How to access properties from parent class when implementing interface in c#?

Question

If I have an interface

interface ISite {
    int g { get; set; }
}

and a base class

class Site {
    public int g = 1;
}

and a derived class that implements the interface and extends the class

class DSite : Site, ISite {
    // comaplains g is not defined
}

It complains that I did not implement the g property, but how do I make it take it from the parent class Site?

Either make g in Site a property:

class Site
{
    public int g {get;set;} = 1;
}

or explicitly implement the interface in DSite:

class DSite : Site, ISite
{
    int ISite.g
    {
        get { return g; }
        set { g = value; }
    }
}
