Chapter 62: Paying the Fourth Uncle (Asking for Votes)
Chen Yang disagrees with this statement.
Since he was a child, he has been cutting wood in the mountains, and he can often see this small shrub with shiny leaves, three-leaf opposites, and pleasant red buds.
This small shrub is verdant all year round, and every leaf, old and new, looks like it has been smeared with lard, refracting light even on cloudy days.
More importantly, the clusters of new and tender red buds are glamorous but not demonic, compared with the splendor of wild rhododendrons, it is more calm and introverted, but with the most restrained attitude in every day of the alternation of the old and the new, showing its own weak and lasting brilliance.
There is a feeling of a long stream.
Because they are not gorgeous, they can greet the morning sun with clusters of fresh red buds every day. Day after day, year after year.
Even when the storm comes, they just bend over and swing their bodies, and after the storm, they can continue to stand up as if nothing had happened.
What should be green is still green, and what should be red is still bright red.
Perhaps it is precisely because they are so low-key and introverted that the mountain people pay little attention to them.
Even if I saw them, I just regarded them as ordinary shrubs, and I would never have thought that this thing would have a serious name, called 'Three-leaf Red Bud Chinan'.
It is estimated that the villagers are even more surprised that this three-leaf red bud red bud red Nan is still a precious and rare variety......
Of course, Baidu Encyclopedia says that it is rare, and that is because they are really rare in the city, but in the mountains, they can really be seen everywhere.
It doesn't matter if it's rare or not, anyway, the system shouts that we will plant it, we just plant it, and what do you do with so much.
Chen Yang happily walked towards the mountain, and after a while, he found clusters of new red buds swaying gently in the afterglow of the setting sun.
However, he was bent on Xiao Qian still waiting for him at home, so he didn't have much to appreciate whether the red buds looked good, or whether the sunset looked good, anyway, waving the hoe was digging.
But he dug and digg, and felt that something was wrong, this guy's root system didn't grow normally.
Normally, the root system of a plant should expand horizontally, but this guy is good, a major rhizome is straight into the ground, as if he wants to insert a hole in the earth.
Although it will be difficult to dig this way, there is no way, you can do the tasks given by the system, but the problems you want to solve will definitely not be solved.
Chen Yang dug very hard, but this small seedling with a trunk only the thickness of his thumb was dug for more than ten minutes.......
A small seedling has to be dug for more than ten minutes, and ten small seedlings take him two hours.
By the time he returned home with a bundle of three-leaf red bud chinan, it was already completely dark.
The fourth uncle was sitting in the corridor with Xiao Qian in his arms, feeding Xiao Qian milk powder, while Dashan buried his whole head in the stainless steel plate and gnawed the bones hard.
The four large iron pots in the yard were all soaked in peanuts.
In the oversized plastic bucket next to the water tank, a large bucket of peanuts was also soaked. There are also large aluminum pots with two ears, which are also soaked with peanuts......
It seems that the fourth uncle has used all the tools that can be used to soak peanuts.
Seeing Chen Yang come back, the fourth uncle stared at Dongdong, who couldn't see anything in his hand for a while, and asked, "Xiaoyang, you went into the mountain to dig this?
Chen Yang lifted the three-leaf red bud red south in his hand and explained: "This is red bud red nan, and a friend of mine asked me to help dig a few." β
Well, that's all it can say.
Although he completely believes in the character of the fourth uncle, Chen Yang is not naΓ―ve enough to tell the fourth uncle about the system.
This kind of thing, even the people closest to him, even Xiao Qian, can't say it.
First, I am afraid that they will inadvertently leak my mouth, and secondly, I don't want to give them any psychological burden. Just let them think that the world is simple.
Chen Yang put down his tools and red bud chinan, took a bath, changed his clothes, and then took Xiao Qian from the fourth uncle's arms.
The fourth uncle stood up and twisted his waist, the bones on his body clicking. Just holding Xiao Qian and sitting motionless on the small bench, the thief was uncomfortable, and now he stretched his waist, and it was much more comfortable.
The fourth uncle wrote down the number of peanuts brought by the three grandmothers and the village chief in a small notebook, and the amount of money paid was also very clear.
He handed the small notebook to Chen Yang, pointed to the total number of catties and said, "The four of them really happened to bring more than 300 catties of peanuts over." In this way, we will sell 1,500 catties of peanuts tomorrow, Xiaoyang, are you sure we can sell them all?"
To be honest, Chen Yang himself is not sure.
But things have come to this point, and no matter what, we can only do it head-on.
He was relieved: "Fourth uncle, you don't have to worry about this problem, you go back to sleep early, it is estimated that we will start boiling peanuts at two o'clock tomorrow morning." β
"Okay. The fourth uncle turned around and walked out.
"Wait a minute. Chen Yang stopped him, "Fourth uncle, I transferred three hundred yuan to your WeChat, you remember to receive it." β
"Huh?" said the fourth uncle in surprise, "Three hundred yuan, why did you transfer it to me?"
Chen Yang smiled: "Of course, it's to pay you a salary." You've been helping me with your work since last night, and your salary of 300 yuan is not too much, and even a little less. β
The fourth uncle lowered his head and said, "What's this, I have a lot of strength, it's okay to help you do some work, you don't have to give money." β
If you go home and let the old man know that he took Xiaoyang's money, you may have to count him down.
Moreover, even if the old man didn't count him, he didn't want Xiaoyang's money. Xiaoyang is his nephew, and it is right to help him do what he can.
Chen Yang knew the character of the fourth uncle, and was afraid that he would not be willing to accept the money, so he said with a stiff face: "Fourth uncle, if you don't accept it, you won't come to help me work tomorrow, let me die of exhaustion alone." β
"Huh?" The fourth uncle's brain couldn't turn around at all, and he raised his head and looked at Chen Yang with a confused expression.
Seeing his honest appearance, Chen Yang couldn't help but laugh and said: "Fourth uncle, don't be tough with me, you just accept the money honestly, otherwise, if you come to work early tomorrow morning, I won't open the door for you, I'll do it myself, and when I'm tired to death, you will be the culprit." β
"Phew, bah, bah. Hearing Xiaoyang say the word 'death' continuously, the fourth uncle felt very uncomfortable, "I'll just accept it, don't keep scaring people with such words." I'll take it now, and at two o'clock tomorrow morning, remember to get up early and open the door. β
After that, after taking out his mobile phone to receive Chen Yang's transfer, he strode away.
He was really in a hurry to go home and take a shower and sleep, because he would have to start boiling peanuts at two o'clock tomorrow morning.
People are iron, feel is steel, sleep less and get tired and panic.
Chen Yang locked the door and returned to the hall, ate the dinner prepared by the fourth uncle, took a bath for Xiao Qian, and put him to sleep before going to the vegetable garden to plant the three-leaf red sprout Chinan.
