Marriage is something that can only be done slowly. If she doesn't get married, everyone will treat her as a widow and fear that she has seduced someone else's husband.
She wasn't like Widow Shen, and naturally she wouldn't be as shameless as Widow Shen, seducing other women's husbands and destroying other women's families.
Children always yearn for their fathers. Ge Chenglan was afraid that after raising her child with great difficulty, Deng Shouquan would come back and coax the child away, abandoning her as the mother. So, Ge Chenglan would send the child to Deng Shouquan and Widow Shen's house for meals every few days. After being sent back by Deng Shouquan many times, the child came to understand Deng Shouquan's character and stopped thinking about such a father.
It's no wonder Ge Chenglan has such concerns, because many children will indeed abandon their parents who have worked hard to raise them and instead run into the arms of their wealthy fathers.
But they don't think about why the father has money but the mother doesn't. It's because the mother used all her money to raise and educate them. It's not that the mother didn't have money, it's just that she spent it all on them.
Deng Shouquan's attitude towards his two children was also despicable. He hurt his wife and children for the sake of a widow. Hopefully, he won't regret it when he has no one to take care of him in his old age.
Widow Shen has no desire to get married or be tied to anyone for life. She could have had a whole forest of her own, but now she has to hang herself on Deng Shouquan's tree. How can she be willing to accept this?
The widow Shen, who disliked Deng Shouquan in the first place, made a fuss with him every day. However, Deng Shouquan himself knew that if he got divorced again, he would probably be a bachelor for the rest of his life. So, Deng Shouquan let the widow Shen make a fuss. Anyway, with the marriage certificate, the widow Shen couldn't cause any trouble.
As for wanting to find other men, he's living a good life now and won't allow anyone to cheat on him.
Another issue is that Qian Chunxing is pregnant. The Qian family built a thatched house for them, and the two of them live on their own outside. If they were living with the Qian family, they would definitely feel sorry for Qian Chunxing's pregnancy and let her do easier work, or even let her stay at home without having to work.
However, Li Wei felt that this would result in too few work points, and his work points alone could not support a family of three, so Qian Chunxing had to go out to work even when she was pregnant.
On the contrary, Li Wei taught children at the school and easily earned work points, but he didn't care about his pregnant wife.
This also made more people realize that Li Wei snatched Qian Chunxing from Zhao Mingzhu in order to become a teacher at Fengshou Elementary School.
Jiang Mo, Cheng Yu, Gu Xiangbei, Ling Xiao, Li Wei, and Wang Ting are six teachers at Fengshou Elementary School. They usually teach students at the school, but during the busy farming season, the whole school is closed and everyone has to participate in the farming work.
The newly arrived educated youth, upon learning that these individuals were all primary school teachers, felt a deep sense of envy, though they didn't show it outwardly.
Because teachers only need to work during the busy farming season; otherwise, they teach at school and don't have to endure wind and sun.
Moreover, they are all educated youths from the city, either junior high school graduates or high school graduates. Are they not qualified to be primary school teachers?
However, since everyone is eating in the cafeteria now, even if they have thoughts in their minds, they don't say them out loud.
After a day's work, when they returned to the dormitory at night, those who had never done farm work felt their arms were so sore that they felt like they could hardly lift them. After washing up, they quickly lay down.
Thinking about becoming a teacher, Yang Li couldn't help but say, "I never thought that Jiang Mo, Cheng Yu, and Gu Xiangbei, those three boys, could become teachers. Does that mean we can become teachers too?"
If I become a teacher, my status will be even more prestigious, and I'll meet different people. Who knows, I might even meet a man who is better than Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun!
Although Xia Minglei and Lu Xiaoyun are both quite good catches, people naturally gravitate towards higher positions, and who wouldn't want to meet a man with even better prospects?
Xu Mengying became interested. "How about we ask Captain Qian another day? I heard there are two other teachers from the village. Are the villagers as educated as us?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her hands, and under the dim light, looking at the red marks on her hands, she pouted in grievance.
If only I could become a teacher at the school, then I would have more time to spend with Huai'an, and they could be together sooner.
There were only four girls in the dormitory. They were all quiet, and even if they spoke in hushed tones, everyone could hear them. Wang Xinru lay on her bunk, listening quietly to their conversation without saying a word herself.
Xu Mengying turned to face Zuo Qiuyi and asked curiously, "Zuo Qiuyi, why are you asking about Wenxi as soon as you arrive in the countryside? What? Did you know Wenxi before?"
"No, no," Zuo Qiuyi denied guiltily. "I'm just envious of Wenxi. Her family gave her all the rural allowance, and she's so generous. She rented a whole room. I'm so envious that she can live alone!"
"So, you don't like us and don't want to live with us?" Xu Mengying stared at Zuo Qiuyi, her gaze becoming deep.
"No, that's not it." Zuo Qiuyi hurriedly shook her head. "I'm just worried that more educated youth will come at the end of the year, and there won't be enough room. I heard that Wenxi and her group came around the end of the year, so there might be more educated youth going to the countryside at the end of this year!"
Feeling she couldn't win an argument with Xu Mengying, Zuo Qiuyi turned her back to everyone.
Xu Mengying pursed her lips and didn't say anything more.
For several days in a row, there was fish and snails served at noon and in the evening. Everyone was getting a little tired of it, but if they wanted to change things up, they would need money. Moreover, there were so many people in the village, and even the village leaders were reluctant to spend the money to buy meat for everyone.
That day, as soon as Wen Xi arrived at the cafeteria, she saw the accountant running towards her, waving and calling Wen Xi's name as she ran, "Wen Xi, Wen Xi..."
Wenxi looked at the accountant with some surprise and confusion.
The accountant said, "Captain Qian asked me to allocate five yuan to you to see if you can buy some bones to make soup for everyone to change their taste. If you can buy offal, that would be fine too, but it depends on what you want."
The accountant couldn't help but swallow as she spoke, mainly because the braised dishes that Wenxi Shuangqiang made for everyone were really delicious. Just thinking about them now makes her mouth water.
"Oh, okay, thank you Captain Qian, and thank you Accountant Uncle for bringing it to me." Wen Xi hurriedly took the five yuan. Five yuan could buy dozens of kilograms of pig offal, which was indeed enough for everyone to have a meal.
The accountant handed the ledger to Wenxi and asked her to sign it for confirmation. After all, these records needed to be kept, and if they weren't clearly recorded, the inventory wouldn't match up.
