On Xu Luyao and Ge Qiuze's side.
Zhou Yian guessed correctly, Ge Qiuze did take the seven educated youths home for dinner.
After all, Zhou Yian and his friends had dinner at the village chief's house on their first day. They should be treated equally. It is not right to say that the educated youth who went to the countryside were not even provided with a meal.
Even when it comes to food, we treat everyone equally.
There were some hoarse multi-grain steamed buns with wild vegetables and eggs. To be honest, when Zhou Yian learned what other people in the village ate, he realized that the food at the village chief's house was not bad.
Of course, it can’t be compared with those in the city. For example, some people who have a fixed salary will definitely eat better.
The original owner’s family usually ate two-piece noodles.
So it was normal for several educated youth to have a hard time eating.
But if the person looks disgusted and doesn't want to eat, who can stand that? Aunt Sun felt a pang of jealousy when she saw that.
It’s okay if you don’t bring a gift when you visit them for dinner on the first day, as they don’t lack anything at home.
But when she came home to take a shower or eat, she acted like a big boss, always bossing people around. Among the girls, the one called Hu Yue was a little sweet, but she still couldn't stand her subtle city-dwelling manners.
Aunt Sun sighed inwardly. She had originally wanted to find a wife like Zhou Zhiqing for her third son, who was educated and capable. Although he was not very good at farm work, he had a good attitude. Their family could afford to support someone who was not good at farm work. But in the end, she couldn't find anyone who was half as good as him.
What should I do about this marriage?
"You can move freely tomorrow and go to the county to buy things. As for food, you can buy it yourself, or you can borrow food from us on credit with work points. But we can only borrow coarse grains, so you can think about it yourself." Aunt Sun said.
"What about the ox cart?" Qian Tu asked, "Are we going to the county tomorrow?"
"The cows have to work in the fields tomorrow, so I can't pick you up."
There was a buzz of discussion. Without a bullock cart, it would not be an easy task to walk back and forth across such a long distance today.
Hu Yue was still very resourceful. "It's really hard to get things without a bullock cart. Auntie, can you lend us that bicycle outside? We will send two representatives to the county to buy things."
"This bicycle was bought by my third son. If you need it, ask him."
The educated youth all looked at Ge Qiuze.
He was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay."
This made Aunt Sun look at him twice. Something was wrong. In order to prevent villagers from borrowing cars frequently, they said it would cost 50 cents per loan, which caused people to talk about it.
Why don't you mention the price this time?
It was my father-in-law's decision to let the educated youth have a meal, so Ge Qing's sister-in-law Liu Dan couldn't say much.
But Zhou Zhiqing and his friends were not so picky about bicycles and bathing; they paid for them.
Their firewood didn't fall from the sky; it was chopped with great effort.
But the money for the bicycle had always been given to her brother-in-law, and she didn't get any, so she couldn't say much.
In fact, the educated youth had thought it would be best to give money, but no one was willing to bring it up among the educated youth. What if they were asked to pay later?
After they left the courtyard, Hu Yue took Xu Luyao's hand and whispered to her, "Luyao, I suddenly remembered that we need to take a shower and borrow a car. Wouldn't it be bad if we didn't pay for it?"
"Is that so?" Xu Luyao was stunned.
"After all, we have to look at the faces of the village chief and others here. It would not be good to take advantage of them," Hu Yue added.
"You're right." Xu Luyao nodded and took money from her pocket. "Is five dollars enough?"
Hu Yue took it with a smile, "That's enough. Since your legs are tired and it's inconvenient, I'll help you carry it in."
Hu Yue walked into the yard again. Village Chief Ge and Aunt Sun had already entered the inner room, and Ge Qing's second sister-in-law He Chuntong also went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
Only Liu Dan boasted that she was good-looking and had given birth to two boys for the Ge family. She was very confident and sat in the main hall.
Hu Yue came in and saw that Aunt Sun was not there. She didn't want to call her out, so she just handed it to Liu Dan. "I just forgot about it. You can't eat for free and borrow your bicycle for free. These two dollars are our little token of appreciation."
Liu Dan immediately smiled and said, "I feel so embarrassed." But he took the money.
After a few words, Hu Yue left.
Liu Dan took the money and went into the inner room. "Mom, this is what Hu Zhiqing just brought over. He said it's hard work pay."
I handed over one dollar and fifty cents.
Aunt Sun confiscated it, but she felt a little better. "Give the 50 cents to the third brother. The bicycle rental fee is his rule. The rest, you return to the educated youth tomorrow when they come to borrow bicycles."
"Not accepting?"
"Why charge such a small amount of money? It's ruining your reputation for nothing," Aunt Sun said. "Did Zhou Zhiqing and the others pay you back last time?"
Last time, Zhou Yian and the others ran too fast, so Liu Dan volunteered to return it the next day.
"I have. Got it, Mom," Liu Dan nodded. "I'll return it to Hu Zhiqing tomorrow."
"Okay, then you should go and rest too."
Hu Yue also came out and trotted along.
"Where did Comrade Hu go just now?" Qian Tu asked when he saw her jogging over.
"I went to give money to the village chief's house. We are eating and drinking here, so it would not be nice if they didn't give me any money." Hu Yue smiled.
"Comrade Hu has thought it through carefully." Qian Tu replied that as long as he doesn't have to pay, it will be fine.
The other educated youth also responded.
"So who should we choose to go shopping in the county tomorrow?"
Hu Yue had an idea about this. "Let Luyao go to the county tomorrow. We're going to till the soil and plant vegetables tomorrow, which Luyao isn't very good at."
Who is good at growing vegetables? Qian Tu and Zhang Guoan thought to themselves, but after all, they had just accepted the money from Hu Yue, so they had to swallow it.
Seeing that no one was talking, Hu Yue continued, "It's best for a man and a woman to go shopping together. The woman should be more careful, and the man can take things."
