Return to the small mountain village in 1993

Chapter 14 Tian Shilei

The bamboo shoots and snake weighed almost 150 kilograms in total. Tian Hao picked it up on his shoulder and felt a burning pain in his shoulder.

Obviously, I picked too hard yesterday.

Yesterday, I carried more than 100 kilograms for more than ten miles before meeting a car. Then when I returned home, I carried more than 100 kilograms and walked the entire 40-mile mountain road.

It's no wonder that my shoulders don't hurt after such high-intensity work.

In severe cases, it may even cause blood blisters!
Tian Hao didn't check it either, so he probably didn't have blood blisters, but peeling was definitely there.

In order to relieve the pain, Tian Hao grabbed a lot of weeds and put them on his shoulders, then picked up the basket and felt much better.

There are still more than ten miles of mountain road from Niujiao Mountain to Tianba Village. After this journey, Tian Hao was very tired and his shoulders were in unbearable pain. It was as if someone had rubbed off a layer of skin, and he could not even touch it. Untouchable pain.

Of course, Tian Hao knew very well that this was because he had not worked for a long time. It would be better after this period of time. The skin would become thicker and it would not hurt so much.

"Eh? Isn't this Tian Hao?"

"He is really Tian Daming's second son. When did he become so diligent?"

"Did he go into the mountains to pull out wild bamboo shoots? Did he pull out so many?"

As soon as I returned to Tianba Village, I met some villagers.

When the villagers saw him, they were extremely surprised and talked endlessly.

Tian Hao is recognized in the village as a lazy guy who has high ambitions but low abilities. He likes to daydream about getting rich every day, talk big words, and brag, but he never does things in a down-to-earth manner.

And today, he came back from the mountains alone carrying more than 100 kilograms of bamboo shoots.

This is really surprising, even more surprising than the sun rising from the west.

"Brother Hao? Did you really not go to Shencheng?"

At this time, a short and stocky young man suddenly rushed over quickly and looked at Tian Hao with surprise on his face.

"Stone, why didn't you go?"

Tian Hao saw a trace of doubt in his eyes when he saw this short and stocky young man, and immediately put down the basket.

He remembered that in his previous life, this boy went to Shencheng at this time. Is it because of himself that he didn't go?
"My dad didn't allow me to go. He said it was dangerous outside. I was the only son in the family, so they were worried." Tian Shilei smiled innocently and scratched his head, "I actually wanted to go. I had already walked five miles that day. The shop was ready and we were all ready to take the bus, but when we didn’t see you, Sanshou and I came back.”

"I know I'm stupid. If I didn't take it with me, I probably wouldn't be able to make any money in the city."

Tian Shilei is not stupid, just a little naive, and he accepts death. Tian Hao is the only one in the village who treats him sincerely. Other young people look down on him and like to make fun of him.

Therefore, Tian Shilei liked to be with Tian Hao since he was a child.

"Sure enough."

Tian Hao sighed, his rebirth really caused a change in the fate of many people.

In his previous life, Tian Shilei followed Tian Hao to Shencheng. He originally made a lot of money, but because he believed in Tian Hao too much, he followed him to speculate in stocks and invest. In the end, he lost all his money, but he still believed in Tian Hao.

Even his wife divorced him because of this, and like Tian Hao, he ended up alone.

"Never again in this life!"

Tian Hao swore silently, then patted Tian Shilei on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't go to the city. We can still make a lot of money in the mountains! Come on, help me pick these bamboo shoots back."

"Okay." Tian Shilei happily picked up the basket and left without saying a word.

"Shi Lei, you are a big fool! Tian Hao is treating you like a mule, and you can still laugh, you are so stupid!"

Someone laughed at Tian Shilei.

"Make a lot of money?! Tian Hao, you haven't woken up from your dream of getting rich yet?"

"Making a lot of money in the mountains, hahaha, do you want to be so funny?"

"This kid is hopeless..."

More people were laughing at Tian Hao.

Tian Hao and Tian Shilei didn't pay attention to their taunts and walked all the way towards Tian Hao's house.

It weighs more than 150 kilograms, which is so easy for Tian Shilei, who is used to farm work, that he can even carry it for a run.

Tian Hao looked envious and said, "Shitou, how about you just follow me from now on? I'll give you a salary."

Tian Shilei smiled and said: "Brother Hao, are you talking nonsense? Haven't I been following you all the time, and I haven't seen you pay me a salary?"

Tian Hao said: "That's different. I used to fool around, but now I do serious work. How can I do it without a salary? I heard that the average salary in the city is about three to four hundred yuan a month. I will also give you four hundred yuan a month. How about a hundred dollars?”

Tian Shilei knows that Tian Hao likes to dream about being a boss and getting rich, especially after drinking. He likes to brag about how he will drive a foreign car, build a foreign house, and marry a foreign wife... When he wakes up, he looks through his pockets and finds nothing but A few pocket turds!
This time, Tian Shilei thought he was bragging again, but he didn't expose it on the spot. Instead, he nodded cooperatively and said: "Okay, I will be a salary earner from now on, and it's up to Brother Hao to lead me to make a fortune!"

Tian Hao smiled and said: "No problem, we will both get rich in the future!"

Tian Shilei smiled and said to himself: "The villager was right, my brother is really hopeless."

The two talked and laughed, and soon returned to Tian Hao's house.

It was already past one o'clock at noon. Wang Xiuying had just returned from the fields. It was already the Qingming Festival and it was the busy farming season. She was very busy planting corn, potatoes, and transplanting seedlings.

Tian Hao's family has a lot of land, including dozens of acres, several acres of rice fields, and a mountain forest. It can be said that they have a lot of assets. However, the entire Tianba Village is barren fields with mostly rocks and lack of water. It is useless to have a large amount. , there is still not much food available all year round.

Tian Hao's family is also facing a severe shortage of labor, and almost all farm work falls on Wang Xiuying alone.

The harvest throughout the year will be even less!

I can only say that I can barely eat enough, but if I want to make a surplus, it is just a dream.

And once you have a headache, you have to borrow money to live.

This is why Tian Daming and his wife cannot hold their heads high in front of Wang Xiuying. The eldest son is disabled, the second son is too lazy, the third son and fourth daughter are still young, and both of them are sick. Not only can they not get off the ground, but they still have to pay for it every year. There is a lot of debt.

Everything at home and outside depends on Wang Xiuying alone. How can they be so stubborn?

When Tian Hao and Tian Shilei came back, they happened to see Tian Daming and Wang Cuifen greeting Wang Xiuying with flattering expressions, looking very humble.

Tian Hao suddenly frowned.

That's not to say that you shouldn't be nice to Wang Xiuying, but such a humble kindness made Tian Hao feel a little uncomfortable.

Of course, he would not blame Wang Xiuying for being ignorant. In fact, Wang Xiuying has done a good enough job and is definitely the most virtuous woman in the country. If it were left to other women, she would have been divorced or separated long ago.

The only thing to blame is that Tian Hao was too stupid before!
