Chapter 40 Tumu Lixin in the New Era

Sanli Village, Zhang Daming's house.

Song Guanjun and Song Weixing appeared at the door of Zhang Daming's house before dawn, and Zhang Daming was already waiting here.

The reason why the three of them got together early in the morning was because Zhao Wenmu gave them the task of purchasing mushrooms in Sanli Village!

The Song Champion brothers were so happy that they almost didn't sleep all night. They arrived at Zhang Daming's house in the dark, only to find that this guy was already waiting.

The three of them laughed, all looking excited and excited.

I wish someone could sell mushrooms now.

So I squatted by the door and whispered about harvesting mushrooms later.

At dawn, Zhang Daming's sister Zhang Xiaotong got up to clean the yard and was startled when she saw several people at the door.

"Third brother, what are you doing?"

Zhang Daming is also a third-year student. He has two older brothers, Zhang Dawei and Zhang Dajiang, and a younger sister, Zhang Xiaotong.

Song Guanjun quickly pulled his younger brother Song Weixing to the side.

"Xiaotong, go make some food first, and we'll eat first when the second brother gets up."

Zhang Daming immediately ordered.

Yesterday, he made an agreement with his second brother Zhang Dajiang to ask him to go pick mushrooms early in the morning.

Zhang Dajiang is twenty-two years old and has not yet married a wife because he has no money.

A few days ago, Aunt Feng from Qian Street told their family about "good marriage", but she didn't say it to Zhang Dajiang, but to Zhang Xiaotong.

The other party is Wu Huiming, the only son of Wu Laoer in Wujiatun. Wu Laoer is the richest man in Wujiatun, and he is willing to pay a gift of 400 yuan to marry Zhang Xiaotong.

Zhang Daming's wife Cui Xianghong was immediately moved.

However, Zhang Dawei's brothers disagreed. Zhang Xiaotong was only seventeen years old, so it was too early to get married!

Zhang Daming auctioned off 200 yuan of his own money and said he could lend it to his second brother for his wedding.

Zhang Dajiang also said stiffly that he could earn his own money, but he could never exchange it for his sister.

A few days later, Zhang Daming made a special trip to Wujiatun. After some inquiring, he found out that Wu Laoer was a man who beat his wife every day, and his son Wu Huiming was not a good guy either. He bullied several younger sisters every day.

How can such a bastard be nice to his sister?

Zhang Daming was so angry that he immediately ran to Aunt Feng's house and started a scene.

Even so, Cui Xianghong still didn't give up.

The main reason is that even if the 400 yuan gift is not used to marry her son, she can still use it to give her flowers. Daughters are money losers. Even if she only has a daughter like Zhang Xiaotong, she is also the youngest child in the family. What she wants in her heart is how to get married.

Get the most benefit from her.

Selling your daughter, isn't that natural?

This is what Cui Xianghong thinks.

Zhang Xiaotong prepared the meal, and several people sat down to have breakfast. Zhang Daming's meal was very simple, only a few sweet potatoes, some tortillas and a plate of pickles.

"Second brother, you can go directly to the forest farm later. There are many and good mushrooms there."

While Zhang Daming was eating, he did not forget to give suggestions to Zhang Dajiang.

"Third Brother, does Third Brother Zhao really collect these mushrooms?"

Zhang Xiaotong still couldn't believe it. This thing was so common in their Sanli village, and few people would eat it.

And if it was like what the third brother said, 6 cents a pound, she would also like to pick mushrooms.

She can pick forty or fifty kilograms a day, which costs more than 2 yuan!

"Of course it's true. Brother Champion and Brother Satellite are here to collect it for me. Third Brother never lies!"

Brothers Song Champion and Song Weixing also nodded in agreement.

"Then I'll go pick up mushrooms later too!"

"What are you going to do, you damn girl?"

A sharp scolding sound came from behind, and it was Cui Xianghong who came out.

Song Champion and Song Weixing stood up and said hello to Cui Xianghong, but the other party ignored them. Zhang Daming stretched out his hand to sit down the two brothers who were so embarrassed that they didn't know where to put their hands.

