Chapter 163 Waiting to see the joke, Granny Hong's thank-you gift (2/2)



It's okay if I do a little more; he's always done these things anyway.

The calf was growing well. There had been calves in previous years, but they had all died young.

Old Zheng had no idea what was going on.

It's probably due to the cow's poor health.

Perhaps it was due to a lack of attention at the time?

Fortunately, this calf is growing very well this year and looks quite energetic.

Gu Yunyang used two bamboo baskets with hooks to collect the vegetable leaves, and then used a carrying pole to lift them up.

These few leafy greens are enough to last us for a while.

When he returned to the educated youth settlement, he found that there were already people there.

"Grandma Hong, what happened to you? You've been discharged from the hospital? Are you feeling better?"

It has been five days since I arrived here.

Er Gouzi has been in the hospital for several days, but he looks better now.

Gu Yunyang's medical skills are not very good, or rather, he is only half-skilled.

He only learned some first aid and pharmaceutical manufacturing; he's not really capable of prescribing medicine for people.

However, he has a wood-based ability that allows him to sense Er Gouzi's vitality and thus determine his health.

Grandma Hong nodded with a smile: "They're all better now. The fever seemed to fluctuate a bit these past few days in the hospital. The doctor said it wasn't necessarily because the river water got into their lungs; it could also be because the child was frightened. But they've recovered a lot in the last two days, so the doctor let us discharge them."

Then, Granny Hong patted Er Gouzi's head and said, "Quickly thank your brother. Thanks to him, otherwise..."

As she spoke, Grandma Hong's voice choked with emotion.

Er Gouzi also politely thanked him, saying, "Thank you, brother."

It's clear that although Er Gouzi is still young, he has been well-mannered by Granny Hong.

"It's nothing, no need for that. It was just a small favor." Gu Yunyang smiled and saw Granny Hong take out a handkerchief, pull out a ten-yuan note, and hand it to Gu Yunyang.

Gu Yunyang quickly waved his hand: "Just give me my five yuan, and keep the rest for Er Gouzi to eat some nutrition."

Grandma Hong shook her head: "Take it. Actually, we're not short of money."

All the men in my family have sacrificed their lives.

Is the government going to ignore us?

Actually, I receive a pension every month, but I never dare to take more than enough; it's enough for my grandson and me to live on.

Grandma Hong smiled and explained, adding another patch. She hadn't taken more than she was entitled to; the rest should be kept at the Veterans Affairs Department.

Gu Yunyang wasn't envious of their compensation money, but he admired Granny Hong's wisdom.

Everyone else is poor, except for Grandma Hong's family, who are wealthy?

Although it was all paid back by the men of her family with their lives, a family of loyal martyrs, the compensation they received was for their sacrifices.

It cannot be ruled out that some people are envious and want to take advantage of the situation.

Human nature is just that complex.

Where there are good people, there will naturally be bad people.

Gu Yunyang was forced to accept ten yuan, which made him both amused and exasperated. After thinking about it, he realized that he didn't really like malted milk powder anyway, and at this time, it was indeed a high-end nutritional product.

But he didn't really like the taste.

I went inside, found a can of malted milk powder, and handed it to Grandma Hong: "Take this can of malted milk powder home and drink it. I don't really like the taste anyway. Last time some friends came over, they brought me two more cans, and I can't possibly finish them all."

Grandma Hong hesitated for a moment, but still accepted it. However, she took out thirty yuan and stuffed it into Gu Yunyang's hand: "Don't refuse. You know, if I really need money, I can go to my work unit and get my previous pension back. This malted milk powder requires coupons; you can't buy it even if you have money. It's already a great favor that you're willing to share a can with us."

Gu Yunyang had no choice but to accept it.

Thinking about it, this isn't so bad. They obviously don't want to owe too many favors. They gave me an extra five yuan before, and now they refuse to accept this malted milk powder.

Debts of gratitude are the hardest to repay.

Once Gu Yunyang understood, he naturally stopped refusing and simply accepted it.

The old man was a good person, and he didn't want the other party to keep thinking about repaying the favor.

"Are Gu, Yang, and Han, the educated youth, here?"
