It can be said that Gu Zhaocheng's job as a forest ranger largely overlaps with what his father and I are doing.

When I feel completely at ease with these two people, there really isn’t much left in this job.

Winter is the calmest time in the forest. Under natural circumstances, nothing will happen.

If no one goes into the woods to cause trouble, there won't be much happening in the woods.

If someone really wants to cause trouble, it's not so easy for Gu Zhaocheng to just happen to meet him.

If you meet someone taking advantage of someone, Gu Zhaocheng can stop by.

For other matters, you can only report the situation to the police station.

After the old master returned, Gu Zhaocheng spent the remaining two days mainly cleaning up the house where he would always live.

According to regulations, rangers must stay in the forest for almost twenty days a month.

Gu Zhaocheng's family is in the forest farm, so there is no need to enforce it so strictly.

But half of the time, I always have to live in the woods.

It is still necessary to tidy up the place where you live to make it comfortable.

Hygiene should at least be better, and then the roof should be repaired, the doors and windows should be repaired, and the ones that should be replaced should be replaced.

This is a forestry farm. No matter how difficult it is, there will never be a shortage of wood.

There just aren't any fine woodworking tools here, so nothing can be made too delicate.

I still haven’t thought it through enough. Next time I go into the mountains, I still need to consider bringing more things.

If there are things that are lacking, most of them can be obtained locally from the mountains.

But there are still some iron products and chemicals that cannot be self-sufficient in the mountains.

Being a ranger in the mountains is actually not absolutely boring. If you are willing, you can chat with Gu Changshan's logging team.

It's just that Gu Zhaocheng is completely at ease with Gu Changshan and doesn't need to supervise or bother with these nagging people.

Occasionally going to the logging area to show your face and show your presence is enough.

There is still more than a month left before the year, and Gu Zhaocheng's goal is to tidy up all aspects of the house.

While working on the house, I also wanted to get familiar with the mountains and forests.

The most basic thing is to at least patrol the jurisdiction, which is quite time-consuming.

Near the end of the year, Qin Yan may have felt that the nature of the job as a forest ranger was too comfortable.

The work performance is just patrolling the forest, and there is no intuitive reflection of the performance.

They can't create much benefit for the forestry farm, and they belong to the category of people who live on dry food.

Forest rangers like Gu Zhaocheng were transferred to the field department to help process the wood.

That is to say, the wood cut down from the forest is simply processed into small pieces of wood strips and wooden boards.

Temporary workers still have less human rights than regular workers.

Whether it is within the scope of responsibility, it will be done as arranged by the above.

If you are a regular employee, the ranger can completely ignore these things that are outside of your job responsibilities.

But temporary workers, such as being a forest ranger, cannot just do the work of a forest ranger.

If the field department needs anything, temporary workers will be there to help.

There is no need to hand over these timber to the forest farm, the forest farm sells it itself.

The scale is not large, and the forest farm does not have such a large output.

Nearby villagers and small factories will purchase some if they need it.

This money can be regarded as the forest farm's own small treasury.

It belongs to Qin Yan, the farm manager, and can control the money.

If Qin Yan wants to make a mistake, the money will be very convenient.

What is a small amount of money for a forest farm unit is no longer a small amount for an individual.

"Mom, this is my salary, please take it."

After paying his salary, Gu Zhaocheng handed it directly to Na Cunhua.

For less than three hundred yuan, Gu Zhaocheng worked twenty days a month.

It only costs more than ten yuan a day, which can’t even buy three kilograms of pork, which is still quite little.

For Gu Zhaocheng, it was of no use. This little money could not be used as a startup fund.

But it can alleviate the financial stress of the Gu family.

Even if Feng Qin has left the Gu family, after paying Feng Qin's tuition fees, the family cannot be said to be well off.

Moreover, it will be the Chinese New Year soon, so I need to buy new year’s goods and make new clothes, which is quite stressful.

The Gu family may have such a small amount of savings, but ordinary people live their lives normally.

I won’t use my family savings to prepare for big things just because of a little nervousness.

Under traditional circumstances, as long as there is no balance at home every month, people will feel very insecure and life will be very difficult.

"Zhaocheng, please keep the money for yourself. There is no shortage of money at home."

Na Cunhua's first reaction was still to refuse.

"Why should I keep these? I'm either at home or in the mountains every day. Where can I spend the money?"

There is not much material pursuit here at the forest farm.

Apart from food and drink, there is nowhere to spend money.

Therefore, Gu Zhaocheng, who either takes food or drinks at home, can say that he does not spend any money.

"Keep this money so you can find a wife. You are not young now."

The words about depositing flowers surprised Gu Zhaocheng.

Gu Zhaocheng has just changed from a jobless vagrant to a temporary worker in a forest farm.

Na Cunhua thought that Gu Zhaocheng had matured and began to think about marriage.

"Mom, let's not joke about this. Even after the Chinese New Year, I'm still only twenty. Even the minimum legal age for marriage is two years shy of me."

Although the forest farm is remote, these people don't care so much about the legal age.

It is also accepted that people get married first and then get the certificate after reaching the age.

But Gu Zhaocheng still cares about this. When there is no suitable person, this is a good reason.

The poorer the place, the earlier people get married. This tradition is the same everywhere.

In the forest farm, many people of Song Liuxi's generation, like Song Liuxi, simply cannot find a wife.

In Gu Changshan's generation, it is also difficult to find a wife.

Therefore, every family in the forest farm pays close attention to the issue of marriage.

It's just that during the heyday of the forest farm, when the employees made a lot of money, it was not easy for the employees of Sandaogou Forest Farm to find a partner.

Now that the forest farm is declining, it is precarious, and it is even harder for anyone to marry into it.

"Then you have to hurry up. This kind of thing will happen sooner rather than later."

As expected, Cunhua didn't pay attention until he was under age.

In fact, not all forestry workers are so miserable.

It's just that the location of Sandaogou Forest Farm is not good and its scale is not large.

There are no villagers or villages around, and the forest farm employees themselves don’t have many family members.

The lack of access to so many people makes it difficult for employees to find partners one by one.

If the forest farm is a family area and there are many villagers living areas around it.

The forestry workers who earn a solid salary are pretty good.

"There's no need to be so anxious. You have to wait a few years anyway. You can spend the money as you should, and you can earn it later."

When spring gets warmer, Gu Zhaocheng's apparent income will easily be higher.

If there is produce in the mountains and forests, Gu Zhaocheng's income will naturally increase, and he will be able to take home more money.

Only then can the Gu family's life really improve.

Those who are the stewards of savings will not have to worry about never having enough money at home.

I want to supplement my family's nutrition, but I can't afford meat, so I can only stew some bone soup.

"Zhaocheng, when you were not at home, Fengxia kept coming to see you. Isn't it interesting for you two?"

When Na Cunhua patted Gu Zhaocheng, he was suddenly surprised and said as if he had just remembered something.