"Have the sweet potato seedlings been overturned on the mountain? Have the grass been pulled out in the field? You damn girl, you know how to eat every day!"

"What's the point of raising you? It's better to raise a pig and kill it and eat it during the Chinese New Year!"

The old lady was not happy to see outsiders eating her food.

Zhang Xiaotong kept eating with her head down and ignored her.

Cui Xianghong saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she knocked here and there, making some noise from time to time.

Several people quickly swallowed the food in their mouths and dispersed.

"Mom, I went up the mountain to plow the sweet potato vines."

Zhang Xiaotong said something, picked up the long wooden stick used to turn over the sweet potato seedlings and left.

Sweet potato vines will grow a lot of aerial roots. If they are not picked up in time, these aerial roots will penetrate into the soil and eventually compete with the roots for nutrients, and the sweet potatoes will not grow big.

Therefore, it is necessary to flip the growth direction of the sweet potato seedlings from time to time.

Zhang Dajiang also put on his backpack and went to the forest farm to pick mushrooms.

The mushroom buying stall is located under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. Villagers often come here to enjoy the shade, and children also like to play here.

The three of them originally thought that someone would come to sell mushrooms soon, but until the sun was scorching hot and air waves began to roll on the ground, no one came to sell mushrooms.

There were only a few children playing not far away.

The three people were so anxious that they wanted to catch a few people and ask them why they weren't selling mushrooms yet!

In fact, the villagers were also waiting to see if anyone would come to sell mushrooms.

They still don't believe this thing can be sold for money.

Always worried about what trap it might be!

Compared with Shanqian Village and Shandongtou Village, Sanlizhuang is poorer and more isolated, and people's thoughts are more conservative and backward.

Not only were they worried about not being able to sell the mushrooms, they were also worried about whether there would be any problems with selling the mushrooms, even though the village cadre had brought people to talk about harvesting the mushrooms.

No one wants to be the first to eat crabs.

Even if Zhang Dajiang came to sell mushrooms once, the villagers did not believe him. After all, he was Zhang Daming's brother.

"Brother Dajiang, the total is 18 pounds and 6 taels. It costs 6 cents per pound, which is 1 yuan and 1 cent."

Song Guanjun carefully counted out 1 yuan, 1 cent and 2 cents and handed it to Zhang Dajiang.

The eldest and most attentive Song Guanjun is responsible for managing the money and accounts of this mushroom harvesting team.

Zhang Dajiang was very happy to receive the money and immediately went up the mountain again carrying the bamboo basket.

After Zhang Dajiang left, no one came for a long time.

"Weixing, go back to the village quickly and find Third Brother!"

Song Guanjun felt that if he continued to wait like this, there might be no results, so he quickly ordered Song Weixing to go back and bring in reinforcements.

Without saying anything, Song Weixing put on his bamboo hat and ran back under the scorching sun.

Zhao Wenmu did not expect that the situation in Sanli Village was so extreme.

What he could predict was that there would be very few people selling mushrooms at the beginning, but as soon as someone started, everyone would come in droves soon.

In fact, this is indeed the case in Toucun, Shandong.

At first, only five or six young people came to sell mushrooms, and each of them only had a few kilograms of mushrooms, and the least one person could not even get a kilogram.

But after these people received the money, other people also went up the mountain to pick mushrooms.

At this moment, Zhao Wenyan and the others have asked the villagers not to bring one or two kilograms of mushrooms to sell them again and again, but to ask everyone to save some and sell them once every half day.

Otherwise, they would be too busy!

Looking at Song Weixing's face, which was red and even angry, Zhao Wenmu knew that the other two people must also be anxious.

"Satellite, it's okay. There's no rush in this matter. You go home and rest for a while, I'll go over and take a look."

After talking to Zhao Jing, Zhao Wenmu got on his bicycle and came to Sanli Village.

Seeing Zhao Wenmu, Song Guanjun, and Zhang Daming all looked ashamed.

"Champion, what's going on? Is there still no one here?"

Zhao Wenmu asked directly without waiting for them to speak.
