Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 269 In Progress

Li Zhankui doesn't care much about the holidays. Now he can't wait to go to work every day.

But when Li Weidong said to help him with something, he immediately cheered up.

"it is good."

Before even asking anything, Li Zhankui nodded.

"The thing is like this, I need you to go to Shijia Village and find a family named Shi Wenbai, but this Shi Wenbai died a few years ago, and there should be only his wife and daughter left in the family.

This Shi Wenbai has built mausoleums for people since his ancestors. On the eve of liberation, he was taken away and never came back.

I want to know, after he was taken away, did he pass any news back or leave any clues.

But this matter must be kept secret, out of my mouth, into your ears, and cannot be known by a third person. "

Li Weidong said seriously.

In fact, this matter has been lingering in his mind for a long time.

Ever since Meng Dayong told him about this, he has been wanting to go to Shijia Village to see if Shi Wenbai, who was taken away by Gui Shaoning, has any news.

This is related to the whereabouts of Gui Shaoning's mysterious materials.

It's just that he hasn't been able to spare the time.

The last time he went back to his hometown, he couldn't go because Zhou Xiaobai followed him.

Coupled with Jia Lingling's potential threat, and Chang Qingbo and Xiang Tianming staring at each other, he has never acted rashly.

Now that Jia Lingling has left, he has joined the interrogation intelligence team. Knowing all the intelligence team members is equivalent to mastering the eyes and ears of Chang Qingbo and Xiang Tianming.

Even if the other party really kept something behind, but during the period when he was the deputy team leader, he still wanted to monitor him, which obviously outweighed the gain.

The current him can be said to have lost his shackles.

In addition, there is Li Zhankui as an available helper, so there is no need to bear it any longer.

As for what to do with the mysterious materials after finding them, it depends on what is inside.

If he can use it, then he will use the farm warehouse to help 'save' it for the time being, and wait for the future.

If you can't use it, just hand it in.

It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Even if Shi Wenbai has no clues, he still has another way, which is the painting that Zhou Xiaobai brought to him.

It just so happened that the little old man Zhang Yunshang hadn't done what he had entrusted to him last time, so he could use this excuse to deceive others.

So, in every sense of the word, the time is now ripe.

Time to get down to business.

After he finds it, it can be regarded as Gui Shaoning's "last wish".

I believe that when Gui Shaoning died, if he wanted to entrust the mysterious materials to someone, it would probably be him, Mr. Hou San.

"clear."

Li Zhankui has been to Shijia Village before, so it can be said that he is familiar with it.

It is also easy to find Shi Wenbai's house.

The key is how to get the information Li Weidong wants from the opponent.

From Li Weidong's instructions, he could guess the importance of this matter, but he didn't ask the reason.

Just need to know what he should do.

"You take the money and food stamps, don't treat them badly."

At this time, Li Weidong took out the things he had prepared in advance from the drawer.

In his opinion, things that can be solved with money are far safer than violence and have fewer future troubles.

After the other party accepts the money, if they want to report it, they have to think twice.

Of course, now Li Weidong is not afraid of being reported.

It's an exaggeration to say that you can cover the sky with one hand, but it's okay to cover the mouths of one or two people.

"do not worry."

Li Zhankui silently accepted the things and promised earnestly.

This is the first time he has helped Li Weidong with errands, and it can be regarded as a chance to repay the other party, so naturally he must do his best.

After Li Zhankui left, Li Weidong stayed in the office for a while and became a little bored.

This meeting does not have a computer for him to play Doudizhu and minesweeping, nor does he have a mobile phone to watch short videos or read novels.

More importantly, he was only responsible for the greenhouse on the farm, and there were no documents to deal with at all, not even a note.

There isn't even something to do to pass the time without getting into the game farm.

So he went straight out the door and walked all the way to the greenhouse.

At this time, the straw curtains needed for the greenhouse had already been prepared, and because of the sun at this moment, they were rolled up on top.

And from the two chimneys, green smoke still kept coming out.

Through the plastic film, you can see the shadows inside, obviously someone is busy inside.

After Li Weidong got in, he saw Professor Zhao Liguo leading the people in the ridge.

Planting sweet potatoes is not about digging a nest on flat ground and planting them directly. You have to make a ridge first, and then plant the sweet potato seedlings on the ridge.

The so-called ridges are to use soil to ridges one by one. There are many advantages to doing this, such as ventilation, nourishing roots and preserving fertilizer.

There is a saying in the countryside: Big fish are raised in deep water, and big potatoes are grown on high ridges.

These are all experiences that have been summed up continuously.

In the greenhouse, the temperature was a bit high, including Professor Zhao, all took off their padded jackets and only wore breathable undershirts.

Although the prisoners who actually did the work were recruited prisoners, these people had basically never farmed land, so they had to be taught hand in hand.

"Yo, Captain Li is here?"

After seeing Li Weidong, Professor Zhao Liguo joked directly.

From his demeanor, he couldn't see the 'grudge' from last time.

