Zhou Zhigang had actually been worried all along.

His older brother was arrested, but he escaped.

This is still an unknown.

Logically speaking, we haven't heard a single word about it.

Neither the local police station nor the county public security bureau had heard a word about it.

How could something have suddenly gone wrong?

But he had made a promise with his elder brother that if something happened and he disappeared, his sister-in-law would come looking for him.

Now that the eldest brother is missing, the eldest sister-in-law has come looking for him.

It's unclear whether it was because the eldest brother's identity was exposed that he was arrested.

They still evacuated.

No one was watching him, so his identity shouldn't have been exposed yet.

It's no easy feat to lie low and rise to your current position.

If he leaves directly, all his efforts over the years will have been in vain.

Furthermore, he did not find a way out.

Leaving directly from here is a minor matter.

But where to go?

Where should we settle down?

These are all problems.

He can't just leave.

So I hesitated.

Just then, Hao Jianshe asked him about it. Zhou Zhigang had no intention of getting entangled in the matter, and it wasn't a big deal, so he could only nod and say, "This is something that has been bothering me for a long time."

As everyone knows, I have always kept the problems of the Red Flag Brigade in mind over the years.

I don't know how many times I asked Gu Hanping, but it had little effect.

Now that the Red Flag Brigade has found a solution, I am willing to support them.

I just hope that you, Secretary Gu, are not so young and inexperienced that you can be unreliable in handling affairs.

Next year, I'll be watching to see how your Red Flag Brigade fares.

It seems that Zhou Zhigang's attitude is not problematic.

But Gu Yunyang felt that Zhou Zhigang had a much bigger problem.

He has refuted Hao Jianshe countless times before, just to refute him.

Given that Gu Yunyang had offended Zhou Zhigang multiple times, how could Zhou Zhigang possibly agree to his proposal so easily?

So, there are still problems.

Zhou Zhigang was probably worried about his situation.

Gu Yunyang wrote everything down and would later tell Xing Shuo or Zuo Qiulin to raise their suspicions about Zhou Zhigang.

However, at this moment, Gu Yunyang naturally wouldn't alert the enemy: "Yes, I have noted down what the two secretaries said."

Although they and I are both secretaries, we are not at the same level.

He was just a brigade secretary, not even a cadre.

The reason Gu Yunyang made this request today was actually to resolve some issues within the Red Flag Brigade.

We're clearing land in the mountains to grow crops like corn, soybeans, and peanuts. These crops can be used as food, pressed for oil, and made into snacks.

It has many uses.

People with urban household registration will also receive a certain amount of fuel coupons each month, but that is very little.

People in the countryside either buy some fatty meat or some pork fat to render their own oil.

The only option is to grow some of these oil-rich plants and take them to an oil press to extract the oil.

Compared to urban residents, it's easier for people in the countryside to get oil.

But it also requires occupying some land.

The Hongqi Brigade's private plots were larger than those of other places, but they were still not enough.

Some of them still need to grow grain, otherwise there simply won't be enough to eat.

This year, Gu Yunyang came and first asked everyone to plant some sweet potatoes in the orchard.
