Li Yuzhen was hesitant.

Obviously, she didn't expect Shi Ji's child's mind to be so precocious.

Shi Ji looked at Wen Da, then at Wen Zhong, and saw Wen Zhong shaking his head at him slightly, which made Shi Ji bury his head and be silent for a while. Look at the book

In the end, Shi Ji looked up at his mother, but asked, "Can my mother take my brother with her?"

Shi Ji is still a child after all.

Wenda coughed.

Li Yuzhen hurriedly shook his head, but he had to bite the bullet and say, "Mom can only take you alone."

Shi Ji thought about it seriously and said, "I'm willing to go with my mother."

Wenda did what he said, not only did not stop it, but also gave their mother and son 200 yuan.

Before leaving, looking at Shi Ji, who was suppressing joy, and Li Yuzhen, who was frowning, Wen Zhong suddenly said, "I'll send you off."

Wen Da still didn't stop it, only said that he wanted Wen Zhong to go early and return early.

On the way, Wen Zhong was in front, and mother and son were behind. Shi Ji asked Li Yuzhen many questions. For example, where has my mother been for so many years, why is she coming to me now, where are we going next, and asked Li Yuzhen if anyone has beaten her over the years, etc., Li Yuzhen couldn't answer a single question.

When he walked to the foot of a big mountain at the entrance of the village, Wen Zhong suddenly stopped and pointed to a path that winded up the mountain in front of him: "Let's go from here, over this mountain, there is a road that can make you go back to the south faster."

Li Yuzhen didn't give up, and he didn't think much about it: "Then let's go here."

Shi Ji pulled the corner of his mother's clothes and stood still, his eyes were full of vigilance, but he looked at Wen Zhong fearlessly.

Wen Zhong smiled and said to Li Yuzhen, "Mom, you take a few steps first, and my brother and I will say a few words. After you leave this time, I don't know if my brother and I will ever see each other again."

Li Yuzhen did not doubt him, and when he saw Shi Ji's strange expression, he was reluctant to listen to loyalty.

"Then I'll wait for you in front of you."

After Li Yuzhen finished speaking, he squatted down again and said face-to-face with Shi Ji, "You have grown up, just say anything you want to say to your brother."

After standing up, she sighed inexplicably.

After Li Yuzhen walked up the mountain path, he sat under a big tree and waited for Shiji.

Wen Zhong is two years older than Shi Ji, and his height is more than half a head taller than Shi Ji. Wen Zhong turned his back to Li Yuzhen, completely covering Shi Ji in his figure, which made Li Yuzhen unable to see the expressions of the two of them, and could not hear what they said clearly.

The two brothers talked for a long time, for more than half an hour.

When Shi Ji appeared in front of Li Yuzhen's eyes again, there were two tear stains on his face, obviously reluctant to be loyal.

Li Yuzhen wanted to take Shi Ji's hand, but Shi Ji took his hand away, sobbed and asked, "Mom, have you ever been hungry?"

Of course, Li Yuzhen was starving, but Shi Ji's sudden question made her inexplicable, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.

Shi Ji choked up and continued, "Starving...... It's worse than being beaten. I'd rather my dad beat me than he didn't give me food."

Li Yuzhen finally had a sour nose, realizing that Shi Ji was here in Wenda, in addition to being punched and kicked, I am afraid that he was also deliberately starved. Shi Ji also starved when he was younger, but he was still in Vietnam, and he was too young to seem to remember how he felt at that time.

Then, Shi Ji asked, "Mom, when you go back to the south, will you often run out of food?"

Vietnam pursued an expansionist policy, and it was the Vietnamese people who suffered the most. The protracted war in Vietnam has left Vietnamese people displaced and impoverished. After the end of the war, the Vietnamese authorities tried to promote regional hegemony, but they were beaten by the "teacher", or "big brother", which made the already difficult people's livelihood worse.

In the 80s, the Vietnamese people were short of food and clothing. Many people do not have a stable place to live and have to live in bomb shelters in harsh conditions. Li Yuzhen's third husband has his own rammed earth house, and he can already be regarded as a wealthy local family.

People in some impoverished areas are forced to do so because they don't have access to clean food and water

Eating spoiled food. As for basic daily necessities such as sugar, oil, and soap, they were already considered luxuries for Vietnamese people at that time.

Forced to make ends meet, many Vietnamese have secretly gone to the Sino-Vietnamese border to trade in exchange for necessities, despite the authorities' bans. It has become common for Vietnamese women to cross the border and marry into China.

At that time, Vietnam's poverty plight was not only reflected in the starvation of the people, but also in the situation of the Vietnamese army.

Due to the shortage of military spending, lack of materials, and chaotic management, the Vietnamese army is facing serious logistical problems. "Soldiers do not have enough food and clothing" and "life in the armed forces is very difficult" are the norm.

During a routine inspection, it was found that for every 17 kilograms of military rations, the Vietnamese army was mixed with 2 kilograms of straw and sawdust, and the normal supply could not be guaranteed.

