The next morning, the sun rose in the east and hung in the sky, illuminating the green mountains and green forests for several kilometers around Qingshan Village.
Even the creek that passes through the village is sparkling, with birds chirping and flowers fragrant, creating a quiet rural scene.
The villagers got up at dawn, and after a simple breakfast of steamed buns with poached eggs, every household dressed in tattered work clothes, pushed a cart and carried a hoe, humming the resonant song "Red in the Mountains" and headed for the fields behind the village.
The day's plan begins in the morning, as early as possible during the busy farming season. Hundreds of households in Qingshan Village are making preparations in advance for the fruits and vegetables promised by Sun Yahan.
And at this moment.
A wisp of smoke rises from the yard of the Li family in the west end of the village. My father-in-law, Li Dashan, is now the main cook.
After the porridge and pickles were served, Jin Mei told Li Xiaoran, who had gotten up early, to wake up his distinguished uncle Yang Chen.
Yang Chen got up with a heavy tone, washed up and served the table.
Li Xiaoran was so angry when she saw her father and mother's enthusiastic expressions. She thought about it all night last night, but she still couldn't figure out what Yang Chen was capable of. He said he was making money, but he made 13,000 in just three to five days.
Thousand dollars.
This income of more than 10,000 yuan is already the net income of their three acres of watermelon land for a year.
"Uncle, your father and I will go to the fields to clean up the mess later. You can wait at home with Xiao Ran. If you can, cook some food. If you don't want to, just ask your father to come back and do it.
"
Jin Mei looked at Yang Chen who was eating breakfast in the wind, narrowed his eyes and smiled.
"I think so."
Li Dashan also squatted on the stool with a bowl in hand, looked up and nodded.
How can a son-in-law work in the fields if he is so capable?
"Mom and Dad, you spoil him too much!"
Li Xiaoran pouted and said a little unconvinced.
"Remember to wash the dishes later!"
Jin Mei glared at Li Xiaoran, feeling that Li Xiaoran was her daughter-in-law.
Li Xiaoran's face darkened with anger, and he glared fiercely at Yang Chen, who was still concentrating on eating, but stopped talking.
"Mom and Dad, today I promised Miss Sun that I would go to Jishengtang for a consultation, and by the way, I would like to meet a boss with her. Since our family promised to sell the fruits and vegetables in the village, we must find a way.
We can’t let others say that our family doesn’t keep its word.”
"By the way, last night when I was out for a walk, I went to the fields and got some special medicinal materials for the watermelon fields. Those watermelons should still grow in the next few days. Be careful when cleaning up the rotten watermelons later.
"
Yang Chen then put down the bowls and chopsticks, wiped his mouth with his sleeves and said.
"Yes, my uncle is right. You can't keep your word. Let's show these heartless people in the village that my uncle is the real one! Not only has he become a shareholder of Jishengtang, but he can also help solve the problem of food for the entire village.
problem."
Upon hearing this, Jin Mei nodded quickly, her eyebrows full of pride.
"Honey, I'll help you buy roast duck when you come back."
Yang Chen stood up and bared his teeth while smiling while putting on his coat.
"What roast duck?"
Li Xiaoran was stunned and her cheeks turned slightly red. She had dreamed about a table of roast duck last night.
"Whether it's a dream talk or the truth, what my wife says is the truth in my heart, and I must make arrangements!"
Yang Chen blinked his eyes, said hello, turned around and walked out of the yard with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Look, Yang Chen is so kind to you! He even remembers your sleep talk. Where can I find such a son-in-law? The ancestors of our old Li family are smoking!"
Jin Mei looked at Yang Chen's back as he left the house, pushed the stunned Li Xiaoran, and laughed and cursed.
"Your mother is right."
Li Dashan didn't talk much, and every sentence was a key echo.
"Don't do the real thing, just worry about it..."
Li Xiaoran mumbled angrily, but raised his big beautiful eyes slightly, secretly looking at Yang Chen's courtyard door, his cheeks turned slightly red, his red lips opened slightly, but he hesitated to speak.
After leaving the house, Yang Chen put one hand in his pocket and held a cigarette in the other as he walked leisurely through the village. He didn't care about the eyes or pointing fingers of the villagers, and walked towards the urban and rural bus boarding point two kilometers away.
And go.
"Buzz!"
Just when he left the village and walked less than 500 meters, the sound of a motorcycle came from behind.
"Yang Chen?"
The next moment, a surprised exclamation came from his ears.
When Yang Chen turned his head, he saw a woman wearing tight jeans and loose white short-sleeves riding an old motorcycle, with one foot on the ground and smiling at him. She looked a bit like a country motorcycle.
The woman appears to be less than thirty years old. She has thick long hair tied at the back of her head with a pink rubber band, and a few bangs on her forehead. There is a frankness and straightforwardness between her eyebrows.
Because she has been working in the village all year round, the woman's skin is a little yellowed, but the muscles on her arms can be seen from the rolled-up sleeves. It can be seen that she is often exercised by doing heavy work.
In terms of figure alone, he is on par with Tian Fang, but he doesn't have Tian Fang's charming temperament. He is more like the kind of buddy who can be a brother.
Such people are more capable than men in the village and are role models for women.
"Sister Lu."
Yang Chen looked at the woman in front of him for a long time before recalling her name.
Tian Lu, the only older leftover girl in the village, has a mother who has been suffering from cerebral palsy for many years to take care of, so she has never been married. A few years ago, she was almost married through a matchmaker, but was rejected because of her mother.
But because she is stronger than men, she manages the few acres of land at home quite well, and her reputation in the village is quite good.
The motorcycle she rode was bought at a second-hand market for a thousand yuan, which she earned by working as a waiter in the county town when she was not busy farming.
"Where to go?"
Tian Lu looked at the handsome Yang Chen and showed a hearty smile.
She was different from others. She didn't look down on Yang Chen because he became the son-in-law of Li Dashan's family. Instead, she felt that such a man was a good man worthy of trust.
"Go to the county seat."
In Yang Chen's impression, a woman like Tian Lu is indeed good, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Come up here and take you for a ride."
Tian Lu patted the seat behind her and said with a smile.
"Sister Lu is also going to the county seat?"
Yang Chen was not polite, he raised his legs and rode directly on the motorcycle, smiling.
"My mother has been paralyzed in bed for many years, and she has to go to the county town every month to get medicine. I heard that Jishengtang is holding an event recently, and there are discounts on medical treatment and medicine, so I want to take a look."
When Tian Lu talked about her mother, a hint of helplessness flashed in her cheerful eyes.
"That's a coincidence. I also go to Jishengtang."
Yang Chen could tell that Tian Lu didn't know that Sun Yahan from Jishengtang came to the house, so he smiled and said: "I have something to do at Jishengtang, and I can help you negotiate the price then."
"Then hold on tight, let's go together and come back together later."
Tian Lu turned the accelerator, shifted into gear, kicked the accelerator and headed towards the county seat at lightning speed.
