"What?"
Hao Pingping and the others were stunned: "Aren't they here to steal our food?"
That's the logic, but you can't put it that way.
Hao Pingping seemed to realize she had said something wrong and quickly apologized, "Um, Yunyang, I wasn't talking about you."
Gu Yunyang chuckled, seemingly unconcerned.
No matter where he is, he will definitely have enough food to eat.
Whether in the city or in the countryside.
The base has countless resources, enough for him to use however he wants.
"fine."
Gu Yunyang smiled, and Gu Hanping said, "Of course, Yunyang has brought us a lot of benefits since he came."
Let's not even talk about the sugar-making workshops.
We've planted quite a few sweet potatoes in the orchard, and they're almost ready to grow.
These days, we still need to clear some land; then we'll plant some more crops.
As he spoke, Gu Hanping suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, I think the weather is getting weirder and weirder."
At this time of year, a typhoon usually hits our area, bringing torrential rain.
But this year?
It hasn't rained for ages this year; I'm afraid we're going to have a tough time."
Gu Hanping looked at Gu Yunyang and said, "If you hadn't mentioned it before, I wouldn't have noticed these things."
If you put it that way, grain prices will probably continue to decline in the next two years. Won't that mean even more educated youth will have to be sent down to the countryside?
This is a very heavy topic.
They returned to their unit and went home.
Hao Pingping was still a little worried: "Tell me, with all these educated youth going to the countryside, where are we going to get so much land for them to cultivate?"
Regarding Gu Yunyang's earlier mention of the lack of sufficient food in the city.
Hao Pingping was also very worried.
"Life in our brigade had finally looked a little better. But..."
Gu Hanping glanced at her, his eyes widening as he said, "Alright, enough of that. This is national policy; it's not something you can discuss."
When things are decided by those above, they can at most try to get away with it by being cunning.
But if the higher-ups insist on forcing it in, didn't Gu Hanping fail to resist before?
It was like when Gu Yunyang went to a meeting before, and the higher-ups insisted on sending in three female educated youths.
All Gu Yunyang could do was ask the commune for subsidies so he could get the money to repair his house.
As for refusing, there's nothing we can do about it.
"Alright, get ready, we'll call a few elders over. We'll divide the family property in the next couple of days."
Hao Pingping was stunned, turned around, and asked incredulously, "Are you really going to separate the family?"
She was still reluctant, not because she was unwilling, but because: "You know, in the village, in the brigade, and even in the commune, where are there families with children who are still unmarried, and they just divide up their households? If word gets out, how awful will that sound?"
Isn't the point of life to save face?
This matter may seem like a small thing.
But once they split up, it's foreseeable that they'll be criticized by the other members of the brigade.
Gu Hanping had already spoken with Gu Yunyang once, and he felt that he agreed with Gu Yunyang's words.
Leaving the eldest son's family at home, the eldest son's wife still harbored resentment.
But even if they stay at home, the family's income won't increase by a single penny.
On the contrary, if they separate, their family can raise two more pigs and a few more chickens.
"Go ahead, let's get ready and divide the family property. Forced relationships won't work. Since she wants it, let's separate. Let her run the household herself, let her see if running a household is so easy."
