I was skeptical before.
But today I tasted it myself, so there's no faking it.
Before leaving, Fan Xiangbei gave one more instruction: "The sugar-making process must be kept secret. No matter who asks, don't answer or tell anyone. From now on, we need to keep a close eye on this workshop. No one is allowed to enter the workshop unless it's absolutely necessary. That includes me."
Fan Xiangbei, a highly respected man, took the initiative to speak.
There's not much else to say.
Gao Cuiping, who had opened her mouth, closed it again.
Gu Yunyang saw all of this, took out a flashlight, and sent the others back.
Then he turned around and went back.
He still has a lot to do.
Over there, as Gu Hanping and Gu Changbai were heading home after dropping off Fan Xiangbei, Gu Hanping said, "Did Yunyang give you the candy just now?"
Gu Changbai nodded: "Yes, I saw that he ate only a little bit."
Gu Hanping smiled and said, "It seems that he still feels close to us relatives. You are brothers, and you will definitely support each other in the future."
After a pause, Gu Hanping said, "We say we're supporting each other, but actually, I can see that Yunyang is capable and willing to help his relatives. We're all from the countryside, we don't have much experience, all we can give him is our sincerity. From now on, we'll work hard for Yunyang and treat him with sincerity."
Gu Hanping is an experienced man; what hasn't he seen?
He knew that only by being sincere could he earn Gu Yunyang's care.
Gu Changbai paused for a moment, then nodded firmly: "I know, Dad. What can they expect from us? We have neither money nor power. We've always been taking advantage of them."
"You're right, we should help him with more things in the future."
Gu Hanping sighed, "Second son, you don't cherish such a good son."
Gu Changbai tentatively asked, "What about Yunyang and Second Uncle?"
Gu Hanping also felt regret; didn't he want to?
But the lady of the house didn't think that way.
Ning An, that woman, is too...
"Forget it, let's not talk about them anymore. I've figured out Yunyang; he doesn't like troublesome things. I guess there's nothing we can do about your second aunt's side. But I don't think he has any objections to your cousins. At least he didn't refuse Honglan; he even found her an easy job at the pigsty. By the way, about the pigsty, once I've arranged the work tomorrow and brought the piglets back, we should start preparing."
Gu Changbai seemed to understand but not quite. After returning, Gu Hanping told him to wash his feet and then he quickly went to sleep.
Back in the room, Hao Pingping heard the noise and sat up, asking, "How is it? What happened?"
"It's nothing."
Gu Hanping said, then took out the piece of maltose that he had hidden and handed it to Hao Pingping: "Keep it, and give it to your grandchildren later."
"What is that?"
Hao Pingping stood up and took it: "Candy?"
She suddenly realized: "The sugar production was successful?"
Although excited, Gu Hanping suppressed his emotions and said, "Yes, don't get too excited. Yunyang is a capable person. He was originally going to take the college entrance exam in the capital. But he came here..."
“Some of it has been overlooked.” Hao Pingping continued, got up, walked to the cabinet, opened it, took out an oilcloth bag, and put the maltose inside.
In this era, anything you have has to be hidden.
These things, if left for future generations, might not be eaten by children.
But in those days, these were precious snacks for the children of the Red Flag Brigade.
We might only have the chance to eat it during the Chinese New Year.
When Gu Changbai returned, he did the same, giving the maltose to Cao Ying: "Put it away carefully, and let Gao Yang and Gao Ni try some later."
"Give it to Gao Yang. Gao Ni is too young to eat candy," Cao Ying said, secretly taking a lick of it herself.
Gu Changbai noticed this and wanted to say something, but in the end, considering that he hadn't given her a good life either, he swallowed his words.
He remembered what he had thought about earlier and fumbled to take out the note from the pocket of the clothes he had been wearing, but after searching for a long time he couldn't find it. Cao Ying asked somewhat nervously, "What are you looking for?"
