Gu Changbai was unaware of Gu Hanping and Hao Pingping's plans, so he didn't think much of it.

After the divorce, he was somewhat disheartened and had no intention of starting another marriage.

He has two children and is a first-time divorcee; what kind of good woman can he possibly marry?

Rather than bringing home someone who will be bad for the child, it's better to just stay as we are.

The child can also be looked after by grandparents.

Just like now.

Gu Changzhu raised his hand: "Dad, I still need to study. Didn't you say I should go to university? Why are you assigning me to another school?"

Gu Hanping slapped Gu Changzhu on the head: "I told you to take the college entrance exam, is this how you study? Have you even looked at all the review materials Yunyang gave you? And have you done all the test papers and exercises he gave you?"

Gu Changzhu was in a real bind. He was willing to learn from Gu Yunyang.

But studying all the time gave him a headache.

Gu Changzhu said, "Isn't it the busy farming season? That's why I was a little slower..."

During the busy farming season, especially during spring plowing, schools are closed for the holidays, which are called "farming holidays."

Not only students, but teachers also get a holiday.

Gu Hanping slapped Gu Changzhu on the shoulder, this time with even more force, almost making Gu Changzhu stumble and fall.

"dad."

"Dad, Dad, what are you yelling for? I've already arranged the lightest work for you during the busy farming season. Don't think I don't know you're slacking off. How many work points do you earn a day? You'd be better off with Shi Junyao!"

"Dad, how could you say that to me?"

"Why can't I say that to you?"

Seeing Gu Changzhu's aggrieved look and realizing that he couldn't even compare to Shi Junyao, Gu Hanping felt somewhat indignant.

He had been tolerant enough, tolerating Gu Changzhu doing the easiest work and still slacking off.

Well, if it weren't for the Red Flag Brigade's regulations on how many work points one should have to do.

The entire brigade was slacking off.

That's how it was done back when everyone ate from the same pot.

Gu Hanping said with exasperation, "The college entrance exam is just around the corner, less than a year away. It's an opportunity that people would kill for. If you don't hurry up, you'll have to live on campus when school starts."

Where would you find so much time to come back? Why don't you take advantage of being home to ask Yunyang more questions? You're no match for Yunyang in any way.

If the two were similar in appearance, Gu Changzhu might also feel jealous of his neighbor's brother.

The same principle applies even to one's own cousin.

But Gu Yunyang was far more outstanding than him. Gu Changzhu couldn't even find a reason to be jealous: "Dad, you know that's Yunyang. In the entire brigade, no, the entire commune, or even in the capital, you can't find another Yunyang."

Gu Hanping nodded: "What you say makes sense. Yunyang is the best child in our Gu family. It's a miracle that our Gu family was born into the Gu family."

Hao Pingping was startled and quickly said, "How dare you say such a thing!"

Gu Hanping said, "I'll only say this once, and no one should say it again."

After saying that, Gu Hanping changed the subject: "By the way, we also need to find someone for the boss. By the way, boss, when are you and Cao Ying going to get your divorce certificate?"

They've already registered their marriage, which is quite unusual in the countryside.

People of this era, let alone rural people, even urban residents and workers, don't have the habit of getting marriage certificates.

When the topic of finding another partner came up, Gu Changbai's face immediately turned red.

However, Gu Changbai did not leave, but only answered the last question: "We agreed to pick it up tomorrow."

"That's good." Hao Pingping seemed to have finally made up her mind. She said, "That's fine too. After you get your divorce certificate, I'll arrange for you to meet potential partners. Second brother, you can't have any more excuses. You're not young anymore. Besides, if you don't get married, will I be able to afford this house?"

Gu Changsong sighed helplessly, "Alright, alright, I'll do whatever you say."

Gu Yunyang was unaware of these things. When it got dark, he heard sounds coming from outside.

"Yunyang, are you there? We brought you some herbal tea."
