Siheyuan: The road to counterattack for the little transparent

Si'er took the cloth coupons handed over by Lin Donglai, and after checking that the quantity matched, he quickly put them in his pocket, as if he was afraid that he would regret it.

It has to be said that the mountain products that Si'er brought back alone were worth that of several people. Lin Donglai was very satisfied.

This amount of mountain products is enough for the small canteen to use for a while, but this is still a good season for picking mushrooms, so I guess some people in the village still have some.

Besides, these things are durable and, if stored properly, can be kept for a whole year without any problem. Collecting more will save you the trouble later.

Thinking of this, Lin Donglai turned around and asked the old man: "Uncle, is there any other family in our village that has as many goods as Si'er?"

Si'er was watching the excitement in the crowd with the cloth coupons in his pocket. When he heard Lin Donglai's words, he came forward and said, "Dongla, I know about this."

"My old man went into the mountains with me, and he also picked a lot of mushrooms and fungus. Wait for me, I will go back and call him."

As soon as he finished speaking, he grinned and ran back to the village quickly.

Seeing this, the uncle whispered in Lin Donglai's ear: "Si Er and Xiao Wu are brothers. These two young men are good at hunting in the mountains and collecting mountain products."

"I heard that they can't finish eating all the mountain products they get every year, and they can often exchange some food and daily necessities with buyers from the city."

"But Xiaowu is even more stubborn than Si'er. I don't know what he wants to exchange his mountain products for. Donglai, you have to be mentally prepared."

Lin Donglai smiled and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I can handle it."

When Si'er led his younger brother and came over carrying a bag of dry goods, Lin Donglai looked at this equally dark and thin country man and fell into deep thought.

Xiaowu looks and is similar in height to Si'er, but the difference is that he only has one good eye, and the other eye is just a black hole.

There is a long scar next to the black hole, and no one knows what injury left it. The whole person looks a little gloomy and cautious.

Seeing Xiaowu arrive at the entrance of the village, the villagers unconsciously dispersed. Xiaowu saw his uncle Donglai and called out, "Uncle Fugui."

The uncle smiled and nodded, then pulled Lin Dong over and said, "Xiao Wu, this is my nephew Lin Donglai. You can sell your mountain products to him."

Xiao Wu looked at Lin Donglai and asked him bluntly, "Lin Donglai, I want to exchange my bag of mountain products for kerosene and sugar coupons. Do you have any?"

Si'er on the side pulled him and motioned Xiaowu to look at the cloth coupons in his hand. Xiaowu took a look and didn't have any special expression.

Lin Donglai thought Xiaowu would make some special requests, but he didn't expect his request to be so common. He immediately smiled:

"Brother Xiaowu, what a coincidence! I also brought these two types of tickets today. Let's weigh them first to check their weight."

As he spoke, the old man standing nearby picked up Xiaowu's bag of mountain products and was about to put it on the scale, but he was rejected by Xiaowu: "No, just tell me the number."

At this time, the old man had already opened the bag. Lin Donglai took a quick look and said to himself: They are indeed brothers. Even the goods they pick are equally good.

After reporting the number, Xiao Wu did not refuse and stretched out his hand to take the ticket. Lin Donglai quickly counted and put it in his hand.

The boy turned around and walked towards the village without saying a word. After taking two steps, he turned back and walked up to Lin Donglai and said:

"I know a place that has a lot of them. I'll pick them, dry them and keep them for you. I'll come back and trade them with you next time. Is that okay?"

This was such a great thing, Lin Donglai naturally did not refuse, and nodded happily: "That's great, Brother Xiaowu, thank you so much!"

Xiaowu felt very friendly when looking at this well-mannered young man, and felt comfortable when hearing him calling him brother again and again.

He couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. Maybe it was because he hadn't smiled for a long time, but this smile stunned Si'er who was standing beside him.

After escaping from an encounter with a blind bear in the mountains, Xiaowu's personality changed drastically. Not only did he no longer have a smile on his face, he also became much weirder.

Maybe it was because he was missing an eye, but he would often fly into a rage when villagers said something he didn’t like.

As time went by, no one in the village was willing to approach him or talk to him. Only his elder brother Si'er persisted in doing so, for he was afraid that he would stay at home all day and have wild thoughts.

Whenever people go up the mountain to collect mountain products, they will call him along, and he puts all his energy into this. As long as the season is right, he will go into the mountains without fear of the hardship and heat.

As the saying goes, no pain, no gain. The four brothers ran farther than others, worked harder than others, so naturally the harvest was better than others.

Si'er often used mountain products to exchange for food and clothing for his family. As long as the price was right, he would sell it to the buyers who came to the village.

But Xiaowu is different. He looks at people and will only sell mountain products to people he likes.

If he doesn't like the person who comes to collect the goods, no matter how high the offer is, he will take it and take it back in the same condition, that's why Uncle Donglai calls him stubborn.

Obviously, Lin Donglai caught his eye, so Xiaowu not only sold the goods to him, but also showed him a long-lost smile.

Seeing this, Si'er smiled and showed his white teeth: "Uncle Fugui, Donglai and our Xiaowu are destined to be together. I haven't seen him smile for a long time."

"Dongla, my son Xiaowu and I will go into the mountains to collect mountain products again. We will keep them for you."

Lin Donglai was very happy to hear all this, so he naturally agreed and promised that he could get any ordinary ticket and would come again after a while.

After noon, Lin Donglai collected two large bags full of mountain products. Among them, the products of Si'er and Xiaowu were the best and they were priced higher.

Some families generally have smaller quantities of goods, so the prices are naturally lower. After he explained it clearly, the villagers had no objection to what he said, so the progress went smoothly.

When Lin Donglai and his uncle each carried a bag of mountain products and walked back home, Sha Zhu and Lingzi had been waiting in the yard for a while.

After putting their things away, they went to Lingzi's house for lunch.

Lingzi's family made a dish of shredded radish and stir-fried cabbage, plus a small bowl of scrambled eggs and bacon. These dishes were considered quite rich in the village.

This also shows how much Lingzi's family values ​​Shazhu's first visit. Shazhu also does a good job, pouring tea and wine and saying nice things all the time.

Finally, at the dinner table, he got Lingzi's parents to agree: when they returned to the city today, the old couple and Lingzi would go with him to take a look around the city.

He also entrusted Lin Donglai's uncle and his wife to help take care of the chickens, ducks and dogs at home.

Hearing this, Sha Zhu smiled so much that his face almost turned into a flower and his mouth never closed.

After dinner, he rushed to clean up the dishes and wipe the tables and chairs, completely treating himself as a member of the family.

After Lingzi and her parents packed their bags and tidied the house, they went to Lin Donglai's uncle's house with Sha Zhu.

At this time, Lin Donglai was trying to persuade his uncle and aunt to go into the city as well, but he didn't expect that no matter what he said, the old couple were unwilling to go.

In desperation, I had to give up.

They sat in the yard and drank some tea. When the sun was not so hot, they packed their belongings and prepared to return to the city.
