"Komaki, are you going to plant the whole mountain with fruit trees? This is incredible, I have to look at this piece alone, there are one or two hundred and two. ”

"It's not much, I'm at a six-by-six spacing, planting more than 20 trees per acre, and the whole mountain can be planted with two or three thousand. However, I also planted fruit trees on these two hills, and I plan to plant some tea trees in the rest of the place, and then open a medicine garden, and when the fruits are picked, I can just breed some chickens, ducks and geese. ”

"Tsk~ A reader is a reader, and he does things one by one, but how much does it cost?"

"It's not much, it's only cost a little more than 50,000 now, and one or two hundred thousand should be enough to get it all."

"That's a lot, one or two hundred thousand can build a two-story building in our village."

In the afternoon, Li Muzheng was wielding a hoe to dig a pit on the mountain and plant trees, and Uncle Li Baotian of the next door passed by the foot of the mountain with a basket, and looked up curiously.

Looking at the young fruit tree seedlings all over the mountains, Li Baotian said with emotion, "You young people still have the courage, I don't dare to make such a big move, but you are also really capable, this Baiyun Mountain is handed over to you, and the people in the village are not worried." ”

Li Mu was a little embarrassed by his praise, so he smiled and handed over a cigarette, "Uncle Baotian, don't praise me, who doesn't know that you were the number one labor force in the village when you were young, and at that time, you still got the most work to repair the war preparation reservoir." ”

"That's not it, at that time, there was a call in the city, and I went with a hoe, and one person was stunned to do the work of two people; But now it's not good, people are old, legs and feet are not convenient, the first two years I was able to work on the construction site as a small worker, but now in the past, even looking at the gate was disliked. ”

Li Baotian looked a little lonely, he was a little old, but in order not to drag down his children, he could only drag his elderly body to barely scrape in the ground.

This is also the situation of the vast majority of people in Baiyun Village, this remote mountain village, there have not been a few talents, most of the young people are junior high school graduates, a little better mixed with a high school diploma, and when they reach the age, they either enter the factory or the construction site.

I earn some hard-earned money every month, which is not enough to gain a foothold in a big city, let alone take the elderly over to support them.

In order not to drag down their children, these elderly uncles can only hunch their old waists and wave hoes to ask the land for food.

Li Mu couldn't answer, so he could only laugh awkwardly for a while, and then chose to divert the topic and said, "Uncle Baotian, how is my Brother Lin Zi lately?" ”

"That's it, the construction site doesn't have work every day, put aside the rent and eat a month, just save one or two thousand yuan."

Li Baotian pursed his lips and looked at Li Mudao enviously, "How comfortable your original job is, sitting in the office, what kind of white-collar worker is it?" I only work 20 days a month, and I have an income of eight or nine thousand, if I were you, I wouldn't come back, how good it would be to stay in the big city. ”

"The big city is good, but it's not my home after all! Don't look at me more than 8,000 a month, but in addition to expenses, there are less than 5,000 left, but what about the house price? In the suburbs, one square meter is more than 40,000 yuan, and my savings in a year are not enough to buy two square meters. Li Mudu was a little afraid to recall the time when he worked in Pengcheng.

It's all tears when I think about it, huddled in a small single room separated by wooden boards, living like a dog, and I still have to pay 800 yuan a month's rent.

The most important thing is the loneliness of being uprooted from home in my heart, and every time in the dead of night, I can't talk about the loneliness and boredom in my heart; No matter what setbacks you encounter or how much pain you have, you can only hide them silently in your heart, and only when no one sees them can you secretly lick your wounds.

"More than 40,000 square meters?"

Uncle Baotian counted his fingers and said secretly, "So many?" I work in the fields all year round, and I don't have enough money to save 3,000 yuan. No wonder you want to come back, but it's okay, going home has the advantage of going home, your father's legs and feet are not convenient, you can take care of it at home, unlike the bastard boy in my forest, I haven't seen him for two years, and I don't know if I'm doing well in the field. ”

Li Mu said, "Don't worry, my Brother Lin Zi is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he will definitely be able to take care of himself, and when he makes a lot of money in the future, he will definitely take you to the city to enjoy happiness." ”

Li Baotian shook his head and said, "I don't have that life, my Lin Zi is not as smart as you, and he has read books and is educated!" He~ is only worthy of selling his strength on the construction site, earning some hard-earned money, and being able to support his own family is good. ”

Standing and chatting for a while, after smoking, Li Mu handed over another one, Li Baotian raised his hand and refused, "Okay, you have fifty or sixty-one packs of such good cigarettes, it's a waste to smoke for me, don't talk about it, I still have some work to do in the field, so I'll leave first." ”

Li Mu looked at his stiff back when he turned around, a little helpless, and chased after him and stuffed most of the remaining half of the box of cigarettes in his pocket into his pocket, "Uncle Baotian, I'm just playing with this cigarette, you take this cigarette and smoke it." ”

"I can't help it, this cigarette is so expensive, it's not suitable for me."

