After parting ways with Zheng Linbo, Zhang Dagang returned to the village and it was already dark.
The apple trees in the yard rustled in the evening breeze.
There was no one in the house, so Zhang Dagang took the lead and squatted in front of the ginseng tree under the apple tree.
To Zhang Dagang's expectation, even though no one was taking care of it, the ginseng tree grew surprisingly well, with green leaves and unusually thick leaves.
Zhang Dagang used the power of the dragon to explore the situation in the soil. The ginseng rhizome buried in the soil was actually a thousand years old and had well-developed roots.
According to this growth rate, it won't be long before this ginseng can really be cultivated into essence.
When the villagers learned that Zhang Dagang had returned, they enthusiastically gathered around Zhang Dagang's yard with flashlights.
"Dagang, have you come back for dinner so late today? Why don't you go to my house? Your aunt will prepare beef noodles made by a small stove for me today." Chun Chao warmly invited.
"Dagang went to my house, and my Panpan is back. The little girl was still talking about you yesterday." Another aunt even warmly invited her.
"..."
The villagers were surprisingly enthusiastic today, which made Zhang Dagang a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, two old men carrying things suddenly squeezed in from the crowd.
"Niu Zhen, Niu Zhen, Mom, why do you have the nerve to come?"
A shrewd aunt in the village looked at the two outsiders who had squeezed in, raised her voice, and cursed unhappily: "You looked down on Dagang at the beginning, but now you are so shy when you see that Dagang has the ability. You don't know why you are so thick."
face."
The aunt felt chest tightness and shortness of breath when she saw the two people coming.
I also have two nieces and three nieces, and I want to prepare to introduce them to Zhang Dagang.
That little bitch Niu Zhen is Dagang's childhood sweetheart. What if Dagang softens his heart and is deceived by Niu Zhen again with a few words?
When other people in the village saw the two coming, they all whispered to each other and said unpleasant words in an attempt to get the two to quit and leave.
Niu Zhen's mother also carried eight-treasure porridge and a box of pure milk, while Niu Zhen's father also carried a box of ham sausage and a box of longxu noodles.
Niu Zhen's mother looked at Zhang Dagang with gratitude and put the two boxes of things in her hands on the ground.
Then he threw himself in front of Zhang Dagang and said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you, Dagang. If it hadn't been for you, I would have become a small slope on the back mountain."
Niu Zhen's father put down the gift in his hand and knelt down in front of Zhang Dagang. His old wrinkled hands kept slapping his face.
"Dagang, it's all uncle's fault. It was uncle who forced Zhen'er to give up such a good man like you. Uncle is such a bastard!" Niu Zhen's father said, and the slap on his face became louder.
At this moment, the villagers in Huitian Village stopped talking and looked dumbfounded at the old man Niu kneeling on the ground.
Zhang Dagang looked at the repentant old man Niu, and the memories of the past gradually emerged in his mind.
When he was still a fool, Niu Zhen went to her home to break up with him, so he chased Niu Zhen to her home.
At the beginning, Old Man Niu had firmly told him to break up with Niu Zhen, otherwise he would kneel in front of their courtyard all day and night.
Zhang Dagang, who was still a fool, didn't have the ability to think in his head, but he actually knelt down at the door obediently.
If his sister-in-law hadn't heard the news and forcefully took him home, Zhang Dagang was sure that that fool would have been able to kneel there all day and night.
For this reason, their family was ridiculed by people from all over the country for more than half a year.
Recalling how the old man Niu looked so aloof, Zhang Dagang felt a coldness in his eyes.
He should have been angry because Old Man Niu separated him and Niu Zhen, but his heart was completely unmoved.
Zhang Dagang suppressed the coldness in his eyes and moved a small step to the side, staggering away from Niu Zhen's father's knees.
"Uncle Niu, you better get up. This junior will not be able to tolerate your kneeling." Dagang did not give him any face.
He raised his eyes and looked at the fellow villagers gathered in front of the yard and said, "I have already eaten. Don't worry about me. Go back and rest quickly."
The villagers looked at the two people surrounding Zhang Dagang and dispersed in a hurry.
When Niu Zhen's parents turned around from the scattered crowd, they saw that Zhang Dagang's courtyard door had been tightly closed.
Niu Zhen's mother let out a long sigh and glanced at her old man resentfully: "If you hadn't insisted on embarrassing Zhang Dagang, our daughter would be like a queen in Huitian Village now."
Old Man Niu sighed and looked at the gift he had put at his feet for Zhang Dagang. He wanted to put it at the door, but he was afraid that some naughty child would open it, so he had to take it back again.
These things are considered to be the best things in their village. Unexpectedly, Zhang Dagang didn't even take a look at them.
It seems that Zhang Dagang must have much more money now than Niu Zhen's boyfriend who is a doctor.
The two old men looked back at the courtyard door of Zhang Dagang's house three times a step, expecting Zhang Dagang to open it.
Black enveloped the whole world, and the two old men returned to their homes in the next village.
Niu Zhen was sitting on the sofa at home, watching variety shows with great interest. From time to time, she would throw a melon seed into her mouth, and the skin of the melon seed would be vomited all over the room.
When Old Man Niu saw her like this, he became even more angry.
Fortunately, he had such an old face and took the initiative to kneel down to Zhang Dagang in front of the villagers of Huitian Village to admit his mistake and help this girl become a rich man's wife.
Unexpectedly, Niu Zhen was so unmotivated. She just stayed at home and watched TV.
With her appearance, let alone Zhang Dagang, he is just a progressive boy from an ordinary family, and he is probably not willing to marry such a lazy woman.
Niu Zhen's mother sighed, and could only accept her fate with a broom to clean up the melon seed shells that Niu Zhen spit out on the floor.
A dreamless night.
Early the next morning, Zhang Dagang went into the back mountain with a hemp rope and a small shovel.
He has already trodden a path on the back mountain, making it much easier to walk than the previous times.
Not long after he entered the back mountain, a small tail followed behind him of his own accord.
When Zhang Dagang stopped, Xue Lang stretched out his tongue and licked his hand affectionately.
"Xue Lang, are there any medicinal materials like ginseng around here?" Zhang Dagang slowed down his voice and communicated with Xue Lang while gesturing with his hands.
"Aww!"
Snow Wolf let out a low cry, turned around two or three times, and then led Zhang Dagang toward a dense thorn.
After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Dagang saw a century-old Ganoderma growing there quietly.
Next to the century-old Ganoderma lucidum, a huge gibbon is crawling.
The gibbon was sleeping soundly next to Ganoderma lucidum. Hearing the noise, the gibbon opened its eyes and saw Zhang Dagang and Snow Wolf, with human threats in their eyes.
Seeing only a thin human being and an adult snow wolf, the gibbon closed its eyes again without caring.
