Jingle Bell ..... In the pounding sound of the alarm clock, Li Xuanning had to open his hazy eyes and get up to knock out the alarm clock. Oops, I'll go, where is this, yellow painted wooden hanging bed, earthy yellow old-fashioned desk full of junior high school textbooks, tutorial books, materials, pick up the black plastic electronic watch on the desk, Saturday, March 15. The old-fashioned bed, the old-fashioned desk, the old-fashioned bookcase, and a young and immature face in the mirror, labor and management are crossed by blood. Looking at the wall calendar on the wall, March 15, 1998, dreaming back to 20 years!

Sitting at the desk, flipping through the math books of junior high school, distant and familiar, the mood of surprise gradually calmed down. After sorting out the clues, well, the various major events that will take place in the next twenty-one years are vividly in my mind. Now that it's back in 1998, you have to seize the opportunity to be prescient, there will be tickets, and there will be sister papers.

Out of the room to the living room, my parents went to work, after washing, I ate breakfast of white porridge and steamed buns, habitually touched my pockets, and a cigarette after the meal, and was happy to beat the gods! Oh, the pockets were empty, no smoke. Patted his head, isn't this just the third year of junior high school, he hasn't started smoking, sitting on the rattan sofa, and when he began to figure out what he should do, as an old smoking gun that has plagued tobacco for more than ten years, he lit a piece of his father's red tower mountain, and after swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog. There are some feelings, this year's Hongta Mountain, the taste is still positive enough.

It's not far from the high school entrance examination, according to the past development trajectory, the results of the high school entrance examination, the difference between the key high school is 30 points, mainly because of the delay of the English subject, if the English test can get 80 points, then there is no problem at all in the key high school. I remember that in my previous life, I was a key high school for my family to study at a high price, and then during high school, I became even more depraved, played crazy, and finally went to a pheasant university impatiently, which is the pain in my parents' hearts. As the pride of Comrade Hu Qiuyue, the top student in the heart of the former teacher, when he held the parent-teacher conference, for Li Xuanning after being reborn, this high school entrance examination cannot fail again. Chinese and mathematics are strong points. The two subjects totaled 240 points, and 230 points were scored in the exam. 100 points in each subject of Physical Chemistry, and about 90 points in Physical Chemistry. Politics, because it's lazy, has always been around 80 points. Although the English grades are poor now, but because of the fourth level after going to university, and after coming out to work, I have not given up learning, but it has been greatly strengthened, just on the level of junior high school English, review it well, and score about 90 points, it should not be a big problem. Then in the remaining three months, I have to review and familiarize myself with Chinese and mathematics, and strengthen physics and chemistry. You have to memorize politics well, and familiarize yourself with English words and grammar. Do more exercises to solve it, open the first year of math book, read it faster and faster, it's very simple, there is no problem, or that familiar feeling, bury yourself in the ocean of learning.

Near noon, I heard the sound of the door opening, it should be that my parents came back from work.Put down the books in my hand and walked out of the room, and sure enough, I saw Hu Qiuyue coming in with meat, vegetables and fruits and other ingredients, looking at her mother's young and beautiful face at this time, Li Xuanning was full of excitement, and she couldn't resist the urge to rush forward and hug her mother and kiss her.

"Mom, you're back, I'll get it. Li Xuanning walked forward quickly, took the vegetables and fruits from Hu Qiuyue's hands, and walked to the kitchen. Hu Qiuyue closed the door and sat down on the sofa.

"Why are you so well-behaved today, you didn't go out to play. ”

I poured a glass of cold boiled water and handed it to my mother. Li Xuanning smiled and said, "It's time to study hard, it's not about to take the entrance examination!"

After Hu Qiuyue took a sip of water, she stared at Li Xuanning and quipped: "My son also knows that he has to study hard, it's not easy." Study hard, it's time to work hard. I'll cook for you. After saying that, Hu Qiuyue went into the kitchen to get busy, and when Li Xuanning was thinking about following up the kitchen to help, he heard the sound of the door opening again, no, Comrade Li also came back from work. Li Xuanning quickly got up from the sofa and looked at his father who had just entered the door. At this time, Li Zhenguo's mature and majestic face had some silver strands in the hair behind his ears. Li Xuanning smiled at his father: "Dad is back from work, let's sit down and drink saliva first." My mom is cooking, so I'll have to wait a bit. As he spoke, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Li Zhenguo, who was sitting on the sofa.

Li Zhenguo frowned and looked at Li Xuanning: "What's wrong with you kid today, you're in trouble again." Li Xuanning looked at his father and said with a smile: "No, I haven't done anything recently." By the way, Dad, how is your mountain farm doing? ”

Li Zhenguo took a sip of cold white water, and when he heard his son ask about the mountain farm, he said with a tangled face: "The area of the mountain farm is too large, it is still an old problem, the development is fast, the investment in labor and raw materials is large, and the financial pressure is huge, and now there is a shortage of money." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Li Xuanning again, and felt a little strange, this kid usually likes to play football, read comic books, play video games, and all kinds of nonsense masters, how can he care about his Lao Tzu's affairs today.

Li Xuanning looked at his father with a surprised face, knowing what Li Zhenguo was thinking, so he said: "Dad, your mountain farm is more than 1,000 acres large, and you should have also budgeted for the overall development, right?"

Li Zhenguo had a sad face, lit a cigarette, and spit out a puff of mist: "Of course I made a budget, but I did it when I first entered the market a few years ago." At that time, I thought about developing 200 acres first, and then developing dozens of acres every year, and after 2000, the first phase of development would be profitable, and then invested in subsequent land development. But what I didn't expect was that from 95 years onwards, labor began to rise, but the purchase price of planted varieties did not increase, but some of them even lowered. ”

Li Xuanning pretended to think about it and said: "Then about 400 acres have been developed now, and there are still 800 acres left." If you don't think about it, stop the development first, and keep 800 acres to continue to grow fir and pine wood. ”

This time period is the trough period of timber prices, and the price of Chinese medicinal materials planted by Li Zhenguo has been cut in half since 2000. However, Li Zhenguo's paranoid personality still believes that Chinese medicinal materials should be planted. From 1998 to 2001, a total of more than 1.2 million yuan was invested to replant 1,200 acres of mountainous land with Chinese medicinal materials. However, in the next ten years, the output of the mountain farm and the annual maintenance are basically the same, but the price of fir and pine and other timber is increasing year by year. In those years, he smashed all the family's savings of more than 300,000 yuan, and put all Li Zhenguo's energy into it, but in the end, he could only transfer the contracting rights of the mountain farm in 2014, and he got back only 500,000 yuan, but the more than 500,000 yuan at this time and the more than 300,000 yuan more than ten years ago are not the same, and the gap can be measured in kilometers.

Li Xuanning chatted with Li Zhenguo for a while, and after lunch, Li Xuanning returned to the room and thought about the mountain field. Obviously, I had to stop my father from continuing the old path and investing all the family's money in the mountain farm to fully develop the mountain farm and grow Chinese medicinal materials. At this moment, the financial power of the family is in the hands of Comrade Hu Qiuyue, and he first has to persuade his mother to invest the money in other businesses, so that Comrade Li has no financial support, and then leave 800 acres of timber, and then sit back and wait for the timber to appreciate.
