“Every female educated youth wanted to be a substitute teacher.”
Mu Qiuyue smiled and said, "You haven't even come back yet, and some female educated youths have already come to ask who you're planning to give your substitute teaching positions to."
"It's no use them asking you."
Peng Shiyu covered her mouth and laughed, "If someone is 'sensible' enough to go to the village chief, maybe there's still a chance."
"There are plenty of smart people; it just depends on who has the luck to secure this spot."
Lin Jingyu added, "Besides, everyone here knows each other, so it won't affect you who takes over the classes."
"Yeah, it's all the same, it doesn't matter who it is, we're all in class anyway."
Mu Qiuyue looked at the two people in front of her and said, "If you go back to the county town to study, it will be difficult for us to meet again."
"You should take some time to brush up on your high school knowledge."
Lin Jingyu reminded her, "The same goes for the educated youth. You should study more advanced courses in the next two years. When the college entrance examination is reinstated, we can all take it together."
"As long as you get into university, you can leave this Shuibu Village and won't be trapped here for the rest of your lives."
"I didn't expect you to say that too."
Mu Qiuyue smiled and said, "Shujue told me about this. Don't worry, we will take time to study the textbooks every night. Luckily, Shujue found us a few sets of high school textbooks, otherwise we wouldn't be able to study them even if we wanted to."
"She likes to go to the black market; it's easier to get these things there."
Lin Jingyu added, "You should save up some money over the next few years. When you get into university, you'll need to move and you'll definitely need a lot of money."
It's often said that having money in hand gives you peace of mind; having money on hand can solve many problems.
"Yes, Qiuyue, you have a child too."
Peng Shiyu added, "When you settle down, you'll definitely need a lot of money. It's good to save up some money now so you can make arrangements later."
"I will."
Mu Qiuyue couldn't help but laugh, "But it's not certain whether we can get into university yet, isn't it too early to make plans now?"
"Not early."
Lin Jingyu picked up the sunflower seeds on the table and said while cracking them open, "Opportunity favors the prepared mind. The country cannot be without college students. The resumption of the college entrance examination is only a matter of time."
"We're determined to go to university and forge our own path; preparing in advance will definitely make things easier for us than for others."
"You're right."
Mu Qiuyue nodded in agreement, "Wang Hongliang also said that he hopes the college entrance examination can be resumed as soon as possible. He wants to leave Shuibu Village as soon as possible because the days here are too unbearable."
"How difficult it is to get through."
Peng Shiyu started cracking sunflower seeds, a look of curiosity on her face. "Isn't he doing pretty well? He has his own house to live in. Countless people envy him. What's he bothered about?"
"Of course it's because I can't find a suitable partner."
Mu Qiuyue laughed so hard her eyes disappeared. "You have no idea how much he wants to find a partner, but he doesn't like the girls in his village, and he doesn't like the female educated youth in the educated youth compound either."
They always say he's twenty-three or twenty-four and still can't find a wife, that his life is miserable.
Upon hearing this, Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu couldn't help but laugh.
"Perhaps his standards are too high."
Peng Shiyu thought of how he had once pursued her, and found it both amusing and interesting. "Such a beautiful girl, how come he couldn't find someone he liked?"
"How many of them are truly beautiful?"
Mu Qiuyue gently shook her head, "If he takes a closer look at the other person's family background and character, it's not surprising that he can't find a suitable one."
He's decided to hold off on finding a partner for now and wait until he goes to university to find someone he likes.
"His plan is acceptable."
Peng Shiyu then asked, "By the way, what about Yu and Zhu, the educated youth? They're not young anymore, are they? I haven't heard anything about them planning to get married?"
"They had the same plans as Wang, the educated youth: to go to university or find a way back to the city; they didn't intend to find partners here."
"It's good. I don't have anyone I like, and I don't treat my feelings half-heartedly."
"Yes, Zhenhua said they are quite rational people and wouldn't do anything to drag themselves down."
...
They were eating melons and chatting here.
Everyone in Shuibu Village knew that they were going to move away.
No.
Someone had their eye on their yard.
Several educated youths visited the house together.
“Lin, Peng, you’re both leaving, why don’t you sell the courtyard to us?”
"I heard you all bought houses in the county town, so there's no use for the houses here."
“Lin, Peng, if you leave this little courtyard uninhabited, it will easily fall into disrepair. Why don’t you rent it to us?”
...
They started talking all at once.
Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu were completely baffled.
I never imagined that someone would have their eyes on my yard.
"You're not buying, you're renting our yard?"
Peng Shiyu finally saw through their plan, feeling both angry and amused. "We won't rent out our courtyard. If you can afford the price, it's fine to sell it to you."
"You can rent it out first."
Duan Yaoyao smiled and said, "We definitely don't have that much money to buy it. Let's rent your yard first, and we can buy it later when we have the money."
Everyone knows that a house won't deteriorate easily if someone lives in it. We're essentially helping you look after the house; it's a win-win situation, don't you think?
“No rent.”
Peng Shiyu was too lazy to argue with them. "Those who are interested in buying, name your price. If we think it's reasonable, we'll sell it to you. If you can't afford the price, don't make fun of us here. Please go back."
“Peng Zhiqing, there’s no point in you saying that.”
Xu Jiaolan glanced at Lin Jingyu and said, "We educated youth who went to the countryside should help each other. We are indeed not as capable as you to get into high school and study in the county town."
