At the beginning of 98, a major incident occurred in Yangjia Village, Jiujie Town.

Villager Yang Xingwang discovered a vein of gold while grazing sheep in the mountains.

Yangjia Village is located in the edge of the Taihang Mountains, there are many people and few places, there is no shortage of food and drink, but there is no shortage of surplus families, as soon as the news comes out, every family is shocked.

That's a gold mine!

In a big city, a small strip can be sold for hundreds, and such a large mountain, one next to the other, if it were all gold mines, how much would it cost!

For a while, the people in Yangjia Village were crazy, just like doping, and the first thing they said when they met was: Do you know that our village has made a fortune.

Yang Xingwang's family started up, asked someone to buy dozens of catties of explosives and went up the mountain to open a mine, and then one after another joined the mining team, not only Yangjia Village, but also the surrounding Lijia Village and Zhangjia Village also went up the mountain, and Jiujie Town thus set off a hot mining boom.

In the ninety-ninth year, on the first day of the fifth month, Yangjia Village stopped work for one day as usual, according to the pre-set rules, every first day and fifteenth day of the new year, the two days of the first day of the new year should be suspended, and the mountain should be worshiped and worshipped, praying that the mountain god bless everyone to be rich all the time.

Early in the morning, Yang Chundeng was busy.

Yang Chundeng is one of the few "capable" people in the village, with a high school degree, once worked in a big city, and later returned to the village with his girlfriend Li Juan to get married, and the two used their savings to open a small supermarket in the village.

"Two handfuls of yellow incense, two boxes of pastries, and a bottle of liquor...... Thirty-seven in total. Yang Chundeng entertained customers in front of the counter, collected money to find money, and packed things together in plastic bags: "Find you three yuan, walk slowly, uncle, come again." ”

"Spring lanterns, the old three." Yang Xingwang was wearing a shiny leather jacket and a black leather bag in his arm, and he reached out and took out a fifty yuan and slapped it on the counter.

Yang Chundeng threw the money into the money box, quickly packed the things, and said, "Brother Xingwang has made a lot of money this year, this leather coat was bought outside, we haven't seen anything sold here." ”

"It's worthy of seeing the world outside, or you have a good eye, what's the matter, my brother is not handsome, is he younger than before, it cost me more than four hundred." Yang Xingwang stretched out his arm and spun around.

Yang Chundeng said: "The value of this money, you see that you wear it exactly like those big bosses outside, it looks good." ”

"You can talk, why do I like to come to you to buy things, you know? Brother is willing to listen to you tell the truth. Yang Xingwang said a few more words before leaving.

Li Juan came out from behind with a basin of fried dough sticks, just in time to see the back of Yang Xingwang leaving.

It's been a busy morning, and it's almost ten o'clock, and the two of them have just eaten.

Li Juan filled two bowls of soup, took a bite of fritters, and said, "Our village has made a lot of money this year, and Yang Xingwang has become a big boss." ”

Yang Chundeng took a sip of hot soup: "What a big boss, that is, a hard-earned money, after more than a year, the mines on the mountain are almost the same, and it is estimated that it will not last long." ”

"That's not necessarily, I chatted with Liping's sister two days ago, and since their Chunmin went up the mountain, they can make hundreds a day." Li Juan glanced at Yang Chundeng and said, "Otherwise, you can also buy some guys and go up the mountain, our supermarket is usually not too busy, I can see it myself." ”

Yang Chundeng said: "I'm going to mine? Hey, daughter-in-law, you are also a high school graduate, why don't you settle accounts, if I go up the mountain, first we can still find the mine, just say that you can be busy in this supermarket, usually inventory or something, you don't understand, don't think about it, we have a good business in this supermarket, the first and fifteenth days of the first year of the new year are not enough to sell, and the income is not less than theirs, besides, you can't look at other people's families to make money and blush, you should be good to earn that money, and you have to have this life when you go up the mountain to mine. ”

As soon as she said this, Li Juan also stopped thinking: "Also, there are a few mines at the mouth, just a few, this mining is also tired, Liping said that their Chunmin comes back every day with a body of soil, and the grinding on their hands and feet is blistered, and when they go home, they fall into bed, and the big and small guys in the family are thrown to her, so look at it, it's better to be our family, light." ”

Yang Chundeng pondered for a while, and felt that something was wrong.

