Wang Jianguo, who was in the front yard, saw that they were all planning their own little courtyards, especially Qin Xuxiang. The two of them were finally going to become revolutionary partners, and he was getting anxious too.
He took advantage of the time while cooking to go and discuss it with Ding Shaoling.
The key issue is that neither of them has told their families yet.
"Shaoling, why don't we talk to our families?"
Ding Shaoling turned around and gave him a disapproving look.
Wang Jianguo squatted to the side, very anxious.
Seeing his pathetic state, Ding Shaoling said irritably, "You call yourself the captain? You're such a moron."
Wang Jianguo was unconvinced: "You..." But knowing his partner's temper, he quickly asked, "What's going on?"
"Our girls' dormitory is about to be completely vacated, and then I'll be all alone there. Such a big place isn't enough for the two of us."
"What are you saying? There's still Xue Zhenzhen."
"Xue Zhenzhen is dating Zhang Aimin from the village these days. She's so clever, she'll definitely become Zhang's daughter-in-law in a few months."
"So fast?"
Xue Zhenzhen has been here for four years. She had her eye on Lao Liu from their educated youth settlement, but he left when the city was recruiting workers.
Last year, Zhang Aimin from the village went to work as a teacher at a school in the county town. Xue Zhenzhen, with her pride, naturally didn't want to marry a man from the countryside, but being a teacher in the county town was the best option for her now.
After all, she's not young anymore. If she doesn't get married soon, she'll be stuck in a limbo and it will be really hard for her to find a husband.
Wang Jianguo scratched his head and said, "It's not convenient to stay with the female educated youth. What if another educated youth comes? That would be so awkward for us."
“Go to the back when someone comes. My dad said he’ll ask me about jobs in the next couple of years. It doesn’t have to be in our area. The county town or the commune are both fine.”
"Oh, what about me?"
“I have a job now, why are you still worried? You're a grown man, think of something! You can work at the farm next door, the forest farm, or in the county town, anything is better than being stuck here aimlessly. Look at us, we're already twenty-five or twenty-six. If this continues, I think we'll really be farmers for the rest of our lives.”
Wang Jianguo had also thought about this, but those jobs were all one-person-one-position, and even if there were any, they would be taken by the locals.
For dinner, we had thin porridge, vegetable dumplings, and a pot of stir-fried greens. The meal was simple, but everyone was very satisfied because we had eaten big meat buns at the state-run restaurant earlier that day.

Yun Shudai's side
Lately, she's been busy with acting classes, dance classes, and drawing opening sequences—busier than filming. Although she's a Grand Slam winner of Best Actress awards, as the saying goes, one is never too old to learn. Besides, she's currently a newcomer without acting training. If she wants to "improve" her acting skills, she naturally needs to learn humbly. It would be more reasonable for her acting skills to improve rapidly in the future.
These past few days, when Teacher Liang saw her, he repeatedly praised her for her progress.
"Shushu, Mom has a speech in the city today and won't be back for lunch. Order takeout for yourself."
"Mom, where's Dad? He's not coming back either."
"Your dad has been busy studying these past few days. He's been invited to do an appraisal for an auction in a few days."
Yun Shudai said in a hip-hop style: "Mom, Dad is really amazing."
Yun's mother chuckled, feeling proud of her husband: "He's dedicated his whole life to this one thing; how could he not achieve something?"
Yun Shudai truly admired her parents; they were both incredibly talented: "Mom, you're amazing too. You not only speak erotica, but you also speak many other languages."
Yun's mother tapped her daughter's forehead: "This is all I'm good at. If your father and I didn't have some skills, how would we have been able to support you two? But when it comes to language, your sister is most like me. You're all grown up now, and I haven't found anything about you that resembles your father and me."
"Mom, I also speak several languages, just not as many as my sister. These languages are enough for me, and I'm also very good at drawing and dancing."
"Your father does have some talent in painting."
Yun Shudai smiled. Her father studied ancient artifacts, so he was very good at landscape painting and also had excellent calligraphy skills.
Her illustrations are unrelated to her father's landscape paintings, but they are still within the same system.
