At noon, Du Jiang was worried about Daya staying alone in the mountain, so he took her back to the pigsty and happened to meet Tianniu who was about to leave.

Tianniu looked at Du Jiang and then at Daya beside her legs, and slapped her thigh fiercely, "I was wondering if something was missing during the engagement this morning. It turns out Daya wasn't here. Du Jiang, why did you take the child away? You know, the Du family is going to prepare an engagement dinner soon."

Before Du Jiang could say anything, Daya stepped forward and said, "Sister Tianniu, it wasn't Sister Du Jiang who brought me here. I followed her. My grandma said I couldn't be at home today and I can only go back in the evening."

Tianniu looked at Daya, then at Du Jiang who was protected behind her. Considering what Daya said just now, what else was there that she didn't understand? "Your grandma is still so stingy. Okay, you just stay here with Du Jiang." After that, she left in a hurry without caring about the person who came. Looking at her, Du Jiang guessed that the engagement dinner held by Grandma Du must be good today, otherwise Tianniu wouldn't have been able to get hooked so quickly.

Looking back at Daya's envious look, Du Jiang stepped forward and rubbed her head, "Wait a minute, I'll add some water to the stone trough and take you back to the educated youth site for dinner." Du Jiang usually used that small milk pot for breakfast, but it was not appropriate with Daya here today. After all, that thing was rare. Although Daya didn't have much knowledge now, Du Jiang still didn't dare to gamble.

Daya nodded obediently, but she was not idle either. She went forward to help Du Jiang unload the backpack, dry the herbs, and feed the pigs. After everything was done, she locked the door and walked towards the educated youth site.

Qian Meili and everyone else were curious about Du Jiang suddenly bringing a child back. However, after learning that the child was from Old Lady Du, everyone's expressions became a little difficult to describe. The male educated youth were too embarrassed to say anything, but Qian Meili was not so hesitant. "No, Old Lady Du is too unkind. How much can a child eat? She chased people to the mountains so early in the morning. She didn't know that someone in the village was bitten by a snake a few days ago. What if this child was bitten? She is really too unreliable."

Du Jiang shrugged. "I don't know about that, Sister Qian. Daya's share will come from my food supply. I'm sorry to bother you today."

"You're so polite, it's just an extra bowl of water," Qian Meili waved her hand, "We'll have noodles for lunch, help me light the fire."

"I, Sister Meili, let me help you wash the vegetables. I am the one who washes vegetables at home." When Daya heard Qian Meili arranging the work, she quickly raised her hand.

Seeing this, Qian Meili didn't hesitate and said, "Okay, then help me wash the vegetables."

By the time Qian Meili had distributed the workload, Du Jiang had already lit the fire in the stove. Watching Du Jiang's skillful movements, Qian Meili retracted her gaze and began to knead the dough. "Du Jiang, Jiefang has already agreed with Uncle Du to use work points to borrow some money from the village to build a house. We can move in after our visit to relatives is over after the New Year. As for yours, if you want to build it, let's build it together. This way, it will be convenient for both of us to find help. If you live alone, I guess you don't need a very large place. A main room will be enough. We can build a stove next to the earthen kang when we bring it. This way, you don't have to go out to the yard to cook, and it will be convenient in winter."

Listening to the beautiful scenery planned by Qian Meili, Du Jiang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's fine. At least the environment is better than the pig house. I originally wanted to live in the pig house, but if I expand the breeding, the smell will probably be even worse. I don't have much money, and I don't know if the work points are enough."

"That's nothing. You can advance it. The village is also coming soon. When the time comes, the village head will be worried about the lack of accommodation for the educated youth." Qian Meili looked at the gate, then came close to Du Jiang and whispered, "I heard that there are many new educated youth, about eleven or twelve. I'm afraid they will have to live in the villagers' homes."

"How did you know?" Du Jiang also lowered his voice like Qian Meili.

"I heard Jiefang say that. He went to Uncle Du's house a few days ago and heard about building a house. We originally thought that we wouldn't be in a hurry after the New Year, but we have to be in a hurry now. That group of people said they would arrive before the New Year. We didn't bring much food when we came, and they certainly don't have much either. The village may not distribute food to them at that time. I guess they will definitely look for us old educated youth." Qian Meili didn't want to think wrongly. It was because when they first arrived, it was the summer food distribution time. Qian Meili still remembered the reluctant faces of the villagers very clearly. The way they looked at her as if she were an enemy scared her so much that she couldn't sleep for several nights.

Hearing Qian Meili talking about receiving the grain, Du Jiang also remembered the time when she borrowed grain when she first came. At that time, she was surrounded by villagers in the village committee. Du Jiang still remembered the hostility on those faces very clearly. This was also the reason why she worked so hard. After all, she still had foreign debts on her shoulders. Although the work was tiring, when she paid off the owed grain, the comfortable feeling she felt was indescribable. Although she was tired, she felt relaxed at that moment.

"Well, Sister Qian, let me build a house with you. I originally wanted to buy some food, but now let's build the house first. I will move out after it is built." Thinking back to what happened when he first arrived, Du Jiang felt a sense of urgency. He wanted to rush out and talk to the village chief about building a house.

"Okay, let's go together after dinner. It doesn't matter whether we get the certificate early or late. Jiefang and I are registered here, so we can get the certificate directly here." Like Du Jiang, Qian Meili was also extremely anxious at this time, and she wanted to knead the dough in her hand into a pancake immediately.

Daya, who was listening to the conversation, pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and finally told what she had heard from her grandmother, "Sister Qian, Sister Du, it's better for you to move out. I heard my uncle and the others are discussing introducing you both to someone. They say the person is very good and the gift is quite generous."

What? A big thunder came down, making Qian Meili and Du Jiang dizzy.

Du Jiang opened his mouth wide for a long time before closing it. "Daya, did your uncle and grandma discuss introducing you to someone?"

"Yes, they said that you came here as strangers, and we want to help you integrate into our Dujia Village."

This was truly shocking. Du Jiang and Qian Meili looked at each other and changed the subject, but they were still wary of Chen Xiaozhen. Fortunately, Chen Xiaozhen was getting married in a few days, and holding a wedding banquet in the village was equivalent to getting a marriage certificate. In this way, Chen Xiaozhen might not stay at the educated youth camp at night.

While eating, because of Daya's presence, Qian Meili and Du Jiang did not tell everyone what she had just said. As soon as the people left, the two of them couldn't wait to tell everyone what Daya had said.

After listening to this, Xu Zhizhou and the others thought more than Du Jiang and Qian Meili. After pondering for a while, Xu Zhizhou said, "Jiefang, you are going to marry Qian Meili anyway, so you and the village chief should ask for leave to get the marriage certificate. As for Du Jiang, don't go to remote places alone when you go to collect pig grass recently."

"I understand, Brother Xu," Du Jiang nodded with her head resting on her head. There was someone plotting in the dark palace, so even if she was brave, she didn't dare to wander around recently.
