Chapter 164: Wild Boars and Pheasants

Song Tan really hadn't noticed the message at this moment.

She was carrying a basket, weeding and removing insects in the vegetable garden, and by the way, saving rations for the chickens and ducks.

Why else would one say these weeds have strong vitality? The vegetable seedlings had only been transplanted for a short time, and they were already breaking through the soil, almost as tall as the seedlings.

Looking from afar, it was poetic, "The grass color looks distant but is near"!

But it wasn't the same thing in the vegetable field.

Now that there was no manpower to spare, Song Tan pulled weeds wantonly along the ridges. Fortunately, it had only been a few days; for one, the grass buds hadn't taken deep root, and for another, they weren't very dense, so the progress seemed fast.

The seedlings in the two paddy fields at the bottom were lush and green, and the paddy fields were crystal clear, with green grass and small fish visible below.

The fish were really too small, not even as big as the previous wheat-ear fish. Song Tan looked at the seedlings that weren't tall enough yet, and thought regretfully: if only she could put ducks in.

It was a pity, ducks eat everything, and the seedlings were still small, so she didn't dare to put them in right now.

She looked at the paddy field intoxicated for a while, wishing she could speed up time and grow rice ears quickly; she really missed rice.

Old Man Li was also pulling weeds by the edge of the vegetable field, and watching Big Treasure and Second Treasure jumping back and forth in several vegetable fields, a thick smile appeared on his face involuntarily:

"Tan Tan, you have to give Big Treasure and Second Treasure more meat bones tonight; they're working very hard every day."

When the seeds hadn't sprouted, magpies would come to dig them up, and they had to work hard to drive the birds away.

Now that they had sprouted, a lush green patch, but the other end of the field was the mountain, and pheasants and wild rabbits were flying and running around...

Big Treasure and Second Treasure could be considered to be guarding them dutifully, which was why they hadn't been ruined.

If these things came to the field, in the past, whether it was trapping rabbits or catching pheasants, it was always meat.

Nowadays...

Sigh!

And so, Old Man Li was still sighing:

"Yesterday a pheasant flew over, that guy, its tail must have been a meter long! It was colorful, it couldn't have been more beautiful."

But the old man was also wronged: "I didn't dare to catch it, Big Treasure and Second Treasure drove it away, it almost ruined the vegetable seedlings."

The whole village knew about this; it was just that the pheasant was too beautiful, the movement of it flying over wasn't small, and some people even took videos.

This video spread in the village group, causing their little secretary to @ everyone in the group: "Do not touch the pheasants!"

Saying that one with such a long tail must be a Reeves's pheasant, at least a national second-class protected animal, and if it were national first-class... it might not be necessary to worry about retirement.

Once this was said, Old Man Li looked at the paddy field with restraint today.

Song Tan also laughed: "Old Man Li, if you think about it this way, there aren't as many wild rabbits and pheasants in our area as before. They can come out now, proving that the water and soil in our hometown have improved, and the air will be good later. If you live in our hometown, you will definitely live a long life!"

Oh my!

Why did these words sound so pleasant!

Old Man Li laughed, and felt he had strength while working now.

"Indeed, I turn around in this field every day, and I feel my body is much better than in previous years. Look at my old yellow ox, it came late for breakfast yesterday morning, and it was anxious at home, mooing constantly."

But having said that, Old Man Li still had something to exhort:

"Tan Tan, there are wild boars on our mountain now. You have to be careful, whether it's the peach forest on the mountain or this vegetable field, you have to pay attention."

Wild boars are picky eaters; grass roots, tree bark, and wild vegetables, how can they be as fresh and delicious as the crops in the garden?

The key is that their habit is to root around blindly; they don't necessarily eat everything into their stomachs, but they will definitely root it out. If discovered late, it will be scorched and dried to death.

Last year, the sweet potato field in the neighboring village was rooted up by a large piece. Actually, they didn't eat much, it was just a mess, which was truly heartbreaking.

Old Man Li couldn't help but nag a few more words:

"This thing runs in the mountains, there are no wolves or tigers, it's the king of the mountain. It can also give birth, a litter of several, and now it's a protected animal."

Song Tan laughed: "It's okay, Old Man Li, this year we are allowed to kill wild boars, it's not illegal."

As Old Man Li said, now the wild boars in the mountains have no natural enemies, and are protected, so aren't they giving birth desperately?

Last year, several villages reported that wild boars were harming crops, and the city had already opened hunting licenses.

This year, it was just spring, and there were traces of wild boars rooting everywhere again—well, no license was needed, as long as you have the ability, go up the mountain and hunt.

However, despite this, the number of people going up the mountain was countable on one's fingers.

After all, that's a wild boar!

A reckless charge, a pig's sudden advance, is an existence that can take a life. Everyone doesn't lack meat to eat, who is willing to take risks up the mountain.

Song Tan was quite looking forward to it.

Now the family consumes a lot of meat every day, if a wild boar can come, it will make up for some expenses, right?

But this can't be said to Old Man Li, because he has already started to worry:

"Tan Tan, even if it's not illegal, you have to be vigilant. If you really see a wild boar rooting the ground, scare it from afar. If it leaves, it leaves. If it doesn't leave, don't fight it hard."

That wild boar fighting is not that simple.

The old man's good intentions, Song Tan accepted this feeling, and immediately agreed.

Only then did she have time to check her phone.

The recruitment information posted in the morning, probably because the good food and vegetables were truly attractive, many aunts came to send messages to consult.

But they love long voice messages.

Song Tan just listened to the voice messages and replied one by one, and listened for a long time.

Only then did she see a separate message:

【Male, Xin Jun, 23 years old, undergraduate degree from the School of Education, Huacheng Normal University...】

【Certificate Image】

Eh eh eh?!

Song Tan was energized.

This condition seems very good!

For one, a 23-year-old college student has enough acceptance and vision of the outside world, which is just right for guiding Qiao Qiao.

After all, Great-Uncle Seven, this teacher, is already steady enough, and another younger one can complement each other. In addition, the other party is a boy, and should have more topics with Qiao Qiao.

And he is actually from a normal university, this major is simply too suitable!

Song Tan didn't say a word, and quickly replied to the other party's message:

【Hello, are you applying to be Qiao Qiao's tutor? Do you know about Qiao Qiao's situation?】

The other party is also in the vegetable buying group, and should know clearly. Sure enough, a positive reply was received soon.

Song Tan was also a bit impatient:

"Then may I ask, when will you come for an interview? Are you in the city? We can be responsible for picking you up."

If not picked up, in this poor and remote place, ordinary people wouldn't be able to find it!

Xin Jun, who was far away in Zhu City, looked at the reply on his phone, and finally breathed a long sigh of relief, and then booked the ticket without saying a word:

【Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, Yuncheng High-Speed Railway Station, is that okay?】 ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
