Chapter 521 Lao Zhu’s request for help
“Well, we actually can’t give an accurate time for this, but in two or three months we will definitely be able to see everyone’s favorite sika deer here.”
As for when the deer park will be built, Zhang Jianjun really can’t set an exact date.
Because this Luyuan is not building a residential building, this is their first time doing it, and many places are their first attempts.
If it is a residential building, as long as the owner tells them how big the building needs to be, they will You can roughly estimate an accurate time.
And another point is that the deer park has been built, and it will take some time to bring the deer in. Zhang Jianwen has to make the decision.
That’s why Zhang Jianjun said that a relatively conservative time of two or three months should be enough no matter what.
“That’s not too slow. Anyway, I have to wait until the summer vacation before I can bring my children here.”
Most people don’t think it takes a long time because they basically want to bring their children. come over.
The children are about to start school, and when they have time next time, they will have to wait until July for summer vacation.
It doesn't matter to people who are a little closer to each other. Anyway, Changqing Village is not far apart. We will come back when it is built.
Especially if you live in the county town, it only takes half an hour by train, and you can come anytime on weekends.
In the days that followed, everyone in the village was already busy.
Zhang Jianjun and his group have been leading people to build the deer park. They have not rested for a day.
Even if it rains, they have not stopped, because even if it rains during the first month, The rain is just a drizzle, not heavy at all, and does not affect the work.
While others should be setting up stalls in the village and working in the fields.
Especially those who grow kiwis at home, they start sending manure to their orchards just after the Chinese New Year in preparation for fertilizing the kiwis.
After all, there was such a serious natural disaster last year and the food harvest was all gone. As a result, the kiwi fruit, which everyone had no hope for, gave everyone a surprise. The harvest was quite good, much better than the crops harvested in previous years. So everyone saw hope in this orchard and was full of motivation.
So just after the New Year this year, everyone immediately sent manure to the orchard to entertain these money trees.
After all, it was like that last year, and the kiwi fruit harvest was still so good. If the weather is smooth this year, wouldn't the harvest be even more impressive?
People in the village are good at everything, but sometimes they are a little bit competitive and want to compare everything with others.
Especially in the field of farming, if whose land is the best in the village, they will definitely be very proud.
This was the case with the Zhang An family in the past. Although Zhang An is no longer in this realm, Zhang Jian and Wang Fang are still the same as everyone else.
There are many families growing kiwi fruit in the village, so this also allows them to secretly compare themselves.
Some people originally planned to fertilize their orchards later, but when they saw that other people's homes were already moving, they couldn't sit still.
As a result, one family after another began to deliver fertilizer to the orchards. At first, only three or five families were doing it, but in the end, everyone was busy.
Some people not only use the farmyard fertilizer that has been soaked in their own rolls, but also go to the town to buy suitable compound fertilizer.
There were even more outrageous people who came to Zhang An’s house and said they wanted to spend money to buy their sheep dung and deer dung.
Zhang An was stunned. Who could have imagined that these people in the village were actually a group of scroll kings.
But in the end, Zhang An did not sell the dung of the animals at home, because the sheep dung and deer dung saved by his family were not very much, and there were many people who came to him.
If you give it to one family, you will offend that family. If they are all divided, one family will only be able to get a few dozen kilograms.
These ten kilograms of fertilizer are not even a load, so I can't do anything.
So Zhang An made an excuse, saying that the fat he saved was not enough for his family, so he refused them all.
So the families who wanted to buy fertilizer returned home in frustration. After all, Zhang An was right. Their family had dozens of acres of orchards waiting to be used.
Soon, February is over, and March is rushing to take over.
This year the school in the village did not start on March 1st as in previous years, but set the start date on March 3rd.
Because March 2nd is the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, it is natural that school will not start until after the Lantern Festival.
After all, there are only junior high schools and elementary schools in the village. They are not as busy as high schools in the rush to start school.
As soon as the Lantern Festival was over, Su Ying went to school, and only Zhang An was at home with her son.
Wake up in the morning, Wang Fang has already loosened the vacated land in the vegetable garden.
Now that this year is over and spring has arrived, it’s time to start planting melons and vegetables.
