After finishing their meal, the couple lay back down on the kang (a heated brick bed). It must be said that they were quite in sync when it came to lying down.

The next day, Qin Ye and Qin Feng went to pick up the new educated youth. Qin Xiaoxiao had nothing to do, so she sat under the big tree at the entrance of the village chatting with Aunt Liu, Aunt Song, and a group of idle old ladies.

In reality, these people, like Qin Xiaoxiao, were waiting for the new educated youth.

Although many batches of educated youth have come to the village, and it's nothing new, the fields aren't busy right now, so it's rare to see something exciting, and of course we can't miss it.

So in the afternoon, Qin Ye and Qin Feng brought the new educated youth back in an oxcart.

As they approached the village road, Qin Xiaoxiao and a group of older women craned their necks to look at the vehicle. Surprisingly, there wasn't a single female educated youth this time; all three assigned to them were male.

Qin Xiaoxiao, who had been on tenterhooks all day, breathed a sigh of relief.

My life is temporarily safe, yay!

“Xiaoxiao, it’s perfect that you’re here. In a bit, you can take these educated youths to the educated youth settlement and make arrangements.”

It was rare for Qin Feng to have a smile on his face when he was assigned to the educated youth program. Qin Xiaoxiao knew this was because all the educated youth this time were male, and there wasn't a single female one.

It's no wonder Qin Feng was willing to put on a smiling face. In previous years, the female educated youth sent to the countryside were really too noisy, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with. If they asked for leave today, their reputation would be ruined tomorrow. It was simply too annoying. Moreover, they were not good at working and could not earn many work points a day. At the end of the year, they not only could not get grain, but they also had to spend money to buy it.

Although his eldest niece was the same, she had the entire Qin family to fill the void, which made her different from them. Therefore, Qin Feng looked down on these female educated youths.

Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at the three male educated youths on the oxcart, nodded with a smile, and said, "Understood, sir, I'll take them there right away."

Qin Feng turned around and pointed at Qin Xiaoxiao and the three male educated youths, saying, "This is my niece, also an educated youth. She got married a few days ago and lives in the educated youth compound. You can ask her if you have any questions."

After saying that, he kicked the three male educated youths off the cart, threw their luggage to the side of the road, and told Qin Ye to drive the oxcart away quickly.

He has a ton of things to do, who has the time to waste here?

He handed the person over to Qin Xiaoxiao, who was also concerned. Instead, she introduced herself in a very friendly manner.

"My name is Qin Xiaoxiao. The Captain Qin who just left was my uncle. I was also a sent-down youth, but I went back to my ancestral home to be sent to the countryside."

Our Qinjiagou village has a good geographical location, four distinct seasons, and very friendly people. The villagers from the surrounding area get along like one big family.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the two elderly women who had just passed by stood in their respective courtyards and began to hurl insults over the walls. Their insults were incredibly offensive.

Qin Xiaoxiao was instantly embarrassed.

Damn it, why did they have to start fighting right after I praised our village?!

Qin Xiaoxiao took a deep breath, smiled and turned around, saying, "Everyone, follow me. This way is closer to the educated youth settlement."

Qin Xiaoxiao pretended not to hear anything and continued to lead the three forward with a smile.

Anyway, as long as I'm not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed.

Don't ask silly questions. You're new here, so it's best to mind your own business.

The three male educated youths exchanged glances, their eyes filled with smiles, but they wisely pretended not to have heard anything, giving Qin Xiaoxiao ample face.

Qin Xiaoxiao praised Qinjiagou again and again, especially emphasizing that Qinjiagou had its own industries, namely the fruit trees and Chinese medicinal herbs on Mao'er Mountain, as well as the mountain products that could be picked in autumn. As long as they were willing to work hard, they would definitely not go hungry.

"It's just ahead. Let's go in a bit. Everyone, please introduce yourselves so that we can all get to know each other. Don't worry, we educated youth are all very friendly and welcome you to join our big family."

The three didn't speak, only nodded, which made Qin Xiaoxiao secretly complain that the three were too aloof and didn't know how to handle things.

Soon, Qin Xiaoxiao led the three people into the educated youth compound. Jiang Xiaotian was washing clothes in the yard, so Qin Xiaoxiao quickly handed him over.

Jiang Xiaotian knew that new educated youth were coming today, but he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly, and there were only three male educated youth, not a single female one.

Soon, Jiang Xiaotian gathered all the educated youth together. Apart from a few who were going to work today, the rest of them all came to show their respect, including Qin Xiaoxiao.

Jiang Xiaotian first arranged a room for the three of them. Since they had come together, Jiang Xiaotian had one of the male educated youths move out so that the three of them could live together in one room.

Then Jiang Xiaotian pointed to each one in the courtyard.

He said "this is so-and-so" and "that is so-and-so" very quickly, without caring whether the three people remembered them or not.

Finally, Chiang Hsiao-tien asked the three to introduce themselves.

The tallest man stepped forward first, his sharp eyes sweeping over the crowd. "Hello everyone, my name is Xiao Nanfeng..."

As soon as the name was mentioned, Qin Xiaoxiao, who was standing with Liu Meijuan, eating sunflower seeds and chatting quietly, swayed and almost fell flat on her face.

Liu Meijuan quickly caught her, "What's wrong? Are you dizzy?"

Qin Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head, "No, I didn't stand properly, I'm fine now, don't worry."

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao was really alright, Liu Meijuan felt relieved and leaned against the wall, cracking sunflower seeds and muttering to herself.

"This guy is quite handsome. I must say, he's comparable to Zou Zhiqing, but he's still a bit inferior to your Su Lu."

As Liu Meijuan spoke, she shook her head, completely unaware of Qin Xiaoxiao's pale face and tearful expression.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to what Xiao Nanfeng said after that, because just one name was enough to bother her.

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but look at Mu Jin, who was standing next to Su Yu.

The destined male lead has appeared, and Mu Jin, the female lead, is now in her life. It's time for them to start their sweet and carefree life of love and affection, right?

Qin Xiaoxiao stood behind Mu Jin and couldn't see Mu Jin's expression. If she could, she would definitely say, "Fate is predetermined. What is meant to be yours can't be taken away by anyone."

Mu Jin stared blankly at Xiao Nanfeng, her thoughts drifting away.

Why does he look exactly like her lover from her past life? Not only do they look the same, but even their names are identical.

Could it be that he wore it too?

Mu Jin was a little irritable, which showed on her face. Su Yu, who was next to her, sensed that something was wrong. The usually quiet Mu Jin seemed to be making a lot of movements.

"Hibiscus, what's wrong?"

"Get closer to the hibiscus," Su Yu asked softly.

Mu Jin took a deep breath and forced a smile. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

After introducing himself, Xiao Nanfeng gave Mu Jin a deep look, but Mu Jin turned around to talk to Su Yu at that moment and did not see it.

After Xiao Nanfeng introduced himself, the two male educated youths standing behind him quickly followed suit.

The other two educated youths were named Tang Yongqiang and Fang Xu.

Qin Xiaoxiao knew these two people. In the original book, they came with Xiao Nanfeng to carry out a mission. All three were soldiers, and they came to Qinjiagou to protect their old commander who was working there.
