Chapter 59: Inquiring

Guan Xuelian looked at Luo Han in surprise, and then at Guan Mu, whose face remained unchanged, her eyes turned slightly, probably realizing this, and she didn't squeak again.

Guan Xuefeng was a little embarrassed: "The mountains are not as good as the villages, the road is not easy to walk, your shoes are ......" Luo Han has leather shoes on his feet. Easy to slip.

"Oh, it's okay, I know there are mountains here, I prepared a pair of hiking shoes when I came, just in the car, don't be afraid!" At the moment, Luo Han was very glad that he was prescient.

"That's fine!" Guan Xuefeng was also smart, and immediately agreed: "You go with me, and you will take care of each other on the way!" ”

Yutian Village is backed by mountains, and the wild forests are very dense, so the Guan family has contracted nearly 100 acres of mountain forests to protect the growth environment of wild five-step snakes, and also tried to artificially breed five-step snakes into wild surnames.

Rude passed through the village on the way into the mountain, and Guan Xuefeng met a lot of people along the way, and some familiar villagers said hello, and if they asked about Luo Han, he calmly introduced that it was his sister's boyfriend, which attracted many strong men in the village who knew Guan Xuelian to cast a surprised glance at Luo Han.

As they walked, the two talked about the Guan family's snake catching business.

Guan Xuefeng is not very old, but he knows a lot of things: "In my grandfather's generation, there were many experts in the village who could catch snakes, and they were all sold directly to pharmacies. In my father's generation, many people who were good at studying went to big cities, and after graduation, they were either assigned to public institutions or grassroots institutions, but everyone with a flexible brain left, and no one wanted to learn this snake catching work again.

"The injuries of the older generation, the sickness, the pharmacy can't afford to make a lot of money, and there is a risk to life, so my dad later gave up, and he didn't catch snakes for more than ten years, and then he was afraid that there would be no money for my sister and me to go to college, and the county attracted a big boss of a medicinal material company, saying that he had applied for a patent for a "bone spur sticker", knowing that our environment here is suitable for the growth of wild five-step snakes, and we should hire someone to be responsible for guarding and breeding semi-wild five-step snakes, and the treatment is quite rich, my father gritted his teeth, Decided to revert to the old business. Fortunately, no one has caught it over the years, and the five-step snake in the mountains has a chance to slow down and breed a lot, and my dad earned 20,000 yuan in only three months, which attracted my uncle to join. ”

Luo Han was quite surprised: "Bone spur stickers? Is it the bone spur patch that entered the Chinese Medical Epipoeia and was promoted on CCTV? ”

Guan Xuefeng was very surprised, and at the same time faintly proud: "Brother Luo, have you also heard of the name of the bone spur sticker?" ”

Luo Han nodded: "In my previous company, the aunt who cooked for us, her husband had bone hyperplasia, and he was using bone spur stickers. It is said to work well! ”

Guan Xuefeng smiled, no longer modest, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, my dad has to send a box to the county at the end of every year, and he has also used it for my grandfather, and the effect is good." That's why my dad is willing to pass on this skill. He often told me that as long as the catch is moderate, catch the big and let go of the small, catch the male and release the female, and close the forest and raise seedlings during the breeding period of the five-step snake, this business can be operated for a long time, so that more elderly people can get benefits. ”

"Not only that, but my dad also asked me to study more information on artificial protection of the wild environment and the promotion of wild five-step snakes in college, so as to provide a good environment for the five-step snakes to survive as much as possible, so as not to destroy the ecological balance here. Fortunately, there are also knowledgeable experts on the side of the herb company, and they will stop buying wild five-step snakes from July to September every year to give them a chance to breathe, but will encourage us to go into the mountains to have a look, and give the egg-laying and hatching female snakes a little help when necessary, so that the baby snakes can survive as much as possible. ”

Luo Han suddenly paid tribute to Guan's father - he could not be confused by the momentary interests, this snake catching expert was really very far-sighted.

As for the practice of the medicinal herb company, he thought it was normal. If a large enterprise wants to develop for a long time, it cannot just look at the immediate benefits.

He rolled his eyes slightly: "When your father went out of the mountain, your sister should have been in college at that time, right?" ”

With the cost of today's university, it is obviously very stressful for a rural family to provide for two college students at the same time.

