Era: I was a farmer at the foot of Yaoling Mountain

Chapter 123 Witness, Tang Ze
In fact, the Yao village has always had a martial custom and the people are tough. Compared with the living environment at the foot of the mountain, the living environment on the mountain is definitely worse.

Not to mention anything else, how can you survive if you don’t have any means to deal with poisonous insects and ferocious beasts?

No one thinks it's unlucky to fire a gun today.

"Are you ready? I'll write a few dozen words, and then I'll throw Zhu Linglong away."

The roadblock will not let the wedding party pass easily, but it will not waste too much time either.

No matter what, today is Sister Lotus's wedding day, and they will stop at the right time.

"Give me the gun!"

The wedding procession also carried guns, mainly to avoid unexpected situations when walking in the mountains at night.

The Type 38 rifle was on Deng Yuanen's back, and Fang Wei reached out to take it.

"Time's up, throw the bamboo Linglong."

A few dozen shots isn't fast enough? Fang Wei had just loaded the bullet when the other party threw Zhu Linglong high into the air.

Fang Wei didn't even aim, the muzzle of the gun instantly tracked Zhu Linglong's trajectory, and then he pulled the trigger directly.

"boom!"

The bullet hit the bamboo object accurately, causing it to explode and colorful chicken feathers to fall in the wind.

"it is good!"

"Get it!"

"Everyone, please come in."

The groom took action and immediately ignited the atmosphere at the scene.

The leading sister laughed non-stop, then signaled the other brothers and sisters to make way. The wedding procession continued on its way and arrived smoothly at Grandpa's house.

When we got here, we were blocked again.

This is the second level, also called the "Gate Gate".

It was impossible to fire guns in the village, and people did not make things difficult for Zheng Hu and others. They just put out 636 bowls of sweet potato wine.

You can enter if you drink these drinks, otherwise you can’t.

Zheng Bao was already holding back his anger, so why would he hesitate now? He simply went up to the wine bowl and drank three large bowls in one breath.

Those who could drink well also came forward, and the thirty-six bowls of wine did not cause any trouble to the wedding party.

After entering the door, Zheng Hu asked someone to set up the mandarin duck table, and then placed the twelve bowls neatly on the table.

Then Zheng Hu presided over the "Mandarin Duck Ceremony". After saying a lot of blessings, an elder sister handed over a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and Deng Yuanen also handed over a pair of bamboo chopsticks.

Zheng Hu took one chopstick from each of their hands and put them together to form a pair of chopsticks, which meant eternal love.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua, who were waiting on the side, came together and offered tea to Grandpa together.

Meanwhile, food was prepared in the village square. After the tea ceremony, the wedding procession was led to the restaurant.

We set out in the middle of the night and have been busy until now. We still have to walk such a long mountain road. Even the strongest person can't stand it without eating something.

Before leaving, Pan Lianhua cried loudly and hugged her grandfather tightly, refusing to let go.

"Be good, now that you're someone's wife, you should live a good life. Grandpa has so many brothers and sisters in the mountains to take care of him, you don't have to worry."

Pan Lianhua looked back every few steps as she crossed the threshold and got on the sedan chair.

After the young men had eaten and drunk their fill, they carried the bride on their way home.

A group of people went from the Yao village, and the brothers and sisters carried their dowries and went to attend the wedding.

Before noon, the team returned to the village. Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went in and offered tea to Fang Ping and Tian Guihua, and then there was a brief wedding ceremony.

The witness was Tang Ze, who came from the county specially. Xu Guangsheng and Zheng Xianfa also came, giving the "little scholar" enough face.

Afterwards, the Fang family set up five tables in the yard to entertain the guests and Pan Lianhua's family members.

In the threshing ground, the team once again prepared a big pot meal.

This time the team slaughtered two pigs. Except for the Fang family taking away the pork that was to be divided, the remaining pork was not divided and was all used for today's "big pot meal".

The members brought their families to the table, and large pots of braised pork were served.

In addition, each table has a serving of [Stir-fried Blood Duck], and various vegetables are contributed by the villagers. The table full of dishes looks very rich.

"To celebrate the captain's marriage, let's have a good meal today. Everyone, eat to your heart's content. Don't be shy."

The director of public security, the old accountant, Zheng Bao and Fang Wenshu were in charge of the big pot dinner here, while Zheng Hu was at Fang's house helping to entertain the guests.

The whole thing was handled by several team cadres. Fang Wei had not planned to hold a grand ceremony because he did not have that much money, and even if he had money, he could not buy so many supplies.

Moreover, lavish celebrations are not in line with current policies.

