Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Xu Ming!"

As soon as Xu Ming came out of the hydropower station office building, he ran into Geng Yihong who was coming out of the staff building.

"Why don't you come to my house and sit down when you come to the power station?"

Xu Ming stood under the shade of the tree, smiling as he watched Geng Yihong run towards him. "I just finished my business and was about to send my brother back to the guesthouse, and I just happened to run into you."

Geng Yihong looked at Gu Jiu and asked, "Who is this?"

Xu Ming introduced her, "This is my brother Gu Jiu. He came with me to play with you this time."

Geng Yihong generously extended his right hand to Gu Jiu, "Hello, Comrade Gu, welcome to the power station. Our power station was built in 42.6, with an installed capacity of 2.2 megawatts and an annual power generation of million kilowatts. The dam area has complete living and entertainment facilities. I hope you have fun this time!"

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow at Xu Ming and shook his hand politely. "Hello, sister-in-law. I followed Xu Ming here this time. He came here mainly to see you and to do some business. I am just an insignificant person. You don't have to care about me. Just get along well with each other."

"Pfft!"

Geng Yihong had never seen such a humorous and straightforward way of speaking before, and couldn't help laughing, "Comrade Gu, don't talk nonsense. Xu Ming came here mainly for work, and he came to see me. Since you are Xu Ming's brother, I will naturally entertain you well when you come to the power station."

"Yihong, who is your partner?"

At this time, Su Xue, who was walking slowly behind, looked at the two men in front of Geng Yihong with a smile.

"Oh, let me introduce him to you." Geng Yihong took Xu Ming's hand and said with a smile: "This is my boyfriend Xu Ming, and he is Xu Ming's brother Comrade Gu."

"Xu Ming, Comrade Gu, this is my aunt's daughter, my cousin Su Xue, who happened to be visiting my home these days."

Xu Ming nodded to her: "Yihong, cousin, you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll take my brother back to the guesthouse first."

Gu Jiu raised his hand to stop him: "It's only a few steps from here to the guesthouse. It's broad daylight, and I, a grown man, won't disappear. I think you should stay here with your sister-in-law, and I'll go back by myself."

Geng Yihong noticed that Xu Ming was a little embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "I think this is how it should be. We are fine now anyway, why don't we send Comrade Gu back to the guesthouse together?"

Xu Ming originally wanted to send Gu Jiu back to the guesthouse and pick up the gifts he brought from the county town. After all, he couldn't go to his girlfriend's house empty-handed.

"Okay then." Xu Ming.

"No need!" Gu Jiu frowned slightly. What a joke. He, a grown man, still needs a woman to give him a gift?

Xu Ming didn't care whether he was willing or not. He just put his arm around his shoulders and walked out.

"Hey! Xu Ming, you don't want this hand, right? I told you not to give it to me, are you planning to go against me?"

"Xiao Jiu, it's rare that my partner wants to send you off, can you please give me some face?"

"Is this a matter of face?" Gu Jiu shook off his hand on his shoulder, "Take your hand away, don't you have any self-awareness? You are not as tall as me, yet you want to put your hand on my shoulder?"

Xu Ming was thrown away, but he didn't care. He joked, "Boy, I think we can't continue as brothers."

"If you don't want to do it, then don't do it. Do you think I care?" Gu Yi sneered.

Geng Yihong followed behind him, covering his mouth and laughing, "Comrade Gu, if you say something to him again, I think he will take it seriously, and then you will lose him as a brother!"

Gu Jiu laughed after hearing this: "Sister-in-law, this man is so stingy, why did you fall for him in the first place?"

Geng Yihong tilted his head and thought for a while, then chuckled and said, "In fact, he also has his merits. He is a warm-hearted person, and his personality matches mine. It's not boring for the two of us to be together.

If you find a man who can't fart for a long time, the rest of your life will be a nightmare!"

