Now that Uncle San has said those words, they can restrain themselves a bit.
Zhang Guihua saw a group of people standing at the door and shouted, "It's time to eat, come back quickly."
"Grandma, this is fish we grilled by the river. Auntie said it could be an extra dish for the family," Qin Tao said, holding the still-warm fish in her hands.
Zhang Guihua accepted the fish with a smile, glanced at the fish in Qin Tao's hand, which were less than the size of her palm and numbered eight or nine. They could indeed be considered a dish, and her smile deepened.
She smiled at Yunling and said kindly, "Third brother's wife is good; she cares about the family. Xiaotao and Xiaoyanzi are also very sensible."
Before the three boys got married, they often roasted sparrows outside and would occasionally bring some back. That was many years ago. In the blink of an eye, the children have grown up so much.
Zhang Guihua found a clean plate, placed several small fish in the center, and gave one to each of the children and Yunling. There were five fish left on the plate.
Liu Yun's face lit up with a smile when she saw the fish on the table. She said, "When did Mom cook fish? It looks delicious."
Zhang Guihua said with a smile, "It's all because the children are sensible and the third son's wife is filial. She went through a lot of trouble to cook the fish on the riverbank, but she couldn't bear to eat it and brought it back specially."
She broke up the remaining fish and gave each person a small piece.
Liu Yun glanced at Qin Tao and chimed in, "Our little Tao has been filial since she was a child. Whenever she has something delicious to eat outside, she brings it back to show her respect to her mother."
She treated her mother-in-law better than her own mother, which made me feel a little sour.
Looking at the fish on the table, I thought how great it would be if I had secretly brought it back so that my family could have eaten more. But if I gave it to my mother-in-law, I would only get a few words of praise. It would be such a waste.
How stupid!
Zhang Guihua gave Liu Yun a meaningful look, which made Liu Yun feel uneasy, wondering which sentence he had said wrong.
Seeing his third son's wife's amused expression, Qin Baoguo coughed and said, "Hurry up and eat, or the food will get cold, and the fish will feel greasy when it's cold."
The children were busy eating the fish. The fish was small and had many bones, but having something to eat was better than nothing, and no one complained. They all ate with great relish.
Dinner was sweet potato porridge. The sweet potatoes in it were soft, sticky, and sweet. Yunling finished it quickly and took a sip of the porridge. It had a light sweetness from the sweet potatoes and tasted quite good.
After finishing her meal, Yunling made an excuse to go for a stroll outside. She found a secluded corner, secretly ate some beef jerky, and glanced at the still lively chicken in her space. It was plump and looked like it had a lot of meat. She thought that if it were roasted, it would be so juicy and delicious.
She frowned and asked in confusion, "This chicken isn't eating or drinking, so how come it's not dead or thinner?"
He didn't steal any of her beef jerky either.
Items awarded by the system will appear exactly the same way they are when stored in your inventory and taken out.
She closed her system inventory; it had been a long time since she'd received a gossip-eating quest. She asked wistfully, "When will quests be posted?"
System: [When triggered.]
"How am I supposed to know when it will trigger?" Yunling was getting frustrated. She wanted to save up more food. Her backpack was so big, but she could only fit so little stuff in it. She was itching to fill it up.
However, her backpack could only hold rewards issued by the system and items from the system shop, and she didn't meet the requirements yet, as the system shop hadn't been opened.
The system coldly stated: "Trigger when it's time."
Upon hearing this, Yunling sighed softly. It turned out that the system was proficient in nonsensical literature, but the key question was how she knew what this "should" meant.
"Hey! Isn't this our Yun Zhiqing? You've finally decided to go out?" Fang Yuyan said sarcastically.
She saw Yunling acting suspiciously from afar and quickly went over to see what mischief she was up to.
If only we could find a small handle to use against them.
Yunling rolled her eyes: "Is it any of your business? You're not my parents."
Fang Yuyan leaned closer, looked Yun Ling up and down, sniffed her, and exclaimed, "You've been stealing food?"
She chuckled and said, "I'll tell your mother-in-law and let them deal with you."
Yunling raised her chin and looked at her triumphantly: "We had grilled fish for lunch today. Are you envious? Jealous?"
She knew that the food at the educated youth settlement was bad; it was mostly corn porridge, which was very coarse and hard to swallow.
Fang Yuyan swallowed hard, then immediately put on a disdainful look.
She snorted and said, "It's just grilled fish. It's not like we've never had it before."
Looking at Yun Ling's still fair face, she continued sarcastically, "Yun Ling is really lucky. She married the team leader's son less than a month after arriving in the countryside. Now she doesn't have to work in the fields anymore and is all plump and healthy."
Yunling was delighted by the sarcastic remarks and said with a smile, "Fate brings us together when it comes, there's nothing we can do about it."
Fang Yuyan pouted and said, "You're lucky to have moved out of the educated youth settlement. You have no idea how difficult the other educated youths are to get along with, especially Tian Gang. He follows Chen Rong around all day, completely swayed by her. He gives the food sent from his family to Chen Rong and even does chores for her. He's such a useless person."
As she said this, her eyes lit up, and she excitedly asked, "What do you think about me moving out of the educated youth settlement?"
Yunling didn't want to give her advice, otherwise she would blame everything on her if something happened in the future. So she shrugged and said, "I don't know either. You can write to your family and ask them to think of a solution for you."
Counting the days, in two more days, the things and letters that the original owner's parents sent to her should arrive. She also wants to send a letter to the original owner's family tonight.
According to the original owner's memories, the original owner's family treated her very well, and even spoiled her a bit because she was the youngest child in the family.
Fang Yuyan shook her head: "That's too much trouble. I can handle this kind of small matter myself. Are you going home? I'll go back with you. I'll talk to the captain about this."
Along the way, Fang Yuyan kept complaining about the things at the educated youth settlement, especially about Chen Rong.
"Has Sun An's verdict been handed down yet?" Yun Ling asked curiously, as he had been arrested for almost a week.
Fang Yuyan sighed, "He's been sentenced to three years and will be sent to a farm in the north for labor reform. His family was also implicated, and their class status was changed to 'five black categories.' His brother and sister-in-law directly published a notice in the newspaper severing ties with him."
She used to read some banned books, and when her parents criticized her, she didn't take it seriously at first. But after Sun An's incident, she was terrified and went to the county town that night to call home and ask them to burn the books hidden in her room to prevent them from being discovered.
Yunling sighed deeply, and reminded herself to be more cautious, to live a life of quiet desperation, and to be an honest "native".
Fang Yuyan remembered that everything started because she lost her money, which made her even angrier. It must have been done by someone from the educated youth settlement, otherwise it would have been impossible to slip the money under her bed so quietly.
