Not many children from the compound actually went to the countryside as educated youth. Those who did go were usually due to special circumstances, such as the one from the Yu family and Shao Qifeng. Of course, there were also those like Qin Yao who were naive and full of enthusiasm.

The ignorance of youth always requires harsh reality to make one understand life, but paying the price of youth is a lesson that is far too great.

Qin Yao is lucky. If Mu Jinghuai and she hadn't been mutually attracted, who would have paid for her youth?

Because Qin Yao and Yu Mei were close in the past, Yu Baozhu didn't like Qin Yao when they went to the countryside. But despite this, Yu Baozhu still offered a helping hand when Qin Yao was being targeted by the villagers.

Yu Baozhu was not talkative and had a somewhat gloomy appearance. Perhaps it was a habit she had developed since childhood. She was not very sociable at the educated youth settlement.

Therefore, she has no friends all these years.

When she got married, the educated youth from the educated youth settlement escorted her to her wedding. Her companions from the compound pooled their money to prepare her dowry. They prepared dowries for all the villagers who got married, and even those who didn't have dowries according to the customs of the capital. It was on that day that Yu Baozhu experienced true care. She cried very hard that day, and then all the educated youth from the compound hugged each other and cried.

Yu Baozhu's tears were a result of being moved. These brothers and sisters made her experience the care of her family for the first time, and she also felt lost about her future life.

The tears of others are for their past, present, and uncertain future.

Yu Baozhu didn't step forward. Her eyes were red as she looked at Qin Yao. She knew that with Qin Yao leaving, the gap between them would widen and they would most likely never see each other again.

Qin Yao knew Yu Baozhu's personality, so she didn't say anything to her specifically. Before Qin Yao and Mu Jinghuai got on the donkey cart, Yu Baozhu suddenly stepped forward and hugged Qin Yao, whispering in her ear, "Stay away from Yu Mei. She's a venomous scorpion. She has many secrets. She approached you not just to steal Mu Jinghuai from you. Don't meet with her alone in the future. Remember that. You must remember that."

While Qin Yao was still in surprise, Yu Baozhu had already let go of her, as if she were just giving her a farewell hug.

Mu Jinghuai had sharp ears and heard Yu Baozhu's words.

Qin Yao didn't come to her senses until the donkey cart had already traveled some distance. She stared at Mu Jinghuai, completely bewildered by Yu Baozhu's words.

After Qin Yao left, the educated youth in the compound were all quite depressed.

As Yu Baozhu turned to leave, Shao Qifeng handed her a very thick letter.

The letter was written by Qin Yao to Yu Baozhu.

When Yu Baozhu received the letter, tears finally streamed down her face.

Shao Qifeng: "Sister Yu, if you need any help in the future, you can just tell me. Sister Qin is quite worried about you."

Yu Baozhu cried very hard, as if she wanted to cry out all the grievances she had suffered over the past twenty years.

Shao Qifeng: "Sister Yu, actually your wife is a good person. Although you no longer have the Yu family, our Shao family, Qin family, and Mu family will always be your support in the future."

In the end, Yu Baozhu was sent back by Shao Qifeng.

Qin Yao knew that Yu Baozhu was a person with a strong sense of self-respect. She not only wrote a letter to Yu Baozhu, reminding her and her husband to review their high school studies, but also expressed her gratitude to her. In fact, Qin Yao knew all about the help Yu Baozhu had given her in secret.

In addition, Qin Yao also stuffed a lot of money and tickets into the envelope.

Yu Baozhu is already pregnant. Qin Yao knows that she may not come when the baby is born, so before coming to Northeast China, she obtained a lot of milk powder coupons, sugar coupons, cloth coupons, and industrial coupons that are hard to get.

In her letter, Qin Yao also expressed her hope to see her family again in Kyoto in the near future.

Xu Xinning officially began her teaching career. She didn't expect the school to value her so much, assigning her to mentor graduating students right from the start.

When Xu Xinning walked into the classroom, everyone looked at her curiously, thinking that some child had gone to the wrong place.

"Hey, are you from our school? We're about to start class, have you come to the wrong place?" someone asked.

"Are you here to see someone? Who are you looking for?"

"This person looks familiar; I feel like I've seen him somewhere before."

"Are you saying a woman looks familiar just because she's pretty?"

The students who heard this burst into laughter.

"Student, this is a classroom, a place for learning. Please leave!" an agitated female student stood up and said.

Xu Xinning looked at the students below, all of whom were older than her, but she wasn't intimidated. She didn't speak immediately, but just stood there looking at the self-important students.

Why is she standing on the podium?

"Could he be mentally ill?"

Xu Xinning suddenly asked, "What are the key points of traditional Chinese medicine in treating patients?"

"Observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation!" someone echoed.

Xu Xinning: "So do you think you can become qualified practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine?"

The classroom fell silent in an instant.

Xu Xinning: "Let me introduce myself. My surname is Xu. I will be spending the next year with you all."

"Is she...she that amazing TCM teacher?" someone whispered.

Even before Xu Xinning started teaching, her story had already spread throughout the school, so the students knew that a super amazing teacher would be coming to guide them.

In the students' minds, such a great teacher must be an old man, otherwise he couldn't have achieved so much. So when Xu Xinning walked into the classroom, they didn't think of her as a teacher at all.

These students were originally recommended from various places, so they couldn't help but feel a little proud. Now, seeing such a young girl become their teacher, they felt very resentful and even forgot about the achievements the school had introduced Xu Xinning for.

"Tch, what kind of teacher is he? He's still wet behind the ears and dreaming of being a teacher."

Without saying a word, Xu Xinning suddenly shot out a silver needle, which went straight into the speaker's acupoint.

The man stared in astonishment at the silver needles that were precisely inserted into his hand, his eyes widening as he dared not move.

The students around them also stared in horror at the silver needle.

Xu Xinning: "How are you feeling right now, classmate?"

"It's numb!" the man replied, no longer daring to act rashly.

Xu Xinning: "Okay! It's numb, that's right. These are the acupoints on your hand. After class, write down all the acupoints on the human body from memory and hand them to me."

Now all the students dared not utter a sound.

Since this was Xu Xinning's first lecture, the school leaders were worried and, without the students' knowledge, all sat at the very back of the classroom.

Xu Xinning saw it when she came in. She thought it was normal for a new teacher to teach for the first time, so she didn't show it.

When the students first expressed their dissatisfaction, the school leaders initially wanted to stand up and defuse the situation, but they didn't expect Xu Xinning to act so quickly.
