Back to 1978: Getting rich starts with treasure hunting

"Gangzi went to work? How could he just go to work like that? He didn't even say hello to us uncles and aunts when he came back." Hearing that he had left, Li Xiu was disappointed.

Liu Xiao'e was so angry after hearing this that she said angrily, "I'm telling you, don't forget that I'm his mother!"

Sure enough, his second aunt really had her eyes on Gangzi's position as a formal employee.

Lin Dahe took out some tobacco, rolled a cigarette, and held it between his fingers: "It seems that Gangzi is really recruiting to work in the company."

Lin Dashan didn't want to deny it: "It's true."

"Who helped?"

Lin Dashan and his wife looked at each other, and he sighed: "It's Jiu Ge'er's friend."

"How could you be bribed by a recruitment quota? Ninth brother wants to marry our daughter, so at least two quotas must be obtained. Also, why didn't you discuss such an important matter with eldest brother and sister-in-law before making the decision? Maybe you can get one more quota by discussing it with us." Li Xiu was dissatisfied and thought that the eldest family was simply stupid and would not raise the price.

Liu Xiao'e frowned, "What does the recruitment quota have to do with our daughter's marriage? Ninth brother is helping because he feels sorry for his third brother who can't bear the hardship of working at home. Why should he discuss it with you and then watch you raise the price?"

Li Xiu: "If he wants to marry our girl, he should lower his posture. Why is it wrong to ask for more benefits before the marriage while he is interested in Lin Shu?"

Lin Shu walked out of the bedroom at this time. He had eaten and wanted to take a nap, but he didn't expect his second uncle and his wife to come.

After listening to Li Xiu's words, it really destroyed my worldview.

"Second Aunt, Mei Zi hasn't gotten married yet. How many benefits did you ask for from the Jie family before the marriage?"

Li Xiu choked: "How can you be like Mei Zi? Mei Zi is already engaged, but you are not engaged, so you can ask for more benefits."

"Oh, then may I ask, how many benefits did you ask for from the Jie family before Mei Zi got engaged? Why haven't you told us about it? And did Jie Chunlei come to say hello to my parents? It's wrong for you to exclude us like this." Lin Shu returned her words to her.

"I..." Li Xiu was blocked and didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Lin Dahe coughed lightly, "Ahem, youngest, we have no other intentions in coming here. We just come here as a family to show our concern. Your second aunt doesn't know how to talk, so ignore her. Gangzi is proud of the fact that he can work in the unit and eat the state-funded food."

Lin Dashan agreed in his heart. After all, it was a great joy for the younger generation of the Lin family to leave the countryside.

Lin Dahe said as he looked at Lin Dashan: "Brother, I came here first to confirm the situation, and second to congratulate Gangzi."

As he spoke, he took out a red envelope made of red paper from his pocket and stuffed it into Lin Dashan's hand: "The money is not much, but it is a token of my gratitude as your uncle. Congratulations to our Gangzi for leaving the countryside and having a bright future. When you have established yourself outside, don't forget that you still have brothers in your hometown. We can support each other in difficult times."

Lin Dashan did not object to this, "We are all from the same roots. When the brothers encounter opportunities outside in the future, they will definitely support their own brothers first. You can rest assured about this."

Li Xiu knew that this time there was no chance, and after hearing Lin Dashan's promise, she felt much better, so she stopped making trouble. Instead, she asked Liu Xiaoe about Lin Shu's marriage. She heard that the Gu family would come to make a betrothal in August, and although she said congratulations, she still felt a little sour in her heart.

As August approaches, the autumn heat has basically passed and the temperature difference between morning and evening has increased, especially in rural areas.

The rice in the fields has been filled with pulp and will slowly mature and turn yellow in the coming days.

A good harvest is in sight and the team leader is very happy. In the past few days, he has started to organize villagers to plant winter vegetables such as cabbage and radishes.

The peanut fields that were harvested in July are now free, just in time to plant winter vegetables. After digging sweet potatoes later, another wave of winter vegetables can be planted. With two waves, the villagers will basically not lack vegetables throughout the winter.

After planting cabbage and radishes in the peanut field, you can rest for two days.

The Lin family can just prepare to entertain guests on the engagement day.

Liu Xiao'e soaked ten kilograms of beans and planned to make a few boxes of tofu in the next two days to add a dish on the day of the engagement.

