"Teacher Jiang is back!"

When the villagers saw Jiang Xiaohui, they all greeted him warmly.

Jiang Xiaohui nodded slightly stiffly.

Then the man turned around and continued discussing with the people around him.

"Luckily Qi Qingmei is the village chief's favorite. Otherwise, she would become a cripple and no young man would want her."

"That's right! The village chief has good vision and arranged for Teacher Jiang to get engaged to Qi Qingmei earlier. Otherwise, she might be an old girl who can't get married."

"You can get married, but you can't marry a good young man. You can only marry a man who is also disabled or whose wife has died."

Several people burst into laughter!

Jiang Xiaohui slowly clenched his hands around the bicycle handlebars.

He wanted to say, hey, I'm standing here, even if you're talking about me, can you please do it behind my back?

"Teacher Jiang, are you going back to school or to Qi's house?"

The villagers asked casually when they saw Teacher Jiang standing there motionless.

"...Go back to school!" Jiang Xiaohui said and rode his bike at full speed.

Looking at Teacher Jiang's back, several people shook their heads and sighed.

“What a pity!”

Zhu Yinling was also sitting among the group, looking at the direction Jiang Xiaohui left, somewhat confused as to why Shen Qinghe asked her to say that.

Anyway, she ate her egg, so I have to do things for her.

She stood up and brushed the dirt off her butt. It was time to go to the next intelligence point to chat!

…

The next day, Shen Qinghe got up at six in the morning.

It was just dawn.

Jiang Chunlin also got up and asked, "Why are you getting up so early today?"

Shen Qinghe, "There is still one piece of clothing that has not been finished. I will go to the black market after I finish it."

Jiang Chunlin nodded, washed up and went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Jiang Chunlin made a few egg pancakes, beat the raw eggs into a bowl, poured boiling water over them and added some brown sugar.

He brought omelette and egg soup into the house on a tray.

Shen Qinghe got up from the sewing machine and sat at the octagonal table to eat breakfast.

After taking a bite of the omelette, which was crispy and delicious, she exclaimed in surprise, "You are such a good cook!"

Jiang Chunlin raised the corners of his mouth. It was not easy for his wife to praise him.

"I have never liked working since I was a child. I love going to the mountains. The harvest from one trip to the mountains is equivalent to three days of work.

When I came back from the mountains, my mother hadn’t come back from work yet, so I was hungry and made my own food. It tasted terrible at first, but it got better as I made more.”

You lost the bet last time, but I will honor your bet tomorrow morning!"

Jiang Chunlin said it calmly, even a little proudly.

Shen Qinghe felt sad when she heard this, as he had such a hard childhood.

Jiang Chunlin proudly boasted to Shen Qinghe that he had been capable since childhood and wanted her to praise him again.

When I turned around, I saw her sad expression.

He was stunned for a moment, then reached out and held her hand. "Our ancestors have all lived this way. Every child has learned to do these things since childhood. It doesn't seem so hard when we all suffer together."

Shen Qinghe's body stiffened slightly, she really wanted to tell him.

That’s not true. Not all children have such a hard childhood.

But in this era, looking around, it seems that everyone is almost the same.

No one will laugh at anyone else's poverty because everyone is equally poor.

"From now on, it won't be as hard as when we were kids!" Shen Qinghe's eyes were a little moist. Imagining Jiang Chunlin's small figure walking hard on the mountain, her heart ached inexplicably.

"It's not hard as long as I have you!" Jiang Chunlin looked at Shen Qinghe with burning eyes and slowly moved his head closer to her.

Shen Qinghe's heartbeat quickened, and she slowly closed her eyes, waiting...

"Comrade Xiao Jiang!"

The sound outside the door made the two of them jump up and sit up straight, and the ambiguous atmosphere just now disappeared in a second.

Jiang Chunlin glanced at Shen Qinghe, feeling so angry that he wanted to hit her!

When he walked out the door, he was stunned to see Cai Li, "Deputy Director Cai?"

"Hey!" Cai Li responded, parked his bicycle at the door, and followed Jiang Chunlin into the house.

When I saw the omelette on the eight-immortals table and the egg soup in the bowl, I thought, this couple must be living a very comfortable life.

"Deputy Director Cai, have you had breakfast? If not, let's eat together." Shen Qinghe stood up and said with a smile, "This is made by Jiang Chunlin."

"Then I have to try it!" Deputy Director Cai said with a smile.

He picked up a piece of omelet with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, then looked at Jiang Chunlin in surprise.

"How come you know everything?"

Jiang Chunlin said calmly, "I can't help it, I'm born smart!"

Deputy Director Cai's mouth twitched, "Thick skin is also innate!"

Shen Qinghe couldn't help but laugh.

Cai Li ate two egg pancakes before explaining his purpose.

He looked at Jiang Chunlin and asked with a smile, "Little brother, are you interested in working in the institute?"

Shen Qinghe's eyes moved and she looked at Jiang Chunlin.

Jiang Chunlin was also looking at Shen Qinghe.

He smiled at Shen Qinghe, and then replied to Cai Li, "Not interested!"

Cai Li, "..."

He thought the boy would be very interested.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is making clothes more interesting than working in the police station?" Isn't that what women like to do?

"Well, making clothes is really interesting." Because the clothes were designed by Shen Qinghe, he felt a sense of awe every time he packed them.

Cai Li smacked his lips. He came with hope and left with disappointment.

He still had a lot of things to do in his office, and since Jiang Chunlin was unwilling, he would not force him.

"I thought you preferred working in the institute." Shen Qinghe said puzzledly after Cai Li left.

Jiang Chunlin glanced at Shen Qinghe, "What about you? What are your plans for your career?"

Shen Qinghe was startled!

Of course she had a plan, but she didn't expect Jiang Chunlin to ask.

"I like making clothes and designing many beautiful clothes. No matter they are young girls, middle-aged women or old ladies, they can feel happy when they wear the clothes I designed. That's enough!"

When Shen Qinghe said this, her eyes were bright, as if filled with stars.

Jiang Chunlin looked at her lovingly and continued, "Okay, you design clothes from now on, and I'll help you with other chores."

"Other trivial matters?" Shen Qinghe was puzzled.

Jiang Chunlin smiled and said, "You see, the authorities don't allow the existence of individual businesses, but the black market still exists. They don't allow sales openly, but as long as you don't use the excuse of reselling goods to do something illegal, they will turn a blind eye.

Maybe one day, the higher authorities will allow the existence of individual businesses!

By then, you can concentrate on designing clothes, and I will open a clothing factory to sell the clothes you design. What do you think?"

Shen Qinghe was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Chunlin to think so deeply and so far.

Moreover, it is so accurate!

"Jiang Chunlin, do you really think so?" After a long while, Shen Qinghe asked slowly.

Jiang Chunlin nodded, "That's what I think, this is my career plan.

Although I don’t know when that day will come, I believe that day will not be too far away! ”

Shen Qinghe's heart was beating like a drum. It was now 1976. In another four years, she would be able to do business openly and honestly.

If she didn't know that Jiang Chunlin was a native, she would have thought that he was also a time traveler.

Such a thorough analysis of the situation.

"Yeah, I also believe that day will come."
