The next day.

After washing up in the morning, Song Fuyu and Tong Youyou went directly to Gu's house.

Song Fuyu felt that her mood had improved a lot since she no longer had to see the people who made her unhappy while eating.

Little did she know that the old educated youth in the Youth League Institute felt the same as she did at this moment.

"Ayuan, good morning~"

When Gu Yuan got up in the morning, the first thing he did was to open the door to the yard.

After washing his face, he stood in the yard, looking out.

Until he saw the figures of Song Fuyu and the others, he quickly squatted down and pretended to be busy.

"Why are you here so late? My mother has already prepared the meal and is waiting for you two."

After saying that, he turned and went into the house with a faint smile on his face.

Tong Youyou had never had any contact with Gu Yuan before. When she saw him turning around, she hurriedly ran after him.

"You little brat, why don't you call us sister when you see us?"

She grabbed Gu Yuan, gently pinched both sides of his face, and kept rubbing them.

What she wanted most was for her parents to give her a younger brother or sister, but this never happened.

No matter how she acted like a spoiled brat, her mother told her that having only two children, her and her brother, was enough for the family.

When she was in school, she was always the youngest in the class.

Unexpectedly, she was the youngest among the educated youth sent to the countryside.

When she saw Gu Yuan last night, she really wanted him to call her sister.

"I won't."

Gu Yuan pried her hands apart and shrunk directly onto the kang, a blush slowly rising on his face.

"Ayuan, don't be rude."

"Hmph~"

"Tong Zhiqing, don't pay attention to him. He just has this awkward personality. He is actually shy."

"It looks like I don't welcome you, but in fact, I've been standing at the entrance of the yard waiting for you two since early morning."

"Mom, don't talk nonsense. Who waited for them? I didn't."

When Gu Yuanjian was exposed by his own mother, he turned away in embarrassment and faced away from them.

"Okay, okay, it's not you, it's me, okay?"

"Go to the kitchen and help bring out the food. It's time for dinner."

Breakfast was multi-grain porridge and a small plate of pickles, with two boiled eggs on the side.

After they sat down, Fang Shulan placed two boiled eggs next to their bowls.

"Aunt Fang, you are too polite."

"We only gave one dollar each, how can we eat your eggs?"

In rural families of that era, eggs were very precious items in the home, second only to meat.

Usually people are reluctant to eat them, so they save them and secretly exchange them for other things on the black market.

"Eat, you're welcome. This is your first time eating at our house, so we don't have anything good to treat you."

Seeing that Song Fuyu and the others still didn't want to eat, Fang Shulan continued, "Don't worry, it's just today. There will be nothing left tomorrow morning."

"Okay, then don't give us special treatment next time."

Although he accepted the eggs, he did not eat them himself, but divided them into two halves.

Half was put into the bowl of Gu Ying, the ten-year-old eldest daughter of the Gu family, and the other half was given to Gu Die, the five-year-old youngest daughter.

"Ayuan, ladies first. I'll give it to you next time I have it."

“I don’t like eggs.”

After saying that, he lowered his head and started drinking porridge.

"I have some here. I'll share it with my brother Yuan."

Tong Youyou quickly broke the egg into two halves and put one half in Gu Yuan's bowl.

Looking at the other half in my hand, I didn’t know who to give it to.

"You can eat the remaining half by yourself. You are the youngest here besides the siblings."

Fang Shulan felt a little sorry when she saw Song Fuyu dividing the eggs, but she didn't say anything more. She just asked them to eat quickly.

The village chief really had not forgotten what she did yesterday, and he was obviously much more relaxed at work today.

The scene of yesterday no longer appeared on the ridge of the field nearby.

She quickened the pace of weeding, trying to finish work early in the afternoon and go to the mountain.

Although nothing extra was cooked for lunch, Song Fuyu could feel that some rice was added to the brown rice.

Hey, Aunt Fang is actually quite serious.

But at least it makes people feel much more comfortable than unilaterally deducting money from them.

Unlike how they were treated in the Gu family, the other three people who were separated did not receive such good treatment at all.

Xiao Jun was lucky because there were only three people in that family besides him.

There are few people in the family, and they are all of working age, so they have much more food to eat than families with many children.

But the situations of Mo Juan and Ye Feixue were not entirely what they wanted.

The only person living in the family that Mo Juan had dinner with was the widow named Wu.

It can't be said that she was not good to Mo Juan.

The main reason was that she lived alone, was over 50 years old, and could not earn many work points. Therefore, she would save as much as possible on food.

Mo Juan ate with her, so she just multiplied the amount she usually ate by twice.

The worst one was Ye Feixue.

The family she lived with was surnamed Liu. In addition to the couple and their five children, there was also an elderly pair of parents living above them.

With such a large family, and a family that loves to skimp on their daughter's food, Ye Feixue is a girl, and even though she brought her own food, she could only get half a bowl of porridge.

Although she was dissatisfied, she didn't dare to say anything.

If she showed any sign of anger, the family would most likely kick her out.

Until I find a buyer, I can only stay in the Liu family for the time being.

I thought I would go to the mountain after work.

Song Fuyu's weeding speed in the afternoon was much faster than in the morning.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, she had finished working on the field allocated to her.

"Song Zhiqing, did you finish it by yourself?"

Wang Xiaoshan looked in disbelief at Song Fuyu who was coming to find him.

This lesbian is so amazing.

After checking, he directly gave her eight work points.

"Song Zhiqing, at your current rate, if you work hard today, you can probably earn another two or three work points."

"Brother Wang, that's all for today. I have something else to do and need to leave work first."

She first went to say something to Tong Youyou, and then went straight to the mountain.

Wang Xiaoshan looked at Song Fuyu's receding back and thought that he should talk to his father in the evening and ask him to assign Song Zhiqing a job worth full work points the next day.

The reason I came to the mountain today is to dig two traps and try to catch some wild animals.

I have been in the countryside for a few days, but I haven't tasted meat yet.

Now that I have been separated from the Youth League Home, I naturally have to reward my stomach.

Although she had a lot of meat in her space, it was not convenient to take it out for the time being. She would wait until the next time she went to town.

I found a relatively flat spot on the mountain, took out the shovel I used to dig for treasure last time, and started working.

It took about forty minutes to finally dig the first pit.

He went to another place a little further away and dug a pit of the same depth, which was slightly larger than the first one.

Some dry firewood was placed on both pits as camouflage, and then some fallen leaves were laid on them.

After setting the two traps, she brushed the dirt off her body.

She had never done anything like this before, let alone dug any traps.

But she had the spiritual spring in her hand, so as long as she sprinkled some spiritual spring water on the fallen leaves, she would not have to worry about nothing falling in.

After everything was done, Song Fuyu nodded with satisfaction.

In order to prevent any wild animals from appearing, she quickly went down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, I ran into Jin Kai who was about to go up the mountain.

Before she could raise her hand to say hello, Jin Kai turned around and ran away as if he had seen a ghost.

Is she that scary?
