The three children that Gu Hanping raised himself didn't turn out badly, did they?

"Hmm, maybe it's because Gu Hansheng and Gu Hanbin were slacking off that they had to work hard themselves. That's why they didn't go astray?"

So it seems that Gu Hansheng wasn't entirely useless after all.

Gu Hanping clearly hadn't expected Gu Yunyang to suddenly mention Gu Hansheng and Ning An.

Gu Hanping thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go talk to them. Let them remind them; they do know about Yancheng. Gu Changhong has some connection with our family, although... we can't just sit idly by."

Okay, that's quite a high level of moral fastidiousness.

Gu Yunyang felt that he had no psychological burden at all.

Respect others' choices and enjoy your own life.

He didn't think his actions were immoral at all, even towards someone he had no connection with, or even someone he had some enmity with.

He simply stood by and did nothing, which was enough.

When he got back, Zhang Jianjun was puzzled: "Why didn't I see you come back?"

Zhang Jianjun was busy at the village entrance today and didn't see him.

Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "I did see you, but you were busy at the time, so I didn't bother you."

He walked back without taking a step, so Zhang Jianjun didn't see him.

When Gu Yunyang heard his aunt spreading rumors about Gu Changhong and Yan Cheng, he summoned all the birds in the brigade to take a look.

He saw where Zhang Jianjun was working.

As they went back together, Zhang Jianjun hesitated several times before speaking, and Gu Yunyang guessed that he must have overheard him.

If those aunties hadn't spread the rumor throughout the entire brigade by the end of the day, Gu Yunyang would have doubted the capabilities of the brigade's village intelligence station.

However, Gu Yunyang did not intend to discuss this issue with Zhang Jianjun, so he neither responded nor asked any questions.

Zhang Jianjun felt he couldn't bring himself to speak up, since Gu Yunyang and Gu Changhong didn't have a good relationship.

But he felt that as a basic human decency, he couldn't remain silent.

They grew up in the same place, after all. Although he and Gu Changhong didn't have much interaction, he was even almost tricked by Gu Changhong.

They arrived at the place where they were going up the mountain, where Chen Xiangrong and the others met and went up the mountain together.

Gu Yunyang asked, "Chen Xiangrong, your house should be finished by now, right?"

Chen Xiangrong nodded: "I plan to move there in a few days. I've been staying with Han and Yang for many days, and I'm sorry to have troubled them."

Oh, by the way, in a few days I'm thinking of buying some groceries and treating everyone to a meal. It's a way of thanking everyone for their kindness, and also a way of giving them a second chance..."

At this point, Chen Xiangrong hesitated for a moment, then looked at Gu Yunyang and asked, "Um, my cooking skills aren't very good. I wonder if you could cook something for me?"

Also, my dad mails me some national grain and meat coupons, but it's not easy for me to go to the commune to buy them myself. Could you bring some over for me?

Chen Xiangrong has been trying to learn to cook these days, but her culinary skills are not something to be expected to improve.

Yang Shengnan and Han Xue, who lived with Chen Xiangrong, are the most qualified to speak on this point.

When Chen Xiangrong mentioned it, both of them laughed good-naturedly.

Gu Yunyang couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Chen Xiangrong rolled her eyes speechlessly: "You guys, that's enough. I've never done this before, so I have to learn from scratch."

Seeing that her words were useless, Chen Xiangrong went up and started tickling the two women.

Gu Yunyang and Zhang Jianjun watched with smiles on their faces; it was quite a nice scene.

It was very lively.

It seemed that everything was peaceful and serene.

Over there, Gu Yunyang noticed that Gu Changhong was coming up the mountain from outside; he was about to return.

However, Gu Yunyang noticed that her expression was a little off.

"Could it be that you've tasted forbidden fruit? This? I have to say, Yan Cheng, you're really something! You're much more capable than Shen Yu."