This made Li Baotian blush, and insisted on refusing to accept it, seeing Li Mu struggling, he hurriedly said, "Then I'll take another one, such a good cigarette, I haven't smoked a few in my life, just taste it." ”

As he spoke, he carefully took out the root from the box, and refused to take any more of the rest.

Li Mu had no choice but to stand in place and watch him leave.

"Hey~ People in their sixties still have to get up early and work in the fields at night, they are all poor people."

There is some helplessness, but this is the reality of Baiyun Village, a remote village rooted in the mountains and forgotten.

I couldn't figure it out, so I just didn't want to, put all distractions behind, waved the hoe and continued to work, until the sun set and approached the evening, and then I collected the hoe and went down the mountain.

"Come back, hurry up and wipe your face and wash your hands, I'm cooking."

My mother finished work early, and she was busy with dinner in the kitchen.

This is also Li Mu coming back, otherwise the old couple used to be busy working until dark before going home, and dinner was not eaten until eight or nine o'clock.

"Where's Dad?"

Li Mu answered, put down the hoe, and went into the house to look around, but he didn't see his father.

The mother was raising the fire, and she didn't raise her head, "He's still fertilizing the field, I'll call him when I'm ready." ”

"Then I'll call him, it's getting dark, I'll help him."

After Li Mu finished speaking, he walked out of the house directly, and when he walked a mountain road, he saw his father working in the field from a distance.

"Eaten? Wait a minute, I still have a vegetable patch that has not been fertilized. ”

When he got closer, his father glanced up at him and went back to work.

Li Mu came up and took the long scoop in his hand, took a scoop of fertilizer from the bucket to water the vegetable field, and said, "Dad, I plan to pay for the construction of this section of the road in our village." ”

"What?"

My father couldn't be idle, so he bent down in the field to pull weeds when he didn't have a scoop, and some of them didn't hear clearly, "What did you just say, build roads?" ”

Li Mu said loudly, "I want to pay for the repair of the road leading to the city in our village, the reason why our village is poor is that most of it is caused by this broken road, as long as the road can be repaired, sooner or later it will become rich." ”

"You're going to build roads?"

The father looked a little weird, "Pay you back, do you know how much it costs to build this road?" ”

Li Mu said, "No matter how much money you have, you have to repair it, our village can't go out of the village for the rest of your life, right?" It was so potholed that it was not even easy for the car to walk. ”

The father looked incredulous, "Can you bear it, and you can solve the problems that are even difficult in the town?" If our village wants to open the road, we first have to dig a mountain and build a bridge, and this bridge will cost more than one million, can you afford this money? ”

This is not that his father deliberately belittled him, but that the road from Baiyun Village to the city faces two big problems.

One is that there are many mountain roads, now this artificially dug dirt road, or in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was dug out by hand little by little, due to disrepair, now there are potholes everywhere, and the car with a low chassis or the driver's driving skills are not up to par, and they can't get in.

The second is to build a bridge, Baiyun Village is located on the south bank of Zishui, and the urban area across the river, in the past, to go to the urban area have to detour to the west of the city to enter the city.

Now the only stone pier bridge, simply can not pass the load of large trucks, on Li Mu bought these saplings sent in, when crossing the bridge have to be careful, the driver is afraid that one accidentally collapses the bridge.

If it weren't for the large number of saplings ordered by Li Mu, he was afraid of running away from big customers, otherwise the seedling merchants would not accept this order.

"More than a million?"

Li Mu suddenly remembered what Lu Guangde said in the morning, this would quietly pinch his fingers and calculate, and if he had a secret way, he patted his chest and said, "I have a million." ”

"You have a million?"

