"I went to school this morning to see Principal Dong and found out about the situation." Lu Jingzhe answered while doing his work.

At that time, he just asked Principal Dong to handle the matter impartially. He didn't expect Mo Zhenzhen to be "expelled". But it's okay. Mo Zhenzhen's character is indeed not suitable for teaching the next generation.

She didn't take this matter seriously, but she didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to help her seek justice. This made Xia Qingning a little surprised and touched.

After a moment, she stood up from the chair and walked to Lu Jingzhe. Lu Jingzhe was working with his head down. Xia Qingning suddenly leaned over and kissed him on the face.

It wasn't for the reward, I just wanted to kiss him.

Lu Jingzhe was stunned for a moment. After he reacted, he felt a surge of joy in his heart. He tried hard to suppress it so that the corners of his mouth did not rise.

Xia Qingning looked at Lu Jingzhe's calm face and felt a little surprised. This man really didn't understand romance.

At this moment, she suddenly remembered the last time Lu Jingzhe pulled her into the darkness, pressed her against the wall and asked for a kiss. At that time, she was so weak from his kiss that her mouth became dry.

Haha, it turns out that I have always been the one who is not good at teasing.

Seeing Xia Qingning's disappointment, Lu Jingzhe tried hard to restrain the urge to pull her into his arms. He knew that if he really did that, he would not have to do this job anymore, and he would have to go to the room to do other things in a while.

But seeing his wife's lost look, he still couldn't bear it, and quickly took the straw hat from her hand, covered their faces, and kissed her lips in the shadow.

"Fourth brother, brother..." Shi Yamin walked in from outside and looked at the two people hugging each other with their faces covered by straw hats with an embarrassed look on her face. The word "sister" was stuck in her throat.

Seeing someone coming, Xia Qingning looked like a high school student who was caught red-handed by the dean of studies, and her face immediately turned red.

Lu Jingzhe beside him was not as nervous as Xia Qingning. He let go of his hand around Xia Qingning's waist, as if nothing had happened, took off his straw hat, gently put it on Xia Qingning's head, then turned to look at Shi Yamin standing at the gate of the courtyard and greeted:

"Sister-in-law is here."

"Ah?" Shi Yamin seemed even more nervous than him. After saying "ah", she quickly replied, "Oh." After saying "oh", she stammered:

"I came to talk to my sister-in-law about something."

At this moment, Xia Qingning was extremely grateful to Lu Jingzhe for his carefulness in putting the straw hat on her head. The brim of the hat just covered her eyelids so that she didn't have to stare at her sister-in-law, which would have been embarrassing for both of them.

"Sister-in-law, if you have anything to say, come in and tell me." It would be wisest to play dumb at this time. Xia Qingning was about to walk into the house when Shi Yamin pointed to the chair under the grape trellis next to her and said:

"Why don't you just sit here?"

"That's fine." Xia Qingning said and continued:

"Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll get you some tea." After saying that, he walked into the house.

When Xia Qingning came out with the teapot and teacups, she found that Lu Jingzhe was no longer in the yard. The sister-in-law next to her hurriedly told her that Lu Jingzhe had gone to get stones. Xia Qingning knew that he deliberately left the space for herself and the sister-in-law so that they would not have a good chat in his presence.

"Sister-in-law, you have taken great care of this yard." Shi Yamin took the tea handed to her by Xia Qingning. She did not directly explain the purpose of her visit to Xia Qingning today, but sincerely praised the yard.

"I just messed around with it." Xia Qingning's face no longer had the embarrassment on it, and she replied with a smile.

"It's not a random thing at all. I think it's almost like a paradise. I didn't expect that fourth brother's wife is so smart." Shi Yamin continued to praise.

She really didn't expect that this fourth sister-in-law had such leisure and ease. As the youngest daughter of a wealthy diplomat, Shi Yamin had always thought that a rural daughter-in-law would be like the eldest sister-in-law in Captain Ding's family before she saw Xia Qingning. She didn't expect that this fourth sister-in-law would be such a particular person.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xia Qingning was a little uncomfortable with Shi Yamin's praise, so she changed the subject and asked.

"Oh, Principal Dong asked me to do some ideological work on you. I hope you can come to our school for classes." Shi Yamin did not beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose. After saying this, she looked at Xia Qingning and continued:

"Don't worry, sister-in-law. I'm not here to lobby. In fact, I think the Propaganda Department has more development prospects than the school. If I were you, I would choose the Propaganda Department."

This sister-in-law was as outspoken as ever. Seeing her frankness, Xia Qingning nodded and expressed her inner thoughts:

"In comparison, I also prefer the Propaganda Department."

"Yeah." Shi Yamin nodded, and then said:

"But Principal Dong did help you vent your anger this time by letting Mo Zhenzhen leave the school. This is also a favor. If it is convenient for you, can you help draw a blackboard newspaper for our school?"

Then Shi Yamin told Xia Qingning that the school had participated in the city's blackboard newspaper competition, hoping that she could help the school.

After hearing this, Xia Qingning readily agreed. Mo Zhenzhen's resignation was somewhat related to her, and Principal Dong handled the matter very well. She was worried that if she didn't go to school, people would talk about her behind her back.

In fact, she is not afraid of what others say. After all, she has heard too much criticism since she first came here and she is used to it. But Lu Jingzhe is working in the army after all, and they are husband and wife now. Criticism of her will more or less involve him.

Now that I have drawn the blackboard newspaper for the school, I have repaid Principal Dong's favor, and no one will bring this up again.

"Okay, I'll tell the principal tomorrow." When Shi Yamin heard Xia Qingning agree so readily, she had an even better impression of her fourth brother's wife, thinking that she was not fussy about details but also took the overall situation into consideration.

"When should we start drawing this blackboard?" Xia Qingning asked.

"If you have time, you can start tomorrow." Shi Yamin explained the situation to Xia Qingning:

"You may need to put more effort into the bulletin board. There are more than ten schools participating in the competition."

Xia Qingning said that it was no problem and that she would do her best to fix it. After Shi Yamin thanked her, she was ready to leave. Xia Qingning walked her to the gate of the yard. When she was about to leave the yard, Shi Yamin suddenly turned around and said to Xia Qingning hesitantly:

"Fourth brother's wife, there is something I want to tell you..."

Seeing Shi Yamin's cautious and hesitant look, Xia Qingning guessed that what Shi Yamin was talking about might not be a trivial matter. Sure enough, the next second she heard her say:

"Last time, I didn't seem to fall into the pond by myself. Someone pushed me in."
