When we got home, lunch was almost ready, but little girl Yaya hadn't come back yet.

"Isn't Yaya with you?" Cai Yazhi asked.

"No." Zhang Taiping replied, "I have been discussing things at the village chief's house and I just came back from there."

"Then Yaya is nowhere to be seen. She's already had lunch and she's not back yet."

Zhang Taiping put on his raincoat again and said, "I'll go out and look for it."

As a result, Zhang Taiping searched all the places where Yaya might go in the village, but no one was found. Finally, he had no choice but to go to Heizi and Nosewa's house and asked, but no one was found. Not only Yaya was missing, but also ten people were missing.

Several little dolls of different sizes have disappeared.

Zhang Taiping, who had not been seen for so long, was really afraid that something had happened, so he called Xiaojin and Xiaofeng out and asked them to check from the sky.

Not long after, Xiao Jin discovered something unusual and led Zhang Taiping towards the venue where meetings were usually held.

Before he even got close, he saw a puff of smoke coming out of the farm building. Zhang Taiping was shocked. All the tools inside were public tools in the village. If it caught on fire, there would be a lot of damage. He hurriedly speeded up like an arrow.

Rushed over.

Unexpectedly, the door of the venue was ajar, and there were signs of human activity inside. Zhang Taiping's first reaction was that someone was stealing something or trying to set fire to something.

He didn't rush in directly, but listened outside for a while.

"Give this to me..."

"You just ate."

"Give me, give me"

Zhang Taiping frowned outside, then opened the door. The scene inside made people dumbfounded.

There was a fire burning in the open space in the middle of the room, and there were eight or nine little children sitting around it, all with black faces. Zhang Taiping suddenly opened the door and came in, which obviously startled them, and they all turned their heads to look.

He didn't know what to do, and even the three little dolls who were eating stopped what they were doing.

"What are you doing?" Mrs. Zhang asked with a straight face. Setting up a fire in a house is not a small matter, especially for such a group of ignorant little guys. Unpredictable things can easily happen.

Little children, you look at me and I don’t dare to speak, and Yaya and Tiantian don’t dare to speak either. Although Zhang Taiping doesn’t have much airs at ordinary times, when he has a serious face, it scares the children.

"Roasted...roasted red potatoes..." The snot-nosed kid with constant runny nose all day long.

The two and three little dolls opened their hands. Inside were burnt black sweet potatoes and potatoes. Their mouths were all the color of black charcoal. The same was true on Yaya and Tiantian's faces and mouths, like two little flowers.

Like a cat.

Zhang Taiping didn't impose any severe punishment, he just said with a straight face: "You are not allowed to play with fire anymore, you understand?"

The little dolls all nodded eagerly.

"Go back quickly." Zhang Taiping said again.

Everyone stood up and ran outside, leaving Yaya and Tiantian standing there not daring to speak.

Zhang Taiping first extinguished the burning fire, and then doused it with rainwater. The two little girls stood nearby in fear, not daring to breathe.

"How did you get in?" Zhang Taiping asked them.

"The door...the door is open." The two little girls almost cried in grievance.

Although Zhang Taiping felt sorry for the little girl's current condition, he did not say any words of comfort. Instead, he frowned and began to look at the things inside. He thought that the little children could not have the key to the door, since the door was always open.

It's a bit intriguing.

However, after walking around the house, I didn't see anything missing, let alone any signs of moving.

He ran to the door again and took a look. The lock was locked, but the iron chain was broken. Zhang Taiping picked it up and looked at it. It was not man-made, but because it had been exposed to wind and sun for a long time.

The iron chain was already rotten, and it broke with a little force. It might just be an accident.

Zhang Taiping looked around the house again to make sure there were no problems, and then said to the two little girls: "Okay, now do you know what's wrong?"

"I know." The two little girls lowered their heads and whispered.

Zhang Taiping squatted down and looked at the faces of the two little girls. The tears in Yaya's eyes immediately flowed down, and mixed with the black coal on her face, she turned into a complete little cat. Little girl Tiantian

There were tears in his eyes, but they never came out.

