The early spring in the mountains is very wet and cold, not to mention the drizzle in the sky, Li Jiaming, who is sitting behind the motorcycle, feels cold to the bone, and the cyclist can be imagined.

When the three motorcycles passed by in the middle of the night, Li Jiaming and Mao Yan went to Mr. Liu's house for a turn, and sent two packets of milk powder and a bag of fruit to his mother-in-law and went on the road again. I thought that Mr. Liu's position was not high but his authority was heavy, and at this time he should be giving New Year's greetings to the leader, or sitting at home and waiting for someone to give him New Year's greetings, but he didn't expect that people actually went to Tangwan Teacher Wang to visit friends. It seems that the matter of rectifying forestry fees is very troublesome, and he went to his old classmates to borrow wine to relieve his worries.

came out of Mr. Liu's house, and after about ten minutes, I arrived at Mr. Zhang's house in Luofang. Now is the time for the New Year's dinner, Mr. Zhang's family has just finished the invitation at noon, and some of the newly arrived guests are drinking tea and chatting.

"Teacher Zhang and Mrs. Liu, I wish the two elders a happy, happy and healthy family. ”

In front of seven or eight guests, neighbors and a few little ladies chasing after the house, the brothers respectfully greeted the New Year and presented gifts, which made Mr. Zhang, who had more than half of his hair gray, feel very relieved. Especially when he saw that the Li Jiaren brothers, who were a little mean in the past, became polite, they felt even more relieved and joked: "Yes, yes, Jiaren and Jiayi are also sensible, and they have the style of a gentleman." ”

The two college students with slightly hot faces got up and took the tea from their teachers with both hands, thanked them incessantly, and said with a smile: "Thank you teacher for the award, Jiaren (Jiayi) was stubborn in the past, and he was taught by the teacher."

The relationship between teachers and students is more casual, not to mention that Mr. Zhang is a person who likes to joke, the former little girl is now a college student, and he knows that he will come to see the teacher during the New Year, and he feels that it is worth teaching and educating people for a lifetime.

"Hehe, if you want to teach, you brothers, I really tried my best to teach, that is, Jiaming, Jiahu, and Jialong. You four brothers, I really don't teach very hard, and each one reads more seriously than the other, and I never mischievous. ”

Teacher Zhang tried his best to teach, which meant that he grabbed his ears and scolded bitterly, Li Jiaming, who looked calm, was nothing, and he was familiar with helping his wife and aunt to arrange fruits and wine;

As soon as the teachers and students sat down, Zhang Renquan, who was dressed in civilian clothes, came in with two 'Baisha Wang' cigarettes, two bottles of 'Four Special Five-Year Aged Wine', and a large bag of fruit. I didn't come back from duty for the New Year, Mo Weiren has no conscience and is late, I wish you and your mother-in-law all the best and good health!"

The most promising children in the village and the surname came, and the elders who chatted with the guests in the hall greeted each other with smiles, and Teacher Zhang, who had just invited the students to sit down, also hurriedly beckoned: "Come here, help me accompany the two college students." ”

"Hey", Zhang Renquan, who is also familiar with informality, agreed, handed over the gift to his mother-in-law, and took out the fruit from the plastic bag to entertain the guests. ”

It should be a coincidence, but his expression is different, and Li Jiaming, who is puzzled, hurriedly got up to greet the New Year and introduce his brother.

"Brother Renquan, Happy New Year, I wish you every step of the way! This is my eldest brother Li Jiaren and second brother Li Jiayi,......。 ”

"Happy New Year, I wish you all progress in your studies!"

Everyone said auspicious words for a while, and Li Jiaming, who drank a few sips of hot tea, picked up his denim bag and went to the Zhang Xianggui brothers' house next door, and by the way, he also paid New Year's greetings to the old man and looked at the stubborn brother and sister. Although my father and aunt had come, my relatives said that there was no reason not to go to the next door to pay New Year's greetings, and several other cousins also got up, told the teacher, and went to the next door to pay New Year's greetings.

When they left, Zhang Renquan, who was sitting with him, also got up, went to the side room to ask his mother-in-law for a red note, tied two new tickets of 50 yuan, and whispered: "Mother-in-law, will you take 50 yuan for the New Year?"

