He promised her that he would come back.

Days continued to pass.

After some days, the Shuang Shan primary school, built with the collective effort of the entire brigade, was finally completed.

The adults who initially grumbled about the cost no longer felt the pinch; pride was the only thing left in their hearts as they gazed at the bright and clean classrooms.

"We actually managed to build a school for the kids. I had never imagined this day would come!"

Everyone's gaze was fixated on the classroom; they scarcely blinked.

"Isn't that the truth? We missed out, but it's good enough that our children have this chance."

"Having a school in the village is so convenient. We don't have to send them off anymore, one less thing to worry about..."

...

The villagers were happy, and the educated youth who learned the village school was hiring teachers were even more ecstatic.

The usually composed Zhu Lan got excited, "Did you all hear? The brigade is hiring teachers!"

Yu Feiyang and the others were startled.
