The tractor quickly arrived at Qingshan Brigade. Xu Yan got off the tractor right at the entrance of the educated youth settlement and did not go to Xie Zhuo's house.

Today's educated youth settlement is different from usual.

On weekdays, the educated youth would finish their work around 6 or 7 pm. After washing up, cooking, and eating, it would be around 8 or 9 pm. Then they would sit in the courtyard to cool off, chat for a while, and then it was time for them to go to sleep.

Because they didn't go to the fields this afternoon, the educated youth ate early, and right now a group of them are sitting in the courtyard playing cards.

It was noisy and disruptive.

However, when Xu Yan entered the room carrying the cloth and shoes, they all stopped and looked at her.

Xu Yan ignored them and walked straight towards the dormitory.

Apart from Ye Wei, no one else in the dormitory had gone anywhere.

When Ye Wei heard someone push the door open, she subconsciously hid what she was holding behind her back. When she saw that it was Xu Yan who came in, she brought her hand from behind her back to the front.

Xu Yan was in a pretty good mood and didn't really want to talk to her.

Who knew that Ye Wei would come over on her own initiative, then put a stack of ten-yuan notes on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) where she was sleeping, and then turned around and left the dormitory.

Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, took the money, and counted it; it was exactly five hundred yuan.

The next day, Xu Yan got up very early as usual.

There are few entertainment activities in the countryside, so people don't stay up late at night. In addition, her biological clock has become a habit over the years, so she usually can't sleep for too long in the morning.

After washing up, Xu Yan took a walk around the woods and listened to the birds chirping for a while before returning to the educated youth settlement.

No one at the educated youth settlement was awake yet.

Xu Yan returned to his dormitory, took the money Ye Wei had given him out of his pillowcase and put it in his pocket before leaving again.

She said yesterday that she would go to the city with Ye Wei, just to force Ye Wei to pay back the money. Now that she has the money, she really has no intention of taking Ye Wei to the city.

The main reason was that when she was going to sleep last night, she suddenly remembered an important plot point from a book she had read before.

The male protagonist, Han Xiaoyu, was very lucky to find a hundred-year-old wild ginseng in the mountains. After digging it up, he secretly sold it on the black market for a lot of money.

Xu Yan roughly calculated the days and found that it would be another year before Han Xiaoyu discovered the ginseng.

hiss--

Xu Yan clicked his tongue again.

If she goes over and digs up this wild ginseng now, wouldn't the ginseng be hers?

She just happened to be looking for ways to make money lately.

It's true what they say, when you're feeling sleepy, someone just hands you a pillow.

They decided to act immediately. Anyway, the brigade leader said yesterday that he wouldn't force the educated youth to go to work, which saved her the trouble of asking for leave and making up excuses.

Just as Xu Yan had slung his basket over his shoulder and headed up the mountain behind the woods, not long after, another person from the educated youth settlement came out early in the morning.

Han Xiaoyu had a gloomy face and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was a little unhappy because he had been suddenly woken up. But when he passed by the yard on his way to the toilet and saw the girl standing at the gate, his expression improved a little.

"Why are you here so early?" Han Xiaoyu asked, somewhat surprised.

“I made egg pancakes, and I brought some over for you while they were still hot,” Sun Jiarou said with a smile.

She glanced down and noticed that Han Xiaoyu's clothes weren't neatly pulled up, so she reached out and tugged at them for him.

Wu Shi was also awakened by the urge to urinate.

I came out to use the restroom with my eyes half-closed, and as soon as I got to the yard, I saw two people pulling and tugging at the door. I thought I was seeing things.

"Brother Han?" Wu Shi called out.

Han Xiaoyu turned to look at him, and Sun Jiarou also subconsciously turned around.

“Sun… Jiarou? It really is you,” Wu Shi rubbed his head, then glanced at Han Xiaoyu, as if he suddenly understood something, and said as he walked back, “I’m going to the restroom, you guys continue.”

After saying that, he didn't go to the toilet but ran back to the dormitory.

Since Sun Jiarou had a dream the night before last, in which she dreamt about some things from her previous life, she first went to Xie Zhuo's house to find Xie Zhuo, and then went to the riverbank in a daze. Unexpectedly, she met Han Xiaoyu, who was also in a daze, there.

The two looked at each other, crying and laughing for a long time.

Han Xiaoyu truly never expected that something like being reborn would happen to him.

The mood that had been affected by Xu Yan and Xie Zhuo recovered somewhat after thinking about the fate of these two people in the previous life.

He and Sun Jiarou sat by the river for a whole day. After processing their rebirth, they naturally got together.

Sun Jiarou told her parents about her marriage to Han Xiaoyu last night when she got home.

In their previous life, they liked each other but tested each other before getting married the following year. In this life, they have already expressed their feelings for each other, and she really doesn't want to wait that long.

Most importantly, there was a female educated youth named Ye Wei at the settlement who had a crush on Han Xiaoyu.

In her previous life, Sun Jiarou didn't know her identity, so she wasn't on guard. In this life, however, she has no choice but to be cautious.

After all, no matter how outstanding she becomes in the future, she is currently just a girl from the countryside, and her family background is vastly different from that of Ye Wei from the city.

In the words of Han Xiaoyu's family, her marriage to Han Xiaoyu was a step up for her.

In order to be worthy of Han Xiaoyu, she studied the lifestyle of city dwellers for a long time.

But when Han Xiaoyu's mother learned that there was someone like Ye Wei who liked her son, she would mention Ye Wei to her from time to time and even got very close to Ye Wei.

If she hadn't known that Han Xiaoyu was truly devoted to her and his career, she would have been angry.

And then there's Xu Yan.

She's usually like a mute, never uttering a sound even when bullied, but it turns out she was already engaged to Han Xiaoyu.
