When they went to school, the three of them went to the same school in the town, and they went back and forth together after school, and they had a good relationship. Changfa is one year older and has an old personality, he is the more creative of the three, Chu Lei likes to discuss everything with him, as for Maotou, he is the thinnest one, the little brother who follows the two.

Changfa found the two of them to discuss, there are so many singles in the village, relying on the crops to eat, don't expect to be able to marry a daughter-in-law, that home theater is nothing I have ever seen, and it is even more fantastic to build three big tile houses, if you want to find money to marry a daughter-in-law, you must go outside.

After Chu Lei heard this, he also thought that staying at home was not a solution, Mao Tou didn't even think about it, the two brothers said where to go, then go.

The three of them took a change of clothes, carried dozens of yuan, and went directly to Shanhe County.

On the bridge, Changfa complained to Zhong Guotao: "Originally, I wanted to go to the town to find a job in the place where I did timber, Chu Lei said that the county can make a lot of money, and if you want to go, you can go to a big place, there are many opportunities, I thought about it, we went directly to the county, and at the beginning we swept the garbage, sent bottled water, Distribute leaflets and do it again, save flowers, remove food and housing and have no money left, and finally luck is good, find several construction sites, and finally settle down at a construction site, do small work, long law Chu Lei eight yuan a day, Mao Tou is small, people don't have the strength to work, give six yuan, manage a meal at noon, work for more than two years now, a settlement, the rest of the people together are less than 3,000, my father said that now to build three large tile houses with more than 10,000 materials, we have to work for another fifteen years, each person can build three tile houses, this is only one of the three major pieces, Chu Lei calculated, and when all the money is done, even if the girl is willing, we are almost sixty years old, the 60th birthday was held with the wedding. ”

"Haha!" Zhong Guotao laughed, thinking about Changfa's words carefully, and the next moment there was a little bitterness in his smile, "Then you mean to quit your job and come back?"

Chu Lei said: "It's boring, when is it a head, it's not good to treat in the county, there is no relationship without acquaintances, it's not good to mix, by the way, Guotao, I heard from my family, you did a whole job of knitting sweaters, and you made money at home." ”

Zhong Guotao thought for a while and said, "Yes, it's knitting sweaters, it's all manual work done by girls, and you three old men can't do it." ”

"I'm also a big man, Brother Guotao. Maotou smiled, with Brother Fa Chu here, he didn't have to think about anything.

"Don't make a fuss. Changfa scolded with a straight face and said, "Come, put the luggage on and sit down." ”

Zhong Guotao saw that Changfa's expression was serious and said something, so he sat down with him.

Changfa said solemnly: "Guotao, I have something to tell you. I heard that you are tossing well at home, and even Jiang Zhishu helped Zhang Luo, which can be regarded as an 'official' appearance. In the past two years in the county, I found a strange phenomenon, the wild vegetables, wild fruits, wild mushrooms on our Daqing Mountain are not rare in our village at all, some vegetables are encountered everywhere and are too lazy to pick, but in the city, these things are sold at the price of meat! Especially wild mushrooms, what is the name of the city, yes, it is called wild mushrooms, the people in the city say that this thing is nutritious, contains trace elements and what, I forgot, anyway, they said that this thing is similar to Tang monk meat. ”

Zhong Guotao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he stood up and asked, "People in the city love to eat these things?!"

"Isn't that right? There are pheasants, hares, and silly roe deer, all of which are very expensive and very sought-after! Our site boss uses this when he entertains guests, saying that it is game meat, and it has medicinal value. Chu Lei said on the side.

"These things...... There are fewer and fewer mountains on the mountain, and the only way to catch it is to try your luck in the deep mountains, which is not very interesting, what I am interested in is the wild vegetables and wild mushrooms that Changfa said, and we have a lot of things on the mountain. Zhong Guotao sat down slowly, "In this way, Changfa, Chu Lei, oh, and Maotou, you all go home to see your parents first, and go to the county tomorrow when you are done, just inquire about the price of these things, ask a few more to ask clearly, ask in the wholesale farmer's market, and ask in the vegetable market, I will discuss it with Uncle Jiang first, and when you come back, we will sit together and talk about it." ”

"What's going on with this?" Changfa asked.

Zhong Guotao analyzed: "There must be! Now that the bridge is open, it is not difficult to get it to the town to sell for money, but if you think about it later, there will be a problem, I speculate that if this thing can be sold for money, it won't take long for the men, women and children in our village to dig it up, maybe not even the seeds will be left, hollowed out, what do you rely on to sell for money?"

Chu Lei and Mao Tou both asked, "What should I do?"

Zhong Guotao said: "What I think is, can this thing be cultivated, you see, as long as it rains on the mountain, there are mushrooms everywhere, which means that as long as there is a certain growth environment, this thing grows swishing, as for how to raise, I won't, so I have to discuss it with Uncle Jiang and find someone who knows how to ask." These are all later words, you still do what I said, and ask the price first. ”

Changfa smiled and said, "Okay, let's ask tomorrow, I'll keep an eye on it, I didn't expect there to be a head." ”

"When the bridge is opened, there will be more roads. It's good to come back, what I'm missing now is like-minded company. Zhong Guotao said.

Chu Lei asked: "You don't do a good job in the company in the town, and you still have time to get these things?"

Zhong Guotao laughed and said: "It's a long story, I want to say that it's a bit of a brag to change the appearance of my hometown, I ...... In fact, it's the same as you said, if you don't want to be a bachelor for a lifetime, you have to earn money to find a daughter-in-law, and if you don't make money to get the new three major pieces, who wants to marry me?"

