"Cancan, let's go and get off work." Ding Min saw that Cancan was still working hard. Well, he made a lot of progress today and harvested half an acre of cabbage by himself.
"Hey, here you are." Gu Can put away her work and walked over to Ding Min, who was waiting for her. Hao Aiguo also waited for them every day to go together. His tall and strong figure was enough to intimidate people just standing there. The three of them went to work together and left work together. After passing all the houses, Gu Can saw that there was no one.
"Do you know? The educated youth in the Hongsheng Brigade next door have this." Gu Can also stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Is this true?" The two were shocked when they understood what was going on. This was serious.
"I heard Aunt Liu and the others chatting today. It is said that there is more than one person involved. They kill people and rob food. The Red Guards dare not intervene at all. I think the two brigades are not far away. They will take it over sooner or later." Gu Can analyzed.
"What should I do then?" Ding Min was very scared.
"Sister Minmin, don't worry. Even if they are coming, they won't come so soon. Next time you go to work, pay attention to the news outside. The three of us go to work together anyway, so carry sticks or something for self-defense. Even though the Hongsheng Brigade will definitely come through the bamboo forest and the house, we should still go together after work every day. Even if we just build a wooden fence to surround the educated youth site, it will give us more time to react."
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll go to the captain tomorrow to apply for some wood." Hao Aiguo agreed immediately. This was a matter concerning the safety of three people and was not the time to hesitate.
"Well, I still have a few ounces of brown sugar. I'll go to the women's director's house tomorrow and ask for some information." Ding Min also said.
"I know a little about bamboo weaving. Brother Aiguo, please talk to the captain and ask him to buy some bamboo or something. I will make some small mechanisms and see if it works." Gu Can said that the formation can be used by more than just magic power.
"Okay." They both agreed. Each of them did what they could. Now that they were all on the same page, this was no time to argue.
They returned to their rooms and started making a simple dinner. Gu Can took out two buns from his space and ate them, then packed his clothes and went to take a bath. He needed to relax after a tiring day.
The next morning, the three of them went to work together. While they were working, Hao Aiguo hurried to ask the team leader for wood and bamboo. That's right, everything is public property now, so if you want to use it, you have to apply first.
After getting approval, the three of them went to cut trees and bamboo together after work.
The three of them had houses that stood side by side, and the yard they needed wasn't very big, since there were only three of them. They divided the work among themselves, and worked tirelessly until dark every day after work.
Anyway, it doesn't matter whether they work more or less when they are at work. The work assigned to them by the team leader is already very easy for the three of them, so they have more time to do their own work.
"Sister Minmin, Brother Aiguo, this piece of land is fenced off. Why don't we open it up and grow some vegetables? Otherwise it will be a waste." Half a month later, the three of them looked at the fence and felt very accomplished.
Looking at the land in the yard, Gu Can suddenly said that seeing the land empty, she felt it was a waste. It was a bad habit she had developed from farming in the ancient world.
"That's fine. Since every household grows vegetables in their own yards, we might as well exchange some seeds and bring them back. We won't have to go through so much trouble to exchange seeds with villagers anymore." Ding Min and Hao Aiguo both agreed. This time, Ding Min was responsible for the glorious task of exchanging seeds.
The two of them really protected her like brothers and sisters. Gu Can thought to herself that her luck seemed to have always been good. In order to avoid conflicts, the three of them divided the yard into three parts early on, each of them cultivating their own favorite vegetables. If they wanted to eat something else in the future, they could share it among themselves.
Although they were physically tired, the three of them felt fulfilled and satisfied as they watched the courtyard change bit by bit.
"Ding-ling-ling." It was the postman Xiao Chen.
"Is Comrade Gu Can here? Is Comrade Gu Can here? There's a package for you!"
"Yes, yes, I am." This was Gu Can's first encounter with a postman of this era. Riding a bicycle, he looked even more stylish than the BMWs of later generations. Hao Aiguo and Ding Min were envious when they saw him.
