"I'm not kidding you anymore. We've been out for quite a while already, and if we don't go back soon, they'll have endless gossip to tell us."
Gu Sinian held Su Ying tightly and wouldn't let go. The sweet and soft Su Ying lay so obediently in his arms, so intimate with him, that he thought he was dreaming.
Such a tender scene made it hard to let go. He just wanted to hold her a little longer, just a little longer. He buried his head in her shoulder, his voice a little hoarse.
"Don't worry. We're an engaged couple who're about to get married, they won't dare to gossip."
"If anyone dares to say anything I don't like, I'll beat them up right now to vent your anger, okay?"
Su Ying looked at Gu Sinian speechlessly; men always solved problems with their fists.
Su Ying was still worried. After all, her identity was sensitive, and it wouldn't be a good thing if someone found something wrong with her since she was new to the area.
She still has to stay in Willow Village for a long time, and she tries her best to be kind to people and doesn't want to cause too much unnecessary trouble.
Besides, Gu Jia's family background isn't good either, and he still has to stay in Willow Village. He should try to avoid things that can be avoided.
There's no need to offend people over those arguments. They're all outsiders, so it's best to be careful with your words and actions to live peacefully in Willow Tree Village.
"But...but...don't you still have to go to work? Can you not go? What if someone uses this as leverage to make things difficult for you because you didn't go to work?"
Gu Sinian touched Su Ying's face with both hands, then pulled her into his arms to comfort her, "Don't worry. I have my own plans."
"How about I stay with you in the space today? Anyway, no one can see us here, so we can stay as long as we want. I have my own ways to shut them up, so don't worry."
Su Ying looked at Gu Sinian with suspicion, "Then why does Sun Xuelin have to go to work? Are you sure you can skip it? Won't someone use it against you?"
Gu Sinian suddenly smiled. The little girl still cared about him, which made him feel extremely happy.
"After getting married, his sense of responsibility increased. Besides, he has a wife and son to support, so the pressure is a little bit greater. Willow Tree Village isn't doing well, and if he doesn't work hard, the children won't have anything to eat. Going hungry is no fun..."
Yes, she's really hungry right now, and she's feeling quite uncomfortable.
Su Ying was very surprised. In later generations, Dongshi was a very fertile area and a model area for poverty alleviation. How could it be so poor in the 1960s, where even having enough to eat was a luxury?
That shouldn't be the case. Although she's only assigned the task of going up the mountain tomorrow, Willow Village has many willow trees and fruit trees on the mountain. How could they not have enough to eat?
It's a little strange.
We'll have to go up the mountain ourselves tomorrow to find out exactly what's going on.
Perhaps they can find the key to help Liushu Village get rich and prosperous, so that every villager can have enough to eat and no longer have to suffer from hunger.
She's a capitalist's daughter, and she's learned a lot about business from a young age, which might come in handy in Willow Village.
As long as we get through this special period and wait for the reform and opening up, everyone's lives will get better.
She can also make a fortune by doing business when that time comes.
But thinking about it carefully, that doesn't make sense. She already has more money than she can spend, so why would she need to get rich?
There's no answer to this question yet; let's wait until the reform and opening up arrive. Right now, she just wants to enjoy her present life.
How does Willow Tree Village generate income?
"Damn it..."
Before Gu Sinian could finish speaking, Su Ying's stomach started growling inconveniently.
Su Ying touched her flat belly shyly, feeling incredibly embarrassed. She pointed to her stomach and said playfully, "It's hungry."
Gu Sinian just wanted to laugh. The little girl could be quite cute sometimes. He said indulgently, "Isn't it your belly? Isn't it part of your body?"
"I'm not going to argue with you anymore. I only ate two steamed buns this morning and a cornbread for lunch. That's all I ate. It's normal to be hungry."
Actually, she had already eaten all the cooked food in the space, and since she didn't know how to cook even with the supplies, she came up with the idea of luring Gu Sinian into the space to cook for her.
It's normal to be hungry now, after all, one steamed bun isn't enough to fill you up. All she wants now is fragrant rice and hot dishes.
"I ate two steamed buns for breakfast and only one cornbread for lunch. It wasn't enough to fill me up. I wanted to get some food from my space, but it's not convenient with people coming and going."
"The most important thing is that I've already eaten all the cooked food, and there's nothing left except sugar."
"You can't keep eating sweets when you're hungry, it's too cloying."
"Okay. I'll cook for you in a bit." Gu Sinian reminded her, "The things about the space are too strange. You're not allowed to tell anyone except me, understand?"
Su Ying nodded repeatedly, "I remember. I remember. Don't worry, I'm not stupid, how could I tell someone such an important thing?"
"I'm not tired of living, so why would I let people from the research institute study me?"
"You know the importance of this matter; human nature cannot withstand the test."
Does that include you?
"I will never betray you."
"He truly is my man."
Su Ying was so happy to say that he was her man that her mouth was practically stretched to her ears.
"Aren't you hungry? There's so much delicious food in the space. Let's leave the space first and then go into the mountains. There are cooking utensils I've hidden there, and I'll make you something delicious."
"Why go through all this trouble? We can just do it in the space. Why go all the way up the mountain?"
"To avoid others finding out we're cooking and eating."
