Siheyuan: My Northeastern Farmhouse

Chapter 84 Replenishment and Black Land! (Life Chapter)

In the evening, Aunt Sun was laying the kang, and she found the 500 yuan left by Gu Weijun in the middle of the quilt. She showed it to Uncle Sun, "Why is this child so polite?" Uncle Sun took it and twisted it casually, "Okay, the child is sensible. Just put it away, and if something happens next time, let’s just make up for it with more help!”

Sun Dayou interjected, "Mom, Dad, Dajun invited me to Beijing. He said he has his own apartment and can live there wherever he wants!" "How about you let me go to Beijing sometime?"

Aunt Sun glared angrily, "You're still going to Beijing!" "Don't you think it's embarrassing? The army is only a few months older than you, and they have accompanied their leaders on business trips, and they are still champions in the competition!" "In another two years, maybe they will all be cadres!" "As for you, you are just doing nothing day by day. Come and join me as a soldier as soon as possible tomorrow!"

Gu Weijun finally grew up to be someone else's child.

Gu Weijun was already at the wine table in Fusong County. In fact, it was very close, only 270 kilometers away. What would have taken two hours on the expressway in later generations was still a struggle in this era. He first took the train to Songjiang Station and then transferred to the bus.

Gu's father's comrade works in the Armed Forces Department of Fusong County. His surname is Bai. He is the chief of the Military Section. He is responsible for the recruitment work of the entire Fusong County and is very familiar with him.

Also on the wine table were Deputy Director of Public Security Wang Wu and Mayor Chen Qian of Fusong Town who were specially invited by Uncle Bai. They are both local gangsters!This is one of the reasons why Uncle Bai is so confident that he can buy wild ginseng. Another reason is that serving as a soldier is really one of the best ways out for the poor people, and the other is to study.

The next day, Uncle Bai took Director Wang and Mayor Chen to the home of an old boss and successfully bought a six-leaf wild ginseng. He also took Gu Weijun to the medicinal materials market to purchase a lot of forest ginseng, Gastrodia elata, Cistanches, and red ginseng. Sedum, Fritillaria and other medicinal materials, many of which are fresh with mud, can continue to be planted.

After that, I took Gu Weijun to climb Changbai Mountain and visit Fusong. How could I not go to Changbai Mountain?There is no need to go into details about the beautiful scenery. The natural spiritual beauty of the forest at the valley bottom and the Grand Theater River, and the shocking beauty of Tianchi rendered in white snow!

Taking the opportunity, Gu Weijun planted saplings of precious tree species such as Korean pine, purple linden, yew, manchurian ash, yellow cypress, and walnut catalpa in the space!These species are also very precious and will be treasured and protected plants by future generations of countries!Little Japan likes furniture made of Northeastern red pine, manchurian ash, yellow cypress and other woods!

On the afternoon of the third day, Gu Weijun asked Uncle Bai to write a letter of introduction in case of emergency, and he went shopping in the local supermarket in Fusong.In the Northeast, what is a large gathering?There must be a market for large-scale livestock trading. There are many large markets in the Northeast that have been around for hundreds of years. Whenever there is a large market, people from hundreds of miles around come to the market!
At the wine table, I heard that there was a big gathering in the past two days, and Gu Weijun took it seriously. Whether it was to enrich his space with livestock varieties or to sell the extra pigs in his space, it was a very good opportunity!The mountain is high and the emperor is far away!
It’s not just about money, it’s mainly because there are too many pigs, it’s too troublesome to feed them, and they can’t eat so much at one time.
The replenishment was very successful. We bought several pairs of local pigs, cows, sheep, and even roe deer and deer!By the way, there’s also donkey. Now that we have dragon meat, donkey meat is also indispensable!
But you have to find a way to sell it... Gu Weijun wears a dog-skin hat, a sheepskin jacket, a dagger on his waist, and he also painted himself with two scars and plateau red. He is not easy to mess with at first glance.

Gu Weijun first went to the livestock dealers in the market, looked back and forth, and finally said, "What are you looking at!" "What are you looking at!" After beating several of them until their noses were bruised and their faces swollen, Gu Weijun asked, "Are they dealers?"

"I have a batch of goods that you would like to take a look at, 20 pigs! The price is easy to talk about, feel free to take a look at the goods!"

"Brother, you told me earlier!" After silent eye contact, several dealers followed Gu Weijun to a valley, "Wait!" After Gu Weijun turned around the corner, he threw two pigs out first. "Come over and take a look at the goods first!"

After the dealers took turns to check, they were surprised. No need to weigh them, they must weigh more than 220 kilograms. First class!After fierce bargaining, the price was 100 for a pig.Afterwards, the dealer raised money and Gu Weijun drove the pigs. After handing over the money, Gu Weijun quickly disappeared.Money comes so easily. Not only do I get more than 2000 yuan, but I also have money to give eggs and meat to relatives and friends. The space deposit has already passed the 4000 mark.

Fusong's only regret this time is that the six-leaf wild ginseng is dry ginseng and cannot be planted anymore.With this trace of regret, Gu Weijun finally embarked on a journey back home, first taking a train to Shenyang, and then changing trains...

After getting off the train, I felt a hint of sweetness in the air. There is a saying in later generations: Northeastern wanderers who have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers can never forget the black land and the pickled cabbage dumplings made by my mother!
Gu Weijun was familiar with the road and found a donkey cart waiting to pull work. After giving the name of the place, he sat on the donkey cart and wandered back to his hometown.

When Che Bashi heard the name of the place, he said directly: "The eldest son of the third son of the old Gu family, right? He's already so old!"

