After Wang Yue traveled through time, he saw the roof of the adobe house that was leaking some light. The roof seemed to be made of wood and straw. He took another look at his clothes, and there were several patches on them.
While he was lying on the bed thinking, he heard someone shouting from outside the door, "Splash is coming! Come in quickly, come in quickly! Please help me to persuade him, Xiao Yue has been lying in the house for several days, eh."
"
When Wang Yue was wondering who Shui Hua was, a girl with a clear voice and a thick northern Shaanxi accent said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will persuade you."
Wang Yue heard the conversation between the two and retrieved his own memory. Now in 1991, he was less than nineteen years old and living in Yongquan Village at the foot of Liupan Mountain, a poor country exempt from agricultural taxes.
He was admitted to a technical secondary school because his family was too poor and his father was ill. There was really no money for him to go to a technical secondary school, so he had no choice but to stop him from going to school.
It didn't matter at first. He accepted his fate. He didn't go to school, he was too young and couldn't work, so he could only work at home.
In this poor ravine, if you are busy all day long, you can only fill your stomach by making a fuss, and there is no real goal.
Just like this, a period of time passed. A few days ago, news came out here that Ma Defu, whose grades in their class were not as good as his, has now been assigned to work at the agricultural machinery station. You must know that it is an iron rice bowl, and he no longer has to eat potatoes every day.
Therefore, Wang Yue felt uncomfortable and felt that his life should not be like this. When he looked at eating potatoes every day, he could no longer eat them and found it difficult to swallow, so he could only drink water.
After being so hungry for several days, he finally fainted and when he woke up, he became the current Wang Yue.
…
The girl who came in was called Li Shuihua. When she was in school, she was close to Ma Defu, the object of Wang Yue's envy.
Ma Defu's father was originally a village cadre, and he was a lively person. The conditions at home were naturally better than other families. He was also kind-hearted and often helped his classmates in the village. However, Li Shuihua's family was poor and had a lazy father.
Life was quite difficult, and Ma Defu was always very helpful.
Of course, Ma Defu's father, Ma Huashui, is a capable person, which means that although the family's conditions are a little better, they are not much better. After all, in the mountainous area of Yongquan Village, no matter how rich you are, you can only eat potatoes to be a little full.
That's all.
Therefore, what Ma Defu could do to help Li Shuihua was just to help her clean the house, fight off those boys who wanted to take advantage of her, and give her a piece of potato to eat when Li Shuihua didn't eat. It was that simple and pure.
Even so, Ma Defu gained Li Shuihua's favor, and everyone in the village felt that the two were in love.
Later, the two began to talk about this hazy love, but with the arrival of the high school entrance examination, this relationship ended without any problems.
…
Li Shuihua saw that Wang Yue was in a daze after seeing her. She thought that Wang Yue thought that the two of them were in the same boat, so she walked to Wang Yue and said comfortingly, "What are you doing to make your mother worried?"
What's going on! Look, I'm not in school either, so I still have to live my life, right?"
Seeing what Li Shuihua said, Wang Yue thought of the girl in his memory who couldn't go to school because of her family situation, so he asked casually, "What do you want to do in the future? Are you going to live like this?"
Li Shuihua looked at Wang Yue, and then said seriously, "How can I live my life otherwise? I am just a girl. To use my father's words, I will get married sooner or later."
Wang Yue was a little stunned. Seeing that the girl was a little resigned to her fate, he hesitated and asked, "Don't you think about going out to work?"
Li Shuihua smiled bitterly, and then said melancholy, "You also know what the situation is like in my family? Can I walk away?"
Wang Yue didn't expect that he would mention someone's sadness in one sentence, so he hesitated and asked, "What difficulties did you encounter?"
Li Shuihua's rough little hands kept touching the corners of her clothes, and said with some disappointment, "My dad is looking for someone for me. Do you want to sell me at a good price?"
Wang Yue was a little curious after hearing this. He wanted to know how much a woman in this era cost, so he cheered up and asked, "How much is your dad going to sell it for you?"
Li Shuihua glanced at Wang Yue in surprise, and then said jokingly, "What? You still want to buy it? Let me tell you, you can't afford it. My dad wants a water cellar, a donkey, two
A sheep, two cages of chickens, and two hundred yuan!"
Wang Yue originally asked casually, but he didn't expect Li Shuihua to tease him. He thought Li Shuihua couldn't let Ma Defu go, so he asked curiously, "You didn't like the one you were interested in?"
Li Shuihua understood what Wang Yue meant. She shook her head and said helplessly, "I just don't really want to marry far away. How can my dad live alone if I leave?"
After Wang Yue heard this, he became a little curious. Li Shuihua's father had to sell her for that little thing, and she still missed him as her father.
He asked curiously, "Don't you blame your father?"
Li Shuihua shook his head and said helplessly, "What's so strange? It's fate. Besides, if my father only wanted money, he wouldn't have to inquire about the blind date first. He has already scolded me.
There have been several matchmakers."
