My village can't be like this

Chapter 525 Return to the Village
The next morning, when Zhang An got up, Wu Qiuping and Su Shaowen were not at home and had already gone to work.

When Zhang An was about to wash up, he found that there was already prepared breakfast on the dining table, covered by a bamboo cover.

Wu Qiuping specially prepared this for Zhang An before leaving for work, just in case he went out without eating anything.

After Zhang An finished washing, he came to the dining table and opened the bamboo cover. Inside was a bowl of steaming claypot rice.

Wu Qiuping got this cover made of bamboo silk from Zhang An's house.

However, it was not Zhang Jianguo or Zhang An who knitted it, but Zhang An's second grandfather, because this thing is not too difficult to knit, but it just requires a lot of patience and time.

Although this thing looks to be tightly woven, if you look closely, you can see that the cover is full of tiny holes.

So even if it’s steaming food, you don’t have to worry about it going rancid when you cover it with it. Instead, it can keep out flies and so on.

After breakfast, Zhang An went directly to the Forestry Bureau.

As soon as I walked in, I found that there was no one in the hall where there were usually people.

At this time, there was a burst of noise from the fence behind. Zhang An originally wanted to go upstairs to find Zhu Yuliang, but when he heard the noise, he did not plan to go up, but walked towards the back.

After going out, I realized that the row of small bungalows was crowded with people in front of them.

No wonder there are no people in the hall outside. It turns out that they are all here, even Zhu Yuliang is there.

"What are you looking at? They are all crowded here."

Zhang An thought that some wild animals were brought here this morning, so everyone crowded here curiously.

"Zhang An is here. Come and see. This leopard has woken up. It looks no different from a normal leopard."

When Zhu Yuliang saw Zhang An coming, he looked very excited and said to Zhang An very excitedly.

Even if Zhang An said yesterday that the leopard would wake up today, even though he always believed in Zhang An, he still kept beating in his heart.

And he thought that even if this golden leopard could wake up today like what Zhang An said, it would only wake up at most.

As a result, this morning, after he came to work early, he found that the golden leopard, which was still lying motionless last night, had woken up as Zhang An said, and could stand up on its own and pace back and forth in the circle.

And it seems that the condition is better than the one locked next to it. After all, the guy next to him who was spanked is still having a hard time standing up.

The other people next to him also had very complicated expressions when looking at Zhang An.

In the past, they only thought that Zhang An was a relative of Zhu Yuliang, so they opened a back door for Zhang An.

Now they know that Zhang An is indeed a strange person. It is no wonder that Zhu Yuliang has always wanted to recruit him into his group.

Because they had all seen with their own eyes what the leopard looked like when it was delivered, and it was no exaggeration to say that it was not far from death.

Moreover, it took so long for so many people to come to the veterinary station, and it didn’t have any effect.

As a result, Zhang An just came over last night. The golden leopard that was dying a few days ago became very lively today.

Although Zhu Yuliang and Zhang An were the only ones who knew the treatment process, they had no doubt that Zhang An was more capable than the people at the veterinary station, and the results were so fast.

"Oh? You're already awake, let me take a look."

In fact, Zhang An was not surprised at all. He was still very confident about the effect of Lingquan Crystal Dew.

He had already calculated the time in his mind last night. At most, this big guy would wake up at midnight last night.

After passing through the crowded crowd, Zhang An walked to the iron gate. The leopard inside no longer looked weak, and the wound on his chest had stopped bleeding and had begun to scab.

After the golden leopard saw Zhang An, it stared at Zhang An for a moment, and then walked to the door. It probably recognized Zhang An.

Zhang An unexpectedly didn't reach out and stroke its furry head like before, because it looked a bit shocking. After all, most of the people in the Forestry Bureau were here, and he didn't want to be too high-profile.

"It seems that they are recovering well. Let's get them some food first. After all, they haven't eaten for a few days, so they must be hungry."

Looking at the food trough inside the fence, it seemed that they had not fed the leopards inside yet, so Zhang An reminded them aloud.

As for what to feed, Zhang An didn't need to remind him, because others knew better than him what to feed.

