Wen Qing went to the supply and marketing cooperative and used the letter of introduction she made in Wuhan last time to buy 1000 wine bottles and 2000 woven bags to store the food in her space.

She returned to the educated youth point. Everyone else had not returned yet. She went up to the attic and entered the space to harvest food.

Her harvester was still too small and could only cut the rice stalks, which she had to bundle by hand and put on a tractor for transportation. Therefore, it took her half a month to harvest 240 acres of land before she could dry, thresh and store them.

This was also the time she had agreed with Lao Yu.

Wen Qing put the grain on the tractor and came to the small hill east of Luchun City early to check whether Lao Yu had done anything wrong.

After inspecting and finding nothing unusual, she chose a location to park the tractor and walked to a place on the hillside with a wide view.

At 12 o'clock in the evening, I saw a group of people with flashlights coming towards me on the road in the distance.

Wen Qing hid in the darkness. The group of people walked for a while and then stopped. Only one flashlight came towards them. When it got closer, Wen Qing could see clearly that it was Lao Yu.

"Old Yu."

Old Yu stopped and asked, "Old Xiao, where are the things?" He saw that she was alone.

"Follow me." Wen Qing led him around the corner and said, "Wait a moment."

I went to a good spot, put out the tractor, and walked back.

"This way."

Old Yu saw a tractor parked on the side of the road, loaded with bags of grain.

He and Wen Qing moved the grain down to the roadside, then opened the box and checked it one by one, and counted out 1200 yuan for Wen Qing.

Wen Qing took it and counted it. There was no problem. She smiled at Lao Yu and said, "Goodbye."

He got on the tractor and drove away with a rumble.

Only then did Old Yu flash his flashlight over there, and his brother brought people and pulled a cart over to load the grain.

The tractor made a loud noise, so halfway through the journey, Wen Qing put the tractor into the space, changed to a motorcycle, and rode towards Xiangyang Village. It only took him one hour to quietly return to the educated youth point.

She climbed into the attic through the window that had been reserved in advance, lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

After the summer harvest, news came from the commune that Teacher Li from the commune middle school was recommended to study at the Workers, Peasants and Soldiers University, another teacher, Teacher Wang, was an educated youth and was going back to the city, and another female teacher, Teacher Liu, was about to have a baby and also wanted to go home to rest.

Three positions suddenly became vacant at the commune middle school.

Although Teacher Liu will come back to work after giving birth, this position is temporary, but she is also a substitute teacher, which is much easier than working in the production team.

Wu Qing suddenly became nervous and pulled Wen Qing to discuss how to register.

Wen Qing suggested: "Sister Qingqing, let's go to the captain to find out the situation."

Wu Qing: "Okay, you go with me."

Wen Qing: "The fewer people who know about this, the better. It's best if you go alone. Tell the captain this."

She told Wu Qing her idea, then went upstairs and took down a package of things and gave it to Wu Qing, "Give these things to the team leader quietly, and ask him to find someone from the commune."

When Wu Qing opened it, he saw two pieces of Dacron fabric, one red and one dark blue, as well as a bag of toffee, a can of malted milk, and a bag of milk powder.

She quickly declined, but Wen Qing said, "Sister Qingqing, these don't cost much. I'll be happy if I can help you."

Wu Qing didn't have much food herself, so she added a piece of bacon, put it in a basket, and went to find the team leader when everyone was having lunch.

When she came back, Wen Qing saw how happy she was and thought that things were going well.

In the evening, Wu Qing told Wen Qing: "The captain agreed to recommend me."

In fact, things are not that simple.

Wen Qing later found out that Teacher Li, who was attending university, was the nephew of the commune secretary, Teacher Wang returned to the city to get married and found a job, and Teacher Liu, who had a child, was the niece of the team leader.

Wen Qing took out four packets of milk powder and gave them to Wu Qing, asking her to deliver them to the team leader.

