After Li Zhe heard what his mother said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Did he ask himself to ask his classmates to dig together?
"Have you forgotten? The little girl you often went to school with when you were a child. No, it was the girl you often went to school with, Liu Xiaoxue."
Zhao Xianglan reminded Li Zhe.
"Remember? Didn't you think that your family's conditions were not good enough and you didn't go to high school? What's wrong? Remember?"
Li Zhe naturally remembered that there were a few classmates from Liujiacun, primary school, junior high school, and Lijiaji who went to school before, but they were a little older than him. There was only a little girl from the neighboring village who was in the same class with him, and the two of them went to school together.
"A few years ago, her mother was diagnosed with liver cancer. Oh, how pitiful she is. She also has a younger brother and a little sister who are in school. Her father is not in good health. I just saw it. It's not a problem to earn seven or eight hundred a day like this. You Go call me, your fourth aunt just reminded me, I wouldn’t even know if you didn’t tell me.”
Zhao Xianglan has a kind heart, so she couldn't help but sympathize with him after finding out.
"I'm going to go, I need to help with this." He was his childhood friend, but they had been separated for ten years, and he had forgotten about this friend.
Send money? Will you accept it? Xiaoxue was quite stubborn before.
Li Zhe returned home with a lot of thoughts. He originally wanted to drive there, but after thinking about it, he just ran away. It's a few miles of mountain road. It's a hammer. Why don't you show off by driving?
He had no interest in the tricycle at home. The broken bread had reached the end of its life, the engine had a cylinder failure and needed major repairs, so he simply scrapped it.
The conditions in Liujia Village are not bad. Every household has a tile-roofed house and a brick yard. Many people in Liujia Village plant saplings and flower seedlings. It is called Liujia Nursery. It is considered an ordinary mountain village.
Bai Shi wanted to follow, but was driven back by Li Zhe. After all, he looked unfamiliar and felt scared.
Now that spring has just begun, there is nothing busy. The saplings and flower saplings have been planted, and the seedlings that are a few years old have sprouted just after spring. Rapeseed flowers are everywhere, and they are full of vitality.
The breeze blows slowly, and a feeling of spring comes to my face.
After thinking for a while, he took out a backpack from his storage bag and carried it on his back. The village had not made any progress in ten years, but he found Liu Xiaoxue's home very skillfully.
There was a pair of doormen on the dilapidated wooden door. Li Zhe hesitated and patted the door hanging a few times.
"Who is it?" A boy's voice came from inside. Just when Li Zhe was about to speak, the door opened directly. Who are you asking?
It was a teenage boy, Li Zhe remembered, because both Liu Xiaoxue and Liu Xiaoyu were girls, but they still wanted a boy. After all, the need to carry on the family lineage was very important in rural areas.
"Who are you?" The boy looked a little dark and his eyes were bright.
"Li Zhe?" A surprised voice sounded. Li Zhe saw the familiar figure and immediately laughed.
"Long time no see, Xiaoxue, haha!" Liu Xiaoxue felt a little embarrassed for the sudden visit, so she took off her apron and invited Li Zhe in.
After not seeing each other for many years, the stubborn girl at the time had become more beautiful, but thinner, but it reminded Li Zhe constantly of the past.
"Xiao Lei, don't make trouble." Seeing her brother approaching curiously, Liu Xiaoxue washed her hands and scolded him immediately.
Seeing Li Zhe's heroic appearance, but now she was a person who couldn't leave the village, she felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Li Zhe's eyes, she couldn't help but blush slightly.
"That, that I listen to..."
"Come help!"
Suddenly a man's voice sounded outside, and the little boy ran out with a cry. The voice sounded like Liu Xiaoxue's father was back.
Liu Xiaoxue smiled and said, "Li Zhe, please sit down first."
After saying that, he ran out, and there were sounds of unloading goods outside.
Li Zhe couldn't sit still and was a little embarrassed, but he breathed out when he saw the little boy running in, followed closely by a man in a blue coat.
The man's face was dark and full of vicissitudes of life. He obviously didn't recognize Li Zhe at first sight, and then he smiled and said, "It's Xiao Zhe? It's been a long time. I heard that you are promising now."
The rumors about Li Jiaji were known all over the country, and Liu Sanhuai naturally knew it too.
"Uncle." Liu Sanhuai was younger than Li Zhe's father and used to call him uncle. Li Zhe called out, a little embarrassed and didn't know how to explain his purpose.
"Sit down, sit down. Hey, Xiao Zhe has grown so big now." Liu Sanhuai looked at Li Zhe and sighed a little. He used to be naughty and mischievous in studies, but he is still successful. His daughter is among the best in studies, but she is let down. Came down.
I glanced at my daughter making tea and couldn't help but feel sad.
"Would you like to smoke?" He took out a pack of crumpled qianmen from his pocket, pulled out two cigarettes and handed them to Li Zhe.
Li Zhe quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle, I don't know how to smoke."
"Oh, drink tea, drink tea." Hearing that Li Zhe didn't smoke, Liu Sanhuai smiled and pushed the tea that Liu Xiaoxue had just made.
"Xiao Zhe, what are you doing now?" Although they knew that Li Zhe was capable and had brought the whole village to wealth, no one knew about his work.
"This..." Li Zhe was also stunned for a moment. What kind of job do he have? Farming? Raising chickens? Raising ducks? Flower boss? Food boss? Restaurant? live streaming? Cultivation? Taoist priest? Alchemist?
