It was lunchtime soon and everyone packed up and went over to eat.

Gu Qingyao asked for a pot from the grandma who makes meals and poured all the fish soup out. Zhou Bingsheng was stunned to see so much fish soup and asked, “So much? Leave some for yourself, little girl. You’re still at the growing stage. Don’t treat yourself badly.”

Gu Qingyao smiled. “Don’t worry, teacher. I will take care of myself. You and the other grandpas and grandmas are old already and worked so hard in the previous farming season. Hurry and nourish up now otherwise the body will not be able to take it after a long time.

“I caught these at the stream on the mountain and was lucky to catch so many. Our family has already eaten. These are for you all.”

Zhou Bingsheng smiled and took a bite and squinted his eyes immediately. “Ah! This is really tasty! This is called living!”

The seniors around them smiled as well. “It’s already good to be able to eat at this age but you still want to enjoy life?”

Zhou Bingsheng said helplessly, “Who dares to enjoy life! I just occasionally recall the past and am rather regretful. Now that we are in this Qing River Brigade, our lives are already not bad.”

Everyone was silent upon hearing that.

Although they were demoted, they were fortunate to be delegated to the Qing River Brigade. While days were tough as well, they were still considered passable.

Gu Qingyao noticed the repressive atmosphere and hurriedly said, “Teacher, the tough times will eventually pass. You all must take care of your health and personally witness the arrival of that day.”

Zhou Bingsheng was stumped for words and smiled. “That’s right. I must live well. There’s only hope for those who are living.”

Gu Qingyao did not stay for long and left after chatting awhile.

On her way back, she happened to see Mo Beihan returning with firewood and a sack in his hand.

He flashed a smile immediately at the sight of Gu Qingyao. “Yao Yao!”
