Chapter 139 The Cattle Are Delivered
Gu Zhan prepared lunch, including braised pork, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat with potato chips, and clear-boiled chicken.
The table full of dishes looked delicious, which whetted everyone's appetite.
"My brother-in-law's cooking skills are comparable to those of a master chef!" Liu Zhong praised after taking a bite of the braised pork.
"Brother, please don't praise him. It would be bad if he gets proud."
"You kid..." Huang Guihua couldn't help but defend Gu Zhan.
"Mom, you are my real mother!" Liu Xiaoxi pretended to frown and be jealous. Now her mother really treated Gu Zhan better than herself.
After the meal, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.
Not long after the Liu family returned, Wang Yan also walked into Gu Zhan's house with eggs.
Fortunately, Huang Guihua is helping to take care of the children and has not returned yet.
After Wang Yan came over, Gu Zhan made the leftover chicken from lunch into a clear-boiled chicken and served it.
Seeing the meal brought by Gu Zhan, Wang Yan hurriedly declined and wanted to leave. Huang Guihua stood up and stopped her, and asked her to stay and finish the meal before leaving.
On January 19th, the cattle farm was fully prepared. Amid the anticipation of everyone in the Shanghe Village Production Brigade, Guo Zhida and Sun Yuan entered Shanghe Village with three trucks of cattle.
As soon as the Jiefang brand trucks entered Shanghe Village, the team members lined the streets to welcome them. Everyone stared at the three trucks as they came into sight and then left sight and walked towards the cattle farm.
They followed the truck all the way to the cattle farm at the foot of the mountain.
Because they had already communicated with Sun Yuan and Guo Zhida before and knew the time they would arrive, Gu Zhan, Zhao Baogen and other brigade cadres were waiting at the cattle farm early in the morning.
The sound of car horns was particularly clear in the open fields. The team members standing at the entrance of the cattle farm looked around excitedly. When they heard the sound of car engines, they couldn't help but cheer.
Zhao Baogen looked at Gu Zhan excitedly with a smile in his eyes: "Here they are, they are here."
Gu Zhan was infected by the atmosphere and couldn't help but start to look forward to it. He shifted his gaze to the distance and when he looked up, he saw a truck coming into view at the end of the road.
"Quick, get out of the way."
Zhao Baogen quickly evacuated the villagers who were blocking the entrance of the cattle farm to the side of the road, and the car was already in front of them.
Gu Zhan gestured to the driver and pointed the direction. The driver drove the car directly into a large open space in front of the cattle farm.
After the car stopped, Sun Yuan, Guo Zhida and an unfamiliar young man jumped off the truck.
"President Sun, Team Leader Guo!" Gu Zhan stepped forward to greet them, and Zhao Baogen also stepped forward to shake hands with the two.
"Comrade Xiao Gu, Captain Zhao, long time no see. This is Xiao Xia, Xia Yu, the technical staff member we sent here." Sun Yuan fixed his eyes on Xia Yu and introduced him with a smile.
"Hello!" Gu Zhan extended his hand first.
"Hello." Xia Yu stretched out his hand. After their fingers touched slightly, Xia Yu withdrew his hand and looked at Gu Zhan with a puzzled expression.
Gu Zhan didn't care and withdrew his hand naturally.
Sun Yuan and Guo Zhida seemed a little embarrassed, but who made Xia Yu their technical backbone?
At Gu Zhan's request, they need to send technical personnel to stay at the cattle farm in Shanghe Village.
In order to facilitate the next stage of improvement plan for the 'Anhe No. 1' breed of yellow cattle, they planned to gradually shift the research base to Shanghe Village. After careful consideration, they first sent Xia Yu, who had the best technical skills, over here. After the finishing work there was completed, the entire team would withdraw.
But Xia Yu was stuck in a rut. He stubbornly believed that the "Anhe No. 1" project team had abandoned him. He had been in a bad state for the past few days and was even more reluctant to come.
"Xiao Xia!" Guo Zhida secretly pushed Xia Yu, but Xia Yu was not moved at all.
