Struggle Life in the 1970s

After a week, the school announced the schools where the students would do their internships. Apparently, Comrade Zhou Wenlong was not that capable, and Chu Ye was assigned to a pretty good primary school in town. There were a few other people with her whose grades were among the best in the grade.

But there is one thing, this town is at the easternmost part of their city, which is exactly opposite to her home, but it is closer to the school where Mu Jiajun is studying. Therefore, when she wrote to Mu Jiajun to tell him about her graduation internship, she unconsciously told him about it.

Today is the day they pack their luggage to go to the internship school. The four people in the dormitory are reluctant to leave. Although everyone has different personalities at the beginning of the school, they discovered the advantages of each one after getting along with each other. After three years of getting along, they have already regarded each other as sisters.

Zhao Yue's eyes were red first, and she hugged the three people and cried loudly, causing Manwen to sob uncontrollably. Chu Ye and Zhuo Jun hurried to coax the two of them. The four of them gathered together and expressed their reluctance to part. Finally, they left their contact information to each other and promised to write to the other three frequently to end the reluctance to part.

The school-chartered car carried this group of young students towards their next journey in life.

When Chu Ye stood at the school gate with her luggage, she finally realized that she had entered another stage of her life. She was about to leave her student status and take on the responsibility of teaching.

As early as when the car stopped at the school gate, the movement here attracted the attention of the security guard. Their school and Chu Ye's technical secondary school have a cooperative relationship. Every year, students come here for a one-year internship. Therefore, when the security guard saw the car at the gate, he guessed that it might be this year's interns.

The security guard went up to greet them warmly, and after exchanging information, he found that what he thought was correct, so he quickly welcomed the people into the campus and asked them to wait for a while while another security guard ran to call for more people.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a beer belly and silver-rimmed glasses appeared. He briefly introduced himself, and everyone realized that he was the vice-principal of the school, and they hurriedly greeted him politely.

At the same time, Chu Ye handed over a letter, which the school asked her to bring here. It briefly introduced the information of Chu Ye and others, to prevent someone from falsifying their identities. It also asked the people here to treat these students well.

After reading the letter, the vice-principal asked for the names one by one, and after confirming that they were correct, he led everyone to the dormitory.

"Your school told us half a month ago that a group of intern teachers would be coming soon. We were so happy that we quickly arranged this dormitory for them."

The teachers' dormitories are in the same place as the students'. They are two four-story buildings. They look similar to those in their school, which are common tube-shaped buildings. It is class time now and the campus is quiet.

"Our dormitories are separated by gender. The one in front is for boys, and this one is for girls. All teachers in our school are arranged on the first floor."

The vice-president led the group to the girls' dormitory building, and stood in the corridor, pointing at several open doors and continuing, "These are empty dormitories, usually two people in one room. We have four female classmates, so you can pick any two rooms as dormitories. The locks and keys are on the table in the room, and you can keep them safe after you pick them."

Seeing Chu Ye and the others nodding in understanding, the vice principal pointed to the back of the corridor and said, "Over there are the public wash basins and toilets. You can go and have a look later. Also, if you need anything in the dormitory, you can come to my office and I will find someone to arrange it for you."

After hearing this, Chu Ye and the others hurriedly expressed their gratitude. The vice-principal took the boys to another building. Before he finished speaking, he told everyone that after the class was over, he would call a few students to help with the luggage. They had been sitting in the car for half a day, so they just had a good rest in the dormitory.

That being said, after Chu Ye and the other three had chosen a room, they looked at the dormitory, which was clean and bright and had obviously been cleaned in advance. They felt that there was nothing to do, so they tacitly went to the school gate and planned to move some small luggage in first.

Although their luggage was placed together, they were careful to put their luggage in a pile when they were unloading it from the car. When Chu Ye went back and forth to prepare for the second move, a passenger bus stopped at the school gate and a young man in a blue short-sleeved shirt got out of the bus.

He has a handsome face, deep eyes, and dark brown hair that gleams with a hint of gold in the sun. His gray-blue eyes have been looking around since he got off the car. When he saw the small mountain of luggage on the side, joy flashed in his eyes. The car spewed out exhaust and drove away, but the young man walked towards the luggage with a smile on his lips.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The old man at the door discovered the suspicious man in time and rushed out of the guard room to fight him. However, when he saw the man's clothes and appearance clearly, he was speechless again.

This guy doesn't look like a thief, could he also be a trainee teacher? But he didn't bring any luggage?
Just as the guard was about to ask him what he wanted to do, a group of girls walked out of the door. The originally laughing voices fell silent when they saw the scene in front of them.

Among them, the most surprised was Chu Ye. From a distance, she looked at Mu Jiajun, blinked in disbelief, and found that the man was still standing there, with a pair of handsome eyes and eyebrows filled with smiles.

Her heart was pounding.

