Rebirth 1979: Hunting wild boars and saving educated youth

After hearing Chen Feng's words, the villagers gathered together and started talking.

"Get rich? Who doesn't have this idea in mind? But the key is, can it be done?" said a villager, scratching his head.

"We all know that the current policy encourages us to get rich. It's not like before when we were divided into poor, middle and rich peasants. If you have a bad background, everything will be affected." Another villager said.

"Yeah, the radio said that we should let some people get rich first."

"Who doesn't want to live a good life? But the question is, is it reliable to follow Chen Feng?"

The villagers looked at Chen Feng's half-brick house and wondered in their hearts.

In this village, apart from Chen Feng, it seems that no one else can lead everyone to wealth.

The house he built is a living example!

"Xiaofeng, tell me, what are you going to do with us?" asked the middle-aged man with half black and half white hair and wearing old pants.

Chen Feng smiled when he heard this, turned around and went back into the house. A moment later, he came out with a box in his hand. "Everyone, come and see, this is my wealth-making project - Phnom Penh Dollar!"

He opened the box and showed everyone the bugs inside.

When the villagers saw it, they were all stunned.

"My plan to get rich is to raise these insects..."

Chen Feng talked freely, while the villagers looked at each other in confusion.

Get rich by raising insects?

They have never heard of this!

"Will this...will this work?" a villager asked hesitantly.

"Don't worry, just listen to me." Chen Feng smiled and reassured everyone, "You guys can raise these bugs, and I'll take them. If you're worried, I can give you a deposit first."

As he spoke, Chen Feng actually pulled out a handful of banknotes from his pocket. The villagers were stunned when they saw it. This... is this true?

The villagers had never seen so much money these days, and it looked very tempting in Chen Feng's hands!

"Chen Feng, are you serious?" the middle-aged man asked again.

"Of course I'm serious! What I, Chen Feng, say always counts!" Chen Feng patted his chest and guaranteed.

The villagers looked at each other, all at a loss.

Getting rich by raising insects sounds too mysterious.

But looking at Chen Feng's confident look and the money in his hand, everyone was tempted again.

For a moment, the villagers were very hesitant. If they agreed to Chen Feng now, what if the insects died?

"Raising insects? This is really a new thing." A villager scratched his head.

"Yes, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, how could we know these things?" The uncle next to him also responded with some concern in his eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Feng calmly pulled out a booklet from his pocket and opened it to show everyone: "These golden-edged yuan are not ordinary insects. They are a kind of traditional Chinese medicine that can cure diseases and save lives. I have been studying them for some time and I am confident that I can raise them well."

The villagers gathered around and looked down at the pictures and descriptions in the booklet, their expressions gradually changing from doubt to thought.

"Well...is this insect easy to raise? What if it can't survive?" a woman asked cautiously.

"Don't worry, I will teach you how to raise them, and I will provide the technology and feed in the early stages to ensure that everyone can get started." Chen Feng's tone was firm, his eyes full of sincerity.

"Then...how do we divide the money we earn?" another villager raised the key question.

"It's simple. We distribute according to work. The more you raise, the more you earn. I will be responsible for purchasing and ensure that it is not lower than the contract price. I can also pay a deposit in advance to make everyone feel at ease." Chen Feng said, and took out a stack of written contract samples from his pocket and handed them to everyone to read.

Many villagers were illiterate and could not understand the contract, so they asked literate villagers to help read it. It took a long time before everyone finally understood the contents of the contract.

Seeing the time was right, Chen Feng said, "If you want to raise them, sign up now. I'll pay the deposit right away. Once the insects are mature and you deliver them, I'll settle the balance."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone raised a question: "Chen Feng, what if someone takes the money but doesn't work?"

Chen Feng smiled and replied, "We are all from the same village. If someone really does this, then I, Chen Feng, will take it as a loss for once. But from now on, I will have nothing to do with him. Seeing him get rich, he will naturally regret it. When that happens, even if he begs me, I will not give him a good face. Let me make this clear."

After hearing this, the villagers hesitated for a while.

Chen Feng didn't urge him, but stood on the threshold, waiting with money in his hand.

Soon, a young man stood up and walked up to Chen Feng: "Brother Feng, I want to work with you!"

Chen Feng took out a notebook, wrote down his name, and asked him to press his fingerprints. Then he handed him two hundred yuan and patted him on the shoulder. "Hongtie, I'll tell you where to catch insects in the mountains later. You can catch the adults directly or raise them yourself. I'll go to your house tomorrow to teach you."

The young man's name was Ma Hongtie. His hands were shaking after he took the money.

They were all Great Unity notes, each worth ten yuan, a total of twenty. Ma Hongtie never thought that one day he would have so much money in his hands.

Even a grown man was choking up at this moment.

Chen Feng could understand Ma Hongtie. His father had injured his leg while repairing a canal two years ago, and the family situation was very bad.

"Hongtie, have some ambition. Two hundred yuan is nothing. You can earn more in the future. Take your father to see a doctor. There are many good places, in the city, province, and even in Beijing. If you have money, you can get good doctors."

Ma Hongtie wiped away his tears and said firmly, "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely raise the insect well! From now on, this gold-edged dollar will be my ancestor!"

Chen Feng was left in a state of confusion, "Go to hell."

Once Ma Hongtie took the lead, other villagers also rushed forward.

When they saw the money in Ma Hongtie's hand, their eyes turned red.

In this way, the villagers reached an agreement with Chen Feng one after another and received the deposit.

Chen Feng's traditional Chinese medicine wealth-making project started smoothly.

Ning Yao hid behind the door, his eyes pressed against the crack, looking at Chen Feng standing on the threshold outside, his heart beating like a drum.

She felt that Chen Fengying was tall and straight at this moment, just like Paul in "How the Steel Was Tempered", with a sense of determination all over his body.

His voice was not loud, but every word he spoke was powerful and every decision he made seemed so decisive.

Ning Yao thought of Gao Juehui in "Family Chronicles" again.

In that rotten mansion, he was the first to wake up, the most daring to confront his family, and finally, he decisively broke with the old world and plunged into the storms and waves outside.

In her eyes, Chen Feng in front of her is the leader who bravely moves forward and jumps into the tide of the new society without hesitation.

In addition to gratitude, Ning Yao also felt an indescribable admiration and even a faint sense of worship.

The thoughts in her mind began to become clear.
