I Lead the Whole Village out of Poverty and into Prosperity Chapter 306: Great Son

The smile in front of me was very gentle, and seemed full of intimacy.

But Huang Yousheng already understood very clearly that if his answer did not satisfy the other party, the other party's expression would change faster than anything else.

So, he quickly said, "It's planted! It's really planted!"

The tall and thin man raised his eyebrows and said, "Take us to see it."

Huang Yousheng pointed to the piece of land in front of the yard, where there were dozens of nests that Brother Sheng had led him to dig yesterday morning.

He thought to himself, this should be an explanation.

"It's right here. I've already started making ridges and nests."

The tall and thin man took a serious look, then sighed and said calmly, "Fight."

Huang Yousheng felt a chill in his heart when he heard this. He squatted down skillfully, holding his head and enjoying the beating.

After hitting him a few times, the tall and thin man called a halt, squatted down and said to Huang Yousheng: "I'll give you one day. Plant this piece of soil today, otherwise... otherwise, I don't need to say anything more, right?"

"Okay, okay. No need to say more!" Huang Yousheng did not dare to be negligent and nodded quickly.

"Okay, I'll come back this afternoon. Don't ask others for help!" The tall and thin man smiled, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, handed one to Huang Yousheng, smiled and patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work."

Huang Yousheng couldn't help but shudder, "It's not hard, it's what I should do, it's what I should do."

After the three men turned around and left until they were out of sight, Huang Yousheng, who had been squatting, seemed to have lost his strength. He fell to the ground and gasped heavily.

After catching his breath, he lit a cigarette and looked at the ground in front of him silently.

After finishing a cigarette, he had no choice but to get up and go to the field to start his forced vegetable-growing career.

Fortunately, Brother Sheng was an expert and placed the seedlings under the shade of the trees on the roadside. The sun was not very strong in the past two days, and although the seedlings were wilted and about to die, they were not completely dead yet. Huang Yousheng quickly followed Brother Sheng's instructions and planted the seedlings.

Then he fetched a bucket of water to water the fields, and then slowly planted the seeds.

It is rare to have scorching sun in Shu, but the temperature in summer is really not low. Huang Yousheng, who has almost never worked, was sweating profusely and panting. He wanted to give up several times, but when he thought of that gentle smiling face, he shivered and seemed not so hot or tired anymore.

Fortunately, this piece of land is not very big. I work for a while, rest for a while, and go back to have lunch in the middle. After five or six hours, the basic farming is completed.

Huang Yousheng carried his things back to the yard, threw them on the ground, and then, with his hands full of blisters, he slumped over in a chair, gasping for breath.

It is no exaggeration to say that the amount of labor done in one day today is equivalent to that done in several years in the past.

Before he could catch his breath, the three tall and thin men arrived as promised, took a look, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, it seems that fists are really more effective than words!"

He shrugged, "Let's go. Come back another day."

The two people behind him looked at Huang Yousheng with regret, which scared Huang Yousheng very much.

After the three of them had walked for about ten minutes, the sound of a tricycle was heard not far from the house, and soon after, the old lady came back.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I saw the hoes, buckets and other farm tools in the yard. I was stunned and said, "Son, what are you doing with these things? Hey, aren't these the hoes in our house?"

Huang Yousheng said lazily, "It's ours. Brother Sheng gave it to us."

"Hey, Yousheng too, why send us a hoe? We can't use it."

The old woman had been busy all day and was quite tired. As she put these things away, she was complaining a little bit.

"Why can't I use them? How can I farm without these things?"

The old woman paused when she heard this, then gave a bitter smile, thinking that she must have become hard of hearing in advance and she dared to think of all kinds of nonsense.

Huang Yousheng stood up without saying anything, and pointed to the field in front of him. "That's the vegetable I planted today. Can you help me take a look? If there's any problem, help me fix it. I'm going to lie down for a while. My god, digging the soil is really exhausting!"

Huang Yousheng walked back to the house mumbling, but the old woman just stood there stiffly, with her head turned away.

......

Huang Yousheng really went to sleep. For him, such labor was too exhausting, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the pillow.

When he woke up from hunger by the smell of vegetables, he put on his clothes and went out. When he saw the two dishes on the table, he couldn't help but pout, "It's just growing some vegetables, what's the big deal!"

The old woman smiled and the wrinkles on her face were squeezed together. "As for, as for!"

She picked up a large piece of meat from the spoon and put it in Huang Yousheng's bowl. "Here, this is your favorite twice-cooked pork with sweet potato skin. Eat more."

Huang Yousheng didn't say anything and just started eating.

After eating, he threw the bowl away as usual, lay down on the bed again with satisfaction and comfort, and fell asleep again.

He didn't know how long he slept. He was awakened by the urge to pee. Suddenly he heard someone talking.

It was quiet and silent in the mountain valley with few people living there, late at night!

Huang Yousheng was startled instantly and almost fainted from fear!

He tiptoed to the door, opened it a crack, and looked out secretly.

I saw incense sticks stuck in the dirt at the edge of the courtyard, with green smoke rising and red candles glowing. An old woman was kneeling on a cushion, placing paper money one by one into the fire in front of her.

"Don't worry if you're down there. I'm doing well. My conditions are better now. The government has helped me find a job. I sell lunch boxes with Junwazi and his wife. I can make more than 1,000 yuan a month. If I earn more, I can always afford a coffin."

"In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a coffin or not. Our son has finally grown up. He planted vegetables today. It was such a big piece of soil, and he planted it all by himself. Don't you think he is very capable?"

"Come to think of it, the last time he planted vegetables was when he was a few years old. He followed us to play in the fields. He always wanted to show that he was an adult, so he insisted on helping out."

"Oh, now that I think about it, you were only in your thirties at that time, and I was only thirty years old too. It's been so fast. You've been gone for eleven years, and I'm seventy-two now. Don't worry, I'll be here to accompany you soon."

"I have always been worried and reluctant to leave my son. Today, I feel relieved to see him become sensible. Whether this day comes early or late, at least there is something to look forward to!"

"Wait for me to hold on for another year or two. If I can really let go, I will come down to accompany you and let you take care of me. I have been doing this for more than ten years, and I really want to take a good rest..."

The firelight illuminated her old face, and her low whispers, along with the smoke, drifted away in the night wind.

Huang Yousheng returned to bed silently.

But he was obviously very tired, but for some reason he couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried.
