Chapter 74 Jiang Zhiqing

In the past, at this time of year, the rice seedlings in the fields were all lush and green, but this year, the crops were all wilted in the sun and looked lifeless.

Something happened in the village recently. The educated youth that Jiang Cuihua mentioned last time has already come to the village. However, only one person was arranged to come this time, and he is a young male educated youth, who is said to be only twenty years old.

Liu Yinyin had never seen him, but she heard from her mother that the male educated youth was very good-looking, with fair skin, clean clothes, and wearing a pair of glasses. He looked like a city dweller and a cultured and knowledgeable person.

When the male educated youth arrived, they caused quite a stir in the village, especially among the unmarried young women of marriageable age. Who wouldn't want to marry a city dweller, especially one who was good-looking?

That afternoon, Liu Yinyin had just returned from class and was preparing to clean up the wild vegetables the children gave her.

At this time, Jiang Cuihua came hurriedly carrying a basket of fubi leaves. It was time to pick fubi leaves again.

Because the weather this year is very abnormal, there are many more people picking rotten wood leaves on the mountain.

"Yinyin, this is terrible." Jiang Cuihua was so angry that she said to her daughter, "I just heard that Jiang Zhiqing is coming to take your job!"

The male educated youth who came to the village was named Jiang Beichuan, so the villagers simply called him Jiang Zhiqing.

Liu Yinyin raised her eyebrows and asked, "What's going on?"

"Oh!" Jiang Cuihua said as she became angry, "It's because he doesn't know how to work in the fields. He can't even tell the difference between rice seedlings and grass. He came from the city and is weak. This afternoon, when he was working, he fainted in the fields from exhaustion.

The village chief said that he would give him a lighter job.

There is no job in the village that is easier than being a teacher. I heard that the male educated youth has attended high school, so he would definitely be happy to be a teacher.

Jiang Cuihua said unhappily, "But don't worry, my dear girl. Everyone in our village will definitely support you. It doesn't matter if he is a high school student or not. As long as you don't agree, no one can take your job away."

What she said was true, the villagers really preferred Liu Yinyin as a teacher.

Well, the lady didn't ask for anything else when she gave the lesson, just half a basket of wild vegetables, which the children dug themselves.

Wild vegetables are free. If Jiang Zhiqing were to teach the class, it certainly wouldn’t be that simple.

So...even though the villagers have their own selfish motives, at least they all support the young lady.

Liu Yinyin said calmly, "If he wants it, just give it to him."

It’s not a good job and there’s no salary. Liu Yinyin does this just to stock up on wild vegetables.

Now there is enough wild vegetables at home. If someone really comes to take over her job, Liu Yinyin will have some free time.

I just hope that the children can continue to develop the habit of picking and stockpiling wild vegetables.

"How can I give it to him?" Jiang Cuihua said unhappily, "You are not incapable of teaching, why should I give it to him?"

Although the lady's job doesn't make much money, it is respectable. Now when Jiang Cuihua goes out, people smile at her.

Therefore, Jiang Cuihua must have hoped that her daughter could continue to be a teacher.

Liu Yinyin only said, "I have to take care of the children and teach at the same time, so I don't have much time to do anything else. If Jiang Zhiqing can teach the children well, there's nothing wrong with giving him the job."

Otherwise she would be so busy all day that she wouldn't have time to prepare food.

Jiang Cuihua said unwillingly, "This is too good for him."

Although there are not many students in the school, the girl has put in a lot of effort during this period and works hard every day without complaint. Jiang Cuihua sees it all in her heart.

But she thought that the village chief would not be so unkind as to let his daughter give up her job without any reason.

Thinking about this, Jiang Cuihua felt relieved. She then picked up the rotten maiden leaves and asked her daughter: "I picked a lot on the mountain. Do you want some?"

By the way, this Fubi Ye Zi is really the savior of the villagers now. The weather this year is abnormal and the villagers are very anxious.

Look, they have gone to the mountains to pick rotten wood leaves and stored them.

Liu Yinyin smiled and shook her head: "Mom, you can take it back and eat it. There are only two of us at home. It's hot, so just make some mung bean soup."

Making the magical tofu is quite troublesome, but there is no shortage of food at home now, so Liu Yinyin doesn't bother herself with it.

Jiang Cuihua knew that her daughter's family had no shortage of food, so she didn't say anything else. The fairy tofu was good, but if there was no food at home, no one would be happy to eat it every day.

Life went on as usual, and Liu Yinyin didn't care at all whether Jiang Zhiqing would come to the school to be a teacher.

So, when Liu Changquan came to see her the next day, Liu Yinyin was quite calm and poured him a cup of cool tea.

Maybe because he has had too many worries recently, Liu Changquan looks more depressed than before.

"Ah!" Liu Changquan sighed, "You've heard about Jiang Zhiqing's story, right?"

Liu Yinyin hummed: "Village Chief, please tell me what you want to say."

Liu Changquan took a sip of tea and discussed with her: "Jiang Zhiqing is indeed not suitable for working in the fields, but he is quite talented. I thought it would be hard for you to teach in the school alone, so I wanted to arrange for him to come and help."

Liu Yinyin was surprised: "Help?"

She thought Liu Changquan wanted her to give the job directly to Jiang Zhiqing.

"Yes." If Jiang Zhiqing was not good-looking but useless, Liu Changquan actually did not want to arrange him to teach. "How about this, the two of you can each teach for half a day, and arrange the rest of the time by yourselves."

He couldn't control Liu Yinyin, but Jiang Zhiqing definitely couldn't just teach and not work in the fields. Otherwise, as a grown man, would the villagers have to support him?

I have already spent the first half of the day taking care of him, otherwise I won’t be able to explain to the villagers.

There is no other way. Food is lifeblood for rural people. Who would want to eat without working?

Liu Yinyin's expression was calm: "I'm fine with it. You can make the arrangements, Village Chief."

Anyway, she really doesn't care.

Liu Changquan didn't say anything more and said directly: "Then I will arrange for him to come and teach in the morning. As for the remuneration, you can just keep it the same as before."

After he finished speaking, he paused and immediately gave Liu Yinyin a reassurance: "Yinyin, don't worry, as long as you are willing, you will definitely be able to do this job as a teacher for a long time."

He was becoming more and more confused about the world. Jiang Zhiqing was the first educated youth to come to the village, but he would definitely not be the last.

He was actually very worried. How could these young people from the city do farm work?

Men are okay, they are more or less strong and can be assigned some work.

If a female educated youth came, she would simply cause trouble for the village.

Liu Yinyin said gratefully: "Thank you, Village Chief."

Liu Changquan waved his hands and said, "Why thank you? Without you, this school would not have been established."