"Yes, yes, why did you forget this? Xiao Huang, hurry up and get ready to feed them."

After Zhang An said this, Zhu Yuliang remembered this matter, slapped his head, and shouted to a young man in his late twenties next to him, thinking that this Xiao Huang was the breeder assigned by the Forestry Bureau.

In fact, in normal times, the Forestry Bureau has strict feeding times for any wild animals brought here.

But today, because the dying golden leopard suddenly woke up, they came over to watch and forgot about it.

The onlooker didn't last long, and everyone present was dismissed by Zhu Yuliang. After all, it was working time, and it was unbecoming for everyone not to be at their posts.

"Zhang An, when do you plan to go back, I can have someone drive these two leopards into the cage in advance."

When he came to the office, Zhu Yuliang told Zhang An.

Although he had verbally agreed to Zhang An last night, after returning home from get off work, he still thought about it for a long time in bed.

In the end, he still chose to favor Zhang An in his heart, because Zhang An had already shown him what he was capable of.

If Zhang An was not allowed to take him back for further treatment, he would have to invite people from the veterinary station again.

In this way, when the report goes up, there will be one more veterinary station to share the credit. After all, Zhang An can be considered one of their own, and the credit should be shared among themselves.

And after the treatment in the past few days, Zhu Yuliang had doubts about the skills of the people at the veterinary station.

Besides, Zhang An's place is their temporary wildlife rescue center with a sign, and the leopard is naturally among them.

Even if he was discovered and reported, he would not worry about what would happen.

At this time, Zhu Yuliang, after seeing Zhang An's methods, was already thinking about when to temporarily remove the sign on Zhang An's door.

Then in the future, any troublesome guy who comes here can be sent directly to Zhang An.

"Of course, the sooner the better. It's best to go back now. I'm really bored staying here."

Being able to go home, Zhang An naturally didn't want to stay outside, because he had nothing to do at the Forestry Bureau and could doze off even while sitting.

"Why don't you go back after lunch? Anyway, there's nothing to do when you go back. I asked you to come over so late last night that you even ate so late. Today, I have to let Uncle Wen prepare a table of good food and entertain you. After all, you are a rare visitor."

Zhu Yuliang now knows exactly when Zhang An's family will be busy.

To put it bluntly at this moment, Zhang An just took care of his son when he got home. He didn't have anything else to do. It wasn't time to get busy yet, so he didn't let Zhang An leave now. At this moment, Zhu Yu also had Xiao Jiujiu in mind. Although Wen Zhonghe would usually cook for everyone, they were all big pot dishes. It was simply unrealistic for him to do it alone unless someone came down from above.

But Zhang An is different. Although this guy is young, he is very close to Wen Zhonghe, who is about to be in his 60s.

Not seeing Zhang An last night, Wen Zhonghe immediately started to pack a few side dishes.

So Zhu Yuliang was ready to seize today's opportunity and use Zhang An's name to let Wen Zhonghe, an old man in his life, make a fortune.

Zhang An originally wanted to refuse. After all, this meal was not mandatory.

But before he opened his mouth, someone knocked on the door asking Zhu Yuliang for something, so Zhang An walked out of his office and went back to kill time by chatting with Zhuang Shuying.

Finally at noon, Zhu Yuliang came over to call him, and then had a meal with several other people.

Although these people are all leaders of the Forestry Bureau, none of them look down upon Zhang An.

Because Lao Zhu has always treated Zhang An like his own nephew, and because he showed his hand this time, they will only get closer to Zhang An.

After eating, Zhu Yuliang asked someone to drive the two leopards into a large iron cage.

It's just that it's easier to invite gods than to send them away. When these two big guys came, they were seriously injured, and it didn't take much effort for them to deal with them.

But now, these two guys are lively masters, and it is a bit tricky to make them obedient.

"Zhang An, why don't you go and help? They might be a little hard to catch without anesthesia."

It took a long time to get the two big guys into the cage, and Zhu Yuliang's claws were numb.

Usually, when they send some large animals away, they always give them an anesthesia injection first.

But these two leopards have fought several times in the past few days. If they fight again, there may be problems.

