Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1913 Seeing the Red Panda’s Pet
After lunch, Wu Renzhong drove to the market to purchase items. This time there were many more jars on the list. In order to protect the jars, Zhou Zhi also purchased some quilts. Winter is coming, and these are the best gifts for the poor families in the village.

Mai Xiaomiao was very surprised: "What are you going to do with so many jars?"

Zhou Zhi said, "It's used to make jar meat, right, Renzhong?"

"Hahaha, I guessed it right!" Wu Renzhong laughed, "I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I think about it. This is the first time in many years that Lianhe Township has made jar meat. The big pigs raised by Aunt Gillette are about to be slaughtered!"

"Not so fast. We need at least another month to feed them." Zhou Zhi calculated the time and said, "Anyway, the grain station now has more rice mills and wine making machines, so there is more dregs and bran. In addition, we grow our own grass for silage storage. If we feed them for another month, they can gain some weight in the autumn."

"It's too fatty and not tasty..." Wu Renzhong was still complaining.

"You are a full man who doesn't see the hunger of a hungry man." Zhou Zhi was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry: "Now is not the time for Lianhe Township to look down on Youda!"

Mai Xiaomiao actually never understood why Zhou Zhi went to Lianhe Township, or what he was doing in Lianhe Township. It felt like he had heard a lot of things in just a short while. In addition, before he came, he also learned about the green energy integrated power station project, the fruit research and propagation base, assistance to school-age children and other matters. It seemed as if Zhou Zhi was in charge of everything in Lianhe Township.

"It's not just Lianhe Township." Wu Renzhong explained after Mai Xiaomiao raised the question: "He also manages a lot of state affairs, so I think he should be on the payroll of the state policy research office! The development plan of Anning River Valley and the exploration of the development of aviation cold chain have been commended by the province and the country, and have become a typical example of how ideas determine the way out."

"That's your brother-in-law's contribution." Zhou Zhi denied it. "It's easy to come up with ideas. The real difficulty is to turn them into actions and achieve remarkable results. No one can take away this credit. The state commends ideas for determining the way forward. It commends your brother-in-law for his down-to-earth, serious research, and practical approach to sustainable development. It's not my wild and imaginative ideas that have no data support or experience to back them up."

"These ideas are on completely different levels."

“Hahahaha…” Wu Renzhong laughed happily: “If anyone else said this, they would definitely be suspected of flattery, but now that you say it, I’ll talk to my brother-in-law about it someday. I guess he will scold me on the surface, but I don’t know how happy he must be in his heart.”

"I'm speaking from the heart." Zhou Zhi said, "I'm the type who talks idly and ruins the country, while your brother-in-law is the type who works hard and builds the country. Renzhong, you should learn more from your brother-in-law."

"What a coincidence. Every time he sees me, he asks me to learn more from you. Did you two make an appointment?"

After watching Wu Renzhong and Sha Ma's touching farewell, it's time to set off.

Now the entire road to Lianhe Township is relatively comfortable. Except for the section from Meigu County to Jiukou Township which is still relatively narrow and has some potholes that have not been filled, the roads from Xichang to Meigu and from Jiukou to Lianhe Township have been well maintained.

Especially the section from Jiukou to Lianhe, which is a completely new road with many bends. It saves half the time compared to the first time I arrived at Zhouzhi. The journey that used to take more than ten hours has now been shortened to five hours.

It is winter now, and many animals come down the mountains. From time to time, you can see hares, pheasants, and deer jumping on the roadside.

Mai Xiaomiao's eyes never left the car window, and she showed great excitement every time a wild animal appeared.

Wu Renzhong laughed and said, "The last time Elbow and I went for a night walk, we saw a giant panda. It wasn't the common red panda, but a real giant panda!" "Are red pandas very common?" Mai Xiaomiao's eyes widened.

"You can see them once in three times," said Wu Renzhong, who has a girlfriend in the state and runs this route more often than Zhouzhi. "Now they mainly appear from Jiukou to Meigu. It depends on your luck."

The animals are also very smart. This is the only section of the road that has not been repaired, so it is relatively quiet and they all gather here.

"The red panda's belly is black, so it's actually quite hidden when you look at it from below, but it has a big red tail that can't be hidden, so it's usually easy to see in the evening."

The next section of the road was driven a little slower, but this section of the road itself was the final bottleneck, so we had to slow down anyway.

"There, there!" The guards drove slowly on the mountain road. The sharp-eyed Zhou Zhi finally saw a small figure hiding in a pile of vines on the roadside in the distance. He quickly whispered a reminder: "Renzhong, stop!"

"Where, where?" Mai Xiaomiao looked around nervously, but saw nothing.

"At two o'clock in front, follow the horizontal vine and look in the direction of the road..." Zhou Zhi instructed Mai Xiaomiao to find the target: "It's hidden behind the leaves at the first branch fork."

"I see it! The red panda is so cute!" Mai Xiaomiao felt like a child blessed by God: "What is it doing?"

"Now is the season when the fruits are ripe, and it is also the time of the year when they can eat themselves to fatten themselves up." Zhou Zhi said: "That is a kiwi vine, it should be here to pick kiwis to eat."

"What if there are no kiwis?" Mai Xiaomiao was concerned about the pandas' food problem: "How about we leave the apples for them?"

"Let's not do that. We can't interfere too much with the lives of wild animals." Zhou Zhi said, "They usually eat bamboo leaves, bamboo shoots and insects. If they eat too much fruit, it may not be good for their health. Renzhong, drive slowly."

This must have been something Wu Renzhong had done many times when he took Shama Ricong for a ride. The guards began to slowly approach the peach vine where the red panda was, and they did not move until they were only ten meters away from the red panda. The red panda then happily jumped onto another small tree, and then disappeared into the dense forest in a few seconds.

"We disturbed it from eating kiwi fruit." Mai Xiaomiao threw an apple out without giving up: "This is compensation. I hope it can find it when it comes back later."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. Mai Xiaomiao's personality was actually still a bit like that of a child who had not grown up.

Wu Renzhong probably felt the same way, but he glanced at Zhou Zhi with a confused look, meaning, "Is he really an expert or scholar? Are you sure you're not lying to me?"

"Drive well, you can drive faster now." Zhou Zhi was not obliged to answer his questions, and patted the back of the driver's seat: "Let's try to get to the village before 5:30!"

"I think it's quite interesting here." Mai Xiaomiao was very curious about the Yi people squatting on the street in Jiukou Township. "They look a bit like Indians. What are those tufts on their heads?"
