Ning An felt that the face looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment, she couldn't recall where she had seen it before.

She turned and got out of bed; Gu Hanping was watching her closely, so she had to get out of bed.

Although she still wanted to take leave every few days, she was simply not allowed to.

Gu Yunyang was suddenly reminded by the crow, and after changing his perspective, he discovered that a stranger had arrived at the Red Flag Brigade.

Upon closer inspection, they spotted Gu Anning.

"Gu Anning has arrived? I didn't expect that, but judging from his eyes, he knows Ning An?"

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and then understood: "That's right. If Gu Anning wants to switch children, shouldn't we investigate thoroughly?"

Before Gu Anning can take action, she must thoroughly investigate her target.

He must have done thorough research to succeed back then.

Gu Yunyang didn't mind; if Gu Anning was here, so be it.

Anyway, they've already severed ties, and everyone knows about the days he spent in the capital thanks to his publicity.

Even with Gu Anning present, there was no way to control him.

As for Gu Anning's side, the changes here haven't been significant as she's come in.

After all, it wasn't the period of rapid development that followed the reform and opening up.

The changes in China over the past decade or so have not actually been that significant.

Of course, if you walk into the main area, you'll see that there are significant changes inside.

Gu Anning shook her head slightly and headed towards the brigade headquarters.

Here, Gu Anning met Yang Xiulian, the women's director.

"Hello, ma'am."

Gu Anning's way of addressing someone was still very polite; when someone is polite, there must be something in return.

Yang Xiulian frowned, walked out, and upon seeing Gu Anning, said strangely, "You look familiar. Who are you? What are you doing at the Red Flag Brigade?"

Gu Anning quickly said, "It's like this, my name is Gu Anning, I'm Gu Changjun and Gu Changhong's father, I'm here to..."

"Oh, you're Gu Anning?" Yang Xiulian looked at Gu Anning with disdain and pouted.

He thought to himself, "This person looks decent enough, but he turns out to be that kind of person."

Perhaps some members of the Red Flag Brigade were envious of Gu Yunyang's good food and comfortable living conditions.

Even Quan San had to admit that Gu Yunyang had brought about many changes to the Red Flag Brigade.

Better days are ahead for them.

They didn't like Gu Anning to some extent.

Gu Anning never expected that the first person to greet her upon her arrival would treat her this way.

However, he needed someone's help, so he couldn't show his anger. Nevertheless, his smile faded somewhat, and he said, "I'm here to see my son and daughter."

Although he knew that Gu Changhong had disappeared, he had just arrived and didn't want to say much else.

Let's find Gu Changjun first, and then come back to the brigade.

His daughter disappeared without explanation and married someone else, a petty thug.

Gu Anning should at least seek justice, shouldn't he?

Yang Xiulian ignored Gu Anning completely, saying only, "It's already morning, he must have gone to work in the fields. If you want to find him, go look for him in the fields. I still have work to do here. Otherwise, you can wait outside for a while. Lunch is coming soon, he'll have to come back for lunch eventually, right?"

Gu Changjun didn't get along well with the other educated youth at the settlement, and no one wanted to eat with him.

Gu Changjun will definitely have to come back and cook for himself.

He was never good at farm work, and during the busy farming season, he only earned a few work points each day.

Gu Changjun has been criticized and his reputation has never improved.

Gu Anning wanted to throw a tantrum, but Yang Xiulian wouldn't even look at him.

Gu Anning also realized that she was no longer the powerful and influential Gu Anning she once was in the capital.
