"You can go see the village chief without any problem."

Lin Jingyu had to remind him, "It's best not to bring up the substitute teaching slots directly. Just because I can share this information with you doesn't mean the village chief likes it when you try to exchange it with him."

As long as your sincerity is something the village chief cannot refuse, he will naturally do his best to arrange for you to do easy work.

I hope you understand this and avoid making things worse by missing this opportunity. You'll only be able to do manual labor then, and it will be too late to regret it later.

That's true.

Yang Shujue nodded in agreement, "If people find out, the village chief will be in a difficult position, and if others make a fuss, it will be even harder for him to explain."

"Alright, that's all you need to know."

Lin Jingyu added, "If you want to please the village chief and make him unable to refuse, this 'gift' is not simple. You should think about it carefully."

"That makes sense."

Peng Qibo seemed thoughtful. "It seems we need to find out more about the village chief's family before we can make a decision."

"You girls have it so good. Looks like I'm destined to be a laborer."

Su Jingtian sighed with a bitter expression, "The village chief will definitely choose a female educated youth to be the substitute teacher, so I have no chance."

“Not necessarily.”

Yang Shujue retorted, "Aren't there physical education teachers? Usually, male teachers become physical education teachers. Let's see if you can win over the village chief and get you to be a physical education teacher."

"The PE teacher?"

Su Jingtian's eyes lit up instantly. "That's right, the school has physical education teachers, I can become a physical education teacher."

"Sure, as long as you have the ability to get the village chief on your side."

Lin Jingyu smiled and said, "You should try to finalize this in the next few days. If this news gets out beforehand, many people will definitely rush to grab a spot."

These words struck a chord with them.

They all nodded emphatically.

Lin Jingyu added, "By the way, we're going to the county town tomorrow. Everyone should get up early, take an oxcart to the town, and then take a bus to the county town."

"Okay, let's go to the county town for a stroll."

Yang Shujue immediately clapped and cheered.

Her face immediately fell again. "We have to ride in an oxcart...it's so slow and bumpy. We wish we had bicycles."

"bike?"

Lin Jingyu was intrigued by the suggestion.

Although it takes a long time to ride a bicycle to the county seat, it is very convenient to go to the town.

"Having a bicycle is really nice; you can buy one if you have money and a ticket."

Peng Qibo didn't miss the light in Lin Jingyu's eyes, and looked at her with a smile, "Do you have a bicycle ticket? Do you want me to get you one?"

"Will it be inconvenient?"

Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow.

She has money and all kinds of tickets.

However, tickets for valuable and somewhat luxurious items like bicycles and watches were not available.

Since this guy owed him a lot of favors, he didn't intend to be polite to him. He said, "If you can get one, please get one for me. If it's inconvenient, I can write to my brother and ask him to help me find a way."

A look of surprise flashed in Su Jingtian's eyes, and he asked in astonishment, "Lin Zhiqing, you have an older brother?"

"When did I ever say I didn't have a brother?"

Lin Jingyu glanced at him irritably. "I not only have an older brother, I also have a younger brother. What, do you have a problem with that?"

"Hehe, no objection, no objection."

Su Jingtian smiled and quickly waved his hand, "Just curious, nothing more."

“Jingyu, your brother is more suited to go to the countryside than you. How could your family bear to let you go to the countryside at such a young age?”

Yang Shujue started to fill in the blanks with her imagination, and a strange expression appeared on her face. "Could it be that your family favors boys over girls, keeping your older and younger brothers while leaving you, their daughter, to be sent to the countryside?"

Screw your sexism.

Lin Jingyu laughed and scolded, "You're the one who was thrown to the countryside. There's no such thing as favoring boys over girls in my family. On the contrary, I'm the most pampered one."

"real?"

Yang Shujue's expression was strange, and her voice was filled with doubt, "I can't believe it."

"Why wouldn't you believe me? Why would I lie to you when I'm perfectly fine?"

Lin Jingyu frankly explained why she went to the countryside.

The group all had an "Oh, I see" expression on their faces.

She couldn't help but smile and said, "That's just how my family is. I'm the only one who's suitable to go to the countryside, so I volunteered."

Besides, if my family didn't spoil me, how could I possibly have the money to build a house and live alone?

I'm telling you, you're not the only ones who don't have to worry about food and clothing; I'm also supported by my family.

"It seems your family is indeed very nice."

Su Jingtian agreed, but couldn't help asking, "Lin Zhiqing, what unit is your brother in? What's his position now?"

"His military region is in the Northeast."

Lin Jingyu shook her head slightly, her tone tinged with sadness: "I didn't ask what position my older brother holds, but he has been in the army for five years, so he should have a position. My older brother is quite capable."

"After five years in the army, I can be considered a veteran."

Peng Qibo looked at her with extremely gentle eyes and said softly, "If he has made meritorious contributions, he will at least be a platoon leader. If you want to know, you should be able to write a letter to ask him without any problem."

There's no need to specifically ask about these things.

Lin Jingyu felt uncomfortable under his gaze and looked away from him. "No matter what position he holds, he's still my older brother. As long as he's a good person, that's all that matters."

Peng Qibo's lips curled up slightly, a faint smile playing on his lips, and he asked again, "What's your older brother's name?"

"Lin Ruifeng".
