Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

"What kind of reward do you want?" the old squad leader asked with a smile.

As for rewards, there definitely are.

There are corresponding rewards for capturing serious criminals.

But he still wanted to hear what the young man in front of him had to say.

He wouldn't recommend helping with a small favor unless the request was excessive.

"Hehe! It's nothing really!" Li Mu laughed a little embarrassedly, and then told her about how he was chased by the market management officers when he set up a stall at the market.

"I just want to get a business license, but I don't know how. So, could you change the reward to this instead?"

Li Mu looked at the old squad leader with anticipation.

As for the business license, he certainly knew how to get one.

However, the current management is quite strict, and it's not something that can be done in a day or two if you want to get through the layers of review.

But when it came to asking for favors, he really didn't know anyone.

"It's simple, but the business you're running must comply with the rules. Otherwise, even if I can help, I won't be able to do much."

Li Mu's request wasn't unreasonable; it was just a matter of him making a phone call to his old comrade-in-arms to get a business license.

It's the necessary procedure, and it definitely needs to be followed.

"No problem, I just want to sell some local delicacies, I will definitely not cheat you," Li Mu said with a smile.

Once this matter is resolved, his future path will be much easier.

Just as Li Mu was busy being happy, Zhou Chunhua, who was standing behind him, suddenly asked timidly, "Excuse me, may I make a phone call home first?"

"Sure!" the old squad leader said, making room for Zhou Chunhua.

It's good that he can make phone calls now; there's only one phone on his desk.

"Thank you!" Zhou Chunhua said gratefully, then quickly walked to the phone, picked it up, and made a call.

Seeing that there was nothing more for him to do here, Li Mu said to the old squad leader and Gao Ga Zi, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now! I haven't even been to the hospital yet."

He turned and left the inspection team.

When Li Mu left the inspection team, it was already so dark that he couldn't see his hand in front of his face. Fortunately, the inspection team had plenty of flashlights and lent him one.

Holding a flashlight, he walked quickly toward the hospital.

Meanwhile, in the hospital, Li Ergou, lying on his hospital bed, looked worried.

"With so much money, when will I ever be able to earn enough to pay Brother Mu back!"

"Why are you thinking so much! Brother Mu is not going to urge you to pay back the money, is he?" Tian Xiaohu said, yawning as he lay on the empty hospital bed on the other side.

Ever since Li Ergou found out that the hospital stay cost more than sixty yuan, he hasn't stopped talking.

They keep saying the same things, and I'm worried I won't be able to pay back the money.

“That’s over sixty yuan! Not six mao or six yuan.” As Li Ergou said this, he couldn’t help but reach up and grab his hair.

"Oh! You're overthinking it. Sixty yuan, you can earn that by going fishing with Brother Mu a few times," Tian Xiaohu said nonchalantly.

Contrary to what Brother Mu said about helping him make money, he now has three hundred yuan in the bank.

If he saves up the money a little longer, he can build a new house and get married.

The more Tian Xiaohu thought about it, the happier he felt.

But for Li Ergou, who had been fishing with Lao Xie for several days, making money by fishing was simply not feasible.

No matter how good Li Mu is to them, he can't pay them to go fishing.

Thinking this, Li Ergou couldn't help but feel so worried that his eyes turned red.

Just then, the ward door was suddenly pushed open.

Tian Xiaohu turned his head and immediately jumped out of bed.

"Brother Mu! What brings you here?"

"I've come to see Er Gou." Li Mu said with a smile, and walked up to Li Er Gou. Before Er Gou could speak, he said, "The money will definitely be repaid. You'll come up the mountain with me after the New Year."

"There are many ways to make money, such as hunting rabbits and catching pheasants, and picking wood ear mushrooms and hazel mushrooms along the way."

"If you work hard for me, I guarantee you'll be able to pay back the money in a couple of weeks, or at least three to five days."

As soon as Li Mu said this, Li Ergou was so shocked that his eyes widened.

"Brother Mu, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true! When have I, Li Mu, ever lied?" Li Mu smiled slightly, turned around and walked to Tian Xiaohu's bedside.

"Move over there, I'm exhausted and sleepy after running around all day, let me lie down for a bit."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiaohu quickly stood up and offered the warm bed to Li Mu. He then turned and went to the empty bed opposite him, where he lay down.

When he turned around, he wanted to say a few more words to Li Mu.

Li Mu had already closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

Li Ergou also made a "shh" gesture at him.

Li Mu slept soundly through the night without any dreams.

After getting up and having a quick breakfast, he decided to go back to the village.

He wanted to make some more money during these last few days before the New Year.

Although he earned more than two thousand yuan from selling wild ginseng to the army after bringing it out of the mountains last time.

But this money... is not even a fraction of the amount he wants to earn.

Before Li Mu even left the hospital entrance, someone coming from the opposite direction called out to him.

"Li Mu!"

Zhou Chunhua called out Li Mu's name and walked quickly towards him. Behind her followed closely a middle-aged man.

Upon closer inspection, Li Mu realized that this person was someone he knew.

"You know Zhou Chunhua, Uncle."

When the two approached him, Li Mu greeted them with a smile.

"You know my brother-in-law?" Zhou Chunhua asked with some surprise, turning to look at the middle-aged man beside her.

The middle-aged man smiled and pushed up his glasses. Before Li Mu could speak, he said to Zhou Chunhua, "He's the young man who can fish and catch rabbits."

It turned out that the middle-aged man was none other than the son of the old lady Liu who had recently shared a hospital room with the old lady Gao.

Although Li Mu didn't know his surname or what he did, he was fortunate to have a good memory and could remember the man's face after seeing him only once.

"So it was you! What a coincidence! Now my brother-in-law doesn't have to worry about you not being able to deliver the goods," Zhou Chunhua said with a smile.

Li Mu was completely baffled by what he had just said.

"Goods? What goods?"

Seeing Li Mu's puzzled look, the middle-aged man quickly explained, "It's like this! My surname is Zou. I used to work at the supply and marketing cooperative, and I was just transferred to the purchasing station as the station manager yesterday."

Purchasing station! Zou Ming.

That's not the future model for city-level business management.

Upon hearing the name of this place, Li Mu's eyes widened instantly. "So, Uncle, you're in charge of procurement! Do you buy things like wood ear mushrooms and hazelnuts there?"

"We'll take them! We buy all kinds of wild delicacies from our area," Zou Ming quickly replied.

Seeing Li Mu's delighted expression, he immediately asked, "I heard from Chunhua that you want to apply for a business license to sell wild delicacies from the mountains. Do you have any goods on hand right now?"

"Yes, I do! If you want it, I can deliver it to you this afternoon, quality guaranteed," Li Mu replied hastily.

This is an opportunity that has been delivered to his doorstep; he must seize it.