After all, Zhang Taiping felt distressed and did not say any harsh words. He closed the door of the venue and said, "Let's go home for dinner." He led the two little girls towards home.

On the way, Yaya finally plucked up the courage and said, "Dad, I was wrong. Can you not let Yaya go?" She swallowed more.

"Dad, I was wrong too." Tiantian's eyes were full of fear, like a frightened deer.

Zhang Taiping stopped and caressed the heads of the two little girls and said: "It's a good thing to correct your mistakes after you know them. Never play with fire again. Last time Heizi and the others played with fire and stomped the straw and set it alight. You still had a fire?"

Remember, if you don't do it right, there will be another fire."

"Yeah." The two little girls nodded quickly.

"Water and fire are the most ruthless. After a fire breaks out, not only things will be burned, but sometimes people may be burned to death. Don't play with fire in the future, and let your father know when you go to the river to play. Do you understand?" Zhang

Taiping warned.

"I understand!" the two little girls responded in unison.

"Just remember. Let's go home and eat." Zhang Taiping said, holding their little dark hands.

Tiantian still asked a little uneasily: "Godfather, have you forgive us?"

Yaya also looked at him expectantly.

Zhang Taiping felt a little funny, but still said solemnly: "I forgive you."

In this way, the two little girls breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and smiles appeared on their faces again.

When we got home, we were all surprised when we saw the painted faces of the two little girls.

Fan Ming was startled and asked: "Ya Ya, who drew the painted face for you? It's so beautiful. Haha."

The two little girls were in a bad mood, so they curled their lips and ignored them.

Cai Yazhi asked in surprise: "How did it happen like this?"

Yaya Nuonuo was speechless.

Zhang Taiping said from the side: "You two go and wash your faces first."

The two little girls felt relieved and ran to get water to wash their faces.

Cai Yazhi looked at Zhang Taiping and asked: "What happened?"

Zhang Taiping did not hide anything and told what happened in the venue.

Cai Yazhi opened her mouth, a little angry and a little scared. She couldn't imagine what kind of accident would happen.

Zhang Taiping said: "Okay, you can't say anything else. I have already criticized you just now."

What I had for lunch was spinach noodles. The noodles mixed with chopped spinach leaves were green and tasted unique.

However, the two little girls quietly finished their meal and then went into the house and took out their notebooks to do their homework. There was no escape from the past. Even Wukong felt curious and walked around the two little girls several times.

In the end, he was chased away by Zhang Taiping.

The moderate rain continued all afternoon and finally stopped in the evening.

The next morning, after the mountain fog dissipated, it was nice weather again, and then it was time to get busy sowing seeds.

The sun had been shining all morning, and at noon, people began to pull seeds and fertilizers to the fields. Zhang Taiping's family was one of them. They hired two cattle at one time, and they went to work together to sow the wheat on three acres of land in a short time.

.

He was the first to harvest corn and the first to sow the seeds. This year he finally got ahead of others.

However, the autumn planting inside their home is not yet complete, because he also plans to sow some black wheat outside. As for the paddy field, he is not in a hurry yet. That will be planted in the summer and harvested together with the corn in the fall.

The black wheat was planted on the land where millet was grown at that time. There was only a few pieces of land, so Zhang Taiping did not hire any more oxen, but plowed it himself, and then used a rake to rake it.

After sowing, we did not apply chemical fertilizers, but sprinkled some plant ash and soil soaked in space spring water. I believe this is more conducive to the growth of triticale than chemical fertilizers.

After a few days of busy work, the autumn harvest and winter planting have finally come to an end. In the past, people working outside the village would start to leave home at this time, but this year no one left because there were still a few major things to do.

Process it.

The loudspeaker everyone had been waiting for finally sounded.

Almost the whole village gathered in front of the farmhouse.

The old village chief looked at the large, dark crowd and said, "Didn't we ask one person from each family to come? Why are there so many people here?"

It got quiet down there and no one spoke.

The old village chief first told what happened last time when the little kids caused trouble in the venue: "It rained a few days ago and there was a group of boys roasting red sweet potatoes in the venue, and they almost burned the venue. Adults

We need to educate our children more so that this kind of thing won’t happen again. The buildings are all public property. Who can afford to pay compensation if they are burned down?”

