The air was suddenly quiet.

Xu Dahai's hand holding the wine glass was hanging in the air, and he couldn't help but look at Shen Feng with admiration.

"What's wrong? Do you think what I said makes sense?" Shen Feng looked proud, and the bumps on his fat face became clearer:

"Actually, I was more playful when I was in school. Otherwise, wouldn't I be able to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University with my hands in my hand?

I’m not bragging. I didn’t go to Tsinghua and Peking University. It’s Tsinghua and Peking University’s loss! "

"Okay, okay, fat man, please stop using your magical powers. There will be cows floating in the sky!"

Xu Dahai was the first to laugh, and Shen Feng also joined in the laughter. Emily didn't quite understand, but she was inspired and laughed too, and the atmosphere was very happy for a while.

After another night of sleep.

Xu Dahai took the train home.

September 1985, 9, Sunday, this day is Bailu.

Generally, after the white dew, ginseng farmers will start selling ginseng one after another.

First wash it, then steam it and then dry it. The ginseng that has been growing for six years will turn into light red, which is red ginseng!

Xu Dahai took advantage of the few days before September 9 to split up with his cousin Xu Hubing and ride on the 8 big bar from rural to rural, reaching as far as the countryside in Mengjiang County next door.

It’s the ginseng farmers who are harvesting red ginseng for others, and it costs 78 yuan per pound!It is much higher than the 70-75 yuan charged by the medicinal material company.

of course.

The collection of red ginseng will be much faster this year. It is estimated that it can be completed within a month, unlike last year, which took several months.

Because the time is short, the ginseng farmers are patient enough to afford the wait, so no deposit is required.

Time flies by like a blink of an eye, and September 1985, 9 arrives in the blink of an eye.

The sunset in the evening bloomed with brilliant rays of light, dyeing the clouds on the horizon red, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Wang Wang Wang ~"

Sudden.

A sound of dog barking came from the dirt road to the west, and four hunting dogs were seen running past quickly, their ears puckered and their tongues sticking out, very excited.

Xu Dahai came back from fishing, carrying a basket full of big fish. The lightest one weighed about 3 kilograms, and the heaviest one weighed 7 to 8 kilograms.

The red light of the setting sun shines on the fine fish scales, which emit a bright light.

"father!"

The autumn wind was bleak, and the little girl was sitting on a small bench in the yard, watching the ants move.

Four dogs were jumping around her, their tails wagging fast. The little girl was avoiding the dogs and running in the direction of Xu Dahai on her short legs.

He ran forward and threw himself into Xu Dahai's arms.

"Why are you playing in the yard? Is it cold?"

"It's not cold!" The little girl raised her little head and whispered: "Dad, I want to eat White Rabbit toffee."

Xu Dahai was instantly happy.

Wang Xiuxiu doesn't let the little girl eat too much sweets because she is afraid of damaging her teeth.

"Where's mom?"

"We are gathering grass in the backyard."

Xu Dahai put the fish in the basket into the water urn first, and the overflowing water flowed to the ground, moistening it.

After entering the house, take the key from the wall, open the cabinet and take out a piece of White Rabbit toffee from the candy bag.

The little girl's eyes were shining, but she looked at Xu Dahai and pouted:

"Just one piece? Quick! Get another piece! Dad is the best, take it, just get another piece."

"You little girl is really greedy, okay, okay, I'll give you an extra piece. Okay, let's go play."

After handing two pieces of White Rabbit toffee to the little girl and touching her little head, Xu Dahai went to the backyard.

The little girl peeled off the candy wrapper and stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth. She looked around randomly and finally hid another piece of White Rabbit candy under the Kang mat.

……

When Xu Dahai came to the backyard, he happened to see Wang Xiuxiu standing next to the sugar cane field talking to Rong Chenglin's wife.

Rong Chenglin's wife carried a basket on her back. In the basket, in addition to a sickle, a few handfuls of grass, and a large pumpkin with a curved neck.

If you look carefully at her trouser legs, you can see that there is still mud on the uppers of her shoes. It seems that she has just returned from Beiwa.

The two-meter-high green sugar cane is as thick as a finger and is almost ripe. When the wind blows, the leaves make a rustling sound when they collide with each other.

"Yo~ That guy from your family is here!"

Rong Chenglin's wife was very talkative. When she saw Xu Dahai, she immediately smiled and said:

"Xiaohai, I've been eyeing these sweet poles of yours for a long time!"

"Come and eat when it's cooked. Eat whatever you want! Eat as much as you want!" Xu Dahai stepped on the back of the border and walked over with a smile.

Rong Chenglin's wife burst out laughing instantly, brightly, and Wang Xiuxiu also pursed her lips and smiled.

"Is Brother Cheng Lin at home?"

"How can he go to work if he's not at home? He's at home." Rong Chenglin's wife curled her lips: "Brother Cheng Lin is very lazy. If only he could be more diligent, life would be much better."

"I, Brother Cheng Lin, am very diligent."

Xu Dahai said with a smile: "Don't cook for me, Brother Cheng Lin, tonight. I asked him to come to my courtyard to eat, just in time to discuss something with him."

Rong Chenglin's wife's eyes moved slightly. She guessed it was about making money, so she instantly became happy.

A gentle breeze blew away the smoke.

After stewing a big carp in the evening, Xu Dahai called his cousins ​​Xu Hu, Rong Chenglin, and Xu Yeliang to his home.

Drinking wine, eating fish and meat, so happy.

With the wine in his ears, Xu Dahai expressed his thoughts:

“I went to Yanjing a few days ago and was introduced by a friend to the owner of a traditional Chinese medicine store. He wanted to buy some red ginseng produced in our hometown.

This is such a great job, I immediately thought of you guys!

Round-trip travel expenses, meals, and accommodation expenses are all reimbursed, and a hard-earned fee of 200 yuan is given!You can come back in two or three days, how about it?Do you want to do it or not? "

"What are we going to do? Carrying red ginseng?"

"That's right. Each of us carries 40 to 50 kilograms of red ginseng. We can carry all the red ginseng the other party wants in one trip."

"This job is pretty easy, right? How about 200 yuan!?" Xu Hu stared, looked at Rong Chenglin, and then at Xu Yeliang.

There was shock in the eyes of the three people. When did it become so easy to make money?It's a piece of cake that falls from the sky.

Forest farms and rural slaughterhouses occasionally hire some part-time workers, but they have to work about 12 hours a day, which is very tiring, and the money is only 1 to 1.5 yuan.

Mostly 1 yuan.

Even so, there are still many people rushing to do it!There's no way around it, there are too many idle people - and what's even more outrageous is that some even give gifts in order to do this kind of part-time work.

The air was quiet for a while.

The three of them were not fools, and they quickly understood that Xu Dahai paid the high price because he deliberately took care of them.

Instantly, the atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more lively. The three people took turns toasting to Xu Dahai, and finally made the latter drunk.

By the time the three of them returned home happily, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

"Do you want to vomit? I'll get you a basin." Wang Xiuxiu patted Xu Dahai on the back with a distressed look, asked him to lean against the door frame to stop him from falling, and quickly went to get the basin.

vomit~vomit~

Xu Dahai opened his throat and spit it out. After spitting it out, he felt instantly relaxed.

Wang Xiuxiu poured a bowl of water for him to rinse his mouth, and then quickly poured out the dirty things he spit out.

After coming back, I prepared a wet towel to wipe his face, and said gently: "Can I make you a bowl of brown sugar water? Do you want to drink it?"
