When the sun rose high, Jiang Xue, who was non-stop, climbed halfway up the mountain, and she had to go deep into the mountains and forests, so that it was possible to dig ginseng.

But half a day passed, Jiang Xue dug up half a basket of wild vegetables, and even a few pheasants and hares ran over, but she didn't see a single ginseng.

Just when Jiang Xue wanted to give up and hit a few pheasants, she tripped over the roots of the tree and fell into the mud, her chin hit the ground, and Jiang Xue's tears came out.

Jiang Xue looked down at the culprit tree roots, but she didn't expect to see a touch of turquoise at the bottom of the tree roots, the flat and small leaves, and the top also had sharp needles, a little like ginseng leaves.

Jiang Xue didn't care about the pain, quickly sat up, took out a shovel and carefully gouged around the leaves, not even daring to breathe.

Sweat soaked Jiang Xue's clothes, but when she saw the yellow-white rhizomes exposed in the soil and the dragging ginseng whiskers, Jiang Xue said that no matter how tired and painful it was, it was worth it.

With all the care not to hurt the ginseng, Jiang Xue completely dug the ginseng out of the ground, and looked at the palm-sized wild ginseng, Jiang Xue smiled with relief.

Wrap the cloth carefully, pour out all the wild vegetables in the bamboo basket, put the ginseng to the lowest part, and cover the wild vegetables.

Jiang Xue packed up and filled in the deep pit she had dug, she stood up, folded her hands, and bowed a few times to the root of the tree that tripped her, thanking it for giving her a precious ginseng.

Jiang Xue is a very contented person, when she dug one, she didn't stop any longer, and immediately turned around and went down the mountain, on the way back, Jiang Xue only felt that the wind under her feet was full of energy.

With this ginseng, I finally have the start-up capital to do my own business, and I can still have some filial piety to my father and mother and subsidize my brother and sister-in-law.

My brother and sister-in-law also have a long way to support, but they always help themselves, this kindness, Jiang Xue must repay it.

"Dad, mother, I'm back!"

Jiang Xue couldn't suppress her excitement, and walked to the door of the house and trot, Wang Fuqiang was sitting in the yard weaving a bamboo basket, seeing Jiang Xue's excited appearance, his heart moved.

Wang Fuqiang looked around, no one cared about Jiang Xuedi's actions, he calmly got up and closed the courtyard door, and whispered to Jiang Xue: "Go back to the house and talk about it." ”

Jiang Xue took off the bamboo basket and held it in her arms, and after returning to the house, she quickly poured out the wild vegetables, took out a small cloth bag from the basket, and said excitedly in her throat:

"Dad, I've dug up ginseng!"

Wang Fuqiang rubbed his hands on his trouser legs, carefully took and opened the cloth bag, observed it carefully, and after a while, he put the cloth bag on the table, patted his thigh and said excitedly:

"My mother, it's really ginseng, girl, you're really lucky!"

Chen Xueqin led Tianci to play in the back room, and when she heard the movement, she quickly took Tianci's hand and walked out, and said with great joy:

"My good man, I really dug it, show it to me!"

Chen Xueqin stretched her neck and looked at it for a while, swallowed her saliva, and said with emotion: "God, this ginseng is not small, it has to be sold for a lot of money!" ”

Wang Fuqiang trembled his hands, took out a dry cigarette roll from the cabinet to smoke, and finally lit the fire, Wang Fuqiang took a puff, choked on the strong dry smoke and coughed.

"Ahem, cough, this, ahem, it will take at least thirty years, and it will not be a problem to sell it for one hundred and eighty yuan."

Chen Xueqin smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and clasped her hands together and said: "Amitabha, my daughter has finally gone lucky, with this money, you don't have to worry about my daughter all day long." ”

Jiang Xue was also very happy, she patted her chest, and said arrogantly: "I see that this has to be a fifty-year-old ginseng, and the twenty-year-old wild ginseng that sold ginseng before was only a little big sold for more than 100, and I have to be at least 300 upwards." ”

Wang Fuqiang took a sip of water and said with a smile: "You think it's weird and beautiful, this ginseng has to be sold in the county, you can't sell it at a good price in the village, Ming'er asked your brother to take you to the county, sell it quickly, save a lot of dreams at night." ”

Jiang Xue nodded: "That's right, Dad, eat better tonight and celebrate, our family will be rich." ”

Chen Xueqin's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "The money from this sale is your own, we don't want it, you let me save dim sum better than anything else." ”

Jiang Xue leaned her head on Chen Xueqin's shoulder, and said softly: "Daddy and mother have loved me for so long, and I don't want to hurt my father and mother anymore, I will sell it tomorrow for money, let's make plans again, Daddy and Niang don't want to recognize me as a girl." ”

Wang Fuqiang finished smoking and sighed: "Xue, my father and mother know that you are filial, it's good that you have this heart, but your life is sad, how can we ask for your money." ”

"I have chickens at home, I have land and I also have the craft of basket weaving, and your brother and sister-in-law have jobs, so it is not your turn to subsidize us."

Jiang Xue lowered her eyes, she sniffed, and choked up: "I used to have no ability, but now I have made a windfall, and I don't have a reason to enjoy it alone, you don't want it, you have to think about it for my brother and sister-in-law, Xiang Yuan will go to school in the spring next year, so I will get a lot of money." ”

Jiang Xue's words were reasonable, Chen Xueqin lowered her head and was silent, she thought for a long time and finally relieved: "Then you can give Xiang Yuan a tuition, and the rest is not good, your in-laws don't use it, Zhu Haishun is like that, you have to plan and spend this money well." ”

"That's natural, I'm going to start a small business and sell some food."

