"Hey girl, did you and Xiao Zhuang encounter a bear last night?"
As soon as Wang Shufen saw Lu Fangfang, she took her hand and looked her up and down carefully.
Early in the morning, Zhuang Mingcheng led a company of men to search for wild bears near the breeding farm, and the news had already spread throughout the family compound.
Even this morning, the children were escorted to school by soldiers, for fear of encountering any danger.
"Sister Shufen, I'm fine. Last night, that bear was quite far away from us, on the other side of the river. My little flower and the little Tibetan fox called at it for a while, and then it ran away."
"Oh my, that's scary enough."
Wang Shufen was horrified when she heard this.
Bears are not ordinary wild animals; they are creatures that can actually hurt or even eat people.
"Girl, you should go back and get some rest. I'll stay here and watch over things."
Lu Fangfang nodded. She had taken a stroll around the meadow and was now feeling a bit sleepy.
After tidying up the things in the tent, she picked up the dandelion and led the two little ones towards the family compound.
On the way, she ran into several other women, all of whom were asking about the bear.
Lu Fangfang stopped, replied with a few words, and explained the situation at the time.
She didn't really have any strong feelings about it.
At the time, Zhuang Mingcheng had a gun, and the earthen walls of the incubator were thick, so even if the bear dared to come over, nothing serious would happen.
...
"Look, look, I told you it wasn't safe at night. You still want to go to the farm? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt by wild animals?"
"Xiao Lu seems to be fine."
"Hmph, a bear? That's a bear. Xiao Lu was just lucky this time. Let me tell you, don't rush to the farm. We need to take a look first."
The women whispered among themselves.
Lu Fangfang hadn't gone far when she vaguely heard a few words.
She shook her head, not caring. The farm was just starting out, and they weren't short of people.
When she arrived at her doorstep, just as she was about to go inside, she suddenly heard a "creaking" sound coming from next door.
Turning her head, she saw a group of ducks walking over from the corner. Lu Fangfang recognized them immediately; they were the ducks from Sister Shufen's house.
Just as she was wondering about this, she saw the flock of ducks stop in front of the gate and start quacking towards her house.
"Giggle~"
"Giggle~"
Hearing a noise from the nearby water outlet, Lu Fangfang went over to take a look.
A duck's head emerged from the drain at the base of her courtyard wall, followed by the entire duck.
"Giggle~"
The two ducks that had just emerged also saw Lu Fangfang.
They called out to Lu Fangfang and then walked into the flock of ducks.
A flock of ducks, with their pigeon-toed gait, slowly made their way to the gate of the courtyard.
"Hey, what's going on here?"
Lu Fangfang stared at them, completely bewildered.
She opened the door, letting Xiaohua and the little Tibetan fox go back first, then turned and followed the flock of ducks.
"quack."
"quack."
Her two ducks were very familiar with Shufen's ducks; they quacked at each other as if they were greeting each other.
Upon reaching the entrance of the residential compound, they leisurely strolled out.
"Ahem, Xiao Lu, are you going out?"
Zhao Guilan looked somewhat uncomfortable when she saw Lu Fangfang return.
"Um."
Lu Fangfang casually replied and followed the flock of ducks.
Once outside, the flock of ducks headed west, pecking at the roadside grass along the way.
As we walked to the riverbank, the ducks all went into the water, pecking at something in the river as they swam upstream.
"These guys are really smart."
Seeing this, Lu Fangfang couldn't help but scratch her head.
She followed the flock of ducks and swam upstream for a while.
Seeing that the ducks were swimming peacefully in the water and were not harming the vegetables on both banks, she felt relieved.
She couldn't help but laugh and shake her head. To be honest, this group of ducks was quite interesting.
Just as she was about to go back, she suddenly noticed that the rapeseed flowers by the river were starting to bloom sporadically.
Lu Fangfang stared at it, stunned for a long time.
Back then, she and Sister Shufen planted rapeseed along the riverbank for three or four hundred meters.
After two or three months of growth, the rapeseed has finally blossomed.
After taking two steps forward, Lu Fangfang stood on a high point and looked out. The rapeseed flowers, stretching for two or three hundred meters, looked quite spectacular.
Right next to the rapeseed flowers, there was also a row of tall sunflowers.
The yellow rapeseed flowers, paired with yellow sunflowers, and the distant mountains created a beautiful scene that she gazed at for a long time.
Qilian rapeseed flowers
"How much rapeseed oil and sunflower seeds will this take? This is incredible!"
Lu Fangfang murmured to herself, feeling a surge of excitement.
This year, the Qilian Mountains have enjoyed favorable weather and abundant rainfall, resulting in thriving grasslands. The rapeseed and sunflowers she planted are also growing very well, suggesting it should be a bumper harvest year.
She estimated that if she ground all of these into rapeseed oil, it would be enough to last her for the next two years.
She was in a good mood after walking around the rapeseed field.
She picked a cucumber from the field, washed it by the river, and walked towards the family compound while eating it.
As soon as they reached the main road, Lu Fangfang heard the sound of horses' hooves.
Looking back, she saw that the person on horseback was Zhuang Mingcheng's messenger, and she waved to stop him.
"Comrade Hao Dazhuang, where is your regimental commander? How is the situation?"
"Sister-in-law, the regimental commander is still leading men to search for the bear. We just killed two wolves, but we still haven't found the bear. The regimental commander told me to come back and transfer a company from the Second Battalion to search the area around the regiment."
Lu Fangfang was quite surprised to hear this. "Okay, then go quickly, don't delay."
"Giddy up!"