The team decided to take this opportunity to organize a "big pot meal". The team would provide money, food, tea oil, pork, duck, etc., and the members just had to bring their mouths to eat.

A portion of all the supplies was given to the Fang family. This was what they deserved and was just enough to support the Fang family's wedding banquet.

There is nothing wrong with this plan, and the Fang family did not take advantage of the team at all.

The members had no objection. This was the same as the usual distribution in the team. The only difference was that the whole village, young and old, ate up the supplies together.

The old accountant who came up with this idea is indeed a master of careful calculation.

Fang Ping had someone send the sweet potato wine over. His third brother had said that he would treat everyone to a drink at his wedding, and he would definitely do it.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua also took the time to go to the threshing ground to toast everyone and received many blessings.

Tang Ze, Xu Guangsheng and Zheng Xianfa drank a few bowls of wine and ate something, then left first.

The other guests stayed up all night until the afternoon, and the brothers and sisters from the Yao village also went back.

As night fell, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua sat opposite each other. The red candles on the table flickered, illuminating their faces.

"Third brother, I feel so happy."

"Me too! It's getting late, go to bed."

The next day.

The two of them got up a little later than usual. Pan Lianhua felt uncomfortable walking, so he had to move slowly.

Looking at her energetic man, she secretly said two words in her heart: savage.

Afterwards, the two went to the eldest brother's place for dinner.

"Third brother, you are married now, so live a good life from now on. Your sister-in-law has already sorted out all the things that should be given to you, so you can take them today.

Of course, if you're still willing to share my meals, I'd certainly welcome you, but sooner or later you'll have to cook your own meals, right?"

Now that Fang Wei is married, the two brothers can no longer be as inseparable as before.

In order to reduce conflicts, it is better to live separately in the future.

It's just that Fang Ping was being more euphemistic.

"I'm fine with either, Lotus. What do you say?"

Fang Wei smiled and gave the choice to Pan Lianhua.

"Of course it's fun to live together, but if I don't cook, I'm afraid people will think I'm a lazy woman."

Pan Lianhua remembered her grandfather's advice and decided to live separately.

Anyway, the two brothers of the Fang family had already separated in name and each had their own house, so there were no obstacles in their separation.

"Okay, then we'll go our separate ways. Little brother, I've packed my things, you can take them back later."

Tian Guihua had anticipated this outcome and wasn't unhappy about it. Afterward, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua moved their belongings over. However, he didn't take much, leaving some for his eldest brother.

There are four people in my eldest brother’s family. Taotao is already in school, so the family’s expenses are higher than his.

Fang Wei took two days off and didn't go to the team. He and Pan Lianhua were in a very close relationship and never got bored of being together all the time.

Day three.

Fang Wei arrived at the team headquarters.

Zheng Hu asked the old accountant to take out the account book and report to him the material consumption in the previous few days.

"The team slaughtered two pigs, and culled 20 old ducks in the poultry house. Other expenses included grain consumption, tea oil consumption, and cash expenditures, all of which are here."

The team killed two pigs, and there were 76 pigs left in the pig farm.

The number of ducks has not changed much, and the number of ducks in stock has always remained around 1000.

[Produces piglets, points +452]

[Produces Mallard, points +79]

Total points: 134033

Fang Wei took a look at the accounts and found no problems, so he put the matter aside.

"How's the production situation in the team?"

"The fields are all planted with the third-generation [Nongken 58] rice seeds, and they're growing well. Four sows at the [pig farm] were bred at the end of May, and all are pregnant. The poultry house and composting area are all operating normally, and we'll be able to harvest the ducks soon."

For a long time, Fang Wei was busy with his own marriage, and Zheng Hu was fully responsible for the team's affairs.

The team's late rice is planted with the third generation of [Nongken 58] rice seeds, and the sideline businesses are the same as usual, with no problems.

This year, the dryland area plans to plant one season of peanuts, one season of soybeans and one season of flue-cured tobacco. The progress in the forestry area is good, but there is still a long way to go before seeing benefits.

Zheng Hu reported the production situation of this stage in detail, and Fang Wei nodded, expressing his satisfaction.

After leaving the team headquarters, Fang Wei went to check on [Poultry House No. 2], [Pig Farm], and [Afforestation Area], and found that everything was normal, just as Zheng Hu had said.

The work of the team has actually been on the right track for a long time. After all these years of training, Zheng Hu may not be good at pioneering, but he is more than capable of maintaining the status quo.

When I returned at noon, Pan Lianhua had already prepared the meal.

"Third brother, I know I'm not as good as my eldest sister-in-law, but I will think about it more."

