"Chicken feathers? You want to make a shuttlecock?"
Gu Yunyang didn't expose Da Ya's little scheme about casually looking for chicken feathers.
Thinking to myself, "When I get back, I'll collect some pheasant feathers and make her a shuttlecock."
The main reason is that I didn't have this idea before. Hei Zi and Hei Mei often bring back wild chickens, but Gu Yunyang never keeps them.
Actually, chicken feathers are quite useful; some people even collected them before.
The famous "chicken feathers for sugar" trade is a reflection and microcosm of national commerce.
Gu Yunyang doesn't lack those things, and the chicken feathers-for-sugar business is no longer around.
Gu Yunyang did collect some pheasant down feathers, planning to make a down jacket later.
To be honest, he himself didn't know anything about needlework, and the original owner of this body didn't have any skills in that area either.
It seems that if we want to make clothes, we'll have to rely on a few older sisters.
These days, most women have this skill.
There aren't many ready-made garments sold outside now; most people buy fabric from supply and marketing cooperatives or department stores and then cut it themselves.
At most, there might be someone in the village or brigade who has tailoring skills and makes good clothes, and people would go to that person's house to ask for help making clothes.
However, these are all things that happened later.
The most important thing right now is to eat.
"Yunyang is here? Come in quickly." Gu Honglan was inside, having already placed all the dishes on the table.
Gu Yunyang hadn't even come in yet. What was there to talk about with that little girl, Daya, outside?
Luckily, Daya didn't know what her aunt was thinking, otherwise she would definitely think her aunt wasn't so great.
Gu Yunyang carried Daya in and casually replied, "Come in. Let me see what we have to eat."
Although the house is full of women, and only Gu Yunyang comes to eat, Gu Yunyang is not worried about rumors spreading.
In this whole brigade, who doesn't know he's the younger brother of several older sisters?
Although they don't acknowledge the title of relatives, everyone knows they are actually related.
Gu Honglan brought Gu Yunyang some water to wash his hands: "Wash your hands first, I'll get you some rice. You can eat after you wash your hands."
Gu Yunyang is a very particular person; he makes sure to wash his hands before eating.
This is a habit that not many people have in the countryside.
Gu Yunyang frowned and said, "I'll wash my hands myself in the kitchen."
You've all established your own female households; you're going to be independent.
You shouldn't do these wait-and-see things anymore.
"Does anyone here still have an arm or a leg missing?"
Gu Yunyang's tone was not good, but Gu Honglan was only taken aback.
Then my eyes turned a little red.
Gu Yunyang's tone was harsh, but his words were meant to be considerate and for their own good.
Gu Honglan does have this much discernment.
"Okay, I understand."
Suppressing her sobs, Gu Honglan's eyes welled up with tears, but she managed to hold them back from crying.
Having lived at home for almost 20 years, she finally realized that relationships between people could be so harmonious.
The gap between men and women doesn't have to be that big.
The son in the family can also take care of the daughter and won't leech off her.
It can be said that since Gu Yunyang came to the Red Flag Brigade, he has never bullied or oppressed the sisters.
On the contrary, Gu Yunyang was helpful to them from beginning to end.
Putting everything else aside, the fact that they were able to establish their own households was thanks to Gu Yunyang's idea and support.
Although this house was built of mud bricks, it was much simpler than the previous home.
But the sisters felt incredibly safe and secure living there.
"Let's eat." Gu Hongmei came out, carrying a bowl of rice.
