Gu Hongmei was a little shy and planned to avoid it.
Gu Yunyang stopped her directly: "Today we're here to talk about your business, no need to avoid it. We need to clear things up later, so I can worry less about things outside."
He studied agriculture, so he'll definitely be going to various places to conduct experiments.
He had to find plant samples and such himself.
Don't assume that agricultural majors can just work in the school's nursery.
Good seeds are often obtained by finding the best qualities of other plants and then hybridizing them.
For example, those red, sweet watermelons we have today—there weren't watermelons this good back then.
These are all superior varieties that scientists have hybridized using plants such as melons.
Gu Honglan pulled her older sister down to sit.
Not long after, Song Simu brought in a middle-aged man.
Upon seeing Gu Yunyang, the middle-aged man quickly took a few steps forward and extended his hand, saying, "So it's Technician Gu! When Xiao Song mentioned it before, I was wondering if it was related to you. I didn't expect it to really be you."
Song Simu was somewhat surprised. The middle-aged man turned around and smiled, "You don't know, do you? All the workers in our sugar factory were trained by Technician Gu. Even now, many times when we encounter problems, we still have to ask Technician Gu for advice."
Song Simu remembered that this sugar factory itself was upgraded from the sugar workshop of the Hongqi Brigade.
Therefore, many of the people working in the sugar factory were from the Red Flag Brigade.
Some people had questioned this before, but the commune said, "This was originally a sugar workshop belonging to the Hongqi Brigade, a good family. Now that we've expanded, we can't just drive away the people from the Hongqi Brigade, can we?"
Song Simu never expected that the people at the sugar factory were all trained by Gu Yunyang.
The middle-aged man continued, "Moreover, I heard that the sugar factory was able to get started thanks to the technology brought by Technician Gu. It's just like the mushroom cultivation factory in the commune. Without Technician Gu, there wouldn't be factories like ours, and our commune wouldn't have developed so well."
Song Simu then remembered that Gu Yunyang was a college student. Were all college students this capable?
Since they were all acquaintances, they all knew Gu Yunyang's capabilities.
Things went much more smoothly from then on.
Gu Yunyang didn't ask for much, only that Song Simu take good care of Gu Hongmei.
Song Simu is currently penniless, and even her place to stay was provided by Gu Yunyang.
It's already very kind of them not to make him a son-in-law.
He didn't have that many opinions.
Gu Hongmei wasn't particularly opinionated to begin with, but for her younger brother's sake, she mustered her spirits and didn't want to appear too weak or cowardly.
The other party also felt that Gu Yunyang's family was so well-off that they were willing to return all the betrothal gifts.
In addition, a dowry was prepared, which was much more generous than the bride price.
Although it was stated in name that these things belonged to the woman.
But since the family lived together, the girl wasn't a particularly domineering person.
Can we really not take out any of this money?
Just think about it, and you'll realize it's impossible.
When Song Simu and the middle-aged man left, they had relaxed and smiling faces.
The Gu family hasn't dispersed yet.
With Gu Hanping as a witness, Gu Yunyang took out an envelope and gave it to Gu Hongmei, saying, "That courtyard house, and all the furniture inside, are your dowry. Don't tell anyone at first; just put them in a chest as a keepsake."
Or you can give it to your third sister first, and then take it back after you've seen the man's condition clearly."
Gu Hanping was taken aback; the dowry Gu Yunyang gave was truly extravagant.
Gu Yunyang then pushed out another large box, a large box made of camphor wood.
"I have three sets of clothes for each of the four seasons. I also have three sets of quilts for winter and spring. I'll give you the best fabrics I have stored away: three bolts each of khaki, sky blue, and light green, as well as some ham, dried rabbit, and the like..."
