"That's your luck. Otherwise, the giant python would be a match for the tigers and leopards. Don't run into the mountains in the future. Our family has food and drink. There is no need to take this risk."
Shui Jianguo poured the contents of his animal skin bag onto the table. The stones, gold rings, gold bracelets, and diamond necklaces inside are so diverse that it makes people dizzy.
"Where did these come from?" Shui Shangqing asked helplessly.
Shui Bingyue sat up from the kang and explained to her parents: "Xiao Bai found these and he gave them to me."
"So that's it. I heard from the old man in the past that some animals are born with the ability to hunt for treasures. It seems that this is a treasure-hunting mink." Liu Xuemei guessed.
"But it likes to eat meat, so it is a bit difficult to feed. There is an educated youth living in the house. If we feed the meat to the little mink but refuse to give any to the educated youth, it will definitely make him feel uncomfortable."
Shui Shangqing has many issues to consider. After all, he is the village chief.
Shui Bingyue promised: "I feed the little mink myself and won't let others know what it eats. Even if I know, they can't argue with me, a little girl.
Besides, after half a month at most, its injuries will be healed and it will be able to find food on its own. It's my friend. "
"That's okay." Neither father nor mother objected anymore.
The little marten is now nestling obediently in a bamboo basket covered with cushions. This is its nest. Much warmer than the tree cave.
Shui Shangqing stroked the crystal clear colored stones and asked his daughter funny: "These stones are not valuable, why did you ask your brother to bring them back for you?"
"I think it looks good. I can ask my mother to use silk thread to make it into a bracelet and wear it on my hand."
Liu Xuemei nodded and agreed: "This is not a difficult task, but your wrist is small and you can't use a few stones. What about the rest?"
"Of course I'll put the rest away first. I'll talk about it later when I figure out how to use it."
Liu Xuemei picked a few of different colors to keep, and gave the rest to her daughter to put in her treasure box. The jewelry was also wiped clean one by one and placed in a special jewelry box to be used as a dowry for her daughter.
Shui Shangqing and Shui Jianguo discussed the issue of Ganoderma lucidum.
"There are two of them. Whether they are ginseng or Ganoderma, they are both extremely precious medicines. Let's keep the big one for emergencies. Let's sell the smaller one to a drug store in the city."
Shui Jianguo shook his head: "Dad, I have a classmate whose family is from a medical family, and the price given for purchasing medicines is 10% to 20% higher than that of state-owned stores. I might as well sell this Ganoderma lucidum to them."
"That's okay, then you can take it with you when you go back this time. After you dispose of this thing, the money from the sale will be directly deposited in your own name.
You are not young anymore, it’s time to consider getting married. What kind of girl do you want to find?
Dad knows that you are educated and good-looking, as long as you can find the person you like. We make it no matter how much we spend. "
Shui Jianguo shook his head: "I don't like anyone yet. Even if I do in the future, I will definitely not embarrass my parents."
"Okay, it's getting late. Since Jianguo wants to sell Ganoderma lucidum, he must leave early tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight." Liu Xuemei urged.
Shui Jianguo picked up his sister and said, "Then my sister will sleep with me tonight."
"Go, go, you brothers have the same virtues. I wonder if you can sleep with your sister after you get married?" Shui Shangqing waved helplessly.
Shui Bingyue covered her mouth and snickered, feeling distressed at being so popular.
When Shui Jianguo took his sister back to his room, they lay together on the kang and asked her in a low voice: "Bingyue, did you take me to pick Ganoderma lucidum on purpose?"
"No, it's my first time there. How could it be so great? It's my brother's good luck."
Shui Jianguo scratched his sister's nose: "You, every time I'm with you, my brother's luck is extremely good. How could I not know why?
A person's blessings are numerous. Don't harm your own blessings just to help your brothers. "
Shui Bingyue threw herself into her brother's arms, nuzzled her affectionately, and said with a smile: "Brother, your love is my greatest blessing. There is no happier little girl than me in this whole village."
"Okay, go to bed, it's getting late." Shui Jianguo said no more, after all, his sister was still young.
The next morning, when his parents took his sister to work, Shui Jianguo rode his bicycle and went to find his classmate in the county with a backpack containing Ganoderma lucidum.
When the boy saw that it was Shui Jianguo who came to see him, he was very happy: "Why is Squad Leader Shui free to come to my place today?"
Shui Jianguo patted the backpack behind him: "Sedum, let's go in and talk."
"Okay, come with me to the inner room."
The two of them went to the backyard of the drug store together. Push aside the honeysuckle on top to reveal the blood ganoderma below.
That Sedum almost exclaimed: "Where did you get it? I haven't seen such a big Ganoderma for many years."
"Of course it's deep in the mountains and old forests."
"Hey, it's me who doesn't follow the rules. I shouldn't ask. I can give you 800 for this Ganoderma lucidum. Do you think so?"
Shui Jianguo shook his head: "Jingtian, you are also stingy now. In this case, I might as well go to the state-owned pharmacy."
"No, let me take a good look at the year and then discuss the price."
After not seeing each other for a few years, the former classmate turned into a cunning person, but Shui Jianguo was still very knowledgeable about medicinal materials, so he naturally knew that the price he offered was low.
After all, ordinary people, people who don’t understand, think eight hundred is enough. But this Ganoderma lucidum has been rare for hundreds of years, not to mention that this Ganoderma lucidum is half a meter in diameter and can be divided into many pieces.
Jingtian finally offered a price of one thousand yuan, and Shui Jianguo agreed and sold Ganoderma lucidum to him.
"Jianguo, if there is good medicine in the future, just send it here, I will definitely give you a suitable price." Sedum's chubby face turned into a flower with a smile.
"Okay, I'll definitely come if I can."
Shui Jianguo took the money and deposited it directly into the bank and into his bankbook. I went to the state-owned store to buy biscuits and then returned to the village.
Pick up my sister at the end of the field and go home together. Shui Shangqing looked at the crowd and said nothing. After returning home at noon and finishing lunch, he called the boss into the bedroom for questioning.
"Jianguo, why are you running back again? Don't you feel tired?"
"I want to keep my bankbook at home. I'm still living in a dormitory. It's crowded and unsafe."
"Yes, how much did you sell?"
"One thousand yuan, all saved."
Shui Shangqing nodded: "This is all luck. Otherwise, according to the current salary level, it would take five or six years of not eating or drinking to save."
"Yes, I understand. I still have to work hard in the days to come. This is the most stable way."
"Then are you leaving tonight or tomorrow morning? I think it's better to go as early as possible instead of late."
