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

The next day.

After getting up, Yu Hao simply washed up and went to find Jiang Xia.

At this time, Jiang Xia and Chu Linlin were both up and making breakfast.

Yu Hao didn't waste any time and directly told Jiang Xia about the group of people planning to go into the mountains to pick mushrooms. Jiang Xia hurried to look for the educated youth, but couldn't find them. Some people said they had gone up the mountain before dawn.

After breakfast, Jiang Xia reported the matter to Zheng Hu.

"Third brother, those devilish brats are so ignorant that they went to the mountains with nothing but a hatchet. I'm worried they can't handle the situation there. Should we send some militiamen to find them?"

Zheng Hu was a little worried when he heard this. These educated youth were not familiar with the conditions in the mountains at all, and it would be difficult for the team to explain if an accident really happened.

Fang Wei happened to come to the team headquarters, and he told the other party about this matter.

"Send a few people to look for them, but don't hold your hopes too high. These guys left before dawn. Do you know where they'll go? It's really worrying."

After listening to this, Fang Wei couldn't help but sigh.

If he had received the news beforehand, he would never have allowed them to enter the mountain. But now they were gone, and finding them was almost impossible.

Because no one knows which direction they will go, what's the difference between this and looking for a needle in a haystack?
However, he still asked Zheng Hu to send a few militiamen to the mountains to try their luck.

Of course, the danger in the mountains is not as terrible as everyone says. I hope they are okay.

Fang Wei then sat down to read newspapers and documents. An hour later, he stood up and went to the [composting yard] and [poultry house No. 2] to start his daily routine inspection work.

After lunch, the militiamen who had gone into the mountains came back first and said they had not seen the educated youth.

"You haven't come back yet so late?"

Fang Wei looked at his watch. It was almost two o'clock, and those people had not returned yet. Could they have lost their way in the mountains?
He was not in a hurry in the morning, as he always felt that those people might not go too deep into the mountain and might come back soon.

But now he had a bad feeling.

Fang Wei quickly got up, put on his gun and packed some necessary things, then took his two hunting dogs and went to the mountains.

Although the hunting dogs have the ability to track, it has been too long since they went up the mountain, and some traces are difficult to find.

Fang Wei wandered around in the mountains for a long time but found nothing.

At this time, it was already past five in the afternoon. He felt that he might have missed the other party, so he planned to go back and see the situation first.

He did not return the same way, but went back from another direction, taking a detour.

By the time he returned to the village, it was almost dark.

"Has the person returned?"

After Fang Wei came down the mountain, he went straight to the team headquarters. On the way, he met two members and he quickly asked them.

"Captain, the people haven't returned yet. The team leaders are organizing people to go into the mountains to search."

One of the members reported to him that the team was preparing to organize people to search the mountain.

Fang Wei hurried over and saw about 20 people gathering at the team entrance.

"Huzi, this number of people isn't enough. Do you know if they've lost their way and gone deep into the mountains? So, you should immediately ask for help from the neighboring production teams. The more people, the better."

It was almost night, and twenty or thirty people would be of no use in the search.

But there are only so many people in the second team. Excluding the elderly, women, children and educated youth, how many more people can be mobilized?

Fang Wei made a prompt decision and asked for help from the nearby Team 1 and Team 4. Strength lies in numbers, and any problems can be easily solved.

This delay caused nearly two more hours to pass.

Fang Wei went home and hurriedly had dinner, then sat in the team headquarters and waited patiently.

Teams one and four sent out more than one hundred people, plus about eighty people from Team two, totaling more than 200 people who entered the mountain with torches.

At this time, the educated youth who went into the mountains were on the verge of collapse.

Fang Weiyi's predictions were correct. They went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and got lost. They walked further and further away, and originally wanted to return to the village, but ended up approaching the primeval forest.

A few guys were a little panicked. When they were crossing a ridge, one of them slipped and rolled down the hillside, being seriously injured.

The others made a simple stretcher and carried their companions around the mountains, but eventually they fell into desperate situation due to exhaustion.

As night fell, they had no choice but to find a tree hole to rest.

I was tired and hungry after the day and had eaten all the dry food I brought with me. Now I could only pray for a miracle.

Only now did the few of them feel very regretful, thinking that they should not have rashly entered the mountains.

But what's the point of regret? The injured are getting weaker and weaker, and the uninjured are not much better off.

