As the sun rose higher, the elder followed Lu Bairen and Old Liu around the farm and found that the farm was surrounded by dense forests, and only the farm was a flat land.
"This place used to be a dense forest, but several villages came here to hunt and often cut down trees to build houses, so this place gradually became flat. In order to build a farm, Ayi used the cut down trees as raw materials." Lu Bairen served as the commentator and talked about the situation of the farm with the elders.
The elder looked at the large area of cultivated land. On the right edge were the private plots of each family, but white tents were built on them.
"Those are the greenhouse films that Old Wei had his apprentice send over. We've grown a lot of vegetables in them this year," Old Liu muttered nearby. "It's been dry here this year, so Old Wei built a waterwheel. Not only does it bring water to the farmland, but every household also has a dedicated water inlet for their private plots."
When the elder heard Lu Bairen talking about the movements of several villages at the foot of the mountain, he sneered. Every village was eyeing the fat piece of meat, the farm. If the pigeon committee members in the county had food, they could protect the farm.
"Let Ayi continue to shoulder this responsibility. The stable grain prices on the black market are all due to Ayi's efforts." The elder felt that Lu Shiyi had a good vision.
"Hutou is a rare child. If it weren't for his physical disability, he should have been able to stay in the team." Old Liu felt regretful. "Achang wanted to drag Hutou to work, but Hutou refused. He just wanted to go home."
When the elder heard Old Liu talk about the situation of the Hutou family, he sighed heavily. A reform that had been planned was taken advantage of by some people.
"In the capital, the situation is getting worse. Both courtyards are under constant surveillance. Old Qi took the train to southern Guangdong, but I came here secretly. Teng Snake is leading people in the courtyard." The elder discussed the situation in the capital. "Those two boys in your family are not very honest."
The elder looked at Old Liu and complained, and Old Liu's face turned red. If it weren't for the father and son of the first wife, Old Liu's lineage would probably have been in decline.
The family members living in the compound are accustomed to the ups and downs of each family.
"Who says it's not? I'll be relying on Achang and his family from now on. The second and third wives have been giving me a lot of trouble. I signed a letter of guarantee at the logistics department before I could leave." Old Liu only wanted to buy peace for the father and son of the first wife. "I gave them all my bills. I don't know what kind of trouble the house will be in when I go back."
"Have you put away your important things?" the elder asked Old Liu. "As long as you put them away quietly, it will be a lesson for the Second and Third Houses."
"It was handed over to Achang at the beginning. My wife bought a small courtyard for Achang in advance. When she was not well, she asked Achang to take the things out secretly." Old Liu missed his wife.
"In the final analysis, your wife is very courageous. Seeing that your two remaining sons are not capable, she let her grandson take over. What good will it do to follow the Yan family and the family behind them?" The elder has already guessed the person behind the scenes. He was a fence-sitter back then, constantly wavering, and now he has become a disaster.
"If you and Lao Qi can hold on and deal with that person before returning to Beijing, the kids still lack experience." Lu Bairen felt sorry for Lu Shiyi.
The burden on the farm is heavy enough, so Lu Shiyi and Su Jin take the risk of entering the black market to ensure that the elderly will not go hungry in the winter.
"Giving him more pressure will help him grow!" The elder patted Lu Bairen cheerfully. "I've arranged for many good seedlings to be sent to farms everywhere. We'll see who can rise to the top."
Lu Bairen led the elders as they walked, introducing the uses of each place to them.
The family compound is separated from the old men's compound. The old men live together in pairs. If both old couples are there, they live together as a couple.
"Ayi's planning is good. I see that each family has its own vegetable plot inside the greenhouse." The elder praised Lu Shiyi.
The three of them went to the activity center. The old men saw the elders in the cafeteria, and they all changed into new cotton clothes and waited there.
The old people have been busy with their work, as these are all needed in winter.
"Elder, your grandfather is here?" Elder Wei saw the elder and immediately stepped forward. "When do you plan to return?"
"I just arrived, and you old man want to send me away?" The elder glared at the other party angrily.
"Of course, some of the team members are not used to it when you are on the farm." Elder Song stared at the elder and said, "Don't you see that the team members are too far away from the activity station?"
The elder waved his hand and said, "It's just to train the courage of these brats. They are all tough guys when they go on missions, but they become shy boys in front of me."
"Are you going into the mountains to hunt soon?" Old Song asked the young soldier at the door.
The young soldier smiled awkwardly: "Grandpa Song, I just want to ask if you want some water..."
"No need!" As soon as Mr. Song finished speaking, he ran out immediately.
Old Song stood there awkwardly, rolling his eyes at the elder: "Look, you scared me away again!"
The elder spread his hands and said, "We old guys are gathered here, isn't it time to work together?"
Qishe stood outside the door, and the elder sat on a chair. The old people put down their work and gathered around the elder.
"Elder, you've come here for something. All of us old guys have been arranged to come here." Old Ke looked at the elder. Among the elderly people on the farm, nearly half were veterans who had fought on the battlefield.
The elders took the documents that Qi She had placed on the table and passed them around one by one.
"What is Old Yan planning to do?" Old Ke looked at the documents. All the crimes of the Yan family were recorded. "The person behind this is plotting something bad."
"What should we do now?" The elders stared at the elder. "Have you come here to make arrangements for the imperial capital? What about Elder Qi? He's a military commander. Even with the Special Operations Department, if he really encounters danger, he won't be in good shape."
