For Jiang Xiaotian, an old educated youth, participating in the assessment was a rare opportunity, so he naturally had to seize it, while also preparing to give Qin Feng face.

Jiang Xiaotian's eyes darted around, and he looked at Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan with a smile.

“The youth housing facility is full right now, and we’re afraid we can’t allocate any single rooms for you for the time being. If you want to live alone, just talk to the brigade leader and ask him to allocate a plot of land to build a house.”

After Jiang Xiaotian finished speaking, he smiled and ran to Qin Feng's side to ask about the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, no longer paying attention to Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan, whose faces were pale.

Qin Xiaoxiao raised an eyebrow and pulled Su Yu and Liu Meijuan back to the backyard.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't mention Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan again, but looked at Liu Meijuan and asked, "Sister, do you want to take the exam?"

Liu Meijuan rolled her eyes, straightened her clothes, and smoothed her hair. "Little sister, do you think someone like your sister can pass the exam? Knowing she can't pass, why bother taking the exam? With that time spent studying, she could be spending it with her boyfriend in the woods cultivating their relationship."

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Meijuan in shock, "Sister, you can say this to me, but please don't spread it around outside, or you'll be finished if you get arrested."

Liu Meijuan pointed her finger at Qin Xiaoxiao's forehead in an annoyed tone, "Do you think your sister is stupid? There are no outsiders here, otherwise I wouldn't have said such things."

Qin Xiaoxiao's lips twitched.

This silly woman is too trusting.

Although they had a good relationship and she had no intention of harming her, Qin Xiaoxiao still felt a little warm inside from her unconditional trust in her.

Qin Xiaoxiao rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

Fine, I'll just have to look after her more from now on, otherwise she might get sold off one day without even knowing it.

None of the three participated in the exam, so they naturally didn't care who got the worker-peasant-soldier spot. In particular, Qin Xiaoxiao knew that the college entrance examination would be reinstated in two years, and the status of the worker-peasant-soldier would be very awkward then. Even if she had the opportunity, she wouldn't go.

Of course, Qin Xiaoxiao hasn't thought about taking the college entrance exam yet. To be honest, she's found that she doesn't have the talent for studying. She can only read for about five minutes before she falls into a deep sleep. She's almost using reading as a sleeping pill.

Moreover, she never brought her textbooks after getting married, and Su Lu didn't seem to like studying much either; he had never mentioned going to school since they got married.

Thinking about this, Qin Xiaoxiao felt that she should ask Su Lu when he came back, since she still didn't know what his educational background was.

The three chatted for a while, guessing who in the educated youth compound had the best chance, and then the three went to the Qin family's house for dinner together.

Liu Meijuan didn't want to go, but Qin Xiaoxiao dragged her there. The Qin family welcomed Liu Meijuan's arrival, mainly because they knew that Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Meijuan had a good relationship and that Liu Meijuan had taken good care of Qin Xiaoxiao. Otherwise, the Qin family wouldn't have accepted an outsider so easily.

After dinner, the three of them went back to the educated youth compound together. Qin Xiaoxiao led the two of them in through the back door. As soon as they entered the compound, they heard someone knocking on the door.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at the wooden door separating her from the educated youth with a puzzled expression, and asked in a low voice, "Who is it? What's up?"

Zou Jing's pleasant, low-pitched voice rang out from the other side of the door, "Qin Zhiqing, did Su Yu come back with you?"

Upon hearing that it was Zou Jing, Qin Xiaoxiao turned around and gave Su Yu a mischievous smile, "You're back, wait a minute."

Back in the house, she pretended to rummage through the cabinet for the key, but actually took it from her spatial storage. Qin Xiaoxiao had a habit of keeping important things in her spatial storage to prevent them from being stolen.

After opening the door, Zou Jing stood at the entrance without moving, but his eyes were anxiously fixed on Su Yu. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Su Yu was standing safely in the yard.

"You guys are back?"

Qin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. "Isn't that obvious? Didn't you see three living people standing right in front of you?"

Zou Jing choked and fell silent.

It was rare for Zou Jing to be so angry that he couldn't speak, which Qin Xiaoxiao found quite amusing.

Turning to look at Su Yu, he found that she was looking at Zou Jing with a shy expression.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Meijuan rolled their eyes at the sight.

This silly girl is completely under Zou Jing's control. If Zou Jing gets tired of Su Yu one day and wants to break up, Su Yu will probably be hurt a lot.

Qin Xiaoxiao frowned slightly, but did not speak.

As an outsider, she shouldn't meddle in other people's relationships. Otherwise, if things go wrong later, she'll inevitably face complaints. Even the best of friends can't withstand such emotional drain. To prevent a future falling out, it's best to keep quiet.

However, she could secretly talk to Su Yun. After all, they were sisters, and they could speak freely about anything. Even if she didn't remind Su Yu, she should talk to Zou Jing.

He'd better not do anything to hurt Su Yu, otherwise...

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled and looked at Zou Jing, "Zou, please come in and sit for a while. There are many of us, so we're not afraid of people saying anything out of line."

Zou Jing didn't think too much about it. However, with Qin Xiaoxiao and Liu Meijuan around, he subconsciously stopped at the door to avoid too much contact with women, which was also a way of giving Su Yu a sense of security.

Zou Jing looked at Su Yu, and only after she nodded did he step into the courtyard.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't close the courtyard gate, and the door to her room was wide open, which instantly put Zou Jing at ease.

The four of them sat on the kang (a heated brick bed). Qin Xiaoxiao poured mung bean water for the three of them and prepared melon seeds and peanuts. She didn't take out any pastries, as they had just finished eating and couldn't eat anymore.

The four discussed the matter concerning workers, peasants, and soldiers, and as they talked, they brought up Zhou Ying and Huang Yuan again.

Zou Jing frowned when he mentioned the two men.

"Qin Zhiqing, you should stay away from them in the future. Neither of them are good people."

Qin Xiaoxiao smiled slightly, "Thank you for reminding me, I understand."

Zhou Ying was definitely not a kind person, and Huang Yuan, well...

A simple "hehe" is worth a thousand words.

Seeing that Qin Xiaoxiao understood, Zou Jing said no more.

Liu Meijuan then asked, "Do you think they will give up? Or will they continue to insist on staying at the educated youth compound?"

Su Yu rolled her eyes in disdain. "They have the nerve to stay in the educated youth compound. What they did has caused so much damage to our reputation. Now the villagers look at us educated youth with a bad eye, especially the female educated youth. It's like we're all as shameless as Zhou Ying."

Qin Xiaoxiao chuckled coldly, "She should have known this would happen the day she plotted against Su Yun and my brother. To get close to my brother, she actually pretended to have amnesia. Luckily, I'm smart and always on guard against her, otherwise my brother would have been in deep trouble."

In her previous life, Qin Ye was indeed outmaneuvered by her. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married her. If she hadn't entered the Qin family, the original owner's wealth wouldn't have ended up in her pocket, and there wouldn't have been the scene where she shone brightly with the original owner's money after the reform and opening up.

In this life, Zhou Ying wanted to use the same trick again, but unfortunately, she was not the original owner of the body. She survived by taking the place of the original owner, and because of her interference, all her plans ultimately failed.

Now that she and Huang Yuan are forced to be together, let's see what kind of trouble she'll cause next. (End of Chapter)
