Fortunately, the notice was given in time, and the motherwort was no longer collected. The purchase of prickly ash and wild chives was allowed. However, there were not many wild chives. Three sites could only collect 500 to 600 kilograms a day. Any more would be gone. After all, wild chives are not grown in farmland, so there are not so many. Moreover, they must be harvested, not dug out. The roots can grow in the soil for a while.

When my mother stopped collecting dandelions at home, Liu Xia Lian, Cui Ge and Daya also brought wild vegetables to the train platform.

Manager Yang was so worried that the platform loaders went home.

The person in charge of the platform said, "I'm sorry, Lao Yang, you can move it up by yourself. The workers have gone home after get off work."

Old Yang stamped his feet in anger: "How can I be that capable? If I had the strength to load trucks, why would I come out to do business? It would be much better for me to be a laborer in my hometown."

The person in charge of Tie Lao Da didn't give Manager Yang any face. He just said, "You can pretend or not, it's up to you." He is the absolute Tie Lao Da these days and there is no doubt about it.

Liu Xia Lian saw that Lao Yang was in a dilemma: "It's not a big deal, we will help you install it."

Old Yang was stunned with astonishment. These three men were so efficient and strong, much stronger than loaders. It only took them more than twenty minutes to arrange the two trucks of goods neatly.

Old Yang reached into his pocket and took out twenty yuan: "Sister Xia Lian, please treat the three of you to a meal. I won't accompany you. I will leave by train in a while."

"Boss Yang, you're too polite. I'll take it then."

Liu Xialian took the money, and the three of them went straight to the fried chicken restaurant. It was rush hour, so they couldn't eat fried chicken, and no boss could cause trouble for his own chef.

There were a few simple dishes, including pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, stir-fried pork slices with green peppers, scrambled eggs with prickly ash, and cold-mixed dandelions.

Brother Cui was a little surprised to see so many dishes: "Boss, do you often eat like this? There are too many dishes, it's a bit extravagant."

"Right, we have to eat until we are full. We definitely won't eat like this when conditions are not right, but Manager Yang gave us 20 yuan for dinner tonight, so we three have to have a good meal. Daya can eat two-thirds of the meal by herself. If I were you, I would eat quickly. Don't blame me if you can't finish it later."

Sure enough, Daya’s way of eating was somewhat unexpected. She ate corn cakes with the vegetables.

All four dishes were served in large portions, but even so, they were all gone after 20 minutes.

Daya picked up the last piece of egg and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief: "Thank you, sister. I'm full."

The waiter brought another packaged dish of pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, and Liu Xia Lian handed it to Brother Cui.

"Take this dish back home for my wife and children."

This dish cost several dollars, and Cui Yongchuan felt a little embarrassed.

"No need, boss. There's food at home."

"Take it and go back early. You have a lot to do tomorrow."

Brother Cui said, "There is no place to park the tractor near my house. Why don't we stay at the hotel? That way we can leave earlier tomorrow. My house is five or six miles away from here. If I get up early tomorrow, there won't be a tricycle. It would be a waste of time to come here."

"It's okay. I'm not Zhou Paopi. Go back early. It's not far. Just run back by yourself. I won't see you off."

Brother Cui carried the stewed pork ribs with sauerkraut and took a walk. In just over half an hour, he arrived at the door of the unit. The lights in the house were still on. Among thousands of lights, there is always one that is lit for you.

Knocked on the door: "Dad is back."

After a while, a boy's childish voice came from inside: "The moon shines brightly in front of the bed."

“I feel anxious when I don’t have money.”

The code matched and the door opened.

The two children were stacking building blocks, and the daughter-in-law was arranging the dandelions.

"Have you eaten?" Cui Yongchuan asked.

"I have eaten. Have you eaten? If not, I will heat up some food for you."

"I've eaten. My boss treated us today. He packed me a portion of pickled cabbage and pork ribs before I left. You guys can have some."

When my wife and two children heard that it was pork ribs stewed with sauerkraut, their mouths watered.

Nowadays, ordinary people only buy fatty meat. Who would be willing to buy pork ribs? They are a delicacy.

The child said, "Dad, I want to eat ribs."

Brother Cui opened the ribs and said, "Put it in the pot and heat it up before eating. Don't put it away. Dad's job is very profitable now, and our family has a good life. Don't force yourself to eat without suffering."

The two children were really greedy. They watched their mother heating up the dishes and put their fingers in their mouths. The mother and her two children had a delicious meal again.

The wife was chewing on the ribs and said as she ate, "I heard them say that all bosses of private companies are Zhou Paopi. It seems that's not always the case, right?"

Cui Yongchuan shook his head: "No, it's just a small part."

The next day after returning to Lijiatun, Brother Cui had to drive to the county town.

Liu Xia Lian arranged, "Daya, you were tired yesterday and didn't sleep well. Go back and have a rest."

"Okay, sis. But where are you going?"

"I will go to Xujiatun later to pick up my grandfather and go to the forest farm to start making kimchi. Three hundred vats are already in place."

Daya shook her head and said, "Xujiatun is a bit far away. It's more than 30 miles along the way. It's easy to encounter bears in spring. Let Erya go with you. Erya is very strong and can beat up a bear."

"Okay. Then take Arya with you. My grandpa is too old to ride a tractor. I'll drive a horse-drawn carriage to pick him up."

There is a new member today, it is the lynx that came to steal the house a few days ago. It was beaten half to death by Liu Xia Lian, and then thrown into the space to be rescued. After being tamed, it has now become a well-behaved Dahua.

In order to distinguish them from wild ones, a wolf-proof iron spike collar is put around their necks.

Liu Xia Lian, Er Ya, a dog and a lynx got on the big blue horse carriage. At the beginning, the big blue horse was a little afraid of Da Hua. Although Da Hua weighed only about fifty pounds, its fighting power was very strong. Only a strong hunting dog like Da Huang who had been through many battles could control it. Any other dog would be killed in minutes.

The road to my grandma's house is quite long. It's still 20 miles north of Zhangjiatun. The road is rugged and narrow, and two carriages have to slow down when passing each other. There are towering red pines on both sides of the road. This place is really nice. There is a big harvest here when picking pine cones in autumn.

Suddenly, the big blue horse stopped. It was now in the second trimester of pregnancy and had become extremely cautious. It would not move at the slightest disturbance. Its ears would shake back and forth and it would snort from time to time.

Da Huang jumped out of the car, went to scout ahead, and soon came back wagging his tail. Liu Xia Lian picked up her rifle and followed to see that it was a mother wild boar with her three babies. The piglets were not big, only about 50 to 60 kilograms, and should have been born last spring.

Liu Xia Lian waved her hands and said, "Da Huang, Da Hua, catch a small one and bring it over."

Dahuang rushed over quickly. The wild boar grunted twice and called the baby pigs to the back of its body. This was a sow weighing more than 200 kilograms. She didn't take Dahuang seriously at all. She looked at him provocatively a few times and turned around and left.
