The three of them discussed the design together, and in the end, Sun Li gave the old tailor a cloth ticket equivalent to her salary.
“You could come and get it in a week,” the old tailor said.
Sun Li gave a few more instructions. After that, Sun Li wanted to take Ye Ling to the market to buy some things, but Ye Ling didn’t want Sun Li to spend any more money. She used the excuse of being in a hurry to return and move her things, and they both went back to Willow Village.
When they returned home, Min Nan and Wan Xue were also there. Ye Ling prepared to go to the educated youth dormitory in Willow Village to pack her blanket and other belongings. Min Nan and Wan Xue offered to help, and Ye Ling had no choice but to agree.
The three of them arrived at the educated youth dormitory. After Ye Ling finished packing her things, Min Nan helped her carry the heaviest box. They were now ready to go to Stone Village.
Before leaving, Ye Ling went to Yu Huan’s dormitory to bid farewell.
Yu Huan hadn’t expected Ye Ling to leave so hastily. She quickly changed into her clothes and went out, expressing her desire to accompany Ye Ling to Stone Village.
Thus, the group going to Stone Village now consisted of four people.
Upon entering Stone Village and seeing the familiar houses and roads, Ye Ling felt a sense of nostalgia, thinking, “I’m back.”
When she had initially left Stone Village, it was to avoid rumors and gossip and to protect herself from potential harm. After the rumors had passed, she became a pharmacy administrator and returned to the place where she had lived for over a decade in her previous life.
The four of them first visited the village committee of Stone Village to find the village chief, Sun Yi. Sun Yi provided Ye Ling with the address of her new residence. The four of them then carried Ye Ling’s luggage to her new dormitory.
Ye Ling wasn’t assigned to the same educated youth stronghold as Yun Jie, but the distance between the two strongholds wasn’t too far.
In addition, Ye Ling’s new residence was quite far from Liu Lin’s. This was probably a deliberate arrangement made by village chief Sun Yi.
Ye Ling was now a pharmacy administrator, which gave her a more prestigious status than the ordinary educated youth. Consequently, the village had assigned her a two-person room.
Yu Huan looked at the empty bed opposite Ye Ling and said enviously, “There’s no one there. Doesn’t that mean you’re living alone in a room? Oh my god, I’m so envious!”
Ye Ling also thought that this treatment was quite good. It seemed that the position of being supported by the state was indeed different.
Ye Ling felt the importance of knowledge and skills. She had passed the selection test with her medical skills and improved her living conditions. Once she obtained her medical license, she would have more freedom and choices.
“Work hard.” Ye Ling thought. In this life, she was determined to change her fate through hard work! Ye Ling secretly clenched her fists.
Yu Huan helped Ye Ling make the bed. Min Nan and Wan Xue were men, so it wasn’t convenient for them to enter the educated young women’s dormitory. They stood under the big tree outside the dormitory building and waited.
Wan Xue squatted next to Min Nan and idly drew a bird on the ground with a branch.
“Brother Min Nan, when are you going to marry Sister Lingling? After you get married, Sister Lingling can stay in our house forever,” Wan Xue suddenly said.
The corner of Min Nan’s eye twitched as he looked at Wan Xue speechlessly.
Did this child think that marriage was a joke? He and Ye Ling weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend yet, so how could they get married? Not to mention that Ye Ling was not even 18 years old yet. She was still a few years away from the legal age for marriage!
“Marriage is a very serious matter. Don’t say such things in the future, understand?” Min Nan said.
“Alright then.” Wan Xue sighed disappointedly, his eyes dimmed.
Just as the two of them were waiting for Ye Ling and Yu Huan to come out, a few young female scholars walked over from not far away. The girls’ playful laughter was as pleasant as nightingales.
When they arrived at the dormitory building, they saw a man standing at the door-
One of the young female scholars widened her eyes. She could not take her eyes off Min Nan. A few seconds later, she suddenly grabbed the arm of the girl next to her. She said excitedly, “Xin Yan, is this your childhood friend’s neighbor? He came to see you?”
The girl named Xin Yan was tall and had fair skin. She was very beautiful. When she heard her roommate’s words, Xin Yan was stunned.
“No…” Xin Yan was about to deny it, but her roommate had already shouted excitedly at the man at the door, “Handsome, Xin Yan is here! Sorry to keep you waiting! ”
When Min Nan heard this, he did not realize that it was directed at him. It was only when he realized that there was no one else around that he looked at the young female scholar in confusion..
