After listening to him, Yang Chunyan felt that what he said made sense. When the Panax notoginseng seeds are ripe, the red fruits and the green leaves give people the first impression that it is a good thing.
After the two arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the Panax notoginseng fruit, which had grown much bigger, and said, "Fortunately, these people don't know the value of the fruit."
Zhou Huaian still felt unsafe, "Yan'er, why don't we just dig it up?"
"The medicinal effect of the Panax notoginseng we dig now is not good. Wait for another month or so and the seeds will be ripe. We will come and keep an eye on it then." Yang Chunyan thought of the monitoring facilities in the future. It would be great if they existed.
Zhou Huaian thought for a moment, "How about going back and getting a pry bar, digging them up with their roots and soil, and planting them in the yard? What do you think?"
"We can't plant them in the yard. They are afraid of both heat and cold, and prefer shade and not sunlight." Yang Chunyan was also worried that their roots would be damaged by the prying rod, and they would not survive if they were dug up. "Wait a little longer, and come back before the seeds mature."
"Okay, let's wait a little longer." Zhou Huaian took her hand and said, "Let's go back to eat."
When they got home, Zhou's mother had already prepared the meal. After learning that Sanqi had not been poached, she said to Zhou's father, "Go to the big pit when you have nothing to do in the future."
Father Zhou nodded. "On the surface, our family just leased a piece of forest and built a few more ovens, but those bitches are so jealous. If they knew that we bought so much land in the city, who knows what would happen?"
Yang Chunyan thought this was normal. Laughing at the poor and hating the rich was the evil nature of these people. Especially when the rich person was originally poorer than them, it would attract more envy.
Zhou Huaian said nonchalantly, "One, don't steal, two, don't rob. Now that you know it, you know it!" Then he said to the old man and Zhou's father, "Grandpa, old man, when you go up the mountain, bring a dog with you. If you see someone hiding in the medicinal field or a big pit, just let the dog bite them."
"Okay!" The old man thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the big pit this afternoon and dig up all the yams and kudzu roots, so that those people won't worry about it."
Zhou Huaian: "Okay, let's go dig them this afternoon. The day after tomorrow, Ding Dingmao and I will go to Baicaoping to collect herbs."
Yang Chunyan looked at him and asked, "How many days do you plan to be gone?"
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "I plan to go to Baicaoping and Bailing Mountain. There should be a lot of good stuff there."
Yang Chunyan: "Since we are going so far, it would be best to take Li Wu and Xu Hongbing with us."
The old man also said: "Listen to Chunyan, it's better to go there with more people."
"I've told them everything." Zhou Huaian looked at them with a smile, "Don't worry, we almost all know the people who drive the mountains over there, nothing will happen."
The old man reminded him: "When you go out, you must remember not to show off your wealth."
Zhou Huaian nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, I already understood this principle."
The family had just finished lunch when Zhou Yiding arrived and took out two chain saws from his backpack. "Youngest, I have fixed the chain saws."
"That's it!" Zhou Huaian picked it up, looked at it, and put it aside. "That one has also been bought. I'll give you the paperwork."
"Hmm!" Zhou Yiding parked his bicycle and sat at the tea table waiting for him to come out. "How is it? Have you sold all the land this time?"
"All sold out." Zhou Huaian showed him the land purchase documents, "We bought all the land in the front row. There was one fat guy who almost popped his eyes out because he didn't buy any."
"I remember Doctor Xiao Wang said there were nine plots of land in the front row, and with your brother and sister that's only seven!" Zhou Yiding understood immediately after hearing this, "How many plots did you buy this time?"
"No, my eldest and second brothers also bought Xiaowen and Xiaoqian's. My third brother bought two in the back row, and I bought the remaining one."
"Amazing! We were able to sell out more than 20 plots of land in one day, all thanks to your main force."
"You know, my family doesn't have anything else but a lot of people!" Zhou Huaian smiled and stuffed the things into his hands. "How's your business going?"
Zhou Yiding: "It's done. They can't spare any manpower, so they rehired me to work for another year. I don't have to go up the mountain to pull things in the afternoon."
"Is that so? Then we can set off tomorrow?"
"Yes! We can leave tomorrow."
Zhou Huaian suddenly remembered that he had already made an agreement with Xu Hongbing, "What the hell, I told Old Xu to go find Li Wu and tell him to leave the day after tomorrow."
"Your kid is a jerk!" Zhou Yiding got on his bicycle and nodded at him, "It's not far, just go tell them!"
"You're the one!" Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes at him, said hello to Yang Chunyan who was coaxing the child to sleep in the main room, then pushed his bicycle down the stairs and rode away.
Yang Chunyan looked at the two people who walked out of the yard laughing, smiled and shook her head, put the child in the cradle, and went upstairs to turn over and dry the herbs.
As soon as Zhou Huaian and his companions arrived at the drying dam, they ran into Li Wu and Xu Hongbing who were walking with them. "We were going to look for you!"
"We're here to look for you too!" Xu Hongbing smiled and handed a cigarette to the two of them. "What do you want from us?"
Zhou Huaian: "Ding Ding Cat is free tomorrow. We plan to leave tomorrow. Can you guys go?"
Li Wu smiled naively and said, "You can leave anytime!"
