Chapter 67: Oh no, Director Wang is in trouble
Gu Yuehuai, Gu Zhifeng and Gu Tinghuai reached an agreement and decided not to persuade Gu Ruihuai anymore.
"Okay, Shaotang is full. I'll go and coax her to sleep." Gu Yuehuai lowered his eyes and looked at Yan Shaotang, who was squinting and drowsy. He chuckled and suddenly felt that raising a child was quite interesting.
"Shaotang?" Gu Tinghuai was stunned: "What's the name you gave her?"
Gu Yuehuai paused and nodded seriously: "Isn't it nice to listen to?"
"Gu Shaotang? Sounds good, like a cultured name." Gu Zhifeng smacked his lips, feeling happy when he saw the sleepy little girl. No matter what, the little girl was pretty and as lovable as his daughter was when she was a child.
Gu Shaotang?
Gu Yuehuai laughed but didn't correct it.
Gu Tinghuai urged, "Okay, go to sleep. You must be tired from the car ride."
Gu Yuehuai nodded, carried Yan Shaotang back to the house, helped her take off her coat and pants, and tucked her into the quilt.
Although the little girl had slept all the way, she was young and weak, and could not stand the fatigue. She felt sleepy as soon as she was full. She did not wake up despite the loud noise, and let Gu Yuehuai take off her clothes and cover her with a quilt.
Gu Yuehuai poured hot water and wiped her hands and feet with a towel.
After finishing the work, he turned off the kerosene lamp.
She sat on the bed, glanced at the sleeping Yan Shaotang, and entered the Sumeru space.
I hadn't worked for two days and was still a little uncomfortable, but when I smelled the aroma of wheat and fruit in the air, my mood improved a lot.
Gu Yuehuai was worried about Yan Shaotang outside, so he didn't dare to take a break. He started to work hard, picking wheat ears, sowing seeds, picking eggs, and running around the hut twice until he was out of breath.
When leaving, don't forget to take three hundred yuan with you.
One hundred and forty yuan was returned to my uncle and second aunt, and the rest was returned to He Lanzhang.
After leaving the space, Gu Yuehuai lay on the bed, his eyes full of thought.
After all, wheat is a bit too monotonous, so she has to find some rice to plant. She prefers white rice to noodles.
Moreover, the chickens reproduced too quickly, and the eggs were all over the ground if they were not harvested in two days. She was not worried about the lack of grassland space, but it was not a good thing to eat chicken and eggs all the time. She had to find some new breeds of livestock and poultry.
Rabbit? Duck? Goose? Lamb?
Gu Yuehuai thought thoughtfully, then turned to look at Yan Shaotang, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Nannan? Nannan?"
Gu Yuehuai opened his eyes and found that it was already dawn. The time on his watch was six o'clock in the morning.
She got up, put on her clothes, and glanced at Yan Shaotang. The little girl had good sleeping habits and seemed to have heard the noise and opened her eyes. She was not like other children who were sleepy and could not be woken up. She was so well-behaved that it made people feel soft-hearted.
"Shaotang is awake too, so get up and go to work with your sister." Gu Yuehuai chuckled and reached out to rub the top of Yan Shaotang's head, then helped her put on her clothes and pulled her out of the room.
"Nannan is awake, eh? Shaotang is up too?" Gu Tinghuai was cooking porridge and smiled at the little girl.
Gu Zhifeng was sitting on the kang, cooking walnuts. When she heard the voice, she turned around and said, "Nannan, you have to go to the breeding place to work later. What about Shaotang? Should I go with you?"
Gu Yuehuai nodded: "Follow me."
Now that the child has been found, you have to take care of him yourself and not delegate it to others.
It was definitely impossible to leave her alone at home. Yan Shaotang was well-behaved and she wouldn't feel bored even if he sat by her side.
Gu Zhifeng nodded, and said nothing more, "Just know it yourself."