Xu Ming snorted coldly at Gu Jiu and said proudly, "Haha, my girlfriend is still good at judging!"

Gu Jiu shifted his gaze to the side. This man's smugness was simply unbearable to watch.

......

They fell into the water in the morning, and Lin Shu was worried that the children would catch a cold after being frightened and soaked in cold water.

But she really underestimated the physical condition of rural children at that time. The children came back, took a hot bath, drank a bowl of onion and ginger water, and took another nap.

After waking up, I am still full of energy.

In the afternoon, he actually clamored to go cut grass for pigs with Lin Shu. When the Lin family heard about what happened in the morning, they were also scared and agreed that the children should go out with Lin Shu in the afternoon.

Lin Shu had no way to refuse, and when he went out in the afternoon, he was followed by three more followers.

Except for the youngest Lin Xiaojun, everyone carried a backpack. In addition to the backpack sickle, Lin Shu also had a medicine hoe, which was more than the sisters Xiaoyu and Xiaoshuang.

This time, Lin Shu brought three children with him. He was afraid of encountering wild boars in the mountains, so he did not go to Daqing Mountain. Instead, he took the three children to several barren mountains far away from the village.

There are no weeds in the mountains, and knowledge is a treasure.

The barren mountains are not all filled with useless weeds. In fact, as long as you know them, weeds may also be important medicinal herbs.

As soon as they arrived at the foot of the barren mountain, the children discovered that there were a lot of fleabane growing on the wasteland at the foot of the mountain. The fleabane was very tender at this time of year and it was just right to cut it and use it as pig feed.

"Auntie, there's a lot of pig grass."

The three children ran towards the wasteland.

The youngest, Lin Xiaojun, was short and anxious to perform, so he accidentally tripped over some weeds and fell face first into the mud.

He sat up and spat out the grass debris in his mouth. "Pfft, luckily I didn't chew the mud."

I touched my front teeth again and fortunately they were still there.

When Lin Shu saw him fall, she thought he would cry, but she didn't expect that not only did he not cry, he also looked very relieved, which made her laugh and cry.

Lin Xiaoshuang also saw him touching his front teeth and said angrily, "Even if they didn't fall out this time, your front teeth will fall out sooner or later!"

"My front teeth will never fall out. I will never grow two rabbit-like front teeth like you." Lin Xiaojun gets angry with anyone who says that his front teeth will fall out.

Especially Lin Xiaoshuang, her front teeth that grew out were very big, and at first glance they really looked a bit like a rabbit's front teeth.

It just needs to wait until they grow up a little and their front teeth are more symmetrical with their heads before they look better.

But children don’t understand this. They think their replaced front teeth are particularly ugly.

Seeing that he dared to laugh at her, Lin Xiaoshuang's eyes widened with anger, "Don't be so arrogant, your front teeth will fall out sooner or later, if you don't believe me, ask my aunt."

Lin Shu glanced at Lin Xiaojun and said, "Oh, Xiaojun, there's a hole in your pants. You need to ask your mother to mend it for you when you get home tonight."

Lin Xiaojun looked down at his knee and said indifferently, "It's broken, so what? I don't need a patch anyway."

It would be strange if rural children of this era didn’t have patches on their clothes and pants.

"Aren't you afraid that your mother will beat you?" Lin Shu asked.

"Beat me if you want. I don't mind her beating me."

Seeing this calm guy, Lin Shu couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

For people with nimble hands and feet, cutting grass for pigs is not a hard job and can be done easily.

Several people cut most of the flying grass in the basket, and Lin Shu found that there were many mulberry trees growing on the slope of the barren mountain.

The plant is not big and has grown many new leaves.

The leaves of the mulberry tree can be used as good pig grass, and the mulberry tree also has medicinal value.

Its leaves, roots and seeds can all be used as medicine, especially the white sap secreted by the branches, which has the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying, reducing swelling, cooling blood, dispelling wind and relieving itching.
