Chapter 170 Forest Farming
The old village head patted Shi Jingqi on the shoulder twice, and said, "You are a good young man, you have no airs."

Then he said to Li Tiancheng and Du Mei'e: "Today, invite Factory Director Shi to have dinner with this girl."

"Don't worry, uncle, the chickens are all killed." Du Mei'e danced with a spatula, her voice high-pitched.

Li Tiancheng took the opportunity to invite the old village head to accompany the guests: "Uncle, you can also come to our house to eat."

The old village head raised the whip in his hand again: "My sheep are still in the forest."

Maybe this is the normal behavior of the old village chief, Li Tiancheng stopped persuading him and sent the old village chief out.

So they invited Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing to their home for dinner.

Du Mei'e was still dancing with the spatula, and said: "I'll go back first, the fire is still sitting on the pot, Tian Cheng, you must invite Factory Director Shi and Sister Yan back home."

"Okay, okay, the task must be completed." Li Tiancheng replied repeatedly.

After Du Mei'e also left, she said to Shi Jingqi: "Director Shi, sister, you heard me, the head of our family asked me to invite you back."

In Mincheng, only women call the men in the family "the head of the family". Yan Zhengqing laughed when he heard Li Tiancheng say that Du Mei'e was "the head of the family".

Li Tiancheng was not at all embarrassed, and said: "Ezi is the head of our family, and she takes care of all the family's affairs."

Yan Zhengqing nodded: "It's amazing to see my sister-in-law."

Li Tiancheng was afraid that Yan Zhengqing would be prejudiced against Du Mei'e, so he hurriedly explained: "Ezi is not usually like this, she is unreasonable only when she meets unreasonable people."

Yan Zhengqing continued to nod. She was still thinking about what Li Laosan's wife said just now, so she asked Li Tiancheng, "Secretary Li, what did Li Laosan's wife say?"

Li Tiancheng took the opportunity to invite Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing: "Let's go to my house for dinner, and I will tell you as we go."

The hospitality was hard to come by, so Shi Jingqi said to Yan Zhengqing: "Let's have dinner at Secretary Li's house today, and try sister-in-law's cooking."

Li Tiancheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry, Ezi's craftsmanship is very good, and the cooking is delicious."

After closing the door of the village committee, the three of them went to Li Tiancheng's house.

In the rural areas of Mincheng, the house is hot and stuffy in summer, and everyone's lunch is usually noodles or something like that.

So there are many villagers squatting under the big tree in front of the door to eat with bowls.

As soon as they left the gate of the village committee, people began to greet them.

As Li Tiancheng walked, he told Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing about Li Laosan and his wife in detail.

"The cultivated land behind the village is bordered by the forest, and the land on that side belongs to Mr. Li's family."

"Li's family thought that there was little land at home, so they focused their attention on the forest, thinking about digging up the trees, and then reclaiming wasteland for farming."

"This is illegal, so I'll stop it. You guys saw me today. These two are just bastards. They don't listen to what they say. They insist that the land is their family's land in the first place."

"They all grew up in this village. Who doesn't know who's family? He said that, it's cheating. I definitely can't let them cut down trees, but there's no way to stop them. Li Laosan, a half-hearted man, took a saw and went to the village. The saw was sawed on the tree, and I wanted to stop it when I went up, but Li Laosan's wife pulled me and refused to let me stop it."

"In the end, I don't know what happened. Maybe it was a tree branch or something. The clothes of Mrs. Li's wife were scratched."

"This is great. Li Laosan's daughter-in-law is crying and insisting that I stripped her clothes. You also saw my wife just now. Isn't she a hundred times better than that hag? Clothes?"

"But she is a woman, and I can't tell with a hundred mouths. That hag was crying, screaming, and beating, and it scratched my face. If it wasn't for Ezi who drove over, I guess I would have been killed." Scratch it into a blood gourd."

After the matter was finished, he also walked to Li Tiancheng's house.

Du Mei'e had already prepared the meal, and was waiting at the door, when the few people she saw came over, they hurriedly greeted them.

Shi Jingqi joked, "Sister-in-law, Secretary Li is telling us about your beautiful and heroic deeds. You are really amazing."

After speaking, he gave a thumbs up.

Du Mei'e didn't even turn red, and asked, "Which passage did he tell you? I have too much time to save him."

Yan Zheng hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, Secretary Li is talking about the time he was caught as a blood gourd by Li Laosan's wife."

Du Mei'e cast a sideways glance at Li Tiancheng: "Pick that ugly woman's clothes off, you can do it too."

