Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 128 Too much money makes you panic
Had a good night's sleep.

Although the sun in Qingcheng could not be seen in the sky at around four o'clock in the morning, Li Muyang still got up in high spirits.

Because Li Xiangqin was not at home, there was no steamed buns to eat. Last night he baked some "dead dough pancakes" to take with him.

The kettle is filled with cold boiled water as usual.

Set off towards the west mountain.

Today is May [-]th, and there is not much time left for Cordyceps to survive, only about ten days at most.

He wanted to take advantage of the fact that his mother's health was still in the maintenance stage, so he could catch the last bus and make some more money.

Taoshu's profit cycle is so long, he needs some other methods to successfully survive the early economic stress stage.

Not talking about the long term, the only thing that can be done at present is Cordyceps sinensis.

An hour later, when he ran to Xishan, the sky was still bright. Most people couldn't see clearly at this brightness, so he could only see.

After arriving, Bu Motuo followed the traces on the ground and quickly found traces of villagers digging up Cordyceps sinensis.

Jump right into the fight.

Two or three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

At around seven o'clock, he noticed that people began to come up one after another on the mountain path below.

Unlike him, these people walked slowly and leisurely.

Li Muyang heard his children mention the differences between northern and southern people.

Southerners have always been very fast-paced. They value cost-effectiveness and efficiency when doing things. They even walk in a hurry.

Therefore, it is quite easier for the economy in the south to develop.

The goal of many people in the South is to make a lot of money in order to be proud of their ancestors.

But northerners, especially people from the northwest, are slower-paced. Even in the new era, they still haven’t changed much.

Especially in rural areas, people still work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Most of their expectations for their children are not how much money they can earn, but to live a down-to-earth life, and the most they can do is to pass the public examination.

Just look at people like Lijiacun. It's obviously a good opportunity to make money. They make more than usual, but they are just not in a hurry.

Just take your time and do whatever you have to do.

After all, there are only a few people like Li Muyang.

Sure enough, when the first wave of people came over and saw Li Muyang, they were very curious and said that they thought they had come early enough, but they didn't expect that Li Muyang was earlier than them.

Li Muyang had already changed the cans and bottles before they arrived.

The can bottle in his hand is also empty now, with only one or two cordyceps in it.

He didn't want to be too high-profile, so he said that he had only been here not long.

He spoke without slowing down. While talking to the villagers, he found another cordyceps and put the cordyceps into the can bottle skillfully.

When the villagers saw it, they were inspired by him and started digging grass one after another.

In this way, even if people from behind come up again, they will see a small group of people digging, and they will not care about who goes first and who comes last.

Unexpectedly, the morning was fine, but when it was almost 8 o'clock, a mist suddenly came from the mountains, wrapping everyone in the mist.

The visibility is estimated to be only two to three meters.

Li Muyang liked this environment very much and had no worries. He started digging at full speed and started digging quickly.

Fifty cents.

Fifty cents.

When I dig one, I shout five cents in my heart.

At around nine o'clock, the sun finally came out from behind the clouds, and the mountain fog began to recede. When the fog completely ended, everyone was revealed.

Everyone was squatting down, like colorful flowers blooming on the hillside.

Of course, there are also some "dissidents" among the crowd who are just waiting to bear fruit without blossoming.

Li Tuanjie and a bald head.

They are the ones responsible for supervising and storing Cordyceps here.

Walking around, ready to take away half-filled cans and bottles at any time, worried about being secretly moved.

Probably based on Li Muyang's experience, these people now see that everyone is the kind of person who openly digs grass and secretly prepares to secretly change hands.

In the crowd, Li Tuanjie also noticed that Li Muyang appeared again today.

His face suddenly turned very ugly.

Li Muyang pretended that nothing happened and dug up his Cordyceps in silence.

He also saw the two families of his eldest brother and his second brother in the crowd.

Because the high school entrance examination was over but the results had not yet come out, Yongzhong and his parents were together.

This kid is really good at his job.

Despite the fierceness of the elder sister-in-law, the children all have good tempers and look very much like the elder brother.

And they all inherited the kindness and simplicity of their eldest brother.

During lunch, everyone sat together.

"Lao Wu, when did you come back at night?" asked the second brother.

"It's 11 o'clock."

"What did you do at night?" the eldest brother asked curiously.

The eldest brother and the second brother are two old smokers.

