"After all, although it is not the busy season for farming, the work in the fields is also very busy. ”

After listening to what Chen Guoliang said, Song Xiaoling said: "Will that delay Uncle Changshan's meeting? After all, it is still important to get down to business! It doesn't matter if the herbs are sold one day earlier or one day later." ”

Chen Guoliang replied: "No, after my father helps us deliver the herbs to the purchasing station, he will go directly to the commune for a meeting, so that there will be no delay." ”

Song Xiaoling said: "Okay, then it's troublesome Uncle Changshan." ”

Chen Guoliang said: "It's not troublesome, my father is also on the way." Reiko, I'll go first, I'll come back to turn the herbs with you in the afternoon, so it will dry faster. ”

Song Xiaoling nodded and said, "Okay." ”

For the next three days, it was a sunny day, and all the herbs were dried. After Chen Guoliang put all the herbs into the warehouse, he said to Song Xiaoling: "Lingzi, my father is going to the commune for a meeting tomorrow morning, and he asked me to tell you that we have to leave early tomorrow, because he has to rush to the commune for a meeting before eight o'clock." ”

Song Xiaoling said: "Okay, then let's set off at half past six!"

Chen Guoliang said: "Okay, then I'll go back first, and I'll see you tomorrow." ”

At about six o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Guoliang and his son came to Song's house, and Song Xiaoling had already finished breakfast and was waiting for them at home.

Chen Changshan (later called Chen Changshan) said, "Lingzi finished eating?"

Song Xiaoling returned: "After eating, Uncle Changshan, let's go now!"

Chen Changshan replied: "Okay, what about the herbs, pick it up and let's go!"

So the three of them went to the warehouse to pick up the herbs and got on the ox cart and set off. Riding on an ox cart is faster than walking, and after more than an hour, the ox cart arrives at Hongqi Commune. Chen Changshan parked the ox cart at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative, and asked Grandpa Chen, who was driving the car, to wait for him here.

Chen Changshan said to Chen Guoliang: "Guoliang, you and Xiaoling will wait here for a while, and the supply and marketing cooperatives will open." I'll go to the commune for a meeting first, and you two must be safe. ”

Chen Guoliang replied: "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely protect Lingzi well, we will wait for you in the ox cart if we don't leave after selling the herbs at the purchasing station." ”

Chen Changshan said: "Okay, then I'll go first, and I must pay attention to safety." With that, he walked towards the courtyard where the commune was located.

Song Xiaoling and the others arrived at the Hongqi Commune at half past seven, and the two waited for a while, until half past eight when the gate of the acquisition station opened.

The two of them did not go in when the acquisition station first opened, but waited a while before entering. After entering, the two came to the Chinese herbal medicine counter, and there was an old man in his 60s sitting at the counter, who felt very kind when he looked at his face.

Song Xiaoling glanced at Chen Guoliang, thought about it, and decided to go up and set up a relationship by herself! Before she could move, she saw that Chen Guoliang had already walked to the counter and said to the old man: "Hello uncle, we are from Guangming Village, I led my younger brothers and sisters up the mountain to dig up some herbs, and I thought of this to see if you can accept it?"

The old man looked up, and Chen Guoliang thought to himself: This guy is not bad, but he is not very old.

Chen Guoliang looked at the old man and asked again without speaking, "Uncle, take a look." Our herbs are good, they have been washed at home, and they are dried to ensure that there is no sand at all. And we also picked Schisandra chinensis. ”
