Want to grow mushrooms?

In fact, Han Xue and Yang Shengnan have already conceived.

But the educated youth were a new phenomenon, and no one knew how to handle them before.

The educated youth were counted as a whole, and together they were considered as a family.

Then, the educated youth would raise three to five chickens together and prepare fifty mushroom spawn bags.

Or should we calculate them individually?

This is troublesome.

The number of people in the educated youth settlement was not fixed, but each family consisted of more than a dozen people.

Gu Yunyang had always been curious: now that the family had separated, they could raise more chickens.

Why have these large families remained together for so many years?

Perhaps, just as he thought, his mother-in-law had endured many years of hardship and wanted to show off her status as a mother-in-law.

It's also possible that the family didn't have enough housing, and there was simply nowhere to live after the family split up.

In short, there are many reasons, and they are quite complex.

Gu Yunyang didn't dwell on it; it was pointless anyway.

However, Gu Yunyang planned to make some careful arrangements regarding the educated youth.

Gu Yunyang said, "It's definitely not feasible for each educated youth in the educated youth settlement to be responsible for one household. If there are a dozen or so educated youth in the settlement, raising thirty or fifty chickens would be unreasonable."

But it wouldn't do to prevent the educated youth from raising chickens.

Now that we've gone to the countryside, we're one with the villagers and team members.

“You can consider it. However, I initially gave you fifty mushroom bags because I had Han and Yang, the educated youths, as a pilot project. Now that I think about it, it was indeed a bit ill-considered.”

Gu Yunyang looked at Han Xue and Yang Shengnan and said apologetically, "Everyone has seen what's going on at the educated youth settlement, so I still have to go to the commune tomorrow to talk to Secretary Hao and get a standard set."

I reckon that Secretary Hao requires each household to have only fifty mushroom bags.

So, the number of educated youth in each of the designated educated youth settlements was probably not very large.

Now there are fifty of you two together, maybe a little too many?

Han Xue opened her mouth, this matter...

Yang Shengnan, however, considered things more carefully. After thinking for a moment, she nodded in agreement with Gu Yunyang, saying, "You've thought it through very well. We can't let others find a weakness in us."

Previously, it could be described as an experiment, which is fine.

You should ask Secretary Hao, and it would be best to hold a meeting and draw up some rules.

Then you won't have to worry.

Gu Yunyang glanced apologetically at the two of them and said, "This is also my first time serving as the brigade secretary, and the affairs of educated youth are quite complicated. I didn't think things through beforehand, so I'm sorry."

Yang Shengnan didn't think much of it at first, while Han Xue thought she had already planted fifty mushroom bags.

Now they're saying they might not be able to make that many.

I have some thoughts on my mind.

But since Gu Yunyang apologized so directly, she didn't know what to say.

She's not short of money anyway; her parents send her a lot of things every month.

With two large packages delivered every month, which member of the Red Flag Brigade wouldn't envy them?

Han Xue immediately said, "It's okay, I'm not short of money anyway. I'll go to the post office in a couple of days to ask if this month's packages have arrived yet. So many people in the village envy me."

Gu Yunyang frowned; those two large packages were a bit too eye-catching.

Yang Shengnan noticed Gu Yunyang's expression and quickly asked, "Is there a problem with this?"

Gu Yunyang countered, "When you came back with the packages, didn't you notice the looks in the eyes of the women from the village who came back with you? You're far from home now, and you're all alone here."

After a pause, Gu Yunyang reminded, "If any young men offer to help you with chores in the future, you must refuse. If you can't refuse, you must let the brigade leader know, understand?"

Before Han Xue could think much of it, Yang Shengnan was startled: "Really?"

"What's wrong?"
