The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

"Don't worry, sister. Nobody knows where I live. I just bring the goods out to sell."

"Even so, there are still people who know you. What if someone deliberately reports you and then secretly follows you?"

"Don't do anything for a while. Hide anything in the house that you can, okay?"

Through their interactions over this period of time, Shen Jingyue still trusted him. He was capable, honest, and wouldn't resort to any underhanded tactics.

Shen Jingyue still enjoys working with him and hopes to continue working together for a long time, so naturally she doesn't want anything to happen to him.

"Sister, I understand. I won't take this shipment for now. I'll wait until things calm down."

"If you need to find me in the future, go to this address. If I'm not there, just give this letter to the old man there."

He took a small piece of paper out of his pocket and handed it to her.

Shen Jingyue took the small note.

I opened it and took a look. The font wasn't very nice, but it was neat enough. It had an address for a scrap metal collection point on it.

Shen Jingyue didn't ask any more questions and nodded.

"Okay, you can go back now. Be careful during this time."

"Okay, then I'll be going now."

Xia Lin is gone.

Shen Jingyue put the note away and went back.

She went to the supply and marketing cooperative, bought some things, and also bought a piece of cloth for Shen Jinglan. She felt that the color suited her, and if she bought it back, she could ask Sister Lu to make her two more outfits.

The clothes that Shen Jinglan brought before all had patches on them, although they weren't thrown away.

But Shen Jingyue also bought some fabric and made two outfits for her.

There just happened to be some fabric available without coupons, so I can buy it and make two jackets.

The weather is getting colder, and she definitely doesn't have enough clothes.

She also bought some yarn, intending for her to learn to knit sweaters so that she would have sweaters to wear in winter.

After buying some everyday necessities, Shen Jingyue thought for a moment and, confirming that there was nothing else she needed to buy, took the items to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Seeing that it was still early, I went to the state-run restaurant and ordered a bowl of noodles.

After eating, we went to wait for the bus to go home to our family compound.

On the way back, the women in the car were all talking about it. I don't know how they found out the information, but they all talked at once and even knew how many people had been arrested in the county.

Shen Jingyue sat quietly to the side and listened.

I wondered when this situation would end.

Fortunately, I've made quite a bit of money during this period, so I'll just have to be more discreet for now.

Actually, it's not just their county that's cracking down hard; other places are doing the same.

Shen Jingyue did not go to the county again after that.

Even if she didn't go to the county, the women in the family compound could still find out the latest news from the county.

It's just a matter of how many more people have been arrested; this operation will likely continue for quite some time.

After Shen Jinglan's leg had almost fully recovered, Qin Xiang'an actually found her a job as a primary school teacher.

However, many people want that job.

There are several production brigades in this area, all of which have educated youth working there, and everyone wants that job.

But the school only hires two teachers.

So the school organized an exam, and only the top two people were qualified for the job.

Qin Xiang'an told his wife about it.

Shen Jingyue was naturally happy. Although there were quite a few people taking the exam, her sister's results were still quite good.

She felt that Xiaolan should be able to handle it.

But Xiaolan wasn't sure.

Many of the people taking the exam were former educated youth sent to the countryside.

Some of them must have good grades. What if I don't get into the top two?

She also expressed her concerns.

"Sis, do you think I really have a chance of getting in?"

She felt uneasy.

I'm afraid I'll let my sister and brother-in-law down.

"It's okay, didn't I say the test only covers junior high school level knowledge?"

"With your grades, I believe you can definitely do it."

She believed in her; the test this time was all junior high school material, and she already had good grades, plus she had only recently graduated from junior high.

They must have memorized many of the knowledge points, giving them a better chance than those educated youth who went to the countryside first.

Of course, there are also those who are very good at studying, and Shen Jingyue can't do anything about them.

There are quite a few people taking the exam, so all I can say is good luck and you might be able to succeed.

But she still thought highly of Xiaolan.

"Just take the exam with a normal mindset. If you rush, you'll do even worse. Just treat it like a normal exam."

"It's okay if you don't do well on the test. You still have your sister and brother-in-law. We won't let you go hungry."

Actually, it's fine even if Xiaolan doesn't do anything. She can earn money on her own. She earns royalties from writing articles, and she still has the money she earned from buying skincare products.

She could support her even without Qin Xiang'an's money.

But she knew Xiaolan definitely wouldn't agree.

Working in the fields is hard work, and she has never done farm work before, so she will definitely find it very difficult to get used to it at first.

It would be even better if I could pass the teacher's exam.

Teachers all have full work points and can eat in the cafeteria with everyone.

However, during the busy farming season, one still needs to work in the fields, and holidays do not count towards work points.

Even so, the job of a teacher is easy, and many people would be eager to become a teacher.

"Okay, don't worry, sis, I will definitely try my best."

Xiaolan nodded seriously.

She will definitely work hard to pass the exam, so that she won't have to worry about her sister anymore.

The next day, Shen Jingyue accompanied her to the primary school of the Red Flag Brigade, which was also called Red Flag Primary School.

Children from nearby brigades all attend school here, and even children from the family compound who attend primary school study here.

So there are quite a few children in this primary school.

However, it's the weekend, so there aren't many people at the school right now, except for the educated youth who came to take the exam.

Most of the educated youth knew each other, so when they saw Shen Jingyue and Shen Jinglan, they couldn't help but look at them with curiosity.

"Who are you?" one of the female educated youth asked.

Shen Jingyue explained with a smile, "I came to the exam with my sister. She was also an educated youth from the Hongqi Brigade, but she injured her leg a while ago and stayed at my house to recuperate."

"I heard that the school is holding another teacher recruitment exam today, so I brought my sister with me."

"Hello everyone, my name is Shen Jinglan." Shen Jinglan greeted them somewhat nervously.

There were educated youth from the Red Flag Brigade here originally.

I've also heard that a new educated youth came to their brigade, and that he broke his leg and is recuperating in the military family compound.

So I've never seen it before.

When I saw her, I was surprised to find that she was such a beautiful woman.

Shen Jingyue still had some recollection of what was going on, because the market places for several villages were all located on the open space near the Hongqi Brigade.

So some people have seen her, and because she is good-looking, those who have seen her have a deeper impression of her.
