Watching the car drive into the yard, Zhong Sangui rubbed his eyes as he drove in. When he saw the man in the car getting out of the car, he was looking around his house. Even a cough in the house could be heard by outsiders, almost only

When the door with the effect of a screen came towards him, he was sure that he was really coming to his home.

Behind this one person in the car was a group of villagers with puzzled faces, which made him feel scared. What happened?

You won’t let me grow ginseng anymore?

Over the years, he and his son Da Kui had lived on a few acres of thin land. Life was tight and everyone in the village rejected him. Zhong Sanguai was the only poor man in this wealthy village. If he hadn't understood the situation in the past two years,

He often fawns over the village chief Gao Qi, why is it his turn to grow ginseng!

But the land he hired was also of the lowest quality, and others kept their secrets secret when imparting planting experience, so the survival rate of his ginseng was the lowest.

Besides, ginseng is very profitable but it takes a long time to wait. Unlike growing crops, which can be harvested in autumn after planting in spring, if ginseng grows and can be sold, it will take three to five years.

Five-year-old ginseng is good, but three-year-old ginseng is thin, small, and worthless.

Zhong Sanguaizi's family borrowed from here and there, only enough to cover three-thirds of the field's worth of ginseng. Ginseng is delicate and requires very high nutrients from the soil. Moreover, it can neither be exposed to the sun nor allow the leaves to accumulate water, so a shed must be built to protect it from the sun and rain.

, this is a lot of investment.

This does not include the investment in regular weeding, drainage, and fertilization.

Just from the three-thirds of land, Zhong Sanguaizi and his son Da Kui were so tired that they couldn't stand up straight. It was more laborious than taking care of a newborn baby.

In the past two years, he had added a lot of money to ginseng, and even married off his sixteen-year-old daughter to nearby Wangjiatun, and used the bride price to buy seeds.

He watched eagerly every day to ensure that these baby bumps would not get sick or suffer disaster. After three years of success, they would really grow up and sell them for money. The hard life of their Zhong family would really be over.

If you marry Da Kui a daughter-in-law, the Zhong family will become more prosperous.

Therefore, the current Zhong family has nothing of value except the ginseng in the field. No one is willing to interact with him for fear that he will open his mouth to borrow money.

He has already spent all his money on the fields. What should he do if he is told that he can no longer plant ginseng?

Before the man could lock the door of his house, he opened the door with trembling hands.

The strange middle-aged man asked respectfully: "Is this the home of Mr. Zhong Zhennan?"

He was stunned for a moment and forgot to answer.

But it was his wife, his fourth woman, Sister Li, who reacted quickly, pushed the stunned man, and answered for him: "Well, you want to find my wife?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Sister Li, smiled politely, then turned his gaze back to Zhong Sanguaizi's face, pushed up his glasses and said: "Uncle Zhong, I was entrusted by a friend to come to see your nephew Zhong Cheng.

”

When someone mentioned Zhong Cheng, Sister Li became anxious at first: "I just said don't let this kid come over. I don't know if he is real or not. If you don't listen to me, this is good. I don't know how to mess with this kid."

No matter what, people have found it here!"

The middle-aged man smiled and explained again: "Auntie, you misunderstood! Zhong Cheng helped my friend, and I want to express my gratitude on my friend's behalf!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhong Sanguaizi was even more confused. Since the other party had no ill intentions, he was a guest. He quickly forgot to leave the room and stayed with him while he asked his wife to quickly find his nephew and come back.

After a while, Zhong Cheng entered the room, and the middle-aged man said: "My name is He Xianjun, I am Lin Ze's friend. He told me that when we were at Shanyan Railway Station, you helped him and lent him two

Yuan, I came here specifically to pay you back!"

Zhong Cheng suddenly realized that it turned out to be the unlucky one, and I had forgotten about him! At that time, he said that he was following a rich boss. I didn't believe it at the time, but it seemed to be true. He only paid for two yuan.

Even if he made a special trip, he wouldn't even have enough gas money.

He Xianjun not only gave two yuan to Zhong Cheng, but also took out two bottles of Hongtashan and two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao from the car, placed them respectfully on the Kang of Zhong's house, and then said goodbye and left, leaving Zhong Sanguai to do whatever he wanted.

He refused to stay for dinner even if he was invited.

"I will follow Lin Ze back in two days, and I will inevitably come here to bother you. I have something else to do today, and it is really inconvenient, so please stay."

After He Xianjun finished speaking, he drove away in the car.

Now Sister Li's eyes changed when she looked at Zhong Cheng. She asked Zhong Cheng with a smile on her face: "Xiao Cheng, you kid is really good at hiding things. How did you get involved with such a big shot? Tell me quickly...

…”

How dare he say that he went to find a secret door, was blackmailed, and was rescued? He was glad that Lin Ze didn't tell this person today about the stupid things he committed on impulse, otherwise he would have been beaten up by his cousin.

No.

Zhong Sanguaizi also felt that he had grown taller today. The villagers no longer called him "guaizi" or "guaizi", but instead asked him with respect and envy:

"Brother Zhong, are you a relative?"

"Brother Zhong, don't forget us when you get rich!"

After the car left, the children continued to chase the car's exhaust fumes to the end of the village.

This time, the car turned into the courtyard of the village committee.

The children were lying in front of the window of the village committee. They saw the polite uncle just took out a thick envelope and slapped it on the table of the village chief, Grandpa Gao. The two of them didn't know what they said. Grandpa Gao was very excited.

, the high chest undulated violently, like a big toad in the pond.

Then the polite uncle drove back the way he came, but Grandpa Gao who was standing in front of the table fell to the ground with a pop. Then, the village health worker was called in and pinched and pressed Grandpa Gao.

Only then did he come back to life...

At night, most people in the village had rested, but Gao Qi got out of his house and walked towards the north end of the village, hands behind his back.

At this time, there were no lights in the village, it was pitch black, and except for the endless chirping of summer crickets and cicadas, no other sound could be heard.

Gao Qi walked all the way to the northernmost courtyard of Zhong Sanguizi's house before stopping.

At this time, the Zhong family room was also dark, and Gao Qi screamed: "Old Zhong, are you asleep?"

When the garden dog in the Zhong family's yard heard it, it howled and made a jingling sound on the iron chain.

After a while, there was light in the room.

"Who is it, in the middle of the night?"

It was Zhong Sanguai's voice. He didn't come out. He just shouted from the window into the yard while getting dressed. The candlelight reflected his clumsy movements on the green curtains, like watching a movie.

"I, Gao Qi!"

"Hey, village chief, oops, I didn't know you were here, village chief. I'll open the door right now!"

When he heard that the village chief had arrived, Zhong Sangui's tone immediately became flattered. He quickly opened the curtains and looked out the window to confirm that the person coming was really Gao Qi. He quickly urged his wife to open the door, and then hurriedly walked through the door.

Pants and shoes.

After a lot of work, Sister Li brought the cooked tea to Gao Qi; the cucumbers and persimmons picked in the garden were also washed with water and placed on the table; the cigarettes that He Xianjun brought in the afternoon were also opened by Zhong Sanguizi into a box

, took it out and handed it to Gao Qi’s mouth.
