Without much thought, Qin Zhenzhen said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know what to do. Of course, I'll only sell to people I know and trust. I won't blindly look for clients; I must ensure my own safety first."
"Okay, I have twenty yuan here. How much do you want to take first?"
"Give me three pieces first, and I'll get the rest from you after I sell them all."
"Okay. But this is a secret between you and me. You can't even tell your cousin, otherwise, I'm afraid he'll stop letting me do it, understand?"
"I understand, sister-in-law. I will keep it a secret."
"OK."
Luo Jingyan gave her three watches at the time, and said that if Qin Zhenzhen was more capable, she would give her more later.
Back at the educated youth settlement, that evening she used the seafood in her spatial storage to make seafood porridge. She and Luo Changtian ate some, and she also sent some to the cowshed.
The cats in the space also got to eat lobsters.
As the weather gradually warms up, people gradually take off their thick cotton-padded coats and put on thin padded jackets. They no longer need to wear thick scarves around their necks, and the women are showing off their beautiful necks.
Luo Jingyan inevitably ran into Zhuang Feifei frequently while staying at the educated youth compound. Pang Hu, who could see outside from Luo Jingyan's spatial dimension, discovered something strange and immediately reported it to Luo Jingyan.
"Master, I've noticed that the mole on Zhuang Feifei's collarbone seems to have gotten bigger."
"oh?"
Luo Jingyan had only seen Zhuang Feifei's mole above her collarbone when she rode in the oxcart last time. The mole was bright red and very alluring. Now, looking at it again after only a day or two, she couldn't see anything.
"Fat Tiger, do you think it might be related to the number of times Li Hongying plundered her space? Every time Li Hongying plundered her space, the mole would get bigger?"
"That's very likely the case."
Luo Jingyan continued, "If Li Hongying plunders her space five times, what will happen to that mole?" Will it revert to the shape of a necklace and be bound to her again by blood? Or will it be transferred to Li Hongying along with the space?
Thinking this, she said to the two cats, "From now on, you must pay close attention to the changes in the red mole on Zhuang Feifei's collarbone. If you notice any changes, you must tell me immediately."
"Understood, Master."
It was that time of year again when the village recommended students for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University. As soon as the news was released, the village and the educated youth settlement seemed to be in an uproar.
The villagers were speculating that the spot for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University recommendation might go to the son of a village cadre or a poor peasant who had performed exceptionally well.
After graduating from the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University, students were guaranteed a job by the state—a secure, stable position. Their treatment was better than that of ordinary workers, so many people coveted this opportunity.
The educated youth were all cultured young people from the city, much better than the peasants in the village who hadn't had much schooling. Naturally, they felt they were more suited to attend the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University.
But they were, after all, outsiders. The decision of who went to the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was made by the village leaders. These leaders usually favored their own people and tried every means to reserve the spots for their own people. Unless the supervision from above was strong enough, they would not treat the villagers and the educated youth equally.
Fortunately, there were only two spots available this time, and one of them was taken by the educated youth. Almost every educated youth wanted to get this spot.
Furthermore, attending the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University was equivalent to returning to the city, so this quota was far more useful and important than the quota for returning to the city.
Meng Bin lost his eligibility to return to the city because of Chen Zhiyu's report last time. He already had a stain on his record, so naturally he wouldn't be recommended for the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University this time. He was well aware of this. He looked indifferent and watched others fight for this spot. It would be better if they fought to the death and ended up with blood on their heads. That would be more interesting to watch.
Apart from Zhao Jun, all the other male educated youths were eager to try.
But Zhao Wensong was the most confident of all.
Because Lai Chun Chun Cao had already agreed that as long as he married her, her father would help him get this spot.
The village secretary is the most authoritative person in the village, and he never goes back on his word once he has made a promise.
As for the female educated youth, Lin Shanshan knew that her identity was problematic, so she had no intention of getting a spot or even registering.
Zhuang Feifei did want to go back to the city. She didn't want to go home, but she wanted to experience city life and escape the hardships of farm work and the exposure to the elements in the countryside. She planned to make good use of this opportunity.
She was among the last batch of educated youth to arrive here. In terms of seniority, she couldn't compare to the older educated youth, but she had access to resources, supplies, and money. She could easily pull strings.
Jiang Manyue didn't have much hope for herself. She came to Luo Jingyan and asked, "Jingyan, the village said there are recommendation slots for the Workers-Peasants-Soldiers University. Have you applied?"
Luo Jingyan didn't pay much attention to this because she had no intention of leaving in the short term. In addition, given her special identity, if the organization found out, they probably wouldn't give her the chance.
"I did not register."
“I want to apply, but I don’t think there’s any hope. Just like the last time with the quota for returning to the city, we newcomers can only dream about it.”
In the evening, Zhuang Feifei took a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and an envelope containing ten large bills to Secretary Lai's house.
When Secretary Lai saw what she gave him and the banknotes, it would be a lie to say he wasn't tempted. However, he had already promised Lai Chunhua and Zhao Wensong that the spot was reserved for Zhao Wensong, and Zhao Wensong had also agreed to give Lai Chuncao a dowry of one hundred yuan. They were going to get their marriage certificate tomorrow.
