Xiang Changlin was thinking about asking for money for Ye Qing, so he washed his face early the next morning and went straight to the educated youth site.

Gu Wenqing didn't sleep much that night. He tossed and turned, his mind full of Ye Baozhu's pregnancy and the bride price. At dawn, he went out with a pair of panda eyes. He scooped two scoops of water from the water tank and washed his face before he felt a little better.

"Gu Zhiqing."

"You looking for me?"

Gu Wenqing looked at Xiang Changlin standing at the door, somewhat confused. How anxious must he be to come to see him so early in the morning?

Xiang Changlin didn't waste any time and asked for the money directly. "My girlfriend said you owe her 70 cents and she hasn't paid you back yet. Didn't Gu Zhiqing say she would pay it back yesterday? I'll get it for her so you don't have to make another trip."

Gu Wenqing: ...Money, money, money. I’ve been having a lot of trouble with money these days. I’m so unlucky.

"for you!"

Without saying a word, he took out some money from his pocket, counted out seventy cents and put it into Xiang Changlin's hand.

He had to give it to her. If he was asked for it a few more times, he would be driven crazy.

Xiang Changlin glanced at the money in his hand, and seeing that the amount was correct, he turned around and left without paying any attention to him.

Gu Wenqing was so angry that he went to wash his face again.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Xiang Changlin came to pick up Ye Qing. Ye Qing put on clean clothes, combed his hair, and went home with him.

"Auntie!"

As soon as the two entered the door, Xiang Ru rushed towards Ye Qing like a little missile.

Ye Qing smiled and bent down to touch her little head, "Xiao Ru, do you still remember your aunt?"

Xiang Ru nodded expectantly with her big round eyes.

Ye Qing knew that the little girl was missing her candy, so she smiled and took out another piece of candy from her pocket. Then she peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed the candy into Xiang Ru's mouth. With a turn of her hand, she put the candy wrapper back into her pocket.

After eating the candy, the little girl jumped and danced happily and kept circling around Ye Qing. Seeing how happy she was, Ye Qing's lips curled up as well.

"Qingqing is here, come in quickly! Changlin, you too, why are you letting Qingqing stand in the yard!"

Lin Cuixin came out of the house and was so happy to see Ye Qing coming that she couldn't stop smiling. She grabbed her wrist and brought her into the house.

Today was Ye Qing's first visit, so the family members did not go out to work and were waiting at home. Ye Qing entered the house and greeted everyone one by one. Xiang Zhong, who was lying on the kang, saw his daughter-in-law coming and hurriedly sat up.

"Uncle, are you okay?"

Xiang Zhong smiled and nodded, "Much better, please sit down, Chang Lin quickly pour Qing Qing a bowl of water!"

Upon hearing this, Xiang Changlin turned around and went out to bring back a bowl of water for Ye Qing.

"Drink some water."

"good."

Ye Qing took the bowl and smiled at him.

Although they had lived together for many years in their previous life, this was the first time he visited her in this life. Ye Qing actually felt a little uncomfortable sitting there.

Lin Cuixin looked at Ye Qing with a smile, and then said, "Qingqing, when are you going to go to that job in the county?"

"We have to go the day after tomorrow, which happens to be Monday."

Lin Cuixin nodded, "It will be soon, in the blink of an eye. You won't be able to come back often when you go to the county town, so ask Changlin to visit you more often."

"It's definitely not easy to come back all the time at the beginning, but once my job is stable, I will try to come back more often."

"Okay! But work is still important. Do your best. I believe in your ability! Changlin went to the mountain to catch a rabbit this morning. I will stew it for you at noon!"

"No need, Auntie. Just make something casual. Leave it to my uncle to replenish his body."

These days, every household can't get enough food, let alone meat. Only during the Chinese New Year can some families eat meat dumplings. The Xiang family is in such a difficult situation now, Ye Qing really doesn't want to eat their meat.

"It's okay. I'll let Changlin go to the mountains to hunt later. This is your first time at home, so come and try Auntie's cooking."

Lin Cuixin was more and more satisfied with her daughter-in-law being so sensible and filial, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Xiang Zhongye chuckled, "That's just how much I eat. You young people should take the supplements written on the prescription."

"Eat meat!"

Xiang Ru, who was playing with a cloth tiger nearby, heard that there was meat to eat, and she threw herself into Lin Cuixin's arms and shouted.

Lin Cuixin lovingly touched her excited little face, "Okay, grandma will cook meat for you! Wait, I'll go make it right away. Qingqing, you sit in the room first."

It’s past ten o’clock now, and it will be almost time for dinner by the time the meal is ready.

"Auntie, let me help you."

Ye Qing was about to stand up, but Lin Cuixin pushed her back down, "Just sit here. There's not much work to do. Your sister-in-law and I will do it."

Li Gui'e also said, "Yes, sister, you should rest in the room, you will be well soon."

Since they all said so, Ye Qing didn't have to go to help. After all, it was her first time visiting, so just showing her appreciation would be enough. There was no need to really help. Xiang's family knew what was going on and would not let her do anything.

"Dad, eat dates!"

Xiang Ru pointed at the jujubes on the table and shouted that she wanted to eat some. Xiang Qianjin grabbed a handful for her. The little girl narrowed her eyes when she got the delicious food.

"Sister Qingqing, can you tell me what it's like to be the director of the County Party Committee Guesthouse? What do you do in that job?"

Xiang Chunling originally had no feelings for Ye Qing, as she was just her second sister-in-law who had not yet married into the family. But since she knew that Ye Qing had found a job in the county town, Ye Qing became her idol.

Although they were all girls from the same brigade and had never been to school, Ye Qing was able to find a job in the county town. This made her dream that she would have such good luck in the future and have a job without having to work in the fields.

Ye Qing looked at the undisguised admiration in her serious eyes, curled the corners of his lips, and said, "There is a counter right after entering the guesthouse. Every day, someone sits inside to help guests check in. Their houses are all two-story, and the rooms are small."

Hearing this, Xiang Chunling exclaimed in envy, "So do you also live in a building when you go to work?"

Ye Qing shook his head. "I really don't know, but the dormitory will definitely not be together with the guest room."

Xiang Chunling smiled and said, "That means I live in the city. That's great. I wish I could go to work in the city."

"That's hard to say. I never thought I could work in a county town before."

Hearing her say this, Xiang Chunling suddenly felt that she was able to do well again and that she would definitely find a job in the county in the future!

"That..."

“Hmm~Hmm~”

"Xiao Ru! Xiao Ru, what's wrong with you?!"

Before Xiang Chunling could finish her words, something happened to Xiang Ru next to her. Xiang Qianjin saw his daughter's face flushed red, and his heart was in his throat.

Xiang Changlin and Xiang Zhong were so frightened that their pupils shrank suddenly.
