Riding the wind of rebirth

Chapter 1915 Returning Hometown
To be honest, Lianhe Township is now the place with the highest education level in the entire autonomous prefecture. It has an academician, several professors, associate professors, researchers, and graduate students such as Li Lu and Liang Guangping.

Coming out of Jiukou Township, the scenery on the roadside changed again, making Mai Xiaomiao suddenly feel the desolation of Liangshan Prefecture.

The water level of the Meigu River dropped again, revealing a large area of ​​red river beach. The beans and sweet potatoes planted on the roadside had not yet grown out, and were just exposed there, carrying the relatively clear river water rushing downstream.

On this side of the road, far above the water level, the grass planted after the corn was harvested has entered the harvest season. Many Yi people wearing blue and black tight clothes and cloaks on their shoulders are bending over to work on the grass, and then beating the grass into rolls. These will eventually be sent to the processing workshop next to the chicken farm to be broken up, mixed with ammonia and bacteria, and sent to the silo converted from each pig farm for storage.

After the beginning of autumn, the black buckwheat is harvested. Bunches of buckwheat stalks are piled up in the fields, waiting to be burned and returned to the fields. There are also many people working now, harvesting the last batch of potatoes.

This batch is high-yield yellow potatoes. A large potato can weigh more than half a pound, but the locals don’t like to eat them very much. After all, the local flower potatoes taste better.

Soon the car arrived at the edge of the large base, and everyone got off here. Zhou Zhi also got off the car to help unload the goods.

"What did you bring back?" Zhou Zhi realized that Li Lu and Liang Guangping brought a lot of things besides bicycles, and it didn't look like they were just going for a ride.

"Some experimental equipment for asexual reproduction experiments on potatoes."

"Why did you think of studying potatoes again?"

"Since we have discovered a good variety locally, let's not sit idle." Li Lu said, "It's not like we don't know how to do this anyway."

"Aunt Jike was right to praise her. Lulu is the best. She really has a keen eye." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Let's call Brother Hongtao to go to the grain station for dinner later!"

From here on, fellow villagers got off the bus one after another, and the bus was replaced by children, many of whom were going to the grain station to play. They looked at the girl sitting in the bus curiously and chattered non-stop.

Mai Xiaomiao was very surprised by such an "ecology" because before this, Chinese managers at all levels gave her the impression of being mechanical, rigid, serious, meticulous, and particular about institutional norms. But now she finds that at the township and county level, it is completely different.

For example, Elbow is actually a volunteer. Logically, he should not share the power and ability to make suggestions in rural governance and urban management. However, the magical thing is that he did just that, and everyone took it for granted.

Then, since the matter was related to Zhou Zhi, there was no objection in Mai Xiaomiao's eyes. Even if there was no good reason, she had to find a good reason in her heart to explain it.

Although such governors are not in compliance with various regulations and have to take care of everything, there is no doubt that such management is flexible, such managers are lively and energetic, and even a little... interesting and cute.

This even made Mai Xiaomiao change his impression of this country. A lot of the propaganda he knew was actually very unreliable, and he still had to see it with his own eyes.

The guards finally stopped in front of a huge building, which amazed Mai Xiaomiao.

This is a two-story "castle". The bottom floor is made of thick rammed earth walls. There is a circle of houses against the mud walls, which increases the thickness of the "city wall" and also serves as a reinforcement and support.

The second layer of the city wall is made of wood. The wood is very old, showing a black-red color polished by time. It is covered with green tiles.

There are four large chimney-like pillars made of stone at the four corners of the castle. There are small houses with windows on the pillars. They were watchtowers used to defend the sentry posts. Now this ancient building has many modern facilities. Two green metal lamp poles are erected in front of the stone door frame. There is a circle of petal-shaped street lamps on them, which can illuminate the small square area in front of the grain station.

Around this square, the villagers have consciously moved some stones to make seats of different heights, and also divided the scope of activities.

There was a large grey loudspeaker hanging on a tower, and music was playing from it.

"Brother Elbow, Brother Elbow..." As Zhou Zhi got off the car, a group of kids surrounded him.

"Wait, wait, wait..." Zhou Zhi was surrounded by people and had no choice but to raise his hands in surrender: "Everyone go into the grain station. As usual, wash your hands. Whoever has the cleanest hands will be sent first. Black Dragon! What do you want to do? Sit down!"

Mai Xiaomiao then discovered that a dog with strange fur, extremely vicious and not cute at all, was sneaking up on her. She was so scared that she jumped onto the guard's pedal with a "wow" and hid behind Zhou Zhi, hugging his neck: "There's a dog!"

"Hehe, Black Dragon is just trying to play a joke on you." Zhou Zhi held Mai Xiaomiao's arm with one hand to help himself breathe easier, while extending his hand to Black Dragon.

The black dragon, which had been well-behaved just a moment ago, suddenly changed from a sculpture to a lively one, jumping around Zhou Zhi and breathing out "haha" from its mouth, obviously very excited.

"Xiao Miao, if you want to move freely in Lianhe Township, you must get along well with Black Dragon, and take him with you wherever you go." Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "The villagers here love to keep dogs, and each one is fiercer than the other. Black Dragon is the dog king of the surrounding area, and only with him can we keep safe."

"This is a mountain hound. It's different from the common pet dogs, but it's very smart and obedient."

"Black Dragon, this is our distinguished guest. From now on, you are not allowed to bark or bite when you see us. Do you hear me?" Zhou Zhi stroked Black Dragon's head and said, "Okay, okay, we are going in. Go report to Grandpa Red Sun first!"

As soon as the Black Dragon heard Chi Ri's name, he turned around and ran away.

"Okay, I've coaxed it away. Xiao Miao, you can come down now." Zhou Zhi said, "You have to be brave enough to approach it. The more you are afraid of it, the more it will bully you. This dog is very cunning."

"No! You carry me in!" Mai Xiaomiao was really scared just now and doesn't want to come down now.

"Okay, okay, I'll carry you in first." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to hold Mai Xiaomiao's legs and carry her into the yard.

"Hey, where did this beautiful girl come from?" Tu Liangzhi, Jilie Abi and Lao Chiri, who came out after hearing the voice, couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene.

"The little girl from abroad," Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "was just frightened by the black dragon, and now she doesn't dare to go downstairs."

"Well!" Old Chi Ri's face was full of wrinkles with laughter: "This is the rule of carrying Xi Mo into the house. Is there any food? Don't turn into a tiger."

"Grandpa, please stop joking," Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry: "This is my work partner. I may have to trouble you for a while."
