But she immediately sighed sadly: "The Old Chu Family is causing a ruckus, saying if I ask for money or hit people again, they’ll go to the militia, seek out Red Guards—even if it means going to jail, they won’t let me get away with it."
Shi Suifeng was full of praise: "Very impressive."
He didn’t forget to take this chance to educate Chu River: "Although wool harvesting should continue to develop, we first need to see if this sheep grows fast or not."
"If it’s not fast, it’s most cost-effective to eat it early."
"Without you, can the Old Chu Family make money? Might as well reap a big harvest and compensate for your years of hard work."
Chu River agreed deeply and was extremely looking forward to the city trip:
"When we get there, let’s go to the state-run restaurant first, I want to eat a big meal!"
She hadn’t dared to eat properly for a while, life was tough!
...
Shi Suifeng chuckled lightly, riding the bike with swift movements, showing no signs of fatigue at all:
"Sure! Today you can eat as much as you want, even eat up all the money if you like."
"Don’t worry, I’ve brought enough food tickets."
As for how much money there is... 50 yuan from home, plus some of his own money, and the money from Chu River’s soaked clothes yesterday...
Not to boast, but there’s 500 at least.
Chu River now had a clear concept of money, and the two of them together could gather 800 yuan, which was like a black-and-white cow waving its hips at her!
How blissful!
She shook her head sitting on the back seat of the bike, already starting to feel hungry.
However, Shi Suifeng asked again: "So, have you decided yet? Will you come with me today directly, or wait a while and go by yourself later?"
He had already arranged for the brigade to issue a letter of introduction just in case, with one sheet left blank.
As to why the team leader was so considerate... well, that’s the charm of money.
...
But Chu River disagreed.
"That won’t do, didn’t you say you’ve sent quite a bit of money home over the years? If I leave now, won’t that benefit them?"
Shi Suifeng thought about it: "Not too bad, over the years, I’ve sent a total of 1360 yuan. This time I gave 200 for the bride price, and took 50, the rest will just be my filial duty to my parents."
"How is that the same?!" Chu River, from behind, strongly disagreed.
She was now quite experienced in handling household matters, so she shared without reservation:
"You can’t spoil their appetite like that."
"You think you’re being filial, but they take it for granted, so you need to give a slap before a sweet date, this helps maintain family harmony."
Afraid Shi Suifeng wouldn’t believe it, she even started giving examples: "Look at the Old Chu Family, the four brothers each had their own thoughts, and now how united they are."
"Listen to me, I can’t just let them take advantage, they must know your hardships and understand how tough you have it."
Shi Suifeng stifled his laughter: "Alright, there are two chickens at my home, my mom’s locked large cabinet is filled with food, you make the arrangements."
Chu River nodded solemnly: "Don’t worry, you go back first, settle down, tidy up the house, and prepare more food. I’ll come over after sorting things out here."
Shi Suifeng nodded: "Okay. I’ll leave the introduction letter with you, you fill it in yourself when the time comes."
"Also, saying we’re getting married is a lie, little Huang Mao, you should take care of your health. By then, just say you’re my sister, sent away when you were young, but found after a family accident."
"Don’t worry, brother won’t let you go hungry."
Chu River thought about it, no need to change her name, still able to freeload food and drink openly—approved!
With everything arranged, she looked at the still distant, endless city, holding an unimaginable anticipation for the state-run restaurant.
It’s mainly not to satisfy her own cravings, but because several nieces and nephews worked too hard, they deserved a reward.
She couldn’t help but pat her brother’s shoulder in front:
"Hey, aren’t you tired of riding the bike? Why don’t I ride it?"
...
Moments later.
Shi Suifeng numbingly shrank his tall figure into the back seat.
In front, the 1.5-meter short legs couldn’t reach the pedals of the large bike, so the freshly minted sister wasn’t sitting on the seat, instead, she thrust her legs through the front bar and was riding it fast while standing.
Shi Suifeng felt the wind and dust in his face, not wanting to admit—his new sister had a strength that surpassed everyone.