Then he talked non-stop along the way. At one moment he lamented that the third son of Secretary Gu's family was promising, and the couple were both in the capital; at another moment he asked enviously about various situations in the capital.

Gu Weijun smiled modestly throughout the whole process, passed out cigarettes from time to time, and answered all questions. He finally got off the car, but when he gave the money, the car's handle was either dead or alive.What money does your family want?Look down on me!A nice thing!
After Gu Weijun thanked him again and again, he gave the other party half of the remaining pack of cigarettes and grabbed a handful of hard candies.

Looking at the two rows of mud houses with straw roofs in front of him, Gu Weijun had mixed feelings in his heart. He's back!

Gu Weijun's grandfather went to high school in Manchuria and went to middle school in Shenyang, but he did not graduate. After returning home and joining the party, he served as village accountant and village party secretary.Grandma is an ordinary housewife who is illiterate and has always been in charge of the family.There must be a place in my grandma's garden where "sweet stalks" are grown. They look like sorghum, but the stalks are very sweet!
There are a total of six mud houses in these two rows. The aunt and sister-in-law are already married. Except for the one where the grandparents live now, the other one for the son was built by the grandfather, his uncles, and the help of the villagers.It is a custom in the Northeast to separate the family after marriage, so although they still live together, they both have separate fires.

Walking into the first row of yards, the sister of the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle's family were taking their younger brother and preparing to cook. When they saw Gu Weijun, they ran out of the house excitedly and shouted: "Brother Dajun, you are back!" "I'm going to call grandma back!"

Gu Weijun stopped his fourth uncle's sister Er Ying and fifth uncle's sister Dari, touched their withered hair, took out candy from his bag and stuffed it into their mouths, and said gently: "Don't worry, just take a look. It's almost noon and I'll be back soon." "I've just finished packing up my house!"

"Brother, are you hungry? I'll help you cook!"

Seeing his sisters who were only eleven or twelve years old, wearing patched clothes, obviously malnourished, and their fingernails covered with mud, Gu Weijun felt sour in his heart. Unfortunately, he did not dare to do anything. He touched his sister's head again, " I’m not hungry, I’ve brought bacon back, I’ll come to my grandma’s house to eat it at noon!”

"Yeah!" The joy in the eyes of my sister and brothers seemed to overflow.

Gu Weijun pushed open the door, skillfully added water to the stove to heat the kang, then rummaged through the quilts in the cabinet to dry them out, and then briefly cleaned the house, and grandma came back.

"Oh, grandson, I miss grandma so much!" Grandma had tied her feet before, but later untied them, but she still staggered a bit when walking. After entering the house and seeing Gu Weijun, she held Gu Weijun's hand and refused to let go, "Your parents You said you were too busy at work and haven’t been back for two years!”

"However, I have grown a lot taller and stronger in the past two years!" "Okay, great!"

Grandma is thin, has gray hair, and is neatly combed. Although her clothes are patched, they are clean and tidy.Pulling grandma to sit down, he first made her a cup of honey water, and then started to take things from the canvas bag, "Nay, these candies were brought by me from the capital, and these meats were given by dad's comrades who came to the Northeast this time. !”

"You will divide it up when the time comes!"

Then he took out another 20 yuan and gave it to grandma, "Mom, my grandson has made money, you have to buy some snacks for yourself!"

"If you don't want the milk, you still have to keep it for yourself to marry a wife!" Grandma postponed.Then Gu Weijun whispered in his grandma's ear that he was making a lot of money a month, hundreds, so grandma accepted it.

At noon, all the relatives came over to my grandma’s side with sorghum and sweet potato rice. Each person had two slices of steamed bacon and chatted while eating!
Grandpa was also very happy, "Dajun, did your dad say you went to college?" "Okay, you still have to study!"

The aunt (eldest aunt) took advantage of the opportunity and said, "Dajun, I heard your mother said that you work and go to school, so you can earn a lot a month, right?" Then she said to the grandfather: "Dad, you see Daming is going to kiss you, should you let Dajun borrow it?" Give us some money?"

Grandpa looked very unhappy, "Why didn't you tell the kids when the couple came back last year?" "What did you tell the kids about borrowing money?"

The aunt said sarcastically: "Dad, Daming is the eldest son and grandson of our Gu family!"

Gu Weijun stopped his grandfather who was about to get angry and took out 200 yuan and gave it to him, "Grandpa, everything is going well for the family. In the past few years, my father was the only one making the salary, so the family was a little tight." "Now I'm working too. It’s a lot more relaxed, and my dad also said that I want to repay my family more!”

"My dad asked me to bring this back. If it hadn't been for my family during those three years, we might have been so hungry in the capital!"

Then Gu Weijun said to his grandfather: "Master, my father said that as long as the children at home study hard, he will make up for the shortfall!"

The eldest mother and the second mother-in-law are very happy, because the two eldest daughters in the family are studying; but the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt don't care. Wouldn't it be good to come down and work early to earn work points?
Gu Weijun sighed in his heart.
In the evening, there was another big family dinner. They drank Baogu wine and the only meat dish was bacon. Gu Weijun only tasted it.

After helping his grandma plow the garden the next day, Gu Weijun said goodbye to his reluctant grandma and returned to Anshan Railway Station through space!
I’ve had enough train rides!
　Unmarried book friends must be careful when choosing a wife. In our family, only the children of the fourth uncle and the fifth uncle did not go to college, and they stopped studying before finishing junior high school.My uncle’s eldest sister is the first college student in the village, and my second uncle’s second sister is a college graduate.Koke: Dialect, same as shameless