In the past, Pan Lianhua was the darling of the village, and everyone gave in to her and spoiled her.

But it’s not that I can’t even cook, it’s just that the taste of the food I cook is really hard to describe.

"I think it's pretty good. Practice makes perfect. You'll get the hang of it after doing it more."

Fortunately, Fang Wei was not a very picky person, and he encouraged the other person while eating.

Pan Lianhua couldn't help but smile. She knew her own cooking skills, and she was very happy that her third brother could understand her.

next day
Fang Wei did not go to the team, but instead packed his things and carried his gun and planned to go to the valley.

Before, the Fang brothers were very busy and certainly didn’t pay much attention to the valley, so I don’t know what the situation is like now.

When he arrived in the valley, he saw that a large area of rice fields had been destroyed beyond recognition.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do. It's hard to have the best of both worlds. Fortunately, he didn't need to worry about the yield; the rice was already ripe, so he began harvesting it.

Near noon, Pan Lianhua came with his hunting dog to bring him food.

"Sister, there are some rice ears I have collected over there. You can take some back later."

Fang Wei ate the food in big mouthfuls and gave some instructions to Pan Lianhua.

After he finished eating, Pan Lianhua packed up his things, put some rice ears into his backpack, and returned to the village.

It is possible to dry the grain in the valley, but threshing it is very troublesome because there is no flat and clean land.

Before finishing work, Fang Wei spread out the harvested rice, then picked as many rice ears with full grains as possible, packed them up, and took them home.

the next day.

Fang Ping also went to the valley with him. After several trips back and forth, he brought back about 200 kilograms of rice.

"Brother, this is the rice grown from hybrid rice seeds. Let's not worry about the yield for now, let's taste it first."

night.

Fang Wei brought Pan Lianhua to his eldest brother's house for dinner and specially cooked a pot of new rice (hybrid rice).

The new rice tastes very good, with a distinct "tribute rice" flavor and a delicate texture. Everyone enjoys eating it very sweetly.

"Third brother, this rice should be okay! We wasted too much of the rice we planted in the valley, and we didn't manage it well. I think the yield should be pretty good."

"Yeah, we'll see how the autumn harvest goes. What's certain now is that hybrid rice's genetic characteristics are very stable, but how many generations it can be cultivated remains to be seen."

Fang Wei himself didn't feel very good about it and estimated that this hybrid rice could not be saved for seeds.

He was too lazy to run into the valley again, so he cleared out all the sweet potatoes in his one-acre private plot, picked some seeds from the harvested rice, and planted them directly in his private plot.

He was mainly trying to save time, otherwise some experiments would have to wait until next year.

As for the problem of eating vegetables, it is easy to solve. Just pick them from the eldest brother’s private plot.

To be honest, planting rice on other lands has missed the farming season, and this one mu of land is the only designated land, and the blessing effect of regional attributes can reach 1%.

He also does not need to pursue yield, but only wants to verify whether this hybrid rice can be saved for seeds.

Time flies.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is here again.

The team slaughtered two pigs this time to ensure that every household had meat to eat during the festival.

The duck harvest started a few days ago. Old acquaintances such as Jiang Yufen, Guo Yongqing, Liu Wenxiu, and even logistics personnel from the coal mine and cement factory all came on time.

Jiang Yufen bought 30 ducks, Guo Yongqing bought 40 ducks, and Liu Wenxiu bought 30 ducks.

Of course, they don’t eat it themselves, they share it with their relatives and friends after returning home.

The coal mine requested 200 ducks and 8 pigs, and the cement factory requested 300 ducks and 10 pigs. This became a yearly tradition, and of course, the second team would also be provided with assistance when purchasing coal and cement.

There are about 500 ducks left and 56 pigs left in the pig farm.

The farm currently has 39 pigs, 4 sows, and 13 fat pigs that have just reached the market standard. After the 4 sows give birth next month, they will be eliminated and 4 new sows will be selected for breeding.

The ducks cost 2 yuan each, and 4 ducks were sold for 600 yuan.

18 pigs were sold at a price of 0.70 yuan per catty, with a total income of 3150 yuan.

[Produces piglets, points +5003]

[Produces Mallard, points +2400]

Total points: 141436

On the holiday day.

Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua went to the Yao village carrying large and small bags.

Grandpa was naturally very happy. Looking at the cigarettes and alcohol that Fang Wei took out, he couldn't help but say, "I have everything I need. Take it back and keep it for entertaining guests."

"Grandpa, there are some more at home. This is specially given to you by my third brother as a gift."

After Pan Lianhua said this, Grandpa stopped talking.
