Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1904 - 1905: Female Intellectual Youth Passerby 47

The Wang Family is lively, while the Zhang Family’s atmosphere is much better. The Zhang Family lives in the residential area, and everyone knows that the Zhang Family’s girl is coming back today.

After all, the city dispatched a boat to pick her up, which caused quite a stir, and everyone is guessing whether the girl will come back in a bad mood.

Though the farm’s treatment is good, it still requires working in the fields, who would be willing, she might return with a long face.

Especially knowing that Zhang Wei specifically took leave, both husband and wife went to pick up Zhang Yu, everyone is guessing if the girl’s temper will be even worse.

The elderly and unemployed people in the family compound often gather to chat and work, especially in good winter weather; they must bask and work together.

Today’s chat topic revolves around the Zhang Family; everyone is discussing whether the Zhang Family will start a commotion once Zhang Yu returns.

Especially in the past six months, the Zhang Family changed their previous style and stopped mailing things to Zhang Yu.

"I just said, how can they not value sons over daughters, see, at critical moments, you can see Mr. Zhang’s family’s attitude." A grandmother who favored grandsons said proudly.

Just as she wanted to elaborate, she found no one was listening to her, everyone was staring at a certain spot.

The grandmother turned her head and saw that the Zhang Family’s trio had returned, indeed at this time it’s expected to pick someone up, causing no surprise, but everyone was staring at the two big baskets on the back racks of the two cars, they looked full, containing quite a bit,

Even the handlebar of their car had something, "The girl actually brought back so many items?"

This is indeed surprising, "Could it be the girl brought everything from the farm back?"

"No way," someone hesitated, currently, finding a job isn’t easy, "Haven’t heard of rumors that the Zhang Family is looking for work."

"Exactly, when the Zhang Family’s girl just graduated, the Zhang Family couple kept looking into job circumstances outside, but since the girl went to the countryside, they stopped inquiring."

While everyone was curious about what exactly was on the Zhang Family couple’s car, the Zhang Family trio was getting closer.

Since they couldn’t guess what was brought along, they directly asked, "Mr. Zhang, what’s loaded onto your car?"

Yao Ying doesn’t enjoy gathering to chat, so even after retirement, she prefers resting at home rather than coming down to hear all sorts of gossip, but hasn’t been able to avoid hearing people discuss them behind their backs, saying they’re only pretending to treat their daughter well.

She was quite angry; even if she explained a few times, hardly anyone believed, they only trust what they see and their analysis.

"My daughter brought back items from the farm." Zhang Wei is busy with work, constantly working overtime or at home, and never pays attention to the gossip in the family area, but hasn’t escaped hearing from his wife about various speculations regarding their situation, and feels no goodwill.

Now seeing them grouped together, surrounding upon their appearance, it’s clear they were discussing their affairs before, really not wanting to answer their questions.

Items brought from the farm? "What are they?" People exchanged glances, continuing to press for details.

"Farm specialties, the farm takes care of us, allowing us to buy a hundred pounds of rice at the grain station price."

"Then bought some additional items." Zhang Yu cheerfully mentioned the things she brought back.

She isn’t trying to show off; now, if not upfront, what if someone smells rice aroma at home and thinks they bought from the black market and reports it?

Though it can be explained, having some authorities come over will cause unnecessary gossip, better explain clearly from the beginning.

A hundred pounds of rice? Onlookers gasped, "Is it new rice?"

"Yes." Zhang Yu replied happily, "My roommate in the same dorm didn’t buy it, so I used her quota to buy two hundred pounds of rice."

Initially, hearing one hundred pounds of rice was already quite a blow, after all, it’s a hundred pounds of rice without needing food coupons, using grain station price instead of black market price, which is hard to bear.

It’s farm new rice? Quality must be great, everyone was envious, jealous, and resentful.

Turns out they not only bought a hundred pounds but two hundred pounds of rice, truly stimulating everyone, eyes turning red.

Some clever individuals considered whether they could get a share, after all, it’s two hundred pounds of rice, not asking much, just twenty or thirty pounds, even fifty pounds would do.

"This way, my parents don’t have to starve." Zhang Yu certainly knew those present, hearing so much rice, had various thoughts and wanted some from their hands.

However, that’s definitely impossible, as everyone lacks grain, "I didn’t sleep well last night, let’s head back."

Zhang Yu smiled, truly needing rest now.

People know there’s no lack of grain, although city households have monthly grain quotas, it truly isn’t enough, especially with more men at home, the shortfall is big.

Now knowing the Zhang Family has quality, affordable rice, can they miss out? Certainly not.

It’s a pity before they spoke up, Zhang Yu already said she was tired and wanted to rest, they can’t stop them from resting.

However, people can visit, some claiming good relations with the Zhang Family, and those thick-skinned are scattering.

After all, there’s only as much; they must act fast, otherwise it’ll be snatched away.

The family of three worked hard to move the items upstairs home, Zhang Wei moved stuff in, prepared to organize it when Yao Ying urged him to return to work.

"You go ahead, I can organize the stuff." With everything at home, Yao Ying assured she could handle it, "Come back earlier today."

Zhang Wei responded, "I know." No matter the external clamor, factory production continues, occasionally requiring overtime, today the daughter returns, certainly no overtime.

After sending the man off, Yao Ying quickly cooked Zhang Yu a bowl of noodles, "Eat well then go rest, oh, for lunch.." glancing at the time, what do you want for dinner?

"I’m flexible." Zhang Yu initially thought of saying meat, then reconsidered, if she really mentioned it, surely it’d be prepared.