Only then did Wang Yue understand that although this father was too lazy to eat, he still had some affection between father and daughter and had never thought of pushing his daughter into a pit of fire.
He said jokingly, "Then wait a few days and when I make money, I'll talk to your dad."
Li Shuihua gave Wang Yue a slap. She didn't expect that Wang Yue would actually have such thoughts, so she felt a little embarrassed and immediately started talking to Wang Yue about something else.
Wang Yue also didn't expect that Li Shuihua, a girl, could have such strong hands, and the blow was quite painful. However, thinking that Li Shuihua had been working at home all year round, he did understand.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The two chatted for a long time. In the middle, my mother brought some potatoes and let the two of them eat some. They chatted until the evening. Li Shuihua looked at
Wang Yue was normal, so she left with peace of mind.
…
Wang Yue was able to eat well, and his parents were very happy. They gave him all the best food in the house. Even the guinea fowl distributed in the village for poverty relief stewed one for Wang Yue.
The old couple were good to Wang Yue, and Wang Yue felt that he needed to do something to change his life. He thought that this was a mountain, so he had to rely on the mountain to survive.
This is the Quwu Mountain area. Thinking about what else there is in the mountains, Wang Yue thought that if you go for a walk in the mountains, you might become rich. This is also the fastest way to make money.
So one morning, Wang Yue told his family that he would go to the next village to play with his classmates for a few days and then come back. Then he took a cloth bag and packed a few potatoes and went out.
Wang's parents didn't care about this either. Now is not the busy time for farming, so it would be good for Wang Yue to go out and relax. It's better than staying at home and thinking nonsense.
When passing by the door of Li Shuihua's house, he saw Li Shuihua clearing the dishes. He said hello to Li Shuihua, then borrowed a shovel from Defu's house and went up the mountain.
…
In fact, he thought simply. The things he could think of had already been tried by the poor and scared people, and anything of value in the nearby mountains had long been poached away.
He was a little unwilling to run away in vain, so he walked farther and farther into the mountains. He always ran to wherever there were few people.
Wang Yue was already in good shape and had a shovel to help him. The most dangerous thing along the way was encountering a venomous snake. There were no dangerous animals at all, or in other words, other animals were not as dangerous as him.
His hard work paid off, and on his third day in the mountain, he found some Ganoderma lucidum that could be sold for money. Although the age was not very high, there were so many of them that he couldn't even finish filling his cloth bag.
Now that he had found something that could be sold for money, Wang Yue took the things to the county and found a drugstore that collected wild goods to sell them. He felt that it was a pity to go back like this. After all, where some people walked, there were others who dared to
If you wait a little longer, those wild Ganoderma lucidum may be robbed.
He went to the agricultural machinery station to find Ma Defu and asked him to deliver a message to his family. Then he went up the mountain again, loaded up the remaining Ganoderma lucidum, and then returned to the village.
But what made him a little confused just now was that when he went back, he felt that the people in the village looked at him strangely, which made him think something had happened, so he hurriedly ran home.
Just when Wang Yue ran home, the children in the village also ran after him. Some villagers who saw him coming back from a distance also ran towards Wang Yue's home.
This made Wang Yue even more confused. What happened at home? Could it be because he disappeared for a few days and something big happened at home?
When he ran to the door of his house, he saw his mother rushing out of the courtyard with the rolling pin. She looked so powerful that Wang Yue was startled.
He immediately realized that his absence from home for the past few days had made his family worried, so he quickly said with a smile, "Mom, I just went to play for a few days. Nothing happened at home, right?"
When Wang Yue's mother heard what Wang Yue said, she immediately came to her senses. She quickly rushed to Wang Yue as if she wanted to beat him.
Wang Yue didn't dare to hide. He was ready to be beaten twice, but unexpectedly, Wang's mother twisted his arm, then grabbed his ears and walked home.
Mrs. Wang dragged her toward the courtyard and said, "If you want to get a wife, tell your family, what are you doing if you run away? Can't we figure it out together as a family!"
Wang Yue was a little confused. What was this and what? He asked with some confusion, "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand a word?"
Wang's mother saw that Wang Yue still didn't admit it, so she said angrily, "People have already said it, and now everyone in the village knows it, why are you pretending?"
Wang Yue was confused. He didn't know what was going on. In order to let go of his mother's ear-pulling hand, he quickly took out a pile of money from his pocket, which was part of the money he earned from selling Ganoderma lucidum last time.
, a full several thousand yuan.
Sure enough, the money ability was very useful. After Mrs. Wang saw the money, she took back her hand. She asked in surprise, "Where did this money come from?"
Wang Yue quickly put down the cloth bag he was carrying, and then explained with a smile, "I went up the mountain to dig for Ganoderma lucidum. I found a piece of it, so I dug up half of it and sold it. What was in the bag was what I dug later."
After hearing Wang Yue's explanation, Mrs. Wang poked Wang Yue with her finger, and then said angrily, "Next time, tell your family about this. Your dad and I will worry about not being able to eat or sleep well."
