Going on a long trip!
Going on a long trip!
Our distant horizon.
Just when I was all set to go on a long trip, some unexpected trouble stopped me.
After several unexpected problems, almost a month has been wasted!
The two childhood friends are very hardworking, especially after they got a donkey, they make a trip to Ziniubei Mountain every day at least once.
The two of them managed to bring back a thousand catties of red pine cones in a day.
It weighs 100 jin (50 kg) once peeled.
Even though we didn't go on a long trip, the money in the house kept flowing out.
The longer it is delayed, the more insecure I feel.
My mother had already dried the frozen mushrooms she had brought back earlier, and the dried mushrooms weighed a total of more than 150 jin (75 kg).
There are several hundred kilograms of red pine nuts.
In addition to these two items, Lin Mo also skinned several rabbits and tanned several rabbit pelts as samples.
I also made a whole basin of rabbit meat jelly, weighing almost thirty pounds.
There was also a bowl of fish jelly and a bag of pickled bok choy.
Bok choy is one of the few vegetables that can be grown in Northeast China during winter, but private farmland doesn't dare to cultivate too much, so my family only grows a little bit.
Lin Mo loaded all the samples onto the sidecar motorcycle one after another.
Wu Fengshou, who was being manipulated by his older brother, patrolled the village early in the morning to see how each household was taking care of their saplings.
Have you encountered any problems?
If there's a problem, we need to find it in time so we can solve it promptly. We can't let it delay our son's appointment with the specialist!
Oh no, we can't let next year's harvest be delayed.
Wu Fengshou, who had wandered to the end of the village with his hands behind his back, raised his hand and knocked on the door of Old Zhu's house.
"How's your seedling transplanting going?"
After the Zhu family's dilapidated courtyard gate was opened from the inside, Wu Fengshou greeted them with a smile and was about to walk in.
Before Wu Fengshou could even land, Old Zhu suddenly shifted to the side, blocking him from the side.
The village chief, puzzled, noticed that Old Zhu seemed to have some unspeakable trouble, his face filled with inexplicable difficulty.
"What's wrong?" Wu Fengshou asked.
Old Zhu hung his head and stammered for a long time, unable to speak.
The impatient village chief pushed Old Zhu aside and looked down at Old Zhu's empty courtyard.
Hey, where are those saplings that practically took over the whole yard yesterday?
All that's left are rows of loose soil pits on the ground in the yard.
Seeing this, he became even more puzzled.
"Well..." Old Zhu, head bowed and looking embarrassed, finally spoke up:
"Xu Zhenting gave us two yuan a tree..."
"Three hundred trees, and they gave us a total of six hundred yuan..."
"The family needs money to repair the house... so..."
Upon hearing this, Wu Fengshou felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
"What???"
"What did you say???"
Are you crazy?!
He was so busy with the saplings that he temporarily forgot about the pine nuts.
But he didn't say he wouldn't accept them!
Why are you in such a hurry for money? What the hell are you doing?!
"I'm so sorry, village chief, I'm really sorry."
Fearing that the village chief would give him a severe dressing-down if he lost his temper, Old Zhu quickly apologized repeatedly and retreated back into the yard.
In the end, Wu Fengshou was given the cold shoulder.
Wu Fengshou sensed something was wrong, so he quickly looked around at several more places.
Damn it, Lin Gangtie's family also sold their saplings!
Wu Renyi too?!
Sun Houkang sold the seedlings, and now the village chief is patrolling his house. He even has the audacity to make a sarcastic remark:
"Who knows if this thing will actually yield fruit next year? There's no guarantee we'll get anything, so it's better to have the money now."
"You're just old and blind, believing everything Lin Mo says."
"Who can guarantee that his words are entirely trustworthy? Anyway, we only believe that if there's money to be made now, then we have to make it."
After patrolling the area, it was learned that most of the villagers had sold their saplings.
Wu Fengshou almost fainted on the way due to high blood pressure.
Good heavens, how can everyone be so short-sighted?
The principle is that if you're full at one meal, you'll be full at every meal!
Do you expect me, an old man with half my body in the ground, to teach you?
A rumbling sound came from a distance behind us.
Lin Mo hummed a little tune all the way, happily carrying the samples to his distant destination.
Then, halfway there, they spotted the village chief again.
The village chief, clutching his chest, lay on the ground, stretching out his arm toward Lin Mo with a pained expression.
"...What the heck? What kind of look is this, so early in the morning?"
Lin Mo's sixth sense told him something was wrong; he couldn't go on his two-way journey with his distant friend again today.
After the village chief finally managed to process the blood clot in his chest and explained the situation to Lin Mo,
A string of black lines appeared on Lin Mo's forehead.
"village head."
As the two men squatted silently by the dirt road, Chen Gang, who was deliberately passing behind them, smiled and pretended to greet them.
"Since we've missed the planting season, let's just focus on production."
"The targets must be met."
After saying this, Chen Gang left as if he were in a good mood.
Wu Fengshou and Lin Mo exchanged glances, clearly understanding that Chen Gang seemed to know what had happened.
Yesterday, Xu Zhenting came to the supply and marketing cooperative to find Chen Gang and briefly explained his interest in raspberry cultivation.
"Just tell the villagers that raspberries are not so easy to grow, and that the planting is very risky. It is normal for trees to die because they are not well cared for."
“Which ordinary farmer has the ability to bear the risk? It’s better to take advantage of the fact that someone is willing to pay for the saplings now, sell the saplings and get the money. Otherwise, the trees will freeze to death and we will not get any money.”
