Dark clouds were rolling in the sky, very low, as if there was some peerless monster hiding in them.

A little bit of rain fell, hitting my face with a cool feeling.

"It looks like it's going to rain again. Okay, I'm going back. You should go back early after you finish feeding the roe deer."

Xu Dahai walked towards the outside of the roe deer pen with the basket in hand.

"Yeah, boss, go slowly."

Long-term worker Yang Weiguo laughed.

Seeing Xu Dahai about to leave, Sun Meihong was a little embarrassed, but she still said:

"Um... boss, I saw that the mushrooms, melons and other things in the yard are ripe. Can I pick some?"

She is also a glutton, looking at the fruits in the back garden every day, she is really greedy.

"Pick it, you can pick whatever you want to eat."

Xu Dahai also laughed instantly. There were so many mushrooms, melons and other things growing in the back garden that he couldn't finish them all.

After watching Xu Dahai leave.

Sun Meihong hurriedly went to pick mushrooms, birds and melons happily, while Yang Weiguo had a helpless smile on his face:

"Since you like to eat, next year we won't plant corn in our yard, but we will also plant mushrooms, birds and melons."

……

the other side.

After Xu Dahai's family of three finished dinner, it started raining outside the window again.

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish

Boundless raindrops fell, wetting the walls, boards and sticks, and the ground. They fell into the water urn in the yard and splashed with water.

Warm interior.

Wang Xiuxiu was sitting on the kang, eating mushrooms and birds. The fat orange cat was lying on her lap, snoring beautifully.

"Xiaohai, how much did you spend to buy this ginseng?"

"Twelve thousand. If you include the five hundred yuan given to Wu Laoer, it will be twelve thousand five hundred yuan."

Xu Dahai sat on the other side of the earthen kang, holding an open ginseng bun in his hand. Inside the birch bark was moss, and inside the moss were ginseng soil and ginseng.

Wild ginseng is long and thin, small in size, with complete ginseng whiskers, and the bottom bifurcation is like two human legs.

Next to the ginseng are stems and leaves, which are indeed two palm-shaped compound leaves.

"Xie Qingyun wants [-] yuan! Hey, if I had taken the initiative to find him a few days ago, I might have really agreed to give him [-] yuan!

Now that he has found Xu Jiatun'er, naturally he can't pay his price! "

Xu Dahai was filled with joy and carefully rewrapped the ginseng, feeling that he had saved [-] yuan.

Wang Xiuxiu also laughed, grabbed a handful of mushrooms and handed them to Xu Dahai:

"Eat the mushroom bird. This mushroom bird is so sweet."

Best for sleeping on a rainy day.

The air is cool.

Listening to the rustling rain outside, I felt particularly quiet and without any distracting thoughts, and soon the family of three fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

Xu Dahai rode a motorcycle to the countryside. He planned to sell the sixth-grade wild ginseng to Zhao Yejun in exchange for some money so that he could buy antiques from Japan.

In this era, China's economy was underdeveloped, so the prices of antiques lost overseas were not high, so it was just a good idea to buy some back.

It can be regarded as making some contributions to the return of antiques.

Arrive at Dafu Hotel.

As a result, he called Zhao Yejun, but no one answered, so he planned to send a telegram.

"Wait a minute, I have some good stuff here. Do you want to take some back?"

Old Wu was getting richer and richer, and he waved quickly when he saw that he was about to leave.

"What good stuff?"

Xu Dahai followed Lao Wu to the kitchen with doubts. As the latter bent down and opened a basket, he saw inside were large crabs tied with thin ropes.

"Crab? Where did it come from?"

"It was shipped from Dalian. Don't tell me that I didn't miss you. It just arrived this morning. It costs 5 cents each. How much do you want?"

"Five cents? Robbery?"

"Hey! It was Sun Guangcai who brought it here. It was just a coincidence. He was also responsible for the robbery... It's really not expensive. You don't need the money..."

"Okay, let's get fifteen, keep them in the books, and we'll settle them together at the end of the year."

"Yeah, I'll pick the bigger one for you."

He put the picked crabs in a basket. Before Xu Dahai left, he urged Lao Wu to write a book quickly. He had already read all the contents written by the latter.

"Okay, okay, I'll write quickly."

Old Wu quickly agreed.

After leaving Dafu Hotel, Xu Dahai went to the post and telecommunications office. After sending a telegram to Zhao Yejun in Yanjing, he bought some White Rabbit toffee from the supply and marketing cooperative.

gallop all the way.

The rice fields on both sides were swaying in the breeze, and toads were chirping constantly.

After returning to Xujiatun, I happened to see Xiao Shitou, Xiao Doubao and a group of other children playing Paji.

clap ~ clap ~

There are big and small bangs, and the dust on the ground is flying.

"Little Shitou, you guys come here!"

"Uncle Hai, what's wrong?"

The children's eyes lit up and they ran over quickly.

Xu Dahai tore open a large bag of White Rabbit toffees, grabbed two handfuls and distributed them to the children. Then he put away the remaining White Rabbit toffees and left on his motorcycle.

The children ate the sweet White Rabbit toffee, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, the birds flying by, and looked down at the wild flowers and grass on the roadside, where grasshoppers were jumping and ants crawling.

I feel like childhood is so happy! !

……

My mother was about to grab firewood for cooking when she suddenly saw Xu Dahai parked at the door on a motorcycle.

"Are you riding a motorcycle?"

"I took a trip to the countryside. Here, I also bought some crabs."

"What?"

Xu Dahai took off the basket on his back, carried it into the house, and placed a big crab with its legs tied on the grate.

"Oh my God! What is this?!"

This was the first time in my life that my mother had seen a crab. She immediately laughed and exclaimed, calling her father Xu Houtian and grandma to come out and watch.

Father Xu Houtian took two puffs of cigarette and pretended to be profound: "It's a big spider."

Xu Dahai immediately laughed: "It's not a spider, it's a crab. Don't untie the rope, just steam it directly on the grate, just like steaming steamed buns.

Don't leave it uneaten. If it's dead, you can't eat it. Just steam it later. "

Nine crabs were put down for my mother's yard, and the remaining six were carried to his own yard.

I steamed six crabs at noon.

The little girl loved to eat it, and some of the crab roe even got on her cheeks.

"Eat slowly, there is still more."

Xu Dahai peeled off a shell of crab meat and handed it to the little girl.

My wife Wang Xiuxiu was also eating crabs, but seeing that my daughter loved them so much, she stopped eating after finishing one:

"Have you spoken to Zhao Yejun?"

"I didn't get through, but I sent him a telegram."

"How much does this ginseng tree cost?" Wang Xiuxiu asked curiously.

"I estimate... no less than 10 yuan!"

"so much?"

"Not much. Sixth-grade wild ginseng is too rare."

……

Yanjing.

Zhao Yejun stayed overnight in a farmhouse in Haidian. After returning to his home in the city, he saw the telegram sent by the postman.

"Sixth-grade wild ginseng?? Hiss~ What a good thing! You must get it!"

He felt that something was truly pie-in-the-sky!
