Chapter 232
"August, do you smell the fragrance? This has salt in it, so you can't eat too much. I'll give you three."
As she spoke, she took three pieces of crispy meat and put them in August's rice bowl. August immediately put his face in the rice bowl and started eating. After he finished eating, he looked at Lin Nanzhi and meowed, as if to say it was not enough and asked for more.
Lin Nanzhi was not used to it, and shook his head to indicate that there was no more. August cried out in grievance, then jumped away quickly. It was obvious that there was nothing to eat here, so he went to find a place where he could get some.
The meal was ready quickly and the two of them sat at the dining table to eat. Wanbao still didn't come because the construction of her house was almost finished and would be finished tomorrow. After drying it for a day, they would move in the furniture.
"I want to have a dog." Lin Nanzhi suddenly said.
"What have you decided to raise?"
"Alaska." She really thought Alaska was particularly beautiful.
"Are you not afraid that it will destroy your house?"
Lin Nanzhi: “…”
"No."
"Then let's go and see it tomorrow?"
"good."
Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian agreed to go see it together, but in the end they didn't go because the village organized a meeting the next day and each household had to send one person. Lin Nanzhi's household registration had been separated, so he was considered a separate family, so naturally he had to go.
The commune in the village was built next to the park and covers a large area. It includes offices for village staff, a village clinic and some entertainment facilities.
Because there were so many people, no one went into the house. Instead, those who were attending the meeting brought a small stool and sat on the large playground.
When Lin Nanzhi and Wen Jiunian arrived, they saw that many people had gathered in the square. Some were sitting together in groups chatting and gossiping, and some were walking on the street in groups of three or four.
She pulled Wen Jiunian to sit under a tree. It was cool there.
It was only eight in the morning, and the sun was out. However, it was not very hot in the morning, and there was a slight coolness. But it would be hot in a little while. After all, that was how meetings in the village were. They talked about a lot of useless things. It was only one or two things, but it was as if they had said hundreds of things.
Wan Baobao also came. If she was going to stay for a long time, she would be half a villager here, so she naturally needed to know everything. Therefore, she also came early in the morning. She didn't know how to ride an electric bike, and she didn't buy a bike here. Thinking that her home was still a bit far from the commune, she bought a bicycle at Lin Nan Zhijia Store and came here.
After parking the car, he looked at the crowded crowd and swallowed his saliva. He searched for Lin Nanzhi and soon found him, so he ran over quickly.
"Nanzhi!"
"Wen Jiunian, you are here too."
"Um."
"You came quite early. You...didn't you bring a pony?"
Wanbaobao: “…”
“Forgot!”
She stared at Lin Nanzhi with wide eyes. Lin Nanzhi had no choice but to give her his pony. She simply took off the soft cushion on the pony, put it on the grass, and sat under the tree.
Wan Baobao didn't care and sat down on the pony. He then said, "This place is too far. I think we can build a road out of the mountain behind. Next time we come here, we can just go over the mountain."
Lin Nanzhi looked towards the mountain opposite.
The mountains are the mountains in the eyes of outsiders and the hills in their eyes.
The altitude is only about 100 to 200 meters. Trees have been planted on the mountain, and pavilions and other facilities have been built, which are the same as those used for climbing mountains on the plains. Therefore, bluestone steps have been built at the connection point of the park, all the way to the top of the mountain.
Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the road. The top of the mountain is about twenty meters away from where Wanbaobao is, which is indeed very close.
If you come from the sides of the hill, the detour is longer and it takes about 20 to 30 minutes to reach the destination. It only takes five minutes to get down from the top of the hill, walking 20 meters and climbing a hill that is only about 10 meters high.
You can tell from a distance.
"That's right, you can mention it to the village chief."
"Right."
The villagers arrived one after another, and the meeting didn't officially start until ten o'clock, so there was mainly nothing going on.
The first thing is that there are still two months to apply for house renovation. You must submit materials and choose the foundation within two months, and the construction must be completed within one year. The application will be invalid after two months. If you apply for a house but don’t build it within one year, the application will automatically expire. It is unknown when the application will be open, so those who want to renovate their houses should apply quickly. If you miss it, you will not be able to apply.
The second thing is that the fruits in the orchard are now ripe in large quantities, and they are recruiting workers. Those who need them can go to the commune to sign up tomorrow.
The third thing is that a batch of trees planted in the village are needed in the urban area, so the commune will count the number of trees needed and how much each family can get, and then organize people to transplant them at the door.
The fourth thing is to build a small river.
In addition to the small river that flows down from the waterfall in front of Lin Nanzhi's house, there are other small rivers in the village, but they have never been dug out and there are a lot of weeds in them, so each family is required to provide at least two people to follow the commune to clean them up and widen the small river.
If you don't want to go, you can pay. The commune will calculate how much money is needed and how much each person needs. Those who don't want to pay can contribute their labor, and those who don't want to contribute their labor can pay.
In addition, the waterfall also needed some renovation, so the village chief and the village committee secretary specifically mentioned Lin's father, saying that the commune would use money to buy back the land and then renovate it to make the waterfall look better.
Father Lin naturally disagrees.
The hill opposite the house is in a W shape. His main orchard is at the V, and Uncle Lin's orchard is on another V. The ∧ in the middle is exactly where the waterfall is. The place is not particularly large, so the orchard will not be affected if there is one less orchard.
"Well, let's discuss this later. The last thing is that the 15th day of the seventh lunar month is coming soon. According to local customs, everyone will definitely have a lively time, but we must pay attention to fire prevention. Also, we won't be setting off Kongming lanterns this year because the dry weather makes it easy for forests to catch fire."
The villagers naturally agreed readily, and the meeting ended there.
On the way back, everyone walked in groups of three or four, discussing what happened today.
Wen Jiunian and Lin Nanzhi came here on foot, so Wan Baobao pushed his bicycle and followed them. He asked in a daze, "What festival is the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
"It's the Ghost Festival!"
Wanbaobao's expression froze.
"Zhongyuan Festival, you also celebrate this?" If she remembered correctly, Zhongyuan Festival was the Ghost Festival!
"Yes, we celebrate it every year, from childhood to adulthood. Don't you celebrate it too?"
Wanbaobao: “…”
Who has ever been through this?
"Are you guys over?" She asked Wen Jiunian, as if trying to find someone like her.
Wen Jiunian nodded: "Yes, it is celebrated every year and it is very lively."
"I think they have all been to Southern Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, and the Imperial Capital!"
Wen Jiunian nodded: "I think so."
Wanbaobao's mouth twitched.
Why don't we ever?
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw a wisp of smoke rising into the sky. She widened her eyes and pointed forward.
