beasts. They will not leave a single blade of grass behind when they pass by! How can you compare our Jia Jia with those devils?"

Yang Huilian tried to calm down and returned to the front yard: "Okay, take it away! What else? What else did you take away?"

Li Hong carefully forced out a smile: "Mom, I saw that she had a hard time, so I gave her a piece of bacon."

"What?" Yang Huilian hurried into the kitchen to check. Sure enough, one of the several pieces of bacon hanging from the beams was missing. "Ah - what a traitor, what a traitor!"

She secretly swore that next time this girl came back, she would just beat her with a broom!

At this moment, Ning Jia was sitting in the back seat of Qin Ming's car and heading towards Laohuaishu Village.

After running for such a long time, her legs were sore.

Meeting Qin Ming is like a timely help.

"Hey, are you the educated youth from our village? Why haven't I seen you before?" Ning Jia felt that Qin Ming was embarrassed, so she asked casually.

"I was originally an educated youth from Qingshan Village. I heard that your village was going to open a private primary school, so I came here to try it out. I was accepted! I came here to Qingshan Village to make connections. From now on, I will teach in Laohuaishu Village."

"I see." Ning Jia nodded, "So I have to call you Teacher Qin from now on, right?"

"Sure! You can call me Teacher Qin or Qin Ming, whatever you want."

"Let's choose Teacher Qin. Teacher Qin seems more dignified." Ning Jia said.

"It depends on what you like."

Qin Ming pedaled the bike slowly, not much faster than walking. Ning Jia carried a stick with seven chickens tied to it on one shoulder, and a basket on his other arm, which was also heavy with things in it.

Now sitting in the back seat of the car, she felt like she was performing an acrobatic trick, having to maintain her balance while making sure things didn't fall off.

This feeling is really unbearable!

"Teacher Qin, can you ride faster?" Ning Jia asked.

"Okay! Let's get on it. I'm going to speed up!" Qin Ming said, and pushed his feet hard.

Bang!

Ning Jia's face fell directly onto Qin Ming's back, hitting his spine hard.

"Hiss——" Qin Ming let out a cry of pain.

Ning Jia sighed, feeling that this teacher Qin was not reliable at all: "How about you, let me get off. I'm too tired to sit in your car. It's faster for me to walk!"

How could Qin Ming be willing to let Ning Jia go down?

He said hurriedly, "Then I'll be more stable, you take the seat, and we'll be in the village in ten minutes."

"Then I'll leave it to you!"

Qin Ming rode the bike to the entrance of the village and let Ning Jia off: "Ning... Ning Jia, right? You should walk the rest of the way back to Dong, so as not to be seen and gossiped about by others."

Ning Jia nodded, thinking that this man knew how to avoid suspicion and was a sensible person.

"Thank you."

Qin Ming raised his lips and said, "No thanks, I may need your help in the future."

"Okay, I'll help you as long as I can."

Qin Ming rode his bike back home first. After getting the stamp in Qingshan Village, all the connections were transferred to Laohuaishu Village. He handed in his identity information to the production team and went directly to the village primary school.

He received a notice that school would start tomorrow and he had to clean up the school almost completely within a day.

Lin Xiaoxi was already busy over there, so he had to go over to take a look.

Qin Ming rode his bicycle to the elementary school, parked his bike, and went to the classroom to look for Lin Xiaoxi.

Lin Xiaoxi was wiping the tables and chairs when she heard a noise behind her. She turned around and saw that it was not Qin Ming. A smile immediately broke out on her face: "You're back? Have you changed your relationship?"
