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

Chapter 61 Farewell, Professor Wu Returns to the City
"It will get better, but it's hard to tell when. Maybe you can find the answer by reading more newspapers."

Fang Wei sighed inwardly and gave an ambiguous answer.

Later, the gang changed the subject and he went straight home.

In fact, there is no point in thinking too much, it is better to do your own thing.

It rained a little at night, and when I woke up in the morning, the sky was clear.

Fang Wei went up the mountain alone, carrying his gun and backpack. He wanted to pick some swan mushrooms and then take a look at the valley.

It was a bit hot and humid in the mountains, but the air was very good, so it was not difficult for him to walk through the forests.

After walking for a long time, he finally found the spring. The spring water flowed quietly along the hillside, and the amount of water was larger than when he came here before.

Fang Wei rested here, drank some water, and then continued on his way.

He was lucky enough to find a patch of [Swan Mushrooms] in the pine forest, so he started picking them.

This kind of mushroom is delicious no matter how it is cooked, and the taste is extremely fresh.

But it can’t be sold at a good price now, and even if it is taken to the market, it may not be sold.

So after picking this piece of [Swan Mushroom], he did not continue to go deep into the forest, but took a shortcut to the valley.

Fang Wei went to the field to weed and water the plants, then reinforced the weak points of the fence.

There are now piles of stones around the fence, and various shrubs and thorns are at least one person tall. From a distance, it looks like a wall.

After he finished his work and had something to eat, he set out on his journey home.

After he killed a litter of wild boars last time, he redesignated the [hunting area] to its original location.

But there has been no harvest recently, so Fang Wei plans to change the designated area and set traps again in a few days.

"Little scholar, are you going hunting?"

When he was almost at the village, he met a few members who were going up the mountain to chop firewood.

The other party greeted him warmly and Fang Wei responded.

Now everyone relies on firewood for fuel, and going up the mountain to chop firewood every day is a normal thing, but he doesn't care.

After returning home, Fang Wei gave the [Swan Mushroom] to his hungry sister-in-law.

Eat this thing at night. If you can’t finish it, you can dry it and use it to make soup later.

"Little brother, Old Wu came this afternoon, but he left when he saw you weren't home. He wouldn't tell me what happened when I asked him."

Fang Ping had not returned from work yet. Tian Guihua suddenly remembered something and told Fang Wei.

This was the first time Wu Maosheng came to him on his own initiative. He quickly put down his things and ran to the cowshed.

Wu Maosheng has had a new residence since last winter, still near the cowshed.

"Mr. Wu, I went up the mountain today. Are you looking for me?"

"Yes, I came to see you because I have something to talk to you about. Captain Zheng told me earlier that my performance here is being reviewed by the higher-ups and I might be able to resume my work."

When Fang Wei heard Wu Maosheng's words, he felt happy for him but also a little worried.

Being able to return to the city to work was certainly a great thing, indicating that his superiors recognized Wu Maosheng's performance. However, there was a problem with returning to the city now: the rations were insufficient, and I was afraid that life would be difficult.

"Congratulations, Professor Wu."

Fang Wei congratulated the other party. This was indeed a big deal for Wu Maosheng himself.

"I don't know how long this review process will take. I hope that even if I have to leave, it would be best to wait until after the autumn harvest."

Team 2 is a magical place. A group of young people made do with what they had and actually created an excellent rice variety like Nanguang No. 1.

Many people say that Wu Maosheng is the hero behind the successful development of Nanguang No. 1.

But he knew that this matter had little to do with him, and he was only teaching Fang Wei and others some basic agricultural knowledge.

When he was about to leave, Wu Maosheng suddenly realized that he was a little reluctant to leave.

He wanted to see how far Fang Wei and the others could go, and he also wanted to see the joy of the members after the autumn harvest.

"Professor Wu, life in the city is not easy these days, please take care of yourself." Fang Wei would not be naive enough to try to keep the other party. To be honest, even he himself could not decide whether the other party stayed or left.

Wu Maosheng nodded, feeling a little sad.

At this time, Guan Chongyang walked in and said:
"Old Wu, life is unpredictable. This is just a period of spiritual practice for you. Why do you have to look so miserable? Come on, let's go to Old Third and ask for a drink."

In terms of attitude towards life, Guan Chongyang is much more free and easy than Wu Maosheng.

He didn't have anything good at home, and knowing that Fang Ping was the team's wine-making expert, he took the initiative to ask Fang Wei to treat the two of them to a drink.

Fang Wei did not refuse and took the two of them to his residence.

Then he asked his sister-in-law to steam a plate of bacon and stir-fry a plate of [swan mushrooms], and also scooped a pot of sweet potato wine from his brother's wine jar.

This wine was sent by my second sister and brother-in-law. My eldest brother usually doesn't want to drink it.

When Fang Ping heard that Wu Maosheng was about to leave, he also ran over to join in the fun. Although everyone didn't say it out loud, they actually admired cultural figures like Professor Wu.

In addition, he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Wu Maosheng's guidance to Fang Wei.

In fact, Fang Wei should be more grateful to the other person. After all, in a sense, the other person has become his shield.

three days later.

The commune brought two comrades from the provincial capital to the second team.

All the formalities have been completed and they are here to pick someone up.

Wu Maosheng didn't expect it to happen so soon. Not to mention waiting for the autumn harvest, he had to leave before he could even wait for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"Third brother, over the past year, thanks to you and the captain's care, otherwise I wouldn't have made it this far.

When I get back, I will send some books to you and Hu Zi. If you have any questions in the future, you can write to me."

When they reached the village entrance, Wu Maosheng held Fang Wei's hand and talked for a long time.

The moment he turned and left, I couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zheng Hu and others were reluctant to see the other party leave. Several of their friends, including Deng Yuanen, cried out loud, and Fang Wei had to persuade them one by one.

"Let's all go back. There's no one in sight."

Zheng Xianfa also came. When Wu Maosheng and his group walked further and further away, he asked everyone to return to the village.

No matter what, it is something worth celebrating that Wu Maosheng can escape from his current environment and return to the provincial capital.

It was still early, so Zheng Hu and others went to the experimental field to work.

The 16 of them would spend most of their time in the fields. When it comes to intensive farming, the experimental field is undoubtedly the best in the entire commune.

Fang Wei took a walk around the experimental field and then returned home.

Next, he needs to take over from Wu Maosheng to teach Deng Yuanen. Although farming requires experience, mastering advanced agricultural science knowledge is more important.

The reason why Zheng Hu and others have made such rapid progress has a lot to do with Wu Maosheng’s efforts.

Fang Wei sorted out his thoughts at home and then began to prepare for class.

There is a difference between a prepared explanation and a free-flowing explanation. The former can be better absorbed by them, while the latter is mostly just for fun.

He worked until lunchtime, when he finally stopped.

"Everyone, listen carefully. From now on, every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening, you will all come to my room and I will teach you more about agriculture.

This knowledge was imparted to me by Mr. Wu. You must listen carefully and think carefully, it will be of great use to you.”

The class time is tentatively scheduled to be three times a week. The time can be adjusted at any time, but the total amount remains unchanged.

The reason why Fang Wei was willing to work hard was actually to have more free time in the future.

He felt that Zheng Hu and others were fully capable of doing the work in the experimental field, and he only needed to do some checking.