Obviously, the incident with the technician did not affect the relationship between the two.

"Professor Zhao, you have worked hard."

Li Weidong strode up to Zhao Liguo, who complained slightly: "You are really busy as the captain. I asked a few people earlier, and they all told me that I have no comment. Why? You have to keep it a secret? Even inquire about it." Is it all gone?"

"How can it be? Someone died in the prison, and the leader asked me to investigate the case, so I happened to be away these few days."

Li Weidong explained.

Hearing his words, Zhao Liguo really didn't 'pursue' anymore. In fact, he just complained before. Even if Li Weidong was not around, he would plant sweet potatoes according to the plan and start to enter the cultivation stage.

However, Li Weidong was not there, so he was somewhat worried.

After all, he already regarded this place as another test base.

In particular, the farm plans to have [-] acres of land, even if half of it is used to plant sweet potatoes, it will still allow him to collect enough data.

Even Li Weidong promised that once there are results, they will be spread across all six farms.

Centralized, convenient and easier to manage.

This is not the experimental field of dreams, what is it?
Much stronger than his previous model.

If things are really going well here, he plans to directly move the Sweet Potato Cultivation Research Institute here, which will definitely save a lot of worry.

"After the ridge here is done, let it sit for another three or four days, and I'm going to plant sweet potato seedlings."

Zhao Liguo began to talk about the plan here.

"Three or four days? Isn't that Chinese New Year? So anxious?"

Li Weidong felt a little emotional, this is for sweet potatoes, haven't they been prepared for years?

"Don't be in a hurry. Even if there is a greenhouse, it will take at least four months for these sweet potatoes to be produced. It has just caught up with the time for planting sweet potatoes outside. If it is delayed any longer, it will be too late."

Zhao Liguo counted the days for Li Weidong with his fingers.

The time was really tense.

But for the farm, there is no such thing as a New Year's holiday, how to work, and how to do it.

What's more, the status of the greenhouse has been revealed, let alone the New Year, even if there are knives outside, it can't be delayed.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Li Weidong admires professors like Zhao Liguo from the bottom of his heart. People like them really do things in a down-to-earth manner. The so-called professors are not an honor to them, but a heavy responsibility.

It is because of their selfless dedication that they have the title of professor.

It is this title that pursues them, unlike those so-called experts and scholars in later generations who first pursue their professional titles, and only start to 'do things' when they have the title of professor.

So the taste of professors in later generations gradually changed, from being respected by everyone to being beaten by everyone, from being a professor to being called a beast.

It has to be said that this group of people ruined the word professor.

It tarnished the unknown and hard-working golden signs of Zhao Liguo.

"What's so hard about it, as long as I can breed more excellent sweet potato varieties and produce more, so that everyone no longer starves, I will be satisfied."

Zhao Liguo smiled, his eyes seemed to be looking at the future.

"Most definitely."

Li Weidong nodded heavily.

Although I will still be disappointed, there are some things, some expectations, which are destined not to be let down.

Afterwards, Li Weidong patiently accompanied the high-spirited Professor Zhao Liguo to walk around the greenhouse several times.

And Zhao Liguo also continued to pass on his own experience, from the field to the temperature of the seasons, to how to ridge the seedlings, how to fertilize and turn the seedlings.

From the beginning to the end, everything was detailed and everything was said without reservation.

Obviously, he regards Li Weidong as an inheritor, even though he also knows that Li Weidong's ambition is not here, and the other party has a better future, but he just can't help it.

Fortunately, Li Weidong did not disappoint him, and he was even able to draw inferences from one instance and ask many insightful questions, which made him feel extremely gratified.

This shows that Li Weidong really wants to do a good job in this greenhouse, and he is really devoted to and understands how to grow sweet potatoes.

Unlike the people who visited his place before, people came and left again!
When Zhao Liguo was having fun, Li Weidong saw that it was almost noon, so he invited him to the cafeteria for dinner.

In this regard, Zhao Liguo waved his hand directly, pointing to the lunch boxes in the corner and the stove in the shed.

"I have to put on clothes when I go out, not to mention the trouble, I catch a cold easily, we will just go to bed here at noon, and we have to continue working after eating.

Knowing that you have a lot of things to do, you don't have to accompany me and go to work on you. "

Zhao Liguo was completely relieved at this meeting, and he was in a good mood.

I don't care about what to eat or where to eat.

They used to think it was troublesome, and it was not once or twice to eat in the greenhouse.

Even in winter, some people covet the warmth inside, and directly hug their bedding to sleep at night.

As long as the ventilation is done well and close to the edge, there is no need to worry about accidents.

"Alright, I'll ask the kitchen to bring some hot water and a pot later, so you can heat up the rice before eating."

Li Weidong saw that the other party was firm, so he didn't force it, and he would let the cafeteria add two more dishes later.

Saying goodbye to Zhao Liguo, Li Weidong waved to Meng Dayong who was in the corner, motioning him to leave with him.

There is clearly something going on.

　Good night, gentlemen.
