Rebirth: I built a poor mountain village into a paradise
Chapter 2 Contracting Barren Mountains
At the entrance of the team, captain Li Youyin, Li Xueyang's uncle, was sitting behind a small square table with peeling paint.
Hearing Li Xueyang say that he wanted to contract the barren hills, he looked surprised.
"You don't study anymore?!"
"Why are you reading this? It's not like you don't know my family's situation, uncle. If you continue reading it, my parents will have to beg for food."
Li Xueyang smiled bitterly.
Li Youyin frowned and sighed. He did not refute, but did not agree to his request. Instead, he frowned and said: "If you don't want to study, then go learn a trade, or go out to do something like your brother, that barren mountain behind your house."
Even the firewood is almost gone, why are you contracting it?"
The eldest brother in the uncle's mouth is his son Li Xuedong. He dropped out of school in the fifth grade and worked part-time. He didn't make much money these years, but he deceived a beautiful sister-in-law and came back. He didn't spend a penny, which is considered a "good story".
It is said that one morning, the eldest brother looked up at the sky and said to his uncle, "The weather is nice today. I will go and pick up Juanzi."
Then he was brought back as expected, and from then on Brother Dong became a legend among all the young bachelors in Shanwan Village.
But as karma repays them, the uncle's two sisters were also "cheated" away without spending a penny.
Among them, the eldest sister, Orange, was not allowed to return to her parents' home by her uncle for several years. It was not until the second sister made the same mistake again that the uncle relaxed.
This is off topic.
Back in front of him, although Li Xueyang knew that his uncle was doing it for his own good, he had no interest in it and said directly: "I have my own ideas about this matter. Anyway, the mountain is desolate, so why not let me take over it? Everyone can do it."
Get some benefit."
"This matter needs to be held in a meeting and then approved by the brigade."
Li Youyin frowned again and did not persuade, but he did not approve. Instead, the decision-making power was passed to the villagers and the brigade. The so-called brigade is the administrative village to which the natural village belongs.
Li Xueyang also understood this, and knew that the uncle was not completely pushing the envelope, so he didn't say anything, and said directly: "Uncle, please call everyone together for a meeting. After the villagers vote, uncle, you can help me talk to the brigade.
Talk about it."
"Let's go tonight. Everyone has to go to the field now. It's not appropriate to call people here. Also, you should tell your parents and they must agree to this matter."
The uncle nodded, although he didn't understand why his nephew wanted to contract the broken mountain.
But Li Xueyang, as the only high school graduate in Quanshanwan Village, is somewhat unpredictable in the eyes of his uncle, who is in the fifth grade of junior high school and has the highest education level in the family.
Furthermore, as Li Xueyang said, the mountain is still barren, and no matter how hard it is, it won't make any difference.
…
After leaving the team headquarters, Li Xueyang was thinking about where to try this spiritual spring bead all the way. Originally, he planned to contract the back mountain and then find a spring and drill a well to put it in. However, I am afraid that the mountain will not be used for a while.
indefinite.
And he couldn't wait to try it.
Where can we find other places to settle them?
For a while, I really couldn't think of a good place. There is a well at home, but it is shared with the family next door.
Is it possible to put it in a water tank? That will definitely not work.
After thinking about it, I still only have the back mountain.
It must be contracted anyway, and the mountain is right behind his house, so it's very close in just a few steps.
The mountain has been cut bare in the past two years. It still looks green from a distance, but when you get closer, it's covered with grass and thorns, and you can't even cut firewood.
Not many people in the village usually go there.
Find a remote place where you won't be discovered for a while.
Moreover, this thing cannot be seen or touched by others, and it will not be moved away until a year at most.
That's it.
Because he didn't bring any tools, he didn't go directly into the mountains. Instead, he returned home first. His mother was not at home, so she might have gone to work in the fields or wash clothes in the river.
When I went to the kitchen and opened the pot, I found that half the pot of cake was still hot, so I took one and put it in my mouth, and took two more and put them in my pocket.
Then he took a shovel and a pickaxe, and stuck a hatchet behind his waist. After thinking about it, he took an old military kettle and filled it with a pot of water.
The cakes are made of cornmeal and roasted in a pot until golden brown. There are also fillings made of beans and minced red peppers. I ate two of them while they were cold. They tasted quite good.
My mother's craftsmanship is really good, and simple ingredients can make delicious food.
To be honest, this thing can definitely be sold for money in the city.
Thinking like this, I couldn't help but laugh. I found that I was obsessed with money and wanted to sell everything for money.
Because all the trees on the mountain were cut down, it gave the overlord grass, which was accustomed to growing wildly, a great opportunity to fill up the entire mountain, and even the thorns with strong vitality had no way to survive.
This thing is so high and dense that when you walk in it is like following the reed marshes in the north. No one can see it. Moreover, the leaves of this thing are all sharply sawed. It is very difficult for Li Xueyang to walk all the way. He can only cut all the way.
.
But there are also surprises.
Li Xueyang actually found a spring orchid on the way.
When he was working on poverty alleviation in his previous life, one of the recipients of his assistance later became rich by making flowers, so he naturally knew that Chunlan was valuable.
However, because the nutrients have been taken away by Bawang grass, this spring orchid is thin and skinny, with incomplete leaves and a very poor appearance. It is really a pity.
In fact, there are a lot of good things in this mountain, but it is a pity that most of the villagers do not understand the value of the treasures in this mountain. They only know that they cut down some trees and sell them, which turns the treasure mountain into a barren mountain.
Then you can only take relief.
Due to his professional habits in his previous life, he was really heartbroken to see this situation.
After spending nearly half a day, Li Xueyang finally found a suitable spring.
At the same time, word spread in the village that Li Youquan's son, the only high school student in the village, wanted to take over the barren hills filled with grass.
It became a joke in the whole village for a while.
"This guy looks pretty smart, why did he do such a stupid thing?"
"It's just for reading. Otherwise, you can't read too much of this book..."
"Hey, I originally said I would introduce my niece to him, but luckily I didn't say that."
"Oh, Auntie, you're right that you didn't say this. Look at how poor his family is, and Li Youquan is still working hard to support his two sons in school.
Forget about the older one, he is a son after all, and the younger Junjun is just a girl, why are you still reading those books?"
"You can say yes. Didn't the girl from the Jiang family who is opposite me go out to work last year? Now she earns hundreds of dollars a month and sends money home every month. Now even the stupid son of the Jiang family is trying to find a wife.
Already..."
"Shh... stop talking."
"What's wrong, I can't say anything anymore... Oops, sister-in-law Guifen is going down to the river to wash clothes..."
The man who was chewing his tongue turned around and saw Guifen carrying a basket of clothes. His face suddenly became a little embarrassed, and he quickly forced out an unnatural smile.
"Well, do the laundry."
Guifen pretended not to hear, responded, and left without saying anything more.
Behind her, those people began to murmur again. Guifen was determined to go back and have a big quarrel with them, but in the end she endured it. Her life was not as good as others, and she would be humiliating herself if she really quarreled.
If you don't quarrel, people will still talk behind your back. If you have a falling out, you should talk to your face.
But when she got home and hung up her clothes, she felt completely uncomfortable.
