I exchanged a few words with that so-called third uncle, Gu Hanbin.
The relationship between the two sides is not very close at present, but it is better than that between ordinary members of the Red Flag Brigade.
It's so much better than Gu Hansheng's side.
Gu Hanbin was quite sensible and didn't ask Gu Yunyang for any more benefits.
Even though he knew that Gu Yunyang had come to the commune, Gu Hanbin did not ask him about it.
However, when they met today, Gu Hanbin took the initiative to ask, "Yunyang, I heard you started working at the commune?"
Gu Yunyang was somewhat surprised, wondering what Gu Hanbin meant.
Could this man be like his not-so-clear-headed wife, trying to steal his own food ration?
Gu Yunyang nodded and smiled, "Yes, I've been here for a while now."
Gu Hanbin said, "I plan to rent a house in the commune. I'll bring them here."
Um?
Is this a plan to provide housing themselves?
Is this really that absurd?
Fortunately, Gu Yunyang's idea was different from Gu Hanbin's. Gu Hanbin said, "When the time comes, we'll move to the commune, and you can come to our house for dinner."
He chuckled and said, “Before I was home, your aunt had to take care of three children and didn’t have much time. Plus, there wasn’t much good food at home. But lately, I’ve established myself at the meat processing plant. When you come over, I can buy a couple of pounds of meat and you can have a good meal.”
These words sounded quite respectable, and it also suggested that Gu Yunyang was using his position to further cultivate a closer relationship with Director Xie.
Gu Hanbin was much more clear-headed and eloquent than Du Erni.
Of course, his methods were more subtle, yet they were still quite useful.
Gu Yunyang asked in surprise, "Aren't you staying with the brigade anymore? Don't you earn work points normally?"
Gu Hanbin deliberately mentioned that Du Erni was Gu Yunyang's aunt just now, in order to tell Director Xie that Gu Yunyang was his nephew.
Gu Yunyang did not object, which can be taken as tacit agreement.
We'll also get closer to Director Xie.
Gu Yunyang neither denied nor admitted it, and simply stated the facts.
Although Gu Hanbin felt somewhat disappointed, he thought that if Gu Yunyang had called him "uncle" and "aunt," Director Xie's attitude would definitely have been better.
Previously, Gu Yunyang and Director Xie only had a cooperative relationship. Director Xie was very concerned about Gu Yunyang because Gu Yunyang had multiple business partners.
To maintain this relationship, they even gave him a job.
Now that Gu Yunyang has come to the commune as an officer, he might get promoted in the future.
Director Xie would definitely like to befriend him.
Gu Hanbin subconsciously overlooked Gu Yunyang's plan to go to university.
Gu Hanbin said, "I'm no longer staying in the brigade. My household registration has been transferred out, and the children's household registrations have also been transferred over."
Your aunt's household registration has also been transferred to ours. We receive a monthly ration of grain, plus various receipts. Now, aren't you promoting those mushroom spawn bags again?
Before, I thought that once I came to the commune, I wouldn't be able to get the mushroom spawn packs and wouldn't be able to earn any money.
We can receive it at the commune now, so we plan to rent a house here. Your aunt can grow mushrooms at home, which will cover our household expenses.
The main reason is that your aunt and I discussed it and decided to let your younger brother and sister come to the commune to study. We can see from you that studying more will lead to a better future.
Don't be like everyone else in the brigade, illiterate and with no other way out..."
That's a real consideration, but could you please stop referring to her as your aunt, your younger brother, or your younger sister all the time?
Your attempt to stage an accident is truly despicable and vulgar.
Even Director Xie, who was standing nearby, could see through his true colors. He decided to try to cover it up.
"We'll talk about it when we have time."
