Chapter 342 Uninvited Guests 1
An uninvited guest came to Taoyuan Village today. This uninvited guest turned out to be Wang Guoqing, the captain of Beishan Village.
It turned out that Wang Guoqing went to the county town to find his cousin Tang Jianguo, who was surprised to see Wang Guoqing that day.
After Tang Jianguo heard the purpose of his cousin Wang Guoqing's visit, he also heard the worry in his cousin's heart. So he suggested that his cousin go with him into the mountains to visit the breeding farm in Ziyi Mountain.
Tang Jianguo thought that seeing is believing, hearing is not. My cousin went to see it in person and came back feeling relieved.
So there are uninvited guests in Taoyuan Village today.
Yi Ke was directing the construction of a new chicken coop with Hu Haohan in Dongtian Fudi. She was washing her dirty hands by the spring under the cliff when the little wolf beside her made a whimpering sound. She looked in the direction the little wolf was looking.
She exclaimed "Oh shit" in her heart, and Tang Jianguo and Ma Youcai appeared on the mountain road leading out of the mountain, and between them was the team leader Wang Guoqing.
Yike immediately stood up and went to greet him, and the little wolf followed closely, whimpering.
"Stop whining, they are our own people." Yi Ke patted the wolf's head.
"Hi, Brother Tang, Uncle Wang, Brother-in-law, welcome to Taoyuan Village." Yike shouted loudly.
"Sister Yike, how did you know we were coming? Are you here specifically to pick us up?" Ma Youcai jumped from behind to the front and said happily.
"Yes, I counted on my fingers this morning and thought that a distinguished guest would be visiting today, so I came here to wait. And finally, he actually arrived. It turns out that the distinguished guest is Uncle Wang! Haha." Yi Ke said with a smile.
"Ziyi's wife, I am not worthy of being your guest. Please don't be offended by my presence here to bother you." Uncle Wang said politely.
Yi Ke waved his hand and said with great pride: "Uncle Wang, you are either a distinguished guest or a rare guest. When you come to our village, we warmly welcome you. How can we say that we are disgusted? Brother Tang, am I right?"
"Yes, cousin, just listen to your sister-in-law. No need to be polite to her." After Tang Jianguo said this, he winked at Yike, meaning to say, look, I'm saying everything you say.
"Let's go home first, take a shower and have a rest, then we'll welcome you, Uncle Wang." Yi Ke asked a worker to drive a ox cart over and let everyone ride it back.
Sitting on the ox cart, Yike asked casually if anything happened outside. Otherwise, they are all busy people, how would they have time to come into the mountains.
"Ziyi has found a place to buy some of the instruments, but I don't understand why, so I came in and asked Ziyi to go out and take a look." Tang Jianguo explained, "My cousin came in to visit, and Ma Youcai is missing his wife. Haha." Tang Jianguo even made a joke at the end.
Ma Youcai cried out like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Nonsense, nonsense. I am obviously your escort, don't try to distort the facts."
"Wife Ziyi, Brother Ma Youcai did come in with us. My cousin said that the wild animals in the mountains are hungry in winter, and they were afraid that they would go out to the outside to find food. If they ran into him, he was afraid he couldn't fight them alone, so he asked Brother Ma to come in with him. Thank you very much, Brother Ma. After you get out of the mountains, come to my village to play, and I will accompany you for a drink." Wang Guoqing expressed his gratitude.
"Haha, brother-in-law, are you sure you are just a caregiver and don't want to come in to see my sister Guihua?" Yi Ke said jokingly, "I will go back and tell my sister that you are not here to see her."
"No, please don't." Ma Youcai bowed and kowtowed to Yi Ke in the car, "Good sister, dear sister, I beg you, please don't say anything nonsense. I just came in to see my wife. I missed my wife, so I ran in."
Wang Guoqing kept his mouth open for a long time. It turns out that even a man as mighty as Brother Ma still keeps his ears drooped.
When the ox cart entered Taoyuan Village, we saw a gravel road extending in all directions. In the middle stood a large flat yellow stone with the three big characters "Taoyuan Village" engraved on it.
Wang Guoqing looked at the rapeseed fields in front of him. The rapeseed fields were green and the rapeseed beds and rows were covered with a thin layer of straw. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are they covered with straw?"
"It's cold in the mountains, and covering with straw can prevent freezing." Yike explained.
"Are those people weeding in the rapeseed field?" Wang Guoqing asked again, because it looked to him like those people were not weeding, but rather digging a ditch.
"No, the grass in the rapeseed fields was removed before winter came, so they should be deepening the ditches. Wouldn't moisture damage affect the yield of rapeseed? So now we have to deepen and dredge these ditches, connect the horizontal and vertical ditches with the ditch heads, and ensure smooth drainage. This will ensure that continuous rainy days in the spring will not cause moisture damage." Yi Ke explained in detail.
"Didn't you dig ditches when planting rapeseed?" Wang Guoqing asked puzzledly.
"Yes, we are just deepening it now." Yi Ke added, "The outer and inner ditches have been dug."
Wang Guoqing was silent for a while, then said to Yi Ke, "Ziyi's wife, I'll go downstairs and take a look."
"Okay," Yike asked the uncle driving the ox cart to stop, and everyone got off and walked. The little wolf who had been running along with the ox cart saw Yike get off, so he ran over and rubbed against Yike's legs.
"Haha, little thing, you run really fast." Yike praised while touching the wolf's head.
The little wolf probably understood what Yi Ke said, and started wagging its tail. Unfortunately, its tail was rather stiff, and not as flexible as a dog's tail, so it started wagging its tail in a weird shape. "Sister Yike, are you really going to keep this little wolf in the village? Aren't you afraid that it will become wild and hurt people when it grows up?" Ma Youcai was a little scared and stood far away from the little wolf.
"We'll talk about it when the time comes. Go buy me some hunting dogs outside. With the hunting dogs, I can release the little wolf back to the forest. But I have to wait until it grows up a bit. If it's still this small, it won't be able to hunt and will starve to death if I let it back." Yi Ke still couldn't bear to part with the little wolf. For the time being, he couldn't see the wolf nature of the little wolf. He just didn't know what it would be like when it grew up.
"No problem, I will help keep an eye out, and if I find one, I will buy it back." Ma Youcai said seriously. He really didn't want to see wolf cubs every time he came in. He knew that there were several wolf cubs in the village.
Wang Guoqing got off the ox cart and carefully observed the ditches in the rapeseed field. He also measured the depth and width of the ditches with his hands. Then he said to himself, "This ditch is so wide, isn't it a waste of land? And the rapeseed is so far apart. It looks like the rapeseed is growing well, but the distance between them is too far, which is a waste of land."
Ma Youcai disagreed with Wang Guoqing's statement. He went over and said, "Uncle Wang, you are wrong. Last year, we harvested about 300 kilograms of rapeseed per mu of land. The yield is only more than that of other villages."
Wang Guoqing stood up suddenly, excitedly grabbed Ma Youcai's hand, and asked anxiously: "Are you serious? One acre of land weighs 300 kilograms?"
"Yes, I came in to harvest it myself." Ma Youcai took a step back, putting some distance between himself and Wang Guoqing.
