When Qian Jiefang saw Ge Yuqiu return early in the morning, he thought she had come back to live a good life with him. Unexpectedly, she started talking about Gu Yunduan and Zhao Hong as soon as she entered the door.
“Qian Jiefang, how do you know it’s not true? Zhao Hong told me this herself, it can’t be false.”
"Alright, you don't need to get involved in this anymore."
Ge Yuqiu then realized that she hadn't seen Zhou Hongfang and her son when she returned, and asked Qian Jiefang about it.
"They're gone?"
"No, Erdanzi is still my son. I've settled them in a nearby village."
Upon hearing this, Ge Yuqiu was furious again. She would not let Erdanzi stay; she could not accept someone else's child.
Everyone likes Ye Zhaozhao's classes, so the principal decided to hold an open class for all teachers to attend and learn from Ye Zhaozhao's teaching methods.
At noon, while everyone was resting in the office, Jiang Yuzhen noticed that Ye Zhaozhao was getting along well with everyone and deliberately said something to them.
"These are all lectures, and everyone has their own way of doing things. What's there to learn from this? If it really becomes a single method, students would be tired of it by now."
"Jiang Yuzhen, don't think I don't know that no one likes your class. The students are all clamoring to change teachers."
Xie Jianing exposed Jiang Yuzhen without hesitation, which made Jiang Yuzhen furious. Tang Yi saw that they were about to start arguing, so she quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Xiao Jiang, the principal is doing this for the students' sake. As teachers, we naturally need to improve as well. Only when we improve can we teach children well."
Tang Yi was the oldest in the office, and Jiang Yuzhen, wanting to give her face, didn't say anything more. Ye Zhaozhao glanced at her, thinking, "There will be a next time."
She won't hold back.
The afternoon open class was a great success. Many teachers came to learn from Ye Zhaozhao after hearing her lecture, and Ye Zhaozhao shared everything she knew with everyone without reservation.
To get students to enjoy learning, you have to make them interested. Everyone suddenly realized why they hadn't thought of that before.
Ye Zhaozhao also knew that the teachers preferred to use traditional teaching methods at this time. Only Jiang Yuzhen pouted in dissatisfaction after she left.
Xie Jianing then came closer.
"Zhaozhao, ignore her."
"Sister Jia Ning, did Jiang Yuzhen only graduate from junior high school?"
Ye Zhaozhao overheard this by chance. She remembered Xie Jianing saying that the requirement for hiring teachers was a high school diploma, and Xie Jianing told her this when she asked.
"Jiang Yuzhen is the principal's daughter."
That makes sense. Ye Zhaozhao thought that there is indeed such a thing as "going through the back door" in every era. No wonder Jiang Yuzhen is so arrogant.
Within days, rumors were circulating in the family compound that Gu Yunduan was a heartless man who had ruined Zhao Hong's life. Just as Ye Zhaozhao was trying to figure out a way to clear up the rumors...
Gu Yunduan returned from her mission, bringing with her a large package.
"Wife, I bought you some things while passing through Kyoto this time."
Ye Zhaozhao opened the package and found milk powder, a scarf, clothes, shoes, snacks, and Gu Yunduan had also bought her a set of skincare products.
"Gu Yunduan, you've got a good heart."
Upon hearing Ye Zhaozhao's tone, Gu Yunduan quickly asked her what was wrong, and she told her about Zhao Hong.
"Gu Yunduan, have you written to Zhao Hong?"
"I didn't, honey, I really didn't."
Ye Zhaozhao laughed. He was just teasing him. Seeing Ye Zhaozhao laugh, Gu Yunduan finally felt relieved. He had thought his wife was really angry.
"Honey, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."
"Okay, I believe you."
"Honey, I miss you. Let's go back to Kyoto together next time I have a vacation?"
Gu Yunduan wanted to take her to Kyoto to see the outside world. Ye Zhaozhao nodded. She hadn't met Gu Yunduan's parents yet.
"good."
Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is destined to be a sleepless night for the two.
The next day, Ye Zhaozhao got up, clutching her back. Luckily, she didn't have to go to work that day; Gu Yunduan had gone out and left her some food.
In the military region office, Division Commander Zhu stared at Gu Yunduan.
“Gu Yunduan, Zhao Hong is now insisting that you wrote the letter to her. This not only concerns your personal reputation but also damages the reputation of soldiers. You must investigate this matter thoroughly for me.”
"Okay, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."
"You did a good job on this mission. Here's a three-day holiday for you. Take your wife out for a good time."
"Thank you, sir."
After receiving his mission reward, Gu Yunduan couldn't wait to get home, but his wife wasn't there. Ye Zhaozhao had been called away by Sun Xiuhua to chat with everyone.
"Haven't seen Xu Pandi in a long time?"
Xu Pandi was the most talkative of the military wives, and everyone was quite unaccustomed to her absence. Chen Sufen called everyone together.
It's obvious he has something to say.
"I heard that Hu Ziqiang ran away with that widow, but they were caught and sent to a farm."
"This widow is really shrewd."
"I heard she's pregnant, and it's Hu Ziqiang's child."
People are unsure whether it's Hu Ziqiang or not, because this widow has two old lovers in the village, and the reason she approached Hu Ziqiang this time is because he is a battalion commander.
"Where's Xu Pandi? And what about Ya Dan and Ya Ya?"
“I heard from Xu Pandi that they were going to send Ya Dan and Ya Ya to be adopted as child brides.”
"What?"
Everyone felt that Xu Pandi had gone too far. The two children were innocent, but there was nothing anyone could do to help them. Given the current circumstances, no family would dare to adopt someone else's children.
My own child isn't even getting enough to eat.
...
"Ya Dan, what do we do? That woman is going to sell us?"
Ya Dan was trying to figure out a way to prevent them from being sold. Xu Pandi was also in a state of confusion. The house they were currently living in belonged to the military region, and the military region was now taking it back, so she had to move out.
But if she moved out, she would have nowhere to go but back to her hometown. No, she couldn't go back to her hometown. With a heavy heart, she thought of another way.
After Gu Yunduan told Ye Zhaozhao that she had a three-day holiday, Ye Zhaozhao asked Xie Jianing to cover her classes for two days. She didn't have many classes each day, two in the morning and two in the afternoon.
Xie Jianing readily agreed, and the two planned to go to the city. Gu Yunduan first took her to the county town, and then the two of them took the bus.
The shuttle buses of that era were particularly dilapidated, but there were still quite a few people on board. Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan boarded the bus and bought tickets.
"Honey, we're going to stay at the guesthouse for one night and will come back tomorrow."
Gu Yunduan was so thoughtful that Ye Zhaozhao listened to him in everything.
On the other side, Ye Qianxue looked at the empty rice jar with worry. There was no food left in the house, so she took some money to the village to exchange for food.
These days, she doesn't dare to switch to refined grains, so she eats coarse grains. The three children don't want to eat coarse grains, and they always make a fuss at mealtimes.
Suddenly, Ye Qianxue remembered something and couldn't wait to go home, but when she saw the two people sitting at the door, she couldn't laugh anymore.
Upon seeing Ye Qianxue, the two men rushed forward and grabbed her.
