This is because something bad happened, causing self-doubt.
Gu Yunyang needs to demonstrate his support for Gu Hanping through his actions.
Clearly, Gu Yunyang's words were effective.
Gu Hanping waved his hand: "No need to pick us up. We'll go straight to the commune later. We don't know how many educated youths we'll be picking up this time. Our Hongqi Brigade doesn't have much arable land, so I wonder if we can pick up fewer?"
Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong felt somewhat awkward.
Hearing Gu Hanping's words, they realized firsthand that these villagers truly disliked the educated youth.
Just as Gu Yunyang said, everyone thought they were there to steal the grain.
But thinking about it, it seems they really can't do anything and don't have much strength.
Every year, we also share the grain with the team members.
They knew perfectly well that everyone received a personal ration.
Although a basic work point is required to earn work points, except for those who are too young to work in the fields to earn work points.
If these people don't have enough work points, they have to make up the difference with money.
But that little bit of money is far less than the value of grain.
What is this if not looting food?
"Alright, Captain. We're off then."
Gu Yunyang said something and helped pick up the luggage. Zhang Jianjun and Chen Xiangrong also realized what was happening, and after somewhat awkwardly greeting the captain, they followed him out.
Gu Hanping and Gu Changbai looked at each other, feeling that the two educated youths were not very bright.
"But at least he still listens to Yunyang."
Gu Changbai shook his head: "Dad, what kind of educated youth have come to our Hongqi Brigade? So far, not one of them has been able to earn full work points by working in the fields."
Gu Hanping looked at his eldest son speechlessly and said, "How many educated youth do you think can get full work points?"
Just look at the Red Star Brigade next door. There are so many educated youth there, at least a dozen. It's good if even one of them can get the full work points.
Some people in their brigade are still struggling financially, and some are even behind on work points. What can they do? At least the people in our brigade aren't short of money, and they don't cause trouble. I already think we're doing well enough without the brigade's subsidies.”
All I can say is that these brigade leaders had high expectations for these educated youth who had been sent to the countryside.
From initial high expectations to current resignation, I just hope they don't hold us back.
As for anything more, they simply couldn't hope for it.
Gu Hanping added, "Of course, your cousin is different; he truly helped us."
Gu Changbai nodded: "But my brother wasn't an educated youth either."
Gu Hanping was speechless.
Yes, Gu Yunyang has had his local household registration reinstated and is no longer a sent-down youth.
So these educated youths didn't bring any benefits after all.
After Gu Yunyang came out, Xing Kai took his leave.
"I need to go back to the institute first to complete the procedures for our business trip. You can come to the institute later to collect the travel allowance, since we initially went to the city from the institute."
Then I should go home and rest for a bit. If you come back and don't see me, go find the instructor.
Gu Yunyang was surprised to find that the institute offered a travel allowance.
However, there was no need for him to refuse. If he refused, should Xing Kai also refuse?
There's no need to drag others down with you just because you don't want it.
Blending in with the world is still very necessary at this time.
After Xing Kai left, Gu Yunyang put the luggage in the back of the oxcart and invited the two of them to get on.
He went to the front and spoke a few words to the water buffalo, during which he inputted some beast-taming abilities.
Zhang Jianjun watched with great curiosity as Gu Yunyang chatted happily with the ox. The ox was real and even responded to every word: "Yunyang, you and this ox are having a good chat."
