Zhou Xu was still taking a nap when he went to work in the afternoon, and Yin Qingbai finally found a chance to be alone with the young educated youth.

"Why have you been hanging out with Zhou Xu these past two days?"

Yin Qingbai stared at Tao Wan, then looked away when Tao Wan looked up at him.

"He has nothing to do when he is idle. I am the only idle person in the whole village. He comes to me to relieve his boredom."

When Yin Qingbai saw that Tao Wan was still acting like a normal person, he frowned and said seriously: "You are always with him, and others still think you two are lovers."

Yin Qingbai made insinuating remarks.

Tao Wan stared at Yin Qingbai for a long time. Yin Qingbai looked straight ahead, looking serious.

Tao Wan: Only you would pay attention to these things.

Tao Wan knew that Yin Qingbai liked her, but she had no intention of being with Yin Qingbai.

The reason why she ended up miserably dying on the street in her previous life was not only because she was stupid and her stepmother was a sycophant, but also because she got close to a man.

Even though Yin Qingbai seems to be a good person now, Cao Zijun was also good in everything in Tao Wan's eyes at the beginning.

She had no intention of responding to Yin Qingbai's feelings, so her attitude towards Yin Qingbai was always indifferent.

"I won't fall in love with you here. I have to go back to Yancheng sooner or later."

Having said that, even if Yin Qingbai was a fool, he knew that he was not among Tao Wan's choices.

After Tao Wan finished speaking, Yin Qingbai was silent for a while and walked to the warehouse.

Yin Qingbai took the plow and left, instead of waiting for Tao Wan to sort everyone's tools before leaving as before.

Tao Wan glanced at Yin Qingbai's back in a hurry and found that his broad shoulders were slightly drooped, looking a little depressed.

Her heart twitched, but she didn't let herself think about it and turned back to her work.

When returning the tools in the evening, Tao Wan brought a message to all the educated youths. After dinner, they gathered at the original educated youth point and talked about the literacy class.

The horizon is illuminated by an orange sunset, and the color of the earth becomes charming and sentimental.

After dinner, Tao Wan walked to the original educated youth spot, but he followed her as if nothing was wrong: "It will be dark when you come back later, so it's not safe."

Tao Wan thought that what he said at noon would make Yin Qingbai retreat.

I didn't expect that this person would be lost for an entire afternoon at most.

"We are all in the village, what's the point of being unsafe?"

"Xiao Tao, what Qing Bai said makes sense, just let him give it to you!" Liu Yan helped, and she took out a bunch of green thin nylon ropes and knotted them.

"Let's go." Seeing his mother helping him, Yin Qingbai raised the corner of his mouth and touched Tao Wan's braid on the back of his head.

Tao Wan subconsciously hid and looked back at Yin Qingbai.

Has this person lost his memory? What he said at noon had no impact on him at all?

Or has she misunderstood Yin Qingbai's feelings for her?

Yin Qingbai followed Tao Wan, following every step.

He had thought about it while working in the afternoon. Tao Wan was going back to Yancheng to find a partner, so he thought of a way to go back to Yancheng with Tao Wan.

Hearing that next year's quota of worker, peasant and soldier college students will be assigned to the Shanhaiwan Brigade, he will definitely fight for it!

Then isn’t Tao Wan still his?

Yin Qingbai thought and grinned.

Tao Wan was a little baffled, wondering why he was so happy.

When Tao Wan passed by, all the educated youths arrived.

Seventeen people stood in the courtyard of the Educated Youth Center, which seemed a bit crowded.

Seeing Tao Wan and Yin Qingbai coming side by side, everyone asked anxiously: "When you got off work, did you say that literacy classes were going to be opened in the village? How did you say that?"

As the educated youth are the most educated group of people in the village, teachers for literacy classes are most likely to be selected from among them.

That's much easier than working in the fields.

Tao Wan took a look and saw that there were people in this group who had nothing to do with themselves, such as Zhao Yue, Zhou Na, and herself in the previous life. They were not interested in such things, but there were also people with bright eyes, just like Wang Lanxiang.

and Cao Zijun.

Tao Wan glanced at Cao Zijun and hummed in her heart, nothing she can say this time will make you get what you want.

"Tao Wan, please speak quickly." Wang Lanxiang came over and grabbed Tao Wan's hand.

If she could serve as a teacher in this literacy class, she would definitely get a public subsidy and be able to show her face in front of the whole village.

Not all educated youths were born into wealth like Tao Wan.

Wang Lanxiang has five brothers and sisters in her family. Although her parents are a two-worker family, they are both ordinary workers at the lowest level. They have to support five children, including a grandmother who is not in good health, and their life is very difficult.

Tao Wan knew Wang Lanxiang's decision. She wanted to stay in Shanhaiwan. At least here she could earn enough work points to have enough to eat. If she had any surplus, she could send money and tickets back to subsidize her family.

In her last life, Wang Lanxiang found a partner in Yinjiazhuang, but Tao Wan didn't know whether they got married or not.

"It's like this. The village chief told me at noon today that after the busy farming season ends in the autumn, the village will start literacy classes. I want to select five people among our educated youth to be teachers in the literacy classes. Let me tell everyone.

I didn’t dare to delay, so I told everyone right away, so it’s best to decide as soon as possible.”

Someone asked: "How to choose and who will choose?"

Tao Wan said: "Fair competition, our educated youth will make recommendations first, and then let the village chiefs and village cadres make the decision. Anyone with ideas can sign up now."

"I want to sign up!"

As expected, Cao Zijun was the first to raise his hand.

Wang Lanxiang immediately followed: "I'll sign up too."

Several more people raised their hands one after another, and Tao Wan counted ten in total.

Most of the educated youth want to do this job.

"Okay, everyone, listen to me first. The village chief has requirements for us educated youths. First, we must have clear expression skills. Those who are too introverted will not be able to do it. Secondly, we must have organizational skills and be easy to talk. Finally, we must pass the labor aspect. Normally,

If you can't even finish the work, it's hard to convince the public and make the fellow villagers laugh."

After Tao Wan finished speaking, two people lowered their heads and put down their hands.

"Who are you talking about, Tao Wan?! Who can't pass the labor test?" Zhou Na felt that Tao Wan was alluding to her, how could she hold back.

"You didn't sign up, so I'm definitely not talking about you."

Tao Wan's explanation made Zhou Na feel that something was wrong, but it made sense.

But except Zhou Na, after Tao Wan finished speaking, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at Cao Zijun who had his hands raised.

The person who failed to pass the labor test, but still signed up to be a teacher, is Cao Zijun!

He is also a new educated youth. He can't do as much work as Wang Lanxiang alone. He can be said to be on par with Zhou Na.

Cao Zijun naturally understood the meaning of everyone's glances, and Zhou Na, a careless person, made the matter clear: "Cao Zijun, then you can't sign up!"

Cao Zijun's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and his raised hands were shaking.

Tao Wan's lips couldn't help but raise, like a kitten succeeding in mischief.

Yin Qingbai caught a glimpse of it and couldn't help but stretch his eyebrows with a doting look on his face.

This little educated youth is causing mischief.

At the same time, he also saw Tao Wan's targeting of Cao Zijun. He didn't see any communication between the two people on weekdays. He didn't know when Cao Zijun and Tao Wan formed a relationship.

But if Tao Wan doesn't want to see anyone, he, Yin Qingbai, certainly doesn't want to see him either.

Unbeknownst to Tao Wan, Yin Qingbai had already been placed on Cao Zijun's enemy list.
