Chapter 18 It’s hard to have a future by running in the mountains
After leaving his second uncle’s house, Wang Xiaoshan rode directly to the express delivery station.
He arrived at the express delivery site early. When the staff at the site saw Wang Xiaoshan coming, they thought it was almost time to get off work again.
In the past few days, when Wang Xiaoshan went to deliver express delivery, he almost always arrived at the end of the express delivery time. The other time he arrived after get off work, this time he arrived so early, and everyone was still a little uncomfortable.
Wang Xiaoshan's delivery today was not as fast as the past few days. He first weighed the wild Hericium mushrooms one by one, then took photos, packed them and marked them.
Then send a private message to the viewers who are qualified to purchase. After confirming that it is correct, collect the payment, fill in the form, and ship the goods.
While Wang Xiaoshan was weighing and packing, a 60-year-old man came to the express delivery station and was preparing to express some mountain goods to his daughter in the city.
The old man’s name is Sun Desheng, and he is also a mountain runner.
The old man looked at Wang Xiaoshan who was busy at work. At first, he thought he was a staff member at the express delivery site. Later, after asking about it, he found out that Wang Xiaoshan came to deliver goods every day.
The old man was very surprised when he heard this. He had never seen such a young Mountain Runner in his memory. There were no big gatherings these days, so it must be a Mountain Runner who could come every day to distribute mountain goods.
The old man did not disturb Wang Xiaoshan who was busy at work, and waited until Wang Xiaoshan finished his work before going up to say hello.
Sun Desheng: "Young man, did you go to the mountains to collect these?" The old man pointed to the express box in front of Wang Xiaoshan.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Well, I just picked them today."
Sun Desheng: "This is the first time I have seen young people running in the mountains in so many years. Mountain running is very hard."
Most of the young people in the village are working outside. Even if they are at home, they are not willing to run in the mountains, because running in the mountains is very hard and requires a lot of patience.
Mountain runners have to get up early and stay up late every day, climb mountains and rivers, and endure mosquito bites. Especially in humid and hot environments, it is not something ordinary people can bear.
Moreover, we have to face an unknown harvest. No one is willing to put in the effort and take the risk, which is far less reliable than earning a fixed salary for a day.
Wang Xiaoshan: "Okay, let's just treat it as exercise. Are you a mountain runner too?"
Sun Desheng: "Yeah, but I don't go to the mountains very often now. My body can't handle it as I get older. I go there once in a while just to send some mountain goods to my daughter."
Wang Xiaoshan: "Look at your strong body!"
Sun Desheng: "No, I'm 65. Why don't you go to work, young man? The income from mountain running is very unstable and dangerous."
Wang Xiaoshan: "I quit my job due to the epidemic. I feel that running in the mountains is not bad. I can exercise and earn money at the same time."
Sun Desheng: "It is difficult to have a future by running in the mountains. The income from mountain running is always unstable, and it is easy to leave the root of the disease when you get old."
Wang Xiaoshan: "There must be someone who can pass on the spirit of mountain running and spread the stories of the mountains."
In Wang Xiaoshan's view, it is better to pursue this kind of comfortable life than to engage in intrigues and intrigues in the entangled workplace.
In Wang Xiaoshan's view, there are many ways to make money. He uses live broadcasts to let viewers from all over the world learn about the mountains, and calls on everyone to protect the mountains. At the same time, he can also earn good income by selling mountain goods.
Wang Xiaoshan chatted with Sun Desheng for a while, and then he left.
Today, Wang Xiaoshan’s income is still very good. Wild Hericium mushrooms cost 500 per catty. He sold 28 wild Hericium mushrooms, earning an income of tens of thousands per day.
Wang Xiaoshan went home happily. As soon as he entered the house, he smelled the aroma of stewed chicken.
Wild Hericium Mushroom Stewed Chicken is definitely a tough dish. It is nutritious, nourishes the stomach, and can also improve the body's immunity.
Grandma also fried two vegetarian dishes, one meat and two vegetarian, and paired them with the big white steamed buns she steamed, it was amazing!
The second elder ate some chicken, but most of the meat was eaten by Wang Xiaoshan. At the end of the meal, he lay on the recliner and burped.
Wang Xiaoshan poured the remaining soup and uneaten meat into the dog bowl. There was very little salt in the soup, so dogs could drink it.
All the energy consumed in a day was replenished with one meal. Wang Xiaoshan sat comfortably in the yard, watched short videos for a while, and bought some beef jerky and milk.
I reported today's situation to the elders, but Wang Xiaoshan did not mention that he encountered a snake in the mountains. Reporting good news but not bad news would save the elders from worrying.
Wang Xiaoshan's daily life now is almost three o'clock and one line at home, on the mountain, and at the express delivery station. Although Wang Xiaoshan is almost the same as when he worked before, Wang Xiaoshan enjoys it.
Wang Xiaoshan was playing on his mobile phone when his grandma suddenly came over and asked: "Does Xiaoshan have a girlfriend?"
Wang Xiaoshan was stunned by this sentence, and he answered after a long time: "Ah, no."
It's true that there is no pot that cannot be opened. Now Wang Xiaoshan is digging for treasures every day and is so happy that he can't think of finding a girlfriend.
Wang Xiaoshan did have a girlfriend when he was in college, but graduation season is equal to breakup season, and long-distance relationships cannot escape the fate of breakup after all.
After going to work, Wang Xiaoshan only has a small salary and is busy at work. He has no time to find a girlfriend. If he wants to find a girlfriend, he must solve two big problems: banknotes and 996.
Singles have the same pain as singles, which is the urge to get married.
Villages are not as open as cities. Late marriage, late childbearing, DINK or no marriage are normal in big cities, but they are not easy to do in villages.
Or never come back. If you come back as long as you are not married, the urge to get married will be annoying to death.
After hearing Wang Xiaoshan's answer, grandma said: "It's time to think about it. Your grandfather and I are still waiting to have a grandson!"
Wang Xiaoshan had no choice but to respond: "Okay, I'll think about it as soon as possible."
The second elder saw that other elders in the village had already embraced their great-grandson, so he was a little anxious, fearing that he would not see him again in his lifetime.
All Wang Xiaoshan can think about is digging for treasures, so how can he think about anything else? Now Wang Xiaoshan feels that the young lady no longer has the time to dig for treasures and increase her attributes to burn incense.
When Wang Xiaoshan saw that grandma didn't ask any more questions, he hurried to see the freezer that arrived today, and by the way, he moved all the frozen goods in the refrigerator into the freezer.
After washing up and lying on the bed at night, he suddenly found several missed calls. Wang Xiaoshan didn't know who called them, so he ignored them. He lay on the bed and played with his phone for a while before falling asleep.
Wang Xiaoshan slept very soundly at night. The rooster crowed at dawn the next day. He went to bed early yesterday. Today he slept an hour more than usual.
Wang Xiaoshan feels very energetic today, and his fatigue and physical strength from yesterday have been restored.
After getting up and washing up, Wang Xiaoshan felt extremely energetic. It may have something to do with the chicken stewed with Hericium mushrooms yesterday. He climbed too many trees yesterday, and his limbs and waist still had varying degrees of soreness.
Wang Xiaoshan didn't see any blind massage or acupuncture cupping place in the village. He climbed mountains with high intensity every day, and his body's own recovery was still a bit slow.
Since Wang Xiaoshan was not available, he planned to buy a household one online. After much selection, he finally chose an air-extraction vacuum cupping device and an acupuncture treatment device.
The treatment device is simple and easy to operate. When the time comes, the two elders can use the treatment device for acupuncture.