Other families in the village may not be so anxious, because they still have vegetables grown last winter in their vegetable fields and can still eat them for a while.
For those who plant a lot, they have to cut it back to feed the pigs if they can’t finish it, because they have to rush to plant spring vegetables in March and April.
But Zhang An's family is different. Although their vegetable garden is large enough, one garden is equivalent to two or three of other people's gardens, the vegetables they grow are not superfluous at all, let alone feeding the pigs.
After all, so many teachers in the school and tenants in Dongli Courtyard often come to their house to buy vegetables. If Wang Fang grows slower, those people will not be able to catch up with the fresh vegetables to eat.
Sometimes Zhang An wants to persuade his mother to do less of these things. After all, the family does not lack the money to sell vegetables.
But these words just ran around in Zhang An's mind and did not come out.
Because Zhang An suddenly thought that her mother had such a restless temper, otherwise she would have to take back the land at home and grow it herself.
Rather than do this, let her continue growing vegetables at home.
"Xiao An, have you seen the chili rice I peeled off last year? I remember putting it in the side room, but why can't I find it?"
After Wang Fang finished digging the vegetable field, she went into the utility room at home to look for seeds.
Melon seeds, bean seeds and vegetable seeds were found, but pepper seeds were never found.
So Wang Fang asked Zhang An, who was holding little Siqi, because apart from Wang Fang himself, it was Zhang An who often entered this small room.
"Chili rice, Mom, wait for me to think about it. I remember it. Come on, Mom, hold Qiqi while I go find it for you."
Zhang An pretended to think for a while. After a while, he said that he remembered, and after giving the little Siqi to his mother, he rummaged in the utility room.
In the past, the pepper rice planted by Wang Fang was indeed put in here, but it is no longer there.
The culprit was Zhang An. Before that, he had taken the pepper rice planted by Wang Fang into the space.
Because Zhang An’s chili peppers were grown in his space and left behind, that’s why Zhang An’s chili peppers are so delicious.
It’s just that I have been planting them for the past few years, so the peppers I grow are getting worse every year.
Ordinary people may not feel any obvious changes, but a person like Zhang An, who is both spicy and unhappy, can clearly feel it. After all, his mouth has been fed by space. So some time ago, he saw the pepper rice that Wang Fang had placed in the utility room, so he moved them into the space and planted them again. In this way, after planting two crops, the quality of the peppers could return to its previous taste.
Originally, Zhang An planned to start collecting pepper rice after planting two crops.
It’s just that Zhang An had forgotten about this because he had been celebrating the New Year.
Now that Wang Fang asked about it, Zhang An quickly got the seeds out of the space.
But he was careful this time and got some more seeds and placed them in the wooden house in the space.
This way you won’t have to worry about taking it out later.
"Here, here, I guess I lost it in a corner when I was looking for something."
Zhang An gave the pepper rice to his mother to look at, and poured it out. In a small basin, I scooped some space spring water from the tank and soaked it.
In fact, whether it is melon seeds, bean seeds or this pepper rice, there is no need to soak them for germination when planting.
Only Wang Fang did this once before, and later found that the peppers grown at home were much more delicious than those in previous years, and many people came to buy them.
Wang Fang couldn't figure out why there was such a big difference between the same chili rice, so she could only blame it on the fact that she had soaked the chili rice in water before planting it, so she had to soak it in water every year for whatever vegetables she planted.
After Wang Fang saw the pepper rice, she no longer looked for it in a hurry and hugged her grandson peacefully.
Because these vegetable seeds have just been soaked in water, they have to wait until the sun is less intense in the afternoon before they can be sown on the ground.
Zhang An looked at the time. It was already past ten in the morning, and it was time to make lunch.
Actually, it’s okay to be a little late at home, but Su Ying has classes in the afternoon and takes a nap at noon, so lunch must not be made too late.
At this moment, Wang Fang was holding little Siqi under the grape arbor with no intention of getting up. Zhang An could only walk into the kitchen to prepare lunch.
He used to cook a lot, but in the past two years with Wang Fang at home, he has become lazier and lazier.
