Chapter 160 Shock!
After about half an hour, Gu Hansong followed Ye Feng back.
When the people who were sitting and drinking tea at the Meng family heard this, they hurried out to greet them.
Gu Hansong was not excited when he saw the leaders. He just greeted them softly. It was obvious that he recognized these people.
When did Gu Hansong become so familiar with the leaders from the city?
The crowd of onlookers stared in shock or disbelief, and they all stared at each other, not daring to disturb or get a word in.
Gu Hansong chatted with the leaders for a few words, but no one knew what they said. He only heard Director Tang tell Gu Hansong to change his clothes and pack his things quickly and set off with everyone. The car was already waiting on the road outside.
There are no roads in the village, only a large dirt road that is passable by oxen and horse carts.
When this group of people walked into the village before, everyone felt strange. They thought, since he was a leader, he must have a bicycle or donkey cart or something, otherwise it would be very inconvenient for him to go out and do things.
At that time, everyone was still mumbling about this, but now they realize that everyone was short-sighted. It’s not that they don’t have a car, but the conditions in their small village are limited and their cars can’t come in.
It turned out that these leaders really came to invite Gu Hansong, and even drove their cars over.
Everyone secretly gasped, feeling both envious and jealous.
Gu Hansong, what were you doing outside?
Gu Hansong agreed to leave with them, but his mule cart was still downstairs, so he wanted to pull the mule into the pen and unload the cart first.
Director Tang quickly stopped him and said, "Time is running out. Go pack your things first. I'll help you with the car."
Gu Hansong nodded and went back to the yard.
Director Tang rolled up his sleeves and wanted to drive the car, but there were so many people in the village, so how could he, as a leader, do it?
Ye Pingshun quickly stepped forward and said, "Director Tang, I can do it. I'll do it."
Director Tang nodded and let him get busy.
Ye Pingshun finally found an opportunity to show off, and asked Director Tang with a smile, "Why are you asking Han Song to go to the city during the New Year? What happened?"
Director Tang frowned and said, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't know. Don't pry too much and focus on the right path."
Ye Pingshun was embarrassed again and left the car awkwardly.
On the other side, Gu Hansong also moved quickly. It took him about ten minutes to change his clothes and pack a suitcase in his hand.
During this period, several leaders had been waiting outside the yard and did not go anywhere, as if they were afraid that Gu Hansong would run away from them.
These people were so far away that no one dared to approach them and talk to them. Everyone just watched and waited together.
Soon, Gu Hansong came out, nodded to a few people, and the group immediately prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Director Tang said a few words to Meng Changli to thank her for her hospitality.
Gu Hansong also nodded to the people from the Meng family, and his gaze lingered on Meng Shulan for a moment.
After a brief farewell, the group quickly walked down the hill and left.
A group of villagers followed behind unconsciously, and only stopped when they reached the dam below, watching those people go away.
In this incident, all the men, women, young and old in the village, as long as they were not out visiting relatives, ran out to watch the fun.
At the beginning, when those people were around, no one dared to ask or say anything.
Although the leaders all looked very kind, there was always an invisible pressure.
Now that they have left, I should be able to speak freely. After all, there are too many questions and speculations that I want to express.
But everyone was still stunned.
Sometimes there are so many questions that I don’t know where to start.
Finally, an ignorant child pointed at the group of people that had disappeared and said, "Gu Hansong has gone to the city. Will he be able to be a worker and eat commercial grain in the future?"
The child's mother subconsciously retorted, "He is not a college student, and there is no work for him at home. How can he eat commercial grain? If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Indeed, it is very difficult to eat commercial grain in this day and age.
But soon someone else spoke up, "That's not necessarily true. Today's society is different from before. As long as you have the ability and skills, you have the possibility of being hired. Now that the government is reforming and society is opening up, there is a shortage of talent. It is possible for capable people to make an exception and join the company."
The person who was speaking was the butcher in the village. He had a radio at home and usually listened to some news, so he knew more than ordinary people.
Someone asked him, "So what kind of talent do you think Gu Hansong is? What abilities does he have?"
The butcher looked at the old lady who was speaking.
This man's yard is diagonally opposite the Gu family's. Because the two families are close to each other, they have contact a lot, and from time to time, because of one thing or another, their relationship is not very good.
In the old lady's heart, she definitely didn't want Gu Hansong, who often ignored her, to make a name for herself.
The butcher said, "Who knows?"
Everyone knows that Gu Hansong doesn't like dealing with villagers.
Everyone looked at each other, all with bewildered expressions.
But soon, everyone turned their attention to Meng Shulan.
They are not familiar with Gu Hansong, but the Meng family is familiar with him! Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong are not...
Before, no one in the village was optimistic about the relationship between Meng Shulan and Gu Hansong. They thought that Meng Shulan had jumped into a fire pit and was like a flower stuck in cow dung. If she really married into the Gu family in the future, she would have to help the Gu family out of poverty.
But after what happened today, everyone began to relax.
If Gu Hansong could really get a job in the city, this matter wouldn't seem so difficult to accept.
Although the Gu family has burdens and encumbrances, if Gu Hansong can get a job, he will be able to get a salary, which is much better than being a farmer.
Besides, Grandma Wu is old, and it’s hard to say how many years she can live.
Gu Yue is a girl and she will get married when she grows up.
Thinking about it this way, Gu Zhongyuan is the only one that is a little troublesome, as I will have to take care of him for the rest of his life.
However, if both of them have jobs, this is not difficult and they can just find someone to help.
Tsk, it seems quite appropriate when you think about it this way! After all, Meng Shulan's college entrance examination has not been finalized yet, but Gu Hansong has already been picked up by the city leaders.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Meng Shulan glanced sideways at the reservoir next to her, pretending not to see anything.
Meng Changli didn't want to miss this opportunity to show off, and laughed: "Gu Hansong's ability? It's great! Let me tell you, last time my sister and I went to South City to look at the goods, you know it, right? I originally planned to go to him and ask him to help take care of it, but who knew that he was not free at all.
Gu Hansong is very busy over there. It is said that he has been arranged by the city to discuss some investment business over there, which is extremely important.
The other party looked down upon the people arranged by the city, so he specifically asked him to be the one to receive them.
I don't know what exactly happened, after all, it's confidential. When we came back together later, Gu Hansong mentioned it a few times, saying that he knew English and could deal with foreigners, so they chose him..."
