Gu Hanping wrapped his coat tighter and said, "It's getting a bit chilly late at night."
If this were in the city, it certainly wouldn't be cold.
But it really is a bit chilly in these mountains.
Having traveled a long and dusty journey, Zhang Jianjun happened to see Gu Yunyang at his door and greeted him, "Captain, Changsong, what brings you here?"
Gu Hanping made an excuse: "It's nothing, we just came down from upstairs. Is Yunyang home?"
Gu Yunyang came out of the house, and Zhang Jianjun could tell that they had something to talk about, so he made an excuse to leave.
Gu Hanping lowered his voice and said, "What if he saw that?"
Gu Yunyang waved his hand: "It's okay, I'll tell him later. I'll just say that we got the grain through certain channels. These days there's a drought, and production is down. It's no big deal for us to hoard some grain. He'll understand."
Zhang Jianjun isn't the kind of person who holds grudges or is stubborn.
After Gu Yunyang vouched for them, Gu Hanping and Gu Changsong nodded and left.
As Gu Yunyang entered, Zhang Jianjun brought over water to wash his feet. Gu Yunyang thought for a moment and then said in advance, "These past few days, the brigade leader and I have been trying to get some grain. Do you want some? I can get you some, no coupons required."
No tickets are required, but that definitely means money is necessary.
Zhang Jianjun was indeed not the rigid type. After thinking for a moment, he nodded and said, "Sure. If you can get some fine grains, buy more for me. I promise I'll pay you well. I was thinking that we don't have much fine grain back home. If possible, I'd like to send some back home."
Zhang Jianjun is now eating with Gu Yunyang and is eating well every day.
Since Gu Yunyang wasn't home for lunch, Zhang Jianjun could only take some coarse grains from his own meager rations and mix them with some refined grains. So, he asked Han Xue and the others to cook for him.
Afterwards, Zhang Jianjun brought back some rice to eat.
After all, there were several girls, and it was indeed inconvenient for him, a man, to squeeze in there.
Just then, Zhang Jianjun took out some money and gave it to Gu Yunyang: "I've been eating and drinking well with you every day. This is my food allowance."
Gu Yunyang took a look and found that there were quite a few.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment, then accepted the gift without refusing, saying, "Sure, there's no need for us to be so formal. As for the tickets, don't worry about it. I can get more fine grains, and you can mail them out when you go to the commune."
In a few days, it will be time to hand over the grain tax.
After that, the village will also distribute some grain.
However, since Zhang Jianjun and his group arrived late, there was probably not much food to distribute.
This year's work points will be distributed after the late rice harvest.
Zhang Jianjun didn't know if he could hold on until next year. He didn't know when his family's connections would be found so he could join the army.
Let's leave those aside for now.
That evening, Gu Yunyang went to the capital again. As expected, Hou San asked for some more things. Gu Yunyang took them out and sent an owl to deliver a message.
"As for whether it will frighten Hou San, that's none of my business."
Gu Yunyang thought to himself, "Luckily, no one has asked for anything from the teacher's courtyard these past two days. Otherwise, it would be troublesome to make a trip there every day. I'm just making trouble for myself."
Drones can deliver things without the worry of being discovered.
However, the drone was unable to retrieve anything from the mailbox.
Gu Yunyang thought for a moment: "I wonder if the space ability will have more functions after it is upgraded? Right now, I'm always running around. Even though I have horses and electric cars, it still feels quite far."
Fortunately, the capital city at that time only had two or three ring roads. If it were like later times, it would have been built up to the seventh ring road.
If you want to make a trip like that, there are no flights or airplanes available; it's really difficult.
"This Hou San, how many times has this happened? He's scared of an owl. It's really funny."
