Then she accidentally got the exquisite jade bracelet. This ability that seemed to be blessed by luck made him wonder, is she really like the little carp that can bring good luck in the legend?
The corners of Yin Yunjie's mouth rose inadvertently, and he turned around and returned to his bed.
With his head resting on his arms, he gazed through the window lattice at the bright moon outside, and his thoughts drifted to a distant place with the moonlight.
On the other side, Xu Qinghe had a good night's sleep and woke up refreshed in the morning.
She found that the villagers were gathering towards the village supermarket.
After some inquiries, I found out that the village director had something important to announce.
It is likely about adjustments to the division of public labor.
Even though this matter may have little to do with her, she still joined the crowd of onlookers with great interest.
Yin Yunjie, on the other hand, devoted himself to building houses and reclaiming abandoned land.
On the spacious threshing ground, there was a bustling crowd of people.
Although the official working hours have not yet begun, everyone is willing to use this free time to communicate.
The village director stood in the center of the crowd, his words piercing the clamor, reaching everyone clearly: "Chen Lili, who was previously in charge of recording work points, has moved to the city and married, so there's a vacancy in our village's public work position. I've gathered everyone here today to announce that we'll be re-electing public work workers! This time, everyone, whether a village resident or an educated youth, is eligible to participate, as long as they meet certain requirements. First, you must have a certain level of education and neat handwriting, preferably a junior high school diploma, but even elementary school graduates can apply. An exam will be arranged, and the candidate with the best scores will be selected. In the event of a tie for first place, we'll hold a nationwide vote to select the most popular candidate. Does anyone have any opinions on this?"
"No objection!" Responses came one after another, especially from those whose families had scholars or educated youth, their eyes sparkled and they were eager to try.
Of course, some people were dissatisfied with this and questioned: "Village head, isn't this too unfair to people like us who don't have much education? It's just recording work points. You can learn it even if you don't know how to read!"
"Yes, why should such a good opportunity be given priority to the educated youth from outside instead of us native villagers? Village director, you have to consider us!"
…
The village director's gaze pierced the crowd, a glint of depth and sophistication. He smiled presciently. "This time, when selecting public servants, we're not only considering the candidate's ability to record work points, but we're also hoping they can assist me at crucial moments, such as writing important reports. If you believe you possess extraordinary abilities despite a lack of cultural foundation, I welcome your challenge with open arms. Remember, the assessment will be conducted on the spot, and your ability will determine the outcome. Whoever stands out will be qualified for this important responsibility."
The village director has a plan in mind for those who are eager to try but are still hoping for a lucky break.
He secretly thought of a strategy to make those who did not meet the requirements reveal their true colors.
He then added, "In addition, candidates must be between the ages of fifteen and thirty. Interested parties must register today. Strict screening will begin tomorrow morning. Time is precious, so don't miss this opportunity."
Xu Qinghe was hidden in the crowd, his wise eyes flashing with recognition of the village director's foresight.
She secretly admired the village chief's move, which not only cleverly appeased everyone's dissatisfaction.
At the same time, it also raises the selection threshold and ensures high-quality selection of talents, which is truly killing two birds with one stone.
Even though there might still be faint voices of dissent lingering in the air, the village chief ignored them and immediately got down to business, arranging the specific farm work for the day.
After hearing the order, the villagers dispersed and returned to their respective positions.
The fields were suddenly filled with busy figures and the smell of renovated land.
However, Xu Qinghe did not follow the crowd to the fields, but turned briskly to a barren land on the edge where Yin Yunjie was working hard.
In fact, it’s not so much about helping Yin Yunjie.
It would be better to say that Xu Qinghe was looking forward to discovering some surprises in this underexplored land.
The wasteland was overgrown with weeds and looked desolate, but for the strong Yin Yunjie, cleaning up was not a difficult task.
Seeing Xu Qinghe joining in with great interest, he just smiled and let her explore this small world freely.
As expected, Xu Qinghe soon let out a cry of surprise.
A seemingly inconspicuous, worn-out little wooden box was dug out of the soil.
When the lid of the box slowly opened, a dazzling golden color came into view - ten small and exquisite gold coins lay quietly there.
Yin Yunjie came over when he heard the sound, his eyes lightly swept over the gold coin, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
Compared with the results of his own sweat, Xu Qinghe's good luck seems to be easier and more precious.
Just like the legendary koi fish that always brings good luck.
Xu Qinghe proudly showed this unexpected fortune to Yin Yunjie.
He then carefully put the gold coins away, intending to appreciate them slowly by himself at night so as not to arouse unnecessary envy or jealousy.
"I want to go to the county town later to experience the bustle there. Are you interested in coming with me?"
She tilted her head slightly and asked Yin Yunjie with a slightly nervous look, but in her heart she was actually praying silently that he would refuse.
After all, she has a secret plan and needs to avoid the eyes and ears of others to visit the county's hidden black market.
Yin Yunjie is a sharp man who has experienced military life.
He caught Xu Qinghe's subtle emotional changes and realized that she didn't really want him to accompany her.
So, he shook his head generously and said with a smile: "I won't accompany you. The work here needs to be completed as soon as possible. Next, I have to contact the craftsmen to discuss the foundation."
Hearing this, Xu Qinghe felt relieved and smiled brightly: "Then it's settled. I'm going to meet a friend and will be back soon."
Today, she did have a task that had to be completed.
Yin Yunjie did not force her to stay, but instead considerately suggested that she ride her bike to the county town.
"Go ride my bike and have a good time."
This bicycle was a gift he gave to Xu Qinghe at their wedding. He didn't expect it to come in handy on such a day.
"Okay!" Xu Qinghe agreed happily. After waving goodbye, she went back home first.
At this time, the little dispute between her and Zhu Yunxiu had not yet subsided, and she deliberately avoided Zhu Yunxiu.
He quietly hid the mysterious little box in a secret corner that even Sun Youfang could not reach.
Then he put on his backpack and pushed his bicycle out quickly.
In the sunlight, the novel-style bicycle stood out on the simple village road.
It almost became the focus of all children's attention.
