Chapter 242



Having lived in the countryside for so many years, she knows the men there all too well. They are uneducated, ignorant, unreasonable, proud of beating their wives, and chauvinistic. They think they are the boss after earning a few work points and come home, and they won't even bother to pick up a fallen broom.

Living with such a cold and heartless man is exhausting. He might even think she's sleeping in and have to drag her out of bed to do chores!

Everyone waited outside for a while until the teacher exam ended. All the test takers came out of the school, and since the results wouldn't be out until the afternoon, everyone went home.

Everyone was eager to know the result, and some people came straight over after eating. Wenxi wasn't in such a hurry because she knew that teachers in the city also needed to eat.

It was almost time when Wenxi went out. She met Lin Yiwan in the village, and the two walked to the school together. When they arrived at the school, they saw that the grades had been posted on the bulletin board.

Since Wenxi and the others didn't participate, only a few former educated youths were qualified to take the teacher exam. Gu Xiangbei, Cheng Yu, and Jiang Mo passed the exam, all three of them being men.

On the other side of the villagers were two women from the village. One of them was Ling Xiao, whose crush had been stolen by Qian Chunxing. Ling Xiao was quite pretty, though her skin wasn't as fair, but she was much prettier than Qian Chunxing. I don't know what Zhao Mingzhu was thinking. The other one was Li Wei.

Upon seeing Li Wei's name, Wen Xi was somewhat surprised, "How could it be Li Wei?"

"I heard that Li Wei and Qian Chunxing have already registered their marriage, so he participated as a villager," Lin Yiwan explained.

Wen Xi suddenly realized, "So Li Wei only seduced Qian Chunxing in order to become a teacher, and Qian Chunxing thought Li Wei really liked her, so she was willing to break off her engagement to be with Li Wei?"

Because only the top three students are admitted based on their exam scores, Li Wei's score wouldn't have placed him in the top three among the educated youth, but it would have placed him in the third among the villagers.

Wenxi really didn't know whether it was good or bad to have such a cowardly, weak, and scheming person as a teacher. She hoped that the children wouldn't be taught to be like him.

When the results came out, naturally some were happy and some were sad, but there was nothing that could be done. Admissions were based on scores, so if you weren't as good as others, you shouldn't blame them.

Although there was no salary for working as a primary school teacher in the brigade, there were work points. Moreover, being a teacher was much easier than working in the fields, and you didn't have to be in the sun.

"The teacher selection has been finalized. From now on, Jiang Mo, Cheng Yu, Gu Xiangbei, Ling Xiao, Li Wei, and Wang Ting will be the teachers at Fengshou Elementary School. Wang Ting is the oldest among you, so she will temporarily serve as the vice principal to assist me in the school's work. Starting tomorrow, you will all officially begin your duties. There aren't many days left before the start of school. Before school starts, please go to other brigades to promote Fengshou Elementary School and try to recruit more students..."

Wen Xi left after learning who the teacher was. In any case, it wouldn't affect her who the teacher was. However, Qian Chunxing, upon learning that Ling Xiao had passed the teacher's exam and would be working with Li Wei, kept her eyes fixed on Ling Xiao, her eyes filled with malice.

If she had known that so many outstanding male educated youths would be coming to the team, she would have rushed to confess her feelings to Zhao Mingzhu back then and let Ling Xiao be with Zhao Mingzhu. She would probably be at home serving her in-laws and raising her children by now, and she wouldn't have had the opportunity to become a teacher.

Ling Xiao's family was overjoyed to learn that she had been accepted into the teaching profession. Previously, because of Qian Chunxing's affair, people knew that Ling Xiao had liked Zhao Mingzhu, which had somewhat affected her reputation.

But now that Ling Xiao has become a teacher, it will be easier to arrange marriages in the future.

They genuinely despise Qian Chunxing. Knowing full well that Ling Xiao likes Zhao Mingzhu, she deliberately snatched him away first. Now that she doesn't want him anymore, she's pushing Ling Xiao forward again.

Even if Zhao Mingzhu knelt before them now, they would not agree to Ling Xiao being with him. Although Qian Chunxing did not truly like Zhao Mingzhu, Zhao Mingzhu definitely liked Qian Chunxing, otherwise why would they be engaged?

Since you like Qian Chunxing, just keep liking her. Don't bother others, and besides, he's not good enough for Ling Xiao.

That noon, Wen Xi suddenly received a letter and a package. The letter was from He Chen'an, and she knew it was the same package without even looking at it. She wasn't sure who had sent it.

Wenxi returned home, got some scissors, and opened the package. It was sent by Jin Changfeng and contained mountain products from Northeast China, including chestnuts, hazelnuts, wild walnuts, dried mushrooms, and dried wild vegetables.

The envelope contained a letter, money, and tickets.

In his letter, Jin Changfeng said that he dreamed of her one night, but no matter how he called her, she ignored him, as if she didn't recognize him.

Looking at the date he described in the letter, Wenxi remembered that she had inexplicably returned to the night seven years ago when she saved Old Qi. At that time, they really didn't know each other. If she had directly called out Jin Changfeng's name, she would probably have been arrested as a spy!

There are some things that are simply incomprehensible. Anyway, the system tells her where to save people, and she goes there to save people. Even if she goes to ancient times one day, it shouldn't be strange!

Wen Xi stored the things Jin Changfeng sent her into the system warehouse, and then began to pack the things to send to Jin Changfeng. Jin Changfeng was currently in the Northeast, where it seemed that winter would begin in September or October, meaning that the temperature there should not be very high, so there shouldn't be any problems sending the things there.

So Wenxi packed two jars each of pickled cucumbers, pickled watermelon rinds, pickled garlic, pickled cowpeas, and spicy dried radish. There must be more than just him at Jin Changfeng's place; he couldn't let others watch him eat, could he?

Or if someone else takes it from him, he won't get much to eat. It's better to send him more so that even if he shares some with others, he can still have a lot left over.

Wenxi packed up the items that needed to be mailed and planned to go to the post office tomorrow to send them.

Only then did Wen Xi begin to read He Chen'an's letters. The contents of the letters were all pretty much the same, with nothing new to say, as if they were just reports on his life.

Since the reply had already been sent back by the postman, Wenxi wasn't in a hurry to write a reply, as she needed to prepare lunch.

Of course, apart from the rice being freshly cooked, all the dishes were brought out from the system's kitchen. Today, they served stir-fried lotus root with green peppers, stir-fried pork liver with onions, braised eggplant, and tomato and egg soup.

With both meat and vegetables, three dishes and a soup, this is truly a delightful life.

The next morning, as dawn broke, Wenxi walked along the country road with her backpack on. The morning breeze blew in her face, carrying a refreshing fragrance, which was very pleasant.
