Gu Yunyang got up very early the next morning.
He went to the cowshed to set up the oxcart, and as soon as he finished, Old Zheng came over to thank him: "Those biscuits were delicious."
Gu Yunyang was taken aback. He had secretly given it to Old Zheng yesterday, and Old Zheng had already thanked him.
Old Zheng laughed and said, "Later, the brigade leader gave me two more slices. They weren't big, but they tasted good. By the way, the brigade leader said that everyone over 55 years old would get them. And children under six years old would also get them."
Gu Yunyang was taken aback; the old man seemed to be fine.
He couldn't possibly calculate it based on the retirement age of later generations.
Actually, at this point, fifty years old is already considered quite old.
But the child only received the treatment until age six?
Yes, there are quite a few children in the group.
There weren't many cookies, but it's not like they should only be given to children under six.
He deliberately made the cookies smaller so that they would rise more.
"Okay, I got it. Old Zheng, put all the milk away, I'll come back for it later."
As he left, Gu Yunyang was still considering things.
"This job needs to be done by someone. Han Xue is quite suitable, but what about Yang Shengnan?"
Gu Yunyang wanted to find them some simple and easy jobs.
There aren't many cattle now, so we'll just treat them as farm work.
When there are more people later, we can arrange a job for them.
"Huh? We can take an oxcart?" Han Xue came out happily and climbed up herself.
Yang Shengnan is more composed.
After they were seated, Gu Yunyang drove the oxcart out.
He pondered for a while on the way.
Since there's only one person doing this job, it's not convenient for him to assign another person.
Yang Shengnan reminded them, "Aren't we getting off the bus? On our first day here."
Gu Yunyang was startled awake and realized that they had reached a rather steep section.
"No need, I made a regulator. I can control any weight under 400 pounds."
As they were talking, the oxcart had already come up.
Yang Shengnan was initially a little worried, but after finding that Gu Yunyang could indeed keep her in check, she stopped worrying.
Instead, he asked, "By the way, I've noticed you've been deep in thought the whole way. Is something troubling you?"
Since Yang Shengnan had asked, Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and then repeated what he had just said: "These cookies are easy to make, especially after I had someone bring back the molds. We can assign one of you two to make these; that will count as completing a day's work in the fields. I'll discuss it with the team leader later; this work will be worth four work points for now. But..."
But there's nothing that can be done about the other person.
Yang Shengnan thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, you can arrange for Han Xue. I'm adapting quite well."
Compared to Han Xue, who was pampered since childhood and never did anything.
Yang Shengnan at least had some military training.
Her personality was shaped by military training; she is decisive and resolute.
Han Xue wanted to decline again, but Yang Shengnan firmly said, "Alright, let's not keep passing the buck. Besides, if Comrade Gu encounters a similar opportunity in the future, won't he take care of me?"
The three of them could be considered friends.
Gu Yunyang was also somewhat familiar with them.
Moreover, both of them came from wealthy families.
Even if there are bargains, they won't just take advantage of them.
If a team member is assigned to do this, they will definitely lose some cookies every day.
They would either taste it or secretly take it home for their children to eat.
Such things are unavoidable.
We're too poor.
Gu Yunyang still remembers his past life, before the end of the world.
He was an executive at a company that made shoes.
The female workers would often secretly put their shoes inside their clothes and smuggle them out.
This shoe factory wasn't very large, and it was a job that Gu Yunyang found just two years after graduating.
Management wasn't that strict.