Jiang Xue saw that Chen Xueqin agreed, hugged Tianci and lifted it high, and said happily: "Tianci has delicious food, my mother wants to raise Tianci to be white and fat, stronger than a pig." ”

Tianci pursed his mouth: "Pigs stink, Tianci is not a pig." ”

Wang Fuqiang and Chen Xueqin laughed happily, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm, Jiang Xue secretly swore that with such a good father and mother, she would definitely work hard to make money so that they could live a good life together.

Wang Jiangnan felt incredible about Jiang Xue's digging of ginseng, he looked at the ginseng repeatedly, and always felt like he was in a dream.

Is ginseng so easy to dig now? As soon as he said he was going to dig it, he dug it, and this luck is simply no one.

Wang Jiangnan couldn't help but sigh to Jiang Xue: "Sister, I think the reason why God gave you this ginseng is completely to make up for the hardships you have suffered with Zhu Haishun in the past few years." ”

Jiang Xue was convinced by this statement.

On the second day, Wang Jiangnan took leave from the factory, took two baskets of eggs, and went to the county in an ox cart with Jiang Xue in the name of selling eggs.

People in the village often go to the county to sell things, hoping to sell more money, so the brother and sister are not eye-catching, Wang Jiangnan's heart is beating all the way, but Jiang Xue has a calm face.

When he arrived at the county seat, Wang Jiangnan changed into a new shirt and cloth shoes according to Jiang Xue's instructions, dressed up neatly and neatly, and looked like the kind of person with a lot of family background, and went to sell ginseng to inquire about the situation.

Jiang Xue was waiting around the corner, Wang Jiangnan ran a few stores, and told Jiang Xue that ginseng from about fifty years old would be sold for 42 to 48, and ordinary people would definitely not be able to afford it.

Jiang Xue knew what to do, so she went to sell ginseng alone, Jiang Xue was dressed more rustic, so when she came to sell things, the boss didn't want to deal with her.

"The boss will palm my eyes first, and if you don't accept me, I'll go somewhere else." , Jiang Xue opened the cloth bag as she spoke, the boss's eyes lit up, swept Jiang Xue up and down, and said nonchalantly:

"What kind of good thing should I be, it's just a water ginseng, it looks like a little ginseng, if you want to buy it, I see that your life is not easy, so I should take it as a kind heart, give you twenty yuan, put it aside, I'll give you money."

Jiang Xue sneered, this was clearly bullying her a countryman, thinking that she didn't understand this, wild ginseng was said to be fake, and a few hundred yuan of ginseng bid twenty, this boss is really a good person!

The bid is small, and the year is lowered, this Jiang Xue can understand, going out to do business, it is all for his own interests.

But for this kind of person, Jiang Xue didn't want to do business with him, so she put away the cloth bag and walked out.

"Hey, don't go, we can discuss if we have less money, hey!"

The boss hurriedly came to stop him, Jiang Xue was too lazy to take care of him, he didn't even look back, and went straight to the next store.

The next two bosses all wanted to bully Jiang Xue, a country woman who didn't understand the market, and kept the price extremely low, and wanted to buy Jiang Xue's ginseng for more than a hundred, but Jiang Xue naturally refused to sell it.

Going around and around, Jiang Xue went to a large-scale pawn shop to try her luck, the shopkeeper's attitude was very kind, and the old man who loved health also studied ginseng.

Hearing that Jiang Xue had a ginseng with a good vintage, he asked her to take it out for a good estimate, and if it was appropriate, he kept it himself.

Jiang Xue handed it over carefully, the shopkeeper opened the paper bag, his expression was a little dignified, he took a magnifying glass to look at it carefully, smelled it again, and took it to the sun.

After a long time, the shopkeeper nodded, stroked the goatee on his chin, and said kindly: "Your ginseng is a good ginseng, and the year is long, between fifty and sixty years, I won't hide it from you, I sincerely want it." ”

"I see that you seem to have changed a lot of people, and you probably have a number in your heart, I can get up to 400 yuan, and I don't make any money if you see it, you can sell it if it's suitable, and if it's not suitable, you can go elsewhere."

Four hundred is good, Jiang Xue pretended to be thinking, gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Add ten more yuan, and I will sell it for four hundred and one." ”

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded and said, "Okay, refreshing, I added these ten yuan, just make a friend." ”

The wild ginseng that Jiang Xue dug up was finally sold for four hundred and ten yuan, and a pile of thick banknotes was held in his hand, Jiang Xue nodded to confirm that the amount was correct, and then got up and said goodbye after wishing the shopkeeper's business prosperity.

Wang Jiangnan's eggs were sold for most of them, and when he saw Jiang Xue coming, he quickly got up to meet him and asked in a low voice: "How is it, have you sold it?" ”

Jiang Xue nodded, and whispered to Wang Jiangnan: "Sold four hundred and one, brother, sell the eggs, let's go back quickly." ”

"What!" Wang Jiangnan was startled, and couldn't help shouting loudly, attracting the side eyes of passers-by, but fortunately he was clever and shouted: "Eggs, sell eggs!" ”
