Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 10: Mushroom Picking (Please read the new book!)

Back mountain. Reservoir!

When Li Yi came over, he saw five or six half-year-olds tinkering with something at the edge of the reservoir from a distance!
After seeing Li Yi, two boys wearing only shorts ran over immediately!
"Brother Yi, why are you here?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Call everyone here, I'll see you if anything happens!"

"Got it!"

Soon, everyone in the water on the shore was called to Li Yi!
Looking at these friends who grew up together in front of him, Li Yi felt mixed emotions in his heart.

Dongzi, Shitou, Qiangzi, Gangzi, Datou, Xiaoxiaowa, most of these little friends in their previous lives lived a mediocre life. Even the best ones just opened a grain and oil shop in the county town. No one is worth more than a million.

But even so, they are very loyal.

During the years when Li Yi couldn't survive in the village and went out to make a living, they often came to his house to help.

Especially after my father died of illness due to grief and anger, leaving my old mother alone at home, it was these little friends who helped my old mother go through the most difficult years.

Although Li Yi repaid them some overtly and secretly after he became successful, Li Yi felt that his material help was nothing compared to the brotherhood.

In this life, he will not only rewrite Tang Xue's fate, but also lead these little brothers to a prosperous career!
"Brother Yi, didn't we make an appointment to come here to catch the fish in the afternoon? Why didn't I see you coming?"

"Brother Yi, I heard that you gave Sister Xiaoxue something, is it true?"

"Brother Yi, do you want to marry Sister Xiaoxue as your wife? Aren't you thinking about Wang Erniu's sister?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Stop it, you asked so many questions at once, how should I answer you?"

Dongzi hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Uh, Brother Yi, are you really giving Sister Xiaoxue?"

Li Yi did not hide it, nodded immediately and said: "Yes!"

"Brother Yi, what you did is not honest!" Dongzi said.

Li Yi was not angry. He knew that Tang Xue was kind to the Dongzi family.

Last year Dongzi's ten-year-old sister went to play in the river, but she encountered a flood from the upstream reservoir. The little girl was washed away by the flood before she could get ashore. Tang Xue happened to be passing by, and with a strong sense of justice, she jumped in regardless of the risk to her life. People were rescued from the river.

Since then, the Dongzi family has regarded Tang Xue as a living Bodhisattva!
He said this because of Tang Xue!

What's more, I am indeed responsible for this matter, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is unreasonable!
"I will be responsible, but I need your help!" Li Yi said.

Dongzi immediately said: "Brother Yi, what do you want to do, what can we do for you?"

Li Yi immediately said: "I am going to marry Tang Xue, and I want to make the wedding a glamorous one. This requires a lot of money!"

Dongzi thought for a moment and said, "How many is a lot?"

"If the bride price plus other expenses are included, it will be at least 1000 yuan!"

When Li Yi said this, he included all the money spent on building a house and marrying a wife. If he just married Tang Xue, he would not need so much money.

"One thousand yuan?"

Everyone was shocked by Li Yi's words. 1000 yuan is not a small amount. Many people can only save more than 100 yuan after working hard for a year. 1000 yuan is worth the amount of money many people have ten years ago. Total annual income!

"Brother Yi, I only have two cents here!"

"Brother Yi, I have four cents!"

"Brother Yi, I'll go back and talk to my dad and see if I can get him to use some money to organize a wedding for you and Sister Xiaoxue."

Li Yi shook his head and said: "No need, I have found a way to make money, but I need your help. And I won't let you help in vain, I will reward you!"

"You still need to be paid for doing things for Brother Yi. Brother Yi, tell me, what can brothers do?"

The person who spoke was Qiangzi, the grandson of Party Secretary Feng. He was 17 years old and the oldest among the little brothers except Li Yi.

"You should know where there are mushrooms in the back mountains!"

"I know, that thing in the back mountain is much older!" Li Yi's eyes lit up immediately and he said directly: "What I asked you to do is pick mushrooms!"

"Picking mushrooms?"

"Yes, both pine fungus and trumpet fungus!" Li Yi said.

"Brother Yi, what do you want with that thing? It's not a bad year?" Qiangzi frowned.

"Don't ask any more questions. I'll tell you later!"

"Brother Yi, when do you want it?"

"The sooner the better!"

Qiangzi immediately said: "Then let's stop trimming the fish and go to the forest to pick mushrooms now. We should be able to pick a lot by dark!"

"I think it will work. I think it will take two hours until dark. A few dozen pounds will not be a problem!"

"Brother Yi, why don't you go back and find a snakeskin bag or a big frame, and the brothers can go pick mushrooms first?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "Okay, you go pick it first, and I'll go back and get the frame!"

"okay!"

Back Mountain is three miles away from Nianzishan Village. When Li Yi returned to Back Mountain again, it was already past seven in the afternoon, and the sun was already setting in the west.

Li Yi came to the forest and saw that Dongzi and Qiangzi had picked a lot of mushrooms and placed several mushroom piles.

Put these mushrooms into the boxes one by one, and soon the two large boxes brought by Li Yi were filled.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Yi immediately asked the little brothers to go back to the village, otherwise it would be quite dangerous in the mountains at night.

Although there are no ferocious beasts like wolves, insects, tigers and leopards in the back mountains, there are wild boars, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of wild wolves.

So, a group of people carried two large frames of mushrooms and the fishing equipment, and walked toward the village in a mighty manner.

When Li Yi and others returned to the village, it was already dark, and many people had already lit kerosene lamps!

Although Nianzishan Village has electricity at this time, there are only a few people who are willing to use electric lights. The vast majority of villagers are still accustomed to using kerosene lamps at home!
Nothing else, just to save money!
When I got home, my parents had returned. My father was giving water to the mules, while my mother was walking around the stove, probably cooking.

Li Shankui was a little surprised when he saw Li Yi and a group of boys carrying two large baskets in, and then asked: "What's in the basket?"

"mushroom!"

"Why are you doing that? There's no shortage of food at home?" Li Shankui asked in confusion.

"It's useful, just stop asking!"

Then Li Yi asked Qiangzi and the others to help carry the mushrooms into the house, and then told them to continue picking the mushrooms in the mountains tomorrow, and he would go find them tomorrow afternoon.

Then, take care of them and go back!
After Qiangzi and the others left, Zhang Yuehong asked while lighting the fire: "Xiao Yi, I think your tea tray is quite clean. How are the sales of Liangpi?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, they're all sold out!"

"Did you make any money?"

"Yes, I made a total of ten yuan today!"

"Ten dollars?"

At this time, Li Shankui walked in from outside and said at the same time: "What ten yuan?"

Zhang Yuehong stuttered and said: "Old man, Xiao Yi said he made ten yuan selling Liangpi today!"

Li Shankui was also stunned, then frowned and said: "You kid, don't talk nonsense, money is so easy to make!"

Li Yi knew that empty explanations were useless, so he directly opened the felt on the kang, took out the bag containing money from underneath, and poured all the money inside on the kang!
When a pile of [-]-cent cents were scattered on the kang, Li Shankui and his wife suddenly opened their eyes wide with shock on their faces!
