Gu Hanping lifted the basket in his hand and said, "Let's go up the mountain to plant corn. After that, we'll plant chestnuts and sweet potatoes."

Gu Yunyang hadn't paid much attention to this lately, and was taken aback when he heard this: "Are the seedlings all ready?"

"It's almost done. We can transplant some of it now. We'll take our time with the rest."

All I can say is that I've been really busy lately.

The rice seedlings have already been planted, but they haven't grown properly yet.

Here, corn is planted first, and then sweet potatoes are transplanted.

Next comes the summer harvest, followed by tilling the fields in preparation for autumn planting.

This period will last for two months.

Therefore, life in the South is more tiring than in the North.

They work year-round without a break, every single day.

"No wonder people who became educated youth all liked to go to the Northeast. There are no sandstorms like in the Northwest, and only one crop is grown a year. By November, when it snows, it's almost time for snow. After that, it's a long winter of hibernation."

Gu Yunyang thought to himself.

If he hadn't disliked the cold weather, he probably would have preferred to take the risks and go to the countryside in Northeast China in the first place.

"Alright, I'll go to the commune again. I should be able to come back to work tomorrow."

He was the brigade secretary of the Hongqi Brigade, and although he was going to the commune, it would still be beneficial to the brigade.

However, it's ultimately not good to never participate in the group's activities.

He especially needs to come back for things like the summer harvest.

As they separated, Gu Yunyang got off and saw Granny Hong and the others returning with baskets on their backs.

Gu Yunyang was also puzzled: "Grandma Hong, what's going on here?"

"Oh, Secretary Gu," Granny Hong said with a smile, "The piglets for this month have arrived. Our brigade's own pigs gave birth to piglets. We need to get a batch of piglets every month, right? We don't want the good stuff to go to outsiders, so we just brought them over ourselves."

The pigs that Granny Hong was referring to, which belonged to the brigade, were not the pigsty that Gu Yunyang had set up after he arrived.

It was originally a pigsty that the whole brigade had built together.

If Gu Yunyang doesn't buy piglets for the pigsty he manages, then these piglets will either be given to other villagers who want to raise pigs.

Alternatively, they can be sold to families who previously had piglets, but the piglets died unexpectedly.

"Alright, thank you all for your help, Granny Hong."

"It's no trouble at all, it's all part of my job."

Gu Yunyang smiled and said goodbye to them.

At this moment, the crow had already arrived at Huo Yin's house with the note.

Huo Yin had another near-arrest incident last night, and he still had other things to deal with late at night.

To soothe the hearts of those who comfort themselves.

They didn't get back until three or four in the morning.

I thought about a lot of things while lying in bed.

She's sleeping soundly right now.

However, the crow landed and pecked at the window with its beak.

Huo Yin opened his eyes, got up, opened the window, and a crow flew in.

Seeing the device on the crow's leg, Huo Yin was taken aback: "More intelligence?"

When he took it out and looked at it, his expression changed.

Huo Yin immediately got up and walked out. His parents asked him curiously, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"

They probably had a guess about what Huo Yin had done.

Living under the same roof, how could they not know anything about what their own son had done?
