Unexpectedly, when he opened his eyes, he saw Lin Han carrying a black bear and standing motionless at the gate of his yard, looking at him, which scared Uncle Wang to death.

Uncle Wang was lying on the rocking chair, and the height difference made Lin Han feel very oppressive.

He asked, "Lin Han, what do you want to talk to me about? And what's going on with this black bear?"

Lin Han was very happy to see that Uncle Wang had woken up (he didn't know that Uncle Wang hadn't slept at all). He felt that his luck today was extremely good and everything went well for him.

Lin Han said modestly, "Uncle Wang, this is the bear I hunted today. I came to you to ask you to take me to town in a bullock cart. I want to sell this black bear."

Although Uncle Wang guessed that this was the black bear hunted by Lin Han himself, it was just a guess and had not been confirmed.

Now hearing Lin Han say it himself, I couldn't help but feel respect and was impressed by how powerful young people are today.

As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Even though Uncle Wang admired Lin Han very much, he didn't want to go to town today. Now he had to make a trip for Lin Han, so the price would naturally be higher.

He didn't hide anything and spoke frankly to Lin Han: "Lin Han, you can see that I don't plan to go out today.

But we are from the same village after all. For the sake of being from the same village, I am willing to make a trip for you.

But the fare is several times higher than usual, think carefully and decide whether you still want to go."

Of course Lin Han had to go. He understood what Uncle Wang said very well. Just like in modern times, expedited items are more expensive than ordinary items.

So after Uncle Wang finished speaking, Lin Han nodded and agreed without any hesitation.

Lin Han: "Master, I know. I understand what you mean. I had already thought about it before I came to you. I plan to pay you a hundred coins to take me to the town."

When he heard the price of one hundred wen, Uncle Wang was really shocked. You know, at most he would carry seven people at a time, and each person would get six wen, which means a round trip would be forty-two wen.

Of course, he can't pick up seven people every day. The fare is not expensive, but it is definitely not cheap either.

Now Lin Han is ready to pay him a hundred coins, which is more than what he earns by driving people for two days.

To be honest, he really wanted to agree, but that wasn't the way he was supposed to be. So after some inner struggles, Uncle Wang decided to tell Lin Han how much he would charge for the fare.

Uncle Wang felt a little sad when he thought that the sixty-eight cents did not belong to him.

He sighed and said, "Lin Han, you gave too much. When I said the travel expenses would be multiplied several times, I meant multiplied based on you alone.

It's like you rented my ox cart today. At most, I can carry seven people per trip, so the total fare is 42 wen. You only need to give me 42 wen."

Lin Han heard a hint of heartache in Uncle Wang's tone. He didn't expect Uncle Wang to be so honest, and he began to respect Uncle Wang a little more in his heart.

Lin Han smiled and said: "It's okay, uncle, this extra money is my compensation to you.

You had no plans to go to town today. If I hadn't bothered you, you could have spent the whole afternoon relaxing in the rocking chair in this yard, basking in the sun."

After saying that, Uncle Wang no longer had anything to be reluctant about, and quickly rejected Lin Han: "Oh, you have too much money and don't know where to spend it, right?

Even if I have to give you compensation, four or five cents would be enough. Why would I need so much? No, I can't accept it."

Lin Han really didn't expect that even after he said that, Uncle Wang still wanted to refuse, so he had to say again: "Uncle, please accept it, otherwise I won't have the face to let you take me to the town.

Your ox cart is specially used to carry people. If it carries my bear, it must be cleaned before it can continue to carry people.

Washing the oxcart is laborious, and it needs to be dried after washing. With the temperature these days, it will take a day even if you hurry, so please accept it."

Uncle Wang saw that Lin Han had a tough attitude, and besides, he didn't force Lin Han to give him the money, so he had to agree.

Lin Han took out a hundred coins and gave them to Uncle Wang. Uncle Wang stood up, took the coins, and put the money in his pocket.

He said to Lin Han: "Okay, come with me and help me load the ox cart."

Lin Han: “Okay.”

This morning, when Grandpa Wang went out to pay homage to his ancestors and visit their graves, he took the cow with him. The cow only came back after eating its fill on the mountain. It is only the afternoon now.

This is not very accurate. It is only two o'clock in the afternoon. The cow's stomach is still full and it is full of energy.

When Uncle Wang and Lin Han arrived at the cowshed, the cow was lying on the ground and sleeping soundly. Uncle Wang opened the door and entered the cowshed to wake the cow up.

Looking at Niu Qingche's innocent big eyes, Lin Han felt a rare sense of guilt in his heart.

If it weren't for him, Niu would still be sleeping soundly in his nap at this moment, but this trace of guilt soon disappeared.

Uncle Wang led the cow out and pulled it to the ox cart, and asked Lin Han to help him install the ox reins. Soon the ox cart was loaded.

Lin Han carried the black bear over and put it on the ox cart, then got on the ox cart and they set off.

Along the way, many people looked at them, or to be more precise, at Lin Han and the black bear beside him.

Looking at their backs as they left, everyone was talking about it.

Zhou Xiang, who was carrying a hoe, saw Lin Han leaving and was filled with emotion. He said to his younger brother Zhou Jian, "Brother, look at Lin Han. He is really amazing."

However, eight-year-old Zhou Jian was very envious of Lin Han. He looked up at Zhou Xiang and asked, "Brother, can I grow as tall as you in the future?"

Zhou Xiang thought of his own height when he was eight years old, and then looked at his younger brother who was shorter than his peers.

He didn't know whether he should tell his younger brother the truth. Finally, he decided to tell him a white lie: "Of course, as long as you eat more, you will be as tall as Lin Han in the future."

At this moment, Zhou Jian was still a child who trusted his brother wholeheartedly, and he believed whatever Zhou Xiang said.

Hearing Zhou Xiang say this, he jumped up with joy: "That's great, big brother, Brother Lin Han is so amazing. Will I be as amazing as Brother Lin Han when I grow up?"

Zhou Xiang felt like there was something stuck in his throat: Even I, your elder brother, am not as good as Lin Han, let alone you.

Zhou Xiang didn't want to undermine Zhou Jian's self-confidence, so he had to speak against his conscience and force a smile on his face which was bronzed by the sun.

Said: "Of course, as long as you eat more in the future, you will be as powerful as Lin Han."

This is how Zhou Xiang grew up, and probably many people in Xinghua Village grew up this way, so he believed that as long as he ate more and worked properly, he would grow strong.

Zhou Jian was obsessed with becoming stronger. When his mother was pregnant with him, there was a drought that happened only once in decades.

Food production has dropped significantly, and every household does not have enough food to eat, and life is very tight.

Zhou Jian did not get enough nutrition while in the womb, and was born with congenital deficiencies. He was weak and sickly and ate little.

Zhou Xiang was worried that his younger brother, who was ten years younger than him, would not grow up. Fortunately, he had grown up after all the bumps and bruises over the years.
