It would be a lie to say that these female educated youths didn't envy Zhou Qinglan.

Sheng Xiping is good-looking and capable. He can do everything from mountain climbing to hunting, and he can make money. He is also very good to Zhou Qinglan.

The key point is that not only Sheng Xiping himself is good to Zhou Qinglan, but the entire Sheng family is exceptionally good to her.

Some time ago, Sheng Xiping's mother made cotton-padded pants for Zhou Qinglan by hand. They fit her perfectly and were very warm.

These past two days, Zhou Qinglan has put on a new cotton-padded coat again.

It is said that Sheng Xiping bought the cloth and cotton from the Songjianghe Store, and Sheng's mother worked overnight to make it, just in case Zhou Qinglan got cold.

With a family like that, which girl wouldn't be jumping for joy to marry into it?

The local girls in Qianchuan were filled with regret. Why hadn't they thought of this before?

No, that's not right either. It's not that they didn't want to, it's just that Sheng Xiping didn't think much of them.

Even if they have their own ideas, they don't have Zhou Qinglan's face.

Amidst the teasing of the girls, Zhou Qinglan emerged from the house with a beaming smile.

"What's wrong? Didn't you just get home a little while ago? Why are you back again?"

"What else could happen? I've discussed it with my mom, and you, Li Xue, and Wang Lin will move to the west room of my house."

With my mother taking care of you, I can rest assured on the mountain.

Sheng Xiping smiled as soon as he saw Zhou Qinglan.

It's said that you can't hide your feelings for someone, and that's true. When you see your sweetheart, you can't help but smile—a happy and sweet smile.

"Also, Uncle Wang wants you to join the testing team and apprentice under Sister Chen. I just happened to come over to ask you what you think and whether you want to go."

Wang Jiachuan had just told Sheng Xiping about this, and Sheng Xiping hadn't had a chance to ask Zhou Qinglan's opinion yet.

"Anyway, it's fine if you don't want to go to the testing team; it's not exactly an easy job."

"You might as well stay home and relax; I can afford to support you anyway."
