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

Chapter 94: Youthful Awakening, Beagle
Later.

Grandpa walked in from outside, and Fang Wei quickly stood up to greet him.

"Grandpa, you look very healthy and in good spirits."

"It's okay, it's okay. I can still eat two bowls of rice in one meal. Third brother, sit down. Why are you standing up? Let's eat in the house at noon. I'll call someone to cook."

Grandpa has a very special status in the Yao village. Even if he is the team leader, he has to ask him for advice when encountering important issues.

Since Pan Lianhua had to accompany the guests, he called two people to help.

Fang Wei drank a bowl of tea, remembered his other mission, and pulled Pan Lianhua to the terraced fields.

The team had promised to send someone to guide the village's planting, and this was also his purpose for coming here today.

"The japonica rice in the village is growing well. Grandpa said we don't have to worry about the autumn harvest, it will definitely be a bumper crop."

Pan Lianhua had long since gotten over her childhood emotions. She and Fang Wei had been in frequent contact over the past few years, and their relationship had been getting closer. Today was another big step forward.

At least that's what she thought.

The two of them walked on the ridge of the field, and Fang Wei's attention was focused on the rice.

[Nongken 58] has a high yield, but has correspondingly higher requirements in terms of planting.

"Sister, the rice in the field needs more careful management. In addition, this variety itself requires more fertilizer, so this must be guaranteed.

Some people in Zhejiang jokingly call [Nongken 58] a 'dung bucket, a labor rat,' meaning that this variety of rice requires a lot of labor and fertilizer to grow.

Fang Weiyi gave instructions as he walked.

Pan Lianhua saw two princes not far away, so she called them over to listen together.

In a word, we need to strengthen field management, increase the amount of fertilizer applied, and ensure that there is sufficient water in the farmland.

Pan Lianhua and the others took note of it very seriously and planned to talk about it with everyone later.

"We're leaving now. You two youngsters, take your time."

The two princes said goodbye and left. Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua walked around the terraced fields and went to the bamboo forest.

A breeze blew by, and the bamboo forest made a rustling sound.

The weather is still hot now, but it is very cool in the bamboo forest.

Pan Lianhua found a large bluestone to sit on, and Fang Wei sat next to her naturally.

"Brother Fang, you are so capable. None of the other brothers in the village can compare to you. You know what? I actually envy you. You can accomplish whatever you want, while I am completely useless."

"Why are you saying that about yourself? You're quite capable, aren't you? You're so brave to go out hunting alone at such a young age. The key is that you got good breeds for the village. Otherwise, how could we have such a great harvest?"

"Third brother, you are really good at talking. I know you are just trying to coax me, but I am still very happy in my heart."

The two chatted casually while sitting side by side, and Pan Lianhua unknowingly leaned her head on Fang Wei's shoulder.

Fang Wei reached out and gently held the other person's waist. At this moment, neither of them wanted to talk anymore, and they were all immersed in a beautiful mood.

it is more than words.

When Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua returned home, lunch had just been prepared.

Grandpa had a chicken killed and a big pot of chicken soup stewed, along with a few other dishes.

Pan Lianhua's face turned red again. This reception standard was based on the standard for a future son-in-law who came to visit. When she saw her grandfather staring at the two of them with a smile, she couldn't help but think too much.

Fang Wei was not very clear about his little daughter's mentality, but he ate the food and drank wine with big mouthfuls, and it was rare for him to drink rice wine.

Grandpa didn't say much. He asked a few questions about the precautions for planting [Nongken 58] and said nothing more.

He was very perceptive of the subtle emotional changes between the two young people. He was happy to see their relationship unfold, but he would not interfere too much.

After eating and resting for a while, Fang Wei got up and said goodbye.

"Brother Fang, wait a moment, I have a gift for you."

Before leaving, Pan Lianhua called him and then brought two furry puppies from the backyard.

These two little beagle puppies have just been weaned, so it’s perfect for them to take home and raise.

Fang Wei was very happy. In the past, he didn't dare to keep a dog because he didn't have enough food. Now that he had the conditions, he immediately accepted the gift and thanked Pan Lianhua again and again.

Pan Lianhua smiled slightly and sent him out of the village, sending him one step at a time, just because she didn't want to go back.

"Sister, let's stop here. If you drop me off any further, you'll have to drop me home. I'll be going to the valley every day for the next few days. If we meet, we can go hunting."

Fang Wei had no choice but to stop and tell Pan Lianhua not to send him off and to go back quickly.