Wen Qing thought that this was the good thing about Wu Qing. He never asked her where these things came from and didn't care about her whereabouts, but he was still sincere and hardworking, and wanted to live a good life.

After delivering the things back, Wen Qing did not ask Wu Qing about the follow-up situation.

Two weeks later, when the rice seedlings in the fields had been planted, news came from the commune that this time the teacher recruitment would be conducted through an open examination. After graduating from high school and passing the review of the brigade, they could take the commune examination and be admitted on a merit basis.

After the team leader announced the policy, Wu Qing signed up immediately. After returning, he said to Wen Qing anxiously, "I heard that five people from our team signed up. I estimate that there are no less than 5 people from the entire commune who have signed up."

Wen Qing comforted her: "You have been studying hard, so you should be able to pass the exam better than those people. There is still half a month left, so you can still review well."

Several old educated youths at their educated youth point did not sign up, and only Lin Zhiqiang, a new educated youth, signed up.

In the evening, Li Wei came over and handed over the mimeographed papers: "This is the math, physics, and chemistry exam papers for several grades of high school at the Commune Middle School last year. I found them. Take a copy of each. Try them first."

Wu Qing took it with a red face, "Thank you!"

Li Wei changed his nonchalant attitude and said, "No, nothing. Tell me if you need anything else and I'll go find it."

Wen Qing laughed secretly on the side. These two people have been flirting with each other for a while. I wonder if they have confessed their feelings to each other.

In the evening, Wu Qing, Wen Qing, Gu Hua, and Li Wei moved their stools together and reviewed in Wu Qing's room.

Wu Qing asked everyone about the parts she didn't understand. When she was doing the test paper, Gu Hua immediately corrected it for her and explained the wrong parts again.

After a week, Wu Qing had made significant progress in his studies.

Li Wei also found the high school entrance examination papers of Hongmian Middle School in Luchun County and gave them to Wu Qing to do. This was also considered the earliest tactic of using a large number of questions.

The day before the exam, Wen Qing saw Wu Qing and Li Wei standing together and talking. She turned around and saw Gu Hua also looking at them. They smiled at each other and no one disturbed them.

This time, Levi not only spent a lot of favors to find the test papers, but also probably spent a lot of money. His relationship with the two of them was not very obvious at ordinary times, but at the critical moment, Levi was still very responsible.

On the day of the exam, Xiangyang Brigade sent the five candidates to the commune middle school.

The exam lasted one day, with Chinese, mathematics, physics and chemistry taking two hours each. The commune and the school sent people to invigilate the exams. The papers were graded and the results announced immediately after the exam to minimize any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

In the evening, Wu Qing came back at 8 o'clock. She was all smiles and said as soon as she saw Wen Qing: "Xiao Qing, I passed the exam."

As she spoke, she started to cry, then she hugged Wen Qing and started to cry: "Xiao Qing, thank you."

For 5 years, the heavy labor has turned a beautiful young girl into a rural aunt. Wen Qing is happy for her that she can escape from the days of working in the fields.

Wen Qing asked: "When will the report be published?"

"I'll report in tomorrow."

It turned out that although only three people were recruited, there were 18 people who took the exam, including 10 educated youth. Wu Qing, educated youth from another brigade, Ye Chenglin, and a high school student who returned home, Chen Dayou, were admitted.

During the exam, two educated youth and three returned young people cheated and were kicked out on the spot.

Overall, this exam can be considered fair and just, and Wu Qing can finally put his mind at ease.

Wen Qing asked: "Sister Qingqing, will you move to the school in the future?"

Wu Qing: "I usually live in school during classes, and I come back to live here during holidays and busy farming seasons."

At this time, Li Wei also came over and asked, "Qingqing, how did you do in the exam?"

Wu Qing blushed: "I passed the exam."

Li Wei ran over and grabbed Wu Qing's hand and shook it hard: "Yeah!"

Wu Qing broke free and said to Wen Qing in an embarrassed voice, "We started dating at the end of last year, and I didn't intend to tell everyone so early."
