Time Travel: Volume 1! Starting from a Small Mountain Village

"Alright, who said I don't consider you a good sister? Stop crying. Coming to my yard to cry so early in the morning, people will think I've done something to you." Long Lifan comforted her for a few moments. Hearing the second half of Long Lifan's sentence, Hu Lili instantly understood what was going on, stopped sobbing, and her pretty face turned red.

"Pfft"

The two women stared at each other for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter in unison.

"Hahaha"

"Hahaha"

Sister Fan stopped going to gather pig feed, and she and Jiang Nian'an also felt it was pointless, so they stopped telling stories. However, Jiang Nian'an still taught the children to read, but since there were no more stories to hear, fewer children went.

After having breakfast, Long Lifan went to the chicken farm, where there were hundreds of chicks and two pigs waiting for her to take care of them! These things were still small and fragile, so she had to be careful. If anything went wrong, it would be a disaster.

Meanwhile, the brigade headquarters

Miao Dashan convened a meeting of the village cadres. In addition to the three of them, the four team leaders were also present. Miao Dashan recounted what he had seen and heard the day before to everyone, leaving them all astonished.

Secretary Miao nodded slightly. He did have a boastful tone in his words, but there was an even more important meaning behind them. So he said with a serious expression, "I'm not saying all this to show off. I'm stating a fact. That is, Long Zhiqing is a capable person. Otherwise, why would the machinery factory and the agricultural trade station be so eager to hire her?"

“But Long Zhiqing refused without hesitation. Why did she refuse? It was all for the better development of our Dongwan Brigade. So I hereby declare that we should unconditionally support any plans or suggestions that Long Zhiqing put forward in the future concerning the Dongwan Brigade.”

"In addition, when we need to discuss important matters in the future, we will need to ask the Long educated youth to come over and give us their advice."

"I agree!" Lin Guodong was the first to raise his hand. He had long admired Long Zhiqing's abilities. What surprised him was that Miao Dashan's attitude had changed so much after just one trip to the county town with Long Zhiqing.

Just over ten days ago, the two had a heated argument in front of everyone over developing a side business.

“I have no objection either!” After a moment’s thought, Zhou Huiji agreed. Now that even the brigade leader and Party Secretary Miao agreed to the proposal, it would seem unwise for him to disagree.

As for the four squad leaders, all three leaders of the Dongwan Brigade had agreed, so how could they possibly raise any objections? Moreover, when they listened to Secretary Miao recount the events, they were all so excited that they wished they could witness it with their own eyes.

The chicks are too small, and there's a risk of germs being introduced by people moving around. Therefore, to minimize contact with outsiders, no one except the three of them who are responsible for raising the chickens is allowed to enter the chicken farm. They handle the chicken manure themselves and place it outside the farm, where it will be transported away by a designated person and added to the fermentation tank later.

Of course, to help the chicks adapt to their environment, they also let them out intermittently for a period of time each day. The advantage of this is that the chicks have greater freedom; they can walk around, forage for food, and enjoy the sunshine, fresh air, and the beauty of nature. This environment allows the chickens to grow up healthier and happier, while also reducing feed costs.

This is also why she had the fence built. Not only that, but the chickens can disperse and move around in the outdoor area, which can effectively prevent the spread of diseases, thereby reducing the incidence of disease in chickens, reducing the number of times medication is needed, and improving the survival rate of chicks.

"Long Zhiqing!"

From the start of the manure processing, Qi Shishen took over the transportation task. Every day, he would come to deliver the manure they processed from inside the chicken farm to the fermentation tank.

Ever since she refused her mother's offer to meet him, the image of this little girl has been constantly on her mind, and she even dreams about Long Zhiqing at night.

But he wasn't familiar with Long Zhiqing. One worked in the fields, and the other usually went up the mountain to gather pig feed; it was rare for them to see each other. So when he learned that Long Zhiqing was managing the chicken farm, he took the initiative to accept the task, at least he would be able to see Long Zhiqing.

Gazing at that petite figure, Qi Shishen's face flushed slightly, though it wasn't very noticeable due to his dark skin. He tried his best to control his emotions and greeted Long Lifan with a smile.

"Hmm!" Long Lifan nodded slightly. After all, Qi Shishen had helped her at the commune last time, so her attitude was much better than before.

How has Fangfang been lately?

During this time, Long Lifan was at the chicken farm, and she hadn't seen Qi Fangfang for several days. So she asked.

"Fortunately, she is currently learning to read with Jiang Zhiqing and the others, and she is making great progress."

Qi Shishen felt a little disappointed when he saw that Long Zhiqing was only asking about his sister, but he still spoke gently.

When I returned to the courtyard at noon, I saw a group of people gathered outside my door. I was a little confused, so I quickened my pace and walked over.

"What's the matter?"

Looking at the things lying at her doorstep, Long Lifan frowned slightly and asked.

"Sister Fan..."

Hu Lili stepped forward hesitantly, her face somewhat pale. She stammered, unsure how to begin.

It turned out that when Hu Lili and her friends were hunting pigs on the mountain today, they heard some commotion among the villagers. As a gossip-loving villager, Hu Lili ran as fast as she could. When she got there, she found that it was a stray dog ​​that had come from somewhere and was being chased by the villagers. However, instead of running around, the dog stopped in a bush.

There were three puppies in the bushes. The wild dog lay down on the ground, exposing its belly. There were marks on its head from what the commune members had used to hit it. The flowing blood had stained its head red. It made whimpering sounds, but its body did not move an inch, letting the puppies on the ground suckle its mother's milk.

Upon seeing this, the commune member wanted to kill it, shouting that the dog had run into his kitchen and stolen the food they had left there. Hu Lili couldn't bear it, so she gave the commune member a dollar and saved the dog.

Hu Lili has compassion, but she's also afraid of dogs; she's a typical example of someone who's both incompetent and loves to play.

So, she had someone else bring the puppies back, but she was really afraid of dogs, so she left them in front of Sister Fan's door.

After hearing this, Long Lifan didn't know what to say for a moment. Dongwan Brigade didn't have any dogs. After all, people couldn't even feed themselves, so how could they have the time to raise dogs?

So this must be a stray dog, and she felt a little uneasy about suddenly raising one. But seeing this dog risking its life to go back and nurse its puppies, she realized that its maternal love was something many people couldn't match. She could tell that if the dog's head injury wasn't treated soon, it probably wouldn't live much longer. But leaving them to fend for themselves was also painful. She was caught in a dilemma.

"Sister Fan, let the dog stay with you. Don't worry, I'll provide all its food from now on," Hu Lili said quickly, thinking that Sister Fan was worried about the food.

"call"

Long Lifan took a deep breath. Did she care about the food? She was worried about whether the stray dogs might carry germs. Looking into Hu Lili's red eyes, which held a hint of pleading, and hearing the dog's whimpering, Long Lifan finally softened.

"Alright, let them stay with me!"

"Really, Sister Fan, I knew you were the best." Hu Lili said with a smile, and didn't forget to give Long Lifan a hug.
