After climbing up the rugged mountain road, we finally reached the orange garden on the top of the mountain. Looking at the orange trees on the top of the mountain, Zhai couldn't help but sigh at the beautiful scenery, and he thought of a poem.

Standing alone in the cold autumn, the Xiang River flows northward, at the head of Orange Island.

Look at the red mountains and the colorful forests!

It’s such a beautiful scenery, the only pity is that the road here is too... You even have to climb in some places. What was your village thinking to plant so many orange trees in this place?

"Accountant Ma, the oranges here are almost ripe. It's not good to take them out, right?"

"Who said it's hard to transport it out? Captain Zhai, come with me and take a look!"

Just when Zhai was thinking about whether he could come up with a way to transport the orange orchard and fulfill his duties as a poverty alleviation cadre, Accountant Ma had already brought Zhai to the cableway.

"This is the zipline that Chairman Xiao Xu invested in our village. With it, the oranges here can be directly pulled down through the ropeway. Captain Zhai, did you see that building on the side of the road below? It is used to store the oranges we picked... Captain Zhai! Why do you look a little unhappy?"

"No, no, no, how could that be! I'm happy, I'm very happy! I'm happy for Pegasus Village from the bottom of my heart!"

Student Zhai's heart is extremely twisted. On the one hand, the rural development is very good, which is very gratifying.

On the other hand... the name of a certain Chairman Xiao Xu was mentioned frequently, while he, an excellent student from a prestigious university, seemed to have no sense of existence, like a passerby in a third-rate script. Look at this... he was so happy.

I just don't believe it... I, Zhai Zhongxia, am a student of Professor Ding Xiaoping from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. I have excellent grades in every class and have been rated as excellent in every subject. It is impossible for me to say that after coming to the countryside to do practical work, I have done nothing for my fellow villagers!

Student Zhai clenched his fists and thought, yes, there must be something I can do for my fellow villagers!

It’s just that I haven’t discovered it yet!

…

Half a month passed in a flash.

Outside Zhai's room, Granny Six called out affectionately, "Little Zhai, come out to eat!"

"Oh... Granny Six!"

Student Zhai walked to the door, paused, and looked at himself in the mirror... Uh, there seemed to be more flesh on his face, he had actually gained weight!

He suddenly felt overwhelmed with emotion.

Zhai Zhongxia, what have you been doing for the past half month?

Of course, Zhai did not do nothing during the past half month. He also actively participated in various village activities, such as processing vegetables in a vegetable processing factory and leading villagers to participate in the first phase of "picking oranges".

But the problem is, this is a job that anyone can do... Isn't it a complete waste of my talent as a top student from a prestigious school? Could it be that all the hard work I put into getting into a prestigious school and learning all kinds of cultural knowledge... is of no use at all?

"Come on, come on, eat more! Only by eating more can you grow stronger!"

Grandma Six stuffed the stewed soft big bones into Zhai's bowl...the bowl was almost full.

There is a kind of hunger when grandma thinks you are hungry.

Student Zhai pinched the flesh growing on the inside of his thigh and recalled the lament of Emperor Liu Bei:

Time passes by like a rocket, old age is approaching, and yet nothing has been accomplished, which makes me sad!

I, Zhai Zhongxia, am the same!

Just as Zhai Zhongxia was sighing and gnawing on a big meat bone stick, the "idle people" in the village came to find the equally "idle" poverty alleviation cadres:

"Captain Zhai! Let's go up the mountain and pick mushrooms together! The mushrooms on the mountain are in season!"

"Wait for me, I'll finish my meal soon!"

After Zhai Zhongxia finished his meal, he accepted the great mission of "doing odd jobs for idle people". After all, there were only a few people in the Feima Village branch... Zhai Zhongxia was also assigned a task.

He led a team of idle people in the village to find things to do. This is what he has been doing for the past half month.

After all, he is a top student after all, so managing a number of idle people is no problem for him, and he has also been unanimously recognized by the villagers... As for the bold statement of "leading Feima Village out of poverty and towards prosperity and building a well-off society in an all-round way"?

Sorry, everyone forgot about it.

The veterans in the village began to teach Zhai Zhongxia how to find mushrooms, how to pick them, and how to avoid damaging the mycelium to ensure that there will be enough to pick next year. After a day's work, Zhai Zhongxia benefited a lot and gained a lot of experience.

At night, lying on his bed in the dormitory, looking at a basket of freshly picked mushrooms, Zhai Zhongxia's eyes suddenly lit up.

Wait... He seemed to have seen somewhere that mushrooms are very valuable!

oops!

Isn’t this the rural characteristic industry he has been dreaming of? He finally found it!

Zhai Zhongxia immediately took out his phone and asked his friends in the group: "Classmates, I found that there are all kinds of mushrooms on the mountain here, and it seems that there are also matsutake mushrooms! Is this very valuable!"

"Yes, it's very valuable... Do you have matsutake mushrooms there? This is a good thing, it's easy to sell, and it can be sold at a very high price. Zhongxia, I know a boss, I'll give you his QQ number, you can have a good chat with him!"

"Mmmmm! Thank you, thank you!"

Zhai Zhongxia excitedly added QQ and started communicating.

Early the next morning, Zhai Zhongxia found the mushroom picking team from yesterday and said excitedly: "Comrades, I have good news for you. I contacted a mushroom collector yesterday and he can buy our mushrooms at a high price... He offered 50 for the matsutake mushrooms, and I bargained with him for more than an hour and got the price down to 65!"

"If you sell it here, you can't get this price!"
