In addition to picking oranges, this is the first time that the father and son have entered the mountains together this year.

The mountains are still those rolling mountains back then, and the father and son are still the father and son back then.

It's just that the little ones have grown up, and the big ones have become elders.

Just like some plants in the mountains, the small ones grow taller, but the tall ones have either stripped off their leaves and left bare branches in the long flow of time, or they have fallen directly under the knives and only the rotting roots remain.

Time never favors anyone.

Even these rolling mountains, even the endless streams, have changed their appearance in the change of time.

The green of the mountains has become thin, the water has become shallow, and even the stones that were originally buried under the ground have been exposed in the wind and rain, and most of their bodies have been oxidized and corroded.

Liu Qingshan looked back at his gray-haired father who was a little out of breath because he couldn't keep up with his pace, and said a little unbearably: "Look, I said it, I won't let you come with me, you have to come to walk such a little way, you will be panting like this, then how will you dig yams later." ”

Liu Yuanhe took a deep breath, crossed his waist and said, "A little road, we have walked the mountain road for almost an hour, and we have never rested." I'm surprised, did you take some kind of medicine, why don't you seem to have anything wrong?"

"Hehe, it's not that I took any medicine, it's that you're old. Liu Qingshan smiled, looked at the surrounding dense forest, and said, "Otherwise, you dig in this area, I'll dig in front, if there is anything, you call me, if I don't respond a few times, you can call me." ”

"That's fine. "Liu Yuanhe really can't walk.

Although he only walked for more than an hour on the mountain road, in this more than an hour, he almost had to trot for a few minutes to catch up with this stinky boy.

I really don't know if this stinky boy has hit an evil or something, he walks fast and steadily, and he doesn't even have a breath.

What the hell.

After leaving his father in this area where the terrain was relatively gentle and there were a lot of yams, Liu Qingshan walked forward.

In fact, if it was according to his previous temperament, he might not agree to let his father go into the mountain to dig yams, let alone take his father into the mountain together.

However, after experiencing the orange incident, and seeing the village chief still unwavering in his determination to pull wood after being pressed by the wood, and the uncle who has a son who is an official but has to get up early every day to sell some side dishes, Liu Qingshan knows very well in his heart that these fathers always refuse to accept old age.

This is true of the village chief, the uncle, and even more so the father of the family.

So he wanted to try to cater to his father's stubbornness, and take care of his father's stubbornness as much as he could.

Just like his father had taken care of him.

He looked back at his father, who was sitting on the side of the road resting, and couldn't help but smile.

I thought that one day, I am afraid that I will become what my father is now. It is said that the best education for children is to teach by word and deed. He hopes that when he has children in the future, when he is old, his children will be like him now, silently guarding the 'stubbornness' that belongs to every father.

The stubborn father dug yams for a day, and although he only dug twenty or thirty catties, he was also very happy.

When I got home, I showed off to my wife: "Haha, look, the yam I dug today is at least 20 catties, and if I sell it, it will be 400 yuan." ”

Wu Cuimei glanced at her husband's bag of yams, and then looked at the two sacks of yams that her son had just put on the ground, and inevitably poured cold water on her husband: "What's so proud of digging such a little, look at my son, he dug up two whole sacks." ”

Liu Yuanhe was shocked: "What is this, if I am as young as him and have his strength, then I can dig so much." ”

"Come on, stop bragging. Haven't you ever been young? I've never seen you dig so many yams before. ”

Liu Yuanhe is aggrieved. Hell, I don't know what this stinky boy ate, and he has too much strength to speak.

Today in the mountains, he saw his son digging yams. That scene can really only be described as earth-shattering ghosts and gods.

Someone digging a yam, even if it's a very small yam, has to dig for more than ten minutes. But this stinky boy is completely different, no matter how big or small, it is a big piece of soil with a hoe, and after a while, he dug a big hole in the ground, directly exposing a whole yam.

If it weren't for his own birth, he would have suspected that this stinky boy was a monster in the mountains.

However, when the words came again, what made the family more worried was not whether the son was biological, or whether he was a monster in the mountains.

Rather, there are so many yams, can it be sold out!

When the family watched TV, they were still worried about it.

"Although no one digs up yams to sell now, it seems a bit difficult to sell so many yams in one day. Liu Qingshan sat in the corner, fanning the dried mugwort leaves that had just been lit in an aluminum basin with a small fan.

These mugwort leaves are harvested in the summer. After harvesting, it is dried and stored on the kitchen floor, where it is smoked and smoked all year round.

However, it is too dry and easy to catch fire, so every few days you have to take a handful down and put it under a dark bed to rehydrate, and then use it to smoke mosquitoes.

Don't look at it now that it's autumn, the weather is a little cooler, but in this kind of place where the winter is short, there should still be pests such as mosquitoes and flies.

So as soon as he had a full meal, Liu Qingshan ordered a handful of resurgent mugwort leaves, and slowly fanned the smoke in the corner of the living room.

"What's so hard about that? The mother stared intently at the handsome man on the big-ass TV and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you sold all the yams you brought yesterday in a few hours?" Tomorrow will definitely do. ”

"The problem is, I didn't bring many yams yesterday, only a few dozen catties. But the yam I will bring tomorrow, plus the dozens of catties that my dad dug up, is almost 300 catties. When others see such a huge amount, they must wonder if these yams are wild after all. You don't know that yesterday there was a man at the gate of the county vegetable market who sold artificially planted yam as wild yam, and was finally taken away by people from the industrial and commercial department. After yesterday's incident, I estimate that when others see a huge amount of yam, they will not dare to buy it. ”

"Oh, there's such a thing. Hearing that someone had been arrested for cheating, Wu Cuimei withdrew her eyes from the TV and looked at her son very worriedly, "What should I do? If others see you selling hundreds of catties of yam at once, they will definitely think that your yam is planted." It doesn't matter if the yam can't be sold at that time, if it is also caught, it will be troublesome. ”

"yes, but I'm not worried about being caught, I'm worried about not being able to sell yams. Liu Qingshan thought for a while and looked at his father, who was staring at his mobile phone, "Why don't you go to the county seat with me tomorrow." ”

Liu Yuanhe didn't watch TV, nor did he watch his son, he was staring at his brick mobile phone, and he didn't know what the hell he was watching. The phone can only send text messages in addition to making calls, at most you can set an alarm clock or something, I really don't know what to look at.

Seeing that he didn't react for a long time, Wu Cuimei crackled and slapped Liu Yuanhe's back: "Call you, what do you see? What is so good-looking? Come on, let me see it too." ”

Saying that, Wu Cuimei was about to snatch Liu Yuanhe's mobile phone.