The father threw away the weeds in his hand, came up and reached out to cover his forehead, "What about talking in your dreams?" Where did you get a million? ”

He smiled again, "Even if you have a million, I can't let you take out this money to repair the bridge, anyway, it doesn't matter if you go up, why should we come out." If you really have this money, you can quickly buy a house in the market, marry that kindergarten teacher home, give birth to a fat boy, and come back to see my old couple when you have nothing to do. ”

Li Mu opened his mouth and didn't speak, and he couldn't say that his father was wrong, after all, in this society, it is difficult for ordinary people to support themselves, where is the spare energy to take care of others?

But he refused to give up, and after thinking about it, he said, "Dad, don't you always teach me that you can't only take care of yourself as a man?" I have the ability now, I can help the people in the village get rid of poverty and become rich, you look at Uncle Baotian, Uncle Fugui and them, which one is not old and weak, but now I have to drag the old body to work in the field, if I can really build the road, and then make a name for myself on the mountain, I can call Brother Lin Zi and them all back to help. ”

The father pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "You have the ability?" What kind of ability do you have, I saw that you bastard boy invested forty or fifty thousand yuan in the mountains before and after, and also built a bullshit Taoist temple, and nothing else made any noise. ”

Li Mu said unwillingly, "Didn't you already give my mother 50,000 yuan?" ”

It's okay not to mention this stubble, but as soon as I mentioned my father, I asked, "Hey~ You kid is still talking back, I want to ask you, how did you get this 50,000 yuan?" ”

"Earned~"

Li Mu mentioned the excuse of using spiritual fluid to save people with dilute water, and his father complained, "You kid, just such a little water, how can you charge people 50,000 yuan so much?" ”

It's not to blame my father for thinking that Li Mu is black-hearted, but this thing, their whole family has drunk it, although it feels a little incredible, but they really don't think about it in the direction of value.

Li Mu explained with a wry smile, "More than 50,000 yuan? Dad, you don't know what people outside think, they buy a health care product for their own body, it's tens of thousands a year, and it has no effect at all, my magic water is a medicine to get rid of the disease, and after drinking it, there is no problem with it, and I still think it's low for 50,000 yuan. ”

My father didn't believe it, "It's really fake, how can there be so many fools who eat tens of thousands of health products a year?" That's purely money burning, right? ”

The father, who can't earn 20,000 yuan a year as a farmer, really doesn't believe it, which simply refreshes his cognition.

Li Mu laughed and said, "What is tens of thousands? In the eyes of the real rich, there is only one life, and money is just a number! Don't believe it, if they know the function of this divine water, this Baiyun Mountain will have to be broken by them. ”

"Okay, okay~ Listen to why it's so unreliable, anyway, how much ability to do a lot of things, you better take care of your broken mountain first, don't look back, those fruit trees are all planted to death, and you can't cry."

As he spoke, the farm work was almost done, and his father collected the bucket and scoop and put it on his shoulder, "Let's go, go back, you~ Mom may be doing something delicious at home again, since you came back, the family has spent hundreds more money on meat every month, if you don't do well in this broken mountain, get me back to work as soon as possible." ”

Li Mu followed behind and smiled, "Come on~ What are you talking about." ”

He leisurely called it a day and went home for dinner, but Lu Guangde's family was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Doctor, what is the disease of our family in Xinping? Can it be cured? ”

The family would huddle in the hospital, pestering the doctor anxiously to ask questions.

Looking at Lu Xinping, who was lying unconscious on the hospital bed, the doctor was also desperate!

Stunned by an animal farting? Still unconscious, and the function of organs in the whole body is obviously failing?

What is this called? He has been practicing medicine for so many years, not to mention that he has seen it, and he has not even heard of it, anyway, it looks like any disease, but once verified, there is no disease, but the person is dying.

The doctor who was entangled to the point could only barely cope, "Ahem~ Don't worry, you have to believe in the hospital, we are organizing expert consultations, and we will come up with a proper solution soon." ”

Lu Guangde nodded, "That's good, you must save him, go to the best doctor, use the best medicine, no matter how much it costs, I don't care." ”

When the doctor left, the family was silent, and what had happened in the day had made each of them feel deeply frightened and exhausted.

"Dad, why don't we go home first?"

Lu Hongyang is not ruthless, but he is worried that the weasel will come back to them to take revenge, and he is not at ease anywhere without the protection of the town talisman.

"Go back? Then leave your brother here alone, can you bear it? ”

Lu Guangde didn't think about it, he shook his head directly and said, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just guarding here, if that weasel wants to come to take revenge, let it come, anyway, I'm already a person who has died once, you can leave if you want to." ”

The others were helpless, so they could only look at Lu Xinping lying on the hospital bed in a daze......
