"I don't know if you can go to the military academy."
Shen Susu couldn't help but worry, "If I don't pass the exam, I won't be able to be with you."
"If I don't pass the exam, I don't pass. As long as I can go to the capital, that's fine."
Yang Shujue patted her shoulder, "Don't worry, we're all in the capital, what are you afraid of?"
"I mainly want to have familiar people around me."
Shen Susu smiled and said, "But it's good that we can meet in the capital. At least it will be easier for us to see each other."
"As long as we're in the capital, it's easy for everyone to meet."
Peng Shiyu said with a smile to the people around her, "Anyway, I'll choose whichever school Jingyu chooses. I don't want to be separated from Jingyu."
"Whatever you want."
Lin Jingyu chuckled, "If you choose a school you don't like, don't blame me later."
"I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all."
Peng Shiyu said with a smile, "If I don't understand, you're here to teach me."
He spoke with an expression that said, "I'm not going to bother with you."
"I don't even know how to do it myself, how can I teach you?"
Lin Jingyu responded with one sentence, then asked, "What are your plans for the future? Do you want to go back to Beijing after filling out your college application?"
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll follow your lead."
Peng Shiyu grabbed another handful of melon seeds and said while cracking them open, "There are still more than two months until the New Year."
At least they'll get the acceptance letter for their chosen university before going back.
"Okay, no rush."
Lin Jingyu also plans to do the same, saying, "I will set off no later than after the New Year."
...
This day.
The village chief is here.
Lin Jingyu was surprised; she hadn't expected the village chief to come looking for her.
"Uncle, if there's anything you need, just send someone to tell us, and we'll come back to find you."
Lin Jingyu quickly brought him a cup of hot tea, saying, "How can I let you run around in this cold weather?"
"It's been a long time since I've seen you all."
The village chief smiled broadly, "Knowing that you're taking the college entrance exam, I'm afraid we'll never see each other again after you leave."
"Village chief, you can't say that."
Yang Shujue cheerfully picked up the conversation, "Life is sometimes very strange. Maybe we'll meet again someday."
"You're quite the talker."
The village chief was pleased with himself and said with some concern, "How did you girls do on your exams? I'm sure you all got what you wanted."
"Thank you, village chief."
Peng Shiyu responded with a smile, "We'll share the good news with you when we receive the notification."
“Okay, okay, okay!”
The village chief said "good" three times, showing that he was really happy.
Everyone chatted for a while.
Seeing that the old man didn't bring it up, Lin Jingyu simply asked, "Uncle, it's not easy for you to make this trip. I wonder what brings you here this time?"
"Yes, village chief, what do you need us for?"
Yang Shujue followed up with a question, and Peng Shiyu was also curious, "Village chief, has something happened in the village again?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
The village chief waved his hand, "I came to you mainly to ask what you plan to do with the courtyards in your village."
"The courtyard in the village?"
Lin Jingyu raised an eyebrow slightly and couldn't help but ask, "Village Chief, is someone else eyeing our yard and wanting to buy it?"
"Someone did want it a while ago."
The village chief didn't hide anything from them, "However, in the past six months, everyone has been trying to take the college entrance examination, get into university, and leave, so no one has come to me to buy your yards."
I know you can no longer go back to the village to live your lives. Now, even Su, the educated youth, has returned to the city.
Your yards are all well-maintained, and it would be a real shame to leave them uninhabited and in disrepair.
Yesterday, He and Yu, two educated youths, came to me. They wanted to sell the courtyard, whether the village wanted it or someone else wanted it.
I thought that if you were willing to sell the yard, I could take it over first.
"I understand what you mean, Uncle."
Lin Jingyu smiled gently, "We really can't go back, and even if we do, the chances of going back to live there in the future will be relatively few."
But I'd like to ask you, Uncle, does the private plot of land allocated to us by the village belong to us?
Compared to the yard, the private plot is also quite large.
It can be said that each person's private plot of land is large enough to build a new yard.
The plots of land allocated to each educated youth were originally wasteland, but now they can not only be used to grow food, but also as house foundations, and the area is not small.
If the village is taken back like this, they will definitely be the ones who suffer.
"You mean your private plot?"
The village chief hadn't expected their private plots to be so small. "When they were allocated to you, it was your own land to cultivate."
It would be unfair for our village committee to take back your land directly. When I get back, I'll ask if anyone is willing to buy your land. What do you think?
"OK."
Lin Jingyu didn't make things difficult and agreed, "As for the courtyard, I wonder what price Uncle would like to pay to buy it."
We still have a lot of furniture at home, all of which are ready to use.
We spent a lot of money on repairing the house and buying furniture back then.
Uncle, we can't be the ones who suffer losses, right?
"I understand what you mean."
The village chief still had a smile on his face, seemingly not surprised at all by Lin Jingyu's words, "If we buy it using the village committee's name, the price will be slightly lower."
If I were to buy it personally, I could be willing to pay a higher price…
Next.
They bargained with the village chief for a while.
