Zhang Zaohua is an impatient person. As soon as the family meeting ended, she immediately went to the village to inquire about buying sheep.

The villagers sat in groups of three or four on the stone benches under the old locust tree at the entrance of the village. This place was originally the village's grain drying ground. During the slack season, the villagers liked to gather here to chat. It was definitely the intelligence center of Gujia Village.

Someone saw Zhang Zaohua coming out and waved her over. Wang Xiaocao, the one who waved, moved aside and patted the stone bench next to her, asking her to sit down quickly. Both of them were girls who married into Gujia Village from the neighboring Xiaao Village and had always had a close relationship.

Wang Xiaocao nudged Zhang Zaohua next to him and asked, "What happened to your old lady yesterday? Where did you get the doll you brought back?"

The aunties and wives around lowered their voices and wanted to hear what was going on with the Gu family.

"What? This is my brother-in-law Gu An's daughter!" Zhang Zaohua knew what these people wanted to know. She didn't think it was anything to keep secret, so she continued, "Gu An went to the battlefield, and his wife is a military doctor and also had to go to the front. They had no choice but to ask Er Gouzi to send her back to Gujia Village."

"Well, the child is still young, and my mother-in-law plans to catch two milk-producing ewes for the child."

When everyone heard this, they felt that it was indeed necessary. According to the people who saw it last night, the child seemed to be only one month old.

"Oh... by the way, why was it sent back by Ergouzi?" someone asked.

"What Ergouzi? Don't call me that anymore! He changed his name to Li Jianguo and is now working in the county's armed forces department after being discharged from the army!" Village chief Gu happened to pass by, so he said this and walked towards the exit of the village.

Everyone was listening intently and was startled by what Village Chief Gu said. Seeing that the old village chief seemed to be about to leave, they asked, "Village Chief, where are you going?"

At this time, Gu Lei, who was driving a donkey cart, happened to be standing under the old locust tree. "Oh, my dad is planning to go to Xia'ao Village. I heard that the working group is working in Xia'ao Village today. Let's go and see what's going on there."

Hey, everyone was immediately interested when they heard this. With the recent buzz surrounding land reform, everyone in Gujia Village had been looking forward to the arrival of the working group. Now that the working group was in the next village, what were they waiting for? They quickly went to see what was going on.

"By the way, sister-in-law!" Gu Lei said to Zhang Zaohua, "I heard that the old hunter in Xiaao Village has some lactating ewes. Why don't you go and take a look on the way?"

Zhang Zaohua felt that this was truly a case of searching for something without any effort. She hadn't been back to her parents' home for a long time, so this was a good time to go back.

"Lei Zi, thank you! You guys go first, I'll go home to get some things and go later!" After thanking Gu Lei, Zhang Zaohua hurried home.

At the Gu family's side, Li Dahua was strolling in the yard with Gu Qingyu in her arms. Gu Qingyu looked at the house made entirely of adobe bricks and sighed silently, thinking that life would be difficult in the future. At this moment, Zhang Zaohua ran back.

"Zaohua, why are you so anxious?" Li Dahua asked curiously when she saw her eldest daughter-in-law like this.

"Mom, there are some lactating ewes in my mother's village. I plan to go and see them and visit my mother's home at the same time." As he said that, he rushed back to the house, and soon rushed out again with a basket.

"Oh, Mom! Everyone's gone to Xiaao Village to see the work team. Are you going?"

When Li Dahua heard about the working group, she immediately decided to go. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law followed the large group to Xia'ao Village.
