Unable to endure the hardships of rural life, she returned home to arrange a marriage with a militar

"Oh my god, you didn't see how filthy that father and son were. When I walked into the house, it was piled high with stinky socks, and the stench was unbearable. I almost threw up. I don't know how they've been coping these past few days. If I had come back a few days later, the house would have been covered in mushrooms, enough to cook a dish." Tian Xiufen started complaining as soon as she entered Shu Yun's house, her voice full of energy.

Shu Yun laughed and said, "Doesn't that just prove that our Sister Tian has a remarkably high status in the family?"

Tian Xiufen hummed a few times. She had been back at her parents' home for the past few days and was in a good mood. Although she was complaining, there was not much annoyance on her face, and there was a smile in her eyes.

Seeing Shu Yun busy in the yard, Tian Xiufen glanced at A happy, who looked as black as coal, and asked with pursed lips, "Are you free today? Let's go to Jinshui Village together and exchange some crops and grains to eat."

Shu Yun thought about her family's stored grain and said, "Sure, I happen to have some free time today." Ah happy, who had gained quite a bit of weight, cleverly followed Shu Yun's feet when she saw Shu Yun carrying a bamboo basket and about to go out.

The two men and their dog traveled together. Qingshui Village was not far from the military base, and the two men walked there, chatting and laughing along the way. Before long, they arrived at Jinshui Village.

It's currently the busy summer season in the village, and the fields are filled with neat rows of corn. The corn stalks are laden with plump ears of corn, complete with red tassels, which is a delightful sight.

Shu Yun walked along the ridge between the fields, with fields stretching out on both sides. People were working in the fields. Shu Yun noticed that there were many young people in the fields, wearing brand-new clothes. Some of them wore glasses, and their skin was much whiter than that of the farmers.

Tian Xiufen, however, was quite familiar with the situation in the village. As they walked, she explained to her, "You haven't been here for a long time, so you may not know. Jinshui Village sent down quite a few educated youths recently. Look, these people in the fields are all educated youths."

They watched the people busy in the fields, while the educated youth were also stealing glances at them, or more precisely, at Shu Yun.

The woman's features were delicate and beautiful, and the sunlight made her skin appear even more radiant and fair. When she held her hand and tucked her hair into her hair, she exuded a charming and alluring aura, making it impossible to look away.

One of the educated youths straightened up, wiped the sweat from his face, and asked curiously, "Is this also one of our new educated youths?"

The busy woman glanced at her and laughed, "What are you thinking? This girl is indeed pretty. At first glance, I would have thought she was an educated youth from the city like you."

"But then again, they are indeed from the city."

"I see." The educated youth seemed thoughtful, glancing at Shu Yun every now and then while working.

Well, it doesn't really mean anything, but looking at beautiful things makes me feel like I have a bit more energy to work.

Shu Yun and Tian Xiufen traded quite a few things in the village, including wild mushrooms picked by farmers from the mountains, fresh and crisp cabbages, bok choy, and a large bunch of chives. Shu Yun took the most corn harvested this season.

Tian Xiufen was quite familiar with the villagers here. While she was sitting and chatting, Shu Yun, feeling bored, went outside for a walk.

She saw a group of educated youth surrounding a strong, dark-skinned young man in the field. The man deftly broke off ears of corn with his hands, then cut the corn stalks with a sickle close to the ground, piled them up, and tied them up.

The man was working, tilting his head slightly as he spoke, clearly addressing the people around him.

The educated youth explained the key points of labor.

Several educated youths listened attentively, nodding in agreement, and some even took out notebooks and pens to take notes.

The scene shifts, and on the other side, someone shouts, "Song Zhiqing, why can't the tractor move again? Come and see what's wrong!"

At this moment, a male educated youth who had been listening attentively in the farmland pushed up his glasses and shouted, "Coming right away."

He squatted down next to the tractor and started studying the machine. After a few sputtering sounds, the tractor was working again.

Shu Yun even saw an old woman pulling a female educated youth aside, asking what to do about diarrhea and fever.

Watching all this unfold, Shu Yun suddenly realized that perhaps this was the true purpose of the rural outreach policy.

Going to the countryside meant bringing what they had learned to the working people in remote mountainous areas who lacked education, while the working people also taught the educated youth their experience in the fields. It was a two-way learning process.

Shu Yun thought she roughly knew what the theme of the next comic book would be. Suddenly, Shu Yun heard several dog barks, mixed in with a rather childish bark, which sounded like her own dog, Ah happy.

After the puppy followed her to Jinshui Village, it took off running. Hearing a loud noise, Shu Yun became worried and ran towards the sound.

"Ah-happy? Ah-happy?"

However, when Shu Yun saw the scene of the dog barking, she was speechless. It turned out that her own puppy was chasing a big dog, barking as it ran. She never expected that Ah Xi, who usually seemed timid at home, would become so assertive outside and even dare to chase an adult dog.

Fearing that the big dog would bite Ah happy in return, Shu Yun hurriedly called Ah happy over. Hearing the noise, both dogs looked over, and Shu Yun then recognized that the pathetic dog being chased by the puppies was none other than the Han family's big yellow dog.

Unexpectedly, the big yellow dog still recognized Shu Yun, who had given it small fish before. In Shu Yun's eyes, the big yellow dog's little eyes lit up immediately. Compared to A Xi, the big yellow dog was closer to Shu Yun. The big yellow dog suddenly stopped and ran towards Shu Yun.

Shu Yun was startled. Before she could back away, Da Huang crawled between her legs, its big head buried behind it, only its large buttocks showing, whimpering incessantly, as if it had found a backer.

Shu Yun was speechless. Was this some kind of self-deception? After not seeing Da Huang for several months, he hadn't changed at all; he was still as cowardly as ever.

Soon after, Ah Xi rushed up and saw the big silly dog ​​hiding behind its owner, barking fiercely. Shu Yun could clearly feel the big yellow dog trembling against her calf, but it buried its head even deeper and refused to come out no matter what.

Ah happy lost her patience and bared her little teeth, ready to bite Da Huang's bottom. Shu Yun was startled and quickly picked up the puppy, saying, "Don't fight." Da Huang took the opportunity to run away in a flash.

"Xiao Gu, you're back." Li Jianqing happened to run into Gu Jun, who had just returned from the military camp, and greeted him. Gu Jun nodded.

Today, the army's training ended, and he could finally go home early. Just as he was about to leave, Li Jianqing called out to him, "How is Shuyun doing now? I haven't seen her out and about lately. You should check on her more often. Once this storm passes, she'll be fine. Let her relax."

Gu Jun was completely confused, but the meaning behind the other person's words made him subconsciously frown. "Sister-in-law, what happened to Xiaoyun?"

Li Jianqing was also somewhat surprised. "Didn't Shu Yun tell you when she went back?" Li Jianqing then briefly explained to Gu Jun the recent turmoil circulating in the family compound regarding the political issues of Shu Yun's parents.

Gu Jun asked, "Does your sister-in-law know who spread this rumor?" Li Jianqing shook her head, "I haven't heard of it."

"Okay, I'll talk to Xiaoyun about it when I get back. Thank you for your concern, sister-in-law." Gu Jun said thank you briefly and then quickened his pace to head home.
