But the translated materials I have are also very important.
Principal Zhong patted Zhuge Qiao's hand and reassured him, "Don't worry, twenty days is enough."
Then, Principal Zhong said to Gu Yunyang, "Don't feel pressured, take your time. The accuracy of the translation is more important. If you have the capacity, try to expedite the process."
Gu Yunyang nodded and assured him, "I will do my best. I will inevitably have to work in the fields during the summer harvest, but I will do my best. Fortunately, I have electricity here, so I can work overtime tonight."
Principal Zhong was somewhat surprised: "You have electricity here? I haven't heard anything about the Red Flag Brigade having electricity."
While Baishi Commune did get electricity, not all of the production brigades below it did.
The location of the Hongqi Brigade was not advantageous at all; the high mountains were the biggest obstacle to bringing electricity to the area.
Gu Yunyang chuckled and explained, "No, I dug a biogas digester and installed a biogas generator set. It's enough for just me."
"A biogas digester?" Before Principal Zhong could even speak, Zhuge Qiao exclaimed in surprise.
"This thing is not easy to get."
"Yes, it did cost some money." Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "Back in the capital, I saw how biogas digesters work in the library. I've also seen people build them. Coming here, it's really inconvenient without electricity, so I spent some money to build this biogas digester myself. It cost me over three hundred yuan in total."
Actually, the cost of a biogas digester itself isn't that high.
Isn't there a power generation device here too?
Otherwise, biogas alone cannot be converted into electricity.
Principal Zhong and Zhuge Qiao were quite interested and wanted to see the biogas digester.
Gu Yunyang then pointed out the way to them: "It's just behind here, Principal Zhong, would you two like to go and take a look yourselves? It's almost noon, I'll go cook. Why don't you stay and have lunch?"
Principal Zhong actually wanted to say that he didn't want to stay for dinner.
In those days, no one had any extra food.
Even when visiting relatives, people had to bring their own food.
They originally thought Gu Yunyang was at home and planned to decide whether to stay or leave after he arrived and the test was conducted.
I had no intention of staying for dinner.
So neither of them brought any food.
Gu Yunyang noticed their hesitation and smiled, "You are my teacher, why are you hesitating to stay for a meal? You know my income, and it's easy for me to get some grain in the countryside. Don't you know my capabilities?"
Principal Zhong breathed a sigh of relief. Since Gu Yunyang had said so, he agreed.
Zhuge Qiao joked, "Principal Zhong is your teacher, so he can stay for a meal. But I'm not, so how about I leave?"
Gu Yunyang never expected that the usually serious middle-aged man would suddenly be so playful.
Gu Yunyang looked at Principal Zhong with a troubled expression and said, "How about I go and borrow an oxcart for you?"
Zhuge Qiao clearly hadn't expected Gu Yunyang to say that.
For a moment, it was a little awkward.
Principal Zhong gave the two of them a disapproving look and said, "Let's go, let's go take a look at the biogas digester first. To be honest, this is the first time I've observed a biogas digester up close like this."
Gu Yunyang chuckled and said, "You two teachers can go ahead, I'm going to the kitchen to cook."
While the two went to check the biogas digester in the back, Gu Yunyang went to the kitchen.
After thinking about it, I took some rice and prepared to cook some rice.
He thought for a moment, then took out a sausage, diced it, and added some sweet potato, diced it, and put them all into the rice.
For the main dish, I'll make a sausage and sweet potato rice stew.
Then he took a piece of cured beef, a dried chicken, a dried rabbit, and picked a handful of bok choy and a handful of edamame.
He brought back two pounds of pork ribs today, and he also got two carrots, planning to make a carrot and pork rib soup.
Soon, a delicious aroma wafted from the kitchen.
Zhuge Qiao sighed, "At such a young age, he has to rely on himself for everything. He's capable in everything, both inside and outside the home. He's a child with a hard life."
"That's right," Principal Zhong remarked. "What's most remarkable is that this child hasn't gone astray; he's quite capable."
