Old Man Huang blushed, and Huang Wulang said: "My dad is thin-skinned, so I'm embarrassed to come. I just thought it was my family, so I came over to ask first. In fact, it's okay if you don't accept it. We can go to the city." …”
Captain Geng's face was full of smiles: "You have already talked about your own family. If you say this, it is obvious."
Huang Wulang quickly took out a basket of mushrooms and fungus and said, "This is what Fu Bao picked in the mountains. You asked me to bring it to you."
"Ah? This little girl went to the mountains, it's not very safe!"
Huang Wulang smiled and said: "The little girl likes to go up the mountain. She asked me to ask if you know the person who collects medicinal materials?"
"What? Medicinal materials?"
Huang Wulang took out a Codonopsis root from his arms and said, "They made this in the mountains too. Children like to fool around."
Captain Geng was a little dizzy, this is... this is Codonopsis pilosula, right?
Is his goddaughter too capable? Captain Geng felt proud in his heart. He pushed his bicycle along the road: "Let's go, I'll take you to my friend. He works in a hotel in the city."
Captain Geng quickly led them to find the man. The man looked at the wild boar that was still moving from time to time, and smiled broadly: "I haven't seen such a big guy for a long time. Take it, you must take it. Do you want money or... …”
"We want food." Huang Wulang said directly.
The man smiled and said, "Okay, how about six bags of whole grains?"
Huang Wulang immediately wanted to leave. More than 200 kilograms of pigs were exchanged for six bags of coarse grains. Isn't this sick?
Captain Geng snorted coldly: "Xu Ming, you are not kind!"
The man grinned his yellow teeth and said, "Food is expensive now! My family only has six bags of coarse grains, so let's do it! I'll add another bag of fine grains and 50 eggs, that's all."
Huang Wulang nodded and gave Fu Bao some fine grains and eggs. Not bad, not bad...
Finally, the deal was done, and Captain Geng led them to knock on the back door of the drug store.
Huang Wulang's eyes lit up. Fu Bao was indeed right. Captain Geng was a capable man.
The people inside saw Captain Geng's face full of surprise and said, "Hey! You noble man!"
"Tui! Is it expensive? Let me see if this Codonopsis pilosula can be exchanged for food?" Captain Geng is very familiar with the people in this drug store.
The middle-aged man in the drug store smiled and said, "Your uncle?"
Captain Geng smiled and said: "Baiji, stop talking nonsense, he is really my uncle. I recognized a goddaughter. This is her grandfather, isn't he my uncle?"
Bai Ji almost stopped laughing and said, "No! What do you think? How can you accept a little country girl to do..."
Geng Ren and Hu had a face on their faces, which startled Bai Ji. Bai Ji quickly said, "Okay, let's do this! I'm an uncle, and I have to show my love to my niece no matter what, and wait for me."
After saying that, he entered the room. Geng Renhe smiled and said:
"Uncle, he's a bit outspoken, but he's my good brother.
It was also because of me that I was implicated, so I came here and opened a medicine shop. I would give him medicinal materials in the future. "
Old Man Huang nodded quickly. Huang Wulang pretended not to understand, but what he meant just now was that Geng Renhe was not from their place, and he was not from the countryside, so he might have a good background.
Bai Ji came out, wrapped a 10-dollar bill in red paper and said, "This is a red envelope for my niece."
ten bucks? Old Man Huang quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no need..."
Geng Renhe took it directly and said with a smile: "Then I will thank you for my goddaughter."
When we got home, it was already midnight, but those ten bags of coarse grains, two bags of fine grains, and fifty eggs made Old Man Huang and Huang Wulang feel dizzy.
They felt like they were going on a robbery. When they got home, they found that the door to their home was open.
Old Man Huang drove the car not far from the cave. Old Mrs. Huang rushed over, her eyes shining:
"How can medicinal materials and wild boars be exchanged for so much food? Tsk tsk tsk...
Throw six bags of coarse grains and one bag of fine grains into the cave, and divide the other four bags among them! "
It’s not easy for every household now. Besides, they still have about thirty bags of food left.
Those families came over to collect the food with smiles on their faces. Shitou's mother said: "Something happened to Huang Xiaohu and his family. They haven't come back yet. I'm afraid the village chief will have to notify everyone to go out and look for them soon."
Fu Bao listened and trembled.
Huang Nianmei said:
“He followed us up the mountain in the afternoon, and then he shot two wild boars, and a dispute broke out.
The five of them carried a wild boar and left. We stayed on the mountain for a while before going down. "
Old Mrs. Huang said: "Does anyone know that you guys went up the mountain together?"
"Someone in the village saw it..."
Old Mrs. Huang frowned and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the village chief's house."
Excluding Huang Dahu's gang, there are only eleven children here, eight households, because some families have two children.
Xiaomei didn't count, so she pulled Fubao and said, "Fubao, I'm a little scared, I..."
Fu Bao patted Xiaomei's hand and said:
"You go back first! You won't be of much use here, so take some food back.
Just say you asked for it, then your mother wouldn't beat you so hard. "
Now Xiaomei can be considered a person with food. She saved a bag of whole grains, and Fu Bao asked her to bring back two bowls of whole grains every now and then. He said they were given by Fu Bao because he was playing with her.
In this way, Xiaomei's mother will not beat her, and will encourage Xiaomei to play more with Fubao.
This is why Xiaomei now has time to accompany them up the mountain.
This method is simple and crude. Xiaomei's family is currently short of food, and they really can't eat. Although the coarse grains she brings home every now and then can't keep them full, at least they can keep them from starving to death.
Once people have something they care about, they become timid in doing things, so now Xiaomei's mother doesn't dare to hit her at all.
Xiaomei gritted her teeth and said, "Aren't I running away from the battlefield? I will be laughed at."
Fu Bao said: "If your mother finds out that you go up the mountain with us every time, you will be in trouble again. Besides, there is really no use for you to stay here."
Xiaomei then returned home in three steps. Several family members went to the village chief's house and told the whole story. The village chief said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I'm afraid that the people in Hongdou Village will detain them." ”
He was slightly worried. If it was easy to detain them and ask for food, he was afraid of killing them directly.
The village chief gathered the villagers together, and finally more than twenty strong men from the village followed him to Hongdou Village to ask for help. Huang Dalang and Huang Wulang also went.
People like Hongdou Village are so shameless. When the village chief of Hongdou Village saw Huang Xiaohe, he smiled and said, "What wind brought you here?"
Huang Xiaohe waved his hand and said: "Hand over these children, or I will go to the police station."
The village chief of Hongdou Village smiled evilly and said, "Hey! Are you trying to scare me? I'm so scared by you, I'm so scared!"
