Leisurely mountain village

Chapter 12 Little Friends

Sure enough, the next day, just as Ye Huan's father delivered the goods, Manager Du heard from her subordinates that Ye Huan had sent over a basket of peaches for free, so she came over. After tasting them, she understood.

He called Ye Huan directly: "Peaches are like vegetables, a six-month contract, you name your price."

"There aren't many, really. There are only about ten peach trees right now, and only about a hundred peaches a day. So, how many I bring you each day depends on the specifics. I've checked them myself; the peaches are all about the same size. They're 50 yuan each," Ye Huan said with a smile.

"I planted the watermelons and strawberries late, but they should be ready by next month."

Manager Du looked at the peaches in the basket. They were indeed all about the same size, each weighing about half a pound. At 50 yuan each, she could accept the price.

There are many expensive fruits on the market now, and they have seen outrageous prices. Looking at the peaches they had eaten, she felt that 50 yuan a piece was basically a fair price.

“Okay, bring them as soon as they come into season. They’re more suitable for fruit platters than this one.” Manager Du nodded.

"Okay, we'll talk about the price later. I don't know what these watermelons will look like right now." He only knew that some of the watermelons in the field already weighed ten or twenty pounds, but they weren't ripe yet.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Huan smiled. Another source of income. A hundred or so a day would be several thousand yuan. Add the vegetables, and the daily income would be over ten thousand. What more could you ask for?

"I laugh triumphantly, laugh triumphantly again~~" Ye Huan sang as he walked, while Saihu looked at his little master in confusion. What's going on?

"Saihu, when is your wife going to give birth?"

"Woof~" How would I know? I didn't even know when I got pregnant. Saihu thought to himself!

"Holy crap, it's not yours, is it?" Ye Huan laughed.

"Woof woof~~" Please, have some decency, Saihu despises its owner.

"Haha, I was just kidding. Look how angry you are."

"Woof~" Too lazy to pay attention to you, Saihu led the way, and the man, the dog and the wolf arrived at a river where mountain springs converged in the village.

Several teenagers were playing in the water below. Ye Huan told them to be careful and then went to sit down in a shady spot. He was there to fish and relax; this was the right way to experience life back in the village.

He set up his fishing rod, filmed a video, edited it, and uploaded it. To his surprise, he now has over 5 followers, which is something he never expected. All he does every day is film some videos of the mountains and fields.

He looked through the videos of his previous trip into the mountains, the one where he rescued the little white wolf. It had over 20 likes and over 5 comments, so he casually clicked on it to read the comments.

"Beautiful mountain village scenery~"

"It's a very deep mountain forest, just like my hometown, Shennongjia."

"Holy crap, was that a wolf just now? Is the blogger done for?"

"That's incredible! The Blue Wolf went to him to save his child?"

"The little white wolf is so cute..."

Ye Huan smiled slightly, as long as it works.

The most comments were about the little white wolf and his son.

Picking up Xiaobai and sitting her up, Saihu also lay down beside her, watching Ye Huan fish. Fishing is boring, and often you sit all day and end up empty-handed.

This was unacceptable to Ye Huan, especially after sitting for more than half an hour without catching a single fish. He became anxious and a pool of spiritual spring water appeared in his hand, which he then swirled by the river.

Before long, many fish, big and small, were seen walking into the net. "Haha~ If I could cheat, why would I sit there like an idiot for so long? Am I crazy?"

Use a net to scoop up the largest fish, and then after the spring disappears, the other fish also disappear.

Because of the mountain spring water, the fish in this river are not as big as one might imagine. The largest one, Ye Huan, is estimated to weigh more than three pounds. It is a snakehead fish. There are also two crucian carp, each weighing about one pound. They are considered relatively large fish in the group.

As for the last silver carp, he threw it back into the river. A silver carp weighs a little over a pound, so it's not considered a big fish. Besides, three fish should be enough for today's meal.

Simply shoot a video, caption it: "Reject the Air Force, starting with me!", and upload it.

"Saihu, Xiaobai, let's go home!" Carrying his little stool and fishing rod, he leisurely went home.

"Mom, we're having pickled fish for dinner!" She put the fish in a basin and went to watch the construction team work.

"Thank you for your hard work~" Ye Huan gave him a pack of cigarettes worth ten yuan each. He didn't care about such a small favor. As long as he did the job well, he didn't mind.

"Thank you, young boss!" the worker said with a beaming smile. This family was really generous; Ye Huan's father even came over every now and then to offer cigarettes.

Just as Ye Huan finished lunch and was about to take a nap out of boredom, Da Hu arrived home.

Looking at his childhood friend, who was 190cm tall and a size bigger than him, Ye Huan punched him in the chest, "You're strong enough~~"

"Brother Huan~~" Da Hu was shy in front of Ye Huan.

"Let's go for a walk." Ye Huan didn't sleep anymore, put on a coat, and went out with Da Hu.

Seeing the SUV in the open space by the gate, I thought, "Did you drive back? You're doing pretty well these days?"

"The boss specifically asked me to drive his car back because he heard I was coming back to see my grandpa. He said transferring would be too much trouble," Da Hu said.

"Open all night?"

"Yeah, pretty much. I slept for two hours at the service area in the early morning." Da Hu nodded.

"I haven't asked you what you do yet. Yesterday, your grandfather told me to persuade you to come back. I wanted to ask you what your thoughts are?" Ye Huan wouldn't go so far as to say something as pointless as, "Quit your job and come back to work for me."

Da Hu touched his nearly bald, stubble-like hair. "Brother Huan, my boss is a small-time developer. I work as his bodyguard and driver. It's not like what my grandpa said."

"This line of work involves a lot of favors, a lot of debts, and a lot of enemies, but I can handle all of that, and besides..."

Da Hu paused here, and Ye Huan nodded, signaling him to continue.

"Moreover, when I first met the boss, I was penniless and had been starving for two days without finding any work. The boss took me in and gave me food. Also, the year before last, my grandfather had a heart attack and needed 30 yuan to save his life. The boss gave it to me without saying a word. How can I repay him?"

Ye Huan really didn't know there were these things going on. If that's the case, then it's really not easy to leave. What kind of person would he be if he just left like this? Not to mention Da Hu himself, even Ye Huan couldn't accept it.

“You know how poor we were before, brother. If it weren’t for the boss, not to mention me, my grandfather would have been gone that time. Tell me, what do we kids from the mountains have to offer us besides our lives?” Da Hu took Ye Huan’s cigarette, lit it for Huan Ge, and then lit it for himself.

He took a deep breath and squatted down with Ye Huan, looking at their home in the distance. "Over the past few years, I've been sending some money back to my grandfather so he could renovate the house, but look at it now, it's still the same as it was ten years ago."

"Since that's the case, I won't say anything more to you. Just be careful and don't get carried away and kill someone. Whether you hurt someone or get hurt, it's not what your grandfather wants to see." Ye Huan nodded and took a puff of his cigarette.

He doesn't smoke often, isn't addicted, and doesn't mind smoking one occasionally.