He turned his head and pulled Yan Zhengzheng's arm to walk into the house.

"Sister, you are still young, so you must find a responsible man when looking for a man in the future."

Talking to someone with a hot temper, Yan Zhengqing's temper became lively and his skin thickened, and he asked, "What is responsible?"

Du Mei'e approached Yan Zhengqing: "It's not like Li Tiancheng anyway, let me tell you, it's..."

The two women walked and talked in front, and Shi Jingqi and Li Tiancheng walked side by side behind.

Li Tiancheng explained to Shi Jingqi with some embarrassment: "A woman has a sharp mouth and a tofu heart."

Shi Jingqi nodded, expressing his understanding.

After eating at Li Tiancheng's house, Li Tiancheng led Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing back to the village committee.

Yan Zhengqing still wanted to continue the promotion, but was stopped by Shi Jingqi: "You have made a scene this morning, and no one will come to ask you this afternoon, so forget it, your homework only requires the number of times of popularization of the law, there is no Ask for an audience size?"

Yan Zhengqing shook his head: "No, but I thought that now that I'm here, I can solve my confusion one more time."

Shi Jingqi raised her wrist to look at her watch, and said, "It's [-]:[-] in the afternoon, let's wait until [-]:[-], if you haven't come to consult, consider withdrawing."

Then he said to Yan Zhengqing: "You don't want to go and see the old village chief's sheep?"

Yan Zhengqing was not a stubborn child, he nodded upon hearing the words: "Okay."

Sure enough, as Shi Jingqi said, she waited in the village committee's yard for more than half an hour, only to see people passing by or looking in, but no one went to the village committee.

Since there was no one around, Yan Zhengqing lost his patience and stood up by himself, asking Shi Jingqi and Li Tiancheng to move the table back into the room.

Li Tiancheng led the way on a bicycle, and Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing followed behind on a motorcycle, heading for the place where the old village chief kept her.

The old village head tended the sheep at the back of the village, not in the direction Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing had come.

It was a grove of elms, with grass growing under the elms.

The old village chief stood guard beside the sheep.

But the flock of sheep spread out, like a cloud of white clouds spread over this large layer of green.

Shi Jingqi made a rough calculation, and the old village chief's flock had several hundred sheep.

It was rare for Yan Zhengqing to meet such a large flock of sheep. He happily interacted with the sheep, pulled the grass to feed the sheep, and picked leaves from the lower trees to feed the sheep. He was extremely busy.

Shi Jingqi sat on a crooked tree trunk with Li Tiancheng and the old village chief and talked.

"This elm tree is a treasure. The elm that grows in spring can be eaten, and there is still some light under the tree, so that the grass underneath can grow and feed the sheep. The trunk is still strong, and the beams, doors, and windows of the house are still strong. All its wood is used."

The old village chief said.

Li Tiancheng patted the old elm trees beside him, and said: "This batch of elm trees has indeed grown taller. When I meet the people in the forest farm, I will ask them if they plan to let them continue to grow, or to make this group of elm trees grow taller." Cut all the batches and plant new ones."

The old village head nodded: "It's time to ask. If the tree grows to a certain level, it won't grow anymore. It's a waste to stay here. It's better to replace it with a batch of smaller ones and let it grow again. It's like we Village, I'm old, I can't worry so much anymore, I have to make room for you to grow up, Tian Cheng, you still have to show your prestige."

Li Tiancheng nodded heavily.

Shi Jingqi felt that Li Tiancheng should be a person with his temperament, unwilling to worry so much, and unwilling to deal with those he didn't like.

But Li Tian became Hexi Village, and he was taught by the old village head to change, should he also change?
The feeling of being educated was fleeting in Shi Jingqi's heart, and he asked about raising animals in the forest.

Since the grass grows under the forest, can so many poultry and livestock that feed on the grass be raised?
Can chickens and ducks that love to peck grass leaves also be raised?
Father Liu and Father Shi raised these poultry and livestock in Shijiawan. They were used to driving for more than an hour to Shijiawan, so they didn't feel that Shijiawan was far away.

So Shi Jingqi has been to this forest many times, but never thought of moving the careers of the two old men to this forest.

At the village committee today, when I first met the old village head, I heard the old village head say that he was herding sheep in the forest, so I had such thoughts.

I thought about eating and taking a look.

If it is convenient to breed under the forest, if Father Shi and Father Liu's chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are moved over, it will be much easier for them to contact the two old men.