"Are you going to the clinic today?" Gu Yuehuai scooped a bowl of porridge for Yan Shaotang. While feeding her the porridge, he thought of Gu Ruihuai who was still lying in the Qing'an County Clinic, and asked.
Gu Zhifeng waved her hand: "The third brother is here."
Gu Tinghuai glanced at Gu Yuehuai and asked, "Are you going?"
"I'm going to work at the breeding department first, and I'll go there in the afternoon." Gu Yuehuai smiled. She didn't mean to go see Gu Ruihuai, but wanted to try her luck and see if she could meet He Lanzhang.
Last time, I borrowed money in a hurry to save someone and only left an IOU, but forgot to ask for the address.
However, Huangying Commune and Qing'an County are not too big or too small, so there will always be a chance for them to meet. Besides, when the educated youth go to the countryside, they will have someone they know in common, so they will not be unable to pay back the money.
Gu Tinghuai hesitated for a moment and said, "Then I'll go with you."
Gu Yuehuai shook his head: "No, I've only been working for a few days. It's not good to ask for leave all the time. I can find a place myself."
Gu Zhifeng raised her hand and patted Gu Yuehuai on the shoulder, saying, "Then how about this, when you go to work, bring Shaotang to Dad. The busy farming season has passed these days, so the work is light, so it won't be a problem for you to take care of a little girl."
Gu Yuehuai looked at Yan Shaotang who was drinking porridge seriously and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Dad."
She walked all the way to the county, and was tired with Shaotang, so it would be better for her to stay at home.
After breakfast, the three adults and one child went out.
Gu Yuehuai separated from the two at the village entrance and went to the breeding place.
She pulled Yan Shaotang into the office. Wang Peisheng had not arrived yet, but Wang Fu was there.
"Xiao Gu? Are you back from the county?" Wang Fu glanced at Gu Yuehuai and asked in a gentle voice. When he saw Yan Shaotang holding her hand, he was stunned: "Who is this?"
Gu Yuehuai curled the corners of his lips, too lazy to explain too much, and said: "He is the child of my relative."
Wang Fu nodded and complimented, "It looks neat."
"Qi Zheng" is the local dialect used by the villagers, meaning beautiful and good-looking.
Gu Yuehuai smiled and didn't talk much about Yan Shaotang. After waiting for about ten minutes, Wang Peisheng still hadn't come. He couldn't help but ask, "Secretary, where is Director Wang? Why hasn't he come yet?"
Wang Fu shook his head and said doubtfully, "I don't know. Normally, he should have come by this time."
Gu Yuehuai frowned. She wanted to return the food coupons to Wang Peisheng, but since he didn't come, she didn't wait any longer. She said something to Wang Fu, then took her things and went out to paint the mural.
She took out a paint bucket and a brush and said, "Shaotang, sister is drawing, you must not run around, understand?"
Yan Shaotang glanced at Gu Yuehuai and said nothing, but just sat obediently beside her legs without moving.
Gu Yuehuai raised her lips, raised her arm and started painting, occasionally looking down at Yan Shaotang. The little girl was not completely stupid. Although her pupils were out of focus, she was quite focused. She sat on the ground and looked down at the ants, showing no signs of making a fuss.
As time went by, Wang Peisheng never came to the breeding ground.
He is usually very dedicated to his work, how could he suddenly be absent from work?
Gu Yuehuai was thinking in his heart, when suddenly, a burst of anxious shouting came: "Secretary! Secretary, something bad has happened! Go and have a look, Director Wang is in trouble!"
A young man with a white towel on his head ran towards the breeding area carrying a hoe.
He looked anxious, with cold sweat on his forehead.
Gu Yuehuai frowned, and when he saw him running into the office, he threw his pen into the bucket and pulled Yan Shaotang in.
Gu Ruihuai's leg was bitten by a wolf. If Wang Peisheng hadn't helped, he would have recovered from the injury. He is a good man and has done favors for their family. No matter what happened, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
