Shen Chengyi held the steering wheel with one hand and reached to the passenger seat with the other hand, his fingertips naturally interlocked with Su Yuehua's fingers, "If I sell you, where can I find such a good wife like you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and drive carefully." Su Yuehua smiled and pretended to be angry and reached out to gently push his big hand away.

The jeep was bumpy all the way. When Su Yuehua opened her eyes again in a daze, it was already dark outside. She looked out the window and found that the jeep had already entered the county town. She pulled off the military coat covering her body and asked, "Chengyi, where are we?"

"An County." Shen Chengyi looked ahead and drove seriously, then came back with a sentence.

Su Yuehua straightened up and turned to look at Shen Chengyi, “An County, I haven’t heard of it. We are out of the capital.”

The jeep slowly slowed down and finally stopped across the street from a guesthouse.

As soon as the car stopped, the back door was opened, and a sturdy, square-faced man got in.

Shen Chengyi turned to look at the man and introduced: “Yuehua, this is my comrade Liu Xiangqian, who was assigned to An County after demobilization.”

"Xiang Qian, this is my wife, Su Yuehua."

Su Yuehua turned and nodded politely to him, "Hello."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Liu Xiangqian was obviously flattered and replied politely.

Then, he said to Shen Chengyi: “Just now I saw Principal Han lead a woman into the guesthouse. It happened that the person on duty at the front desk of the guesthouse tonight was my colleague’s sister. The information I inquired from her was that the two said they were a couple, and they brought their marriage certificate and letter of introduction and opened a room.”

Nowadays, a marriage certificate is just a piece of paper without even a photo. How can we be sure that the two people are husband and wife? Which couple would not sleep well at home at night but run to the neighboring province to secretly get a room?

Don't tell me they have money to burn. This was the conservative 1970s. Even if Principal Han wanted to pursue excitement, his wife would not abandon the children and run so far to be crazy with him.

Apparently Shen Chengyi thought the same thing as him, and asked Liu Xiangqian: "Did you see the age of the woman next to Principal Han?"

Liu Xiangqian pondered for only a second. "The woman's entire face was covered with a headscarf, but my colleague's sister said that the woman's hands were well maintained and she didn't look like she was in her forties at all."

Shen Chengyi's handsome eyebrows showed a smile, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's not that I don't look like I'm forty years old, it's that I'm not forty years old at all. The show is about to begin."

After that, he pulled the military coat covering Su Yuehua intimately and said softly: "You sleep for a while, I will call you when the show starts."

Su Yuehua really didn't want to miss the show, so she shook her head. But in the second half of the night, she was so sleepy that she fell asleep as soon as she closed her eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, he was woken up by Shen Chengyi.

"Yuehua, wake up."

Su Yuehua rubbed her eyes and looked out of the car window, and saw a team of people from the joint defense team rushing into the guesthouse, with Liu Xiangqian among them.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Principal Han was pushed out by the joint defense team in a disheveled state. Even though the woman walking next to Principal Han lowered her head, Su Yuehua recognized her as Niu Hongxia at a glance.

Her voice was trembling with excitement. "It was really Niu Hongxia. How did you know that she came to An County to have a private meeting with Principal Han?"

A hint of mockery flashed in Shen Chengyi's eyes, "This time it was all thanks to Xiaohu's cleverness. On the first day of school, he came home at night and told me that Niu Hongxia had been transferred to No. 1 Middle School."

"Can an elementary school teacher be transferred directly to a high school?" Su Yuehua was shocked after hearing this.

Chen Chengyi said with disdain, "Isn't it just a matter of Principal Han's words? After Teacher Ding retired, he transferred Niu Hongxia here on the grounds that the school was short of teachers. I just happened to hear that Principal Han was going to An County for a meeting, so I asked Liu Xiangqian to help me keep an eye on him."

The joint defense team pushed Principal Han and the other two away, and Liu Xiangqian ran to the car. When he opened the back door of the jeep, he almost laughed himself into death. "It's really funny. I just went to check the room with my brothers from the joint defense team. I knocked on the door for a long time but no one opened it. When the guesthouse staff got the spare key to open the door, the guy named Han tried to jump out the window to escape, but he failed to jump into the window several times. You can imagine how fierce the battle was last night."

"Ahem." Shen Chengyi coughed twice, signaling Liu Xiangqian to get to the point.

After being reminded by Shen Chengyi, Liu Xiangqian remembered that Su Yuehua was still in the car, and smiled awkwardly, "The comrades of the joint defense team directly pulled the man surnamed Han off the windowsill and interrogated him. He still refused to admit it, saying that he and his wife came to visit relatives, and heard someone knocking on the door outside. They thought they were robbed, so they were scared and wanted to jump out of the window to escape."

"It's amazing that he could think of that. The colleagues in the joint defense team are all veterans. They can tell at a glance whether they are a couple. Besides, the woman on the marriage certificate is 42 years old, and the woman in the room is in her twenties. Isn't he treating everyone as fools?"

Shen Chengyi turned to Liu Xiangqian and said politely: "Thank you, brother. I will treat you if you have time to come to the capital."

Liu Xiangqian smiled and waved his hand, "Chengyi, it's just a small matter, why are you so polite to me? Are you and sister-in-law going home today? If not, I will take you two around."

“Your sister-in-law has just been admitted to Capital University. She has classes today, so we have to leave soon.” Shen Chengyi’s face was full of pride.

Liu Xiangqian looked envious, "My sister-in-law is a college student, that's amazing, I'll wait until next time and drive slower on the way back."

"Okay." Shen Chengyi responded, rolled down the window and shouted to Liu Xiangqian who had just got out of the car: "Brother, I'm leaving, take care."

After saying that, he rolled up the window again, turned the steering wheel, and the jeep slowly drove away.

It was still dark at this time, and Shen Chengyi did not dare to drive too fast. The closer he drove to the capital, the brighter it became. When the jeep entered the capital, it was already bright. Shen Chengyi sent Su Yuehua to school and drove to work.

Su Yuehua finished her simple breakfast in the cafeteria. It was just time for class. When she arrived at the classroom, many students were already sitting there.

Wen Nuan, who was sitting in the back row of the classroom, called out to her, "Su Yuehua, here."

Seeing that Wen Nuan had reserved a seat for her, she walked over directly. As soon as she sat down, a thin male classmate wearing glasses came over.

The male student looked at Su Yuehua and pushed his glasses up. "Su Yuehua, my name is Qi Yingjie. Last night, our class held a class meeting and the whole class unanimously decided to elect me as the monitor, but I think I should still ask for your opinion."

The selection has already been made, so why ask for opinions? Isn't that a waste of time?

Su Yuehua went to college just to study, so she didn't care who was the monitor. She forced a smile and said, "Monitor Qi, I have no objection."

When she turned around, she saw Fang Lina looking at her with resentment.

Wen Nuan's eyes just happened to pass Fang Lina's, and she snorted coldly: "Do you know why Fang Lina is acting like a grudge today?"