But seeing her reluctant look, his heart softened, and he set a date for them to meet again. Anyway, he would be tending to the land in the valley for the next few days, weeding, watering, and fertilizing.

In a few days, the soybeans on this side of the valley will be ready for harvest.

"Okay, I'm going back. See you tomorrow."

Pan Lianhua then turned around and returned to the village. She planned to go to the valley tomorrow morning.

Fang Wei felt that this beautiful girl was beginning to come to his senses. He himself was also a little moved and was also looking forward to meeting her tomorrow.

He stopped several times along the way, fearing that the two puppies would be uncomfortable in the basket, and always wanted to let them out to get some fresh air.

It was almost dark when I got home, just in time for dinner.

"Brother, Manman brought back two puppies."

Fang Wei walked into the house. Tian Guihua was busy in the kitchen. Taotao had just come back from helping him feed the chickens and ducks and was washing his hands in the backyard.

Tingting was the first to see the puppy that her uncle brought back. Looking at the furry little guy, she couldn't help but shout with joy.

"What puppy?"

Fang Ping went to his private plot to pick some chili peppers, and when he entered the house he heard his daughter's voice.

He walked forward curiously and saw that they were actually two hunting dog puppies.

Taotao ran over from the backyard and fell in love with the two puppies as soon as he saw them. He squatted on the ground and couldn't stop watching them.

"I went to the Yao village today. Before I left, Sister Lianhua gave me two little hounds. Taotao, remember to help me look after them before school starts. I'll take care of them myself after school starts."

Fang Wei was not in a hurry to take the puppy away. Rural children are generally not afraid of dogs, so he just left it here for the time being.

While eating, Tian Guihua also took a look and said with a smile:

"It's a blessing that life is better now. If it were two years ago, people wouldn't have had anything to eat, so how could they have the time to feed the dog?"

Brothers Fang Wei and Fang Ping looked at each other, and it seemed that the other party did not object to keeping a dog.

Of course Tian Guihua wouldn't object. This was her younger brother's business, and if she tried to stop him, wouldn't she be offending him? Although Fang Wei still ate from the same pot with everyone else, in reality, the two brothers had already separated in name.

She is just a little rough, but not stupid.

During the meal, Tian Guihua kept asking about the details of Fang Wei's visit to the Yao village. When she heard that Grandpa and Pan Lianhua had killed a chicken to entertain him, she understood.

It seems that there is a chance between me and Lotus girl.

After dinner, Fang Wei took the two puppies back home.

"We need to make a nest for the two puppies. It's too late today. Let's wait until tomorrow."

He then carried the two puppies into the house. They were still too young and it would be better for them to spend the night at home.

Next he went to the river to take a bath, and went to sleep after returning.

The next day.

After Fang Wei woke up, he fed the puppy some sweet potato porridge before going to eat breakfast. "Brother, I'm going to the valley later. Please help me build a doghouse in the yard."

He had already agreed with others that he would go to the valley today, so he naturally couldn't go back on his word.

The matter of the doghouse can only be left to my eldest brother, but fortunately it is not a troublesome matter.

"Well, go do your thing. I'll help you with it today."

Fang Ping waved his hand indifferently. This little job was nothing to him.

Fang Wei put down his bowl and chopsticks, and went up the mountain with his gun and some other things.

Now even Zheng Xianfa is too lazy to care about him. When he is not around, Zheng Hu is in charge of the breeding team's affairs. All the work is in order and there has never been a mistake.

The weather is nice today. He walks briskly on the mountain road, full of youthful energy.

Fang Wei is already eighteen years old and has unknowingly entered the ranks of adults.

No matter how calm his personality is, the innate youthful restlessness will often burst out of his body.

He hummed a little tune and reached the valley in 20 minutes less than usual.

At this time, Pan Lianhua was already waiting outside the fence.

"Sister, good morning!"

"Third brother, good morning to you too. I think the soybeans you planted are very good and should be ripe soon."

When Pan Lianhua saw Fang Wei, she quickly ran over and helped him take the backpack off his shoulder and put it away.

She regained her lively and active personality and was no longer the little girl who blushed easily.

Last night, she asked herself, do you like Brother Fang San? The answer is that she likes him very much and is willing to be with him all the time.

"It's almost ripe. I'm growing high-yield soybeans. I'll give you some seeds to plant later."

Fang Wei looked at the other person's smiling face and his mood suddenly improved.

After opening the gate and walking in, he began to weed, water, and finally add fertilizer. Today's task was completely completed.