As soon as you take a break, you don’t have to eat or drink water, but you must start smoking.

The eldest brother is a smoker, and the second brother rolls his own cigarettes.

Li Muyang told his elder brother what he had originally thought about, and by the way, he mentioned Mi Tutu's matter.

Everyone was amazed when they heard it.

"It would be great if that road could really be built. Look at how troublesome it is to go up the mountain from your doorstep. The road is too difficult to walk." Zhao Yali said.

"Yes, it is obviously the closest to the mountain, but to go up the mountain, you have to go around from the west. It is really not a problem. Now that the road is repaired, it will be much more convenient if you really want to do something on Taoshan." The eldest brother also said Very much in favor.

"Lao Wu, what are you doing in Taoshan? You didn't explain it clearly to us last time." The second brother asked again.

"My ideas are not fully mature yet, but I can give you a rough idea..."

Li Muyang roughly told his brother and sister-in-law about his preliminary plan.

Including trying to modify the tree body first.

Neutralizes soil alkalinity.

Graft part of the late peach.

Among the peach trees, see if you can plant some vegetables with less harsh living conditions, etc.

There are many things to do, but you need to try them one by one.Everyone listened thoughtfully, and the sister-in-law suddenly asked: "I heard that you are talking about a lot of things, don't you need someone to do these jobs? You don't even have a wife, how can you finish it?"

Sister-in-law is always so sharp and can see the core of the problem at a glance.

Li Muyang smiled and said, "I definitely can't do it by myself. Either I can do it step by step, or I have to hire someone to do it."

"Hiring someone, you haven't made any money yet, but you have to give the money to others first. Are you thinking that you will get some money from digging Cordyceps, and you will burn it in your pocket?" The sister-in-law still sneered.

Li Muyang was not annoyed, "Let's talk about it then, sister-in-law, just do it step by step. We don't know if it's going to be intense before we survive. If it doesn't work, you can come over when you have free time. Why don't we do it together? Wait. The harvest, everyone had a harvest together, and it wasn’t very good.”

"That's okay. We don't have much work at home anyway. I'll help you when I have time." Zhao Yali said with a smile.

"Second sister-in-law is really kind to me."

Li Muyang joked.

"Hey, so I, as a sister-in-law, have acted very irresponsibly and am not qualified at all?"

My sister-in-law is "weird", but she is actually just joking.

She wouldn't be jealous of her second sister-in-law. The relationship between the sisters-in-law is good.

"In short, if there is a chance, I still hope that each of our brothers can live a better life, just like we are digging Cordyceps together now."

Li Muyang looked at his brother and sister-in-law sincerely.

"My family and everything are fine. Only when each of our families has a relaxed life will everyone be happy and feel at ease. If any family has a bad life, we will all worry about it, right?"

The eldest brother nodded, "Lao Wu is right. If you are young and have ideas, you should do it well. When you need us, you can call us. Brothers are all relatives, and it is easy to talk about everything."

"Isn't that right? It's better to call us than to call outsiders. Nowadays, many people are too narrow-minded. They do one thing in front of them and another behind the scenes. I don't know if they will work hard for you. Dabai Momo can't spare a single person."

Zhao Yali also said with a smile.

People here are looking for people to work, and they want to provide food for them.

If the hospitality is not good, people will not have the energy to work, and they will say that the host is stingy.

Most people work well, but there are always those who are sneaky and sneaky as Zhao Yali said. The purpose of their coming out is to eat and drink. They don't do much. They eat several big white buns. Some generous hosts even There will also be fried meat dishes for entertaining.

Not to mention, there are people to entertain them with wine.

However, this mixed eating situation cannot last long.

As the saying goes, you can get through people's hearts over time, and you can still get along at the beginning. As time goes by, everyone knows who has what kind of virtue. When you ask for help, you won't ask such people for help, and gradually you can't get along.

"Lao Wu, when you came back this time, didn't you visit Xiangxiang's house?"

The second brother suddenly asked.

Li Muyang was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I didn't care."

Li Xiangxiang is Li Muyang's second sister and works as a Chinese teacher in a middle school in the next county.

Her husband went to the same school as her and was a physical education teacher.

Li Xiangxiang is younger than Li Mudi, but two years older than Li Muyang.

Because she had always been good at studying, although her family was poor, she got a fixed training spot. After graduating from normal school, she first taught in an elementary school. Later, because of her high teaching quality, she was promoted to a junior high school teacher.

