Traveling back to 1977

Chapter 321 I Like You
The car crossed rivers and climbed hills, and after two hours, it finally returned to Nanhu Commune.

After crossing the river, instead of heading towards the town, they walked directly along the dike towards Lujiawan.

After driving for only ten minutes, we arrived at the territory of Team 6 of Lujiawan, and could see the village on the small earthen slope in the distance.

After driving a little further, a large group of people suddenly poured out of the educated youth compound and ran quickly towards the embankment.

The driver couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine when he saw it.

What are they trying to do?

Before he could speak, Zhang Wenliang, who was sitting next to him, excitedly pointed ahead and said, "We're here, Master! This is it. Just move forward a little bit and stop in the courtyard where those people came out."

The driver chuckled dryly twice, drove a little further, and said, "Are these all here to welcome you?"

Zhang Wenliang laughed and said, "Yes, I called the team yesterday and told them to arrive around this time. They're all waiting here."

The car quickly came to a stop, and everyone got out.

Those who ran over also made it onto the levee.

Chen Fan rubbed Gun Gun's head, jumped out of the car, and was surprised to see Secretary Yang, Captain Zhang, Xiao Liewen, Ye Shubao, and An Quan all there. "Secretary, Captain, Brother An, why are you all here?"

Even they came, not to mention the people from Team 6, including Captain Yang and his two leaders; almost all the able-bodied men were here.

In addition, there were other teams of able-bodied men, many of whom I had seen during the last house-building session.

Moreover, at this moment, figures emerged from the woods on the small hill where the village was located and quickly moved towards the embankment.

Those who were left at home, the elderly, women and children, all came over to watch the excitement.

Secretary Yang chuckled and was about to speak when he suddenly saw a bear stand up in the car. He was so startled that he took two steps back. "Oh dear, where did this bear come from?"

Anquan quickly leaned closer, glaring at him, and asked, "Where did you get this panda from?"

Captain Zhang glanced at Zhang Juemin, who had jumped off the truck bed, and his eyelids twitched. "Tiger, you didn't mention yesterday that there was a bear too."

The others who were about to help move the things were also stunned, staring at the panda in the cage with surprise in their eyes.

Zhang Juemin stomped his slightly numb feet and said, "They weren't here yesterday. How so? Teacher Chen just bought them on the way back."

Chen Fan grabbed the panda's arm and pulled it down so it wouldn't stand up, then chuckled and said, "This is a trained animal kept by a street performer in Sichuan. It just happened to give birth today, with two little cubs. The street performer didn't know what to do with them, so I simply bought the mother and cubs together."

Secretary Yang wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw that the driver had also gotten out of the car, he quickly took out a cigarette and went over to offer him some.

Captain Zhang then called for people to prepare to move the goods.

Several burly men walked to the back of the car, looked at the panda in the cage, and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

Someone whispered to Chen Fan, "Teacher Chen, it won't scratch people, will it?"

The gaps in the cage are quite large, just enough for a panda's paw to stick out. If a panda gets scratched, it's the least of its worries; it could even break bones.

No matter how cute a panda is, it's still a bear.

Chen Fan waved his hand, "You don't need to carry this. Put it down and it will walk by itself."

The people around were startled. Should they let the bear walk on its own?
Although it looks good, it's still a bear!

Just as Captain Zhang was about to stop him, Chen Fan opened the cage door, and the panda immediately bleated and pounced on Chen Fan in an adorable manner.

Chen Fan scooped up Gun Gun in his arms, turned around and put him on the ground. "Don't you know how heavy you are? You still want to hug me? You should be hugging your baby."

He then picked up the two red pandas still in the cage, supporting them with one hand and pulling on their ears with the other, and led them down the stairs amidst the stunned gazes of the crowd.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the giant panda waddle along, its head tilted to the side and not daring to move.

A young man exclaimed in amazement, "Wow, this bear is so docile! I thought it would be fierce."

A woman who had come over laughed, "She's so obedient. With her ear being pulled, she didn't even dare to move her head and just followed along obediently."

At this moment, a middle-aged man said arrogantly, "Hmph, you think it's docile? Let me tell you, this is a panda, also called a black and white bear. It's very fierce. In the mountains, even wild boars can't beat it!"

Someone nearby immediately questioned, "Are you kidding me? This well-behaved cat can fight off a wild boar?"

The man raised his head arrogantly, "Don't scare you, you won't make any money. I heard it from Master Peng in our team. You know Master Peng? He used to be a hunter in the provincial hunting team. Even Teacher Chen learned archery from him. He told us about it, blah blah blah..."

"Then why are you being so well-behaved?"

Someone nearby immediately said, "Is that even a question? They must have been tamed by Teacher Chen. Look at all those animals in Teacher Chen's yard, whether they're snakes or horses, they all obey him obediently..."

As they talked, they unloaded the goods from the truck bed, some lifting and some carrying them, and walked all the way to the educated youth settlement.

The driver was also amazed. He only knew that Chen Fan was a barefoot doctor, but he didn't expect him to be a veterinarian who was particularly good at dealing with animals. He had really opened his eyes today.

Accompanied by Secretary Yang and others, they then walked down the slope.

