Chapter 7: Not good at work, but first in food

 “I’m so stupid when I’m reading, why don’t you come over and help me!”

The familiar Wuling car is my man’s car.

My man packed a cart full of tools and worked as a carpenter in Spring City renovating a house.

I come here occasionally, always with a cart full of fish feed.

This time it was not the husband who stuck his head out.

It’s Gu Zhenhua’s eldest brother Gu Zhenxing.

From afar, he saw Gu Yuan looking after his dog at the door of his house. Gu Zhenxing called him before he parked the car.

"Why is Big Daddy here?"

"I feel sorry for you. I know you have started school, and I don't want you to have to drive twice to the town and the county. I asked me to bring a cart of fish feed and leave the car for you to drive back to Chuncheng to go to school!"

Wanjingling is in the direction of Chushan next to Chuncheng, but there is no direct bus to Chuncheng.

The tricycle will be sent to the town, and the car will be transferred to the county seat, and then you can go back from the county seat to the provincial capital.

Uncle Gu Zhenxing and the Gu family are not in Wanjingling. His father Gu Zhenhua is more like a son-in-law who stepped in and followed his wife to live in Wanjingling.

Gu Yuan's grandfather and grandpa were comrades-in-arms. They saved each other's lives on the battlefield and had a good relationship. They set a marriage for their children, which is commonly known as a baby's marriage.

Grandma was in poor health. Li Rong was brought up by her eldest brother Li Qiang, who was like his father. Li Qiang started farming the family land in the village and earning money to support the family when he was more than ten years old. However, while building roads in the village, he was rolled down the mountain.

Stones pricked arms and legs.

And misfortunes never come singly, Li Rong's sister-in-law stepped down and fell down the hillside while working on the mountain.

Young Li Rong was so confused that the sky fell.

Just when Li Rong collapsed, Gu Zhenhua, who came to fulfill the engagement, took the initiative to marry into the Li family, and his tone could not be refused.

He took on the responsibility of taking care of his mother-in-law and this miserable couple.

Li Qiang has no children. When Gu Yuan was born, his biological father wanted to adopt his son to his elder brother-in-law, but his elder brother-in-law and his mother-in-law refused to agree.

Until a few years ago, Li Qiang's mother passed away due to illness, and Li Qiang and his wife also passed away one after another.

Gu Yuan has been studying in the county town since middle school. After the death of his mother-in-law and uncle, Gu Zhenhua replaced his land with a reservoir and began to decorate houses for others, make furniture, and earn money by working in Chuncheng.

The courtyard of the Li family, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly became deserted.

Li Rong doesn't care.

Not to mention Wanjingling, the entire Chushan Prefecture is not like this?

Young people and strong laborers have come to the city.

Those left in the mountains are old, weak, women and children.

My man pretends to be himself and feels sorry for the freight cost every time he hires a car to transport feed home. Whether he drives back by himself or asks someone to bring him back, the car is not filled with fish feed, but with heavy feelings.

People in Tiannan call their eldest uncle eldest father and their younger uncle auntie. To avoid misunderstanding, the father is called biological father.

Therefore, being called daddy in southwest China does not necessarily mean that you will become an old man with one shot.

"Daddy, give me another bag."

Although the Wuling is a magical car, the little fish feed it contains is only enough for the Jingyue Bay Reservoir for two days.

Gu's courtyard is a traditional Tiannan residence, with three rooms and one screen wall. The left and right podiums are a bit too big and are not used for living, so they look weird.

The house is very large, with the main building covering an area of ​​more than 300 square meters.

On the left side of the yard is an unused broodstock pond covering an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters. The fish pond also extends outside the house. On the right side is a large warehouse specially used for loading feed.

Not to mention Wuling’s amazing cars, even large trucks can be driven in.

Whether it is Gu Zhenhua or Li Rong, they feel that they have inherited the obsessive-compulsive disorder of the descendants of soldiers, and they are used to stacking the feed neatly.

Li Rong and Gu Yuan, who were quick with their hands and feet, unloaded the feed in the car into the warehouse in a short time.

"Okay, I can carry two hundred kilograms of feed at a time and walk steadily. You, a college student, are just stuck."

The eldest father who patted Gu Yuan on the back did not live in Jingyue Village, but in Sanchahe, dozens of kilometers away.

