Gu Hongmei picked up a hoe, while Gu Honglan chose a sickle. Gu Honglan had arranged for her two younger sisters to stay at the pigsty for two days.
The two older sisters and the third sister were preparing to join the brigade's land reclamation team to go into the mountains to reclaim wasteland.
If you want to establish a female household, you should do so in the village.
They should be able to do the same things that men do.
Last night, Gu Honglan analyzed for Gu Hongmei the reasons why Gu Yunyang had made such arrangements for them.
Firstly, Gu Hongmei has already married and moved out of the area.
Moving back now means competing with the brigade for work points and grain.
This happened just as Gu Yunyang had applied for permission from the commune to reclaim fifty acres of wasteland.
They had to pay the price of clearing five acres of wasteland in exchange for this opportunity.
Another reason is to let them showcase themselves.
What men can do, women can do too.
In this way, I will be able to gain a foothold in the brigade in the future.
Although Gu Hongmei couldn't speak, she agreed with Gu Honglan's analysis.
"Secretary Gu." The two had just reached the halfway point of the mountain when they encountered Gu Yunyang.
Originally, Gu Honglan called Gu Yunyang "Yunyang".
But thinking about it, since we'll be living in the brigade from now on and need to establish a female household, we should still call Gu Yunyang Secretary Gu.
Gu Yunyang nodded, noticing that they had towels wrapped around their heads and straw hats on top.
The clothes he was wearing were all patched up; they were work clothes.
This means they've made up their minds to start clearing the land.
This determination is commendable.
"By the way, aren't you bringing any water?"
People always bring water when they go up the mountain to work, or they have children at home who will bring them water.
Gu Yunyang knew that Gu Honglan and the others probably didn't have this tool.
You can tell from the clothes they're wearing.
"You can borrow this kettle for now. I have another one; you can return it to me when you have your own."
After saying that, Gu Yunyang handed over his military water bottle and put it into Gu Honglan's arms.
"this……"
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Honglan accepted it and winked at Gu Hongmei.
"See, I knew that although my brother seemed cold and distant on the surface, he actually cared about us a lot."
Gu Hongmei also smiled, her two beautiful curves resembling a rainbow.
Yes, my brother still cares about them.
In fact, Gu Yunyang was capable of helping, and the other party wasn't the type to take advantage of him, so he helped if he could.
In any case, both the base space he possessed and his own abilities gave him the confidence to do so.
Once they reached the halfway point up the mountain, Gu Honglan suddenly asked, "Secretary Gu, can the four of us sisters ask for a plot of land here to build a mud house? This morning, the brigade leader came to us and said he would get us some mud bricks and build it in three to five days, and asked us to find a plot of land."
They thought of this place right then and there.
Located halfway up the mountain, it is sheltered from the wind, and can block most of the summer typhoons.
Most importantly, it's a bit far from Dongshan Village, so you won't be seen and gossiped about by the villagers every day.
This place is also very close to Gu Yunyang's house, so if there's any problem, Gu Yunyang will notice it immediately.
What else could they not believe about their own brother?
Gu Yunyang didn't seem to care: "It's alright, if you're willing, just ask the brigade leader to decide."
You really need to get the house set up quickly.
After all, you're not educated youth sent to the countryside; conflicts with them are inevitable.
People say that one girl is equivalent to five hundred ducks.
What's coming soon are 1,500 ducks.
