1970s: A hot-tempered wife who accompanied a soldier to the military compound and made a fortune.

Chapter 175 The village school needs to recruit teachers
These past few days, only one master craftsman has been left to build the courtyard wall, while the rest of the people have been working on the front and back slopes. Fortunately, Fu Yancheng brought enough cement and also delivered so much river sand, so the work can be completed in one go.

Thinking about all this, Chu Xue was a little worried about Fu Yancheng, mainly because she still needed to use his connections to buy glass.

Just then, I heard my older sister's voice: "First Snow".

Looking up, she saw Xia Qiu walking in: "Sister, what brings you here?"

Xia Qiu held up what she was holding: "Once the cane that you asked Uncle Jiu to make for our father is finished, I'll bring it over. That way, our father can come and go more freely."

After saying that, she handed the cane to Liu's father: "Dad, try it on. Uncle Jiu said that if the height is not right, he will help you adjust it."

Xia Qiu looked at the almost completed courtyard and said, "Such a nice courtyard, no wonder my aunt instigated my grandparents to come and live here."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xue said, "Knowing it's impossible, you still have to say it to annoy people. You're just dreaming."

Xia Qiu burst out laughing upon hearing her sister's words: "You, you."

At this moment, Qiu Shaofeng walked in, wiping his sweat: "Didn't I tell you not to come this way?"

Xia Qiu smiled and said, "It's alright. The yard is almost cleaned up. I'll be careful myself, so don't worry."

At this moment, Liu's father interjected, "You should pack up and go back this afternoon. You've already been delayed for several days."

They originally planned to send them back that day, but Qiu Shaofeng said his great-grandmother had instructed him to stay at his in-laws' house for a few days to help with the work, since repairing the house was a big deal.

Since the other party meant well, and considering that a man really needed to take care of things inside and outside the house so that Chuxue could have an easier time, she agreed.

Xia Qiu stood at the gate of the courtyard and looked out: "This slope protection will be completed in another two or three days. Dad, when are you planning to move in?" Liu's father glanced at Chu Xue subconsciously: "There is still a lot of miscellaneous work to be done. I'm afraid it will be the end of June or the beginning of July before we can move in. I was just telling your sister that she should be able to move in when she gets her graduation certificate."

Xia Qiu then remembered; "Chu Xue, while your brother-in-law is here these days, try to read more books whenever you have time. Don't let it interfere with important matters."

At this moment, Liu's father remembered something: "Oh right, this morning your Party Secretary said that the village school needs to recruit two teachers, and he also said to see if you'd like to?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu immediately turned to look at Chu Xue: "This is really great. Being a teacher is good. You don't have to work in the fields in the wind and sun, and you get a lot of work points. Most importantly, it's close to home, so Dad and the others can rest assured."

First Snow nodded and said, "It's really good."

She really hadn't thought about going home to work in the fields to earn work points, since she really couldn't do it and didn't want to. Becoming a teacher at the village school was a good option, as she could take care of her family, earn full work points, and most importantly, go out to the mountains on weekends—it couldn't be better.

Enjoy two years of carefree life, then go to university and start your career when the college entrance exam is reinstated. How wonderful!

Liu's father remembered something: "Your Party Secretary said that the commune will send someone to prepare the exam papers, and the educated youth in the village will also take the exam. Remember to study hard. He will announce this at the morning meeting that day."

Chu Xue nodded: "I understand."

The fact that they notified her in advance is a favor, and she had already thought of that. They couldn't just give her the spot directly; in fact, she had wanted to ask about it earlier.

She could think of it, and the two people present naturally thought of it too. Then they heard Liu's father say, "If it really works out, remember the favor your Party Secretary has done for you."
