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

Chapter 29 Don’t Be the First to Stand Out

"I swear to God, I treat the experimental fields like my ancestors and serve them with all my heart. Captain, don't worry, nothing will go wrong."

Fang Wei patted his chest on the spot and said that he would do a good job in breeding.

Zheng Xianfa was a little depressed. Each and every one of them was a troublemaker and caused trouble for him as the captain.

Who in the village didn't know that the Fang family could eat wild game every now and then? But no one could say anything strange about this kind of thing. If they had the guts, they could go hunting in the mountains themselves. No one was stopping them.

"Hurry up and go do whatever you want. But let me be frank. If you don't achieve anything by then, I'll deduct your work points."

Zheng Xianfa waved his hand and drove Fang Wei out directly.

In fact, there are some things that cannot be expected to be handled by a 16-year-old boy on his own. The reason for calling him over is just to communicate.

After Fang Wei left the team headquarters, he put away his indifferent expression.

He will pay more attention to that Chen Mazi in the future. As the saying goes, "It is easy to meet the King of Hell, but difficult to deal with the little devils." Opportunists like the other party have no bottom line in their behavior.

The next few days.

Fang Wei did not go up the mountain again.

The rice in the experimental field will soon enter the heading stage and does require careful care.

He asked the team to bring Zheng Hu and three others, and Wu Maosheng also came to take a look from time to time during the lunch break.

"Fang Wei, the rice we planted is growing very fast. We have already checked the rice in the fields. Next, we need to pay attention to topdressing, weaning, and watering. Don't be afraid of trouble, just do as I say."

Wu Maosheng was a little surprised that the rice in the experimental field grew very well, exceeding his expectations.

However, this situation is still within a reasonable range. The seeds are carefully selected one by one and should perform better.

Fang Wei was not worried. The attribute enhancement only increased the growth rate and output by 25%, which was not too outrageous.

In the future, seeds will be cultivated through generations and will be able to cover up many problems, so there is nothing to worry about.

He is busy here, and other members of the team are also busy.

From now until the autumn harvest, no one will have a lot of free time.

However, Fang Wei still found time to sneak into the mountains twice.

Because he was busy taking care of the experimental fields, he hardened his heart and raised the level of the [Hunting Area] again, from level 3 to level 4.

He had only one goal: he didn't have time to run to the mountains every day, so he could only hope that the traps he set could catch some prey.

[Temporary Land] → [Woodland] → [Hunting Area]

【Area: 200 square meters】

[Area Level: (Level 4, 0\500)]

[Regional attributes: Agility, Speed, Strength, Hunting Skills, Success Rate Bonus]

[Hunting in this area increases all attributes by an additional 20%]

Total points: 268

After the upgrade, the hunting area has been expanded to 200 square meters, and the success rate of traps in capturing prey has also increased.

Both times I went up the mountain, I got something in the trap. One time I caught a rabbit, and the other time I caught a squirrel.

He took the hare home as a snack and let the squirrel go, but it was still considered a gain.

[Harvest prey, points +13, total points 281 points]

Everything in the valley was the same as before. During this period, his elder brother Fang Ping had come here twice. The sweet potatoes were growing well, and there would definitely be a bumper harvest if nothing unexpected happened.

The overall situation of the second team is not bad. They were able to dig an artesian well in a year of severe drought. It has to be said that this is a miracle.

This also made other production brigades and production teams in the commune very envious, and they all asked the commune to contact the county to support them in digging wells.

So far, there hasn't been a drop of rain in the entire county. Who wouldn't be anxious?
Chen Mazi took the opportunity to complain to Tang Ze, saying that Guan Chongyang and Fang Wei from the second team both had ways to find the water veins, but they just refused to serve everyone.

Captain Zheng Xianfa and others not only did not do the work of the two men, but even supported them.

Tang Ze didn't necessarily believe Chen Mazi's words, but the situation was stronger than he was. His mouth was covered with blisters because of the current drought. He thought about it for a moment, then took Chen Mazi and the old brigade secretary to the second team again.

"Leaders, old branch secretary, welcome to the second team to inspect our work."

Zheng Xianfa was not notified in advance, but Tang Ze and others appeared at the team headquarters.

When he saw Chen Mazi, he probably guessed what was going on.

He cursed Chen Mazi to death in his heart, but had to put on a smiling face.

"Captain Zheng, let's be frank. Why don't you let Fang Wei go to the well drilling team to help?"

Tang Ze didn't have time to beat around the bush with Zheng Xianfa, and his face immediately darkened.

"God knows what I'm doing! I've done a lot of work behind the scenes, but people don't want to go. I can't just use someone else to kill someone else."

Zheng Xianfa swore that he and several team cadres had never interfered.

The old branch secretary knew the other person best. Seeing that the other person was getting more and more outrageous, he couldn't help but glare at him:
"Zheng Xianfa, talk to your superiors nicely, don't talk about 'killing blood' or not."

Tang Ze had a blank expression on his face and didn't mind a few words of local dialect.

"Go and invite Fang Wei and Guan Chongyang over here. I'll talk to them in person."

The leader had spoken, and Zheng Xianfa didn't dare to disobey, so he immediately called Fang Wei and Guan Chongyang over.

"Uncle Guan, Xiao Fang, on behalf of the commune, I'm asking for your help. The drought is getting worse, and some production teams are having trouble getting water.

I really have no other options. Whether or not you can find a source of underground water, the members will be grateful to you."

After all, Tang Ze was the commune secretary, so he directly avoided the question of whether the other party could find the water vein and just asked them to help.

They also promised a daily subsidy of one pound of food and required the second team to give them full work points every day.

The old branch secretary kept winking at Zheng Xianfa, so Zheng Xianfa had to take the lead in expressing his position and said that the team would strongly support him.

When the stubborn old man Guan Chongyang heard that he would get one pound of food every day, his lips trembled for a long time, but he finally nodded.

"I have no problem. It's a good opportunity for me to learn more skills from Master Guan."

Fang Wei sighed secretly. He could only agree because his arms were no match for his thighs.

Zheng Xianfa looked at Chen Mazi angrily from the side, thinking that he would find an opportunity to teach this bastard a lesson.

He doesn't play tricks, but he will attack by surprise and set traps. In short, he won't let his opponent off easily.

"Okay! On behalf of the commune, I thank you! I'll contact the well-drilling team later and ask both of you to take time off from work to help. Once you achieve something, the commune will definitely give you a big reward."

A smile appeared on Tang Ze's face, and then he left in a hurry.

Zheng Xianfa stomped his feet and hurriedly chased after him to send the man off. Several other team leaders also followed.

Fang Wei and Guan Chongyang slowly left the team headquarters, looking quite helpless.

Guan Chongyang is an old bachelor who is not afraid of death but afraid of hunger. He compromised only for the sake of the daily subsidy of one pound of food.

Finally, Fang Wei was the only one left, and naturally he would not be stupid enough to be the first one to stick his head out.

Anyway, he has made up his mind to follow Uncle Guan and make a decision based on the actual situation when the time comes.

night.

Fang Wei discussed it with his elder brother and decided to let him take over the experimental field.

Zheng Hu and the others continued to stay and help, so that Fang Ping could spare some time to take care of the things in the valley.

The next day, Fang Wei told Zheng Xianfa about his idea, and the other party immediately agreed.

Three days later.

Fang Wei and Guan Chongyang went to Tianjia Brigade together.
