After tidying up, Gu Yunyang came out and placed the key under a stone next to the hand pump well cover.

Gu Honglan and Yang Shengnan, among others, would come to help water the vegetable garden in the yard if they had time.

Of course, shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms also need to be watered.

"We might have to harvest another batch tomorrow, and that will be done by Gu Honglan and the others."

As for the vegetables in the yard...

"We'll harvest a batch later, some of which will be used to dry vegetables, and the rest will be used to make some pickled vegetables."

Pickled green beans, pickled cucumbers, dried green beans, spicy cabbage, dried plum vegetables, and pickled mustard greens all need to be prepared.

Although the winter temperature here is around 10 degrees Celsius, there are also plenty of vegetables available.

But the reason why pickled vegetables were able to develop is because of their unique flavor.

Putting aside everything else, the preserved mustard greens in braised pork with preserved mustard greens are popular all over the country for their unique flavor.

After packing, Gu Yunyang packed a backpack and his crossbody bag, and was ready to leave.

Actually, he didn't even need a backpack. What didn't Gu Yunyang have in his base space?

It's just used as a cover.

To avoid having to take out something without any concealment and being discovered.

Just then, Gu Honglan and her sisters arrived.

Gu Yunyang immediately pointed to the stone and said, "I put the key under that stone."

If it doesn't work tomorrow, then the day after tomorrow, we should be able to harvest a batch of shiitake mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms in the room.

Please help me wash it and then put it in a winnowing basket to dry.

I came back from the city and brought you some oil as a thank you gift.

Gu Honglan originally wanted to say that she was helping her younger brother with chores and didn't need any reward.

But since Gu Yunyang only mentioned getting some oil, she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

As the group descended the mountain, Gu Yunyang said softly, "Actually, if you have time, you can plant some peanuts or corn in a secluded spot on the nearby mountain."

When the harvest is ready, we'll find a place to press the oil.

Even in the countryside, let alone for those with urban household registration, there's a shortage of oil.

At least those with urban household registration received stamps and meat coupons every month, and the fat from that meat could be pressed for oil.

People in the countryside, besides growing some plants that can be pressed for oil,

They could only hope to hunt in the mountains and get some lard.

When they parted ways at the educated youth settlement below, they ran into Shi Junyao and Gu Changhong, who had also come out.

Gu Changhong let out a cold snort, clearly disliking Gu Yunyang.

Gu Yunyang simply pretended to hear barking dogs and didn't take it to heart at all.

"Okay, then I'll be going."

Gu Yunyang pushed his bicycle out, intending to ride it to the police station as well.

When the time comes, leave the bicycle at the police station and take a bus to the city.

They rode bicycles themselves all the way to the city.

It's not impossible, but it would take quite a long time.

However, Gu Yunyang had only gone halfway when he spotted Sun Zhijie at the fork in the road with a few people, and he wondered if they were on a mission.

"Company Commander Sun."

We happened to run into them, and it was quite early, so there weren't many people outside.

Actually, there are many farmlands along the road, but these farmlands probably haven't been harvested yet, so there aren't many people by the roadside.

Gu Yunyang still greeted him.

Sun Zhijie had actually spotted Gu Yunyang long ago; he was leading a team today to track down a group of people.

I just didn't expect that we couldn't track it down.

"Secretary Gu, what's going on?"

Gu Yunyang said, "There's news from the city that they need me to help draw a few portraits. That's why I had to rush over here early this morning to meet up with the prison."

After Gu Yunyang said that, Sun Zhijie's few remaining doubts were dispelled.

After chatting for a while, Gu Yunyang prepared to leave.

Then, he remembered that Gu Honghe had wanted to give him malted milk powder before.

So, Gu Yunyang pretended to have just remembered and asked, "By the way, Company Commander Sun, don't you think there's someone named Wu Kui in your armed forces department?"
