Chapter 50 One Chicken per Family



He was able to say this because he believed in Chen Yibin's character. If it were someone else, he would not be so direct.

"Uncle, I won't beat around the bush. I have a boss who needs wild ginseng. He and his wife suffered from a hidden illness a few years ago."

When he applied to come back to recuperate, his family had already sent people to look for ginseng with a long shelf life.

Knowing that there are many wild ginsengs in the Northeast, I asked him for help.

After he came back, he searched everywhere he could in the town, the county, and even near the city, but found nothing.

I didn’t expect that even if the flowers didn’t bloom, there would be a new hope after a dark period!

"Uncle, can you sell this ginseng to my old boss? Don't worry, they will definitely not give you a bad price!"

After Chen Yibin finished speaking, he waited for Li Shuhua's answer with burning eyes.

As for what Li Shuhua said just now about changing Li Yuanshan's future, he didn't hear it because his whole mind was focused on the wild ginseng!

After all, wild ginseng is rare, and such a large wild ginseng is even rarer. It can save lives at critical moments.

Li Wenjing frowned somewhat unhappily. What's wrong with this guy? His father had just said that this ginseng would be used to exchange for her second brother's future. This guy was pretending not to hear, right?

The little bit of good impression I had of Chen Yibin suddenly dropped a little.

Chen Yibin: I feel so wronged, I really didn’t hear it.

Chen Yibin didn't know yet that just because he didn't hear, Li Wenjing completely kicked him out from the list of potential future husbands, and the two of them could only be friends from now on.

"Brother Chen, my dad just said that we don't want to sell this ginseng for money. We just want to buy a better future for my second brother. Since he is your old leader, it shouldn't be difficult for him to get a place in the army!"

Chen Yibin heard it now, and he was a little confused and annoyed. He was just thinking about wild ginseng and didn't hear Uncle Li talking.

Judging from the little girl's tone, she must be angry. He really deserves a beating.

Li Wenjing had no idea what Chen Yibin was thinking, and it wouldn't matter even if she knew.

This person has already arranged him among her friends?

Li Yuanshan was so nervous that his hands were sweating.

Can he join the army like his elder brother?

Is his dream going to come true?

In this era, which boy doesn’t have a dream of becoming a soldier?

Chen Yibin knew Li Yuanshan, but the two did not communicate much.

He began to look at Li Yuanshan. He was tall and strong, with a sense of energy and spirit all over his body, and his eyes were clear and restrained.

I heard that he has good academic performance and is still a high school student. The army is short of such educated soldiers.

Chen Yibin also came from the countryside. He was able to climb to his current position in ten years, so he has a good eye for people.

Chen Yibin patted his chest and assured: "Uncle Li, I will take care of Shanzi's enlistment. But one thing is for sure, the money for the wild ginseng must be paid. You don't know that my old leader is a very upright person and will not default on his debt.

Even if they really default on their debt, I will find a way. No matter what, I will definitely let Shanzi join the army!"

Li Wenjing was quite satisfied with Chen Yibin's assurance. Li Yuanshan was very excited. He tried hard to suppress his inner feelings and not let himself shout out.

After agreeing on the destination of the wild ginseng, Chen Yibin went back.

He wanted to talk to Li Wenjing for a while, but Li Wenjing didn't want to talk to him much.

After Chen Yibin left, Li Yuanshan felt like he had lost his soul.

He really didn't expect that he would go into the mountains with his sister in the afternoon, and his sister would earn him a future.

Seeing Li Yuanshan like this, Li Wenjing knew that her second brother was now feeling a mixture of emotions.

"Brother, what are you thinking about? When you get your allowance, not only should you buy me beautiful clothes, but you should also buy me nice hairbands and hairpins."

"Second brother, there's me too. I don't want pretty clothes, just buy me some big meat buns!"

Li Wenjing and Li Yuanbing's words successfully made Li Yuanshan laugh.

Li Yuanshan touched Li Wenjing's head with amusement, and of course Li Yuanbing's head as well.

Both of them are still children, still young.

"Buy it, my second brother will definitely buy it for you."

At this time, Li Yuanshan secretly swore in his heart that when he went to the army, he must work hard and become a support for his sister and brother.

Some people slept well that night, while others had a sleepless night.

For example, Xia Yulan never thought that her family would have such luck.

Li Wenjing, Li Yuanshan and Li Yuanbing all went back to the house to rest. She was still completely immersed in the wild ginseng she had dug at home and her second son going to the army. She was unable to extricate herself and was smiling foolishly.

Li Shuhua looked at his silly wife and put the teacup in his hand on the table.

"Wife, wake up and stop being so silly. While the children are asleep, let's pick up all these wild animals and send a few to the Chen family. Of course, we have to send one to the captain's family as well. While everyone is asleep, we will roast one for the children to eat tomorrow."

Li Shuhua arranged the work while smiling.

After Li Shuhua's reminder, Xia Yulan finally came to her senses.

"Yes, peel the rabbit skin off completely. When the weather gets cold, you can make mattresses or scarves for the children. You don't need to roast it. Add some salt. I'll wrap it in mud and roast it on the kang. This way the smell will be less. We've been eating a lot of meat lately, and it wouldn't be nice to be hated by others."

His daughter cooked meat several times, and the children from the two neighboring families cried because they were so greedy. The adults in the family met her on the road and teased her a lot.

Now that their second son has the opportunity to join the army, they should keep a low profile.

"I salt the rest and air-dry them, so that I can preserve some of them."

"Okay, I'll send some to my parents-in-law's house when the time comes."

Li Shuhua is not an ungrateful person. He went to his wife's family to borrow money before, but they didn't have any, so they went to someone else's family to lend him money.

Over the years, whenever there were any difficulties at home, the Yue family would help whenever they could.

Unlike his father, he is lucky enough not to kick someone when he is down.

Of course, Li Wenjing was the only one who slept well at home. Everyone else in the family was busy all night, even the youngest Li Yuanbing was no exception.

That night they skinned the rabbits, plucked the pheasants, and killed the roe deer, gutting them. Of course, they buried all the internal organs and chicken feathers in the backyard to destroy all evidence.

Xia Yulan set aside a piece of roe deer meat, a chicken, and a rabbit for her own consumption.

He also took out two chickens and two rabbits and prepared to send them to the Chen family and the team leader's family.

Each family has a rabbit and a pheasant.

Neither family gave the roe deer meat, and the remaining pheasants and rabbits were all drowned and hung in the woodshed in the backyard.

It's not that she doesn't want to hang out, but if she really does, their family...
