Therefore, in terms of business skills, Gu Hongtao is certainly no match for Gu Honghe.

Gu Honghe rolled her eyes and said, "Don't you understand? My professional skills aren't as good as those others. Why were we selected?"

Gu Hongtao then belatedly realized and said, "You mean, it's because of my younger brother?"

"Obviously."

...

After Gu Hongtao returned, she said to her older sister Gu Hongmei, "It's all because of my younger brother that I don't have to work on the production line anymore. From now on, I just need to focus on training. I shouldn't have to work overtime anymore."

At that time, there was no such thing as overtime pay.

Working overtime definitely means no pay.

But sometimes, when production tasks come up, the workers will voluntarily work overtime.

At this time, the workers still had a good sense of collective honor.

Of course, some people slack off, but when it comes to meeting production targets, they can do just as well.

When Gu Yunyang was having dinner that evening, several of his older sisters came over and brought a large plate of eggs.

Gu Yunyang asked, "Would you like to eat something together?"

Gu Honglan looked at the stir-fried pork and the steamed cured pork with preserved mustard greens on the table, and was speechless: "We were going to add a dish for you, but you ate even better yourself."

Gu Yunyang's lifestyle is probably unmatched by anyone.

Gu Yunyang is capable; he can write articles and earns royalties.

Gu Yunyang is still working at the commune and receiving a salary.

He served as the brigade secretary in the Red Flag Brigade, and could exchange his position for grain.

Gu Yunyang's own dogs can go hunting in the mountains, so he doesn't need to worry about them.

Look, even their dogs eat better than these girls.

This is still under the condition that Gu Hongtao now has a job and can receive cash invoices.

"Want to grab something to eat together?"

Gu Yunyang extended an invitation.

After thinking about it, the older sisters accepted it.

Gu Yunyang wasn't stingy, and since these people had gotten to know him better, they became more casual with him than before.

During the meal, Gu Hongtao thanked Gu Yunyang, saying, "It's all because of you that I was able to be selected for that training department."

Gu Yunyang waved his hand: "It's not a big deal. Secretary Hao and I proposed this training department. But it was Secretary Hao who did the actual work."

"It's all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could you possibly take care of me and my second sister?"

The family had a very pleasant chat here.

Gu Yunyang seized the opportunity to say, "By the way, I'm going into the mountains in the next few days. I need to find some miniature pigs there, if they're needed."

Gu Honglan asked with some concern, "Are you going into the mountains?"

Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Looking down on me? This isn't the first time I've brought Hei Zi and the others into the mountains. There won't be any danger. Don't forget, I can even hunt wild boars. Wild boars are the most dangerous thing in these mountains."

Then they remembered that Gu Yunyang had treated the entire brigade to a meat feast because of this.

"Then you still need to be careful."

Gu Yunyang naturally agreed.

Early the next morning, Gu Hanping came over and gave him a few more instructions: "You must be careful. This time you're going deep into the mountains, and you might encounter a pack of wolves. Those things are much more dangerous than wild boars."

Gu Yunyang laughed and said, "Don't worry, you know how capable Hei Zi and Hei Mei are. They will definitely warn me before danger arrives."

After saying that, Gu Hanping added, "It's good for you to go into the mountains and hide for a while. You don't know, the news that the mushroom bag factory is recruiting has spread. I'm afraid your place will soon be bustling with activity. The whole brigade knows about this news yet, otherwise, people would have already come."

Gu Yunyang suddenly spoke up, "I'm afraid they've already arrived. I'll leave through the back door. Captain, could you please close the door for me?"
