After all, Han Xue is not short of money; her family is said to be well-off.

If there isn't enough food per person, then we can just spend money to buy more food.

Hongqi Brigade has less farmland, at least on average, than other brigades.

In addition, the lack of chemical fertilizers resulted in low yields.

The amount of grain rations per person was small; for larger quantities, families had to exchange work points or buy them with money.

If you don't have enough work points, your rations won't be deducted, but they will be put on the books. Eventually, your work points will be deducted, and when others get their share of the money, you'll have to pay the difference.

Gu Yunyang didn't care about any of that. After three days, the ox was fine and in good spirits every day.

It's also noticeable that he seems to have gotten stronger.

At least, the oxen are stronger, so they can do more work every day.

These are real and tangible facts.

So those who initially had some objections have now shut their mouths.

Gu Yunyang is quite skilled at raising cattle.

If they themselves are incapable, they cannot stop those who are capable.

"I'm going back to cook."

Gu Yunyang patted the cow's head. Over the past few days, the cow, which had just given birth, seemed to have recovered quite a bit.

Seeing Gu Yunyang leave, Old Zheng quickly put down his rake and chased after him, saying, "Don't bring me food today, I cooked for myself."

Seeing the way Gu Yunyang was eating, he dared not continue eating with him.

Although Gu Yunyang hasn't started building the house yet, he hasn't been given this plot of land.

Gu Yunyang turned over a patch of land in the yard and planted some vegetables, but they haven't sprouted yet.

So for the past two days, I've been picking vegetables from Old Zheng's place to take home and eat.

Every time, Gu Yunyang would bring some out for Old Zheng while cooking.

It contains a high proportion of refined grains, so the taste is naturally good.

Moreover, even with whole grains, Gu Yunyang pulverized them quite finely so they wouldn't hurt his throat when he ate them.

It tastes good, but it uses a lot of food.

Old Zheng wasn't one to take advantage of others, so naturally he refused to eat with them anymore.

Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and realized that he had already given the benefits he was supposed to.

Old Zheng's temperament, personality, and character have also been tested; he's someone worth befriending.

If Old Zheng is greedy and insatiable, Gu Yunyang will have to be on his guard.

"Looks like I need to find a plot of land as soon as possible. Even though the villagers don't have time to build me a house, I still need to find a plot first. Also, I need to find bricks and tiles; I really don't want to skimp on housing. In addition, I need to cultivate this plot of land and plant some vegetables and coarse grains in advance... Hmm? People from the educated youth settlement have arrived?"

Gu Yunyang was pondering where to find a plot of land for building a house.

Because he was only responsible for raising cattle, he only planned to cultivate this small area in the yard of the educated youth settlement.

He didn't even want to clean up the other places.

Since everyone will be leaving sooner or later anyway, let the educated youth who will be staying there later tidy up their own things.

The same applies to the private plots in the educated youth settlements.

As soon as I walked back, I saw people in the courtyard of the educated youth settlement in the distance.

Because Yang Shengnan and the others needed to go to the fields, all the houses in the courtyard were locked.

These people were standing at the door; who were they?

Gu Yunyang had a few guesses in his mind, but he didn't know which one it was.

However, two of them were acquaintances of mine, and one of them looked somewhat familiar.

"Captain, the prison, what's going on here?"

That's right, there are four people here, two of whom are acquaintances.

One is Gu Hanping, and the other is Xing Kai, the director of the Baishi Commune Police Station.

The other two, the man was more dignified, and the woman was somewhat charming, but her demeanor seemed a bit affected.

Yang Hongmei's mother?

Gu Yunyang had an epiphany, but he didn't show it. Instead, he looked at Gu Hanping and Xing Kai with curiosity.

Who are these two?