The mother-in-law, who watched Zhang Renquan grow up since she was a child, was very happy with his friendship for her distant cousins, and picked out the two bags of milk powder that Li Jiaming had just given from the old cabinet, as well as some biscuits and the like, and whispered: "Mo, you take ten yuan and take some food." Those two brothers and sisters are strong, ten yuan is the New Year's money, and fifty yuan is to help them!"

Zhang Renquan hurriedly asked how much milk powder and biscuits cost, and his mother-in-law lovingly knocked on his skull, and said proudly: "What money do I want from you?" These are all sent by Xiangfeng and Jiaming, and I can't finish eating with the old man, and it's not easy to give them away. ”

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Estimating that Li Jiaming should have finished worshipping the New Year, Zhang Renquan hurriedly carried something to Zhang Renhe's house, Zhang Xianggui's two brothers' house, and his father went to him. is the same surname, and the relationship is also close to each other, not to mention that Zhang Renhe has ambition and backbone, and his aunt is married well.

At this time, Li Jiaming's brothers also finished their New Year's worship at Zhang Xianggui and Zhang Xiangsong's house, politely refused their stay, and followed Zhang Qi, who was standing in the sun-dried valley flat, with their bags on their backs, to Zhang Renhe's house next door.

To say that Zhang Ren and his brothers and sisters are really strong, they don't rely on their uncles for most of the year, they work hard to support the door, and they actually buy fruits, cigarettes, and wine for the New Year.

Cigarettes are not good cigarettes, two yuan a pack of 'moon rabbit', wine is not a good wine, a piece of eight cents of 'Jinjiang', the fruit is just some of the cheapest 'snow pine', self-fried pumpkin seeds, and store-bought peanuts, but Li Jiaming's brothers eat very deliciously.

Although everyone is a relative, even Mao Tong and the thin dog don't know that this guy is instigated by his cousin, and they think that he is a tough person who can hold the door. The requirements for men in the countryside are very simple, even if they can support the top of the household, even if they are poor, they will not be looked down upon, let alone an eleven-year-old man with a younger sister.

"Heyou, are you bitter?"

The new cotton clothes and new jeans were bought by my aunt, but there were a lot of mud stains on the new shoes, it is estimated that this kid has just come back from the vegetable garden, and Zhang Renhe, who is a lot stronger, said restrainedly: "Hehe, it's good to get used to it, it's good to get used to it." ”

There are poems and books in the belly, in fact, people with experience and wisdom in life will be as quiet as a mountain.

Li Jiaming, who was shorter than Mao Tong and Li Jiade's brothers, sat there smiling and asking questions, and unconsciously became the center of several people, and Li Jiaren, who was already in college, felt that they were a head lower than their cousins.

After a while, Zhang Renquan, who came with things, entered the house, and the two brothers and sisters hurriedly greeted the New Year, made tea, tobacco, and poured wine.

"There is land that is not cultivated, and there are books that are not read. The edge of the sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. …… If you don't work hard when you're young, the boss will be sad. If you want to survive and be rich, you must work hard to die. ”

Li Jiaming knew that Zhang Renquan must have something to find him, and nine times out of ten it was related to fame and fortune, and he couldn't give him fame, so there was only Lilu. Last year's winter bamboo shoot purchase, a group of inexperienced people jumped around, even if they asked them to find vegetable vendors and go to the village to collect quietly, but they would definitely fall into the eyes of those who cared, and this one is very likely to be one of them.

The money is inexhaustible, but Li Jiaming can be the master of everyone, share Zhang Renquan's piece of the pie, and monopolize the purchase of winter bamboo shoots in these four towns and one forest farm, but the initiative has to be in his own hands. One is the director of the police station, and the other is a scholar, if he wants others to follow his baton, he has to subdue others in momentum, so that people can realize that he is begging for himself.

Li Jiaming read "Warning Shixianwen" unhurriedly, and the Li Jiaren brothers, who have a certain amount of social experience, were thoughtful, and the Li Jiade brothers were their cousins encouraging these two poor brothers and sisters, but the hairy dogs and thin dogs who usually followed him to study and learn to be a human immediately stood with their hands tied, and Zhang Ren and his brothers and sisters also hurriedly followed suit, so embarrassed that Zhang Ren was not sitting on the whole station.

