Hearing her two brothers' words, Min Qian also wanted to go and take a look. She held Min Jing's hand, eagerly looking at them. When Min Jie saw them, he said, "Forget it, let's all go. These few days, the few youngsters are teaching at school. I'll bring you two to see a show."

When Min Jing heard this, he thought for a moment before saying, "That's good. Let's hurry up and go."

After eating, she lay down on the brick bed. When Gu Min Qian left, she held Gu Min's hand and said, "Mother, I'll trample on your back when I get back."

When Mother Gu heard this, she smiled and said, "Sure, sure. Mother will wait for you."

Minjie was carrying Gu Min Qian, and Gu Min Jing was carrying the family's only electrical appliance. With the flashlight shining on the road, the four of them headed towards the school.

The moon hung in the sky, making the surroundings seem not very dark. Gu Min Qian was already used to going out in the night with the lights on and the surroundings suddenly getting dark, but she felt that it wasn't right. Min Jie carried Min Jing and followed behind Min Jing, while Min He was already skipping in front of Min Jing and shouted in a low voice, "Min He, slow down, don't fall."

Min He smiled and said, "Brother, you don't need to use a flashlight. I can see."

After the meal, everyone packed up and didn't have anything to do. Although they were tired for the whole day, the young people's energy was still quite strong, so they walked towards the small school together. The village was quite supportive of this, so they found some work for the young people, otherwise, when they had nothing to do, they would get into trouble.

Minjie carried Minjie everywhere in her arms, and they walked along together, from the west side of the house to the north side of the East and West side of the street. On the west side, to the north side of the street, to the north side, there was a gate leading east. This was the main gate of the school, and on the north side of the gate was the gate leading east. This must be the main office of the village.

There were several classrooms on the north side of the classroom, and in front of the classroom was a large open area. Min Qian glanced to the south and saw another row of houses, she guessed that it was the dorms of the teachers, but in this school, other than the principal being a teacher in the public service, the rest of the teachers were all private teachers.

At this moment, one of the classrooms was lit up with a gas lamp, which lit up the room. Many people walked in, and Min Jie carried Min Qian, but Min Min Min Min didn't follow them. Qianqian whispered into Min Jie's ear, "Sister, brother and second brother aren't here."

Min Jie also whispered, "It's okay, big brother and your second brother have other things to do. Can you play inside with big sister?"

Min Jing knew that Min Jing and Min He were probably going to the cowshed because when Min Jing left, she said she was going to help carry the water.

Min Jie carried Min Qian into the classroom. At the back of the classroom, he heard a friendly little girl call out Min Jie's name. Min Jie responded and left with Min Qian in his arms.

A 17-18 year old girl with two braids said, "Minjie, why did you only just arrive?"

Minjie said, "My mom has a back ache. Our meal was a bit late. Meiyun, I saw Wen Lan was unhappy in the afternoon. What happened?"

This was one of Minjie's best friends, called Pan Meiyun. Pan Meiyun took out a piece of dried melon from her pocket and stuffed it into Min Qianqian's hand. This was a fresh and cooked sweet potato that had been sliced and dried.

Min Qian looked at the dried melon in her hands and said to Pan Meiyun, "Thank you, sister!"

When Pan Meiyun heard this, she was stunned for a moment before happily replying, "Aiya, Qianqian started to speak. I knew it. Qianqian isn't deaf or crying so how could she be a mute?"

Minjie said, "We only started talking after we had a fever, but we can't talk too long yet. We Qianqian, this is a good meal, so we don't have to be late."

Pan Meiyun gently pinched Min Qianqian's cheek and said, "That's right, a good meal is not afraid of late, but our Qianqian is still a little thin and needs to be taken care of. Min Jie, I can see that your four children are the most beautiful."

She was the only girl in the family, and her two elder brothers married and had children. Both of them were boys, so she really liked girls. Although Minqian didn't say anything since she was young, she was so gentle and quiet that she attracted the attention of others. Not only Pan Meiyun, but the other elder brothers also liked her.

Pan Meiyun looked at Min - qian for a while and said, "Why isn't Wen Lan here yet?"

These people had all graduated from junior high, so they didn't come here for lessons. They came for nothing but to hang out and chat. There really wasn't any entertainment show.

Min Jie looked around, lowered his head and whispered into Pan Meiyun's ear, "Yesterday, Wenlan stopped Shen Feiyang halfway through the work. Wenlan made a pair of shoes for Shen Feiyang, do you think Wenlan took a fancy to Shen Feiyang?"