"That's settled." Zhou Huaian looked at the two of them, "We'll go back first, where are you going?"
"I'm bored and want to borrow your fishing net to go fishing in the river." Xu Hongbing looked at the two of them, "Are you going?"
Zhou Yiding shook his head. "I'm not going. I've been riding my bike for the whole morning. I want to go back and take a nap."
Zhou Huaian also shook his head, "I won't go either. I'll go to the big pit to dig yam and kudzu root in the afternoon, so that I don't get to eat any before others steal them all."
"Oh my god~" Xu Hongbing looked at him in surprise, "Is there really someone going to the big pit to look for treasures?"
"Of course not!" Zhou Huaian cursed, "I don't know which bitch raised this bastard, but he dug up several nests of my yam. I'm going to dig them all up this afternoon. Let's see what the hell he digs up."
The people who were playing cards in the shade of the sunbathing area turned their heads to look over, and some asked quietly what was going on. Someone else explained quietly.
Zhou Yiding glanced at those people and said in an exaggerated tone: "Youngest, your kid is usually so smart, why is he so stupid this time? Don't we still have the traps we bought last time? Take them to the pit. If anyone dares to steal things, they will be stepped on!"
Xu Hongbing agreed, "Yiding is right. It would be better to send more to break the dog's legs."
"That's right, how could I have forgotten that!" Zhou Huaian patted Zhou Yiding, "Let's go set the traps."
Xu Hongbing hurriedly jumped onto the back seat of his bicycle, Li Wu sat behind Zhou Yiding, and the four of them rode shakily towards the foot of the mountain.
When they came here, it was a slight slope, and they reached the drying dam without any effort. When they went back, it was uphill, especially the gentle slope to the grove, and they were both exhausted and out of breath.
Seeing this, Li Wu and Xu Hongbing jumped down, ran with the two men for a distance, and then jumped up again.
When Zhou Huaian got home, Zhou Huairong and his two brothers were packing up their belongings in his yard, preparing to go to the big pit to dig yam and kudzu root.
Seeing that they had enough people, Xu Hongbing and Li Wu took the fishing nets and left.
Zhou Yiding became interested in setting traps, so he didn't go back to sleep and followed his brothers to the big pit.
Zhou Huaijun looked at the little bees flying around the wild flowers, and hid next to Zhou Huaian in fear. "Youngest, mom said there's a nest of kudzu roots at the bottom of the pit. The vines are as thick as your calf. Have you seen it?"
"I have seen it. I'll take you to see it." Zhou Huaian saw him trying to squeeze over and looked at him with a playful smile, "Second brother, are you still afraid of little bees?"
When he was a child, he was almost poisoned to death by the bee venom while digging out a wild beehive. His head was swollen for a long time and he has been traumatized ever since.
Zhou Huaijun rolled his eyes and said, "Why not? Try getting stung all over your head and see if it gets swollen."
Zhou Huaian curled his lips, "Didn't you smile happily last time I was stung?"
Zhou Yiding turned his head and looked at him curiously, "When did this happen? How come I don't know about it?"
Zhou Huaijun looked gloating, "Last year, the youngest and Erchun went to dig out beehives..."
Zhou Huaishan added, "My second brother's entire face and skull were swollen before, but your forehead is swollen and your lips are swollen like a sausage hanging from them. Tell me if that's funny or not."
"Oh my god~ It would be great to have a camera!" Zhou Yiding looked at Zhou Huaian and imagined that his forehead was swollen and the upper lip was like a sausage. He laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his waist.
Zhou Huaian rolled his eyes so hard that you couldn't even see his pupils. He raised the trap and threatened Zhou Yiding, "If you dare to laugh again, I'll hit you on the lips."
“Aiyaah!!!” Zhou Yiding screamed and ran to the bottom of the pit, “Brother, look, the youngest one is bullying me!”
Zhou Huairong knew that the two were acting weird, but he couldn't help but remind Zhou Huaian, "Youngest, don't joke with that thing. It would be troublesome if the iron teeth on it scratched it."
"You complaining woman! If you have the guts, don't run away..." Zhou Huaian chased after her with a smile.
Zhou Yiding ran down without looking back, "I won't run away, you idiot, catch up with me if you dare!"
Seeing the two men running to the bottom of the pit like a gust of wind, Zhou Huairong and the other two also quickened their pace and rushed down.
When they reached the bottom of the pit, they walked a short distance before seeing wilted yam vines hanging on the bushes. There were also a few piles of dug soil on the ground. They filled the soil back and followed Zhou Huaian to dig out the kudzu root.
After walking forward for a while, they arrived in front of the kudzu root. Zhou Huaian pointed at the vine and said, "Brothers, take a look. This nest can be regarded as the king of kudzu roots, right?"
"Fuck!" Zhou Yiding looked at the kudzu vine, then at his calf, "This is not kudzu root, it's kudzu root spirit!"
Zhou Huaijun used a hoe to pull away the vines. "Look, there are a few more next to it."
"It might be a branch." Zhou Huairong put down his tools and took out a machete. "Hurry up and take advantage of the free time in the next few days to dig up the big ones and grind them to make kudzu root powder."
Zhou Huaian also put down his backpack, and the brothers cut the kudzu vines and started digging. (End of this chapter)