The girls next to him were obviously also surprised. They were discussing the man's identity in a low voice. They were the only intern teachers assigned by the school. They had never seen the man in front of them at school before, but he was really handsome, and the impact brought by his mixed-race look was no less than seeing a character in a movie.

Seeing Chu Ye standing still, Mu Jiajun did not walk over rashly, but looked away and explained to the security guard, "That's my cousin. I came to see which one is my cousin's luggage and wanted to help her."

He pointed over, and his clear voice penetrated the ears of everyone present. Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Chu Ye. When Chu Ye heard the name "cousin", the tip of her ears flushed quietly.

Under the inquiring gaze of the security guard, Chu Ye hesitated for a while, but finally acknowledged the identity of this cheap cousin.

On the other side, Mu Jiajun heard her admit it, his eyes curved into a crescent, and he waved, "Cousin, come here quickly, I don't know which one is yours."

Under the surprised, envious and shy gazes of the girls behind her, Chu Ye slowly moved over. As soon as she got close, she smelled the clear soapberry scent on Mu Jiajun's body, which seemed to bring comfort and make her less nervous.

"I just got off the car and don't know which one is your luggage. Just point it out and I'll help you move it." Mu Jiajun said it as a matter of course. If you didn't know, you would think that Chu Ye had specially called him to help.

But God is my witness. She hasn't seen Mu Jiajun since she started school at the end of August. Even when she came here for an internship, she only told the school but didn't ask him to come.

Chu Ye had countless questions in her mind, but now was not the time to ask. She pointed to her own pile and saw Mu Jiajun easily took the bag in his hand, then swung his arm and put it on his shoulder. His free left hand picked up another bag nimbly. There was also an enamel basin on the ground with towels and toiletries in it.

Mu Jiajun nodded his chin and said, "Cousin, thank you for your hard work in carrying the basin." After that, he motioned Chu Ye to lead the way.

Chu Ye's mind was numb, and she did as he said. The security guard also knew his identity. Although it was not good to let them in rashly, Chu Ye assured her that her cousin was just moving the things over and would come out soon. She also registered his identity information in the guard room before letting the two in.

The other three girls were still in shock. Although they had always known Chu Ye's name, after all, she was the beautiful and smart student who topped the school's overall score, they were not in the same class, so they were not very familiar with each other. At this time, they just looked at her and did not dare to ask more questions.

After Mu Jiajun moved the things to the dormitory, he took Chu Ye out again without taking a rest. The two of them helped to move the luggage of the other three people back to the dormitory. As for the luggage of the other boys...

Mu Jiajun: “They have hands and feet, they can do it themselves!”

After everything was settled, Mu Jiajun used the excuse of being hungry to ask Chu Ye to take him to the town for dinner.

There was clarity and sincerity in Mu Jiajun's gray-blue eyes, which at this moment revealed a bit of the cheating of a big dog. Chu Ye had no choice but to surrender.

However, Chu Ye had just arrived here today, and she had no idea what delicious food there was in the town. She had originally planned to take Mu Jiajun to a state-owned restaurant for dinner after leaving school, but she didn't expect that it was Mu Jiajun who acted faster.

He really was like a big dog. After leaving the school gate, he pulled Chu Ye and walked eastward. Soon, various shops came into view. Chu Ye also saw people entering and leaving restaurants, but Mu Jiajun walked straight ahead, without looking around, and walked to a roadside stall, "Boss lady, two bowls of cold noodles."

"Okay, hey, it's you, handsome guy. You're here again." The proprietress had her black hair tied behind her back, wore a blue plaid shirt, and a black apron around her waist. When she heard someone buying cold noodles, she responded subconsciously. When she looked up, she found that this was the handsome guy who had been patronizing her stall for several days in a row.

Looking further back, I saw a pretty girl standing next to the handsome boy. She had a fair and clean face with a little blush on her cheeks and a pair of black grape-like eyes, which were also very pretty.

"Hey, your cousin is finally here today. Everyone in your family is so good-looking. Come and sit down. The cold noodles will be ready in a moment."

The proprietress was smiling and looked very friendly. After Mu Jiajun motioned for Chu Ye to sit down, he sat down opposite her. The two looked at each other. Her reflection was filled in his gray-blue eyes. Chu Ye lowered her eyes unnaturally.

"From what the boss lady said, this seems to be your first time here?" Seeing that Mu Jiajun was still staring at her, Chu Ye spoke to break the silence.

"Ah? I, I just came here to eat, and I know that the cold noodles here are delicious, so I wanted to bring you to try it. Let me tell you, the taste can't be compared even to state-owned restaurants." Mu Jiajun said "I" for a long while, and finally chose to change the subject and explained the reason for coming to the roadside to eat.

However, his poor speaking skills were ruthlessly exposed by the proprietress who came to serve the food, "Hey, young man, didn't you say that you came here to help because your cousin was going to come here for an internship and you were worried about her? You have been here for several days, wasn't it because you didn't wait for your cousin?"

In an instant, Mu Jiajun's face turned red as blood.
