Gao Shujing: "Captain Fang has been a great help to me. I was worried about where to find a car before, but with Captain Fang here, I'm all set."

"Once your power lines are back, Captain Fang should let Captain Huang know. I'll be on standby."

With Captain Fang's help, they no longer needed to take a bus to the commune first and then find a vehicle to return to the brigade.

Tongfeng Brigade and Shangfen Brigade are on the same route. It's only a ten-minute walk from a fork in the road back to Tongfeng Brigade to Shangfen Brigade. Brigade Leader Fang simply had the car deliver the things directly to Gao Shujing's doorstep.

Hearing the car stop at the door, Yu Rujia came out and saw Gao Shujing and the others unloading things from the car.

The children clung to Yu Rujia's legs, looking towards the car. When Duolu saw the familiar figure, he happily pulled on her trouser leg with one hand and pointed at Gao Shujing with the other, saying, "Uncle, it's Uncle."

Yu Rujia patted the little guy's head: "Yes, it's Uncle. You wait here. When Uncle is done with his work, you can go and play with Uncle."

Duolu: "Auntie, there are so many bags, are they for food?"

Yu Rujia: "Once Uncle takes the things home, we'll know what's inside."

Captain Fang had to rush back to handle some work, so he put down his things, said goodbye to Gao Shujing, and left.

In the dead of winter with nothing much to do, the women became curious when they saw a car arrive at the Gao family's house and a large pile of things being unloaded.

The predecessor of Tongfeng Brigade was a bandit den. Captain Fang and his team members had fierce looks, and the older women didn't dare to approach them. They could only watch from a distance.

Now that the people and the car had left, they couldn't help but go up and ask what they wanted to know.

An older woman looked at the unfamiliar face of Gao Guojing and asked, "Gao, is this a new educated youth?"

Gao Shujing: "This is my younger brother, Gao Guojing. He came to visit me during his winter vacation and brought some things over."

Another older woman's eyes darted among the pile of things on the ground: "Did they move their whole house here? What do Gao Zhiqing's family do? They're so rich!"

Gao Shujing: "These are all large items that take up space, but they're not worth much. I have other things to do, so I won't entertain you ladies."

"Gao Zhiqing is busy, don't worry about us, we'll just take a look and leave."

Not long ago, there was an incident where people who spoke ill of Yu Rujia refused to have their electricity connected.

Although the real reason for the lack of electricity was that there weren't enough wires, in the past, when there wasn't enough good stuff to go around, it was always given to the families with more work points.

This time, the arrangement was based on performance, and it's obvious that Gao Shujing, who is behind Yu Rujia, brought this up in front of Captain Huang.

Those households without electricity have ruined their reputations; everyone knows they were abandoned because of spreading rumors and causing trouble.

I heard that Huang Dawei's eldest grandson hired a matchmaker and offered a high price, but no one was willing to marry their daughter into his family. Other families without electricity also had the same difficulty in finding a spouse.

Captain Huang also said that if there isn't enough stuff to go around in the future, it will be distributed according to this standard.

With the electricity supply in hand, the members of the Shangfen Brigade became more nervous, afraid that if they said something wrong, Gao Shujing would remember it and bring it up in front of Captain Huang, which would lower their score and affect their reputation.

Gao Guojing walked into the house, glanced at the few children timidly hiding behind Yu Rujia, and awkwardly greeted her: "Sister Rujia."

Yu Rujia said casually, "Guojing, you must be tired after running around for two days. Come in and have a cup of hot water to warm yourself up."

Having known her for so long, this was the first time Gao Guojing had met Yu Rujia with such a kind and gentle demeanor. He was somewhat flattered: "Sister Rujia, you're too kind. I'm not very tired. Thank you for your kindness. Do you remember me? I'm Uncle Guojing."

Duofu looked at Yu Rujia with his big, questioning eyes, wanting her to clear things up.

Yu Rujia gave Duofu a push: "This is Uncle Guojing, Uncle Shujing's younger brother. He used to play with you when you were little. Come on, call him Uncle Guojing."

Duofu held her hand and greeted Gao Guojing: "Hello, Uncle Guojing."

Gao Guojing rubbed his little head: "Oh, good boy. I'll be staying here for a month. Duofu, you have to play with me a lot."

After greeting Duofu, Gao Guojing greeted the remaining three little ones without showing favoritism.

Gao Guojing: "Duolu, Duoshou, and Duoxi are the same; we play together."

Upon hearing the word "play," the brave warrior Duolu rushed out with a big smile and said, "Hello, Uncle Guojing, I am Duolu."

Duo Shou peeked out from behind Yu Rujia and said in a soft voice, "Hello, Uncle Guojing, I am Duo Shou."

Duoxi is one year old. He calls Gao Shujing "uncle" every day. Now another "uncle" Guojing has appeared. These two uncles are different. His big eyes are busy going back and forth between Gao Shujing, who is moving things, and Gao Guojing, who is rubbing Duoxi's little head.

Finally, she pointed at Gao Shujing with her little hand: "Auntie, Uncle."

Yu Rujia understood what he meant and patiently explained, "That's Uncle Shujing, and this is Uncle Guojing. Duoxi can play with Uncle Guojing in the future."

Duoxi said he couldn't tell the difference, but he knew it when they played together. He often played with his older brothers: "Play, Uncle, play."

Gao Guojing reached out and grabbed his little hand: "Okay, play, Uncle loves to play with us."

Seeing Duolu standing next to Gao Guojing, Duoxi boldly moved out from behind Yu Rujia, following his force.

Gao Guojing was at the age where he loved to play and was more outgoing than Gao Shujing and Yu Rujia. He quickly became friends with the other kids.

After Ru Jia and Gao Shujing prepared dinner, the group sat down next to Gao Guojing to eat, and even Duo Xi handed him her small wooden bowl.

Gao Guojing thought Duoxi was bringing him a bowl, and said happily, "Duoxi is so kind. She knows Uncle Guojing is hungry and brought him a bowl."

Duoxi patted her little chest and said in a childish voice, "Xi, eat."

Yu Rujia, who had just put down a plate of food, said, "He asked you to serve him porridge, not for you."

Gao Guojing, having been presumptuous, didn't seem embarrassed at all. He quickly ladled out some porridge, took a spoon, and pulled Duoxi into his arms, saying, "Come on, Duoxi, let's eat some porridge."

Upon seeing her food rations, Duoxi nestled in his arms and urged, "Eat, eat, eat."

When Gao Guojing fed Duo Xi for the first time, he was too rough and messy, making Duo Xi's mouth full of porridge and spilling some on his clothes.

Duoxi, a one-year-old child, didn't pay much attention to these things, but Duofu, who was sitting next to him, couldn't stand it.

The little guy patted Gao Guojing's arm: "Uncle Guojing, let me feed Duoxi." He had fed Duoxi many times and was experienced, so he wouldn't spill the porridge.

Gao Guojing, unaware of his thoughts, refused, saying, "Duofu is still young. He should just eat his own food. Uncle Guojing will feed Duoxi."
