The group immediately came out, carrying a lantern, two flashlights, and the slightly bright silver moon overhead.
That was all their lighting.
The silver moon casts its dappled light, and faintly, one can see the dappled shadows under the willow trees in the distance.
The breeze rustled, resembling a struggling figure, which was quite frightening.
Fortunately, of the three people present, two are permanent residents, and although Gu Yunyang is an outsider, he is quite bold.
With power within me, I naturally have nothing to fear.
After turning a few corners, I saw three houses not too far apart in a corner of the village.
They were all mud-brick and thatched houses.
This is considered the typical house style in the village, or rather, in the entire Hongqi Brigade.
If there's an exception, it's the houses of former landlords.
For example, the educated youth settlement where Gu Yunyang is currently living consists of two brick and tile houses.
The Red Flag Brigade was relatively poor; ordinary members couldn't afford to build houses like that.
"Gu Ergou".
Gu Hanping went up and knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
Gu Hanping persisted in knocking on the door, eventually resorting to banging, until he finally heard Widow Liu's somewhat rough voice: "Who is it?"
Gu Hanping said loudly, "I am Gu Hanping. And there is Old Zheng and Gu Zhiqing, um, Gu Yunyang, little Gu."
Not long after, the door creaked open, revealing a slightly pale face.
Gu Hanping was startled.
"Captain, isn't it inappropriate for you to come to the widow's door so late at night?"
Gu Hanping was furious. Did this person think he came with ulterior motives?
Don't they realize how old they are?
If she lived in the city, she might have been able to take better care of herself and, at her current age, could still be considered to have retained her charm.
But in the countryside, especially in such a poor place as Hongqi Brigade, people worry about having enough to eat every day.
Where would one find the time or money to maintain it?
Widow Liu's skin was somewhat loose, and her wrinkles were quite noticeable.
Where does this kind of person get the confidence to think he'll come knocking on the widow's door at night?
Hmm, it seems he did knock on the widow's door just now?
But there are different ways to knock on a widow's door, aren't there?
"Stop talking nonsense. Where's Gu Ergou? Didn't he change jobs today? Why didn't he go to the cowshed?"
After Gu Hanping finished speaking, Old Zheng knew it was his turn to step forward. He immediately stepped forward and said coldly, "I've been waiting in the cowshed for half a day, and I haven't seen Gu Ergou come even at midnight."
If I hadn't been tied up at the cowshed, I would have come to find Gu Ergou long ago.
Now that Gu Ergou has become a cowherd, do I have to come and ask him to go back to feeding the cattle?
Gu Yunyang was both curious and somewhat understanding.
Gu Ergou has been lazy and good-for-nothing for so many years.
It's so noisy, how come he's still not awake?
Or was she awake, but she didn't want to come out?
Widow Liu, used to taking advantage of others, didn't take Old Zheng's words seriously and said, "I thought it was a big deal. Wasn't it always your job, Old Zheng? Why didn't you just do it yourself? Why did you have to make the trip, in the middle of the night? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were going to climb over my fence."
"Pooh."
Old Zheng never married in his life; everyone knew he devoted himself entirely to the cows in the cowshed.
This is a contribution to the brigade.
It wasn't that no one had tried to introduce potential partners to Old Zheng before, but he rejected them all.
As for what Widow Liu said, no one would believe it.
But Old Zheng still spat and said, "What are you dreaming about?"
That was in the past. Now there's one more person in the cowshed. I can't do everything. What would be the point of having your Gu Ergou?
I did everything, while Gu Ergou just lay around earning work points?
Do all the good things in the world fall into your lap?
"He's ugly, but he has such beautiful dreams."
Gu Yunyang almost laughed at Old Zheng's words.
However, Old Zheng has a sharp tongue; how come I never noticed before?
