Chapter 17 Dongshan Was Hollowed Out

More than a dozen and a half bags of rice noodles, a few packs of grilled steamed buns from Mizhuang Snack Street, and someone brought grilled eggplant and some green vegetables. Brother Jin wondered if there was something wrong with his eyesight, so he came to give gifts to thank these The person was the one who blocked the door and beat the second child.

I saw that they were all beaming, as if they had hit a big luck, and they didn't wear any of the previous burlap clothes, and changed into clean and shaken short shirts, and their shoes were replaced with thick soles.

"Sister, these are some small gifts, just accept them! We will dig wild ginseng according to the method you taught us, and we will make money!"

Lao Tie and a few villagers behind him said with a smile that they put down their things and left before exchanging a few pleasantries, happily preparing to go back to live a comfortable life with their wives and children on the kang.

Yin Bao sighed, shook his head with a smile, finally made some money, and these big brothers didn't say they were saving it, how could they spend so much?She lowered her eyes and picked up the back room brought by the old iron, and untied the red bag on the outside of the dishes, and a pair of delicate dishes lay quietly in front of her.

Delicate white glaze, delicate peony pattern, smooth and rounded edges, slightly flared, very detailed luster.It is perfect for serving as a dish for the ancestors of Huanggu.

The three brothers and sisters recorded the ingredients and proportions of the ingredients, how to arrange the plates, etc., and made a "business file" and marked it with the date.In addition, I found a second-hand scrap booklet and recorded their expenses on the back.

Holding a thin brush, Yin Bao wrote down the word "account book" stroke by stroke, and wrote the word "planning" on another book with plans.

The first page of the account book is all the expenses they plan to go to Mizhuang to do business with tomorrow. It is less than three Wen, and the family still has [-] Wen, which is kept by the eldest brother.The books and plans are kept by the second brother, and if expenditures are required, the three siblings must vote together.

I was busy, thump, thud, someone knocked on the door, Myolie was carrying the basket, her face full of grievance and depression, her face was muddy, she ran to Yinbao, broke Yinbao's hand with her small hands, and stuffed three pieces of paper for her. Picked red fruit.

Brother Jin stretched out his big hand to touch Xing'er's little head, and tugged at his ears. Seeing that he was unhappy, he remembered that there was only one mouthful left of yesterday's snack, so he turned around and took it out of the freezer, washed it on a clean plate, and handed it over. In front of Xing'er.

Xing'er's big black agate-like eyes stared round and round, a scent she had never smelled before rushed into her nostrils, stirring up a surge of saliva, her throat trembled slightly, and her eyes were filled with love.

"Big brother, what is this? It smells so good!"

"You'll know it if you try it! It's a snack!"

Xing'er was about to reach out to take it, and looked into the room, where the twenty younger brothers and sisters of the Ren family were reciting the book.The book is a "teaching material" compiled by Yinbao. The children are one or two years old and the oldest are ten years old. They still can't read or reason.Yinbao gave them some handouts, which were Zhuge Liang's "Teacher's List".

Although the children didn't know who Zhuge Liang was, Yinbao told them that he was a very smart uncle, and his writings were very reasonable, and he would become very good after studying.

The children are very obedient, and they get up early and greedy to recite texts every day.Seeing that they were eager to learn even though they were hungry, Yin Bao felt that the children really needed to be guided, as long as they were given correct concepts, they could tell the difference between good and bad.

Although Xing'er's eyes were staring blankly, she still shook her head, "Big brother, you have so many children in your family, let's leave this to younger siblings."

"They've all eaten it, brother gave it to you, take it quickly!"

Brother Jin handed the plate to Myolie, and Myolie carefully scooped up the fingernail-sized egg yolk snack with a spoon, put it in her mouth and sucked it, her big joyful eyes were filled with satisfaction.

Xing'er patted the basket, "I specially brought this basket of wild fruits to Sister Yin and brothers, everything on the mountain is going to be snatched now."

Said, Xing'er's eyes dimmed again, Yin Bao felt that something was wrong with him just now, and asked after him, "What happened on the mountain?"

". My uncle brought a lot of people to dig wild ginseng day and night. Originally, the mountain was full of greenery, but now Dongshan has been turned into a mess. Even the wild vegetables don't grow. They dig three feet to dig wild ginseng. !"

Brother Jin thought for a while, "What about the old tree on Dongshan Mountain, is it still alive?"

Xing'er lowered her eyes sadly, "It's alive, but a lot of roots have been dug out. When Sister Yin taught us before, she once said that ginseng takes 100 years to form, 300 years to form a plant, and 500 years to form roots. It's too powerful, and Dongshan can't recover his strength. But...my uncle and the others just don't listen."

Yin Bao held his breath and concentrated, and his pink cheeks showed a slight worry.She touched the numbers in ink on the account book, thinking about what Xing'er said.Brother Jin brought a few buns for Myolie and sent them back by hand.

In the middle of the night, when the whole family was asleep and the village was quiet, Yin Bao secretly went to Dongshan without telling his two elder brothers.

As soon as she reached the foot of the mountain, she was stunned by the sight in front of her.

Originally covered with verdant and lush wild vegetables, it has now turned into deep pits one after another. Dongshan Mountain never grew trees or blossomed, but now the surface has been completely destroyed and looks ruined.In the darkness, the majestic Dongshan was full of resentment, as if he was being bullied but unable to resist, he could only bear silently as they scraped his bones and ruined every inch of him.

Yin Bao immediately turned back to the village and knocked on the door of Lao Tie's house.

dong dong dong!dong dong dong!
Yinbao knocked more than ten times in a row, but no one answered. There was some messy sound in the room, and Yinbao's eyes trembled. He looked up and saw that it was so late.
The pink cheeks became more and more red, Yin Bao's small fist hit the wall beside him, and several farmers outside the door walked by with hoes on their backs, their hands were full of a bag of wild ginseng, a few pitiful roots When the beard was exposed, Yinbao recognized it at a glance. This is a young ginseng, and young ginseng cannot be dug!
Just like fishing instead of catching small fish, cutting down trees instead of cutting seedlings, people should take it from nature with respect and not destroy the law of ecology
Alas, even if I tell the villagers these words, they won't listen.In a poor land where even tomorrow's life cannot be guaranteed, as long as it can be sold for money, the villagers will not let it go.

The noises in the old iron yard continued. These two old couples have never had children. They are so old, and they can still play like this.Yin Bao showed a helpless expression on his face, he only made a few money, and now he is floating like this
I arrived home after detouring two roads. All the cottages along the way had turned off their lights and went to bed, but the only one was still on persistently. When Brother Tong went upstairs to cover Yinbao with a quilt, he found that she was not in the house. I couldn't find it either, the elder brother guessed that he heard about Xing'er, worried, and went up the mountain, the two elder brothers chatted about the business plan for the day after tomorrow at the door, while waiting for Yinbao to come home.

Yinbao, who was standing in the distance, saw the dim light in the yard, and usually disliked it being too dark to see clearly, but he didn't know that in this quiet and dark night, this gleam of light from home was as bright as a river of stars.

Yinbao's pink cheeks trembled slightly, and her big watery eyes were slightly moist. In the 44 years before the time travel, she never had any friends. Everyone said she was a freak and only lived in her own world.

There are also people who tease her for her high education, but she is not married and has children, and they are all relatives
But here, her two elder brothers, her elderly parents, and the invincible, cute, well-behaved and sensible nephews and nieces in the family all believe in her. She is the backbone of the family, and no one will say anything that makes her uncomfortable. , everyone will only think of ways and solve problems together, but each has its own life, and no one will point fingers.

She likes this "poor" family so much.
