"I'm not going to be stupid."

Peng Shiyu retorted with a grin, "I just didn't react for a moment."

These female educated youths are really something else! They've only been in the countryside for a couple of days and they've already got their eyes on other male educated youths. I really don't know if they came to the countryside to build a new socialist countryside or to get married.

This remark amused everyone present.

Everyone talked for a while.

“Qiuyue, since everyone has this idea, why don’t we ask the village chief to allocate a base for you all, and then ask Uncle Jianguo in the village for help?”

Lin Jingyu then suggested, "Now that it's winter, everyone has less to do, and there are many idle people in the village. Maybe the houses of all of you can start construction together."

You can move in then and celebrate the New Year together, then you won't have to squeeze in with those other people.

"That's right, that's right."

Yang Shujue wholeheartedly agreed, "Qiuyue, move out as soon as possible, otherwise you won't be able to get any good food. These people have no shame; it's no different from robbery."

"yes."

Mu Qiuyue smiled bitterly, "After the cured meat we made last time was all snatched up, we dared not make any more delicious food, lest we not be able to eat a single piece and still get the blame."

Not only did they complain that we didn't put enough cured meat in the dish, but they also said that I looked down on them for not telling them when there was something delicious to eat.

I've had enough, anyway, and I don't want to live with them anymore.

"Puff~"

Chen Xinyue couldn't help but chuckle.

When she smiled, everyone smiled along with her.

For a moment, the living room in the courtyard was filled with joyful laughter.

"We've known each other for over half a year, so we get to know each other quite well."

Lin Jingyu said softly, "If you need anything, just let us know. After all, it's not easy for any of us to go to the countryside."

We'll try our best to help with anything we can.

"Yes, Akizuki."

Yang Shujue then said, "We know each other well, so we're willing to help you. As for the others, forget about it."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Mu Qiuyue understood what they meant, and gratitude appeared in her eyes.

That night.

Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu secretly went to the cowshed.

"Third Grandfather, Grandpa Sun."

"Grandpa Sun, Third Grandpa."

At a glance, I saw two people warming themselves around the stove.

Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu greeted each other at the same time.

"The two girls are here."

Master Liu nodded to them.

Seeing them carrying baskets and quilts, I couldn't help but tease them, "Did you two move here?"

"Third Grandpa was joking."

Lin Jingyu responded with a smile, "I went to the county town today and bought some things to bring back to you and Grandpa Sun."

"The weather is getting colder and colder."

Peng Shiyu put down the things she was carrying and the basket on her back. "Grandpa Sun didn't bring anything with him, so we bought some things on the way back."

"You've gone to too much trouble."

Grandpa Sun sighed softly.

His gaze toward Lin Jingyu and Peng Shiyu was gentle.

He was able to save his life this time mainly because of these kind young girls.

Now, not only has he survived, but he's also living a pretty good life.

He doesn't have to worry about food, clothing, shelter, or transportation. Apart from doing some dirty work for outsiders to see, he feels that he can just retire here.

"Grandpa Sun, these things aren't worth much."

Lin Jingyu smiled and took over the conversation, "I bought hot water bottles for you and Third Grandfather. If your feet feel cold at night, you can put them next to your feet to warm them up."

As they talked, they took things out of the basket. “This is a thin blanket, it won’t be so cold when you put it on the bed. This military overcoat is for you to wear, you can cover yourself with it when it’s cold at night.”

I brought several sets of these sweaters and pants. Grandpa and Grandpa Sun, please choose the colors and styles you like.

Grandpa Sun, don't worry about what people say. You can wear it underneath without worry. No one can check what clothes you're wearing.

Oh, right.

I've gotten you some frostbite ointment; applying it once or twice will help heal frostbitten wounds."

They suddenly pulled out a whole bunch of things.

Uncle Liu and Old Master Sun were at a loss for words.

"These are all good things."

Grandpa Sun sighed again, "Where did you girls get so many things? These things must be expensive."

"Don't worry, Grandpa Sun, we have people in our county."

Peng Shiyu smiled brightly, "Besides, money is meant to be used. Of course, it should be used when needed. There's no reason to leave money unused while you go hungry and cold."

Only a fool would do something like that, don't you think?

"You girl."

Grandpa Sun couldn't help but smile.

"Brother, we don't need to be so polite with the little girl."

Grandpa Liu said calmly, "It's our blessing that the children are willing to be filial to us old folks. If anything really happens in the future, we old men will take care of them and make sure they don't suffer any losses."

"That's true."

Grandpa Sun understood what he meant.

Finally, he didn't say anything more.

Watching the two girls busily put things away.

By observing her under the light of the oil lamp, I noticed an unusual color between Peng Shiyu's eyebrows.

The old man frowned and asked, "Girl, what happened to you in the county town?"

Peng Shiyu looked surprised. "Grandpa Sun, how did you know we ran into trouble in the county town?"

"You should be frightened."

Grandpa Sun said with a resolute expression, "Your heart is still shaken, and your mind is weak. You'll probably have nightmares tonight, and if it gets worse, you might fall ill tomorrow."