He and Yang Chunmin grew up together, closer than brothers, and when they were children, they could be said to have grown up wearing a pair of pants.

Yang Chunmin stopped going to school just after graduating from primary school, followed the family to farm, occasionally worked as a casual worker, and Yang Chunmin always came to him to drink when he was fine.

A few months ago, Yang Chunmin saved some money to buy mining equipment, and pulled his brother-in-law Zhang Liang to come over to partner, and the two of them officially went up the mountain to open a mine.

Yang Chunmin earns money, and Yang Chundeng is happy for him in his heart, but he always feels that it is not a matter to go on like this.

The mine mountain range in Jiujie Town is not only digging in Yangjia Village, but also in several villages on the border, but this mine is fixed, not as much as you want, and this mine is not all gold mines, but also silver mines, copper mines, iron ores, etc., these are not as valuable as gold mines.

The mine is digging a little less, more than a year down, more and more people go up the mountain to mine, used to earn one or two thousand a day, now can only earn a few hundred, and after a while it is estimated that even a few hundred can not earn.

And now the people who mine here are all free to move from family to family, and there is no charter to regulate it, maybe when the boss will have to come down and take care of it, doing this is not a long-term livelihood.

Yang Chundeng thought about it in his heart, so he said to Li Juan: "The next time you see your brother and sister, tell her that this mining is a dangerous job, and they all say that this gold is everywhere, but when there are blessed people, Chunmin is still young now, don't worry about it." ”

When Li Juan heard this, her eyes widened: "I don't want to say this, if you want to say it yourself, you let me say this, I don't know if it is cutting off other people's money, I won't do it." ”

"Why don't you cut off his financial route, this mining is not a long-term financial route."

"Then I'm not going either." Li Juan pulled the porridge and muttered: "You have time to take care of others, it is better to live our own life, take advantage of the present to earn more money, in case we have a child one day, then the expenses will be big, and this is not possible now." ”

After speaking, seeing Yang Chundeng put down the dishes and chopsticks, Li Juan quickly cleaned it up.

The day passed in a busy selling.

The next day it was 7 a.m., and there were many fewer purchases than yesterday.

Yang Chundeng had breakfast with Li Juan, Li Juan was cleaning up, and Aunt Wang came over.

"Yo, I just ate it."

Li Juan looked up, saw Aunt Wang and said with a smile: "After eating, Auntie, what do you want to buy?" ”

Aunt Wang came to the counter and said, "That yellow incense, bring me two boxes." ”

"Okay." Yang Chundeng went to move the goods.

Li Juan came over to chat with Aunt Wang.

"Auntie, the yellow incense at home has run out again, why did you use it so quickly this time, you bought a whole box last time, and it was only a few days."

"There are a few people here, saying that they heard about me from other villages, and they came to me to see what happened, and the house has not been broken for several days, and yesterday I was busy with the box of yellow incense to see the bottom, so I hurried over and bought two more boxes to go back."

"That's a good business."

"Hey, Auntie, this can't be called business, Auntie is using divine power to help those in need......"

Before Aunt Wang finished speaking, Yang Chundeng came back with two large boxes.

"Two boxes of yellow incense, both unsealed, a total of one hundred and four."

Li Juan said with a smile: "It's okay for my aunt to give a hundred, and the villagers can't make my aunt's money." ”

Aunt Wang smiled and squinted when she heard this, paid neatly, and said, "Juan'er will still do business, don't worry, I will only buy more yellow incense in the future, and I won't let you lose money." ”

"Okay, then I'll thank you Auntie first, do you want to let Spring Lantern move for you?"

Aunt Wang shook her head, picked up the box and said as she walked out: "If you have anything in the future, go to your aunt, and your aunt will keep it for you." ”

Seeing off Aunt Wang, Yang Chundeng frowned and was a little unhappy: "Why are you telling her so much." ”

Li Juan glanced at him and said, "People have recruited you to provoke you, people have come to sell goods, I don't laugh, I have to keep a face." ”
