The radishes in May have matured. Some radishes have been artificially planted in the sandy and rocky land on both sides of the river. Now is the time when the roots are strong and can be eaten.

No one would have thought that Qian Yu, a young man, would have a habit of stealing vegetables.

While Zhang Yaoyang was squatting by the river washing his face, this guy came running over happily, carrying four or five big, white radishes.

He was afraid that Zhang Yaoyang didn't know about his great achievements, so he shouted at the top of his voice.

"Zhang Yaoyang, look, there are so many radishes here, hahahaha... they are all free..."

He was quite cheerful, but he didn't know that Zhao Dazhu, a man with a face full of flesh, was walking up behind him.

This guy is the butcher in the village. He usually has a fierce face and doesn't get close to anyone.

If other people dared to plant their radishes in such a crowded place, they would have been pulled to pieces long ago.

But, no one dared to touch the flowers of Zhao Dazhui's family even if they were planted on the main road.

This Qian Yu is really incapable of accomplishing anything and is always causing trouble. Is he tired of eating his own meat that he is actually coveting someone else's broken carrot?

Now, the real owner found out what he was doing and caught up with him, but he was still there, so happy that he didn't know what to do and was drooling all the way.

It can be seen that he is not a good person at heart.

"Zhang Yaoyang, hurry up! Next..."

This guy happily threw two carrots over to Zhang Yaoyang, but he didn't catch them. He just put his hands on his hips and watched the carrots fall to the ground helplessly.

"Oh my! You...really, you're too slow to react!"

Qian Yu complained in disgust, and before he could rush to the river to wash the radishes, someone grabbed his neck and pulled him hard, causing him to fall on his butt.

The river bank was full of pebbles, and when I sat down on them, they hurt my flesh, so I screamed in pain.

"Hey! Who are you? Why are you hitting me?"

"Hiss... my butt, can you afford to pay for it if it's broken?"

In response, Zhao Dazhui slapped him in the face.

"You stole other people's carrots and you dared to shout, you are looking for death!"

When Zhao Dazhu was angry, the murderous aura emanated from him, and even a dog would be scared to death by his presence.

Qian Yu, who was originally quite stupid, finally learned to read people's expressions and act accordingly.

"Brother, don't be angry. I didn't know this carrot was yours. Here, I give it back to you."

He stuffed the radish in his hand back, picked up the two radishes that had fallen to the ground, and sent them back as well.

Then he asked Zhang Yaoyang for help very embarrassedly.

"Say something, you are all from the same village, please ask this man to let me go!"

"Tsk! It's no big deal. I have plenty of money!"

Qian Yu was really speechless. He couldn't get beaten for a few worthless carrots.

Normally, if this kind of thing was washed and put on the table, he wouldn't even bother to look at it.

I was really out of my mind today, I was caught by someone.

Zhang Yaoyang sighed, then stepped forward to negotiate with Zhao Dazhu.

"Dazhuzi, my friend is from Qingyang Town. He doesn't know the rules of the village and didn't mean to offend you. Please give me some face and don't bother with him."

Zhang Yaoyang flipped his wrist, took out two dollars from the warehouse and handed it over.

"This is the carrot money, please accept it!"

Two dollars is enough to buy a bag of radishes. No matter how you look at it, Zhao Dazhu has not lost money.

Facing Zhang Yaoyang, Zhao Dazhui did not take the money, but instead declined it with a smile.

"Since he is Brother Yaoyang's friend, he is also my Dazhu's friend. Just consider this carrot as a treat for him. Let's just leave it at that!"

He got a pound of meat from the Zhang family yesterday and a few radishes today, so he didn't lose anything.

However, although he had forgiven the other party, he did not leave immediately. The 1.9-meter-tall burly man actually scratched the back of his head shyly, as if he had something to say but was unable to start.

Zhang Yaoyang had a good impression of this strong man. He worked efficiently and looked fierce, but he had never bullied the elderly, the weak and the disabled in the village. He was a good man with a straightforward temper.

"Brother Dazhu, if you have anything to say, just say it. We are all from the same village, and I will definitely not refuse to help if I can."

Zhang Yaoyang had already given Zhao Dazhu an excuse, so he was also tactful enough to express his thoughts.

It turned out that he became more excited when he saw the Zhang family successfully entering and exiting the Shiwan Mountains several times.

He is already 28 years old and should have married and had children a long time ago. However, his family is poor and he has never been able to save any money, so he can only be an older bachelor.

It’s also because Zhaojia Village is too poor. The only people who raise pigs are a few village cadres, while the rest of the people don’t even raise chickens, ducks, or geese.

As a butcher, he rarely opens for business throughout the year. Only during the Chinese New Year can one barely hear a few pig squeals.

Everyone is too poor, this is unavoidable, and if we want to change this backward situation, we can only find a way out.

The jobs that can make money quickly around here are either working in dangerous quarries and coal mines, or being a carpenter and making furniture, funeral supplies, etc.

The hardest job is making bricks and tiles. You just need to put in a little mud and sell them after they are successfully made.

The workload is extremely heavy. You can barely bear it when you are young, but you will suffer from a lot of diseases when you are old.

Zhao Dazhui had done all these jobs. Carpentry requires dexterity, but due to his careless personality, he often wasted planks of wood. As a result, he was persuaded to quit the industry just two days after entering it.

When he went down into a coal mine, he once witnessed one of his best friends being buried alive in the tunnel. This trauma left him with a scar and he never dared to go down into a mine again in his life.

He could earn money by mining and chiseling rocks, but it was too hard work. He worked from morning to night and earned only 1 yuan a day, which was barely enough to support himself. But if he wanted to marry a wife, he couldn't even afford one of the three-turn and one-ring wives, let alone the bride price.

Now he suddenly understood that even a woman like Xinghua could make a lot of money, so how was he, Zhao Dazhu, inferior to others? He had to give it a try before making any decision.

Naturally, Zhang Yaoyang was eager to bring more people into the mountains.

There are so many resources in this mountain that he can't harvest them all by himself. It's okay to share some of them to improve everyone's life.

"Brother Zhuzi, I understand your idea. I have something to deal with at home right now, so I won't be going up the mountain for the time being. I'll notify you again around June. When the time comes, you just need to get ready and sign an agreement with me to enter the mountain."

"Okay, then it's settled. When I make some money, I'll treat you to some wine and meat, haha..."

Zhao Dazhu left with great satisfaction. Before leaving, he picked a lot of radishes and threw them on Zhang Yaoyang's tractor.

Qian Yu rubbed his aching coccyx and said angrily, "What kind of person is this? Bah! So rude and stingy. For a few carrots... Tsk tsk tsk tsk... It hurts so much, ouch..."

"You, please control your temper in the village from now on. If you really anger the people here, they will beat you, kill you, and scold you. You deserve it!"

"Tsk... country folk..."

The word Qian Yu said most often was "country bumpkin", and he expressed his arrogance and prejudice without any hesitation.

"One day, you will need help from the country folk. Just wait and see!"

"Look at that! Throw this carrot away! I don't want to see carrots again in my life!"

Zhang Yaoyang likes to conquer those stubborn people the most. That kind of sense of accomplishment can not be obtained even if you spend money.

On that day, the Zhang family's dining table was filled with radishes, including cold shredded radishes, animal bone radish soup, radish cakes, radish meatballs...

It was a gathering of many talented people, all holding a meeting. Qian Yu was so angry that he didn't eat a single bite. He was so angry that he looked like a dumpling, but he was reluctant to leave. After all, the goddess he liked was also eating at the same table.

This is his magic weapon. Even if he has a terrible temper, he can only endure it like a little wife at this moment.
