Chapter 10: An Unfortunate Encounter
If the sheep from our own village died, it would be fine. If the sheep from other villages died as well, it would be a disaster and there would be no way to explain it.
Cui Xiongnian didn't even think about it and directly disagreed.
"Dad, will you listen to me first?" Cui Xue looked at her old father helplessly.
"I've studied it. The way we originally thought of raising sheep in pens is not suitable. It is very likely that we will not be able to raise sheep in the end. So I thought of raising sheep in the open, but raising sheep in the open requires a place, and there are also requirements for the place. Not all places can be used."
Seeing that he looked thoughtful and obviously took her words to heart, Cui Xue swallowed her saliva and continued:
"There is a flat open space to the west of our village, but part of that land belongs to Daliang Village. I was thinking about whether we should cooperate with them and raise sheep on that land. This way, we can expand the space for the sheep to move around."
Cui Xiongnian was somewhat tempted after hearing this. He was not completely ignorant of raising sheep. After all, he would hang out in front of experts when he was free and listened to a lot of knowledge about raising sheep.
So when Cui Xue said this, he felt it made sense.
But after all, they were mission sheep. He was happy to do this, but Daliang Village might not be happy with it.
"If it doesn't work, how about we rent their land?" Seeing his hesitation, Cui Xue gave a second plan.
"Okay! I'll go talk to them."
Cui Xiongnian went to Daliang Village right away. He thought he would have to waste some time arguing, but the captain of Daliang Village agreed immediately.
When he came back and told Cui Xue about it, she was a little bit unbelievable that he agreed so easily.
It was not until they met the captain of Daliang Village when they were building the sheepfold that they realized that he agreed so readily because he thought that Cui Xue, a high school student, was more educated and more reliable than those rough guys.
The person sent by Daliang Village to learn how to raise sheep was actually the one who was in charge of raising cattle before. The most important thing is that he is over 50 years old. He has experience in raising cattle, but only a superficial understanding of raising sheep.
Even if there are experts to guide, can we expect an old man over 50 years old to learn it within five days?
It's simply a fantasy, right?
So Daliang Village also wanted Cui Xue to take care of their sheep.
Cui Xue, who knew that they had such thoughts, was speechless.
Get rid of it. Although she has academic qualifications, she is not a genius. She can't raise sheep in five days.
Now she is also at a loss for the sheep. They actually pin their hopes on her. It's really a huge pressure.
But no matter how she thought, this matter finally fell on her.
Originally the most leisurely person in the whole village, now she has to run to the sheepfold every day.
There is always a reward for hard work, and Cui Xue gradually became adept at taking care of the sheep.
After half a month, when Cui Xue finally got some free time, she found that she had not received any letters for a long time.
She could understand that Liang Zongshan did not reply, probably because he was on a mission and had no time, but why was there no news from the newspaper?
With a strange thought in her mind, she went to the mailroom specifically, looked around, and there was really no letter for her.
It happened that she was on vacation today, so she rode her family's 28-bar motorcycle to the town, went to the post office to ask if there was any letter for her, and the answer she got was no.
In this case, it was really the newspaper that did not reply to her letter, and not someone took her letter?
Not knowing why it took so long this time, Cui Xue was puzzled for a moment and then put it out of her mind.
Even if she was in a hurry, she couldn't rush them, right?
So she went to buy some paper and pen, and then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some eggs, then turned around and went straight to the scrap station.
Maybe she was unlucky today. When she arrived at the scrap station, she actually ran into a group of people with red armbands who happened to be doing something in the scrap station. Hearing the intense noise, Cui Xue frowned.
When she was hesitating whether to go over, someone had already seen her.
"Hey! What are you doing? You're sneaking around. What are you doing here?" A young man standing at the outside suddenly pointed at her and asked loudly.
Cui Xue was annoyed when she saw him like this, but ordinary people couldn't fight these red armbands, and she didn't want to cause trouble for the Eighth Master.
Just when she was about to speak, the Eighth Master leaned out from inside, saw her, and said quickly: "This is my granddaughter, she must be here to see me."
"Granddaughter?" The person obviously didn't believe it, and looked at the old man with a suspicious look, and then looked at Cui Xue.
At this time, Cui Xue approached the scrap station, her face had returned to calm, and facing his suspicious gaze, she handed the eggs bought from the supply and marketing cooperative to the old man.
"He is the eighth grandfather of my clan. If you don't believe me, you can go to Daping Village and ask him. I am the daughter of the captain of Daping Village, Cui Xue."
After hearing her words, another person next to the man whispered a few words in his ear, which should be to confirm the fact that the old man was from Daping Village and also had the surname Cui.
After temporarily confirming that she was fine, the man didn't say anything, but his eyes were still on her and the old man.
"Why are you here today? If you come, why do you bring these? Wouldn't it be better to buy two cakes to sweeten your mouth?" The eighth grandfather held the egg and scolded Cui Xue unhappily.
As he said that, he took out a few cakes from the guard room and handed them to her.
"I'm taking a break today. I haven't visited you for a long time, so I came to the town to see you. I'm not a child anymore. You eat it, Eighth Grandpa." Cui Xue didn't take the cakes. She smiled and pushed them back to the old man.
The old man knew her temper, so he didn't say anything and took his hand back.
"It's a mess here. You should go back early. Don't let your parents worry about you as a girl."
With outsiders around, the old man started to drive them away without saying a word.
Although the old man was no different from usual, Cui Xue could see
that he was nervous. He was probably afraid that these red armbands would suspect Cui Xue and ask her questions.
"Okay, I'll come to see you when I have time." Cui Xue nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait." Before she turned around, the man spoke again.
Cui Xue closed her eyes, turned around and looked at him.
"What's the matter?"
"Have you brought your ID?"
Don't mention it, Cui Xue really did have one. She was afraid that her mail was in the post office. If she was asked for ID when she went to pick up the mail, she brought it out.
But who was he? Why did he check her ID? Who did he think he was?
"Does it have anything to do with you whether I bring my ID or not? What qualifications do you have to check my ID?" Cui Xue frowned and looked at him.
The people present probably had never encountered such a situation. The originally noisy scrap station suddenly became quiet, and the red armbands inside all looked at her.
