Chapter 121: Killing Two Birds with One Stone (Asking for Subscription)
γToday's Updateγ
He never thought that a person like a rat who lived at the bottom could be better.
He only felt that no matter how hard he tried, he would never be able to change the fate of poverty and lowliness.
"Absolutely. Chen Yang smiled, "If you don't think you can do it, it only means that you haven't worked hard enough." β
"You see that I am now collecting peanuts and selling peanuts, it seems to be very relaxed, but you don't know, when my fourth uncle didn't help before, I had to get up at two or three o'clock in the morning to cook peanuts. Then at 9:10 a.m., I returned home after selling peanuts, and I had to go to the field to pull peanuts. After that, I had to work until eight or nine o'clock in the evening. And during this time, I also had to take care of my son. β
"I'm not telling you this to brag about how capable I am, I'm just telling you that if you have a strong belief, no problem will hold you back. β
Lu Wenen didn't speak, just listened silently.
Chen Yang continued: "If you want a better life, you have to work hard. If you don't work hard, even if you pick up a million, sooner or later you will have to sit and eat nothing. β
"I know everything, but I don't know anything. Lu Wenen said helplessly.
"How can there be nothing? Look at you, now you go into the mountains almost every day to put iron clips and game, are you born to put iron clips? Of course not. Even if you say that you are old now, your brain is dull, and you can't learn new things, then even if you go into the mountains to pick peppers and sell them, you can earn nearly 100 yuan a day. β
Some people may think that when Chen Yang said this, he felt a little bit standing and talking without feeling a backache.
But Lo doesn't think so.
Although he didn't usually have a close relationship with Chen Yang, he could be regarded as growing up watching Chen Yang in the village.
Chen Yang, a kid, followed his parents into the mountains to work since he was a child, and later after his parents left the village, he took on most of the family's rough work. Later, after his grandparents died, he shouldered the burden of supporting his wife and children alone.
Others said that Lu Wenen might not be convinced by the words just now, but when those words came out of Chen Yang's mouth, he had to accept them.
Although the life of Chen Yang's family is average now, it is indeed improving compared to before.
He said: "I understand what you said, but the problem is that I don't want to pick mountain pepper cheaper than people like fat people." β
Lu Wenen said: "You don't know, that bastard of the fat people has manipulated the scales, and he has kept the price very low with the people at other acquisition points, no matter how much pepper we pick and how much effort we put in, it is impossible to make the corresponding money from him." β
Chen Yang naturally knew about this. So he can also understand Lu Wenen's feelings.
He said: "Even if you don't pick pepper and sell it, then you will always have other things to do." β
"Alas, don't mention it. Lu Wenen sighed, "Originally, I put a lot of iron clips in the mountain yesterday, large and small, but I don't know what's going on, I went into the mountain today to see, and all of them are gone." Originally, I planned to take the wild boar to the town and sell it, but who knew that the wild boar was not clipped, and even the iron clamp was gone. β
Chen yang:......
Without hearing Chen Yang speak, Lu Wenen felt that something was wrong, so he stopped, half-turned to look at Chen Yang, and asked, "Chen Yang, you say, who will steal my iron clip?"
Ahem!
Chen Yang said with a smile: "I don't know, but what is certain is that the person who stole the iron clip must have known that you went into the mountain to put the iron clip, and he must also know which mountain you went to and where you put the iron clip, think about it carefully, who did you tell about this?"
Lu Wenen continued to walk forward and muttered, "Impossible, I told Ou Wangba about this matter, could it be that he stole my iron clip?"
Chen Yang pretended not to hear Lu Wenen's muttering, and continued: "If you don't tell anyone, then it's impossible for someone to steal all your iron clips, right? Moreover, the person who stole your iron clip must also like to go into the mountains and put the iron clip, otherwise, what would he do if he stole your iron clip?"
As soon as Chen Yang reminded him, Lu Wenen became more and more puzzled.
Ou Wangba often went into the mountains to put iron clips, and he told Ou Wangba about this. Could it be that this was really done by Owangba? This time, Lu Wenen didn't say anything, just muttered in his heart.
Chen Yang followed behind him, secretly relieved.
Fortunately, he didn't show his flaws, otherwise, if Lu Wenen knew that those iron clips were all thrown into the ravine by himself, something might happen.
Lu Wenen has an easy-going personality, even if he really knows that the iron clip was thrown into the ravine by him, he probably won't care too much about him. After all, Chen Yang's grandfather was indeed caught in the leg by an iron clamp in the mountain, which then caused multiple infections, and finally passed away early.
Although no one has been found to put the iron clip, no matter what, most of the people who go into the mountain to put the iron clip now have a sense of guilt towards Chen Yang.
That's why he dared to assert that even if Lu Wenen knew that Chen Yang picked the iron clip, he might not blame Chen Yang. Because Lu Wenen's personality can be said to be the most easy-going and honest of these people.
