Chapter 13 Too busy to take care of yourself
Meanwhile, Gu Zhiqiang was planning to take Gu Wan around the village to familiarize her with the environment and also to make her famous.

After all, Xiaoman had already returned to the Qin family, but the daughter of the Gu family had never come back, which inevitably led to many people gossiping behind their backs.

This also let everyone in the village know that his daughter has a conscience and would rather give up the good life in the city and move to the countryside to return to her parents' home.

Oh, it was at this moment that Gu Zhiqiang told Gu Wan why the girl didn’t see her biological mother when she returned home.

It turned out that at this moment, Gu Wan's biological mother Qiao Yuemei just had the opportunity to work as a temporary worker in the commune.

I've been busy for a while and it will take more than half a month before I can come back.

"Your mother might have done it. She cooks delicious food. Even your grandmother helps her. Everyone in the family likes the food your mother cooks. It just so happens that the chef in the commune canteen has a hand injury and can't cook for at least a month. The team leader knows that your mother is a good cook, so he asked her to take over for a few days."

This, of course, is the explicit statement.

In fact, under normal circumstances, such a good thing would certainly not be the fate of a rural woman with no background or ability.

It just so happened that the team leader learned about this matter when he went to a meeting at the commune. It was also true that Gu Laosan's wife was a good cook, so in the past, whenever someone in the village wanted to hold a wedding, they would ask her to help.

The team leader felt that my uncle's family had been in a very bad situation recently, so he wanted to help out and told them the news.

In fact, it was Mrs. Gu who put in a lot of effort to get this substitute job.

She personally ran to the commune, crying, throwing tantrums, and trying every possible means to stop her from getting hurt. It didn't cost any money, and she didn't mind losing face.

If she does something terrible, people will only say that she is a vicious old woman, but her daughter-in-law can really benefit from it.

Apart from anything else, because she helps in the kitchen, the third son’s wife doesn’t have to worry about the family providing her with food every day.

Another thing is that if you work as a temporary worker, you can get one yuan a day. It is said that this is also because the third brother’s wife is a good cook.

She is the chef. If she just worked as an assistant, she would only earn 60 cents a day.

The only downside is that because she has to cook dinner and it is inconvenient to commute every day, Gu Laosan’s wife can only live in the dormitory near the commune canteen.

It is said that several people are crowded in one room, feeling very cramped, and that although this job looks like it pays well, it is not that easy to get paid.

I have to prepare three meals a day, so I can be said to be busy from morning to night every day.

But it’s okay, I just think that I can get 15 yuan if I work for a full month.

All other external bad aspects can be ignored.

There are some unused dishes in the canteen kitchen that can be taken home. This is the recognized visible profit for chefs.

But Qiao Yuemei is very clear about this and never takes it.

She was just a temporary worker. If she wanted to make some friends in the commune, there might be opportunities in the future. It was very important for her to protect her reputation.

Yes, Gu Wan’s biological mother is named Qiao Yuemei, and it is said that her name and Qin’s mother’s name both contain the character “Mei”.

At that time, the two pregnant women got along very well, and happened to give birth on the same day, which is why the wrong child was reported by mistake.

Because of a series of changes on the Gu family's side, the system on the heroine's side continued to warn her that she would be punished if she failed the mission.

Because of this, Qin Shiman was so busy that she couldn't spare any time to help, otherwise Gu Wan's going to the countryside wouldn't have been so smooth.

Gu Wan was obediently following her father around the village. If nothing unexpected happened, she would probably spend the next few years here. Although she hadn't seen her mother yet, it was nice to have her father around with her.

Besides, her mother is a good cook, so if others see that her cooking is delicious, it will be a good excuse.

Cooking skills are a matter of talent. She just inherited her mother's good genes, isn't that okay?
Gu Zhiqiang happily introduced his daughter to the people and things in the village. Gu Wan listened quietly. In fact, she was also thinking about something in her heart.

Although she has a red envelope group system mall, she should not lack anything in terms of material things.

But now that I'm here, wouldn't it be unfair to her special identity of traveling through a book if I didn't do something?
When Gu Wan was reading novels before, she had studied what she could do if she traveled through time, and she just happened to discover it.

Due to the underdeveloped science and technology, in ancient times and even in the 1960s and 1970s, improving species and increasing crop yields were the most suitable feats for the development trend of the times.

It is also necessary to observe the terrain and take a look at the current situation of the crops here. Without investigation, you have no right to speak.

It is already five o'clock in the afternoon, but it is not time to get off work yet. Everyone in the team is busy in the fields.

The strong laborers mainly go to the fields to cut corn stalks, while the women with less strength and some elderly and children break corn and collect the corn kernels that have been drying in the sun for a day.

Even though the work points were a little less, no one was idle. Gu Wan looked at the villagers who were bending over and working in the fields.

Realizing that this was a hard-working team, she felt a sense of pride standing here.

As they walked, Gu Zhiqiang introduced the main situation of the Red Flag Brigade to Gu Wan.

Although the villagers working in the fields were also busy, they also noticed Gu Laosan walking on the ridge.

Especially the young girl following him, no one knew who she was for a while.

The main reason was that Gu Laosan’s wife said she went to work in the commune, and everyone was extremely envious even though she was a temporary worker.

It's just envy, no one has ever thought of replacing it.

It is one thing to be unable to compare with the fierce old lady Gu, but no one in the village can guarantee that their cooking skills are better than those of the third brother Gu's wife.

Judging from the way the little girl was dressed, it was obvious that she was from the city.

Some people also knew what Gu Laosan did in the afternoon and asked immediately:
"Zhiqiang, are these the new educated youth we are going to pick up from the commune?"

Gu Zhiqiang nodded, with a smile on his face that was a little more smiling than usual: "Yes, this is the new educated youth from the city."

"Oh." The man nodded.

The crowd didn't have any other reaction, mainly because everyone was used to seeing batches of educated youth going to the countryside.

Or rather, there is nothing you can do about it, you can't do anything about it and nothing is left over when you eat.

The key point is that they point fingers at them and complain about them all day long, acting like capitalist young ladies and masters, and look down on them, the country people.

If the team leader had not said that accepting the educated youth was a task assigned by the higher authorities, most of the villagers would not have wanted to have so many people who held them back in the village.

Working and earning work points are more important than gossiping.

As a result, the third son of the Gu family suddenly said loudly, "Actually, this girl is not only an educated youth, but also my daughter, my own daughter."