Chen Fan led Gun Gun back to the educated youth settlement compound by the ear. Seeing the familiar courtyard, he felt inexplicably at ease.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, Huang Ying, Yang Ju, and Liu Dan rushed over excitedly, "Teacher Chen!"

Jiang Lili happily ran after her.

Inside the courtyard, Liu Jujiang and several women were preparing a banquet. When they saw Chen Fan, they all greeted him loudly with smiles.

Huang Ying and the others rushed up to Chen Fan before they could see the panda he was holding.

Liu Dan's first reaction was to be startled, and she even screamed "Ah!"

But the next second, the girls' eyes lit up, and they circled around the panda. At this moment, Duoduo and Qiuqiu also ran over, toddling over on their short legs. Sometimes they would run to Chen Fan's feet and wag their tails, and sometimes they would cautiously glance at the panda and bark a few times.

The mare and foal also ran out one after the other, trotting over to Chen Fan's side, nudging each other with their heads, then looking at the giant panda curiously and snorting a few times.

The girls' eyes sparkled, and Huang Ying, holding her hands to her chest, exclaimed, "Wow, a giant panda?!"

Yang Ju also came to her senses and said happily, "I've seen it in a book. So this is what giant pandas look like. They're so cute."

Liu Dan stretched out both hands, looking like she wanted to touch it but was too afraid to. "Teacher Chen, can I touch this?"

Jiang Lili stood behind them, her eyes also full of curiosity.

Chen Fan released his grip on the ear, hugged the chubby head, and laughed, "Others can't, but you can, but you can only touch it once."

The four girls instantly became excited and carefully placed their hands on the panda.

Rolling around with its big, dark eyes, it looked at the four girls, then at Chen Fan, and hummed in response, "Hmm? (What are they doing?)"

Chen Fan rubbed his big head, "Meow. (I like you)"

The four girls only touched it once before pulling their hands back. Huang Ying asked curiously, "Teacher Chen, does it have a name?"

A woman in the courtyard shouted, "Wait until Teacher Chen goes inside before you talk. What are you still doing standing at the door?"

The four girls blushed immediately. Huang Ying reached for Chen Fan's backpack, while Yang Ju went to pick up the water bottle.

Chen Fan quickly shook his head and said, "No need, no need, I still have things in my hands, let's go into the room first."

Only then did they notice the two little pandas that Chen Fan was holding to his chest.

Why is Teacher Chen holding two mice?

Just as they were about to ask a question out of curiosity, they quickly held back and crowded around Chen Fan as they walked towards the room.

Back in his room, Chen Fan glanced around and, sure enough, it looked exactly the same as if he had never left.

The whole room was spotless, the only difference being that a mosquito net had been put up on my bed.

It's already early April in the lunar calendar, and mosquitoes are starting to appear. Without a mosquito net, it's hard to sleep well at night.

He had just entered the house when the moving crew came into the yard. "Teacher Chen, where should we put all these things?"

Chen Fan immediately called out, "Wait a moment."

Then she picked up Gun Gun and placed it on the bamboo bed opposite her, then put its two babies in its arms and carefully instructed, "Sit still and don't move."

Gun Gun barked twice and stared longingly at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan patted his head. "Okay, I'll be back after I finish my work."

Gun Gun reluctantly sat on the bed with the baby in her arms, whimpering.

After successfully reaching an agreement, Chen Fan gave it another pat on the head, feeling satisfied.

He then put all his belongings on the table and said to Jiang Lili and the others, "Help me tidy up, I'll go arrange my things."

After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and went out.

Four girls stood in front of Gun Gun, looking at him curiously.

Liu Dan: "These two things that look like mice, could they be panda cubs?"

The oriole, "looks somewhat like one, but it's so small."

Yang Ju said, "I didn't expect the panda cubs to be so small. If I told others, they definitely wouldn't believe me."

Jiang Lili blinked, reluctantly looked away, and picked up Chen Fan's large backpack to start packing.

Huang Ying and the other two quickly came over, tidying up their things while looking at Gun Gun sitting obediently on the bamboo bed.

Gun Gun stared blankly at the bamboo bed beneath its bottom, then wiggled its bottom and creaked.

After a while, it looked at the four girls who were slowly and busily working, and when it met their gaze, it immediately dared not move again.

A few seconds later, it couldn't resist any longer. Curious, it stretched out its paw, gripped the gap in the bamboo bed, and then pulled...

Click!

Jiang Lili and the other three quickly looked at the giant panda, only to see it tear off a piece of bamboo from the bamboo bed and put it in its mouth to chew.

The four girls were immediately stunned.

Gun Gun chewed twice, then spat it out in disgust, before sitting obediently with the two babies in his arms, as if nothing had happened.

The next second, she suddenly tilted her body to the side, stretched comfortably, rolled over, placed the two babies on her belly, and fell asleep.

……

There was a bug earlier that I hadn't noticed before, but I suddenly remembered it.

Although the regional "administrative office" was equivalent to a later prefecture-level city government, it was not an independent agency, but rather an agency dispatched by the provincial government to manage the region. Therefore, the various units under the office's leadership were not "bureaus," but rather "departments" of a dispatched nature. For example, the public security department and the health department. The preceding text has been completely revised.

Furthermore, the head of the commissioner's office was not the later mayor, but a "commissioner".