The small amount of land at home was not enough for my daughter-in-law to play around with. In order to have a better life, I had been working with Gu Yuan’s biological father to decorate people in Chuncheng for a long time.

It's just that the eldest father Gu Zhenxing only knows the carpenter's craft, and his carpentry skills are not as good as his second brother Gu Zhenhua.

I'm afraid it was a convenient way to drive back this time. He hadn't been home all summer, and he had to go home to see his children.

"Gu Yuan, when your biological father called you to go back to school, he drove to Chuncheng and called him yourself. I won't go back this time. I will go to Chushan to see Gu Xiao first!"

Gu Xiao is the second daughter of her eldest father's family. She is still in high school in Chushan. His eldest son has graduated from a vocational and technical college and is working in Spring City.

Gu Zhenxing didn't go home all summer. He took advantage of the start of school to send tuition fees, and the living expenses were decided by his daughter.

He also misses his little cotton-padded jacket.

That's good, so Gu Yuan doesn't have to go around the corner to pick up his uncle when he's at school and go to Spring City together.

"Okay, I'll take Dad to Chushan!"

"Looking at how sweaty you are, you'd better go take a shower. I'll change clothes and deliver them to you. I'll also go to Chushan to buy some things and see Zhang Xiao!"

Everything is good in the countryside, but transportation is inconvenient. In the city, in addition to relying on two legs, there are buses and subways.

Now every household has a car or a motorcycle, and the passenger shuttle bus business is not doing well, with fewer and fewer lines and flights.

Fortunately, in addition to the magic car, there is also a three-wheel motorcycle at home. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient to go to the city to sell mushrooms.

Of course Gu Yuan would be happy to see his mother off.

Watching the magic car take the uncle away, he closed the door, took the two dogs, and ran to his own little world to pick up fungi.

You don’t have to lie to deal with your mother.

The clear sky is as blue as water.

The waterfall reflects a rainbow of seven colors in the sunlight.

The scenery of the small world is fascinating.

Gu Yuan had no intention of looking at the scenery.

He headed towards the snow-capped mountains. According to the scene he saw the day he picked up the topaz, that pine forest was rich in the most valuable matsutake mushrooms.

He has already seen it, what a big matsutake.

Sure enough, the hard work paid off. The two dogs couldn't run away and crawled to the ground. Gu Yuan found two hillsides rich in matsutake. Adding the harvest from the previous two days, he had dozens of baskets and carried a basket full of them.

A variety of wild mushrooms of superior quality.

Even the firecracker cartons he moved in were padded with plastic bags and filled with fungi.

Chicken fir, matsutake, white onion mushroom, delicious boletus, yellow boletus, dry mushroom, brown boletus, truffle...

All the valuable varieties on the market are available.

These are the harvest he spent in the past three days, traveling over mountains and ridges, driving away wild beasts and poisonous snakes, and picking.

The taste is endless and I am addicted to the sashimi, stew, tosa and hawk sauce.

These two silly dogs are not good at work, but they are the best at cooking.

I don’t know if I can help to deal with the fungus. I need to smear the chicken fir with mud and scrape the matsutake clean.

Gu Yuan also killed a chicken, cut a lot of mushrooms and stewed them, treating his mother and himself.

Even though he didn't tell Li Rong what kind of fungi to use, Li Rong still tasted the taste of chicken fir and jianshouqing and said he was spending money indiscriminately.

He doesn't care either.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

He needs the fastest time to deliver these fresh wild mushrooms to the market.

"Son, take it, it's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out. My mother is raising fish at home, so it's not like she doesn't know the outside world. Money is used everywhere!"

I saw my mother hand over a stack of banknotes wrapped in cut-out fish feed packaging bags, weighing them at least five thousand.

This is not tuition and living expenses.

The family's big money is in the hands of his father, and his tuition and living expenses are all provided by his father in Spring City.

During the summer vacation, the money from the two fish sales at the reservoir was used to exchange for feed. This was the money my mother received from delivering fish to several county restaurants a few days ago.

Mother usually uses this money for her own living expenses and house expenses.

If he hadn't gotten the little world a few days ago, Gu Yuan might have happily thanked his mother after taking the money.

Now I feel like this money.

Heavy.