When Xiao Chen saw the envious looks in their eyes, he raised his head high and was very proud.
Gu Can signed, took the package, and after thanking Xiao Chen repeatedly, he watched him leave. The three of them returned to the small courtyard together, and the two of them returned to their rooms. Gu Can smiled knowingly. They were all very good people.
Gu Can returned to his room and unpacked the package. As expected, it was from his eldest brother, Gu Hua. There was a letter, two smoked rabbits, a piece of smoked wild boar meat, and some other small odds and ends.
Gu Can opened the letter and saw that it was written by his elder brother.
He first asked her how she was doing and whether she had gotten used to it. Then he told her about the things that had been sent to her and what had happened on his side. He also said that he had already visited his parents, and that his grandparents were in good health. He lived nearby and could still take care of them, so she shouldn't worry. He also gave her the address of his second brother Gu Xing.
Looking at the food and daily necessities, no one was rich in that era, and he was already doing the best he could. He didn't know if he had enough food.
Gu Can thought about it for a moment, then asked his parents in the group chat what to prepare for the two of them. Finally, he started replying to their letters and even going to the villagers to exchange some things. Two days later, he went to the post office and mailed two packages: one for his second brother and one for his eldest brother.
According to their tastes, they made some meat sauce, some long-lasting biscuits, and other snacks. It was cold in the Northeast, so Gu Can prepared knee pads and leather gloves for everyone in the family. Gu Can thought that since it was the seaside, it definitely wouldn't be cold at his second brother's place. The average winter temperature there was 16-20 degrees Celsius, and only in extremely extreme circumstances would it drop below zero.
So Gu Can sent him a short-sleeved shirt. Staple foods were scarce there, and he couldn't stand eating seafood every day. He also sent him a few rice bricks, which weren't coated with alum or lime. But sending them at this time didn't worry about him not being able to finish them and wasting them. After all, there were only three of them, and how long would they last him?
It’s not that she doesn’t want to send more, but she sent too much and was afraid that the recipients would be anxious. No one was rich in that era.
In the letter, she informed her of her current situation and talked about the care that Ding Min and Hao Aiguo gave her, trying to reassure them, asking them to take good care of themselves and not give up their studies.
Gu Hua and Gu Xing are twins, but they look nothing alike: Gu Hua resembles his mother, while Gu Xing resembles his father. They are both only eighteen years old. They are both very talented in their studies, especially Gu Xing, whose talent for science and technology is so great that even Gu Can feels he can't catch up.
As long as Gu Xing can thrive, he'll definitely save China's technology at least twenty years of detours. He's a future tech giant.
Given Gu Xing's talent, Gu Can was truly terrified. He was a villain from some novel. Of course, he could also be the protagonist, but their lives were destined to be difficult.
If Gu Can and the others had not come, the original owner would have been dead by now, his grandparents would have been dead too, and his parents didn't seem to be in good health either.
Most importantly, their spirits were broken, their faith shattered, and they could truly die of depression. They had invested their entire fortunes in support of the motherland, their entire families had actively devoted themselves to the revolutionary cause, and yet they met this end? How could they not be resentful? They had to undergo struggle sessions and reform. And it was reported by students they had their eye on. How could they possibly accept it?
Even if I had the foresight to send the child away, but my little daughter died just a few months later, that was a huge blow.
Gu Can had a premonition that if they hadn't come, Gu Hua and Gu Xing would have been hit hard one after another. The chances of them becoming villains were definitely higher than becoming protagonists.
Because both of them are very smart, the smarter the person, the more likely they are to get stuck in a rut. If they don't get positive guidance during their growth period, it's really easy for them to go astray.
Transportation was inconvenient in that era, so Gu Can could only think of sending letters to the two of them every week, trying his best to urge them not to forget to study and not to be led astray by bad people.
