"Sister, I can just live in the educated youth camp. There's no need to ask for a special home. But I haven't been to your home in Peijiagou yet."
Fu Yu didn't want to live in his sister's house. He knew that the team leader was his sister's father-in-law, and he didn't want his sister to be gossiped about.
"You've never been there, so it's a good time to go take a look. My mother-in-law has already cleaned up the house. If you see someone, remember to call someone. You'd better not live in the educated youth camp! If you see an educated youth named Li Xiangyang, stay away from him. If you can, don't live there."
Gu Qingmeng was not willing to talk about Li Xiangyang's affairs. She knew that even without her saying anything, someone in the village would tell them!
"Sister, can I live with Fu Yu? I'll pay the rent." Yang Guilai asked with his hand raised.
"Sister, I also want to live with them. Can I stay at your house? I'll pay rent too." Mingzhu was unwilling to fall behind.
Sister Qingmeng said she wouldn't live at the educated youth camp. There must be something going on there that's hard to talk about! How clever of her! If she takes this opportunity to live with Fu Yu, then can they get engaged? And even get married?
Now that she has her own household registration, it is easy for her to get married without having to tell her parents.
"Mingzhu, you little girl, do you have any shame? Guilai and I can live together. We are grown men and there will be no gossip. What will it look like for you to live with us? You will be drowned in spit!"
Fu Yu held his forehead. How come he was assigned to the same group as Mingzhu? If he had known that he would not tell her where he was going to the countryside when she asked him,
He really didn't expect that this girl would go to the countryside with him.
"I don't mind, but it would be better if you could get engaged to me, so that no one would say anything about me."
Mingzhu rubbed the ground with her toes and kept glancing at Fu Yu.
"Isn't there anyone gossiping about an engagement? Have you ever seen an engaged couple living together?" Fu Yu was so angry that he was confused. Why did he continue to say this? He quickly changed the subject: "What do you mean by engagement or not? You can't live with us. I will rent you a reliable house."
"I don't care about reputation." Mingzhu muttered softly.
"What did you say? Say it again, Mingzhu, if you're like this, you should hurry back to Jing City. I think your family can easily get you back."
Fu Yu quickly went out to wash his face so that he could go crazy when he stayed with Mingzhu.
Gu Qingmeng saw her cousin washing his face. She smiled and said, "You and Xiaoyu are classmates. If you want to live at home, go and live with him. Don't mention the rent. There are some families in Mingzhu Village who have vacant rooms. Ask the team leader to help you find a suitable one."
Gu Qingmeng knew that Fu Yu must have a good relationship with them since he brought them home! She didn't mind the few dollars in rent, and she felt more at ease having someone living with her cousin.
"Mr. Fu, sure! Can we drink at your wedding soon?" Gu Guoliang ran to Fu Yu with a cheeky look on his face. He did it on purpose to irritate him.
"A girl's reputation is very important! She has even given up her reputation for you. Do you want to consider marrying her?" Pei Guoqing also followed suit to persuade her.
"You two deserve a beating, don't you? What right do you have to interfere in my affairs?" Fu Yu beat, scolded, and confronted everyone except Gu Qingmeng without a good face.
He didn't do anything because Gu Qingmeng was there, otherwise if anyone else dared to say this to him, he would have to fight.
"Xiaoyu is ready to eat. Guodong, Guoqing, and Guoliang, come over and eat too."
Gu Qingmeng prepared two simple cold dishes: smashed cucumbers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and freshly roasted pork belly.
She didn't eat lunch, so she went to the backyard to pack a roasted rabbit and three strips of pork belly, which she had just cut, and then packed one for Fu Yu to eat in the evening.
This year, her eldest uncle, second uncle, and grandfather sent her a lot of things. Every time she sent something back, they would definitely send more next time!
Now that her cousin is here, she can take care of things herself, and she is actually very happy.
Her biggest wish is that her family is safe. Her grandfather and father have now integrated well into current life.
Since Peijiagou bought a tractor, Pei Xinghe has found ways for the village to make money, one is medicinal herbs from the mountains, and the other is breeding in the village.
The most popular animals raised in the village now are ducks and rabbits. Ducks can forage in the river and do not need to be fed too much grain, while rabbits are more likely to eat grass and vegetables, which are not in short supply in the village.
Duck eggs can be sent to the supply and marketing cooperative, which also accepts ducks and rabbits. However, the price offered by Pei Xinghe’s factory is higher, so they are sold to the factory first.
After Fu Yu finished his meal, he saw that his sister had packed out a lot of things, and he was overwhelmed. While eating, he heard Pei Guoqing muttering about the food his sister had prepared for him. She had prepared it for two days.
The biscuits and shortbreads were all made by his sister herself, and now she is giving him food. How could he be so kind as to accept it?
"Sister, I don't want the food! My parents gave me food coupons, and the village will give us rations."
How could Gu Qingmeng not know what his uncle was planning? Both father and son were stubborn people. His uncle asked Fu Yu to join the army, but Fu Yu refused and directly signed up to go to the countryside. How could his uncle still give him money and tickets?
Absolutely impossible! Just wait for him to give in!
Gu Qingmeng didn't think the army was the only way out. Fu Yu didn't want to go, and even if he forced himself to go, he wouldn't be able to do well. It would be just right for him to stay in the countryside for a few years to temper his temper and take the college entrance examination in a few years.
"The food in the village is all black flour and coarse grains. Can you eat it? I know what kind of character my uncle is. Take the food back. I have to go out tomorrow. I will bring you some food when I come back in a few days."
Gu Qingmeng remembered that she had never eaten black noodles and sweet potato noodles in Beijing, and it was even more impossible for her cousin to have eaten them. The coarsest grain they ate was cornmeal.
"He must have told you to leave me alone!" Fu Yu muttered.
