Rebirth 1984 Wife and children are on the hot bed

In the vast old forest of Changbai Mountain.

Xu Dahai climbed up an old pine tree two arms thick like a monkey.

In a trance.

It seemed as if he had returned to the happy days when he was a child, climbing trees and digging out bird's nests with his friends.

Ok.

Some snakes will climb up trees to steal bird eggs, and some children will dig out bird nests and pull out a long worm spitting out eggs... It is simply a childhood nightmare.

"Okay, just stay in this position, Xiu Xiu, hand me the pole."

Xu Dahai wrapped the rope around his waist around the tree trunk, slowly squatted down, and asked Wang Xiuxiu under the tree for the pole.

Wang Xiuxiu raised her head, lifted the long wooden pole and handed it to him, telling him again to be careful.

clap clap ~

The pine cones were knocked down one by one, and some could fly very far.

After beating for a while, he stopped and asked Wang Xiuxiu under the tree to pick it up for a while, then asked her to stand farther away while Xu Dahai on the tree continued to beat.

It was about three o'clock in the afternoon.

Xu Dahai carefully climbed down from the tree, looked at the two piles of pine cones on the ground, and said with a smile:

"Looking at these two large piles of pine cones, I estimate they weigh about two hundred pounds."

"Is there that much?" Wang Xiuxiu wiped the sweat on her forehead, and she was very happy to see what the two had gained in a day.

"That's about it. Come on, I even brought a camera. You sit on the pine cone and I'll take a picture of you."

Wang Xiuxiu sat on the pine cone with her legs together, smiling all over her face. The dappled sunlight filtered through the branches and fell on her body and the pine cone.

click~

Press the shutter and the picture freezes.

"Come on, Xiaohai, give me the camera and I'll take a picture for you too."

In addition to sitting on the pine cone, Xu Dahai also hugged the dog's neck, or climbed up the pine tree, click, click, click! Wang Xiuxiu took several pictures of him in succession.

"Okay, let's go home."

"Yeah, let's pack two sacks, and each of us will carry one sack."

"No, use this stick as a pole, just tie a sack to one end of the pole."

soon.

Xu Dahai carried the pole, Wang Xiuxiu carried other odds and ends, and headed down the mountain with the four dogs.

On the way.

swoosh~

The head dog's green-backed ears suddenly stood up, and he suddenly jumped into the grass on the right. When he came out again, the dog had a fat rabbit in its mouth.

After catching the autumn fat rabbit, it is really fat!

This silly rabbit thought that the dog couldn't find it, so it cowered in the grass and refused to run away. Unexpectedly, it was caught directly.

"Haha, what a good dog! Feed you more meat at night!"

Xu Dahai patted the dog's head as a sign of encouragement, while Qing Bei smiled with a squinted look of benefit.

I stewed the rabbit in the evening.

The cold wind blows outside the window, and the family is eating delicious rabbit meat in a warm house. Not to mention how comfortable it is!

Xiao Tingzi eats quickly.

When I was full, I took a big pine cone and sat on a small bench, and started to pick the pine nuts inside.

After you finish grilling, you still have to count them.

"How many pine nuts are there?" Xu Dahai lay on the kang while Wang Xiuxiu massaged his waist.

"125 pills... No, I ate one just now, it should be 126 pills!"

"Hmm, the pine cone you picked up weighs only six liang, so it's not a small amount. Today, there were a few really big pine cones. If you don't believe me, ask your mother."

"Really? How old are you!?"

The little girl's curiosity was instantly aroused.

Wang Xiuxiu massaged Xu Dahai's waist and said with a smile: "It's at the mouth of the second bag. I'll get it for you."

She went to the warehouse and came back with six large pine cones in her arms, each of which was more than 6 centimeters tall.

The tallest one is 25 centimeters tall and weighs almost a pound and a half.

The little girl's eyes were shining and she quickly took over the big pine cone.

"Three pounds of pine cone can produce one pound of raw pine nuts. The largest pine cone can probably produce half a pound of pine nuts."

Raw pine nuts are also edible.

It's like eating raw peanuts, less oily and less fragrant, but moist and has a slightly sweet taste.

The family of three was chatting while eating raw pine nuts. After a while, someone shouted from outside. It turned out that it was Bugao and his mother who came to visit.

Have a leisurely chat, drink tea, and eat raw pine nuts.

Listening to the cold wind outside, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable.

The two of them played here for more than an hour before they got up and left.

Autumn passes quickly.

Xu Dahai and Wang Xiuxiu often go into the mountains, in addition to picking mushrooms, picking mountain grapes, soft dates, breaking pine cones, whole hazelnuts, pecans and other things.

I also took photos in the mountains, walked around, played here and there, and relaxed.

Changbai Mountain is colorful in autumn. Coupled with some large rocks, small rivers in the mountains, etc., there are simply too many beautiful scenery.

It's just that most people in this era are struggling for food and clothing, and they don't have the mood to appreciate these beautiful scenery.

If asked, they will probably reply - it's just a broken mountain!What's there to see?If you have that time, you might as well take a break.

of course.

Throughout the autumn, Xu Dahai did not just "live".

Although the control was getting tighter, he still bought red ginseng from his second uncle and third uncle's family, as well as Xiao Aihong, a one-eyed man from Mengjiang County, and finally collected 500 kilograms of red ginseng.

The cost price is 100 yuan per catty, and the total cost is 5 yuan.

This year, the county medicinal materials company purchased red ginseng for 82 yuan per pound.

Precisely because you can earn an extra 18 yuan per pound, some ginseng farmers choose to take some risks and sell their red ginseng to speculators like Xu Dahai.

of course.

Xu Dahai did not treat the one-eyed man badly, Xiao Aihong, and gave Xiao Aihong 1000 yuan as hard work fee.

"Why is this so embarrassing? Haha~"

She said she was embarrassed, but Xiao Aihong's hands were very quick and she took the money directly.

"Brother, you should be open and honest in your work!! You don't have to say anything. If you ever need me in the future, just ask!

In this three-acre land in Mengjiang County, I, Lao Xiao, still have some respect! ! "

Lao Xiao slapped his chest loudly. In addition to the money, he could also feel Xu Dahai's sincerity and felt that the latter was someone he could make friends with.

Mengjiang County and Baisong County are two counties that are geographically adjacent to each other and both produce ginseng.

Xu Dahai's relatives and friends are mainly in Baisong County.

Here in Mengjiang County, he is only Lao Xiao's friend.

"Okay! Let's have a drink together some other time!"

After saying goodbye to Lao Xiao, he drove the tractor and pulled the red ginseng home.

I left 20 kilograms of red ginseng to give to my grandparents, grandparents, mother-in-law, father-in-law, and other relatives and friends.

He sold all the remaining 480 kilograms of red ginseng to Han Yuanmin, the owner of the Yanjing medicinal material store "Jishitang".

I went to Yanjing twice with Xu Hu, Xu Yeliang, Rong Chenglin, Ma Liang, brother-in-law Wang Renqing, brother-in-law Wang Renhe, and second brother-in-law Wang Renbing.

The price is 310 yuan per pound, and 480 pounds of red ginseng costs 14 yuan.

It cost a total of 5 yuan to buy red ginseng.

Even excluding the money given to Lao Xiao, as well as the money given to Xu Yeliang, Wang Renqing and others, as well as transportation tickets, accommodation, meals and other miscellaneous expenses.

In the end, Xu Dahai did the math and found that the net profit was more than 9 yuan, plus 5 kilograms of red ginseng at home.
