Gu Zhaocheng stayed in the forest for half a month, except that he got what he wanted and found the deer.
In fact, I have completed more than half of the month's work, and three-quarters of the task of patrolling the mountains and forests twenty days a month.
In the remaining time of April, Gu Zhaocheng actually doesn’t have to go to work much.
If there is nothing abnormal about the weather, he can go to the woods occasionally to take a look. Gu Zhaocheng will be responsible and perform his work conscientiously.
"Zhaocheng, why did it take you so long to enter the forest this time? If you hadn't come back with news every now and then, I would have asked your father to take people into the mountains to find you."
After returning home, the first thing I received was the worries and complaints about the flowers.
Not going home for half a month is somewhat excessive.
Although Gu Zhaocheng didn't go deep into the mountains for half a month.
With the ranger's house as the center, we searched in all directions for half a month.
You can see other forestry workers who enter the mountain, helping Gu Zhaocheng bring peace to his family.
But I haven't seen anyone for half a month, so I still can't accept the flowers.
Even if Gu Changshan had the experience of going into the forest to cut wood, he would not go home for a long time.
At least a group of people went to work in the mountains, and Gu Zhaocheng acted alone.
The level of risk is still different.
"Mom, before I left, didn't I tell you that I was going to help the deer and find their group. This time the situation is special. I will never go into the mountains and not come back for such a long time."
Gu Zhaocheng felt that he was having a good time in the forest, and the daily arrangements for him were quite fulfilling.
When I have a goal, I don’t feel like time passes so fast.
There are some things that have been neglected at home.
It was Gu Zhaocheng who understood that it was safe for him to enter the forest, but for others, even if the forest was bald, it was not completely without danger.
"It's good that you know. Once you leave, you won't see anyone for half a month. Your dad doesn't do this even when he's at work." Cunhua was actually not a stern old lady, so she let it out after nagging a few words.
In terms of emotional control, she is actually very good and will not cause any trouble to the men and children in the family. Compared with women in forest farms like Ma Xiaoyun and Huang Xiaoping, it is much more difficult to save flowers.
If it were anyone else, the family would already be in a very difficult situation, and if they had to pick up the children one by one, their life would have been unbearable.
After Cunhua's emotions were expressed, he started to ask more serious questions:
"Have you found the deer after working for so long?"
"I found it. It's on the sixth logging road, a few kilometers further in." Gu Zhaocheng took out the processed velvet antlers, somewhat wanting to claim credit:
"Mom, do you see what I brought back?"
This can also be considered as diverting the attention of the flower.
"Is this deer antler?"
After all, she is a woman who has lived in the mountains for many years. Even if her family does not have these things, Cunhua has seen these things.
Even if it had been cut into pieces by Gu Zhaocheng and was ready to be soaked in wine, Cunhua could recognize it.
"Yes, I have cut five pairs in total and brought them back. Tomorrow, I will buy some good wine and come back. I will make two jars of them and give them to my dad."
Gu Zhaocheng would do well to remember Gu Changshan.
Apart from selling such a rare thing for money, the first thing that comes to mind is Gu Changshan.
Although a man in his forties looks very strong, there is nothing he needs to make up for.
Even for people who are in good health and have been doing physical labor, it is also good to replenish their muscles and bones.
"Zhaocheng, you are a forest ranger. Once you enter the forest, you can't just watch and poach. You were supposed to catch poachers and then go poach on your own."
"No, am I that bold? I harvested the antlers after anesthetizing the deer. The deer is still fine."
"It's okay if you don't have it. You can't do anything illegal."
Gu Zhaocheng is an "honest person" and still has some credibility.
After the explanation, Cunhua believed Gu Zhaocheng at least 70%.
This was enough. What Cun Hua was worried about was not the animals, but Gu Zhaocheng.
Living here, there is no room for much sympathy for small animals.
In the past two years, the forest has become bald and few animals have come down the mountain.
In the past, wild boars came down to eat corn, and weasels and foxes came down to steal chickens and ducks.
It's a very common thing.
"If anyone doesn't believe it, I can take them to see the herd of deer."
It would be easier if there was a camera. Gu Zhaocheng could take photos to prove his innocence.
It's just that the old Gu family doesn't have this condition yet.
