My village can't be like this

Chapter 681 Mr. Huang's livelihood
Zhang An and the fat man didn't pick many mulberries, only about two or three pounds.

However, with his deliberate reminder, they all just satisfied their cravings and did not eat too much.

Including the greedy little Siqi, who stopped after eating just a few this time.

Although he is a little foodie, he is able to distinguish good from bad.

Compared to the delicious things Zhang An had given him before, these slightly sour wild mulberries were really not that delicious.

So this time he didn't let Su Ying speak, he just kept silent.

If it were the space fruits that Zhang An had given him in the past, he probably wouldn't be so obedient even if Su Ying asked him.

In the afternoon, the sun in the sky began to set from the center to the west.

The direction Zhang An and his friends are walking on now is another area of ​​Western Hills, although there are not many trees on this mountain.

But the bright sunshine was still blocked by the top of the mountain, so this seemingly shabby mountain road, which was rarely visited, was actually shady.

Along with the mountain breeze blowing in from afar, several people immediately felt waves of cool pleasure.

Although the mountain breeze in May is gentle, it is also long and lingering. Because the temperature is not very high, it can be called a cool breeze when it blows on people.

If it were July or August, although the wind in the mountains would be much stronger, it would be the hottest time of the year because it is the scorching summer. Even the cool mountain breeze would be scorched hot and would not be so refreshing when it blows on people.

In addition, in July and August, after a whole spring and half a summer of growth, the trees in the mountains become luxuriant and thick-branched. The mountain breeze blows from afar, and when passing through them, it seems to be slowed down layer by layer. Even if it blows on people under the sun, it disappears in an instant, as if it had never been there.

The few people went into the mountains without any purpose, they just wanted to have fun. Now they felt comfortable resting there, and had no intention of moving forward. Instead, they rested here quietly and continued to experience a different summer.

"It's still better in the mountains. It's quiet, free, and comfortable. It's not like our usual place. Except for being a little quiet at night, the horns of various vehicles on the road never stop during the day."

The fat man was half lying on the rock behind him, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth, looking at the blue sky and white clouds and said.

Now, he likes this quiet life more and more. Sometimes he wonders whether he should run to the mountains to find some peace and quiet like Chen Ze.

"Alright, alright, stop being so cocky. The area you're in now is definitely the center of the provincial capital, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money. But you've made it look like nothing happened."

After hearing what he said, Zhang An rolled his eyes back in annoyance.

He knew something that others didn't know, but in addition to their old house, Fatty and Zhang Zilin now lived in the city center of the provincial capital.

Buying a house in that place is a goal that most people cannot achieve even if they work hard for their entire lives.

Moreover, the provincial capital is developing so rapidly that it is no exaggeration to say that there is a change every day.

There is more and more traffic on that road now. Compared with the sparse traffic in previous years, traffic jams now occur frequently.

From Wuli Chong to Lianhuapo, traffic jams have become a daily occurrence.

People in the southwest are notoriously bad-tempered, regardless of which province they are in.

Every time when there is a traffic jam, the car horns are honking more and more frequently. When you stick your head out of the window, all you can hear is the most classic sound of your home.

Fatty and his family live not far from the road, and even if their home has good sound insulation, they cannot withstand such harassment.

Of course, this is the disadvantage of the prime location, but it is also its advantage. After all, it is impossible to experience such bustle in other places that are not as good.

"Anyway, it's really nothing in my opinion. In two years, I will come to your place with my whole family like Old Chen did to live in our old age. Then we will have a companion. If you can't rent a yard in your village by then, I will borrow your old house and live in it for a few years."

The fat guy used to want to make money all the time, even though his family was wealthy, especially when he just became independent.

But in the past few years, he has indeed earned some money, especially after meeting Zhang An. He has gradually agreed with Zhang An's idea that it is no longer necessary to have too much money and that a little savings is enough.

After all, wealth cannot last for more than three generations, and it is not up to him to decide what the next generation will be like.

If one really meets some capable younger generations, even if he doesn't leave behind much wealth, he can still live a happier life.

But if he really encounters some incompetent younger generations, no matter how much he saves, it will not be enough to ruin his family.

"Come if you want to. I never thought that our remote little mountain village would become such a popular place in the eyes of you city people."

Zhang An just smiled. He had no objection to this.

Even though he said it was a remote little mountain village, he didn't think so in his heart.

Changqing Village now has a school, although there is no high school. But no one can predict what the future will be like.

Although the hospital does not have it, there is Zhang Yixing, a master of traditional Chinese medicine, who can treat not only normal diseases but also some difficult and complicated diseases.

Of course, if you really get a serious disease like a malignant tumor, it's your fate. After all, even in those very developed cities, it will not be cured.

But living in a place with fresh air and a moderate pace of life will at least allow you to live a few years longer than in a city full of exhaust gas.

Speaking of transportation, both the train station and the highway are not far from the village, making transportation very convenient.

Even if a highway is built in a few years, given the current momentum of Hongyan Town, it will definitely bring in some money.

As for food, you can work by yourself, and even if you trade with villagers, you can ensure that the food is green and pollution-free.

Especially with the help of Zhang An, you can get some good things that you can’t get anywhere else.

Once Ding Yi puts his supermarket plan into practice in the future, it will be small but complete.

So whether it is health preservation or so-called retirement, this place is definitely an excellent choice.

A few people enjoyed the cool mountain breeze and talked about the leisurely and comfortable life and the future that could be seen at a glance.

Suddenly, a sound came from the gap in the mountain behind me.

"Hey, I was wondering who it was, turns out it's you guys."

Zhang An took a look and found that it was Master Huang who had brought their dog into the mountains.

"Second Grandfather!!"

