“Dad, Mom, Chengxuan, Wan’er, I heard that Qianjin Primary School is recruiting teachers. Wan’er can try it at home.”
“Really?”
Wan’er looked at Gu Yunsheng and asked.
In the original storyline, Wan’er did not participate in this exam.
Because of what the original host had done, the young girl had been ruined by someone.
But this time, Gu Yunsheng would never let that happen.
Of course, becoming a teacher was highly competitive. There were so many educated youths sent to the countryside, and many of them had middle school or high school education.
If one could become a teacher, who would still want to work in the fields? Naturally, everyone wanted to take the exam.
At this time, teachers not only earned ten yuan a month, but also received full work points.
Actually, she herself could go too, but she was lazy.
Besides, letting the young girl remember her kindness was a good thing.
Wan’er was at least a high school graduate. Gu Yunsheng felt that even compared to those educated youths, she should have no problem.
However, Gu Yunsheng did not know why she suddenly thought of Chu Ziheng.
She did not remember such a person in the original book. A man who could stand on equal footing with Huo Chengxuan was not someone she would forget.
But no matter how hard she tried to recall, she truly could not remember.
Forget it, no need to think about it.
Huo’s mother, however, looked a little worried.
“Can Wan’er really do it?”
“She can try. If she passes, our family will have another person earning full work points.”
Wan’er looked at Gu Yunsheng at that moment and found her much more pleasing to the eye.
Gu Yunsheng tugged at Huo Chengxuan’s sleeve.
“Mom, Shengsheng is right. Wan’er can give it a try.”
Huo Zhenguo thought for a long time before speaking.
“Alright, let’s do it this way.”
Wan’er pressed her lips together and said seriously,
“I will definitely pass.”
She had to. She could not let Gu Yunsheng look down on her.
If she failed, she would lose face in front of Gu Yunsheng.
After the matter was settled, everyone at the table except Gu Yunsheng was still eating.
“Shengsheng, why did you eat so little? Do you want more?”
“Mom, I’m full.”
“Can eating this little be enough?”
After saying that, Huo’s mother wanted to ladle another bowl of carrot and rib soup for her.
“Mom, I didn’t do any work. I really can’t eat anymore.”
Seeing that Gu Yunsheng truly could not eat any more, Huo’s mother gave up.
To be honest, Gu Yunsheng had cooked quite a lot, after all, the others all did physical labor.
After the meal, Huo Chengxuan and Huo Zhenguo did not rest.
There were still quite a few weeds in the yard waiting to be cleared.
In the afternoon, after the Huo family went to work, Gu Yunsheng got up to cook mung bean soup.
She had bought a thermos in her space and filled it to the brim. It was already past four when she carried it to the fields.
As she walked along the road, many people stared at her.
Their scrutinizing gazes seemed subtle, but were actually quite obvious.
However, Gu Yunsheng did not care and did not spare them a single glance.
The villagers sighed inwardly.
Many of the older women had seen the commotion last night and already knew that she was the Huo family’s daughter in law.
They had even been discussing it that morning.
Of course, only a few people had seen Gu Yunsheng yesterday. After the morning gossip spread, many were curious about the Huo family’s new daughter in law.
Now that they saw her, they were stunned.
She was simply too beautiful.
“Huo family’s daughter in law, are you here to see your husband?”
At the edge of the field, an older woman asked warmly.
Gu Yunsheng recognized her. She had spoken up for her last night, so she smiled in return.
“Yes, Auntie. It’s too hot, so I brought them some water.”
Gu Yunsheng smiled as she spoke.
Unknowingly, her smile made many of the men in the fields stare in a daze.
If they had such a beautiful wife, they certainly would not let her work in the fields.
Someone like her should be pampered.
“They’re over there.”
Gu Yunsheng thanked her with a smile and quickly found Huo Chengxuan and the others under her guidance.
The Huo family had been assigned to the same plot of land.
When Gu Yunsheng arrived, Huo Chengxuan was wearing a military green short sleeved shirt. His lean waist was defined as he wiped his sweat with a towel.
For a moment, she was stunned.
It took her quite a while to come back to her senses. She inwardly scolded herself for having no self control before calling out,
“Chengxuan!”
Her soft voice made the people working nearby look up involuntarily.
Huo Chengxuan turned toward the sound and saw Gu Yunsheng standing on the field ridge.
She wore a straw hat, and the afternoon sunlight poured over her, as if giving her a soft halo.
Perhaps because of the heat, her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing a fair arm like jade that was almost dazzling under the sun.
But the most striking thing was her face. Her skin was so fair it seemed translucent, like fine jade with a faint blush. Her features were delicate, her nose straight, her lips full with a natural rosy color.
She stood there quietly on the ridge, so beautiful that she did not seem like someone from the mortal world, but rather a spirit who had wandered into it by mistake.
For a moment, not only the men in the field were captivated, even Huo Chengxuan was briefly entranced.
Wan’er also looked up and had to admit that Gu Yunsheng was truly a stunning beauty.
Huo Chengxuan looked at her, his throat moving slightly as he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart. He set the towel aside and strode over in a few steps.
His tall figure instinctively blocked her from those probing gazes as he took the things from her hands.
Because of the sweat, his clothes clung tightly to his body, making his abdominal muscles even more defined. Gu Yunsheng did not dare to look any longer.
“Why did you come?”
His voice was lower than usual, with a hint of hoarseness.
Gu Yunsheng did not care about the attention she had drawn. A faint smile naturally appeared on her lips.
“I was planning to go to Qianjin Primary School to ask about the exam scope and subjects for Wan’er. I also made some mung bean soup to help you cool down.”
Under the sunlight, her teeth were small and white, her smile as clean as a mountain spring.
“No need. I will go tomorrow. You stay home and rest.”
Their conversation was not particularly quiet, so many people heard it.
Among them was Zhao Feng.
Without comparison, there was no harm.
Looking at someone else’s wife, then at his own, he suddenly lost all motivation to work.
Chu Ziheng was also looking over. To the Huo family, the Chu family was not unfamiliar.
However, the relationship between the two families was not very good.
Chu Ziheng stared at them for a long time before lowering his head and continuing to work.
Wang Huijuan was assigned farther away from the Huo family. Otherwise, if she had seen this, she would surely have started making trouble again.
