Dashan Orchard 1988

Chapter 58 Eight: Lame Mi Dama
Li Muyang pulled a brand-new stand truck and stopped in front of a stall selling saplings.

The stall owner is a lame man.

He was an acquaintance of Li Muyang's previous life.

This lame man's name is Mi Dama, and he lives in Mijia Village at the foot of Yangziling.

Mi Dama originally had no name. He seemed to be an orphan. He was brought back from the streets by a kind-hearted mother-in-law in Mijia Village and raised as an adult.

My mother-in-law's family name was also Mi. The old woman thought he was tall but walked strangely. She smiled and said he looked like a horse, so she called him Da Ma.

Da Ma originally also did some work of watering manure in the nursery.

This kind of work is too dirty and tiring, and no one except Malaysia is willing to do it, so he was able to get the opportunity to work because of his disability.

Later, his mother-in-law passed away, and his spirit also became good and bad. When he was good, he would sell some saplings that were unwanted by the nursery to make some money. When he was bad, he would do nothing, like a poor old horse. , wandering among the villages.

Later, in the early morning of a winter, people found him frozen to death in the south ditch.

The body has frozen together with the water in the ditch.

Li Muyang knew Da Ma because they both worked in a nursery. He knew that Da Ma was a very simple person at heart, but his intelligence was a bit weak, a little lower than ordinary people.

Moreover, Malaysia was actually a little better in the early years, but everyone he met would treat him like a fool.

Slowly, as people said, he became more and more stupid, his waking time became shorter and shorter, and finally he became a complete fool.

Also a poor man.

"You... want to buy... saplings?!"

Dama was squatting on the ground, holding a stick in his hand and teasing the ants. When he saw Li Muyang standing in front of him, he raised his head and smiled at him, showing his bright yellow teeth.

Li Muyang put the car aside and squatted down beside him.

He looked at the big horse in front of him and had mixed feelings for a moment. If life could be reborn, he didn't know if the big horse in front of him could go back to the past on that winter night.

However, even if he goes back to the past, when can he go back? People born with disabilities are full of hardships from the beginning when they come to the world. Even if he meets a kind-hearted mother-in-law, he still cannot change his final fate.

Behind Da Ma, there is a shabby raincloth spread out.There are five or six different kinds of saplings placed on the raincloth in the shape of long strips. They are all very small, probably not much thicker than a finger.

Li Muyang glanced at the apple saplings, pear saplings, a few cherries, and a handful of willow saplings. The remaining two types were packed in bags, and he could still see them clearly for a moment.

"Are there any jujube saplings?"

Li Muyang asked with a smile.

He had dealt with Da Ma for many years before, and knew that Da Ma particularly liked people talking to him with a smile, and was most afraid of people changing their faces.

If you pretend to be angry with him, he will cower in fear or suddenly become very excited and run around.

"Yes, yes, it's in this bag. I'm afraid it will dry to death, so it's wrapped very tightly."

Midama grinned with bared teeth, threw the stick aside, stepped on the bottom of the plastic bag next to it with one foot, and pulled out the jujube saplings with a hard pull.

It turned out that the bag contained jujube saplings.

Li Muyang could only see a section of treetops before, so he didn't understand it.

Mi Dama picked up the jujube sapling with all his strength, placed it in front of Li Muyang, and shouted: "Good Miaomiao, good Miaomiao, the red jujubes are laughing, and the chicken is so sweet after eating them."

Li Muyang smiled.

This is the consistent style of Malaysia, and it has been like this in the past life.

When he is happy, he not only likes to say this kind of jingle, but also likes to sing.

My favorite song is Walking to the West Exit.

I don’t know where he, an old bachelor who has never been in love, learned the songs of other girls.Li Muyang also discovered a problem.

Perhaps because of his low IQ, Midama has the ability to see people very directly and clearly.

He can see a person's inner soul very accurately.

Whether he is a good person or a bad coward with corrupt morals, he can't escape his seemingly dull but actually sharp eyes.

If he thinks someone has bad character, he won't talk to that person, which makes them very depressed.

But as time goes by, everyone will find that he is really accurate, and that person is really not good.

At the moment, he was smiling at Li Muyang and seemed very enthusiastic. He must have seen Li Muyang's kind and gentle temperament.

The same is true.

Mi Dama had a close relationship with Li Muyang in his previous life. He always liked to give Li Muyang some stones that he had finally picked up, and would also show Li Muyang the tree species he cultivated.

Yes, Midama is very knowledgeable about cultivating new trees.

The saplings he brought today did not come from a nursery, but were cultivated by him in his yard.

"How much does this bundle cost?" Li Muyang asked.

"Two cents a piece."

"I mean a bundle, an armful. How much is the total?"

"One stick is only two cents. If you think it's expensive, I'll give you a dime."

Mida squatted beside his saplings, looking at Li Muyang with a smile, and kept sorting his saplings with his hands, as if they were treasures.

Li Muyang had no choice but to squat in front of the saplings and count the saplings.

"There are nineteen saplings in total. I'll give you four yuan!"

"Nineteen pieces, one dollar and nine."

"Two cents a piece, nineteen cents, that's three eight dollars, right. I'll give you a round number, four dollars."

"It's not four yuan, it's one yuan and nine. One yuan and one cent. Two yuan and two cents. Nineteen yuan is one yuan and nine."

Li Muyang smiled bitterly.

This Malaysian is still so stubborn. No matter what you do, he is unwilling to change the things he believes in.

He had no choice but to follow him.

Don't look at the fact that when Li Muyang was buying a car, he was bargaining with his second uncle... Lin Xiuli's second uncle. When buying flour, he was also comparing every penny with the village chief's daughter-in-law, Wang Juhua, but in front of Da Ma, he was worth a penny. Neither wants to be cheap.

He himself is a poor man, but now he has the opportunity and possibility to become rich, but this poor man, Mitama, has no chance to turn around at all.

He was destined to meet a sad end with such illness and poverty intertwined.

As a companion who had been together for several years, Li Muyang really didn't want to see something like that happen again.

Although he himself is not well off yet, he still sympathizes with those who are worse off than him.

So, he simply bought all the saplings in Midama.

Anyway, he was going to develop fruit tree planting next, and he always needed a lot of saplings, so he bought them and planted them first, taking the opportunity to test the survival rate.

By the way, he suddenly thought that since he needed saplings and Midama could cultivate them, why not let him cultivate them specifically for him.

If there are no problems when you go back and test, you can have a good discussion with Mi Dama. On the one hand, you can give him a stable environment to avoid tragedies, and on the other hand, you can obtain saplings with a stable survival rate. You can even interact with Mi Dama while the fruit trees are growing. Malaysia is jointly studying it.
