At the new house, Tang Xue, Li Lan, Li Shankui and others are all busy.
The weather has been pretty good these days, and there are already a lot of mushrooms drying in the drying room that can be packed into bags, so Li Shankui also put aside his work in the fields and came here to help.
After all, the daughter-in-law is pregnant now, and the daughter is too busy alone.
Moreover, after following his son to the provincial capital, Li Shankui also looked away.
No matter how much he works in the fields, he can't make much money. Maybe after a year of hard work, it's not enough for his son to go to the supply and marketing cooperative!
Therefore, although you still have to work in the fields to make a living, it is almost enough. There is no need to work as hard as before!
In the shade under the eaves, Tang Xue was settling accounts. Suddenly she said to Li Lan beside her: "Second sister, why do I feel that the mushrooms brought by everyone these days are getting less and less?"
Li Lan smiled and said, "Haha, that's not good, it's normal!"
Then Li Lan continued: "After all, those things are not available all over the mountains and plains. With so many people in the village going into the mountains every day, the growth rate of mushrooms cannot match the speed of people picking them!"
"Will this affect our acquisition volume?" Tang Xue frowned.
"No, behind our Nianzishan Village are deep mountains and old forests. If there are no mushrooms nearby, the villagers will find ways to pick them far away, or go into the old forests!" Li Land said.
"That's good..."
Just as he was talking, he heard a car bell ringing.
The two looked outside and found that Li Yi was back.
Tang Xue's face suddenly became happy, she immediately stood up and went directly to greet him.
After Li Yi parked the car, he looked at his daughter-in-law who came over and said with a smile: "It's too hot, be careful of heatstroke!"
"It's okay, when did you come back?"
"Just got home!"
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"have eaten!"
While talking, Li Yi pulled Tang Xue to the eaves.
Li Shankui was as dull as ever. After seeing his son, he simply asked when he would be back, and then continued to work in the drying room.
Arriving under the eaves, the second sister Li Lan immediately asked: "How about it, have you earned this money?"
Li Yi shook his head and said, "No, things were going smoothly. If I had spoken, tens of thousands of dollars would not be a problem, but I always felt that the money should not be taken, so I came back!"
"You mean you gave up the tens of thousands of dollars you got?" the second sister asked in surprise.
"Um!"
"You are not lying to us, are you? You are so smart, would you do such a thing?" The second sister asked with a suspicious look on her face.
Tang Xue on the side comforted him: "If you don't earn it, you don't earn it. The worst we can do is take less in the future!"
"Besides, the mushrooms sent by the village members in the past few days are not as much as before. We can handle it if we work harder!"
Li Yi felt very comfortable listening to his wife's gentle and considerate words.
Since her marriage, especially after she was diagnosed with pregnancy, Tang Xue has become more and more gentle to herself.
The two of them feel like they are in love together, it feels so good!
At that moment, Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry about money. Although I didn't earn any money from the city, I went to the credit union before I came back and the loan was already processed!"
"Loan? How much did you borrow and was the interest high?" the second sister asked hurriedly.
Hearing this, even Li Shankui, who was busy in the drying room, stopped what he was doing and walked out.
"I borrowed 40,000 yuan, no interest required!" Li Yi said.
"You really don't want interest?"
"I really don't want it!" Li Yi said.
"Why should someone lend you 40,000 yuan?" Li Shankui asked immediately.
"I asked Director Liang of the sugar factory for help, and he took me directly to Director Li of the county credit union. He is in charge of this matter!" Li Yi said.
"Is that Director Li's name Li Yeqiao?"
"Yes! Dad, do you know Director Li?"
"Well, I don't know you, but your grandfather and his father knew each other when he was alive. They went back to our hometown to worship our ancestors together before." Li Shankui said.
In fact, Li Yi also knew about this. He had heard his father talk about it in his previous life, but the reason why his father mentioned Li Yeqiao at that time was entirely because he was sentenced to death.
Li Yi still clearly remembers his father's original words: "If you really want to talk about it, he can be regarded as our master, and he is the one who just released the fifth server..."
Because of this, Li Yi deliberately learned about Li Yeqiao, so he said those words to Liang Yukui today.
Tang Xue said with some worry: "Didn't it say that day that our family's fund gap was only fifteen or six thousand yuan? Why did we need to borrow so much money all at once?"
Li Lan also thought about this question and echoed: "Yes, twenty thousand yuan is enough. You kid borrowed so much more, what do you want to do?"
"What can I do?"
Li Yi also knew that the people in his family could not understand his thoughts, so he immediately continued: "I thought about how easy it is to have such an opportunity, no mortgage and no interest. If you encounter such a good thing, you should pay more attention to it." Son!"
"If we can use the money to collect more mushrooms, then we will collect more mushrooms. If we can't use them, we can deposit them in the bank. As long as we don't do it, we'll be fine!"
Li Shankui was still a little worried about his son's irresponsible temperament, and immediately said: "After the loan is returned, some of it will be left for Xiaoxue to keep, and the rest will be put in the credit union. You can withdraw as much as you need!"
"Okay, okay, it's all up to you..."
Just as he was talking, the loudspeaker in the village suddenly rang: "Attention, all members of the educated youth community... Attention, all members of the educated youth community, in case of emergency, each household will now send a representative to the brigade headquarters for a meeting!"
"Attention, all members and educated youth..."
The loudspeaker shouted five times before it ended!
"What is the production team doing? Holding a meeting on a hot day, no wonder they can figure it out!" the second sister couldn't help complaining.
Li Shankui glared at his second daughter, and then said, "You are the only one who talks a lot. Maybe there is something urgent in the team!"
Then Li Shankui said to Li Yi: "There are still a lot of mushrooms that need to be packed in the drying room. Go and do it. Don't let Xiaoxue get started!"
"OK!"
After saying that, Li Shankui shook the dust off his body, then walked out of the yard with his hands behind his back!
After his father left, Li Yi chatted with Tang Xue for a while, and then went to the drying room to collect the dried mushrooms!
They harvest the best wild mushrooms from the mountains. The fresh mushrooms are plump and fragrant, and the dried mushrooms are equally fragrant.
In the city, under normal circumstances, one pound of dried mushrooms costs about 1,200 to 1,500 pounds.
With the effect of the reopening, living standards in coastal areas have improved significantly. Coupled with droughts in many places this summer and autumn, no one is interested in drying mushrooms.
So much so that in winter, the price of dried mushrooms soars.
By the time the Chinese New Year was approaching, one pound had even reached the two-four-yuan mark.
Therefore, for Li Yi, whether he can make his first pot of gold depends on these mushrooms.
In fact, for Li Yi, if he wants to make money now, there are many opportunities, but most of them require going to other places.
And he didn't want to leave Tang Xue before the child was born, so he could only use this stupid method to make money.
Fortunately, Li Yi doesn't pursue much money now, just spend enough.
Take your time when it comes to making money, don’t rush!
