Chapter 490 The Control Group of the 1960s' Beloved Heroine 34
Su Jianshe had at least an 800-degree filter for his eldest daughter. Su Li simply told him about her encounter with the old man with a white beard, and he automatically imagined all the scenes in his mind.
If the image could not only be played in his mind, Su Li and Liu Xiaomei would definitely see an old man with a white beard and a sage-like appearance, who came to Xinghua Village in stealth with an ethereal air to look for his successor.
Then, among the hundreds of children in the village, he had a keen eye and spotted Su Li, who was only ten months old and was chasing other children around the village. He thought she was a genius and was shocked by her beauty. He immediately coaxed Su Li into becoming his last disciple.
Although Su Jianshe felt that the mysterious man was trying to steal his daughter from him, he was not an ungrateful person.
After all, my daughter really learned some real skills!
Without the guidance of the hermit master, even if his daughter was a natural genius, it would be impossible for her to recognize ginseng by herself, and it would be even more impossible for her to kill a wild boar with her bare hands at the age of six, right?
It's a pity that the hermit master doesn't see outsiders, otherwise he would at least bring some gifts and come to thank him in person (and by the way, see the other party's true face and see if the other party's status in his daughter's heart will surpass his?)
Su Li: You think too much. It is impossible for someone who does not exist to have a higher status than you. You don’t even need to look at someone who exists, their status is higher than yours!
Knowing that Su Li had dug the ginseng by his own strength, Su Jianshe and Liu Xiaomei looked at the ginseng with much more eagerness.
Nothing can bring peace of mind like having real ability.
Luck is such an ethereal thing, and a person's luck in life is limited. If it is used up in advance, no one knows what they will face in the future?
Since his daughter makes a living by her own ability, he has nothing to worry about!
Su Jianshe thought so in his heart, but his expression was different. He picked up Su Li and kissed her hard on the face when she was not prepared, and said proudly:
"My daughter is truly blessed. After I sell the ginseng, I'll buy you new clothes, a hair ornament, some White Rabbit candies, some pork, some malted milk... I'll save the rest of the money for you as a dowry!"
Su Jianshe looked at the three ginseng roots in the backpack, his mouth smiling so much that it almost reached the back of his head, his eyes filled with stars.
Digging up ginseng certainly made him excited and happy, but what made him happier was that his daughter had a powerful master and the ability to protect herself. Even if he and his wife were not around in the future, they would be able to live well!
Su Li really couldn't stand her father's worthless smile, so she jumped out of her father's arms with disgust, took out the small handkerchief made by Liu Xiaomei from her pocket and wiped the saliva off her face.
"I'm six years old!"
She is already six years old, not six months old. Why can't her father change his habit of kissing her at every turn?
Su Jianshe was used to being despised by his daughter, so he pretended not to notice the obvious disdain in her eyes. He bared his big white teeth and tried to continue hugging Su Li, but Su Li quickly dodged him.
Su Jianshe didn't get to hug the girl, and looked at Liu Xiaomei who was watching the show on the side with grievance: "Wife, look, I'm rejected by my own daughter. Woo woo, I'm so sad!"
Su Li wasn't a real child, so she didn't fall for his tricks. She rolled her eyes and said, "Don't try to be ridiculous. I'm not a three-year-old little sister!"
After saying this, he turned and left.
Su Jianshe immediately stopped feeling wronged upon seeing this and hurriedly spoke to keep her: "Hey, don't go, girl! You haven't told me what to do with this ginseng yet?"
"Is it okay to leave this ginseng in the backpack like this? Will it lose its medicinal properties? Should I put it in a box?"
"Oh, I won't be able to sleep tonight if I leave three such big ginseng roots at home. I need to find a safe place to hide them."
These three ginseng roots are big and good in appearance. They are obviously the best of the best. What if they are accidentally chewed by mice or their medicinal properties are damaged if they are left like this?
If someone broke into their small, dilapidated house and stole the ginseng, he and his wife wouldn't even know how to cry.
Thinking of this, Su Jianshe anxiously walked around the house, rummaging through drawers and climbing up and down. For a moment, he felt that no place in the house was safe.
Su Li couldn't help but twitch her lips when she saw this. Her father was really worrying too much.
Who would happen to come and steal things in this shabby house where she has lived for five years and few people have visited?
No one knows a daughter better than her father. Su Jianshe immediately understood what was in Su Li's eyes and analyzed the situation to Su Li earnestly, "Everyone knew that our family was poor before, so no one cared about us.
But didn’t our family share dozens of pounds of meat today? Even though it’s just wild boar meat, it’s still meat after all. There might be people who are jealous and want our family!”
"I'm being cautious and prepared!"
OK, that’s a convincing reason!
It is better to sell the things quickly than to keep them at home. Compared with ginseng, money and bills will certainly make parents feel more at ease.
"Dad, go to the county town tomorrow morning and sell the ginseng. Don't keep the money from the ginseng as my dowry. Use it to build the house first."
After thinking about it, Su Li was worried that her father would sell all three ginseng roots, so she reminded him, "You can only take two at most, and keep the rest for our family to nourish their bodies."
If I sell it in the provincial capital, the price will definitely be higher and it will be easier to sell, but the provincial capital is too far away, and it will take a lot of time to go there and back, so it’s better not to waste that time!
When Su Jianshe heard Su Li say to leave a ginseng root for the family to nourish their bodies, he agreed very much.
My wife and children really need to nourish their bodies, especially my wife. She didn't take good care of herself when she gave birth to Xiaoli, and she suffered a lot when she gave birth to the twins. Her body is still very weak.
In his dream, he was sent to a farm for forced labor. He had seen many people die early due to poor health before they could return to the city, so he knew the importance of having a good body.
It was also because of this that even though he often went to the mountains to catch some wild game in recent years, he often went to the black market to exchange it for money, and there was no money saved at home.
In the past, he didn't have the ability to provide his wife and children with a better life. Now that his daughter has become successful and he has the conditions, of course he has to nourish their health.
Xiao Li is right. I will rebuild the house when I have money.
Although they bought the house they live in now a long time ago, they have never had the money to rebuild it, so they have been living in it for the past few years, making do with some repairs.
The children in the family are growing up day by day, but there are only two rooms in the house. Until now, the two little ones still sleep with him and his wife. Sometimes, when he and his wife want to be intimate, they dare not make too much noise.
Alas, Xiaoli is still the best. As soon as he learned to walk, he took the initiative to move to another room to sleep alone. Unlike the two younger ones, who are three years old and have no self-awareness at all, and insist on sleeping with my wife.
Two little ones: ??? Is it because there is no room for us at home?