Otherwise, Gu Zhaocheng could take some photos of rare plants and animals and submit them to magazines to earn some extra money.
"Okay, just put these things away. Your dad doesn't have to make up for them. These things are quite expensive. Save the money from selling them and save them for you to get a wife for you."
"It's right to save money, and it's also necessary to make up for my dad. After two months, I'll cut another round of deer antlers, and we can consider building three large tile-roofed houses."
After you have money, you don't have to worry about other things, but building a house is still very urgent.
Sleeping on a big kang is quite comfortable, but it would be more comfortable if one person sleeps on a big kang.
Because of this, Gu Zhaocheng did not continue to resist the idea of getting married.
There must always be a reason to build a house and move out.
As long as Cunhua is not a random person, I will recommend Liang Fengxia to Gu Zhaocheng.
"If you want to get married, you really should think about it. You can discuss this matter together after your father comes back."
"Then when my dad comes back, the wood needs to be finalized first."
The wood needs to be dried. You can't just go to the forest and cut a piece of wood if you want to use it, then drag it home and use it directly.
And although the forest farm feels like your own home, it belongs to the country after all, and you can't just treat it like your own home.
If used occasionally, workers can take home unused wood.
However, when building such a large house, especially if you need large wood for beams, you still need to purchase it from the forest farm.
Of course, when forestry workers buy wood, the price is not that high.
The cost of building a tiled house here is still much lower.
"Then when my dad comes back, I will tell him that after this wave of seedlings are planted and the forest farm is no longer busy, we can consider starting to build a house."
Building a tile house does not require a professional construction team.
At most, just hire two experienced masters.
The other thing is to ask neighbors like the forest farm for help.
Therefore, if you want to build a house, you still need to find a forest farm employee’s free time.
Although many people have been laid off from the forest farms, there are still many idle people in the villages.
But these idlers in the forest farm have no good relationship with the Gu family.
It is better to hire these employees who have stayed in the work team, have jobs, and have a better relationship with the Gu family.
"Okay." Na Cunhua nodded.
"Then I'll go out and help my father with some work."
Gu Zhaocheng came to the courtyard, where Song Liuxi was weaving baskets. It was rare for an old man of this age not to have some skills.
The old age life of a lonely old man is actually quite boring.
Fortunately, the old man has a spiritual sustenance for planting trees.
As many trees as you decide to cut down, you will plant as many seedlings.
With more than 30,000 trees, it is also a huge project.
With a clear goal, the old man will not be distracted and have no worries in his later years.
But planting trees cannot be everything in life.
Usually when he is not going up the mountain, the old man will find something to do for himself.
Weave a basket, tie a broom, and make a sorghum curtain. After all, life in the forest farm is closer to that of the countryside.
When you want to take some time off, you can always find something to do.
"Master, how are you these days?"
Gu Zhaocheng sat down and made baskets with Song Liuxi.
"I'm fine."
Song Liuxi feels that her retirement life is pretty good.
"You don't actually need to do these tasks, and there is no shortage of them at home. If you feel free, you can listen to the radio and take a rest. You will be busy for a while."
If the old man doesn't listen, he won't listen, but he still needs to persuade.
"It's okay. I can still do this bit of work. You've been in the woods for more than ten days and finally got home. You'd better rest more."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. It's just that after I went into the mountains, I kept losing contact with my family. My mother was really worried about me."
"Yes, there is no phone in the woods, so I can't contact you. Your mother has been complaining about you for being gone for so long."
"There is no phone service in the forest, and we can't afford a mobile phone. So we can only use some primitive methods. Master, can you use these pigeons for me to make homing pigeons?"
Gu Zhaocheng also thought about the fact that it would be difficult to contact his family if he entered the forest.
If you don’t want to spend money, Song Liuxi’s pigeons are the most convenient.
There is just a slight risk of being attacked by falcons.
Song Liuxi, who keeps pigeons as pets, doesn't know if she can accept these risks.
The old man has never raised anything in his life, he only raised a few pigeons, and they are still very affectionate.
For a few pigeons, I am busy every day.
"Those pigeons, they are not homing pigeons. You took them far away. I don't know if they can come back."
"Master, don't worry about this. I can train them. As long as they don't encounter any falcons, I guarantee that they can fly back."
Gu Zhaocheng is still confident in this regard.