Although he was well aware of this, Chen Yang still didn't want to reveal his 'identity' so as not to cause too much unnecessary trouble.
Chen Yang asked, "How many years have you put the iron clip?"
"It's been almost thirty years. "When I was a teenager, I went into the mountains to put iron clips. β
"In that case, you really shouldn't go on. Chen Yang said, "If you can persist in one thing for 30 years, it proves that you are still a person who has perseverance and is willing to work hard, but you are working in the wrong direction." β
"How so?"
"Look at you, you have been putting iron clips in the mountains for nearly 30 years, and the life of the family has not gotten better, which shows that putting iron clips will not help you get rich, since this is the case, you should change things to do. β
"But what can I do?" Lu Wenen sighed, "You said to pick pine resin, but the pine trees I planted are still too young to pick pine resin." You say dig wild goods, either you can't sell them, and those that can be sold will be pushed down by others, and you will be aggrieved to do this. Actually, sometimes it's not that I don't want to work hard, it's that I don't know how to work hard. β
Chen Yang knew this helplessness.
In fact, most people in the mountains are very hard-working, but not all of them can live a good life. The real reason for this is because most people don't know which direction to go in.
Chen Yang used to be like this, although he was busy every day, his life was still barely enough. It wasn't until later, with systematic guidance, that this life got better day by day.
Lu Wenen has no system, so he is naturally confused.
Chen Yang said: "Otherwise, I'll give you a job." β
"Huh?" Lu Wenen thought he had misheard, and after walking down a small slope, he stood in the flat mountain road, slowly turned his body to look at Chen Yang and asked, "Give me a job?"
"Yes, you can help me chop wood, I want to dry firewood, forty-five yuan, what do you think?"
Once equal to one hundred catties.
Lu Wenen hurriedly put the firewood on his shoulder on the ground, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his arm, and asked, "Chen Yang, are you joking, or are you serious?"
"Seriously, of course. Chen Yang also parked the wheelbarrow in the middle of the road, straightened up and said, "I'll give you an idea, don't you have a lot of barren mountains in your house that haven't been cleared yet, you go to your barren mountains to cut firewood and dry firewood, and when the firewood is dry, you can pull it to me, and I will give you forty-five yuan once the price." When the time comes, not only will the firewood be sold, but your family's wasteland will also be opened up and you can plant trees. Isn't that a win-win-win β
Lu Wenen smiled a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I also saw the notice you posted before. I was going to sell you firewood, but Owangba told me that the notice was a lie. Because in the past, when others went into the village to collect firewood, they only had forty yuan, and once you gave forty-five, this was too fake. β
"It's okay, you just know it's true now. Chen Yang said, "Think about it, when the firewood in your wasteland is dried, you can pull it twice a day, and you will come back with 300 catties... Forehead... That's one hundred and thirty-five dollars. How can a wasteland have thousands of catties of firewood, and it will not be a problem for you to sell it for one or two thousand yuan at that time. β
Lu Wenen listened to Chen Yang's words, his heart was slightly excited, and his wrinkled old face was full of smiles: "Okay, since you said so, then from tomorrow morning, I will go into the mountains to open up the wasteland, and I will not pull it to you until the firewood is completely dried." β
"If you have to wait until the firewood is completely dry before pulling it to me, it will be a bit difficult. Otherwise, I'll talk to the village chief when I go back tonight, and ask you to go and find dry firewood in the forest he bought. Every morning you go to the mountains to clear the wilderness, and when you come home, you go to the woods where they pull wood and bring back a cart of dried cedar branches. In this way, you can also earn some money every day. β
Hearing that Chen Yang thought about himself so thoughtfully, Lu Wenen didn't know what to say, just thanked him vigorously.
Chen Yang laughed and said: "Don't thank me, I'm just talking about it, whether you can live a good life in the future depends on yourself." β
Lu Wenen suddenly asked with a solemn expression: "Chen Yang, do you think that people like me can also live a good life?"
In fact, Lu Wenen really has an extremely low self-esteem in his heart. He is full of inferiority complex not only for his family environment, but also for himself.
He had always felt that only people like him were willing to say a few more words to him.
But I didn't want to, I just did Chen Yang a little favor today, Chen Yang actually said so much to him, and gave him such a good idea.
Chen Yang said with a bright smile: "Haha, of course you can, as long as everyone works hard, they will live a good life." It's the same with you, as long as you work hard to do things and work hard to make money, one day, you will have a better life than you have now, and you have more things than you have now. β
Listening to Chen Yang's answer, Lu Wenen's heart became more and more moved.
Because, no one has ever said anything similar to him, and no one has ever thought that he can succeed, and no one has ever encouraged him to work hard and fight.
After returning home, Lu Wenen told his father and mother about this incident, and his parents with gray hair felt that Chen Yang was right, and advised Lu Wenen to have less contact with people like Ou Wangba in the future.
Lu Wenen remembered.
