Baiyue Cave Master

Chapter 36 Situation in the Mountains

Wang Yuanchao was stunned by Aunt Taohua's shamelessness. She really scraped oil from chicken feet and picked meat from sheep horns, not leaving out a single bit.

Uncle Liu is a man after all, and it is meaningless to keep quarreling with a woman. Besides, Wang Yuanchao did say so just now.

So he opened the oil paper, took out a bun and handed it to Aunt Taohua, and then he took a bite of the other bun and started eating it with a crunchy sound.

Aunt Taohua got a bargain. After getting the bun, she stopped making trouble and took a bite of the bun while saying:

"Well, it's worthy of being a white flour meat bun, it's really delicious."

While watching the two people eating buns, Wang Yuanchao began to reflect on himself as he shouldn't have taken buns directly out of the space to feed Uncle Liu.

This bun was something Wang Yuanchao bought in Star City and put in the space, but he didn't finish eating it.

There is no source for this here, which is why Wang Yuanchao didn't dare to make a big fuss just now.

Because once a quarrel breaks out, I won’t be able to explain clearly where I bought the buns, and that will be a big trouble.

Wang Yuanchao felt a mixture of regret and relief. It seemed that he was not vigilant enough and did not consider things comprehensively enough. He felt that he had lived 60 years in vain in his previous life. He felt annoyed.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Taohua hadn't finished their buns when they heard another noise from the side of the ox cart.

"Oh, these educated youth from the city are rich. They have big iron pots and big aluminum pots.

Look, this basket is almost full. Let me see what you bought."

As he spoke, he was so eager to lift up the cotton that Wang Yuanchao had covered the bamboo basket with.

Wang Yuanchao had no intention of leniency, he slapped the old lady's hand with his backhand, knocking it off with a "pop". The pain was so severe that the old lady screamed out.

"How can you be like this? See if you can save a piece of meat. Why are you so stingy?"

Wang Yuanchao replied angrily:

"Auntie is not stingy. Come, let me check what you bought today.

Can I go to your house and see what good things you have there?"

The aunt looked at Wang Yuanchao with distorted features. She didn't expect that this fair and tender young educated youth would be so difficult to talk to.

How could this aunt know that Wang Yuanchao had just witnessed the fighting power of this aunt, so how could she dare to let anyone touch her things?

When the aunt saw Wang Yuanchao staring at her, she knew she would not get any advantage today, so she pushed the bamboo basket towards Wang Yuanchao, climbed onto the ox cart, hummed and sulked, and stopped talking.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after all the villagers had arrived, Grandpa Liu drove the ox cart towards the village.

Aunt Zhou was sitting on the rickety ox cart, and suddenly she asked Wang Yuanchao:

"Wang Zhiqing, I heard that you are planning to build a house in the village?"

Wang Yuanchao looked at Aunt Zhou in astonishment. He had just decided on this matter last night, but he had not expected the news to spread so quickly.

But this is not something that cannot be said. Wang Yuanchao did not hide it. He nodded and said:

"Aunt Zhou, yes, the construction has started today."

"A big brick and tile house?"

"Yes, it's a big brick and tile house."

"Hey, city people are rich. They can build a big brick and tile house at any time without any consideration."

"Auntie Zhou, this is also a good policy of the country. The country provides subsidies for us educated youth to go to the countryside to support rural construction.

Like me, if you sign up to go to the countryside, you will get a subsidy of 200 yuan.

Arrived in the village, there is also a year's food subsidy,

There is also this cotton, a total of five pounds, which can be purchased without a ticket. This is also a subsidy for educated youth.

I am the only child in my family and an orphan of a martyr. According to the policy, I do not need to go to the countryside.

But I am a revolutionary youth of the new era. In response to the call of the country, I signed up to go to the countryside to participate in the construction of the country's new countryside.

Since I took the initiative to sign up to go to the countryside, I must first integrate into the village.

That is why I used the government subsidy to build a house, actively integrated into the village, and contributed a little to the construction of a new countryside in our village."

Wang Yuanchao was so righteous that his words even made his blood boil.

But the aunties on the ox cart looked at Wang Yuanchao as if he were a fool. They gave up being a good city dweller and came to be a country dweller. Don’t they know how much country people want to become city dwellers and eat the government’s food?

Besides, there are educated youth camps in the village. Isn't such a big house enough for you to live in? Spending so much money to build a house in the village is really a waste of money. You don't know how to live.

This guy is really just good-looking, but he seems to have a broken brain and doesn't know how to live at all. If any woman marries him, she will probably be unlucky in the future.

Wang Yuanchao looked around and felt that these aunties were looking at him with pity, treating him as a fool who knew nothing. He couldn't help but feel happy.

"By the way, Aunt Zhou, do our village often have buyers from the city come to collect supplies?"

"Yes, there are many factories in the city. In the past, the people in our team were honest, and these buyers used normal prices to exchange the materials we had worked so hard to save for money.

After getting the benefits, these buyers come to our village every now and then.

But later we got smarter. These buyers don’t give us tickets for the in-demand materials, so we don’t allow them to exchange them anymore.

Our brigade has many mountains and abundant resources. During the great famine, our brigade relied on the mountains and no one starved to death.

Moreover, every household in the village can catch some prey every year, but many of our villagers are reluctant to eat the meat, and all of it is taken away by these cunning guys.

Now, except for some small animals like pheasants and rabbits occasionally, all other animals near the mountains of our team have been hunted out, and the wild animals dare not run near the mountains anymore.

If you want to hunt now, you need to go deep into the mountains. There are many poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts in the mountains. In recent years, many people in the village have died in the mountains for hunting.

Nowadays, apart from the hunting teams organized into the mountains before the New Year, generally no one in the village dares to go into the mountains to hunt.

In our village, except for the hunting team that goes into the mountains to hunt every year, it is difficult to hunt wild game at other times.

Now it is very difficult for us to exchange scarce materials with these buyers.”

When Wang Yuanchao heard this, he had some ideas in his mind. He could bring it up when he was drinking with the village party secretary and others in the evening.

Suddenly, Aunt Li Lihua said:

"Wang Zhiqing, the cotton in your basket is a good thing.

I wonder if I can exchange some of my things with you, what do you think?"

Wang Yuanchao is not short of cotton now. He has many new quilts and cotton clothes in his space.

If you are short of cotton and have space to grow it, you can get some cotton seeds and grow it yourself.

So Wang Yuanchao asked:

"Aunt Lihua, cotton is a life-saving material here. What do you plan to exchange with me?"
