Even if I were to be reborn, it seems I wouldn't amount to much.
"It seems that my arrangements have actually been a test for you. You should thank me."
Gu Yunyang smiled inwardly.
To be honest, he came here mainly to find a place to go to the countryside.
There's no good way to say it elsewhere; he's afraid Gu Anning will seize on it and threaten to send him to the far northwest.
Gu Anning had that power at the time.
Even if Gu Yunyang causes a scene, at most it will result in a lose-lose situation, with him seriously injured and the other party slightly injured.
Only by using the excuse of coming back to find relatives can they lull the other party into a false sense of security.
As it turns out, he did a pretty good job.
Besides misjudging the attitude of my family.
"But it's alright, at least it seems that my eldest uncle and third uncle's attitudes are acceptable, and my sisters' attitudes also seem acceptable?"
When his three older sisters left, he noticed the way they looked back at him.
There were also a few cousins, and their attitude was quite good.
Now, the only family member of Uncle Gu Hanbin that I haven't met is Gu Hanbin.
It's alright, we'll see each other sooner or later.
If they have a good attitude, treat them like family.
If the attitude is bad, treat them like a stranger.
Just like Ning'an.
So he genuinely didn't care at all when he called her "auntie," which is why he blurted it out.
Yang Shengnan pulled Han Xue back, telling her not to reopen the wound.
Gu Yunyang chuckled lightly, and his cheerful smile made Yang Shengnan feel that he really didn't care.
This is truly a test of character.
"Alright, I also bought a small piece of pork belly today. I'll cut off the skin and we'll start cooking. Hmm, I see some firewood in the yard. It's probably from Gu Hansheng, otherwise we wouldn't have run into Gu Ergou. You guys go check it out and see if anything is missing. I'll start cooking and boil some water later, and also heat up the roast duck rice and roast goose we brought back for lunch."
Yang Shengnan nodded: "Okay."
The two women came in and took inventory, only to find that many things had been turned over.
For example, they each brought out two cans of malted milk powder.
One can was opened, and the spoon looked like it had some wet malted milk powder on it, which had already clumped together.
"Ugh, that's disgusting. He just scooped it out with a spoon and ate it like that, how disgusting!"
This spoon is no longer needed.
Han Xue muttered resentfully, "He should be made to carry manure."
Yang Shengnan chuckled. Angry as she was, she was finally able to get her money back today.
In addition, Gu Ergou and Widow Liu are required to work in the fields starting tomorrow and to complete eight work points.
This matter is actually beneficial to Gu Ergou and his mother.
But it can also be considered a punishment for them.
Gu Hanping's handling of the situation was fairly fair, and it allowed them, as newcomers, to gain a foothold.
As for this little bit of malted milk powder, it's nothing.
"I haven't touched this spoon. Just take out the top layer and throw it away. The bottom layer is fine."
The two women took inventory, and then simply flipped through the rest.
Han Xue stomped her foot, looked at her underwear that had been turned inside out, and said fiercely, "Don't give me the chance next time, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
Yang Shengnan smiled. This child is still kind.
Gu Yunyang quickly lit the fire. He could start the fire from the gas stove in the base space, so he didn't need matches at all.
Disposable lighters didn't exist at that time; they wouldn't become widespread in the country until the 1980s.
The term "disposable" refers to the fact that it cannot be repeatedly inflated or used.
There's a specific way to prepare the pot. First, you need to rinse it with clean water, then boil a pot of clean water with a little aged vinegar to remove any unpleasant odors.
Then clean it thoroughly, rub it with pigskin, and apply an oil layer.
Wipe it dry again, then heat it over high heat and coat it with another layer of cooking oil. After that, even when frying tofu or fish, it won't stick to the pan.
It's much better than the coated pots that came after that.
Afterwards, Gu Yunyang took a ceramic pot and boiled water, which was the boiled water they would drink later, mainly for Yang Shengnan and the others.
Gu Yunyang has his own purified water from the base's space; he's already used to drinking that.
"Bring your lunchboxes, I'll heat them up for you. After you've eaten, the water will be ready, and you can choose to take a shower and then get a good night's sleep. Starting tomorrow, you'll have to go to work in the fields. You can do less, but you can't skip it."
"good."
