In the evening, there were no other activities at the educated youth site, so everyone went to bed after dinner.
Chi Junjie listened to the snoring of everyone around him, and then confirmed that Chi Junshu beside him was also asleep. Then he quietly got up and walked over to wake up Qi Yuan.
When Qi Yuan opened his eyes and saw Chi Junjie, he thought he was going to launch a sneak attack, so he quickly raised his fist.
Chi Junjie said hurriedly, "Wait a minute! I'm here to help you pursue my eldest sister."
Xi Yuan put away his fist, stood up and followed Chi Junjie out.
The two of them came to the yard of the educated youth site, and Chi Junjie spoke.
"Do you really like my eldest sister?"
Yuan nodded, "I like it."
"Hey, you are sincere. My elder sister is too emotional. She doesn't have high requirements for marriage. She just wants to find a man who can be devoted to her wholeheartedly."
Qi Yuan was overjoyed, "Are you really going to help me pursue your elder sister?"
Chi Junjie looked at him warily, "Where are you from? What's your family situation like? What do your parents do?"
He couldn't help a man who was more powerful than Zhou Zixiao to be with Chi Yiyi, that would be a slap in his sister's face.
Xiyuan said, "I am from Yuecheng. I have an older sister and two older brothers. My father is an employee of a machinery factory, and my mother is an employee of a cotton mill. Although my parents' jobs have been passed on to my two brothers, my family has said that they will not give up on me."
Chi Junjie nodded with great satisfaction. It was a good, ordinary family. This family was far from being comparable to Zhou Zixiao.
"Tuo, don't worry, I will fully support you in pursuing my elder sister."
Chi Junjie patted Xiyuan's shoulder and went to sleep peacefully. He was still thinking that he would call tomorrow to report the news and ask his mother to give him more money as a reward.

Chi Yiyi borrowed a sewing machine from the village party secretary's home and made two pieces of clothing overnight. One was a fashionable dress she designed for Zheng Abao, and the other was a set of coarse blue cloth clothes she made for herself that would be convenient for her to wear when working in the fields.
Zheng Abao put on the dress right away. She said happily, "Sister Yiyi, you are so amazing! My mother won't make a dress for me because hers isn't as good as yours."
He Xiuzhi walked in. "Okay, girl, stop pestering your sister Yiyi to stay up late. Every day, the newly arrived educated youth will go to the fields to work. It's very hard work."
Zheng Abao said on the spot, "Mom, can I ask Dad to arrange for Sister Yiyi to be responsible for cutting pig grass with me in the future? Cutting pig grass is easy, and I can also help Sister Yiyi."
He Xiuzhi looked at Chi Yiyi and said, "Yiyi, are you willing to cut grass for pigs? Cutting grass for pigs is easy but you only get half a day's pay. If you don't have family to help you here, the half a day's pay will definitely not be enough for you to eat."
"Thank you, Auntie, for thinking of me. I can choose to pick pig grass."
Of course Chi Yiyi chose to collect grass for pigs, since she was not short of money.
He Xiuzhi smiled and said, "I'm worried too much. Director Gu also said that he would arrange an easy job for you. The easiest job here is to follow the children to collect grass for pigs. But in another week, we will have the autumn harvest here. At this time of autumn harvest, the village requires every adult to rush to the fields to harvest food. Yiyi, you must be mentally prepared."
Chi Yiyi nodded, "Don't worry, Auntie, I can do it. I will definitely follow the arrangements of the village chief when the time comes."
He Xiuzhi continued, "Your uncle has already chosen a piece of land for you to build a house. Is it the vacant lot behind our house?"
Chi Yiyi nodded, "That's naturally the best."