All kinds of strange noises were heard in the forest at night, which was a torture for the educated youth.

"There's a fire! Everyone shout, help!"

In despair, they saw a fire appearing not far away, which spread from far away to near. Several educated youths could not help but shout loudly.

The search team finally found them and there was jubilation at the scene.

Later, this team sent someone to contact the other two teams. When they were moving in the mountains, they split into three small teams, not far apart, mainly to expand the search area.

It didn't take long before Fang Wei arrived in front of these educated youth.

"I'm sorry, Captain Fang! We made a mistake and are willing to accept any punishment. Please save Wang Jianguo."

Wang Jianguo was the injured soldier. His condition was very bad at the moment and he seemed to be dying soon.

"Of course there will be punishment. How much manpower and resources have you wasted? But now is not the time to discuss this. Stop shouting. Let me check on him."

Fang Wei used a flashlight and carefully checked the other person's injuries.

Fortunately, they were just minor injuries. The ankle was probably twisted but not broken.

"Zhao Baocheng, bandage him and then carry him back."

Taoist Sun is old, and Wang Guixiang, a female comrade, cannot walk such a long mountain road, so they only take Zhao Baocheng with them when they set off.

When Zhao Baocheng heard Fang Wei's order, he hurried forward to disinfect and bandage the wounded.

Then everyone got on stretchers and took turns carrying these guys back to the village.

"Thank you for your help. There's not much good food in the team. Take some peanuts home to eat."

Fang Wei had Zheng Hu give each member who came to support him two pounds of peanuts and a small packet of tobacco. Anything was a token of his appreciation, and he always paid attention to such things.

"Captain Fang, thank you! We'll be back then. If you need anything in the future, just let us know. We'll be there whenever you need us."

Those who came to help returned to their respective production teams, and those from the second team who participated in the search also went back to rest.

Fang Wei asked Taoist Sun to check on the boys and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing serious.

Later, Taoist Sun personally prepared a bowl of medicine for the wounded man, who fell into a deep sleep after drinking it.

"It's nothing serious. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."

Taoist Sun shook his head. These guys had almost no experience in the mountains, yet they dared to go up there. They were truly ignorant and fearless. "Thank you, Elder Sun. Go back and rest. I'll trouble you to check on them in a couple of days."

"Okay, I'm leaving first."

Taoist Sun left first, and Fang Wei, Zheng Hu and others handed these guys over to the educated youth group and dispersed.

the next day.

Fang Wei announced the punishment decision, ordering them to make a self-criticism in front of all members and to plant 100 trees each within a year in addition to their normal work.

If it is not completed, 30% of the work points for that year will be deducted.

To be honest, the team was lenient and did not directly deduct work points or rations.

Then Fang Wei once again reminded the members and educated youth that there were dangers deep in the mountains, and those who had no experience in forest activities should not joke with their lives.

The team does not have the right to issue a ban, it can only give advice.

However, after this incident, the educated youth should be much more obedient. The members of the commune don't have to worry, as they know their own abilities and generally won't go deep into the mountains.

Through this incident, Fang Wei also understood a truth. At present, strength in numbers is not just a slogan. For example, if there were no help from Team One and Team Four during this search in the mountains, the outcome would be hard to predict.

Two days later, the team distributed duck eggs again.

It is still distributed evenly, 20 duck eggs per person, and this season is just right for pickling salted duck eggs.

In addition, he sold more than 3000 kilograms of duck eggs to the purchasing station and earned 2620 yuan in cash.

[Produced duck eggs, points +4000, total points: 1007006 points.]

"Captain, Xie Wang encountered a wild boar in the forestry area early this morning. If he hadn't dodged it, he would have suffered a great loss."

A few days later, Gao Qingshan came to the team leader and reported that there were traces of wild boars in the afforestation area.

In fact, wild boars would come down the mountain before the autumn harvest every year. These wild boars would cause great harm to agricultural production, so Fang Wei would organize people to go into the mountains to hunt down the wild boars almost every year.

Before we put it into action this year, someone in the team almost got into trouble.

Fang Wei then called Zheng Bao and asked him to make a plan to encircle and eliminate the wild boars.

three days later.

Zheng Bao led a militia team into the mountains to encircle and hunt wild boars. Fang Wei did not go because the inspection team sent by the province was about to arrive at the second team.