Pan Lianhua couldn't help, so she just stayed with him quietly. Seeing that it was almost noon, she hurried to cook.

Fang Wei brought some rice, two boiled eggs and pickles, while Pan Lianhua brought bacon and two glutinous rice cakes.

The two of them acted as if they had discussed this beforehand, and no two actions were the same.

After finishing his work, he went to the stream to wash himself.

The bamboo tube rice is freshly baked and the aroma fills the air when you open it.

Just roast the glutinous rice cake over the fire, and then the two of them can start eating.

Having such a meal in the wild is quite a feast, and the lotus flower has a unique flavor. Whether the food tastes good or not is not important for now; the key is who you eat it with. If you like each other, sweet potatoes will taste just as sweet.

After finishing the meal and cleaning up, Fang Wei said he would take the other person home.

The valley is not close to the Yao village. If we delay any longer, it will be dark by the time we get home.

"You'd better not send me off. Wouldn't it be even later if you send me off and then I go back?"

Pan Lianhua struggled for a long time, but reason prevailed. She was worried that it would be unsafe for Fang Wei to go back at night.

In the end, Fang Wei walked Pan Lianhua for a while. He naturally held the girl's hand. Pan Lianhua was shy, but more surprised.

night.

He saw the "doghouse" made by his elder brother in the yard, which looked really nice.

It is made entirely of wood, and is tall and spacious. Even when the two puppies grow up, the interior space will not feel cramped.

A well-made wooden building, well-reviewed.

Do you designate this building as a kennel?

The information floated before his eyes, and Fang Wei immediately designated it as [Kennel].

[Facility] → [Living Facilities] → [Kennel]

【Facility Level: (Level 1, 0\10)】

[Facility Attributes: Disease Prevention, Strength, Ferocity, Loyalty, Alertness, Intelligence, Increased Combat Power]

[Raising dogs in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 10%]

Fang Wei was very satisfied with the properties of the [kennel]. When the two puppies grew up, they would definitely become excellent hunting dogs.

Now he had plenty of points, so he spent 6660 points to upgrade the level of the [kennel] to level 7. He hoped that the puppies would grow up healthily, and then he would have two good helpers when he went into the mountains.

[Facility] → [Living Facilities] → [Kennel]

【Facility Level: (Level 7, 0\100000)】

[Facility Attributes: Disease Prevention, Strength, Ferocity, Loyalty, Alertness, Intelligence, Increased Combat Power]

[Raising dogs in this building will increase all attributes by an additional 70%]

Total points: 12514

"Starting tonight, you two will live here. This is your home. Remember this."

Fang Wei spread straw in the [kennel], then brought the two puppies over and put them in.

At first, the little ones always wanted to run away, but they only behaved themselves after he drove them back several times.

Next, Fang Wei and Pan Lianhua made an appointment to go to the mountains twice. They were lucky enough to catch a wild rabbit and a pheasant.

He didn't get any points this time because he was just playing a supporting role and was eventually caught by Pan Lianhua.

"Third brother, I can't come starting tomorrow. Grandpa wants me to stay in the village more and supervise the brothers and sisters to do a good job of managing the fields. Oh, when can we meet again?"

It is impossible for two people to stick together every day. They each have their own things to do.

Fang Wei could understand, because he himself couldn't hang out outside all day.

"Let's get busy for a while, and then we can go pick chestnuts together later, okay?"

"Okay! It's a deal."

The two of them have met several times in recent times, and they are still at the stage of holding hands and occasionally snuggling together.

Fang Wei didn't want to move too fast. After all, he was not ready to start a family. What would happen if he rashly tasted the forbidden fruit and accidentally caused a death?

He actually likes this feeling very much. It is better to savor the wine of love slowly.

Of course, as a person who has lived two lives, he will not get caught up in it. He has to do what he has to do.

A few days passed quickly.

Fang Wei and his elder brother harvested soybeans in the valley together. In the end, they were reluctant to leave the land idle and planted sweet potatoes.

Even though there is no shortage of food, sweet potatoes are still useful. At least they can be used to make wine and sweet potato vermicelli. In fact, dried sweet potatoes are also a delicious snack, but in the past few years, people ate too much sweet potatoes, and now even children are reluctant to eat them.

"Third brother, you don't have to worry too much about the sweet potatoes this season. Just check on them occasionally."

Fang Ping relaxed and tried to persuade Fang Wei instead.

Fang Wei had no objection. He was confident in his sweet potato variety. Even if he had to rely on the weather, he could still harvest two to three thousand kilograms from one acre of land.
