After Huo Min left, Yun Ningyan asked Huo Junshan with a smile, "You graduated from high school, why don't you want to be a teacher? Ten work points a day, and it's easy."
Huo Junshan didn't care: "I still want to make money, I don't want to be a teacher. There are plenty of people who want to be teachers! If you're not going, what would I do?"
Yun Ningyan laughed and leaned into Huo Junshan's arms. Huo Junshan held her with both hands, letting her lie directly in his arms.
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Huo Junshan, I want to eat chestnut stewed chicken tonight. Can you make it for me?"
Huo Junshan smiled and pulled her into his arms: "Okay, we'll do it tonight."
The two went back to their room to study. They spent their days studying and studying, and rarely went to the front to eat.
So during this period, Huo Changlan and his mother didn't cause any trouble.
night.
She didn't get to eat the chestnut stewed chicken.
Huo Min came again in the afternoon.
She said, "Third sister-in-law, third brother, my father said you should come over for dinner tonight. My mother made braised pork and chicken soup."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Okay, I understand! I'll be there in a bit."
Yun Ningyan rummaged through her spatial storage and found a piece of pork rib and a fish.
He had Huo Junshan carry it, and they walked together toward the brigade leader's house.
When they arrived at the brigade leader's house, Aunt Guihua was busy in the kitchen with her two daughters-in-law.
Food was already laid out on the kang (a heated brick bed) inside the house, and it smelled delicious.
There was another table inside the house. There were many people in the family, including children, so there were two tables for meals.
Aunt Guihua said with a smile, "Hurry up and get started, it's almost done!"
The brigade leader had already gotten into bed. He called to his eldest son, Huo Guodong, "Guodong, go get some wine! Tonight, our third son will have a few drinks with us."
Huo Guodong smiled and went to get the wine.
The wine was brewed by his mother herself, and it had a low alcohol content.
The brigade leader's grandchildren did not sit on the kang (a heated brick bed); they ate at a small table with several dishes on it.
Yun Ningyan was seated next to Huo Junshan.
Aunt Guihua kept piling food onto Yun Ningyan's plate, and soon her bowl was piled high with food.
The braised pork that Aunt Guihua put on her plate had fatty parts, and she frowned when she saw the fatty parts.
Without saying a word, Huo Junshan put all the braised pork from her bowl into his own, ate all the fatty parts, and then returned the lean parts to Yun Ningyan.
Aunt Guihua and her two daughters-in-law couldn't help but laugh when they saw it.
Aunt Guihua joked, "Third brother didn't seem like the type to dote on his wife at all, but look at him, he really does!"
Huo Junshan's expression remained normal, but his rosy cheeks were slightly flushed, a blush of embarrassment.
Huo Junshan served her a bowl of chicken soup, along with two pieces of chicken thigh meat: "Eat up, I'll serve you more when you're done."
Both of the sisters-in-law looked at the young couple with envy.
Aunt Guihua and the brigade leader were all smiles. The brigade leader opened the wine, and Huo Guodong immediately took it. Several men poured themselves a large glass of wine.
They didn't have any small wine glasses, so Aunt Guihua washed a few drinking glasses and used them directly.
A full glass of wine.
Yun Ningyan frowned as she looked at him: "Huo Junshan, can you finish drinking? Don't get drunk!"
Huo Junshan smiled. He actually had a good alcohol tolerance and had never been truly drunk, but he had never seriously drunk alcohol either.
The captain waved his hand: "Ningning, the third brother can drink a lot, don't worry."
Yun Ningyan looked at Huo Junshan with suspicion: You can drink a lot?
Huo Junshan touched his nose: "No, I've only drunk a few times!"
Yun Ningyan: "Go ahead and drink, but I won't be able to handle you if you drink too much!"
They all laughed and said, "Third brother, since Ningning has spoken, stop looking at her and hurry up and drink!"
Yun Ningyan lowered her head and ate her food, no longer looking at Huo Junshan, otherwise these people would never stop.
After the men had a few sips of wine, the captain started to get down to business.
"Third brother, the brigade is planning to build a primary school. The commune has already approved the application. Do you two want to be teachers?"
Yun Ningyan shook her head: "I won't do it, I don't have time!"
Huo Junshan shook his head and chuckled: "Ningning doesn't want to be a teacher, and neither do I! You can let me build houses, but I think many people would want to be teachers."
The brigade leader put down his chopsticks and said, "All those educated youth want to do it, but right now only we know the news."
Huo Guodong said enviously, "I regret not going to high school back then. Otherwise, I would have become a teacher. Being a teacher is so comfortable. You don't have to work in the fields. Third brother, you have the aptitude, why don't you want to be one?"
The brigade leader said, "Those educated youth are certainly good, but our brigade doesn't have many high school graduates. If we make all of them teachers, what will happen to the village when they return to the city?"
Yun Ningyan thought for a moment and then asked, "Captain, how many teachers do we need in total?"
The team leader thought for a moment and said, "Two teachers will do. One will teach the older students, and the other will teach the basics. We can add more teachers depending on the students' learning progress."
Yun Ningyan: I thought you'd need a few, but it turns out you only need two.
It's not that she's unwilling to be a teacher for the children, but she wants to focus on developing her career and continuing her studies. Becoming a teacher would take up a lot of her time.
The captain waved his hand: "That's enough for now. We'll have to see the instructions from above later! But when the school is built, you'll have to come and help, Third Brother."
The men chatted and laughed, and soon finished a bowl of wine. Huo Guodong took out more wine and poured wine for everyone.
Huo Junshan glanced at Yun Ningyan, who was eating with her head down, not at all worried that he had drunk too much.
He quietly touched Yun Ningyan's arm on the ground. Yun Ningyan looked up at him, her big eyes blinking.
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "I'll have another bowl, you eat your food!"
Yun Ningyan nodded: "Go ahead and drink, I'm not full yet!"
Yun Ningyan ate half a pancake, then ate it with the other dishes. Aunt Guihua had prepared a very generous spread of food: braised pork, chicken soup, scrambled eggs, and a stew of eggplant, green beans, and potatoes.
After Yun Ningyan had eaten and drunk her fill, Huo Min led her to Huo Min's room.
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Your room is very clean. How's your studies going lately?"
Huo Min nodded: "Not bad, but I learn slowly."
Yun Ningyan was in Huo Min's room, so she picked up a book to pass the time.
She was getting sleepy while watching and started to doze off.
Huo Junshan called out to her from outside, "Yanyan, it's time to go back!"
Yun Ningyan woke up with a start, rubbing her eyes: "Okay, coming!"
Yun Ningyan opened the door and went out. Huo Junshan's face was a little red, obviously he had drunk a bit too much!
Yun Ningyan asked doubtfully, "Can you walk by yourself?"
Huo Junshan grinned foolishly and reached out to ruffle Yun Ningyan's hair, turning her neatly braided hair into a mess.
Yun Ningyan pouted: "You still say you can drink? I bet you're just drunk."
Can someone be this silly and foolish when they're not drunk?
Huo Junshan took her hand: "Wife, let's go home!"
