"Youyou, don't talk nonsense when you get to Gu's house, okay?"

"There's no male owner in their house, so we just pretend we don't know."

"Okay, I won't talk nonsense, I promise."

Tong Youyou made a gesture to shut up and made a cross on her lips.

After she blurted out asking about Sister Fu Yu's family situation, she never dared to speak carelessly again.

One of the reasons why Song Fuyu chose the Gu family was that Fang Shulan was easy to get along with and had good character.

But another main reason is that the male head of their family is no longer around, so a certain degree of embarrassment can be avoided. After all, in this era, matters between men and women are taken very seriously.

If some rumors are accidentally spread, it may not be so harsh on men, but it will be a heavy blow to women. It is far from as free as it is in modern times.

The only male in the Gu family is Gu Yuan, an eight-year-old boy. The others are Fang Shulan and their two daughters.

The reason she knew this was thanks to the aunts in the village.

Throughout the day, people would come to see her working and find topics to chat with her, allowing her to learn a lot of gossip in the village while she was working.

When the two of them walked to the gate of Gu's yard, they saw Gu Yuan seemed to be repairing a small stool. He was squatting on the ground hammering and was very busy.

"Ayuan, is your mother home?"

Gu Yuan put down what he was holding and looked over.

Seeing that it was Song Fuyu and the others, he immediately stood up and helped them open the door.

"At home, please come in with me."

"Mom, Song Zhiqing and Tong Zhiqing are here."

When Fang Shulan heard Song Fuyu and the others coming, she quickly stood up.

"Xiaoying, pour two glasses of water for the sisters."

"Aunt Fang, don't bother, we don't want to drink water."

Although Song Fuyu refused, she still signaled her eldest daughter to go to the kitchen to pour some water. Although there was nothing delicious to treat them, it was still necessary to pour a glass of water as a basic courtesy of hospitality.

"Song Zhiqing, you came here so late, is there something going on?"

"It's like this, Aunt Fang, we decided to split up and cook together in the Youth League."

"Cooking together separately? Didn't I hear that you always ate together before? Why is it so sudden?"

"Oh, it's hard to put it into words."

She briefly told Aunt Fang what had happened in the past two days. After listening, Fang Shulan also understood why they had to cook separately.

With more than a dozen people together, all so young, conflicts are inevitable.

If we quarrel because of conflicts, and cracks and lumps are created in our hearts, it will be difficult to get back together.

"Then what about the few people you separated?"

"Look, I'm here with some food, and I want to ask if you're willing to take us in and let us eat with your family."

"But don't worry, we will only eat together for about half a month, and then we will start cooking on our own."

"In addition to the food, we also gave each person one dollar as money for vegetables and firewood."

Seeing that Aunt Fang's face was full of hesitation, Tong Youyou hurriedly used the coquettish skills that she used on her parents at home. She walked up to Fang Shulan, took her hand, and began to shake it non-stop.

"Aunt Fang, please agree. If you don't take us in, then Sister Fu Yu and I will really have nowhere to go."

"Sister Fu Yu accidentally broke her head earlier and is still recovering. We don't have a pot or even a clay pot, so we can't cook even if we want to."

"Can you please have mercy on us?"

She blinked her eyes and looked at Fang Shulan pitifully.

"Our family's conditions are relatively poor in the village. I'm worried that you won't be able to get used to our food."

"As long as you are willing to let us share the trip, we don't care about anything else."

"You don't have to make it difficult. You don't have to do anything special for us. Just do it the same way as your family did before."

"The steamed bread you asked Yuan to bring me the day before yesterday was very fragrant and delicious."

"If you don't mind, then come eat with us. You don't have to pay extra. Just bring food with you."

Although she said so, Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou not only left food but also gave an extra dollar each when they left.

We agreed to come to Gu’s house for dinner starting tomorrow morning.

On the other side, the three people led by the captain were far from being as relaxed and harmonious as them.

Either they complained that the educated youth were difficult to serve, or they complained that there was too little food and money.

There is absolutely no one who is willing to let three people eat at the same restaurant.

"Now only the three companies mentioned above are willing to accept you. You can choose for yourself."

The captain has already chosen to give up and let them decide for themselves.

In fact, they all had the same idea, which was to go to the captain's house for dinner, but Wang Zhiyong completely ignored them and simply ignored their gazes.

Out of desperation, Xiao Jun finally chose a family with only one son.

Because he is a boy, the other party has to charge two dollars every month, otherwise they will not agree.

Ye Feixue chose a family with four daughters and one son, while Mo Juan chose to eat with an old widow in the village whose husband had passed away many years ago.

When we returned to the room, the atmosphere among everyone had reached freezing point and the kerosene lamp had long been extinguished.

Song Fuyu turned on the flashlight, and he and Tong Youyou quickly washed up and climbed directly onto the kang.

She actually quite liked the current atmosphere. Although it was awkward, it was at least quiet.

"Sister Fu Yu, are you hungry?"

Tong Youyou asked softly in her ear.

"A little bit. Just bear with it. I've already brushed my teeth. I'll eat tomorrow morning."

"Okay, I'll bear with it."

"Hey, but I'm so hungry~"

Song Fuyu was also very hungry.

After working all afternoon, she didn't have any dinner. Although she had a lot of snacks, it was obviously not appropriate to take them out in the dark.

The evening had originally ended in a bad mood because of the issue of food. If we take out food now, who knows what new conflicts might arise.

For the sake of her ears, she had to endure it for one night.

She hopes that the supervisor, Captain Wang, can be more helpful and urge the villagers to finish building her house as soon as possible. She can't wait to move in.
