However, Mrs. Yao also knew it wasn’t appropriate for them to keep receiving the young couple’s goodwill without returning the favor. She could only reply, “Our situation isn’t good either. Why don’t we give them 20 pounds?”
After Madam Qiao heard it, her heart felt much better, although she was still dissatisfied. She looked at Father Gu and ordered, “50 pounds is my final decision. Also, bring some dried vegetables over.”
After she finished speaking, she went back to her room.
“Mother, I’ll remember it. I’ll send it over in a while.” Father Gu spoke hurriedly.
Mrs. Liu wanted to refute, but Father Gu glared at her. She could only snort coldly and said to Mrs. Guo, “Hurry up and wash the dishes. Who are you waiting for?”
Although Mrs. Guo was unwilling, she didn’t want to be someone Mrs. Liu could vent her anger on. She immediately got up and got busy.
When Mrs. Sun saw this, she immediately got up and helped.

“Father, I’ll go with you,” Gu Chengye stood up and said.
“No need. You’ve been carrying water for the whole day. You should go to bed early.” Father Gu stood up and waved to Gu Chengxi. “Chengxi, come with me.”
“Yes, Uncle.” Gu Chengrui immediately responded and stood up.
Afterward, the two packed about 50 pounds of black flour and a sack of various dried vegetables. They rushed to Gu Chengrui’s house once they were ready.
After entering their housing area, Gu Chengxi greeted Er Zhuang, who obediently lay on the ground.
The father and son carried the things inside.
Gu Chengrui heard the commotion and walked out of the house. He was stunned when he saw them carrying some stuff in. He took the bag of flour from his father and asked, “Father, why did you bring food over? We don’t lack any food for the moment.”
However, he still led them into the house after that.
“It isn’t my business whether you are lacking food or not. I ground some new grains today, so I just thought that I should let you try them.” Father Gu spoke with his hands behind his back.
“Yes, there are also dried vegetables.” Gu Chengxi laughed and echoed.
“Thank you, Father.” Gu Chengrui smiled and nodded.
Zhou Ying also put down her book at this time and came over to greet the two. “Father, Chengxi. Quickly, come and take a seat.”
“Aye.” Father Gu answered and sat down. He saw two books on the table and asked in surprise, “Are you guys learning by reading?”
“I guess so. I was bored and found some travel notes in the bookstore to read and gain some knowledge.” After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she took two clean cups and poured them each a cup of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea.
“That’s good. There’s no end to learning. If you can learn something, it’s good, and it will be useful one day.” Father Gu accepted the tea and nodded in agreement.
To be honest, he had always thought that she was illiterate. He didn’t expect her to be able to read. It seemed that he had really neglected them in the past.
Zhou Ying smiled. “You guys continue chatting. I’ll go and boil some water.”
After that, she took the empty pot and walked out.
“Are you really going to close Grassland Taste Restaurant for the moment?” Father Gu looked at Gu Chengrui and asked.
“Yes, we’re short on food supplies now. It’s not easy to buy grain and alcohol, so we might as well stop for the moment. It’s also better, saving us the trouble.”
Father Gu thought of what he had heard about the restaurant being almost robbed and nodded in agreement. “That’s fine. With your medical skills, you won’t have to worry about your future.”
After a while, Zhou Ying came back with a pot of water and a basket. She put it on the table and said, “Here are some fruits. Father, you can bring them back for everyone to try.”
“Fruit? Where did you buy them?” Mr. Gu’s eyes lit up.
To be honest, other than the village at the foot of the mountain, it took a lot of work to find even a fresh vegetable, let alone fruits. This was something truly
rare..
