Rebirth 78, marry Qingmei as my wife

The thaw always happens silently. All you can see is the snow on the mountains and roadsides gradually decreasing and disappearing.

If there was any noise, it was the sound of water flowing in the Taiping Ditch that runs through the village from the west side, which was much louder than usual.

The water surface was also much wider than before, quietly submerging the second beach.

The children dislike the spring thaw season the most, such as heavy snow, because they cannot play in the backyard at this time.

Because of the thawing, the soil in the backyard became sticky and it was muddy wherever you stepped.

Since the thawing began, Yang Qiuyan has forbidden them to play in the backyard.

Children aged five or six are the most naughty. In the spring, Liu Hongjun did not let Xiaotian and other dogs go into the mountains, but it made things convenient for Daxue, Xiaoxingxing and Xiaochenchen.

Every day, I would ride the dog in the backyard and play horse-riding war games with Dashan and Shitou’s son.

It's not just children who dislike the thawing period, adults don't like it either.

When you go out, you step into mud everywhere. Whether you are visiting someone else's house or someone else is visiting your house, the house will be dirty.

Those who are more particular will rub the mud on the soles of their shoes at the door before entering the house. Although it is dirty, it is still better.

Some people were so careless that they just walked into the house and made the floor full of mud.

In the past few days, the radio has been calling on everyone to keep an eye on their children and not let them play by the river.

It is very dangerous to play by the river in spring.

Taipinggou is especially so. Although it is called a ditch, it is actually a river. The deepest part of the river is five or six meters deep, and the widest part is more than thirty meters wide.

People drown in Taipinggou almost every year.

There is a saying that Taipinggou is not peaceful, it is a people-eating Taipinggou.

"Brother Hongjun, when are we going into the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata this year?" Shitou asked Liu Hongjun.

"I called you here to discuss going into the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata." Liu Hongjun said with a smile while eating.

Liu Hongjun invited Qian Shengli, Dashan and Shitou to his home for a family dinner, the main purpose of which was to discuss the matter of going into the mountains.

It's also a good opportunity to keep in touch.

"Brothers of the Red Army, I will follow you into the mountains this year!" Qian Shengli's wife poked her head out from the inner room and said to Liu Hongjun.

"Okay, sister-in-law, if you want to go into the mountains, I have no objection."

"Brother Hongjun, we also want to go into the mountains. Now that the children are grown up, we can ask their grandmother to come over and take care of them for a few days." Dashan's wife and Shitou's wife also spoke up.

Liu Hongjun took a look at the mountains and rocks.

Judging from the situation, the two people should have discussed it long ago, and Dashan and Shitou also know about it.

"Okay! If you are willing to go into the mountains with me and endure the hardships, I have no objection as long as the mountains and rocks are willing to do so." Liu Hongjun said with a smile.

No matter how many people go into the mountains, Liu Hongjun's share of the head money will not be less. The more people there are, the more he will get.

When going into the mountains to hunt, the leader takes his own money first, and the rest is distributed among everyone according to their contribution.

However, we cannot enter the mountains these days and we have to wait a few more days.

The ice has just thawed, and we have to wait a few more days before we can go into the mountains.

Liu Hongjun calculated the time and decided that he could go into the mountains a few times and come back just in time.

By the time spring plowing began, the construction of his mountain villa had also begun. By that time, he had no time to go into the mountains.

After some discussion, everyone decided to go into the mountains on next Saturday. Qian Shengli's wife, Dashan and Shitou all took a day off, stayed in the mountains for one night, and then came back.

Two days are enough to dig tens of thousands of kilograms of Gastrodia elata.

Then come back to rest for a few days and go into the mountains again.

He went into the mountains twice in total, and his family income was higher than that of most villagers in an annual basis.

After the discussion, everyone continued drinking and returned home drunk.

At night, Yang Qiuyan lay in Liu Hongjun's arms and begged softly, "Brother Hongjun, I want to go into the mountains with them, they have all gone into the mountains, I should stay at home.

Some people say that I am too delicate. "

“Our family is different from theirs.

They can ask the old lady to help look after the children, but who will look after our four children?" Liu Hongjun said softly while holding Yang Qiuyan.

"You can ask my mother to come and help look after the child!"

"You are so filial. Your father went to work in the commune, and your two sisters-in-law also moved to the commune, leaving the children in Yushutun to be taken care of by your mother.

Your mother has to take care of seven children now, are you willing to hand over our four children to her as well?" Liu Hongjun reminded with a smile.

"Forget it!" Yang Qiuyan said dejectedly.

Yang Qiuyan was really reluctant to hand over her four children to her mother, and she was not at ease leaving them to her mother.

She felt it was difficult to take care of four children by herself.

Eleven children together could blow the roof off, and her mother couldn't handle it alone.

Time passed quickly and it was time to enter the mountains.

Liu Hongjun and his four companions, plus Qian Shengli's three families, a total of seven people, drove four horse-drawn carriages into the mountains.

Xiaotian and the other dogs were very excited. They trotted all the way and led the way in front of the carriage for everyone.

However, not long after entering the mountains, a few more tails appeared behind the carriage.

"Brother Hongjun, the second boy of the Zhang family, the third boy of the Wang family, as well as Tiedan and a few others, have been following our carriage." Shitou looked back and shouted to Liu Hongjun while holding the walkie-talkie.

Nowadays, Liu Hongjun and his team have upgraded their weapons. They no longer have to shout when going into the mountains, but now have portable walkie-talkies.

"Don't worry about them, let's keep going.

Dashan, go to Huyuegou!" Liu Hongjun said to Shitou, and then gave instructions to Dashan who was walking in front.

"Yeah!" Dashan agreed and drove the carriage forward.

Every time Liu Hongjun and his men went into the mountains, they were like purchasing goods, and they returned with a full load, which made the people in Yushutun jealous.

But they didn’t dare to offend Liu Hongjun before, and they didn’t have the ability to go into the mountains to hunt.

However, this time it was different. Everyone who saw Liu Hongjun and his team go into the mountains knew that they were going into the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata.

Last year, a pound of first-grade Gastrodia elata cost thirty or forty yuan.

This year everyone is more active. As soon as the mountains thawed and the plants began to sprout, some people went into the mountains to dig Gastrodia elata.

However, after last year’s frantic digging, the amount of Gastrodia elata in the nearby mountains has decreased by 70% to 80% this year.

So, some people started to target Liu Hongjun.

I want to follow Liu Hongjun into the mountains and pick up some bargains.

Anyway, this mountain does not belong to you, Liu Hongjun. If you can dig, why can't we?

As for us following you, just kidding. We were here too and just happened to meet you.

It must be said that money can move people's hearts.

So what if I offend Liu Hongjun and Qian Shengli for the sake of making money?

Can they eat themselves?

As for a few curses, you can't lose a piece of meat.

Anyway, as long as you have thick skin, you can have enough food to eat.
