Just as Qin Muye expected, within two days, overseas media reported extensively on our obstruction of livestock quarantine.
The Western media distorted the facts and deliberately vilified our pastoral areas. They described it as if people, livestock and diseases coexisted in our pastoral areas, and the herders were living in dire straits and urgently needed their rescue.
Moreover, they sent an epidemic prevention and quarantine team to help, but they were harassed and attacked by our border troops, as if they were the saviors and we had become demons.
Qin Muye was called to Linzhi and severely scolded.
You have to write a self-criticism when you come back.
He has a disciplinary action pending against him, which has not come down yet, but if the situation continues to deteriorate, it will be inevitable, and he may even be demoted.
Only then did Xie Yuanchao realize that he had really caused trouble for his brother-in-law.
Qin Muye took all the responsibility, but his superiors did not hold Xie Yuanchao and the soldiers from the third battalion who had robbed the cattle and sheep accountable.
That evening, Xie Wan prepared dinner, but was just waiting for Qin Muye to come back.
"Where's my brother? He's not coming back for dinner?"
"He went to patrol Beibeng Township and probably won't be back tonight."
"Why is this person like this? Isn't there a performance by the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Palace Troupe tonight? Mother Xu called a few days ago and specifically said that she would come over too and wanted to see me and my brother.
I told him yesterday not to run around today."
Qin Muye helped Xie Wan set the table and said with a smile, "I guess he just heard that Mother Xu was coming, so he ran away in a hurry."
Xie Wan thought about it and realized that this was really the case. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
The people her eldest brother feared the most were the aunts and sisters-in-law in the South City Family Compound, especially Xu Bing's mother.
Political Commissar Xu has a good relationship with Xie Dahong, and Mother Xu treats Xie's children like her own children.
When she heard that Xie Wan was pregnant, Xu's mother could have stayed away from the performance in Tibet due to her age, but she came along all the same this time, just to meet Xie's child and remind Xie Wan of the precautions to take after her pregnancy.
"My brother is already 27 years old, and it's been more than two years since Huang Lili's incident, so why is he still so afraid of Xu's mother introducing him to someone?
Does he really want to be a bachelor for life?"
Qin Muye put a piece of beef in Xie Wan's bowl. Xie Wan didn't want to eat the beef, so he gave it back to Qin Muye and just drank the soup.
Qin Muye frowned, "Didn't your appetite improve the other day? Why don't you want to eat again?"
The soup in Xie Wan's bowl was just ordinary vegetable soup, made from vegetables picked from the space, without even a hint of oil.
"The matsutake mushrooms we had that day were delicious. This kid is a picky eater. He doesn't even like beef or mutton. On the contrary, I kind of want to eat pork."
Qin Muye said hurriedly: "I will try to get some pork tomorrow."
In Tibetan areas, beef and mutton are common, but pork is rare, and vegetables are not easy to get. Fortunately, Xie Wan planted vegetables in his space.
Before they finished their meal, they heard the laughter of children coming from outside the yard, mixed with Li Yufeng's loud voice.
There was a knock on the gate.
"Xiao Xie, we are going to save a seat, let's save a seat for you too, and give me one of your little stools."
An art troupe came to perform, and the wives and children of the soldiers in the family quarters treated it like a holiday and rushed there early to grab a good viewing spot.
Xie Wan opened the door and handed a small bamboo stool to Li Yufeng. "Sister Yufeng, I heard that it won't start until 8pm. There are still two hours left. Maybe the Wengong group hasn't arrived yet. Why go so early?"
Li Yufeng's round face was deliberately tidied up today. She touched the Pechoin and could smell its fragrance from a distance.
"Well, I'm free anyway, so I might as well go over there and take a seat and chat.
"Xiao Xie, you should come earlier too. The people coming this time are from the Sichuan Provincial Wengong Group, and there are people from Nancheng among them. If you run into someone you know, you can ask about Nancheng's affairs."
As the two were talking, Zhang Xiaolan's family came out.
Then, I saw that every household in the staff compound was hurriedly carrying small stools and bringing their children, preparing to reserve seats in advance.
Whenever I pass by Xie Wan's house, I always chat with Xie Wan.
When Xie Wan returned to the room, he saw Qin Muye had already cleaned up the kitchen.
"Aren't you going to receive the art troupe and host the party?" Seeing that Qin Muye had no intention of leaving, Xie Wan asked.
Qin Muye took off his apron and went into the room to sit at the desk. He picked up the pen and bit the pen, looking at the paper in worry: "I haven't finished writing the inspection yet. I'll let Lao Zhang preside over it tonight.
When you go there later, I'll go with you to take a look."
Lao Zhang is the political commissar of the Wild Wolf Regiment, so it is reasonable for him to host this kind of entertainment activity.
Seeing that Qin Muye was concentrating on writing his self-criticism, Xie Wan did not bother him.
I entered the space and prepared to see if the red pine trees that I transplanted a few days ago were alive.
This fifty-year-old red pine tree is really big. Fortunately, Xie Wan can control anything that enters the space with his mind, otherwise it would be impossible to plant it in the soil.
When Xie Wan arrived at the edge of the pasture, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Chisong was still standing.
Maybe it’s because the spiritual energy in this space is so rich that the red pine is no longer as wilted as the day it was transplanted.
The branches are stretched out, with new green sprouts faintly visible, which means the plant is alive.
A pine nut hit Xie Wan on the head.
“Squeak…squeak…”
A little head popped out from the red pine tree, and its dark eyes looked at Xie Wan with vigilance.
"Little squirrel, I'm sorry. I helped you move without asking for your opinion."
This little chestnut squirrel was supposed to have made its home on this red pine tree. But when Xie Wan was collecting red pine trees that day, he didn't pay attention and collected it along with the other squirrel.
This is a typical Eurasian red squirrel. In summer, its back is chestnut and its belly is white. In autumn and winter, the color of its back will turn into a beautiful brown-red.
Xie Wan felt that since they were already here, it was fate, so he called the little squirrel down, mixed some marrow cleansing elixir water into the water, and prepared to feed it.
The little squirrel looked at Xie Wan in horror, then quickly hid back in the tree hole, trembling.
Xie Wan was puzzled. Other animals loved to drink this marrow cleansing elixir, so why didn't this little squirrel know the value of it?
"Little squirrel, this water is good stuff. Drinking it will make you smarter."
Xie Wan spoke in a language that the squirrel could understand.
But the little squirrel above was unmoved, and even threw pine cones from the hole at Xie Wan. Was it thinking Xie Wan was a bad person?
Xie Wan sighed, "It seems that you don't like it here anymore. Then when I am free, I will release you back to the woods."
Seeing that there was still some time, Xie Wanjin went back to the Hall of Recollection to read for a while, and then left the space and went to the performance venue with Qin Muye.
In the space, Xiao Zhi waited until Xie Wan left before sneaking under the red pine.