Gu Zhan spoke up at the right time to ease the atmosphere and said, "President Sun, Team Leader Guo, shall we take a look at the cattle farm first?" Gu Zhan looked at Sun Yuan and Guo Zhida.
Sun Yuan quickly joined in: "Hey, good! Good!"
The cattle farm has always been the most concerned issue for Sun Yuan and Guo Zhida. They also had a cowshed in the previous experimental base, but due to lack of funds, the cowshed in the experimental base had long been dilapidated.
Under the leadership of Gu Zhan and the brigade cadres, Sun Yuan and others saw several rows of neatly arranged cow sheds rising from the ground, neatly arranged on the ground, appearing to be in order.
"Yes, Xiao Gu, your cowshed is indeed well built. It looks very neat."
Gu Zhan continued to lead the way: "Let's go in and take a look."
Sun Yuan and others also began to wonder what the cowshed on Gu Zhan's drawing would look like when built. When they saw it today, they found that it was indeed simple, practical, and very cost-effective.
"The structure of this cowshed takes into account both lighting and ventilation. Xiao Gu, your idea is really clever." Even Guo Zhida couldn't help but look at Gu Zhan differently at this moment.
After everything was ready, under the witness of everyone in Shanghe Village, the cows on the truck walked down the wooden boards one by one. With the help of the staff of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the team members led the cows and arranged them in an orderly manner into the cowshed.
Before dark, all the cows were placed in the cowshed and had their first meal of grass since arriving in Shanghe Village.
Sun Yuan and his team were not worried about the follow-up matters. After the handover was completed, they left with the truck.
After all, Xia Yu himself is very clear about some daily precautions and key measures in breeding. In addition, Xia Yu is going to stay in Shanghe Village this time. Moreover, the "Anhe No. 1" variety has good adaptability, so there is no need to worry about any major problems in the short term.
It was already late, and Zhao Baogen took Xia Yu to the houses that had been built for the educated youth in the village. Because some of the educated youth had already returned, there were now a few remaining houses for Xia Yu to choose from.
Xia Yu was in a bad mood at the moment. He randomly chose one of the rooms and put his things in it, then followed Zhao Baogen to the cattle farm.
Tonight is the first night for these cattle since their arrival. After a long journey, they must be strictly observed for 15 days before they can be considered to have completed the adaptation period.
During these fifteen days, we must not relax at all and must closely monitor the health status of these cattle.
Xia Yu was very dissatisfied with his job transfer, but his sense of responsibility for work was not compromised. He followed Gu Zhan and Zhao Baogen to check each cow one by one, completely forgetting that he had also come a long way.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Gu Zhan returned home after finishing his work at the cattle farm.
Little Gu Xinxin just woke up from a nap and is now drinking milk attentively.
When she heard the slight sound of the door opening, she immediately stopped what she was saying and looked around for the direction of the sound with her smart big eyes.
It was not until Gu Zhan changed his clothes and sat over to her that she continued to drink milk with a grin.
"This little girl is really attached to her father. She is so young, but she knows how to recognize people." Liu Xiaoxi whispered in Gu Zhan's ear.
"What? Are you jealous? Then I'll stick to my wife too!" Gu Zhan said with a smile.
"Shameless!" Liu Xiaoxi laughed.
"What's there to be ashamed of for me to be intimate with my own wife?" Gu Zhan looked at Liu Xiaoxi with a smile, his deep eyes filled with unbreakable affection and tenderness.
After the child finished drinking milk, Gu Zhan took the child from Liu Xiaoxi's hands and continued to hold the child in his arms and teased her for a long time before coaxing her to sleep.
Although Huang Guihua said that children should not be held in their arms often to coax them to sleep when they are young, otherwise they will be difficult to take care of in the future, but Gu Zhan is always happy to hold the child and is very patient, and he can always do his best to take care of the child.
Even Liu Xiaoxi, the mother, is not as patient as Gu Zhan.
Little did she know that in Gu Zhan's view, this was what his daughter deserved, and it was also what he owed his daughter in his previous life. In this life, he would definitely give his daughter full fatherly love and make her a happy little baby.
