I guess there might be some kind of underground hot spring nearby.
"When not in use, be sure to cover it with a stone slab. Just in case someone, especially a child, accidentally falls in, it would be a real problem."
Gu Hanping patiently gave another instruction.
Gu Yunyang nodded: "I understand. I also plan to build a hand pump well up there, so we won't have to carry buckets down to fetch water, we can just pump it up directly."
This uses pressure to force water down from underground.
After exchanging a few words, Gu Hanping went back.
Back home, Gu Hanping remarked to Hao Pingping, "When the brigade held a meeting, if it weren't for Yunyang standing up for me, they would have definitely said a few things to me. In the end, it's all our family's fault."
Hao Pingping remained silent; she was also furious with Cao Ying.
At this point, she felt that even if the family spent more money to marry another daughter-in-law, it would be a good thing.
If Cao Ying can be taken back by the Cao family, it wouldn't be bad for the two families to divorce.
Unfortunately, Cao Ying knew where was best for him and refused to leave no matter what.
They also like to cause trouble at home.
She's just a troublemaker.
Gu Hanping then said to Gu Changzhu, "Starting tomorrow, you should go to Yunyang to study. With grades like yours, don't even talk to me about getting into university."
Gu Changzhu was taken aback: "No need, I can just read the book myself."
Gu Hanping rambled on, saying, "What do you mean you don't need to? Just listen to me. Yunyang already said that parents plan far ahead for their children. You need to go and learn from Yunyang so you can do better on your college entrance exams. Yunyang's knowledge..."
"Okay, I'll go." Gu Changzhu had no choice but to agree in order to avoid being nagged so much.
Hao Pingping smiled and joined Gu Hanping in marveling at Gu Yunyang's extensive knowledge.
Perhaps it's because we lack something the most that we yearn for and admire the most.
The next day, when Gu Changzhu came to the mountain to find Gu Yunyang, he also made a complaint.
"He even tried to use his literary skills on me, but do you think I don't know this principle?"
Gu Yunyang didn't say much. Yesterday, he had the AI prepare a set of review materials, which he then placed in front of Gu Changzhu: "Then you can study according to this. If you have any questions, just ask me."
"Huh? So much?" Gu Changzhu wailed loudly, "Yunyang, we're brothers! You can't treat me like this, it's summer vacation now."
"This is too much?" Gu Yunyang sneered. "After you finish these, there are still three more of these. You'd better learn them quickly. If you don't, I'll tell the captain later."
After a pause, Gu Yunyang gave Gu Changzhu time to think before continuing, "You need to think this through. You only have one year left to get into university. If you don't work hard, you'll have to come back and work in the fields."
Thinking about getting to work in the fields, Gu Changzhu realized that it wasn't impossible for her to learn.
In the blink of an eye, another few days have passed.
When Gu Changzhu returned, his mind was completely blank.
"What kind of karma have I created?" Gu Changzhu wailed, only to be slapped by Hao Pingping.
"Come on, Yunyang is busy with the brigade headquarters every day. He also helps you with your studies without charging you any money, and you're still complaining."
Gu Changzhu, of course, knew what was good for her: "Mom, how could I blame him? I was just saying it casually. By the way, Mom, tomorrow is the summer harvest, I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? During the summer harvest, even your dad and Yunyang have to work in the fields. How could you be left out? You don't want your share of the grain? What will you eat then?"
Throughout the year, whether it's the brigade cadres or those from better family backgrounds, they all benefit.
Aside from people like Fan Xiangbei, who have physical disabilities but are not short of money, they don't need to work in the fields.
Everyone else should do what they can.
All the brigade cadres are coming, let alone Gu Changzhu.
Gu Changzhu let out a wail, and his resolve to study hard was completely broken.
The next morning, Gu Yunyang got up early, ate a few white sugar cakes, drank a large bottle of milk, and came downstairs to see Gu Hanping. Before he could speak, Gu Hanping spoke first: "Yunyang, go to the commune today and if there is meat, buy more of it."
