Chapter 275: Chapter 274 Many Bulls Flying in the Sky_1

Even though she had only known Jun Ruoxue for a short period of time, she felt unusually bonded with her.

The other party showed no trace of a young lady’s arrogance. Her forthright personality reminded her of a fellow student from her past life, eliciting an instinctual desire to befriend and trust her.

"Pan’er."

Qin Yi called out in a soft voice.

Su Pan’er turned her attention to Qin Yi, tilting her head to size him up from top to bottom.

His scrutiny made Qin Yi uncomfortable, and he couldn’t resist giving himself a once-over, finding nothing improper, and his face curved into a puzzled look.

"Pan’er, what are you looking at? Is there something wrong with me?"

"I’m trying to figure out what’s so charming about you that would convince both a deputy county magistrate and a county magistrate registrar to lower their identity to visit you."

"Of course! Your husband is both talented and handsome. Naturally, others would seek to invite him!"

Qin Yi crossed his arms in response, puffing out his chest with supreme confidence.

"Alright, alright! Look at you, even getting out of breath bragging about yourself. The melon seller always praises her own melons."

"This isn’t self-praise, this is self-confidence! Do you understand that?"

"..."

Su Pan’er did not respond, her eyes staring at the sky.

"What are you looking at?"

"The sky is dark!"

"Naturally, it gets dark when evening comes."

"I see many bulls flying in the sky."

"Where? How could bulls fly? You must have seen it wrong!"

"Why not? If people on the ground boast, wouldn’t bulls naturally appear in the sky?"

Su Pan’er replied seriously.

"..."

Qin Yi was speechless. Was this a dig at his bragging? He was simply stating the truth, alright?

"Fourth Sister, Fourth Brother-in-law, are you going to be a clerk in the county city?"

When the guests finally left, Ke’er, who had been hiding somewhere, ran out, admiringly looking at Qin Yi.

Qin Yi conveniently scooped him up.

"You little rascal, how come I didn’t see you at all during the meal, where did you hide all day?"

"Aunt Zhou said, since there were esteemed guests in the house, she told me to eat in the kitchen."

Ke’er’s eyes rolled around: "Fourth Brother-in-law, you didn’t answer, are you going to be a clerk in the county city?"

"What do you know about a clerk? Only making blind assertions. Hold him tight or he’ll fall." Su Pan’er scolded.

"Of course I know! Huh! Aunt Zhou told me a lot just now."

Ke’er look proud, "Aunt Zhou said, after the Fourth Brother-in-law works as a criminal record officer in the county government office, he just simply becomes an official! Naturally, it will be different from before! We must respect him when we see him."

Su Pan’er smiled slightly. In her memory, a clerk was an official so insignificant that they could be ignored. They didn’t even hold official status and could hardly be called officers.

But people’s perception here in this era had a significant deviation from hers towards clerks.

In this rural area, a clerk was regarded as a respectable position!

Su Pan’er had heard a saying from the villagers: "One official, two clerks, three priests, four Taoist, five medics, six workers, seven craftsmen, eight prostitutes, nine scholars, ten beggars".

A clerk’s position was on par with that of an official!

Government offices last as long as iron, but officials come and go like flowing water!

The officials in the county government office had a tenure of three years and had to leave once their term was up. But clerks were different!

There were more clerks in the government office than officials. Most of them were talented and good family background individuals selected locally to represent the government and deal with commoners. They also enjoyed the privilege of exemption from compulsory labor service. Furthermore, after serving for a certain number of years and passing an evaluation without any mistakes, they could get the opportunity to become officials.

For the rural people, there was nothing that could contest official status!

These clerks are actually quite like public servants in her previous life. Before her past life’s reform and opening up, public servants, known as iron rice bowls, were also pretty precious in the eyes of ordinary people.

Upon realizing this, Su Pan’er couldn’t help but chuckle a bit and teased Ke’er.

"Wow, you little rascal! You know quite a lot! Don’t forget, your fourth brother-in-law used to be an imperial scholar, but I don’t see you respecting him!"

While talking, she pulled Ke’er down from Qin Yi: "Stop talking nonsense here! Have you finished practicing those one hundred characters today? How can you learn anything if you only study every other day? Go and practice your writing properly."

"Alright, alright, bad Fourth Sister...huh."

This made Ke’er lower his head, sulking as he trudged away.

"This child, he’s still so young."

Su Pan’er shook her head helplessly.

"Ke’er is already very good, he can recite the Three Character Classic in such a short time. He’s much smarter than the average child."

Qin Yi suddenly stepped forward and took Su Pan’er’s hand: "How about we take a walk? We can check on the progress of our new house and pay a visit to Master Uncle Cheng."

Su Pan’er had no objections.

The two of them walked hand in hand, leisurely towards the back of the mountain.

At this point, the sky was gradually darkening and the farmers on the hillside had returned home.

Along the way, a cool breeze blew. Apart from the two of them, they didn’t encounter anyone else.

"Why didn’t you directly accept Hua County Official’s offer and instead said you needed to consider it for a few days? Is it because you’ve always wanted to make a name for yourself in the officialdom?"

Su Pan’er asked softly.

"Yes! Because I’ve always wanted to give you a happy home."

Qin Yi suddenly stopped, laughing!

He turned to look at her with a relaxed expression: "When I have a position, you won’t have to bear the burden of the family alone. You can also have the opportunity to live the life you wanted. I want to give you a chance to spread your wings, to realize your dreams."

In the past, I had a chronic illness and not only could not help you, but also held you back.

I know, your sky is vast and you will not settle here in this tiny, rural place. I want to accompany you to realize your dreams, I want to be the man by your side, I want to be in your heart.

Forever and always!

Before I can do all these, the first thing I need to do is enrich myself!

Give me a stage that suits me, and I will surely do my best!

Su Pan’er was astonished!

She looked into Qin Yi’s eyes.

His eyes were filled with sincerity and unspoken emotions that made her heart pound strongly, leaving her speechless for a while.

"You..."

After a long while, she lowered her head and spoke softly: "Then, please work hard on what you want to do! Don’t worry about the house. I’ll take care of things here."

Having said that, she was surprised at herself.

In the past, she always wanted to escape from here, to venture out and see the world.

To appreciate the beautiful natural scenery, the magnificent mountains and rivers, the splendid human landscape, and to taste all kinds of delicious food in the world.

But somehow, she had forgotten her dreams and simply wanted to live a peaceful life here with him, starting a family and building up their life together.
