Gu Yifeng nodded, "Yes, we've talked about it. Some people really don't want to. They're afraid that if they're registered as private school teachers, they won't be able to leave this place in the future."

Qiu Yi fell silent!

Didn't they consider that they could continue teaching and pursuing further studies while also being able to transfer to another position later?

"Okay, I'll help you compile a list tonight of who wants to take your exam. I'll give you a list," Gu Yifeng said after thinking for a moment.

"Yes, that's a good idea. If I'm selected to be a teacher, there's a possibility that I can stay here for a long time," Qiu Yi said.

Gu Yifeng hummed in agreement.

After Qiu Yi left, Gu Yifeng thought for a moment and then went to find Yang Man.

He couldn't care about others, but Yang Man couldn't take that exam. He had followed her here, and now the two of them had become lovers as he had wished. He was even thinking of going back together with her!

When Gu Yifeng arrived at Yang Man's dormitory, Yang Man was chatting and laughing with several female educated youths.

Upon seeing Gu Yifeng arrive, the other female educated youths quickly and tactfully left Yang Man's dormitory.

Gu Yifeng closed the door behind him, then turned back and looked at Yang Man with burning eyes.

"Manman!"

Gu Yifeng walked up to Yang Man, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her lips.

When he reached puberty and his heart began to flutter, the first girl he fell in love with was Yang Man. However, because she was his teacher's daughter, he dared not say anything. He could only try his best to be a shadow behind her every day, silently protecting her.

He waited for so many years, and now, Manman has finally seen his goodness and accepted him. How could he not be happy?

He knew that Yang Man must have been moved by his decision to follow her here as an educated youth. Although becoming an educated youth was a path his family had planned for him to gain prestige, he insisted on coming here with Yang Man, and his family finally agreed.

His family also knew that he had liked Yang Man for many years.

Yang Man is the kind of girl who is late to realize her feelings. She didn't realize Gu Yifeng liked her before, but after she learned that he had followed her here to be an educated youth, her heart was moved by him.

The two kissed more and more passionately, and when Yang Man regained her senses, she found that her top was long gone.

She gasped and looked at Gu Yifeng in disbelief.

Gu Yifeng's consciousness also returned in a daze, and he realized where his hands were and that Manman had been pinned to the bed by him.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Manman, I didn't know, I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!" Gu Yifeng quickly stammered an apology and hurriedly helped her take the short-sleeved shirt over her body.

But he couldn't bear to leave her side, so he lay down next to her and stayed with her.

Yang Man's face flushed red. It wasn't the first time they had kissed, but it was the first time they had kissed so passionately that they didn't even know what they were doing.

Although her heart was beating a little fast, she also felt a sweet warmth in her heart, knowing that Gu Yifeng truly cared for her.

"Manman, if we can go back next year, let's get married. You know, I've liked you since I was fourteen, and it's been almost nine years now!"

After Yang Man put on her short-sleeved shirt, Gu Yifeng reached out and took her hand. The two lay side by side on the bed, and he turned to Yang Man and said...

"Oh, so early?" Yang Man asked in surprise, her face still flushed.

"Yes, do you remember when I went to your house to see Teacher Gu, you gave me grapes? I don't know why, but ever since then, I've never been able to forget you!" Gu Yifeng said softly.

Yang Man coughed lightly and gave a soft "oh".

Gu Yifeng was two years older than her. At that time, she had just started junior high school, and her mother taught junior high school students. He was her mother's student.

"By the way, Manman, don't get involved in that elementary school thing Qiu Yi set up. When he asks you to register, don't register or take the exam. If you get selected as an elementary school teacher, I'm afraid it will affect our plans to go back to the city next year." Gu Yifeng moved closer to Yang Man and whispered.

“Teacher Gu and Teacher Yang only have you as their daughter. You don’t want them to be left without anyone to take care of them in the future, do you?” Gu Yifeng gently reasoned with her.

Yang Man was silent for a while. Actually, she had originally planned to sign up for the exam. She felt that with her high school education, becoming a teacher would not be a problem.

Moreover, she knew that Zhao Huanhuan would definitely go back to become a teacher with Wen Yan. Why could they become teachers with a clean reputation, while she had to follow a group of male educated youth and do dirty and tiring work in the fields?

However, she didn't expect that her boyfriend would stop her from taking the elementary school teacher exam and didn't want her to take it.

When Gu Yifeng heard that he didn't reply, he sat up abruptly and looked at Yang Man in surprise, "Manman, do you want to go?"

Yang Man looked at him with a complicated expression. "I... I don't want to do farm work. I want to be a teacher. Besides, my parents are teachers, and I'm a high school student. I can be a teacher."

“But Manman, you didn’t graduate from a teacher training college or a teacher training school. Even if you become a teacher, it will be in a private school. It’s not worth it for you to stay here because of a private school teacher’s position!”

“Manman, are you planning to separate from me in the future? My family said that they will definitely be able to transfer us back next year and let us get a stable job in a state-owned enterprise.”

Yang Man silently looked at him for a long time before saying, "I can ask the village to recommend me to study at a teacher's college. When I graduate, I can become a public school teacher, and then I can transfer back to our place."

Gu Yifeng pursed his lips, staring intently at her, wanting to curse but unwilling to let go; after all, she was the girl he had liked for several years.

He hesitated for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "A commune might only have one or two recommendation slots for university, but do you think the production brigade will recommend you?"

“There are quite a few high school and junior high school students in this village. Besides, Zhao Huanhuan is now a village wife, and Hu Doudou will also become a village wife after she marries Hao Qiang. Do you think the village will recommend them first, or will they recommend you?”

Gu Yifeng analyzed it for her earnestly.

Yang Man paused, staring blankly at him.

She suddenly felt that what Gu Yifeng said seemed to make sense.

But she was so unwilling to accept it. Why did she have to lose to Zhao Huanhuan and Hu Doudou?

She absolutely loathed Zhao Huanhuan and Hu Doudou.

"But when I think about how I have to do farm work every day, while Zhao Huanhuan has to be a clean and honest teacher, I feel uncomfortable." As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice choked up.

Why should I?!

When Gu Yifeng saw Yang Man crying, he felt a pang of heartache and quickly hugged her, gently comforting her, "Manman, don't cry. I'll help you get back at those who bullied you. Don't worry, I'm here. I'm the captain now. If I want to deal with a few people, it'll be a piece of cake."
