Gu Yunyang's words were not very pleasant to hear.
But when the children in the family did something wrong, Secretary Gu only said a few words, without even scolding or hitting them. Since Gu Yunyang did this, they had no face to say anything more or refute him.
Gu Yunyang could tell from their expressions that they didn't take it to heart. He sighed and said, "You might think I'm scolding you or blaming you now. But you'll understand later."
Gu Yunyang looked at the children; they were all rather thin.
But these are all boys, and they are all quite pampered at home, eating the best and most plentiful food.
There's no way around it; in Chinese tradition, boys are expected to carry on the family line.
In the future, when the girls in the family get married, they will also need the support of the boys in the family.
This is why, throughout history, Chinese people have always been closer to their maternal uncles than their paternal uncles.
Because your uncle will take your property, but your maternal uncle can only help you take your uncle's property.
Gu Yunyang said, "If you don't believe me, go find Uncle Wuwei after you get the mushroom spawn and have him take a look. I've been learning medicine from Uncle Wuwei these past few days, and it seems like you kids have worms in your stomachs."
Gu Yunyang hadn't expected that he would be dealing with the issue of Thirteen and the others having roundworms in their stomachs right after he finished dealing with it.
Now, some children in the Hongqi Brigade have also been diagnosed with roundworms.
Just thinking about those long, thin worms makes me feel disgusted.
The men all agreed, but judging from their expressions, they didn't take it to heart at all.
Gu Hanping believed in Gu Yunyang; Gu Yunyang wouldn't blame these people over a pot of rice.
If there was any blame to be assigned, Gu Yunyang would directly reprimand him for the matter in person.
Instead of choosing other reasons to criticize them indirectly or to make veiled attacks.
Before Gu Hanping could say anything more, the aunties who had gone home to get eggs returned.
As soon as they entered, they saw the pot in Gu Yunyang's hands and the awkward atmosphere, and immediately said with a fawning smile, "Oh dear, Secretary Gu, please don't take offense. They're just a few kids who couldn't resist coming into your kitchen and eating a few pieces of your meat. You're not lacking anything, it's not that big of a deal, is it?"
Listen to that, it's like admitting guilt without being asked.
The men all looked grim and didn't know what to say.
They made a judgment about the matter without even knowing the details.
They even said the child was young and greedy, and that Gu Yunyang, as an adult, shouldn't take it to heart.
Gu Hanping said in a low voice, "Secretary Gu is only sixteen years old. You kids are all twelve or thirteen, and you call yourselves kids!"
Gu Hanping's words made the aunties feel a little embarrassed.
"Isn't it because our child is too young and not smart enough?"
"Secretary Gu is so capable, how can we treat him like a child?"
What the aunties said did make some sense.
It just sounds a bit absurd.
Gu Yunyang stopped pressing the issue and nodded, saying, "I wasn't referring to the fact that they entered my kitchen without my permission."
In fact, although I receive a salary, I am not a registered urban resident. If I were, I would have been transferred to the commune.
How can I stay in the Red Flag Brigade then?
Therefore, I didn't have a ration of food; I only received a salary.
A few tickets might be issued each month, and it doesn't matter what kind of tickets they are; sometimes they might be cloth tickets, and sometimes they might be meat tickets.
So I don't eat meat every day.
Zhang Jianjun, who was inside listening, almost burst out laughing.
He didn't know where Gu Yunyang had hidden the meat.
But after he moved in, he ate meat every day.
"You can't just go around saying things like that in the village anymore. Yunyang is such a good person, he doesn't even take advantage of the village when he eats meat. Doesn't that make people eye on him and jealous of him?"
If he goes to the village and talks too much, and people remember it, that will cause trouble for Gu Yunyang.
He has already gained a great advantage, so he can't cause trouble for Gu Yunyang.