After returning home last time, Zhang Taiping told the old village chief about this matter. The old village chief went to the field room to have a look, and then went to the house one by one to tell the parents. Those little babies had no butts.

Suffer less.

Basically the whole village knows these things, but now that they are mentioned, it still makes those parents feel a little hot on their faces.

The old village chief did not dwell too much on this matter. He picked up the loudspeaker and said loudly: "I am going to talk about three things today."

There was another low-pitched discussion below, because most people knew that they had come to the meeting to talk about two things, but they had never heard of a third thing.

The old village chief continued: "The first thing is to build roads."

The villagers have all heard about this matter, and they are not surprised when it is said now. They are waiting for the next explanation.

The loudspeaker shouted: "A great man once said that if you want to get rich, you must first build a road. Everyone knows that the seven or eight miles of road from Fengyukou to our village is fine on a sunny day, but not on a rainy day. And if it is open to traffic regularly by then,

It’s even worse. Now our village has decided to jointly fund the construction of this road with Fengyukou Village. They will pay the big part and we will pay the small part.”

Although everyone almost knew this result, it still caused a lot of discussion after it was said.

"What are you making such a fuss about? Whoever has an opinion raises their hand!" the old village chief shouted.

This is something that benefits the whole village and future generations, and there is no conflict of interest with the villagers, so naturally no one objects.

The old village chief looked around and said: "As long as no one objects, this matter is settled. Now it's time to talk about the specific operation."

Someone immediately shouted below: "Village Chief, I wonder if we need manpower to build the road?"

The old village chief pressed his hands to quell the talking crowd and said: "The next thing I will talk about is this matter. The road of seven or eight miles is a big project. I will definitely need help when the time comes. If anyone is here

Since there is no good work outside, you might as well stay in the village and wait for a few days to see if you can join in when the road is being built."

"Village chief, how many people do we need?" Many people below shouted.

"Think about it, such a long road will definitely require a lot of people." The old village chief didn't know how many people would be needed by then, but they would be indispensable.

Although this is not a long-term job, most people in the village who work outside are doing short-term work. There is work today that will not be available tomorrow, and there is no guarantee at all. It is better to build roads at home and have food and accommodation at home.

There is still money left over for meals and accommodation.

The old village chief continued: "That's all for this matter. The specific matters will be arranged by specialized personnel. Now let's talk about the next thing. I believe everyone knows it, and that is the matter of pig raising and the situation in the village.

The village committee has discussed it and everyone agrees. Now I want to ask anyone who has any comments or suggestions."

The old village chief's statement clearly means that the matter has been decided, and other people will naturally not raise any opinions.

Someone below raised his hand, he is a relatively honest man in the village.

The old village chief said: "Do you have any opinions?"

The man quickly shook his head and said, "I don't have any objections. I just want to ask if anyone will be needed to raise pigs after this pig farm is built."

The old village chief nodded and said: "Of course, people need to raise pigs, but it is not the same way as in the past. It requires professional knowledge of pig raising."

"What's the professional pig-raising knowledge?" the man asked.

The old village chief waved his hand and said: "I'm not a professional and I don't know how to do it. It's not easy to be a pig farmer. I need to read some professional books when I go back."

This is a major event related to the development of the whole village. Some old people raised some questions, and the prepared old village chiefs gave satisfactory answers one by one. In the end, the decision was passed.

After talking about these two things, the old village chief relaxed and said, "There is one last thing. I'm not really worried about it, but I want to tell you here first."

"What's going on?"

The old village chief once again told what Zhang Taiping had said about the bamboo products.

The younger generation didn't respond much. This is basically a cost-effective thing, and the results are slow, so the new area for young people is not very big.

But those older people who want to use their spare energy are very interested. The older generation basically has some weaving skills and can make some small bamboo handicrafts. When they have nothing to do, making a few handicrafts is not too much.

Being able to make money in their leisure time is what they like to see the most.

This matter has been settled. However, we still need to organize young people to plant bamboos in the mountains. This is not a problem. As long as Zhang Taiping raises his arms and shouts, a large group of people will definitely follow.
