Break out of the courtyard

Chapter 646: Peaceful Years in Nanla Town

In the afternoon, Zhang Heping brought his family, along with Mr. Hua and Mr. Li, to Nanla Town, while Liu Daoshan and his men continued the meeting and discussion.

The minibus drove for an hour. Li Niu, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, suddenly turned around and shouted, "Master, the path on the right leads to the leprosy village! Dean Bai said that all the leprosy patients there have recovered, and there are no sources of infection in the villagers' bodies and the surrounding mountains and forests."

"You little bastard, what are you yelling about?" Director Zhao, who was sitting on the middle right, retorted, fearing that the boy would ask something threatening like whether he wanted to go and take a look.

You know, although the patients in the leprosy village were cured of leprosy, their broken hands and feet and terribly disfigured appearance were really scary.

Director Zhao didn't want to offend Mr. Hua, Mr. Li and others, and he was even more worried about scaring Zhang Heping's four children.

"Is this the leprosy village where Heping once treated patients?" Old Hua suddenly became interested, and Director Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Zhang Heping looked at the cement path that had been built at some unknown time and nodded, "It's inside this mountain pass."

"Do you want to go and have a look?" Mr. Li also spoke at the right time.

Zhang Heping simply thought about it for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Forget it. Most people would be very uncomfortable seeing those patients."

Director Zhao quickly agreed, "Old leader, if you want to see it, there are photos of leprosy patients on the bulletin board of our Nanla Town Health Center. It's better not to go to that village."

Mr. Li did not insist, and the minibus did not stop, but had already gone far away from the cement road.

In fact, when the higher-ups paid attention to Zhang Heping, they had already sent people to the leprosy village to investigate. Mr. Li and Mr. Hua had seen the relevant investigation photos, knew the conditions of the leprosy patients, and also informed the local people in Banna to treat this village well.

Otherwise, how could there be a cement road leading to the leprosy village?

Tang Xin and Chen Shuting did not know about what happened in the leprosy village, so they asked Zhao Hongmei and Dao Yuzhu nearby. They were frightened by the descriptions of the two girls' descriptions of the aftereffects of leprosy, such as lion face, collapsed nose and sunken eyes.

When the minibus stopped in front of the Nanla Town Health Center, Tang Xin and Chen Shuting looked at the photos of leprosy cases on the bulletin board and were unable to calm down for a long time.

Although Zhang Heping noticed the expressions of the two women, there were too many people he needed to deal with. Baiyun, Yishu, Huanglian, Yulu, Zhao Jie and other familiar people, as well as a group of fellow villagers gathered around him.

When he finally got out of the crowd, Lao Zhao dispersed them. The two bitches had been standing by and watching the joke with laughter for a while.

Looking at Mr. Hua, Mr. Li and others, they have already gone to visit the pharmaceutical factory across the street and have no intention of helping at all.

"Laugh! How dare you laugh!" Zhang Heping glared at Yishu, Huang Lian and his former subordinates while straightening his clothes that were pulled askew.

"Director, we wanted to help just now, but those fellow villagers were too enthusiastic and insisted on taking you to their homes for dinner. We had no choice, hehe..." Yishu, the current director of Nanla Town Health Center, replied with a smile, then pulled a beautiful girl and called Zhang Heping "Master".

"Is this girl your Xiaohong?" Zhang Heping saw Yishu nod and said with a little emotion: "When I left here, this girl was only two or three years old. Time flies!"

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping looked at the somewhat dilapidated health center building and the bamboo building classroom next to it.

Then Zhang Heping pointed to the bamboo building that was once the outpatient building and later used as a primary school classroom, and asked, "Isn't that bamboo building over there used as a classroom?"

Yishu looked in the direction of the finger and replied, "A primary school was built next to the tea factory, so we took back the house over there. We usually process some Chinese herbal medicines and teach some students there, just like you, the dean, taught us in the past."

Zhang Heping chatted with everyone at the entrance of the health center for a while until Mr. Hua, Mr. Li and others came out of the pharmaceutical factory opposite, and then he walked towards the entrance of Nanla Town.

Except for the health center and the bamboo building next to it, there are also five red brick guesthouses behind the town office building that still stand in their original locations.

Then there are small courtyards, fish ponds, public toilets, and gardens on both sides of the cement road...

"Wow! It's so beautiful here!" Zhang Feng held her camera and couldn't help but start taking pictures at the entrance of the town.

Zhang Heping looked at the bamboo canal next to him and said with a smile, "We all have running water, so why do we still need the waterwheel and these bamboo poles?"

"Let's take a bath!" Huang Lian said with a smile, "Dean, have you forgotten that you forbid us to take a bath in the river?"

"Dean, would you like to visit our women's bathhouse? Hehehe!" Yu Lu, who is already married, still remembers the joke she made.

