70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

I finally married a beautiful wife, and I'd feel like I'd missed out if I didn't have a lot of kids with her!

With such good genes, their children will definitely be handsome boys and pretty girls!

When Zhou Qingwen arrived at the town's police station, Liu Qiwu was already waiting for him in the office.

Liu Qiwu filled out all his information and asked Zhou Qingwen to review it carefully, making sure to correct any mistakes.

Zhou Qingwen had an excellent memory; he answered correctly in one go: "No problem! All correct!"

"Then sign your name, and we'll take it to Deputy Director Chen for signature. After that, I'll submit it to the higher-ups for review. Just wait for my notification. Once the review is complete, you'll be a registered external police officer."

Zhou Qingwen immediately saluted and said, "Yes, sir! Thank you, Officer Liu!"

"Excellent salute, very standard!"

Zhou Qingwen slightly curled the corners of his mouth. The training he had received in his previous life was not for nothing!

Zhou Qingwen returned to the Zhouzhuang Production Brigade, wearing a big red flower on his body.

On his way home, many villagers saw him and were very surprised.

Zhuang Maoshan stopped Zhou Qingwen halfway there: "Hey, Zhou Qingwen, why are you wearing that big red flower?"

"I've joined the town's police station; I'm now an externally-affiliated police officer!"

Zhuang Maoshan swallowed hard: "An externally-appointed police officer?"

Zhou Qingwen then rode his bicycle to the brigade leader's house, returned the bicycle, and said to the brigade leader, "Brigade leader, come over for roast suckling pig tonight!"

The captain exclaimed excitedly, "It's done?"

"Hey! It's done!"

"Okay, I'll definitely celebrate at your place tonight!"

The captain looked excited, wiping his face with his hand, unable to hide his excitement.

Zhou Qingwen returned home wearing a large red flower. Yu Yalan greeted him at the door and immediately leaned close to him, asking, "Wen, you've really become an unofficial police officer?"

"It's done! The application has been signed, all that's left is to get it stamped."

Zhou Feitian and his wife also rushed over to check on him. Neither of them had been working in the fields all day and they were anxious, so they simply stayed home and waited for news from Zhou Qingwen.

Yu Yalan said happily, "I'll go cook. We'll have some noodles for lunch, and for dinner, I'll cook a lot of dishes, at least ten dishes for the whole table!"

Zhou Qingwen stepped forward, picked up Yu Yalan in one swift motion, and said, "Okay!"

Yu Yalan, holding Zhou Qingwen in his arms, said nervously, "What are you doing? Let go!"

Zhou Feitian quickly scratched his head a few times and hurried outside; he couldn't bear to watch this scene anymore.

Liu Yue'e laughed and said, "I'll go to the vegetable garden and pick some vegetables!"

Yu Yalan said shyly, "Mom, remember to add more scallions and cilantro."

"Okay, I got it." Liu Yue'e took the vegetable basket and came out. She saw Zhou Feitian standing outside and looked very happy.

She reached out and touched his chin, her face showing excitement and a slight hint of smugness.

"You look so happy. Come with me to pick vegetables. Otherwise, we won't earn any work points today."

"Okay, let's go pick some vegetables together."

"Yue'e, our third brother seems to be really lucky."

"Yes, it's also the result of the third brother's own hard work."

"Yes, that's right!"

Zhou Feitian and his wife walked towards the vegetable garden.

Zhuang Maoshan was furious at a corner!

"How come Zhou Qingwen suddenly became an externally-appointed police officer? Won't he become the talk of the town now?"

Zhuang Maoshan looked resentful; it was outrageous!

The news that Zhou Qingwen had become an external police officer spread throughout Zhouzhuang Production Brigade and several surrounding villages in less than half a day.

When Luo Xiuqin heard the news, she almost cried again!

Her heart was in excruciating pain, like she had swallowed a needle!

Her relationship with Zhang Baocai had only just begun to improve slightly.

And Zhou Qingwen dealt her another heavy blow?

How much do contracted police officers earn in a month?

An old woman immediately started chattering, "I don't know, but there must be quite a few! Oh dear! I say, Luo Xiuqin, what outstanding people have you missed? You're truly blind!"

Luo Xiuqin said angrily, "Aunt Fu, aren't you going too far? I'm dating Zhang Baocai now, I don't care about Zhou Qingwen anymore!"

Luo Xiuqin's heart is aching!

Although I said I didn't care, I was actually incredibly conflicted inside!

Moreover, the more admirable qualities Zhou Qingwen possesses, the more it highlights how wrong Luo Xiuqin was, and how terribly wrong she was!

Which eye took a liking to Zhang Baocai back then?

She even lost her virginity to Zhang Baocai?

At the time, she just thought Zhang Baocai was the second son of the village's brigade leader and that he was a capable person.

As a result, he had no job, no ability to earn money, but a terrifyingly bad temper!

Now, Luo Xiuqin has nowhere to cry.

Zhou Qingwen, whom you used to look down on?

But he's doing better and better!

Now they've even become the town's police station, and the police officers are officially employed by the government—they're getting a government job!

"I receive a fixed monthly salary, food allowances and numerous welfare subsidies every month, and even clothes are provided."

That person who was looked down upon by everyone back then is now the most sought-after woman in the whole village!

As Aunt Fu got more and more carried away, she gave Luo Xiuqin a disdainful look.

Luo Xiuqin was so exasperated by what she said that she wished she could disappear into a hole on the spot!

It doesn't matter who is doing well, but it's Zhou Qingwen, whom she doesn't want, who is doing better and better.

It hurt like she was being pricked with a needle!

The pain in my heart is so intense; the more I think about it, the more unwilling I am to accept it!

However, Zhou Qingwen is now married.

Moreover, I heard that Zhou Qingwen asked Zhou Haoquan to help chop firewood so that Yu Yalan could have a fire to keep warm in the winter!

Zhou Qingwen truly felt sorry for his wife.

Aunt Fu's words pierced Luo Xiuqin's ears like a demonic whisper!

Luo Xiuqin was afraid that if she listened any longer, she would get so angry that she would explode on the spot!

Luo Xiuqin took a deep breath, glared hatefully at Aunt Fu, and walked back through gritted teeth.

Why is Luo Xiuqin still in the countryside at this time?

Because Luo Xiuqin's mother suddenly changed her mind. High school costs money, and now that Luo Xiuqin has gotten involved with Zhang Baocai, Zhang Baocai is quite outstanding in Luo Xiuqin's mother's eyes.

Well, the key point is that the brigade leader's second son, I heard, can eat an egg every other day.

Luo Xiuqin's mother had already told Luo Xiuqin that she shouldn't eat the eggs, but take them back to her parents' home for her younger brother, Luo Fugui!

Luo Xiuqin was also reluctant to let Zhang Baocai go.

Because she was already with him, in this day and age, once a woman gives up her virginity, she almost has no way to choose again.

Luo Xiuqin was so foolish as to hand it over.

If Zhang Baocai doesn't marry her, she won't be able to marry into a good family in the future.

Therefore, Luo Xiuqin did not attend high school.

One reason was that Luo Xiuqin's mother was unwilling to spend the money.

Secondly, supporting Luo Xiuqin's education was also a way of marrying Zhang Baocai; not attending high school was also a way of marrying Zhang Baocai.

Why waste the money to study it?

Luo Xiuqin's mother simply stopped supporting Luo Xiuqin's education.

Now, Luo Xiuqin's mother has also heard about Zhou Qingwen becoming an unofficial police officer.