She met her husband in junior high school.

The relationship between Li Muyang and Li Xiangxiang is good or bad.

The second sister has a relatively aloof and aloof personality, and she was a bit neurotic when she was young.

Like Lin Xiuli, she is very interested in literature.

But Lin Xiuli is an optimist, always hopeful, and can see a lot of things about how life can flourish from the book.

Therefore, Lin Xiuli feels like a seedling in a spring field, bright yellow and green. After a spring rain, the seedlings are covered with crystal clear water drops, which is very beautiful.

But Li Xiangxiang is like a towering tree in a deep mountain forest. It has so many branches and leaves that it even blocks out the sky and the sun. As long as you stand under the tree, you can't see the sky when you look up, and you can't walk out of the shadow of the tree when you look down.

She is the kind of woman who is very rigid and puts a lot of pressure on people.

Speaking of which, the reason why Li Xiangxiang and Li Muyang had a normal relationship was that they had nothing in common before.

I don’t know a few characters, but one is a Chinese teacher.

One has only yellow soil in his eyes, while the other has beautiful articles in his heart.

One just wants his children to succeed, but the other is a hard-working gardener, a candle that burns himself to illuminate others.

There are many differences in their knowledge, cultivation, and outlook on life.

However, even in the previous life, the relationship between the two of them was better than that between Li Xiangyuan and Li Muyang.

The worst is actually Li Xiangyuan.

That girl was too willful and originally looked down on Li Muyang.

Li Xiangxiang, on the other hand, just felt that her fifth brother was an honest and honest farmer with few common languages.

"Let's drop by another day to take a look. I heard that they have been having conflicts recently."

"What's going on? How come you only know about it, second brother?" The eldest brother was a little worried.

"There is someone who works with me, and his wife helps in the kitchen of Xiangxiang and their middle school. He said that he saw them with dark faces and ignoring each other when they were eating. I don't know what happened?"

"Depending on what you're worried about, it's normal for these two couples to have some conflicts in their lives. Neither Xiangxiang nor her husband are teachers. They are of high quality and nothing will happen to them."

Milan Lan interjected.

"That's true," Zhao Yali smiled and said to her man, "Don't worry about it, it should be fine."

"Of course it's okay. I'm just worried about something happening. What happened to Qinqin last time made me feel very uncomfortable. The matter hasn't been resolved yet. Don't let there be any more problems with Xiangxiang."

"Stop worrying unfounded and thinking about useless things. I think you are just too panicked..." The elder sister-in-law said angrily, "It's really not possible, Fifth Brother, next time you go to the city to see my mother, you can stop by. Next door, look at your second sister, see how worried your second brother is."

"Okay, I'll go and have a look."

Li Muyang had originally planned to go there this time to take a look. The second sister probably didn't know that her mother needed surgery.

Last time, she just asked someone to send a message to her, saying that she would go back to her hometown when she was free, but she probably didn't find the time to come.

Now that the junior high school exams are over and summer vacation is about to begin, I will definitely have some free time.

"It's almost time, why don't we start."

Li Mudi glanced at the villagers over there who were still lying on the hillside basking in the sun. "Let's do more before they start... Muyang hasn't come these days. You don't know, but Li Jianshe's second son, But they always look at us with displeasure.”

Li Muyang smiled and said: "It doesn't matter. If they are not happy, they will not be happy. Making money is the big thing. We don't care what they think."

"Aren't we just afraid that Li Jianshe will give us little shoes to wear?"

"No, if he must provoke us, then we are not afraid of him, right? How many people does Li Jianshe's sect have? How many people do we need in our sect? If something happens, we don't know how it will end..."

Li Muyang said with a smile. Seeing his brother and sister-in-law staring at him in astonishment, he suddenly realized that his "cunning" side had been exposed invisibly, and he quickly covered it up with a smile.

"In short, this is the way it is. If we continue to be poor, we will definitely have no say. When our brothers are better off, things will be much easier to handle. What can Li Jianshe do to us? What can we do? If you don’t scoop rice out of their pot, that’s none of his business.”

Li Muyang turned to look at Li Tuanjie, the corner of his mouth twitching slightly.

These people were vampires who sucked the blood of people in the village in their previous lives. They themselves were also sucked. How could they make the same mistakes again now?

To do it, you must do something.