For a moment, he didn't know how to answer, and suddenly realized that he was simply not doing his job properly.
"Dad, why are you asking this?" Seeing that Li Zhe couldn't speak for a while, Liu Xiaoxue thought it was inconvenient for Li Zhe to say it, so she quickly interrupted.
"Haha, Xiaozhe, you have tea." Liu Sanhuai was an honest person and didn't know what to say. He smiled and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he remembered that Li Zhe didn't like the smell of cigarettes, so he didn't.
"I have a lot of work and am not doing my job properly. Haha, I heard that my aunt is sick. I came to see if I can help."
Li Zhe was indeed a little embarrassed. Thinking of Liu Xiaoxue's mother, he still couldn't help but speak.
Liu Sanhuai rubbed his brows and said worriedly: "Poor people cannot get sick. Forget about minor illnesses. This serious illness can kill people."
There was silence for a while, except for the sound of the little boy smashing walnuts outside.
So helpful? Li Zhe's mind was spinning rapidly. No matter how many bamboo rats he caught, he wouldn't make much money. He couldn't just give it away, could he? How to treat cancer?
Li Zhe's eyes suddenly lit up. Isn't his Qingmu ointment the best in detoxification? But how can I give it to myself?
Let's find the Heavenly Master to trick him when the time comes.
"Uncle, we need to do greening in the village, greening the whole village, and the mountains. There is a huge demand for fruit trees, saplings, and flower seedlings. The price will be the same as what you sell it for. Can I collect it from you?"
Giving money directly will definitely make people feel indebted and uncomfortable. They may accept it as a loan, but more likely they will refuse it, so why don't they just refuse it?
Li Zhe thought of the greening problem in the village, why not leave it to Liu Sanhuai?
Liu Sanhuai's eyes suddenly widened, and he said a little excitedly: "Is anything okay? Our sales of saplings and flowers have been seriously unsalable in the past two years, and I am very worried."
great! Li Zhe was overjoyed. He took the backpack from his back and said with a smile: "Uncle, here is some deposit. Just sell it to me at the price you sell it. If you don't have enough, you can make up for it later."
Liu Xiaoxue looked at Li Zhe, a little confused.
Liu Sanhuai took it and opened it. He saw stacks of money, probably hundreds of thousands. He couldn't help but gasped: "It's useless. Saplings and flowers are cheap. How much do you want to buy?"
It’s not impossible to spend hundreds of thousands to buy green saplings. The county used to take care of the village, but it was taken over by a few well-connected people in the village. Everyone earned 70,000 to 80,000. It was so shady that the village later Not taken care of either.
"A lot." Li Zhe's mind was spinning quickly: "The mountains where I raise chickens and ducks, the back mountains, the surrounding barren hills, the surrounding villages, the villages, the flower gardens in the villages, uncle, you can do it for two million, you Just raise the price of the saplings and flower seedlings, and just get them done.”
Two million for greening? It’s just a county town, and a few hundred thousand yuan for greening is pretty good.
You know, the saplings grown in nurseries are sold locally for only a few cents a tree, and the more expensive ones are a few cents a dollar. But if they are taken to other cities to sell at the market, they are sold for more than ten yuan or more than twenty yuan, but they are not sold like that. not much.
two millions?
Liu Sanhuai was a little confused.
"Li Zhe, is this too much? Let my dad do it?" Liu Xiaoxue was a little nervous. Her dad was a real person. If he was given such a big business, he would be dizzy.
"I know you. This is decided by our village. This is the deposit."
You can’t give it to others, right? Why should I get a bird for someone else? Li Zhe said with a smile: "The remaining money has been prepared in the village, but it's just not convenient for me to bring them all."
Liu Sanhuai was moved. His wife needed to spend a lot of money, and it was difficult to say whether the treatment would be good or not. But if there was no money, there would be no hope at all.
Li Zhe nodded slightly to Liu Xiaoxue. Liu Xiaoxue bit her lip, looked at the silent Liu Sanhuai, thought of her mother, and said crisply: "Okay, my dad will take care of it!"
Liu Sanhuai was startled. He wanted to say something just now, but couldn't.
Li Zhe immediately let out a breath and said, "Don't worry about it. It will be a good time in a month when spring comes and the flowers bloom. By the way, our village is now overrun with bamboo rats and mountain rats. They cost 80 yuan a pound and they can even die." It’s fifty yuan a pound. It’s easy to make a thousand yuan a day if you’re lucky. Even kids can make hundreds of yuan. Do you want to go?”
"What?" The little boy outside put his head in and asked in surprise: "Is the bamboo rat or mountain rat valuable?"
"Such a high price?" Liu Sanhuai was shocked again. You must know that although bamboo rats and mountain rats are difficult to catch in the mountains, it is not a problem at all for experienced hunters like them.
The tea cup he had just picked up shook again, and he couldn't help but ask, "How much do you need?"
"We will collect as much as we can. Now Baiyang Village and Stone Village are digging in our village. If we are lucky, a family can earn several thousand yuan a day. The money will be settled on site. If you have nothing to do, you can go now. It will take a month for the saplings to be greened. We will return We need to plan the general greening situation.”
Li Zhe laughed. This sounded much more real than the previous one. After all, for Liu Sanhuai, he had no idea about the greening he just mentioned.
