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

Chapter 73 Barrier
"Teacher Qi, it's getting late. Let's stop here for today."

Guan Chongyang would not allow the other party to say anything bad about Fang Wei to his face, so he put on a cold face and ordered him to leave.

Qi Feng felt that he had asked for trouble, so he left immediately, feeling somewhat resentful towards Fang Wei.

He was having a good chat with Mr. Guan, but when the young man came, everything became different.

From that day on, Guan Chongyang drew a clear line with Qi Feng and no longer had any contact with him.

Qi Feng soon found out who Fang Wei was, and at least he didn't dare to say bad things about him in front of the other members.

Early in the morning.

Zheng Xianfa gathered the resettlement personnel together.

"From today on, you will have to go up the mountain to chop wood on your own. I will arrange for someone to act as your guide, but once you are familiar with the terrain, you will have to rely on yourself."

When the resettlement personnel arrived, everyone brought food coupons and money.

The team provided them with basic rations and allowed them to purchase them with cash and food coupons.

In the first month, Zheng Xianfa even arranged for people to help them chop firewood and fetch water, and also took them to familiarize themselves with the surrounding terrain.

But this situation cannot continue. The members are already very dissatisfied with the resettlement of personnel. If they continue to be treated like old masters, they will sooner or later explode.

Therefore, they will have to rely on themselves for their future life and work together with other members to earn work points.

Don't want to work? That's fine, but you won't have food for next year, and we won't sell it to you even if you pay for it or get food coupons.

The resettlement staff didn't say anything because it was understandable.

"Okay, go get ready and follow Luo Dacheng up the mountain."

Zheng Xianfa didn't say much. He arranged a member of the cooperative to be a guide for these people and sent them away.

Fang Wei got up a little late today, and when he was going up the mountain with his gun on his back, he happened to run into this group of people chopping firewood there.

At first glance, there are not many people who can work, and most of them are weaklings.

Especially that "troll" Qi Feng, who is the best when he talks big, but he is totally weak when he works.

The other person was about 1.7 meters tall and not very thin, but he could not work as well as the semi-laborers in the team.

Luo Dacheng, the member who acted as a guide, stood aside and rested, neither urging these people nor talking to them.

"Little scholar, are you going into the mountains to hunt?"

When Luo Dacheng saw Fang Wei, he immediately came forward with a smile, which was in stark contrast to his previous indifference towards the resettlement staff.

"Yes, the weather is nice, let's go to the mountains and see if we can get some game."

Fang Wei generally has a good relationship with the members. Others respect him, and he is not one to get cocky.

The two chatted for a few words, and Fang Wei continued on his way without saying hello to the resettlement staff.

He could see that these people had not yet fully understood the situation and that they would need to stay for a few more days before they could slowly adapt to their current lives.

evening.

Fang Weicai went down the mountain and returned home.

I was lucky today and brought back a muntjac that weighed at least 20 kilograms.

It's quite funny. He went to the hunting area and worked hard for a long time, but found nothing. In the afternoon, he ate something and rested under a tree, but a silly muntjac came to his door.

Fang killed the muntjac with just one shot. It was hard to say whether he was too lucky or the muntjac was too unlucky.

There was deer meat to eat in the evening, and Fang Ping specially scooped out a pot of sweet potato wine.

He still had some stock, most of which were given to him by his brother-in-law Tian Bingyi.

"Third brother, you're lucky. The muntjacs are quite fat today."

Fang Ping talked more when he drank. He felt that he was increasingly unable to see through his third brother. In short, the other party was not only capable but also had good luck.

Fang Wei also drank a little, but not much.

After the meal, he filled a large bowl of roasted deer meat and a small pot of wine and sent them to Guan Chongyang.

Old Man Guan had behaved himself recently and stopped associating with Qi Feng. This was because not only had Fang Wei reminded him, but even Zheng Xianfa had warned him once to avoid dealing with certain "troublemakers."

The resettlement personnel have been in the village for some time, and their true natures have gradually been exposed. The reputation of some of them is really not very good.

Let’s not talk about the fact that “they can’t carry anything on their shoulders or lift anything with their hands” for now. The key point is that there are a lot of weird things said behind their backs. They slack off when asked to do something, which makes many members dislike these people.

Among them is Qi Feng.

You should know that placing them in the second team means taking up the food rations of the members, but they don’t want to do anything. Do they really think they are the boss?

Zheng Xianfa didn't lose his temper, but reiterated that next year their rations would be linked to work points. Furthermore, those who resisted labor would have their actual resistance recorded in their performance evaluations.

This made some people put away their little thoughts.

"Uncle Guan, if you save this bowl of deer meat for tomorrow, it won't go bad."

Fang Wei never mentioned Qi Feng again. The two of them had a tacit understanding and would not let a small matter affect their relationship.

Guan Chongyang went to get a set of bowls and chopsticks, tasted a few bites of deer meat, drank a sip of sweet potato wine, and was so happy that he even squinted his eyes.

"Third brother, you really don't want to learn from me?"

"No! If I have some free time, I can listen to you talk about it. It will be a way to gain more knowledge."

Fang Wei had no intention of learning those things. Yin and Yang and Feng Shui were feudal superstitions, and he didn't need to cause himself trouble.

It doesn't matter if you get to know him, but forget about inheriting Guan Chongyang's legacy.

Fang Wei sat with Guan Chongyang for an hour, chatting with the old man and talking about the changes in the external situation, then went home to take a shower and go to bed.

Now that the weather has turned cold, he no longer goes to the river to bathe. He usually washes with well water at home.

After taking a cold shower, Fang Wei felt refreshed. He flipped through the newspaper he brought back from the team headquarters before falling asleep.

In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a violent knock on the door.

"Little scholar, please open the door quickly. Someone is sick and you need to take a look."

Zheng Xianfa's loud voice could be heard two miles away, and Fang Wei's sleepiness was instantly driven away.

He quickly put on his clothes and ran to open the door, then saw Zheng Xianfa, Zheng Bao and others standing outside the yard, pushing a sick person on a cart.

Fang Wei invited everyone in, then lit the lamp and looked at the sick person, and found that the other person was an resettlement worker.

He had an impression of this person, who was an associate professor at the Forestry College in the provincial capital.

"Teacher Gao, what's wrong with you?"

Gao Qingshan was sweating profusely at this moment, holding his stomach and groaning.

"My stomach hurts, ouch!"

When Fang Weiyi heard that he had a stomachache, he immediately felt that it was very troublesome.

He went forward and did a simple pressure check, and based on his memory, he felt like it was appendicitis.

"Captain, please send it to the county town. Neither here nor the commune clinic can handle it."

When Zheng Xianfa heard this, he realized that the problem was serious.

So they quickly arranged for staff, covered the patient with a blanket, and sent him to the county people's hospital on a cart overnight.

Fortunately, there was no delay and Gao Qingshan saved his life after surgery.

This incident caused a great response among the resettled personnel. Previously, they were incompatible with the opposing members. Although there was no overt conflict, there were many people complaining behind the scenes.

Especially Qi Feng and the other two people, who spoke ill of Zheng Xianfa, Fang Wei and others all day long, which deepened the gap between the two sides.

But after the team actively treated Gao Qingshan, many people changed their mindsets, began to actively approach the members, and worked more actively and proactively than before.