So Zhu Yuliang could only come to Zhang An for help, because these two big guys could really behave like cats in front of Zhang An.

Zhang An immediately followed Zhu Yuliang downstairs, and then coaxed the two big guys into the iron cage.

Although the two tabby cats strongly resisted the iron cage, this thing left a huge psychological shadow on them.

But seeing Zhang An take action, they could only reluctantly walk into the cage without any intention of resisting.

So everyone was able to smoothly deliver the two leopards and their cages to Zhang An's cargo box.

The size of these two large iron cages was also just right, and they could just fit into the cargo box of Zhang An's pickup truck.

If it were bigger, the cargo box baffle would definitely not be polished.

"Here, this is the permit your village needs to apply for. You can take it back with you to save your village chief a special trip."

Before Zhang An left, Zhu Yuliang handed over a document bag with a thick stack inside.

When he opened it, he saw a series of documents inside, which were the wild animal domestication and breeding licenses that Zhang Jianwen came to apply for a few days ago.

"Remember to tell Village Chief Zhang that when your deer park is completed and you start raising deer, remember to come over because there are some subsidies from the policy."

The country has been developing rapidly in recent years, and has launched a subsidy policy for large-scale agricultural and breeding industries.

If it was someone else, he might have to inquire by himself, but with such a connection, Zhu Yuliang gave Zhang An a warning.

Of course Zhang An knows this, because the orchard in the back of their home has already received this subsidy.

It may not be a lot of money, but according to Zhang Jianwen's temperament of splitting a penny into two parts, he must come to get it.

So Zhang An drove the car, one man and two leopards, and started to leave the city and return to the village.

In the past two years, everyone's conditions have gotten better and better, and there have been more and more vehicles on the roads in the city.

Fortunately, before Zhang An left, Zhu Yuliang was worried that Zhang An would be too conspicuous by pulling two leopards on the road, and he would be considered a criminal who sells wild animals, which would cause trouble.

So someone got two pieces of oilcloth to cover the two large iron cages to prevent people on the road from seeing the leopards inside.

The two tabby cats in the cage were also obedient. After being covered with tarpaulin, they roared in discomfort, but after being comforted by Zhang An, they stayed inside obediently.

"Zhang An went to the city and came back?"

Back in the village, some villagers greeted Zhang An when they saw him coming back.

Because the two large iron cages were covered with tarpaulin, they didn't know what Zhang An was pulling. They just thought that Zhang An had gone to the city to buy something again.

"Yes, I just came back from the city. I'm going to go to the fields."

After entering the village, Zhang An didn't drive very slowly like he was on the road outside.

Because there are many people on the road in the village and some children like to play on the road, I have plenty of time to say hello to everyone.

When we arrived at the door of the house, the gate to the yard was closed, and only the small door was opened.

Because now little Siqi was born, Zhang Jianguo gave up his hobby of herding sheep and horses in the mountains.

Zhang An wanted to get out of the car, open the gate, and drive in, but before he could get out of the car, Wang Fang walked out with little Siqi in his arms.

"You're back, I thought it wouldn't be until the afternoon."

Wang Fang was originally in the backyard with little Siqi. Now the front yard was completely illuminated by the sun, and only the back yard was shaded.

After hearing the sound of the car parking, they immediately came out and opened the door for Zhang An, because the sound of the car parking at home was very familiar to Wang Fang and Zhang Jianguo.

"I should have been able to come back in the morning, but Lao Zhu insisted that I stay until I finish eating before I can leave, so I have been doing it until now."

When little Siqi saw Zhang An, his face immediately blossomed and he laughed. Zhang An also blew the whistle in response to the little guy.

"Anyway, there's nothing going on at home. I'm keeping you to eat because I'm nice to you. What did you bring back here? Why did you get such a car?"

After Zhang An drove the car into the yard, Wang Fang immediately saw the iron cage covered by tarpaulin on the car.

"This is not an ordinary thing. I brought it back from forestry. I will explain it to you later. Mom, please carry Qiqi home first."

How could Zhang An dare to tell Wang Fang the truth? He could only persuade her to go home first and explain slowly later.
