Although I don't recognize the middle-aged man that Principal Zhong brought over?

Or is it an elderly person?

Gu Yunyang hurried on his way, knowing that Principal Zhong must have something to say to have come to him.

A few crows landed nearby, cawing and chattering.

Soon I overheard their conversation.

However, the dialogue was brief, consisting of only a few words occasionally.

This gave Gu Yunyang some clues.

"Is it a translation?"

Translation talent is still very scarce in this era.

Scarcity drives up prices, hence the high price for translation.

Gu Yunyang translated it twice, and the price he was paid for each translation was quite high.

It's much higher than the royalties.

Of course, accurate translation is more difficult than writing.

On the way back, I happened to run into Gu Hanping in the village.

"Captain, the matter we discussed before is basically settled."

Gu Yunyang did not directly explain what had happened.

It's not advisable to publicize this matter extensively before things have settled down.

Although Hao Jianshe has agreed, who knows what problems might arise before things are actually done?

However, they both knew exactly what had happened.

Gu Hanping nodded: "That's good."

Doesn't he want to explore more wasteland?

Behind this area are mountains and forests, which is not only dangerous, but the forestry bureau would also not approve it.

Because the Hongqi Brigade had very little farmland, Gu Hanping had to submit countless reports and make numerous trips to the commune.

In the past, Zhou Gaga was always in charge. Gu Hanping never even tried to get close to her, let alone seek refuge with her.

Zhou Zhigang probably wouldn't approve either.

Unexpectedly, with Gu Yunyang's intervention, the matter was resolved so easily.

Gu Hanping sighed, "You really do have a way with things."

Gu Yunyang waved his hand modestly and said with a smile, "It was just a coincidence. The situation in the Central Plains has not been good these past two years, and they need food aid."

If I hadn't made a promise that a portion of the profits would be used to support the Central Plains...

This matter is not so easy to get approved.

However, although Secretary Hao agreed, the Forestry Bureau hasn't confirmed it yet. Let's not release this information to anyone for now.

As he spoke, Gu Yunyang took out the five jin of lard that Xie Weijie had given him from his basket and handed it to Gu Hanping, saying, "This is lard given by Director Xie of the meat processing plant. Captain, take it back and refine it into oil."

Gu Hanping stopped his outstretched hand immediately: "Take this back yourself."

These days, who doesn't need oil?

This is good stuff. Look at this piece of lard, it weighs at least five pounds.

It can render at least four pounds of lard.

If you eat sparingly, you can eat your fill for a year.

Gu Yunyang waved his hand: "It's alright, I don't lack oil. Besides, I'm just one person, how much oil can I use? Captain, don't be shy, just take it."

Gu Hanping hesitated for a second before accepting: "That surname, but my family will get a share."

This piece of lard can also be used to do favors.

Gu Hanping's idea was to take some out and distribute it to the important figures in the brigade, as a favor to Gu Yunyang.

Although Gu Yunyang has now established himself in the Hongqi Brigade, and everyone who answered correctly has accepted him as the brigade secretary.

However, Gu Yunyang's relationship with the locals still needs to be worked out gradually.

It needs to be strengthened.

"Okay, the captain can handle it."

Gu Yunyang originally intended to go straight back.
