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

Chapter 79: Jingting (First Order!)
That’s right, Fang Wei and Zheng Xianfa both suspected that Chen Mazi was the one who reported the incident.

There's no need to continue talking here.

The two began to chat about this and that, and after drinking a pot of wine, Zheng Xianfa said goodbye and left.

Fang Wei saw the captain off and returned to the house, unable to help but smile.

What he just said, one, two, three, actually does not stand up to scrutiny. He was intentionally throwing the pot of dirty water on Chen Mazi.

It doesn't matter whether the other party did it or not. What matters is that this person is a nuisance, so try to make as many enemies as possible for him.

Not long after, the commune criticized Chen Mazi for violating regulations when he went to the countryside, and then transferred him to do odd jobs.

It is said that the evidence that Chen Mazi violated the regulations was provided by Zheng Xianfa and the captain of Team 1.

Fang Wei was quite happy when he learned about this.

Of course, after being happy, I no longer paid attention to Chen Mazi because he started to get busy again.

early morning.

Fang Wei carried his gun and walked into the deep mountains and forests.

He planned to use this slack time to investigate the situation in the mountains in detail.

He needs to know the distribution of wild tea oil trees, wild camellia sinensis, edible fungi, and various wild animals.

Fang Wei did this not for the sake of academic research, but because he had some new plans in mind.

As the saying goes, "live by the mountain, eat by the mountain; live by the water, eat by the water." Only when he has a relatively detailed understanding of the entire forest can he maximize his benefits.

As time passed, he went out early and came back late almost every day, and his notes on the information filled up several notebooks.

During this process, he discovered many valuable herbs and picked some of them. He also recorded many that were not yet harvested, and marked the specific locations.

He also discovered a lot of wild animals, but his purpose was not hunting, so he did not use a gun.

After trekking through mountains and rivers, he found wild chestnuts in a forest. Although there were not many of them, he marked them.

Finally, we found a large area of wild tea oil trees deep in the mountains.

Although there are not as many tea oil trees in this patch as in the team, he estimates that the output is not small.

However, this area is too far away from the village. It takes about 4 hours one way. Two sections of the mountain road are very steep, which makes it difficult for ordinary people to walk.

But his biggest gain was that he discovered some wild rice plants in the wild.

For the time being, he has no intention of conducting hybrid rice experiments, but he will continue to screen high-quality rice seeds.

As the weather grew colder, Fang Wei finally calmed down.

Pan Lianhua sent some bacon, and he also sent some soybeans to the other party. This made him realize that the Spring Festival was slowly approaching, and in the blink of an eye it was a new year.

When he woke up in the morning, Guan Chongyang came to Fang Wei with a torn paper chessboard.

"Mr. Guan, good morning."

"Third brother, look, this chessboard is broken. Can you help make a wooden chessboard?"

Guan Chongyang came to ask Fang Wei for help. The chessboard in his hand was no longer usable. Paper items are not durable and will be damaged if not paid attention to.

That's why he proposed making a wooden chessboard.

"Sure, but you'll have to wait a few more days. This thing takes a lot of time."

Fang Wei nodded and agreed readily.

He and his elder brother both do carpentry work. Their skills aren't particularly good, but they're passable.

Making a chessboard is not difficult, but it is labor-intensive and requires a while of waiting.

"As long as you can do it, why worry about it being a few days late?"

Guan Chongyang was not in a hurry. If he really wanted to play chess, he could draw a chessboard on a stone. It was just not very convenient.

"Okay, I'll help you make it later. Uncle Guan, why haven't I seen you and Mr. Wu play chess before? He should be able to do it, right?"

Fang Wei received a letter from Wu Maosheng two days ago. He has been busy recently and has not had time to reply.

Then he remembered some things from the past. He seemed to have never seen Guan Chongyang and Wu Maosheng playing chess together.

"Of course he can. But that old guy is always scared like a grandson, afraid to do anything. How could he possibly play chess with me?"

When Guan Chongyang heard the question, he also thought of Old Man Wu.

I wonder how this old guy is doing after returning to the city?

Fang Wei and his elder brother took the time to make a chessboard and a set of chess pieces out of wood, and handed them all to Guan Chongyang.

"Third brother, I have nothing to do recently, so I might as well make you a desk and a cabinet."

There was not much furniture in Fang Wei's room. Fang Ping had originally planned to wait until his third brother got married before buying a set of furniture, but now he felt that he should add a few more items.

Otherwise, there would be no place to read or write, and the clothes would have to be packed in boxes.

"Sure, I have no objection, but I'm afraid we don't have enough wood at home."

Fang Wei was indifferent, but was a little afraid of trouble.

When Fang Ping heard this, he immediately went out to borrow some wood and would return it to the owner when he had more.

When the villagers heard that the "little scholar" was going to make furniture, they all contributed the old wood stored in their homes.

People have a scale in their hearts. You can't feel it when nothing is going on, but when something happens, you can see people's opinions.

Fang Wei looked at the front yard full of wood and didn't know what to say.