When Pan Meiyun heard this, she also said in a low voice, "I heard from my brother that Shen Feiyang has a partner who went to be a soldier the year before last. Furthermore, Shen Feiyang is not the son of an ordinary family, so we should advise Wen Lan not to provoke Shen Feiyang.

Min Jie said, "I've told Wen Lan about this, but she doesn't listen. Ever since Shen Feiyang and the rest came to our village, I saw Wen Lan wholeheartedly throwing herself at them, we were still young a few years ago and still studying, but Wen Lan didn't really matter, you saw that she worked for herself, and worked in the village, and she sniffs at Shen Feiyang all day. Everyone in the village knows Wen Lan wants to be on good terms with him, if Shen Feiyang really wants to, then could he not express it for two years?"

As the two of them were whispering to each other, someone lightly knocked on the desk. The two of them looked up and saw Pan Meiyun saying, "Oh, it's Chen Yan."

Gu Min Qian raised her head. The thin, medium built young man that Pan Meiyun called Chen Yan was about 20 years old. He wore a pair of black framed eyes and had a warm smile on his face.

Pan Meiyun smiled and said, "Chen Yan, we graduated from junior high school anyways, why would we need to understand those simple words? We came here to talk, how can we sit in front and affect others' ability to read?"

When Chen Yan heard this, he nodded and said, "That's right. That's right, Min Jie, I still have two books here. Can't you read them?"

When Minjie heard this, he said, "What book?"

Chen said, "'How did you refine the steel' and 'Anna Karenina'? They were brought here by me. I saw that the rumors weren't that bad recently, so I brought them out for you to see. If you want to see, I'll bring them to you for you to look at." Hearing this, Minjie's eyes lit up, but he didn't know what this meant. He said somewhat embarrassedly, "Our family will be building a house in two days, and our family will be in a mess. How about I come and borrow some from you after our house is built?"

Chen Yan said, "Okay, then I'll keep it for you. I'll lend it to someone else after you finish reading it." After saying that, he looked at the watch on his wrist and said, "It's time. We have to attend class. I'll be going over first."

After Chen Yan had walked far away, Pan Meiyun gently touched Min Jie's arm with her arm and said, "I think this Chen Yan is a little interested in you."

Hearing this, Min Jie thought for a moment and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It's not like you don't know our family's situation, I can really ask someone else. Sigh, I'm worried about my brother. If he can't find a wife, I'll go change them for my brother."

When Pan Meiyun heard this, she said, "Don't speak nonsense. What conditions are good for a change of marriage? You look pretty, and your stature isn't short either. You're also a junior high student. If you change your elder brother's wife, it'll just be a waste of your talent."

Minger sighed and said, "Then what can I do? "My mom isn't well, my brother and sister are so young, and my brother has to support our family. Tell me, if my brother doesn't even have a daughter-in-law, how shaky is our family?"

Pan Meiyun said, "How come I heard that Niu Ge's elder sister made a pair of insole for your brother? If she's not interested in your brother, can she make insole for your brother?"

Minjie snorted and said, "Hurry up and forget about his elder sister, it's not like we've never been to her house before. It's like looking at their pigsty and telling my brother that when she marries into our house, she becomes my brother's daughter-in-law and not our brother-in-law's sister-in-law. For the wedding, my brother and sister have to give her away, so why would our family send her out? My brother and sister are so good, we can't bear to part with them."

Looking at the blackboard in front of the classroom, Min Jie had no focus in his eyes as he whispered to Pan Meiyun, "Why should we be in such a hurry to build a house? Isn't it because Niu Kan's mother said that we don't even have a decent house? Why would we want to talk about a daughter-in-law? Why are you talking about a daughter-in-law? Let's just beat it up. My brother grinded his teeth and decided to build a house with my mom. Niu Kan's elder sister doesn't dare to ask for a house."

I heard that at that time, the girls in the house were all looking for a wife at a very high price. Since Niu Ge's elder sister was very popular and was also the class monitor of Iron Lady Class, it wasn't that Niu Ge's father didn't care about matters like this, but I heard him say that he was an honest man, with just a single glance, Niu Zhi's heart was already in his mouth, and the girls that he had raised were probably his daughters as well.

When Min Jie heard this, he said in disbelief, "Aren't they all his children? Why are they still treating him like this?"

Pan Meiyun mockingly smiled and said, "Minjie, there are a few who treat their girls like boys at home. This is how they treat their newbies. Don't you see how they treat their girls as money? They're just waiting for their daughters to make some."