If you want to use animals to send messages, the safest way is to use an eagle.
There is actually a tradition of training and boiling eagles here.
But it is difficult to catch eagles. Although there are quite a lot of animals above the forest farm, you can see some from time to time when you look up.
But Gu Zhaocheng couldn't get close, so there was no talk of domestication.
And raising these meat-eating animals is stressful.
At this stage, only Song Liuxi's pet pigeon is the most suitable.
"Then give it a try."
After thinking for a few seconds, Song Liuxi finally agreed.
After all, we are still members of the older generation, and we still value people.
I have put a lot of energy and emotion into the pigeons.
I don’t think pigeons are more important than people.
"Then let me take a look at them."
The pigeon nest is under the eaves of Song Liuxi.
You also need to move a ladder to reach it.
Before, Gu Zhaocheng didn't dare to be interested in these gadgets.
I didn’t even touch these gadgets.
After all, just these few pigeons can't lay many eggs.
After saving for a long time, there is not enough to fry one plate.
It is even more impossible to eat squabs. They are pets, not poultry.
Now I am going to catch these pigeons and get acquainted with them.
Next time I go up the mountain, I will prepare to take these pigeons away.
The straight-line distance is only ten or twenty kilometers, which is easy to train for pigeons that can send messages over long distances.
"Brother, you are back."
When it was time for school to end, the two little brothers came back together.
"What time is it? Where did you go to play after school?" It was a little longer than usual, so the two of them must have been delayed outside.
Originally, school was over at 3:30, and it only took ten minutes at most to walk home after school.
It must be abnormal for two people to walk for more than an hour.
This child needs to be supervised at all times. If left alone for a period of time, the old disease will relapse.
"You used to be the only one in Gu Zhaoxi's family who didn't have a home. Now even Ziqiang asked you to take care of him, and you don't know how to go home after school."
Gu Zhaocheng continued to scold Gu Zhaoxi.
"We went to play with Feng Qin."
"What do you mean you are playing with Feng Qin? A good student like me is always anxious to go home and do homework after school. How can he play crazy with you outside?"
In fact, after sending Feng Qin away, Gu Zhaoxi and Feng Qin lost a lot of contact.
Gu Zhaocheng didn't know this when he was at school, but after returning home from school, Zhaoxi rarely saw Fengqin.
On the other hand, Fengju, the third eldest child of the Liang family, is a little girl from the kindergarten who plays wildly with Gu Zhaoxi and a group of boys from the village all day long.
"No, Feng Qin's parents quarrel at home every day. She doesn't want to stay at home, so she wants us to take her to play outside." Gu Zhaoxi said anxiously: "If you don't believe me, ask Fourth Brother if this is the case.
"
"Brother, it's really like this. We were planning to come back." Ziqiang continued.
This child is not lying, the truth should be like this.
In fact, Gu Zhaoxi was not a person who liked to lie. Gu Zhaocheng was habitually surprised.
The current situation is that Feng Qin returned to the Liang family, causing disharmony between the Liang family and the couple.
The couple was already prone to quarreling, but Feng Qin was the trigger.
Liang Fukuan and Ma Xiaoyun had more reasons to quarrel.
When a woman with a big heart and a man who is lying flat and rotten are combined together, this is the result easily.
Another very important point is that poor and humble couples suffer from everything.
After the couple was laid off and their family's income was not enough to cover their expenses, they had to worry about daily expenses for food, rice, oil and salt, and it became difficult to control their moods.
Not all women in the forest farm are those who keep flowers.
Normally, there are more women like Aunt Ma.
"Then forget it for today, you two go back to the house and do your homework. Be careful in the future and don't just play when Feng Qin tells you. If she doesn't want to go home, you can go to Xingjie's house to do your homework together."
Regarding Liang Fengqin's experience, Gu Zhaocheng could only say that this child must learn to adapt.
This couple cannot be called vicious.
Liang Fengxia and Liang Fengju both grew up in the Liang family.
Although he has a bad personality, he has a bad temper, but his nature is quite good, and he is not too crooked.
After the weather warms up, the conditions in the dilapidated houses in Xingjie are not so difficult.
Mainly pay attention to mosquitoes and study there for a while, it won't be a problem.
Then I waited for Xingjie to come back. Another half month passed, and I didn't know how the child's study progress was.