He had said that they didn't need so much, but the other party didn't listen at all. They just put down the wood and left without even mentioning whether to return it. Fang Wei solved the problem of everyone having enough food, so what was a little wood?
Fang Ping went from house to house, telling them that they had more wood than they could use and asked everyone to stop sending them.

A small thing can show how high Fang Wei's prestige is.

"Third brother, let us help."

Zheng Hu and others came over to help. Rural children usually know how to do all kinds of work.

Even if you don't have carpentry skills, you can still contribute.

Fang Wei did not rush the process, and the two brothers polished it slowly, and their carpentry skills improved as well.

"Brother, who did you learn this craft from?"

Fang Wei's skills were taught by his elder brother, but he never told where his elder brother got the skills from.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fang Wei finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"He's an old carpenter. You were studying at school during those years and rarely came back, so you don't know about this."

Fang Ping obviously didn't want to say too much, so Fang Wei didn't ask any more questions.

The brothers' craftsmanship is decent, and they don't care about the deadline. With careful craftsmanship, they make pretty good furniture.

"Brother, you can definitely make a living with your cooking skills in the future."

Fang Wei made a joke. He only knew that his elder brother could not live without the land, and only farming could make his elder brother feel at ease.

He himself also never thought of becoming a craftsman.

After making a few pieces of furniture, there was still a lot of wood left at home. Since they couldn't return it, the two brothers discussed it, and Fang Wei suggested building a well pavilion for the village.

Zheng Xianfa was very supportive of this matter after he learned about it. The wood for the four pillars as well as the tiles and other human materials were all provided by the team.

The design was naturally the work of Fang Wei. In his previous life, he had seen many [Well Pavilions] of different styles, so he just chose one at random.

When work started, all the members came forward to help, and even seven or eight resettlement workers showed up.

Strength lies in numbers, and a simple and unpretentious [Well Pavilion] was quickly built.

The Well Pavilion is located at the village's largest well and has become a popular tourist attraction. It also has practical value, serving as a rain shelter.

Time flies by so quickly when you are busy.

The Chinese New Year is almost here.

The village slaughtered two big fat pigs and distributed the pork to the members.

Because the resettled people did not have many work points, this time they were not calculated based on work points and each person received 1 kilogram of meat.

If members ask for more, each person can get about one and a half pounds of pork.

Every household began to prepare for the New Year, and the atmosphere of the New Year was much stronger than in the first two years.

The first two years were difficult during the New Year, but now we have no worries about food and drink, so our mood is naturally different.

Tian Guihua had bought the cloth long ago and took time before the New Year to have someone make new clothes for her family.

Fang Ping sent some rice to his father-in-law and second sister, and also gave each family a duck.

Both sides also exchanged gifts. All in all, I am quite looking forward to this Spring Festival.

"Little scholar, next year the commune will give us 500 ducklings. What should we do with the ducks we have now? Do you have any ideas?"

Zheng Xianfa found Fang Wei and discussed with him how to deal with the ducks in the team.

The ducks have grown up, so there is no need to continue feeding them. After all, they will consume feed throughout the winter. It would be better to raise a new batch of ducklings in the spring of next year.

He can make his own decisions, but he still has to respect Fang Wei, the "duck commander".

"Keep a few as appropriate and distribute the rest among the members. In principle, each family will get one. Families with a small population and few work points can pool together and each family can get half a bird."

Fang Wei immediately proposed a distribution plan, which was still based on work points.

Several people in the five-guarantee households can pool together, and two households with few work points can pool together. As for the resettlement personnel, it would be inappropriate to give nothing at all. 17 people can share a total of 4 ducks.

Work points will be calculated this time. If the resettled personnel do not have work points, they will be put on the account first and will be deducted eventually.

Fang Wei went to the market before the New Year and sold all the ducks except the two he kept for himself. He couldn't raise too many chickens and ducks by himself, so he would only raise three chickens and three ducks at most, and this was specially approved by Zheng Xianfa.

His personal savings exceeded 400 yuan, amounting to 460 yuan.

It was worth his hard work for a whole year.

Guo Yongqing and sisters Jiang Yuling and Jiang Yufen came to the village one after another.

Their purpose is to buy some New Year's goods. The supply in the city is limited, and they can only get some good things in the countryside.

Fang Wei helped them collect some eggs, dried mushrooms, sweet potato vermicelli, glutinous rice and so on. These things had already made them very satisfied, and they would not ask for anything more.

New Year's Eve.

Fang Wei went to take Guan Chongyang home, and everyone had a reunion dinner together.

The New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous. In addition to the [fried blood duck], we also stewed an old hen.

There are dried mushrooms and sweet potato vermicelli in the chicken soup. Taotao and Tingting started drooling when they smelled the aroma.

In addition, there are dishes like [fried bacon], [eight-treasure rice], [steamed pork with rice flour], [stuffed tofu], plus some vegetarian dishes, filling up the table.

In addition to the children, even Tian Guihua had a bowl of sweet potato wine placed in front of her.

　Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
