Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 993

Chapter 993: Chapter 866: Production Brigade

The Zhang Family Village is celebrating today. No, it’s even more lively than the New Year!

At the production brigade’s courtyard, the open space where members often gather to listen to the radio and study important documents, three layers of people are gathered inside and out.

— In the center, there are three wild boars, one deer, five foolish roe deer, two large sacks of wild rabbits and chickens, with some fish.

Unlike previous years, now there are quite a number of city patrol teams and old folks from Old Zhang’s family wearing red armbands like Mr. Zhang, making it impossible to move wild game back to the county without drawing attention.

Therefore, Zhang Guoqing has already made plans; once he has caught something, he will clean it up and hand it over to his parents to slowly move it back home.

So at around three in the morning, just as the sky began to show a hint of light, he ran into Daqing Mountain.

Familiar with the path, he caught two deer and a foolish roe deer without being greedy, quickly cleaned them up by the small stream at Wood Nest, and carried them back home.

As it happened, he anticipated the start, but not the end.

The apprentices that he and a few old hunters had trained years ago heard that Zhang Guoqing was returning home alone this time. Oh, they aimed to "persuade" the Old Captain.

Like suggesting since the autumn harvest is coming, don’t they need some meat?

Mentioning how over the past two years, these creatures have gotten smarter, and they need the village’s top expert.

And every year during the wheat harvest, wild boars come down from the mountain. A few years ago, there were even bears. Shouldn’t they take the opportunity while Xiao Wu is here to lead the militia team up the mountain and check it out?

Concerned for the villagers, the Old Captain remained calm on the surface, but his heart was already eager. What he regretted most was Zhang Guoqing’s departure.

He originally envisioned Zhang Guoqing as the successor for the next generation. Who knew this kid would suddenly leap like a dragon and fly away?

In the past few years, several nearby production teams have organized winter hunts, but because of previous disturbances, the animals on the mountains have become savvy, and the harvests are not very substantial.

Each year when he heard how many game Old Man Wang’s team had caught, the Old Captain felt a pang in his heart. Old Zhang’s family are the real hunters. In the early years, how could they have allowed wild boars to come down and ruin the crops?

"Xiao Wu, Third Grandpa isn’t asking you to bring back a lot of game. He just wants you and a few old buddies to take some young villagers and practice."

Zhang Guoqing felt rather troubled, "Third Grandpa, I have to return to the team this afternoon."

Hearing this, the Old Captain was overjoyed. Hmm, as long as it’s not a flat refusal. "I know that, I won’t hold you up from your duties. Just take them for a spin."

And so, under the expectant and nervous gazes of the Old Captain and a few childhood friends, Zhang Guoqing had no choice but to climb the mountain again.

He understood well that the Old Captain’s goal was to hope he would, as before, create a safe passage so that the villagers could benefit.

The dense forest he had discovered earlier, as well as the large area of wild fruit ravines on the hillside that came later, have all been turned over to the team.

It’s said that without the production team’s consent, individuals cannot pick or sell randomly in these two places, except kids trying to satisfy their cravings, or else they would be scorned by the whole village.

Of course, this statement is mild. Mother Zhang said, should anyone defy the Old Captain’s wishes, the old man wouldn’t be gentle.

However, Zhang Guoqing didn’t disclose the other places this time, as he plans to leave them as a paradise for his three sons. Occasionally returning home, it would also make his wife happy.

In his view, the village conditions are quite good already. With the large tract of land previously developed, and the beverage workshop, plus the mountain treasures of Daqing Mountain.