Li Jiaming didn't guess wrong, the paper can't hold the fire, even the Kong Ming lantern can only cover the top three sides, and the bottom side still can't be closed. Speaking of which, he is also enough to carry it, today he asked people to find Mao Ling, and the eight men he called were Zhang Renquan's little cousins. The kid followed the wool and the dog to harvest winter bamboo shoots, got 500 yuan, and came to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma with adults during the New Year, and also learned from Li Jiaming's example, honoring Grandpa, Grandma's milk powder, and fruits. The nephew and grandson have a conscience, of course the grandfather and grandmother are happy, and they will praise their promising grandson for a few words, and the result makes Zhang Renhe long-hearted.

"Renhe, do you understand?"

Zhang Renhe, who was just a child, bowed down to be taught, and respectfully said in Mandarin with a strong local accent: "I understand, people must be self-reliant and self-reliant, and only when they endure hardships can they become masters." ”

"Jiahu, Jialong, what about you?"

"If you want to live and be rich, you must work hard. ”

"That's right, one person one road, one grass and one drop of dew. ”

Li Jiaming, who has entered the role of his previous life, is more and more admirable, Wen Yan pointed at his brother, reached out and poured a glass of bad wine and handed it to Zhang Renquan, who was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Brother Renquan, thank you for what happened last time, I toast you with a glass of wine." ”

The aura will affect people, and Zhang Renquan, who started with Li Jiaming's money, hurriedly said: "You're polite."

Li Jiaming waved at the two children, Zhang Renhe pulled his sister out again and again, and the Li Jiaren brothers also quickly got up and took everyone out.

When everyone went out and even the door was closed, Li Jiaming smiled and said, "Brother Renquan, tell me, what's the matter with looking for me?" I'm just a scholar, and I even handed over the money to Aunt Zhang, so I can help very little." ”

Obedient to listen to the sound, what is the help that can help? What is the money being taken care of by the aunt?

Zhang Renhe, who has been the director of the department for more than a year, listens to the leaders and tells his subordinates a lot, how can he not understand the meaning? It is nothing more than that he can help, but he must be rewarded, and he doesn't care about money!

Damn, what do you mean by not caring about money? Eight people came to pay New Year's greetings to their parents-in-law, and in addition to the gifts given in the house, they also honored their father-in-law and mother-in-law with milk powder and fruits. Where did a little boy get the money? Didn't he collect winter bamboo shoots with this kid and make money?

For a while, Zhang Renquan, who was full of confidence at the beginning, felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation in his heart. If you want to say that you are in charge of five or six guns, and stomping your feet can make Takahashi tremble on the street, but every time you face this kid, you always feel that you are low, and every time you ask him.

Li Jiaming didn't say anything, just looked at the elder with a smile, waiting for everyone to make a pleasant deal, and then send a ride to the little and old friends.

There are thousands of acres of bamboo forests in Gaoqiao, as long as the farmers are willing to dig, at least 20,000 catties of winter bamboo shoots will be produced next year, and Gaoqiao is the only way to go to the county seat of a forest farm in the nearby three townships. If the people from the police station are willing to help, even if the gangster leaders in the county town Lao Jiu and Mosquito want to compete with themselves and Mao Yan for food, they can find a reason or set up a bureau to throw their men into the detention room!

Of course, if this director can be brought in, under the lure of heavy profits, maybe the winter bamboo shoot purchases in other towns and towns in the county can get a piece of the pie. Vegetable sellers can't do gangsters, and gangsters can't do gangsters in uniform, that's the truth everywhere. Last year, Gao Bin was able to make Duan Ling immortal/death-hungry for a brick house, and when the time came, let Zhang Renquan come forward and throw tens of thousands of dollars out, and the public security didn't have two eyes?

The short-term profiteering business of trafficking in winter bamboo shoots is actually a violent business, and it is a matter of who has power! The last time I ran into a wall, it was a wall of a person who was an official, but it was not the old nine.
