Not only did Zhangjiatun refuse to come forward, but Wang Zhaodi, who had already married the old man, also refused to come back to clean up.

When the people from Wulipu came to her door, Wang Zhaodi only said one thing: "My own mother is dead there, and I've already run away. Why should I give this beast Wang Jie any special consideration?"

Finally, with no other option, the commune members stepped in and organized the neighbors to help carry Wang Jie's body out and bury it not far from Qian Chunfen.

Zhang Yan never brought Ya Ya into the public eye until Wang Jie's burial, cutting ties very cleanly.

In the blink of an eye, the rural road was completely repaired, and not only the children of Zhangjiatun, but also the children of other villages could go to school near the commune.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the commune was filled with joy from early morning. Village cadres and women from the women's office came to help set up big pots, cut large pieces of meat, and prepare for a banquet to be held on the school's grass field that evening.

Many people from Zhangjiatun also went, including Li Huifang, who was an active participant in such matters.

Zhang Yang, the militia captain, didn't go.

Now that the road is finally repaired, all he wants to do is sleep soundly, and when he wakes up, he will have the energy and time to thoroughly study the matter of heading south.

Just as Zhang Yang was drifting off to sleep, he was suddenly woken up by someone pushing him.

"Yangzi, Yangzi, wake up! Wake up!"

"Brother, get up, brother!"

Zhang Yang opened his eyes and sat up. A Ting, Zhang Wen, and Zhang Fei were still shaking their heads desperately.

"Brother, you should go check on Teacher Lin right away!"

"Yes, Yangzi, Teacher Lin is leaving!"

"Oh dear brother, you're making me so anxious! I've told you so long ago that you should go see Teacher Lin sooner, but why won't you go!"

Zhang Yang was instantly wide awake: "Teacher Lin? What happened to her? Where is she going?"

Ah Ting said anxiously, "Teacher Lin said that since the school is already next to the commune, he will go back to the educated youth compound so that it will be closer to school in the future!"

"Yeah, bro, hurry up, let's go find Teacher Lin!"

Zhang Yang immediately stood up: "Let's go!"

After leaving, she ran back and looked at herself in the mirror.

His hair was a mess, so he pushed Ah Ting, Zhang Wen, and Zhang Fei out the door.

For the past six months, Lin Qiushui has stayed in Zhangjiatun to teach and has hardly left the village.

In addition to teaching literacy, memorization, math, and some basic common sense, she also taught a lot of English.

Now, the children in Zhangjiatun can speak fluent and fluent English, all thanks to her teaching them one by one.

For the past six months, Zhang Yang has picked her up from school every day, regardless of the weather.

They ate at Zhang Yang's house, and Zhang Yan and Li Huifang prepared a particularly lavish meal for each one.

They had considered having Lin Qiushui stay at their house, since the new house was very large and had plenty of rooms, but Lin Qiushui politely declined each time.

Widow Gao's house was closer to the classroom than her own, making it easier for her to get there early.

Now, Zhang Yang tidied up and ran to Widow Gao's house, where he saw Lin Qiushui with her back to the door, folding clothes.

Hearing the noise, Lin Qiushui turned around and smiled at Zhang Yang: "Did A-Ting and Zhang Wen call them for you?"

Zhang Yang nodded and went inside, saying, "Why don't we stay here?"

"The educated youth compound is closer to the school, so commuting there will be more convenient in the future."

Zhang Yang paused for a moment, then said, "I have a bicycle. I'll take you there on my bicycle first. In a few years, when I buy a car, I'll drive you there."

His financial situation is very good now; it's no secret that those close to him know this.

Lin Qiushui frowned slightly: "Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you?"

“I don’t find it troublesome at all; on the contrary, I feel very happy.”

As he spoke, Zhang Yang's eyes deepened, and he stared intently at Lin Qiushui: "Teacher Lin, if I found it troublesome, I wouldn't have been picking you up and dropping you off every day without fail for so long."

Recalling the past few months spent together, especially the summer downpours when the two of them delivered children from house to house in the rain, and when they returned, they were trapped under one roof, Lin Qiushui's smile became even gentler: "Thank you, Captain Zhang."

"From now on, please don't call me Captain Zhang anymore..."

Lin Qiushui paused: "What?"

"Qiu Shui, be my girlfriend," Zhang Yang's expression became serious. "If you become my girlfriend, I'll pick you up every day, and it won't be a hassle."

Lin Qiushui froze, staring blankly at Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang continued, "Qiu Shui, we've known each other for a long time. From now on, I won't call you Teacher Lin, and you shouldn't call me Captain Zhang either."

Outside the door, A-Ting was hiding quietly, with Zhang Wen and Zhang Fei beside him.

Outside, Zhao Dong learned that Zhang Yang was there and came in to look for him.

A-Ting and Zhang Wen quickly gestured for him to be quiet.

So Zhao Dong came over and hid with the four of them.

Lin Qiushui's heart started racing. She suddenly felt very awkward, but she also liked the feeling.

"Is it okay?" Zhang Yang's voice lowered. "Be my girlfriend."

Before Lin Qiushui could think of a reply, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye and looked towards the windowsill.

Outside the window, several people were hiding with their backs to each other.

Following Lin Qiushui's gaze, Zhang Yang also turned his head to look.

Outside, because of the sudden silence inside, A-Ting and Zhang Wen, who couldn't resist, quietly peeked out.

As a result, their eyes met those of Zhang Yang and Lin Qiushui.

Ah Ting chuckled, scratched his head, and stepped forward: "Brother Yangzi..."

"Brother." Zhang Wen stood up, feeling embarrassed.

Since that's the case, Zhang Fei and Zhao Dong should come out as well.

And then there were Gao Wen and Gao Wu, who happened to come looking for Zhang Yang, and the Zhang Simao and Zhang Wumao brothers—

None of them spoke, but the smiles on their faces were Zhao Dong's signature "hehehe," a sly grin beneath his honest appearance.

Lin Qiushui's face turned completely red, even her ears turned red. She wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, but Zhang Yang stepped forward and hugged her tightly.

Lin Qiushui nestled against his strong chest and could clearly hear Zhang Yang's heartbeat, which was very powerful.

"Dongzi!" Zhang Yang turned to look at Zhao Dong.

Zhao Dong still wanted to watch the excitement, but he had no choice but to say to the others, "Let's go, let's all hurry up and leave!"

After everyone had been chased away, Zhang Yang looked down at Lin Qiushui.

"Qiushui, you haven't said yes to me yet."

Lin Qiushui finally mustered her courage, her voice soft: "Okay..."

Zhang Yang's smile was incredibly bright, his teeth were white and shiny. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. You could still smell the floral fragrance left on her hair from when she had just washed up.

Lin Qiushui blushed deeply.

Zhang Yang put his arm around her with one hand and reached for her luggage, which she had just packed, with the other.

"I'm not staying here anymore. I have plenty of houses. Take all these things with me!"

Lin Qiushui stammered, "Wait, how could it be so fast!"

"There are many guest rooms."

Zhang Yang emphasized the word "guest room".