Xiao Siqi knew Uncle Huang. After all, the old man would find some delicious food for him every time he went into the mountains.

"Qiqi is here too. Second Ancestor hasn't found anything delicious today. Can we go back and look for it later?"

When he saw Xiao Siqi, Mr. Huang's old face immediately wrinkled into a ball with laughter.

Once people get older, they will like children more. Speaking of which, Zhang An is his last disciple, and Xiao Siqi is his grandson. Every time he goes into the mountains and finds something to eat or a small animal, he will give it to the little guy.

Even though Huang Ming's wife was pregnant, this tendency did not decrease.

"Oh, Second Grandpa, this is for you."

Little Siqi didn't get any benefits from Mr. Huang and was a little disappointed, but he still grabbed a handful of mulberries and handed it to the old man.

This made Mr. Huang even happier. When he ate the mulberries, it felt like he was eating ginseng fruit.

Then little Siqi went up to Mr. Huang's dog and started playing with it.

The dog has grown up and is called Heihu. It looks like a smaller version of Erhu, the one that Zhang An sent over.

Although it has always been raised by Master Huang, it knows who its parents are and will come to Zhang An's house from time to time to play with the big dogs.

Even though he was trained by Master Huang and was very fierce to the prey in the mountains, he was very well behaved in front of Xiao Siqi, as if he had no temper at all.

He always lets the little guy play with him and treat him as a mount at any time.

"Zhang An, you are usually so lazy. You never come when I call you. Why did you come to the mountains today?"

Although Mr. Huang has not gone into the mountains in recent years, he still often wanders around here.

Sometimes he wanted to go into the mountains and call Zhang An to go with him, but that man didn't want to move at all and was too lazy.

"Hey, Fatty and his friends are here, so I'm taking them out for a walk and looking for some herbs. What are you looking for this time, Master?"

At this moment, the mountain where Zhang An and his companions came had sparse trees and no forests, which was not suitable for finding mountain products. So Zhang An wondered why Mr. Huang came here.

"I came here to look for rock honey. A guy from the city came to me these days and said he wanted to find some authentic rock honey. He seemed quite generous, so I took the job."

If someone else asked, Mr. Huang would definitely not tell anyone, as he had to be careful about the danger of having his business snatched away.

But he had long regarded Zhang An as one of his own, so he did not hide anything.

Mr. Huang's family doesn't have much land, and he is not the kind of person who would be honest and work hard in the fields to make a living.

But over the years, their family's living conditions have been much better than most people in the village.

Because many years ago, Mr. Huang would often receive orders from the city, sometimes for mountain products, sometimes for wild products, and sometimes for medicinal materials.

This is Mr. Huang's own business and the main source of income for his family.

Of course, Master Huang himself was a smart man. He knew the principle of living off the mountain. If the mountain was gone, his livelihood would be gone too, so he always just did his job.

It is also because of this that he has never made a fortune.

For example, a few years ago, several groups of people came to Mr. Huang Er, saying that they wanted to pay a large sum of money to ask him to help lead the way into the mountains to find something.

But Mr. Huang didn't think they were serious people, so he didn't make that lucrative money.

"Oh? Judging from your appearance, you must have met a rich man. How is it? Are you sure?"

Mr. Huang usually doesn't say anything about the buyer, but this time he emphasized that the buyer was generous, which means that the buyer gave a lot.

"There's no way to be sure about this. It must be a done deal. Before the spring, I went into the mountains and found a large rock bee. I came here today to confirm it. If it's still there, I'll take it away tomorrow to report to the owner."

Mr. Huang immediately gave a confident smile. He never fought a battle without confidence.

A hiker like him who has spent his entire life wandering in the mountains must have some information reserves, just like the housing resources in the hands of a rental agent.

Otherwise, I would really think that he had nothing to do and came here to the mountains to waste time.

"Is that place steep? If it is steep, forget it and find another place."

Based on Zhang An's understanding of Mr. Huang, he was naturally aware of all this, so he would only talk about some safety-related matters.

After all, rock honey grows on rock walls or big trees, and some places are really not worth taking the risk.

"Don't worry. I have been making a living in the mountains for most of my life. I have never thought of exchanging my life for money. I will ignore any danger. After all, if you lose your life, you lose everything. This time, the rock honey is growing on a tree about five or six meters high. If it is still there, I will call Damingzi over and cut it down in two strokes."

Mr. Huang naturally knew that Zhang An was concerned about him, so he waved his hand and said.

In recent years, as he got older, it became less convenient for him to climb high and jump low, so he began to let Huang Ming do many things.

Since his grandson is involved, he will definitely be more careful and will not have the idea of ​​taking risks.

"Okay, that place is not close, I have to go. If you want to go, you can also follow me to take a look."

After resting for a while, Mr. Huang stood up and prepared to leave.

After hearing what Mr. Huang said, Zhang An didn't think much of it. He had seen everything in the mountains.

But the fat guy was different. He really wanted to follow Master Huang to see how the mountain hikers walked in the mountains.

"Forget it. We, the burdensome ones, won't cause you any more trouble."

In the end, the fat man gave up the idea.

After all, Mr. Huang said that the place they were going to was not close, and if they really wanted to follow him, who knows how long it would take them to arrive.

And he just heard that this was the job the old man had taken on.

People just went there to take a look today and will not go to harvest the honey until tomorrow.

Most people wouldn't tell others about this kind of place. The reason they said this was entirely because of Zhang An.

Therefore, even if someone says it at this time, he should know how to avoid suspicion.

Otherwise, if they go to see it today, who will own the rock honey if it is gone when they go to see it tomorrow?

"Okay, then you guys just look around by yourselves. If you're lucky today and come across something, I'll give it to you guys to eat with your wine."

Master Huang smiled and said, then he took Heihu away.
