The children went to Gujia Village to play, and Gu Chun finally had a peaceful life.
In the past, when there were many people around, I felt that the house was too small. Now that I am the only one left, I feel that these two rooms are so empty.
Once you’ve experienced life with a family, you can never go back to the solitary life of your previous life.
Every family in this compound is bustling with activity, except theirs and the Song family next door, which are quiet all day long.
Gu Chun was very interested in this highly educated family, and she even wanted to study on her own to prepare for next year's exam.
I just want to build a good relationship with my neighbors so that I can ask the two teachers if I have any questions.
She steamed some mung beans, mashed them, added sugar and glutinous rice flour. Since she didn't have a mold, she used her hands to shape them and made some mung bean cakes.
I took a plate and gave it to Aunt Guo.
She has always been very kind to Gu Chun, caring about her like her own elder.
At that time, the idiot from the Tang family wanted to force her to marry him. Although she was just stalling for time and waiting for the police to come, Aunt Guo didn't know her plan.
She bravely blocked it for her and was even pushed down.
I am grateful for Aunt Guo’s kindness. She always gives me some of the delicious food she makes.
Aunt Guo also liked the mung bean cake very much and kept praising her as if she was making some five-star dish.
I have to say that women still like to be praised, and Gu Chun was in a very good mood.
Humming a song, he filled another plate and took it to the Song family.
After knocking on the door, Shen Qing opened it and was slightly surprised to see that it was Gu Chun.
“Hello, Aunt Shen, this is the mung bean cake I just made. I’ll give you some to try.”
Shen Qing enthusiastically pulled her in to sit down, "Hey, why are you so polite, kid? Come in and sit for a while."
Gu Chun went in and saw that their living room was well decorated. There was a table with tea sets on it and a small clay stove.
Boiling tea around the fire, he is indeed a cultured person.
"You're drinking tea, that's perfect. Try the mung bean cake I made."
Song Guoan was discussing books with his son when he saw Gu Chun come in and quickly welcomed him warmly.
"Hello, little comrade, come and sit down."
After pouring a cup of tea for Gu Chun, the three of them picked up a piece of mung bean cake to eat.
When Song Yunzheng saw her come in, he immediately looked behind her.
Gu Chun realized it keenly, "Is Yun Zheng looking for Gu Qiu? She's not at home recently."
Song Yunzheng was embarrassed and angry at being seen through. His ears began to turn red. He lowered his head and said, "No."
But in my heart I really want to know why Gu Qiu is not at home.
Fortunately, his mother was a good mother who understood her son's feelings and asked:
"Where is your Gu Qiu? And your other children, I haven't seen them in the past few days."
Gu Chun smiled and said, "We went to visit my uncle's house in the countryside. They had nothing to do during the summer vacation. They were almost crazy from reading books at home every day, so I sent them to the countryside to see the natural scenery."
Shen Qing nodded, feeling that she spoke like a great parent.
They already knew her background, so they didn't ask her parents such offensive questions.
After drinking a few cups of tea with the three members of the Song family, Gu Chun left. Before leaving, he invited Song Yunzheng to visit his home when he had time.
After closing the door, Shen Qing nudged his son's elbow and said, "Son, I think the Gu family is a good family. They are all very polite. You can go and interact with them more."
Song Yunzheng nodded and said nothing.
Seeing that his son was embarrassed, Song Guoan changed the subject with his wife and talked about the meeting they had recently attended to discuss the resumption of the college entrance examination.
As for Gu Chun, he went home and took out the royalties that the editor had sent him today.
Now her royalties have increased dramatically, and this time the envelope was much thicker. When she opened it, there were three hundred yuan inside.
He flicked the stack of unity notes with his fingers and felt very happy.
She now has more than three thousand in savings, not to mention the subsidies she will receive for college, which is more than enough to support the family.
However, she wanted to start a business when she was free, so she had to save some money to have some starting capital.
Today, the editor drove over, personally handed her the manuscript fee, and talked to her for a while about the deletions and revisions to the next issue's manuscript.
Her next article was titled "What is Reputation," based on her own and Huang Xiuxiu's experiences.
The editor thought that some of the sentences in it were not suitable for the context of this era and needed her to revise them.
In fact, she was so excited after writing these things that she forgot to hide her thoughts from the future world.
She hopes that this article will awaken some girls after it is published in the newspaper.
Sometimes reputation is not more important than your own life.
What she didn't know was that her own reputation would also be damaged...

In Gujia Village, Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu learned from Gu Xia how to identify honeysuckle, distinguish between flowering and non-flowering ones, and finally how to process the herbs.
In just two days, they dried out more than ten kilograms of honeysuckle, most of which had not yet bloomed.
This time, Uncle Gu took it to the purchasing station to sell it himself.
They made ten dollars. Last year, their entire year's profit was less than a hundred dollars, but this time they made ten dollars in just a few days.
He was so happy that he brought back five candied haws when he came back.
Little Bamboo cheered: "Wow, there are candied haws to eat."
Seeing that there was still some for her, the aunt was very embarrassed in front of the children, "Oh, how can a grown-up like me eat candied haws?"
Uncle Gu smiled and said, "It's okay, I just bought it for you to eat. Come on and eat it."
Little Bamboo was spinning around with the candied haws in his hand, looking very happy.
"Brother, I want to share it with Qinghai, okay?"
