Chapter 108: Medicinal herbs sold for 5,000 yuan
Li Caiyun didn't even raise her head, and spread the bedding skillfully with her hands, as if everything was under her control.
Zhou Yong looked at her calm expression and his doubts deepened.
He spoke again, his tone unclear: "Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
Li Caiyun stopped what she was doing, she looked up at Zhou Yong with a smile on her lips.
That smile was full of confidence, which made Zhou Yong's heart skip a beat.
After spreading the bedding, Li Caiyun sat down and pointed her finger towards Zhou Yong. He strode to the edge of the kang with confusion.
Li Caiyun put one hand on Zhou Yong's shoulder, and her soft and boneless hand gently pinched his shoulder. The corners of her mouth raised, and she smiled as beautiful as a flower.
Her lively eyes sparkled with mischief, causing him to squint.
Zhou Yong felt the softness and warmth of her fingers, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He looked at Li Caiyun's lovely appearance, his heart filled with pampering and love.
Zhou Yong put his arm around her slender waist and exerted a little force with his arm. Li Caiyun gasped softly and their bodies were pressed close together.
As they looked at each other, the little devil Li Caiyun actually raised her fingers and started drawing on Zhou Yong's face with a charming look.
Zhou Yong's breathing tightened and his eyes became deep. Li Caiyun stood up slightly and said something in his ear.
In an instant he turned to look at Li Caiyun, only to see her looking at him with a smile. Zhou Yong's heart was filled with joy and excitement.
He hugged Li Caiyun tightly, tears of happiness welling up in his eyes. This news meant a lot to him.
Li Caiyun lay obediently and quietly in his arms. Zhou Yong was so excited at this moment that he couldn't express his feelings in words.
"I'm going to be a father, I'm going to be a father..."
Zhou Yong repeated this sentence over and over again. Having been a father in two lifetimes, this was his first time to be a prospective father. This feeling and emotion was something most people could not understand.
The two hugged each other tightly and did not separate for a long time.
Zhou Yong looked at Li Caiyun: "When did you find out you were pregnant?"
Li Caiyun told him what happened with a smile, and Zhou Yong slapped his young wife on the butt after listening.
"What's the matter?"
There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, which made Zhou Yong hold back his laughter.
"Little girl, you actually have the guts to hide the fact that I'm pregnant?"
Li Caiyun chuckled: "Aren't you uncertain? I was afraid that you would be disappointed, so I didn't dare to tell you..."
After listening to his young wife's explanation, Zhou Yong pinched her face and said, "You are quite thoughtful."
Li Caiyun giggled and Zhou Yong hugged her in his arms again.
After washing her feet and lying down, Li Caiyun asked Zhou Yong while lying on her side: "Do you like boys or girls?"
Zhou Yong lay flat on his back, with one hand behind his head, looking at the night sky through the gap in the curtains: "Boys and girls are the same, as long as they are our children, I like them..."
He is not a man who favors boys over girls. He likes all children.
Li Caiyun and Zhou Yong had the same idea. After all, they were still young, and even if the first child was a girl, they would have both a son and a daughter sooner or later.
Li Caiyun fell asleep while talking. Zhou Yong tucked her in. He lay back down and suddenly felt the burden on his shoulders became heavier.
When Zhou Yong opened his eyes the next day, Li Caiyun was in his bed!
She was like an octopus, her whole body seemed to be embedded in Zhou Yong.
He gently put down his young wife's arms and legs, sat up quietly and put on his clothes.
Zhou Yong went to the bathroom, came back to wash up, and took the shoulder pole and bucket to fetch water.
The water tank was full, so Zhou Yong fetched some more water and kept it as a backup.
After finishing these things, Zhou Yong discussed work matters with Li Baotian in the hospital.
The acquisition team is now operating on track and moving the mountain is on the agenda.
When he came back, Zhou Yong discussed this issue with Secretary Zhang. If nothing unexpected happens, the blasting personnel and local experts will arrive in early August.
During this period, the brigade had to constantly organize people to go up the mountain to hunt and sell. With liquid funds in the account, they would not be so timid in doing things.
Li Baotian kept nodding his head. Zhou Yong had taken all aspects into consideration, and the rest was just a matter of everyone cooperating in the execution.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
Breakfast was ready, and Li Caiyun called them into the house to eat.
After dinner, Zhou Yong and Li Baotian went to the brigade early and organized people to hunt in the mountains.
Li Hongjun led the team, and six people from the public security brigade went there. The team of more than 20 people set out into the mountains in the afternoon.
Huaixi Village is surrounded by mountains on all sides, but it is divided into four mountains: east, west, south and north.
Dongshan is the only way for villagers to enter and exit. Nanshan is not large in area and its resources are not rich.
The West Mountain and the North Mountain are connected together, and no one knows how large their area is.
Zhou Yong didn't go this time, mainly because he didn't have time.
In a situation where even if he went there, without anyone's cooperation, it would be difficult to keep some things secret.
Time passed unknowingly and it was July 28th. Huaixi Village was harvesting potatoes. After finishing this task, on the 31st Zhou Yong went to the county town with the medicinal herbs he and Li Caiyun had collected last time.
The moment Chen Pingliang saw Zhou Yong, his heart finally settled down.
After inspecting the goods and after some bargaining, Chen Pingliang purchased the medicinal materials from Zhou Yong for five thousand yuan.
This batch of medicinal materials is quite good in terms of age and quality, but they are not the best ones. Zhou Yong only sold a part of them.
Zhou Yong's shipment volume was not large, so he could not meet the needs of Chen Pingliang and Wei Guoan.
Chen Pingliang wanted Zhou Yong to find someone in the village to collect medicinal herbs, but he rejected the idea immediately after hearing this.
They are engaging in speculation and profiteering, and they cannot recruit a large number of people to work for them. Otherwise, Zhou Yong will have no chance of getting his job as the production team leader.
The final agreement was that the village would deliver the goods to the Agricultural Bureau in the future, and Zhou Yong would select some high-quality medicinal materials to sell to them.
If Chen Pingliang had made such a request before, Zhou Yong would have really considered it, but now this matter has become much simpler for him.
Sun Qing was the warehouse keeper of the purchasing team. If Zhou Yong wanted to drag him into the water, it would only take a few words.
As for the price, according to what they had agreed upon before, assuming it was sold at the price of the Agricultural Bureau, Zhou Yong would not have to bear the risk.
The deal was settled, and Chen Pingliang wanted to invite Zhou Yong to dinner, but he refused outright.
Zhou Yong returned home with the huge sum of 5,000 yuan. It was already evening when he got home.
The five thousand yuan were all ten-yuan notes. He took out twenty stacks of money from his handbag and placed them in front of Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang.
One stack is one hundred yuan, and twenty stacks are two thousand yuan.
Zhang Guifang's breathing slowed down and she couldn't take her eyes off the two thousand yuan.
Not only her, but also Li Baotian and Li Caiyun are like this.
Zhou Yong took in the reactions of the three members of the Li family. He smiled and said, "Mom, put the money away. If someone sees it, it will cause trouble..."
Zhang Guifang suddenly became nervous and looked out the window hastily: "Not good, I'll go lock the door now."
Li Baotian grabbed his wife and said, "Why did you lock the door? Why not just keep the money?"
Zhang Guifang was stunned by the huge sum of two thousand yuan. She felt that Li Baotian was right and immediately took the money.
She picked up ten stacks of money and was about to turn around and put them into the cabinet, but suddenly she stopped and said, "Why should we collect money? If we have to collect money, it should be Caiyun and the others who collect it..."