"Third brother, the inspection team coming this time is of a very high level. What does the province mean?"

The province issued a notice and attached a list of inspection team members.

Most of the members are leaders from various places. Therefore, when Zheng Hu read the notice, he couldn't help but be amazed.

"What do you mean? We might suffer an unexpected disaster. Let me tell you, this time they want to put an end to the argument they've had for a while."

Fang Wei knew that Team 2 was going to be pushed to the forefront again, and the thought of this gave him a headache.

He had never expressed his opinion before. Deep down, he hoped to live a leisurely life guarding the second team.

However, to be realistic, it is really suitable for Xiatang Brigade to take back the accounting rights.

There are two reasons. First, after years of hard work, Xiatang Brigade has achieved substantial development in agricultural economy by cultivating secondary rice varieties.

Secondly, all members of the entire brigade hope to merge with Team 2, which essentially means they hope to unify the accounting of the entire brigade.

In many matters, the opinions of members are the key.

Therefore, Fang Wei must have a clear attitude before the inspection team arrives; ambiguity is not acceptable.

"Third brother, why don't you just become the team leader and take over the accounting authority, and all the conflicts will naturally be resolved."

Zheng Hu is not a fool. He has thought through the twists and turns here and is actually persuading Fang Wei to accept the brigade's accounting plan.

People always strive for higher positions. With the other party's abilities, he can't stay in the production team all his life, right?
"Well, I'll think about it."

Fang Wei sighed. It was okay for him to express his opinion, but he was afraid that someone would make a fuss about it.

But he couldn't hide and had to make a choice.

the next day.

The provincial inspection team arrived at the second team.

The inspection team is very large, with 23 members alone, and a total of 25 people including the team leader and deputy team leader.

Because of the prior agreement, neither the county nor the commune sent anyone.

Fang Wei had no choice but to take on the responsibility of reception and brought the team cadres to greet them at the village entrance.

"Comrade Fang Wei, you know the identities of all of us, right? Now I'll introduce each of us to you one by one."

Deng Shiping, leader of the inspection team, gave a detailed introduction to all members.

Then the group went to the newly built dormitory, put down their belongings, and began to tour the second team freely.

Fang Wei accompanied Team Leader Deng and five others to visit the cafeteria, exhibition room, hybrid rice experimental materials, poultry house and pig farm.

Deng Shiping took a look around with great interest, and finally took the initiative to ask to go to the forestry area to take a look.

Fang Wei accompanied them to the mountain, visited the tea oil forest, chestnut forest, and herbs planted under the forest. When going down the mountain, he also specially introduced the nanmu shelterbelt.

"No wonder everyone says your second team is a wealthy team. I took a quick look today and found many highlights."

Team leader Deng did not mention the issue of accounting rights, but was very interested in the financial situation of the second team.

Fang Wei had nothing to hide from the inspection team. Aside from the inventory in the barn, he answered almost every question honestly.

noon.

The investigation team ate in the cafeteria and praised the food of Team 2.

Starting from the afternoon, Fang Wei was no longer required to accompany them. Instead, under the leadership of Yu Hao and Chu Linlin, they went deep into the fields and the homes of the members to learn about the situation directly from the members.

After dinner, the inspection team borrowed the team headquarters’ conference room for discussion.

It was not until the third day after they arrived that Deng Shiping talked to Fang Wei.

"Captain Fang, what do you think about the accounting issues of the production teams and the brigade?"

“I believe that there is no right or wrong in either accounting method, but in reality, specific issues need to be analyzed specifically.

If a brigade is relatively poor and members are not united, then the production team accounting system is appropriate. If the brigade's economy is relatively good and the members actively request the implementation of brigade accounting, I think it is indeed possible to return the accounting authority to the brigade.

Fang Wei had to express his opinion. Although he believed that the brigade accounting model was not suitable for large-scale promotion, this accounting form was still very suitable for the Xiatang Brigade.

Team leader Deng and the others exchanged glances, as if they had not expected Fang Wei to say that.

Before they came, someone reminded them that Fang Wei's breeding work was inseparable from the second team. There had been a merger before, so they had to be cautious next time.

So Deng Shiping and others naturally assumed that Fang Wei would support leaving accounting rights in the production team. However, he actually believed that Xiatang Brigade was more suitable for brigade accounting. (End of this chapter)
