Chapter 133 Rumors are more ferocious than tigers, what did you buy that's so heavy? (2/2)



It's made into preserved mustard greens, which can be stir-fried with meat or used to make braised pork belly with preserved mustard greens. The taste is alright.

He doesn't eat fresh mustard greens; it's purely a matter of personal taste.

Once in the car, Gu Yunyang gave a soft shout.

The oxen driving the cart had already started moving, which made Yang Shengnan a little curious: "How did you learn to drive like that?"

Gu Yunyang shrugged: "I don't know. I learned it from an old master when I was a kid in the suburbs of Beijing."

Gu Yunyang didn't want to continue this topic.

This involves Gu Yunyang's beast-taming ability, so let's not say too much about it.

Yang Shengnan seemed to sense it too, and changed the subject, asking, "I see you bought two pots?"

Gu Yunyang nodded: "Okay, I'll take a bite, and you two will take a bite each."

After that, I told the brigade leader that we should go out and build a house as soon as possible.

Although the situation in the brigade was not good, it had already set a precedent for receiving educated youth.

Later, neither the commune nor the educated youth office could force the Red Flag Brigade to close its doors and stop accepting educated youth.

Gu Yunyang sighed inwardly. Sending educated youth to the countryside was a trend of the times.

It's not a trend that forms just because someone makes a few calls to it.

Rather, it's because of population growth, insufficient job opportunities within cities, and an inability to supply enough food for so many people.

That's why a set of policies was introduced.

Sending idle people from the city to the countryside will prevent these people from just loitering around on the streets, being lazy and competitive.

In addition, with these people going to the countryside, the pressure on urban residents to meet their food rations will be reduced.

As for competing with fellow villagers for grain?

There's nothing we can do about it.

Han Xue suddenly asked, "But, Gu Zhiqing, neither Shengnan nor I can cook. What should we do?"

Looking into her big, bright eyes, Gu Yunyang understood her unspoken message.

Can we eat together?

Gu Yunyang, of course, refused to eat with them.

He has plenty of meat to eat, so why would he want to eat with these two girls?

Wouldn't that mean lowering one's standard of living?

But that's not how it works.

The three of them are already friends, so saying this is too blunt and could easily hurt feelings.

Gu Yunyang could only say tactfully, "Just like I told you earlier, be careful of Widow Ji and her son Liu Heguang."

If we lived together in the educated youth settlement, that would be fine.

But the educated youth settlement won't always be just the three of us. Do you really want to cook with other people?

Even if we build houses nearby and eat together every day, it's easy for misunderstandings and rumors to arise.

I don't care.

Gu Yunyang looked at the two of them and said sincerely, "But you are both good girls, and this society is too cruel to women."

You yourselves should know how important reputation is to a girl, shouldn't you?

Even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run, right?

Gu Yunyang made this choice mainly because he didn't want to lower his standard of living.

But his concern for the two women was genuine.

It's just that the percentage is a little lower.

Yang Shengnan understood Gu Yunyang's good intentions and immediately pulled Han Xue aside.

"Han Xue, stop talking. Gu Zhiqing is right, although rumors stop with the wise."

But there are too many unwise people in this society.

Rumors are more dangerous than tigers; let's be careful.

Yang Shengnan sensed Gu Yunyang's sincerity, but she always felt that this matter seemed to involve far more than just this one thing.

But she didn't know the real reason.

Who would have thought that Gu Yunyang secretly possessed supernatural abilities and was never short of food?

"By the way, why do I feel like the things you bought today are really heavy, Gu Zhiqing? Just now, the ground even shook."