During the war against Vietnam in a broad sense (1979-1989), there were Vietnamese soldiers who secretly ran to the first position and secretly ate canned food, dry food and other military food, which shows how hungry the Vietnamese army was.

Li Yuzhen finally realized what problems he would face after taking Shi Ji away.

So, she also wiped her tears and said, "Xiaoji, why don't you stay with your father."

If Li Yuzhen really came to find Shi Ji, he would definitely not ask him to stay at this time.

Shi Ji's face suddenly turned cold, and the tears in his eyes disappeared, and he looked at Li Yuzhen coldly: "Mom, you really didn't come to me."

Li Yuzhen was speechless. At the same time, looking at the child's cold eyes, she was suddenly a little scared.

Shi Ji changed his words coldly: "Mom, you shouldn't have left me in the first place, and now that you're not looking for me, you shouldn't come back."

Seeing that Li Yuzhen was still losing consciousness, Shi Ji stretched out his small hand to hold her big hand, lowered his head, and said in a soothing tone, "Mom, I'll send you......

His eyes were as cold as frost, and he secretly turned his head and glanced at Wen Zhong.

Wen Zhong smiled.

"Mom, I'll send you too...... I'll show you the way." Wen Zhong walked up with a smile.

Li Yuzhen only heard his son's tone gently, and only when his son decided to stay here, he didn't think much about it, took Shi Ji's hand, and followed Wen Zhong step by step.

On the same day, a piece of bad news came back to the "Mine Village". Li Yuzhen accidentally stepped on a landmine on Panlong Mountain at the entrance of the village. Because the path where the mine was located was located on the edge of a cliff, Li Yuzhen was blown up by the mine and fell into the cliff, leaving no bones left. The bottom of the cliff is a no-man's land, where wild beasts are rampant, and there is no way to go.

The village sent people to the scene, only to see a black crater blown out by a mine on the edge of the cliff.

Thankfully, the two children were unscathed.

Half a year ago, a landmine also exploded in Panlong Mountain. There were no casualties at that time, but when the two little cubs of the Wenda family were herding sheep on the mountain, one of them accidentally stepped on a landmine while grazing.

This second mine alerted the village committee. They quickly organized the "bomb disposal unit" in the village to conduct a comprehensive investigation of the places that could be passed through people in Panlong Mountain, but they did not find a single hair after working for more than half a month.

This year, Wen Zhong was 12 years old, and Shi Ji was only 10 years old.

The water flows eastward, the leaves fall one after another, and the time flies quietly, slowly, wearing new clothes, lighting firecrackers, year by year, gradually approaching, secretly moving away.

When the county's cooperatives were also preparing to start large-scale reclamation and planting tea trees, Wenda, like a dog with a keen sense of smell, immediately approached the person in charge of the cooperative, cried and sold miserably, and asked them to buy their own tea trees.

Considering that direct purchase can save a lot of time and investment, shorten the output cycle, and Wenda's tea tree hill is far smaller than the scale they plan to cultivate. Therefore, the cooperative is also half-pushed, and it is arrogant to "follow" Wenda.

As a result, Wenda finally packaged and transferred his tea tree hilltop to the county cooperative.

At the same time, Wenda also learned a seemingly inconspicuous news through the cooperative: the cooperative is committed to taking advantage of the local climate to operate a variety of agricultural products, especially various cash crops.

For example, tea and fruits, but purchasing crop seeds in large quantities is a major annoyance.

In a word, there is not a decent agricultural seed wholesale company in our county, even in Qinghe City, which has a complete range of products and can achieve large-scale supply.

Wenda immediately thought that when he planted tea trees, he did go to several places to buy all the seedlings.

As a result, Wenda, who has completed the accumulation of primitive capital, sees that the planting and sales of tea will only become more and more, more and more large-scale and specialized, and he is a nouveau riche in a small mountain village, mainly scattered wholesale, just like a small shrimp, in the face of cooperatives such a "behemoth", whether it is sales channels or sales scale, can only be out of reach, and sooner or later will be "swallowed", after the transfer of tea mountain, he decisively started an agricultural seed wholesale company.

While Wenda's career was thriving, Ruan Xingzhu was also pregnant.

In the early years, Wenda seemed to spend his main "energy" on domestic violence, so Ruan Xingzhu's pregnancy was so late.

At this time, Wenda's family of five moved to Qinghe City.

Wenda's father passed away in the city, and naturally returned to the "Landmine Village" to hold a funeral.

The funeral held by the local tyrant Wenda for his father can be described as very grand.

There is almost no interruption in the flow of water for three meals a day, and the chef in charge of cooking is simply divided into three shifts, each responsible for breakfast, lunch and dinner in batches.

Fireworks, artillery fireworks, and firecrackers endure for a long time, as if they don't need money.

A large stage was erected in front of the altar.

When Wenda spent a lot of money to hire someone to perform the unique trick of Sichuan Opera on stage, few people watched it off the stage; When a folk orchestra from Henan Province participated in a national performance in Qinghe, they were also smashed by Wenda with money, and when they played "Hundred Birds and Phoenix" on stage, the villagers in the audience were few spectators, yawning and muttering "It's too noisy".