In the afternoon, Zhang An's cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Zhu Yuliang calling.
"Zhang An, are you free now?"
Zhu Yuliang did not call to talk to Zhang An for a long time like before, but asked directly.
"Nothing happened recently, what's wrong, Lao Zhu?"
As soon as he heard Zhu Yuliang ask this, and the tone on the phone was a bit serious, Zhang An, who had originally planned to joke with Lao Zhu, also became serious.
Because when Zhu Yuliang chatted with him, it meant that he had nothing to do.
But in this situation, I am afraid that there is something urgent to do with me.
“It’s like this. Recently, our brother’s unit next door arrested a poaching gang in the mountains and rescued two adult leopards. It’s just that the gang was too cruel. Now these two leopards have suffered a lot. It's a very serious injury. Our county's veterinary station is having trouble handling it right now. If you have time, come over and help."
Zhu Yuliang paused for a while to collect his thoughts. Talk to Zhang An about this.
Poaching gangs are the task of the public security comrades, but the wild animals and plants involved are within the scope of the Forestry Bureau's purview, so after discovering the two leopards captured by the poaching gang, they handed them over.
Actually, this incident happened two days ago. After Zhu Yuliang and the others discovered that the two leopards were seriously injured, they immediately sent them to the county veterinary station.
It took the staff of the veterinary station nearly two days, but they still could not stop the injuries of the two leopards, and instead they became more serious.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhu Yuliang thought of Zhang An, so he called immediately and wanted to give it a try no matter what.
"I can do either. Do you think I should go directly now or tomorrow morning?"
Zhang An agreed directly without thinking.
The relationship between the two is irreversible. Now that Zhu Yuliang has spoken, Zhang An will definitely not refuse.
And Zhu Yuliang had already told Zhang An when he recruited Zhang An to join the group.
Now that so much time has passed, this is the first time Zhu Yuliang has spoken to Zhang An, so even if something happens, as long as it is not something special, Zhang An has to go and take a look.
"If it's convenient for you, come over today."
Zhu Yuliang was not polite this time and immediately told Zhang An to go over now.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang An went to the backyard and found Wang Fang who was still scattering rapeseeds.
"Mom, Lao Zhu has something to do with me. I have to go to the Forestry Bureau now. You can take Siqi with you first. I may not be back at night."
Zhang An hugged me He handed over his son to his mother. He did not directly tell Wang Fang that he wanted to go over and treat the two leopards.
Because ferocious beasts such as leopards, green wolves and wild boars have always been notorious in the mountains, they are very dangerous in Wang Fang's opinion.
If she found out, she would definitely not be willing to let Zhang An go.
"You're not coming back tonight? Why do you have to go so long? Do you want to follow them into the mountains?"
When Wang Fang heard that Zhu Yuliang had something to do with Zhang An, he asked Zhang An When An went to the Forestry Bureau, he knew that there must be a task for Zhang An.
Originally, she wanted to ask Zhang An to go quickly. After all, her son had been in the Forestry Bureau for so long, but he still often stayed at home and rarely went to the Forestry Bureau.
Unlike Zhang Ping, who had to report on work from time to time or receive training for a few days, so she was worried that her son would lose the job he picked up for free.
But as soon as Zhang An said he wouldn't be back at night, she immediately thought that Zhang An was going to follow people from the Forestry Bureau into the mountains, and she immediately became worried again.
"Mom, don't worry, Lao Zhu told me that this time we are in the city, we don't have to go into the mountains, we are just going to rescue a few animals that have been injured."
Sensing his mother's worry, Zhang An quickly spoke to comfort her.
“Oh, that’s right, then go ahead and drive slower.”
Wang Fang immediately stopped worrying when he heard that he didn't have to go into the mountains and was just in the city.
Zhang An said she was going to rescue two animals. She only thought they were animals like her deer and didn’t think about anything else at all.
“Yeah, I understand.”
Then Zhang An reached over and kissed his son.
"Dad will be back tomorrow. Son, please listen to grandma and mother at home and don't make any noise."
In the past two days, Zhang An was willing to watch TV with little Siqi in his arms, so The tense father-son relationship has been effectively alleviated.