At least in terms of distance, no matter whether he and Liu Guodong are riding motorcycles, or Liu Qinqin and Lu Hongmei are riding bicycles, they can all get there.

The two old men didn't feel lonely anymore.

Since Shi Jingqi had such an idea, he asked a lot about farming under the forest.

After Yan Zhengqing got tired of playing with the sheep, he offered to leave.

On the way back, Yan Zhengqing talked a lot more.

In fact, I have been talking about the three consulting cases she encountered today.

Among the three consulting cases, they mainly talked about Li Laosan and his wife.

"Printically cutting down trees in the country's forest, slandering the village party secretary and harassing her, making a scene at the village committee. In fact, these things are all testing the bottom line of the law, but they think their own legal awareness is weak. So I don’t feel how big their problem is at all.”

"In this matter, the village committee also has a responsibility. It should not let such behaviors go unchecked, and should be educated and guided."

After Yan Zhengqing finished speaking, he added another sentence: "Of course, this matter is not easy at all."

Shi Jingqi chuckled: "You girl, it must be difficult to deal with, such a thing, such a person, let alone Hexi Village, in Mincheng City, almost all villages have such problems. If it is good Didn’t I report it a long time ago? In fact, Secretary Li has done a good job.”

Shi Jingqi was riding a motorcycle in front, but he didn't feel that Yan Zhengqing was nodding behind.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, he thought it was Yan Zhengqing who was dissatisfied with his answer.

He continued: "I'm not saying you can't change it, I'm saying it's hard, it must be tough, we can just go around the city.",

Yan Zhengqing's voice came from behind: "I know, don't worry, I'm sure I won't dig into the horns of this."

Shi Jingqi continued to drive forward. After walking out of this forest, the road suddenly became clear, and Shi Jingqi's mood also became brighter.

Or go back to the little shop where they came this morning.

Yan Zhengqing's bicycle is still stored in the store.

Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing discussed it. After picking up the bicycle, Shi Jingqi returned to the factory on a motorcycle, and Yan Zhengqing returned home by bicycle.

Because they met Li Tiancheng in Xihe Village, none of the bread they bought this morning arrived.

Yan Zhengqing wanted to show it to Shi Jingqi.

She was rejected by Shi Jingqi and asked Yan Zhengqing to keep it.

Yan Zhengqing no longer refused, and still put it in his schoolbag.

She will take the train to Shanghai tomorrow, just so she doesn't need to bring food anymore.

Yan Zhengqing's bicycle was slow, while Shi Jingqi's motorcycle was fast.

It was still early, even if Yan Zhengqing rode back by himself, there would be no problem at all.

Shi Jingqi and Yan Zhengqing broke up in front of the canteen.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon when Shi Jingqi returned to Lengdie Refrigerator Factory.

It's good to keep the motorcycle in the shed, but Shi Jingqi didn't want to go to the laboratory or office, so he turned his head and went home.

At home, only the mother of stone is leading the little pomegranate.

Seeing that he was back, little pomegranate immediately leaned forward to be hugged by her father.

Shi Jingqi changed into her slippers, washed her hands and face, and went to pick up the little pomegranate.

Mother Shi originally thought that Shi Jingqi came back to get things, but seeing Shi Jingqi changing clothes and washing hands, it seemed that she had already left work.

Then he asked: "What's the matter today, why do you get off work so early?"

Shi Jingqi didn't care, and replied: "Today's work is free, I'll come back earlier to take care of little pomegranate."

Mother Shi didn't ask any more questions. During the past few years with her son in Mincheng, she had already understood the truth that young people should not be questioned too much.

Shi Jingqi played with little pomegranate for a while.

Ask Shi Mu, "Is anyone from our family here today?"

"A few people did come, and when they heard that you were not at home today, they didn't stay at our house." Shi Mu said.

"Yeah." Shi Jingqi replied, and told Mother Shi: "What you do today is right, and you will do it when you encounter such things in the future. Let them come to me."

Mother Shi nodded: "I know, I know, remember, you didn't come back at noon today, how did you eat?"

Shi Jingqi briefly told Mother Shi what happened today.

Said to Mother Shi: "I have also seen that forest. Chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep can also be raised under the forest. Tell me, can I let my dad and others move to the forest? It is not necessary to go to Xihe Village, we will be there. You can also go to the forest entrance, you can get there by bicycle."

Mother Shi said: "It's good, but I don't know if your father agrees or not, so I have to ask his opinion."

　Thank you for the recommendation ticket that wants to sing me to you, and thank you for all those who have seen this, pen refill.
