Gu Yunyang was speechless. Was "cowherd" some kind of high-class term?
He even takes pride in this?
Well, in the countryside, cattle are indeed a very important tool for production.
But this doesn't mean that cowherds are some kind of high-class people.
On the contrary, almost no one is willing to take the job.
Otherwise, why would those once upright and honorable big shots be put in cowsheds after a few years?
Old Zheng hesitated for a moment, but still suggested, "Raising cattle is no small matter. Wouldn't eight work points be too few? How about ten?"
At that time, a man's maximum work points were ten.
There are eight women.
But everyone knows what happened to these educated youth who went to the countryside.
Those were all educated youths from the city; they had never worked in the fields, had no experience, weren't strong enough, and didn't know how to do farm work.
They are considered very capable if they can complete six work points.
We also need to wait for them to adjust for a period of time, until the support from their families decreases or even stops.
Only then would the educated youth harden their hearts and work hard in the fields to earn work points.
There was no other way; without earning work points, they couldn't even get enough to eat.
How could Gu Hanping not want Gu Yunyang to earn more work points?
He simply couldn't.
Too many people are watching.
The people in Dongshan Village are alright; most of them share the surname Gu and are related to each other.
Gu Yunyang is the son of the Gu family, so he will naturally be accepted.
But that inevitably leads to some gossip.
Aren't there four other villages?
They were all from other families, and everyone was staring wide-eyed at him, the brigade leader.
Otherwise, why didn't Gu Hanping dare to say anything when the company seal was lost?
He even considered carving his own seal.
In the end, though, he didn't dare.
"Let's give him eight work points for now, since Yunyang showed everyone his veterinary skills today. No one else can say anything about this arrangement. We can discuss giving him ten work points later if he can actually expand the cowshed."
If it really works out, I'd be happy to give you twelve.
This is the full twelve work points that men can only receive during the busy summer and autumn harvest seasons.
Let's leave it at that until then.
Everyone surely has their opinions.
Before Gu Yunyang came along, Old Zheng got ten work points by himself and finished the job, didn't he?
How come now that there's an extra calf and an extra person, we need to pay eight more work points?
If it weren't for Gu Yunyang helping the cow give birth to the calf in front of everyone, ensuring the safety of both the cow and the calf...
Gu Hanping couldn't make the decision directly.
Even so, he still has to discuss this with the village chiefs of each village.
Although the titles of these village chiefs no longer exist, the villagers still habitually call them village chiefs.
"The Red Flag Brigade doesn't have a Party Branch Secretary yet, shouldn't we consider it?"
Gu Hanping was startled by the thought that suddenly popped into his mind.
He then put the idea aside.
That's ridiculous. My idea is basically impossible to succeed.
This is utter nonsense.
Gu Yunyang's age and reputation don't quite fit the bill.
Gu Yunyang had no idea what Gu Hanping was thinking. If he did, his first reaction would definitely be that Gu Hanping was too daring.
My second reaction was definitely, this idea isn't impossible, is it?
Currently, he is still thinking of going to town.