Guan Xuefeng smiled embarrassedly, his eyes were full of admiration for his sister: "Yes, my sister was just a freshman at that time. My sister has shown an amazing talent for languages since she was a child, and with enough money, she kept learning various languages in her freshman and sophomore years, and since her junior year, she has been earning her own tuition and living expenses, and sometimes helping me. So most of the money my dad earned later was spent on me. My sister was very kind to me and never complained, so from that time on, I prayed every day, praying that God could help my sister find a brother-in-law who had some money, a little ability, and could love her. ”

Luo Han smiled: "This is also the hope of parents and brothers all over the world!" ”

Guan Xuefeng stopped and looked at him seriously, his eyes full of gratitude: "Brother Luo, this time, no matter what my dad thinks, I really thank you!" When my dad first rescued him, in order to buy wild ginseng, my mother went to the county to ask for help from the medicinal material company where we bought wild five-step snakes, but in vain because they also had no goods. As a last resort, my mother found my sister, and at that time, she really just wanted my sister to inquire about the market, and she was not ready to let my sister pay. My mother said that my sister works alone outside the home, and there is no one to take care of her, and she has a hard time, so she has to keep her salary as a dowry. At that time, my mother also said that if this would not work, the only way to do this would be to use ordinary round ginseng. Fortunately, God willing, let my sister know you. ”

"The night after my mother made the call, my sister came home with the wild ginseng and said that it was a gift from you. At that moment, I saw that the corners of my mother's eyes were moist, and I was relieved, grateful, and ashamed. So I'm happy too. My sister has worked hard for so many years, and now she finally has a good support. ”

Luo Han was surprised--why what Guan Xuefeng said was different from what Guan Xuelian said before?

He asked tentatively: "Auntie, she doesn't have any opinion on me, right?" ”

Guan Xuefeng nodded at first, but immediately shook his head: "Actually, my mother doesn't have any opinion, saying that since you are an orphan, there must be very few relatives who can move around, and it just so happens that my sister is the kind of surname who is unwilling to interact with people more, so there will not be much conflict in this regard." However, I don't know what my dad told her later, and her attitude was a little wavering. ”

Rohan's heart jumped.

In other words, the root of the problem lies in Guan Father alone!

It's just that Guan's father is still the head of the family, and he can't get around it, so he can only find a way to convince him.

And in order to convince, it is necessary to find a way to find the reason for Guan's father's opposition.

Obviously, Guan Xuefeng didn't know either, otherwise, he wouldn't have been so confused on his face.

So, how do you unravel this mystery?

Luo Han was thinking, the road under his feet has begun to slowly ascend, looking ahead, the wide and smooth cement road has disappeared, not far away there is a primitive lush forest, obviously about to enter the mountain, thinking of the tea tree mushroom on the table, Luo Han asked curiously: "Do you have tea trees here?" ”

"Well, there are a few wild Camellia oleifera trees, not far away. The old people in the village sometimes pick it themselves to make tea, which is quite fragrant. Brother Luo likes to drink tea? ”

"It's average, but the dean's grandmother loves to drink, and my friend Chen Xiao will give her a little Tieguanyin every year." Knowing that the taste of this tea was acceptable, Luo Han secretly made up his mind to pick two tea fruits and go back to plant them later.

Guan Xuefeng's eldest uncle Liu Zhuang is a thin man, the wrinkles on his face are criss-crossed like Guan's father, but his eyes are extremely sharp, the young man next to him is his eldest son Liu Lintao, a little older than Guan Xuefeng, looks cool and his father, his eyes are also bright, but not so sharp, but his face is quite cold, he came from afar, and after nodding and saying hello to Guan Xuefeng, he looked at Luo Han's eyes with a little curiosity, but he only nodded, obviously not like to talk.

Luo Han calmly accepted his scrutiny, and after Guan Xuefeng introduced the two parties, he respectfully saluted Liuzhuang: "Hello, Uncle Liu!" I heard that you were going into the mountain, so I begged Uncle Guan and wanted to follow and see. ”

Liu Zhuang's eyes flashed, he noticed the hiking boots under his feet, and was quite satisfied with his respect: "Okay! Follow carefully on the road and don't run around! Xiaofeng, you are the same, pay attention, don't startle the snake like last time! ”

Guan Xuefeng's face flushed: "Uncle, in fact, it was just a momentary negligence before, but now I already know that I was wrong, and I won't make it again......"

Obviously, Liu Zhuang also knew that Guan Xuefeng was a talker, so he interrupted without waiting for him to finish: "Let's leave now and strive to come back for dinner in the evening!" ”

"Good!"