"You are pure, no one in the village knows, you Guotao has mixed up. Changfa squinted his eyes and said.

"What is going on? I can't afford to build a house or buy a motorcycle, so I toss and toss while we are young, but I can't learn from you and save money until I am 60 years old before getting married. Zhong Guotao said half-truthfully.

"Haha. Everyone laughed.

......

Xiahe Village, Liu Xiao's house in the west.

"It's all the sea's help, boy, you know. Mother Liu sighed.

Liu Xiao watched the house clean up, the rice, flour and eggs were all there, there were pills at the head of the bed, and the tank was filled with water, but the flat pole and bucket were gone. sat on the ground and said, "Mother, I'm sorry for the sea." I'll go again tomorrow and smash my head into two holes to vent my anger on the sea. ”

Liu's mother said angrily: "You will use brute force, people will not pay attention to you, is it useful for you to smash eight holes? Look at Guotao, the sea and that girl, which one is not better than you! In the future, if you mix well, don't you talk about the sea? If you break the law again, I will arrest you." ”

The door opened, "Where are you here?" Wang Bing, the village secretary of Xiahe Village, pushed the door into the house.

"Wang ...... Wang Zhishu, sitting. Liu Xiao said.

Wang Bing took a plastic bag and put it on the table and said: "I won't sit down, I heard that the police station said, so I came over to take a look, a few eggs for your mother to make up for it, don't make a mistake again, you know? Forget it, let you tell you clearly, then Hou Laohei from the police station is looking for me, I will stare at you during this time, you pay attention, is your mother sick well?"

"It's okay, it's not a serious illness. Liu Muqiang said with a smile.

"Take good care of your mother, the boss is not small, it is very difficult to see your family, aren't you classmates with Guotao? Your mother is fine at home, find Guotao to get some wool and knit sweaters to make money." Wang Bing said.

"What?" Liu Xiao didn't understand what was going on at all.

"Oh, haven't you heard about the hand-knitted sweater that Guo Tao made, I'll tell you about it......" Wang Bing explained in detail what he had learned.

After listening to this, Liu's mother asked for a long time, and finally figured out the matter, and said: "It's okay, I can weave, child, you go and ask, it's done, you still go to cut down trees, I will do handicrafts at home, and save money for you to marry a daughter-in-law." ”

"I didn't have a face, so I did something wrong. Liu Xiao bowed his head and said.

"Don't you learn from each other? Hou Laohei wants to arrest you, but everyone stops you, which means that no one cares about you. Wang Bing persuaded and said in his heart, as long as you can come to live, it can be regarded as opening an opening for Xiahe Village, and if other people in the village want to live, you Jiang Gui can't say anything.

Liu's mother said: "Child, you have to be embarrassed, I'll ask you when you go back." ”

"Yes, yes, it's better for you to ask. Wang Bing said with a smile.

......

Three days later, under Qin Shanhai's repeated insistence, he was discharged from the hospital.

When he was busy, he wanted to rest, he really rested for a long time, and he wanted to go to work quickly, Qin Shanhai felt that he was a contradiction.

Guan Xiaojuan rented two bungalows in the town, bought a lot of daily necessities, and made two bouquets of plastic flowers on the wooden table, which can be regarded as the wedding room of the two.

The two sat and chatted, and when it was time for dinner, Guan Xiaojuan said that she couldn't cook, so let Qin Shanhai do it and learn it by herself.

According to what was agreed in advance, after eating, the two took a car to the county civil affairs bureau and got the bright red marriage certificate back.

Qin Shanhai said, first grieved, in the future, we must make up a romantic wedding for Xiaojuan, the two of them each hold a certificate, and agree to go home for a showdown the next day!

Qin Shanhai felt that this was the first and most important decision in his life, a decision that was incompatible with secular etiquette, just like Guan Xiaojuan often said that the Condor Heroes, a little tragic, thinking about it carefully, it was more uneasy, what kind of attitude would the parents have when they saw this marriage certificate, it should be very bad, Qin Shanhai thought.

Guan Xiaojuan didn't think about it so much at all, raw rice has become rice, what do you think?

This night, Qin Shanhai held Guan Xiaojuan in his arms, very tight, obviously very happy, I don't know why, my nose was very sore, and I almost cried.

Outside the window, it was raining, singing endlessly, until late at night, Qin Shanhai tossed and turned, unable to sleep.

Guan Xiaojuan was really tired after a busy day, and soon there was a slight snoring sound, and Qin Shanhai didn't fall asleep until dawn.

......

The spring rain kept falling, but there was no coldness in the morning, the sky was just bright, Jiang Gui got up early, came to the entrance of the village with an umbrella, called Guotao to get up, moved a chair and sat under the eaves at the door of Zhong's house and waited.

After a while, Zhong Guotao came out with his head full of chaos and asked, "What's wrong, uncle?"

"You're going to work in town in a minute?"

"yes, something?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you're leaving, I'll come over in advance to tell you something, I asked the accountant about these two sweater jobs, the first five hundred plus this time more than 1,800, there are more than two thousand in the account, yesterday the village branch held a meeting to study it, save enough money to buy a farm three-wheeler, the special car is responsible for transporting goods back and forth to the town, and the logistics money, we can't always use your personal relationship, because this is not a matter of one or two times, you should give money to money, you keep the invoice receipt, and hand it over to the accountant for reimbursement. ”

"Hey, okay. Zhong Guotao thought about it and agreed.
