Seeing Song Qinghe's nervousness, he even took the time to comfort her.

"It's alright, Xiao He. As the saying goes, an unmarried son-in-law is more useful than a donkey."

"Let him do it, you stay home and rest."

"Auntie!"

Song Qinghe blushed slightly. Things were still very uncertain; whether they would be able to get married in the future was still unknown.

Tian Xiu'e didn't make things difficult for her; after saying that, she picked up her hoe and left.

She also has to work in the fields.

Every little bit helps; it will help us get a bigger share of the grain when it's distributed later.

By this time, the villagers and educated youth who had gone out to work in the fields had all left.

There were hardly any people in the village committee compound. After looking around, Song Qinghe decided to head back.

However, before going back, she had to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.

Even if it's just for show.

Otherwise, how would I take out all the good stuff in my own space?

Lu Zhaolin treated her quite well, so even if it was just to reciprocate, she should cook something nice for him in return.

Just as Song Qinghe was about to leave, she heard the village chief, Lu Jinguang, call her.

“Song, let’s go, come with me to the educated youth settlement.”

"ah?"

“Send Wu You back; our educated youth settlement doesn’t need someone like that.”

"Okay, thank you, village chief."

Song Qinghe immediately perked up. She had to admit that the village chief was quite nice; he had been taking good care of her since yesterday and could be considered her benefactor.

Lu Jinguang directly said that there was no need to thank him. He was not simply considering things for Song Qinghe, but rather from the perspective of the entire village.

From the perspective of the entire village, that educated youth named Wu You was really not suitable to stay in their village.

If we stay, we'll definitely run into big trouble later.

This was his intuition.

And there's one more thing.

"My husband told me that you want to become a teacher at the town's primary school?"

"Yes, with my thin arms and legs, I'm afraid I'd be more of a hindrance than a help when I go to work in the fields."

"So I was thinking of finding an easier job, village chief. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Song Qinghe sincerely said that she was lucky to have met good people, otherwise she really didn't know what kind of things she would have encountered.

"It's alright, but I can't say for sure about this, teacher. The town just told us to keep an eye out for it."

"In the end, you still need to pass an exam, and I estimate that quite a few people will sign up."

"I'll take you there today to register your name. You can come back and get ready. It should be done soon."

After all, sending children to school is a top priority.

One still needs to read and write; everything else has to take a backseat.

After Lu Jinguang finished speaking, he called Lu Youqian over to hitch up the oxcart and take them there.

Lu Youqian, that rich baby, acted like a complete idiot. Without even thinking, I refused and told them to go their own way.

It was only after much persuasion and threats from Lu Jinguang that Lu Youqian finally relented and obediently complied.

Song Qinghe watched them bickering and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Life in the countryside seems to be much better than I expected; it's not boring at all.

Of course, this is mainly due to my acquaintance with Lu Zhaolin.

The village chief's kind attitude towards her must be partly due to Lu Zhaolin's influence.

When Lu Jinguang saw her yesterday, his attitude was rather indifferent, more like he was just completing a task assigned by his superiors, and he wasn't particularly enthusiastic.

After arriving in town—