There were no meat coupons at home, and he couldn't exchange them for any on the black market, so Lin Shu took a hoe and a hatchet and went into the mountains.

The engagement ceremony won't be a big one, just inviting immediate relatives in the village, maybe two or three tables of guests, and at least a few pounds of meat will have to be prepared, otherwise the dishes won't be cooked.

Lin Shu went straight into the mountains and made no less than twenty sets on the lush hillside.

After the condoms here were ready, Lin Shu returned along the same route she came from, because when she came in, she found several places with Polygonatum sibiricum seedlings and several places with wild yam vines.

It was a rare opportunity to go into the mountains today, so she thought that before going to collect the condoms in the afternoon, she would take a walk in the mountains and dig more herbs.

I didn't go into the mountains much this summer, and the herbs I dug were the common herbs found in wastelands on the roadside. Although I made some money, it was not as quick as going into the mountains to dig precious herbs.

She harvested countless summer cypresses, motherwort, pinellia, mugwort, etc. and only earned more than 1,200 yuan.

Adding the previous money, the system balance is less than six thousand.

After digging out a piece of Polygonatum, Lin Shu found several animal bones at the bottom of the slope. She was shocked. She walked down and looked carefully for a long time, but still couldn't tell what kind of animal it was.

[System, what animal's bone is this? ]

[Reporting to the host, after system analysis, it turns out to be a goat bone.]

[Why are there goat bones in the mountains? Do you think a thief stole a goat from a village and brought it to the mountains to eat?]

The system did not answer her. After a long time, it spoke: [Host, three meters away from you, there is a triangular-headed venomous snake staring at you vigilantly.]

[Ah!] Lin Shu was startled. Just as she climbed up the slope, the system told her that there was a poisonous snake staring at her from three meters away.

She looked around carefully, but couldn't see any snakes. [System, can you tell me which direction it is? What kind of venomous snake is it?]

[In front of you on the left, there is a chrome head as thick as an arm looking up at you. It is recommended that the host slowly evacuate to the right. ]

【hiss! 】

Lin Shu took a deep breath. The chrome iron head is a large and extremely venomous snake, also known as the white-tailed snake, rare snake, small green dragon, etc. It belongs to the Viperidae family and is an extremely large and extremely venomous snake second only to the king cobra.

In their village, this kind of snake is so terrifying that people turn pale at the mention of it.

This kind of snake is colorful and hides in the grass, making it difficult for the human eye to spot it. No wonder she didn't find it, but Lin Shu believed in the system and didn't dare to stay any longer, and evacuated directly to the right.

After leaving the danger zone, the system prompted that it was safe, but Lin Shu was still frightened.

[Host, there are several Veratrum plants next to your feet. Veratrum plants are pungent, bitter, slightly warm, and highly toxic. The whole plant can be used as medicine. One yuan per plant.]

[This poison is also a medicinal herb? 】

Lin Shu was secretly annoyed. He was going to have to fight a highly poisonous species today. He had just escaped from a poisonous snake, and now there were poisonous herbs.

[Back to the host, the animals and plants in nature complement and counteract each other. Veratrum contains veratridine, and the main chemical components of veratridine are servadine and veratridine flat needle crystals, which are natural herbal insecticides. ]

After confirming with the system that it was safe here, he squatted down and started digging with peace of mind.

[Host, there is a four-leaf ginseng not far ahead, there is a fungus growing three meters to the right, and there are several Polygonatum odoratum ten meters to the right front...]

[Stop!] Lin Shu dug up a few Veratrum plants and sold them to the system for 9 yuan.

She stood up and first looked to her right. Wood ear mushrooms are a good thing. She was just worrying about the dishes for the day after tomorrow.

A half dead tree, covered with fungus, and the latter is the more precious sheep tripe fungus.

“Haha…I’m rich!”

The weather is not hot, and there is nothing more fulfilling than going into the mountains. Once in the mountains, one feels at ease because the entire mountain is like a gold mine, just waiting for her to discover.

[Host, the sheep's ear is also known as pearl fungus, golden in color, these are of high quality, 5 yuan per pound. ]

[No, I'm going to pick these to entertain guests the day after tomorrow.] Lin Shu shook his head as he picked them.

What a joke! It's so rare to come across such good lamb tripe ears, how could I possibly sell them.
