"Brother Huan, all the wheat that is still alive has been planted in the greenhouse. It's a pity that there is only so much left. I don't know how to distribute it this spring."
Wang Xiangyang walked over dejectedly. Li Huan glanced at him. It was so cold, but there were beads of sweat on this guy's forehead, which showed how anxious he was.
"Don't worry. Things have already come to this. Let's take it one step at a time. Everyone is raising pigs this year. Once the pigs are sold, there will be a lot of income. And at worst, I can take everyone to the mountains to hunt in the spring. It will always be a source of income."
"If I had known this, I should have gone to the river repair work before the New Year. Sigh..."
Li Huan: “…” Wang Xiangyang could never get rid of his narrow-minded way of thinking about making money.
"Have you found out what's wrong with the villagers?"
"No, I have searched every house with the security team, and we have not found any gasoline, nor any signs of gasoline being used."
"Isn't there any at Chen Weimin's house?"
"No, I searched the barber houses of Fenqiu, Chen Weimin and others like them, even the pig pens, but nothing was found."
"Have someone clean up the burned wheat, add some fertilizer and bring some water, and preserve the remaining plastic film. These were donated by the Hexi Army. It was not easy for the little troublemaker to bring them here."
"Hey, thanks to the little troublemaker, thanks to the army, I'll go get help right away."
In fact, there is no need to call for help. The villagers are all here. This wheat is the money in their pockets, the food in their mouths, and their hope for a better life in the future. How can they give up easily
The river surface has frozen, so we can only use well water. The villagers are carrying water, cleaning the ground, applying fertilizer, and digging the soil.
Everyone worked very conscientiously, but Cheng Qiao took the opportunity to cheat and secretly dripped space water into each bucket of water.
When the land contaminated by plastic film was irrigated with well water containing space water, some of the dying wheat suddenly came back to life. The villagers were all experts in identifying wheat. They were very happy when they saw it and quickly kept the living wheat warm.
When Cheng Qiao saw his masterpiece, he was secretly happy. He thought that if he could save as many crops as possible, it would be better. These wheats were the lives of the villagers, so of course he had to find a way to save them.
Just when Cheng Qiao was about to leave, she suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if someone was staring at her closely. She turned around quickly and looked over.
Looking up, she saw the vast Xiangyang Mountain. The entire mountain was covered with snow, which reflected light under the sunlight. Something seemed to flash by on the mountainside. Cheng Qiao was not sure whether it was really something or she was dazzled.
His hand moved slightly, and he really wanted to release Little Red Head to investigate, but then he changed his mind. Little Red Head had only been practicing for a short time. If the opponent he met was a person with superpowers, Little Red Head would have no chance of winning.
"It's a coincidence. We can't go up the mountain now. It's snowing and it's very dangerous. Xiangyang said that the security team saw someone running up the mountain and said that the person was desperate."
Aunt Wang saw Cheng Qiao staring at the mountain for a long time and thought she wanted to go up the mountain. But you can't go up the mountain at this time of year, it's really dangerous.
Cheng Qiao nodded repeatedly, thanking Aunt Wang for her concern:
"I know, Aunt Wang, why don't you go back first? You look so tired that your voice is not loud anymore."
"Well, I'll go back first."
Aunt Wang did not go back directly, but took the key to Li Huan's house and went to help cook and boil water. Even Secretary Hao and the soldier were working in the fields, so she had to entertain them more attentively.
The little troublemaker ran over in a hurry. It turned out that he had received a task and learned that he had to deliver plastic film to Xiangyang Village. He was very happy and took the opportunity of delivering the film to go home.
His father knew that the little troublemaker was going on a long journey, to Cheng Qiao's hometown, which was the hometown of his future daughter-in-law, so he quickly took out something and gave it to the little troublemaker.
The little troublemaker knew what it was at first glance. It was the snow lotus that his father had risked his life to pick. It was dried and prepared to be sold for money. The money was intended for the little troublemaker to marry a wife.
"Second sister-in-law, this is the medicinal herb my father dug from the mountain. He was reluctant to eat it himself, so he heard from the village doctor that it could be dried and stored. How much do you think this thing can be sold for?"
Cheng Qiao took it and looked at it, and couldn't help but think to herself what a pity. Such good snow lotus was not prepared in time, and its medicinal properties had been lost by half. It was such a pity.
"Do you want to go to the Chen family to give the betrothal gift? You don't have any money in your hand."
The little troublemaker lowered his head and his ears turned red. His family had always been poor, but because he joined the army and his parents were hardworking, they built a big brick and tile house in their hometown, waiting to find him a wife.
But after the house was built, the house was empty again. He had saved up 300 yuan with great difficulty over the years, which would have been enough for the betrothal gift. However, he felt pressured when he learned that Qin Guoqing's father had directly given 1,000 yuan to Li Le's family.
"Second sister-in-law, I brought 300 yuan, but that year, Commander Qin, no, it was Brigade Commander Qin who gave Guoqing's wife 1,000 yuan and a lot of tickets. I can't lose to Qin Guoqing."
Cheng Qiao was stunned for a moment and looked at the little troublemaker with disapproval. Qin Daqiang was the team leader with a relatively high income and no family burden, so it was not difficult for him to earn one or two thousand yuan.
But you have many brothers and sisters, and your parents don’t have a stable income. Why do you still want to compare yourself with Qin Guoqing? This is irrational.
Also, you gave Cuihua's family a huge sum of one thousand yuan and asked Cuihua how to prepare her dowry. Isn't this cheating
"Little troublemaker, listen to me, you don't have to give that girl so much as a dowry, otherwise she won't be able to prepare a dowry. I'll give you a thousand dollars for this snow lotus."
"One thousand? No, no, no, that's too much. The village doctor in my village offered a hundred yuan to buy the herb, but my father thought it was wrong. The village chief's eldest son also collected it when he was a child and sold it for three hundred yuan. We were so envious."
Cheng Qiao shook her head and looked at the snow lotus in her hand. Although it was half dried and a little wilted, the flower was as big as a lotus and had long, snow-white hairs on the back. It was obviously a top-quality product.
One thousand is indeed a bit too much, eight hundred is about the same, but the little troublemaker helped the villagers transport plastic film without any complaints and slept in the open air, so they have to show their appreciation.
"Not much. This snow lotus is of top quality. I will collect any snow lotus your father or anyone else finds in the future."
"One thousand dollars for each?"
"It depends on the quality. The ones with very good quality may be more expensive, while the ones with poor quality may be cheaper. But don't disregard your own safety for money, otherwise I will not accept your medicinal materials in the future."
The little troublemaker was overjoyed when he heard this. One thousand yuan was an astronomical figure. No wonder his second sister-in-law didn't come out for several days after entering the Qilian Mountains. It turned out that medicinal herbs were so valuable.
Seeing the light in the little troublemaker's eyes, Cheng Qiao was very satisfied. She provided a new idea for making money, as long as they paid attention to safety and didn't be greedy.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I have another request. You must agree to it, otherwise I..."
