Chapter 521 Meeting
It's no wonder that he didn't have much exposure to these things. He was a latecomer to the field and was transferred to a management position not long after he started farming.
When Feng Lixuan visited the house before, he heard Zhao Yeqing say that the shed in the backyard was a place for fermenting fertilizer. He didn't think much about it and thought it was a fermentation barrel for kitchen waste. When he heard it was manure, he was about to refuse, but the words stopped at his lips.
Now there are three people in the family, the old lady, the young aunt and him. It is impossible to ask the 90-year-old lady to go. There are only him and the young aunt. As for carrying manure, he will not go, so he will let the young aunt, a girl, go...
Never mind. Let him go.
He pinched his nose and walked outside the shed, put on gloves, and walked inside carrying the basket at the door.
It's better than expected, not as smelly as I imagined, but it's not a good smell either.
He turned around, took a deep breath outside, then held his breath and quickly used a shovel to shovel the fermented manure that Zhao Yeqing had mentioned, which had already turned into small particles, into the basket.
I couldn't help but run to the door twice to breathe before I finished loading enough manure.
When he reached the edge of the field, he asked, "Aunt, tell me how to apply fertilizer. I'll do it."
Although Feng Lixuan resisted this thing, he would not let a girl do it.
Zhao Yeqing waved him away: "I can do it, you go and have a rest."
"That won't do. I'm a grown man watching you do this and that."
"Really? I can control the dosage. Otherwise, if I spread too much, it will burn the seedlings. You just need to take a rest. I have been doing this for many years."
Feng Lixuan was slightly shaken: "Really not necessary?"
Zhao Yeqing smiled and said, "Really not necessary!"
Feng Lixuan, who finally felt relieved, immediately went back to the house to get his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Zhao Yeqing would go to check the situation in the distance every day. After applying fertilizer, he would wash his hands while it was still daylight and climb up the watchtower.
Before we got halfway there, we saw thick black smoke rising from the direction of the mine in the distance.

On the day Mu Xi left for the city, he was taken to the conference room after getting off the plane. The huge conference room was full of people wearing army green camouflage uniforms, and each of them had a serious expression.
He was brought in. The leader was a man he had never seen before. He looked to be around sixty years old.
Although he was old, his eyes were still clear and sharp. He didn't say anything, but just asked him to sit down and listen to the next arrangements.
Halfway through the meeting, he asked about the situation with the group of people he encountered on the meadow and the quality of the opponent they faced.
Mu Xi recalled: "There were three people in total. Two of them were not very well-educated, and one was obviously different. Whether it was his offensive methods, consciousness and thinking, or professional skills, they were all very different from the other two. Including the helicopter, it was this person who drove it here."
"You mean this man is not in the same group as them?"
"I don't rule out this possibility." Mu Xi replied: "I heard before that the reactionary organization's structure is quite complicated, not just one side's power. I suspect this person is from another force coming to support him."
Mu Xi thought so when he saw the photo album on his mobile phone. There were not many photos in the phone. Most of them, except for the photos of the mine this time, were a few sporadic photos of the streets of the stronghold.
The former mine photos were required for work, while the latter street photos spanned a long time span, as if they had visited here occasionally and captured the difference between what they saw and heard twice.
The subsequent meeting integrated the intelligence collected by all parties and analyzed the deployment and arrangements. It lasted for three hours and was not over yet.
During a break for lunch, someone came over to say hello to him and curiously asked him where he had lived all these years.
Anyway, the official people had been to the meadow, so he had nothing to hide, and he didn't deliberately try to find something thrilling or interesting to say. He just calmly recounted his life on the meadow in the past few years.
What kind of leader you are, what kind of subordinates you will get. If the leader is clear-headed and upright, the subordinates will not go astray either.
Soon, Mu Xi was talked into being one of their own.
He knew that these people were indeed very good people, straightforward, friendly and outgoing, but he also knew that they were trying to win him over.
A relatively long time was reserved for lunch, probably because there would be a long meeting in the afternoon. But everyone was not forced to eat the packed lunches they had prepared. Instead, they were allowed to eat in the cafeteria on their own.
This time, Mu Xi discovered that it was just as Brother Zhao said, the cafeteria aunties at the two windows loved to look at young and strong guys with a smile. Everyone knew it, so every time they went to eat, they went to those two windows.
The food provided was especially abundant.
The two young men who brought Mu Xi to dinner were estimated to be around 27 or 28 years old. They thought Mu Xi didn't know, so they explained to him.
"Brother Mu, next time you come, please come to these two windows. The aunties at these two windows give the most food."
Mu Xi did not spoil the fun by saying that he had been there before, and nodded to show that he understood.
The two young men, one named Zhou and the other named Zheng.
Xiao Zhou: "Brother Mu, do you know why not?"
He shook his head.
"Because the husbands of these two aunts were both in the guards before, they died, and the leaders arranged for them to work in the cafeteria. They love to see us coming to eat, and they always say that we look exactly like their husbands when they were young."
I see.
Xiao Zhou was very lucky: "These two aunts also have daughters, and they said they would find a date for their daughters in the team. Everyone in the team can't find a girlfriend every day. Fortunately, Brother Mu, you have a partner. Otherwise, with your face and figure, what would we have to do with you?"
Xiao Zheng was full of envy: "Brother Mu, you have been able to stay with your partner in the mountains for so many years, you are so lucky."
Mu Xi had been listening to them talking without saying much until this sentence. He put down his chopsticks, nodded and said, "I am indeed happy."
Xiao Zhou Xiao Zheng: ...I didn’t expect you to be this kind of Brother Mu.
After lunch, the afternoon meeting lasted until 8 o'clock in the evening, and the next day was spent on preparing supplies and weapons.
When it was getting dark, everyone put on their combat uniforms and got on the helicopter.
The operation took place at night. The helicopter arrived at a location about 100 kilometers away from the target point, and everyone slid down the cableway lowered by the helicopter.
They would then have to walk nearly a hundred kilometers from their current location.
The helicopter can only take them so far; any further they will be easily discovered.
Mu Xi felt that this area seemed familiar. After looking carefully, he found that he seemed to have passed by this area when he was hiking back to Meishan.
The team leader held a tablet with an incomplete data map on it. He could only lead the team forward based on the terrain and compass.
The captain was not very old and did not have much experience in mountain warfare. He was obviously not adapted to the ever-changing climate in recent years and encountered danger on the first night.