Looking back to the past, whenever these girls saw Zhang Heping passing by the women’s bathhouse, they would excitedly call him in to bathe together.

"You are so old, yet you are still fooling around!" Bai Yun, the current director of Mengla County People's Hospital, scolded him. He also glanced at Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and others, and signaled Yu Lu and others to pay attention to the impact.

Zhang Heping didn't take it seriously. He walked to the side of the bamboo pole and found that the water inside was clear. He thought that he had been replacing the charcoal in the water filter device according to what he had taught him.

"Mankai Village!" Old Li looked at the words on the square bamboo gate and read them out softly.

Looking deeper into the cement road, there are many such gatehouses. A rough count shows that there are more than twenty of them.

Li Niu, who had disappeared for a while, ran over breathlessly, "Master, do you want to eat anything tonight? I can arrange it for you."

"I haven't eaten rice noodles for a long time. Give me a bowl of rice noodles with more chili oil." Zhang Heping said casually: "Ask Mr. Hua, Mr. Li, and others to see if they can eat spicy food."

Zhang Heping did not blame the boy for asking him first, but subtly reminded him to ask someone else.

"Ha ha……"

"Brother wants to peek into the women's bathhouse, shame, shame, shame..."

Zhang Heping turned his head to look at his fifth son Zhang Long, whose face was red with anger. This silly boy was almost tricked into going into the women's bathhouse nearby, causing several guards nearby to laugh so hard that they were shaking with laughter.

Looking at the sixth son Zhang Hu, he was holding a big crab in one hand and quietly approaching Zhang Nuo who was still laughing at his brother.

Ignoring the children's fighting and thanking the villagers for the fruits they had sent, Zhang Heping led Mr. Hua and Mr. Li deeper into the town. They did not see the base for captive experimental monkeys until they reached the end of the cement road in front of the big mountain to the north.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Wow!" Mr. Hua pointed at a tricycle unloading fruits nearby. "This monkey base alone can boost the fruit market here. Heping, are these monkeys really worth 10 magnesium dollars each?"

"A thousand gold coins for horse bones!" Zhang Heping looked at the tall boulder wall outside the base and smiled meaningfully, "Who made this experimental monkey base the first in the country?"

"Let's go in and take a look!" Boss Li waved his hand, walked over first, and then was blocked outside the gate.

"Sorry, the visiting hours are from 10 am to 15 pm, and you need to make an appointment in advance!" The middle-aged man guarding the gate saw that there were quite a lot of people coming and said in embarrassment: "Besides, there are too many of you, and we don't have enough protective clothing."

Zhang Heping heard the guard's words and said with a smile, "Mr. Li, let's come back tomorrow morning. The staff inside should be doing a physical examination on each monkey right now."

After he finished speaking, Zhang Heping asked two guards to pick up two branches to alert the enemy, and then led everyone to the tea mountain on the east side.

The western hillside was planted with Artemisia annua and Yew chinensis. Because they were small seedlings, Zhang Heping did not bring anyone else to harm them.

After Mr. Hua climbed to the top of the mountain, he looked at the two mountains in the east that were also covered with tea trees, and asked with a little surprise: "Heping, I heard that in the second year after you came to Nanla Town, you taught the villagers to plant tea trees here?"

"Yes!" Zhang Heping pointed to the hillside to the west and said, "We originally planted Artemisia annua over there, but we thought that a single economy would cause problems, so we started planting tea here."

"The forest to the west and the saplings must be yew trees!" Mr. Li pointed to the hill to the west and said with emotion: "If you take any one of the three cash crops in Nanla Town, it can drive the economic development of the town. Nanla Town is so lucky to have you."

"Mr. Li, you've got it wrong!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "I'm lucky to have come to Nanla Town, and lucky to have received support from the folks here, so I can leave a mark here."

"What's more, I just talked a lot. These tea trees, those wormwoods, and even the small town at the foot of the mountain were all earned by the villagers with their hard work!"

"Dean!" Yishu, who was following behind, said in a serious tone, "When you came here, we only had more than 20 thatched houses. Without you, we wouldn't have the happy life we ​​have now!"

"Also, you taught us how to build the bamboo house next to the health center and the ones at the entrance of the town. Without your teaching, we wouldn't be able to build these beautiful bamboo houses."

Everyone understood that Dean Yi was trying to help Zhang Heping take credit. Just as Bai Yun and others were agreeing, Zhang Heping interrupted them.

"Go play!" Zhang Heping said with a smile, "Don't the two leaders know what I have done here? I need you to supplement it! At this moment, you should be as humble as I was just now! Humility makes people progress, understand?"

Zhang Heping's words caused a burst of laughter, and Yishu's face turned red.

Everyone walked down the hillside to the road and then visited the tea factory opposite.

At the same time, all the leaders of Mengla County rushed over and wanted to invite Mr. Hua and Mr. Li to the county for a reception.

Unfortunately, Zhang Heping is not going...
