Rebirth in 1984, starting from beekeeping in the mountains

Chapter 48: Learn from your brother

"This……"

The Wang family looked at the full basket of things.

I was completely dumbfounded.

"Second brother!" Wang Xiaojie, Wantong's eldest sister-in-law, changed her expression the fastest and came up to him with a smiling face. "It looks like you made a lot of money this time!"

"It can be considered... a little profit!" Wang Tong grinned and smiled.

"What do you sell to make the money?" Wang Xiaojie continued to ask with a smile.

"Sorry!" Wang Tong bared his white teeth, "Sister-in-law! I just told you, this is a secret! Not to mention you, even my dad can't tell me!"

Wang Yonghe, who had been listening closely, was so angry that his face turned pale when he heard this: "You little bastard! Are you rebelling?"

Wang Tong ignored him and just pulled something from the bottom of the basket. He pulled out a red and white strip and placed it in front of him.

Wang Yonghe felt something was wrong at first glance. When he stared to see it clearly, his expression suddenly froze and he kept taking in breaths.

His second son, the prodigal son, actually took out a whole strip of red beans.

"You take it first!"

Wang Tong threw it over, then picked up the entire basket and walked towards Fang Cuihong: "Mom! You keep the remaining things first, I will take them to the room with you!"

When Fang Cuihong heard this, she knew that her son not only wanted to give her all the things, but also had something to say to her.

He nodded immediately and helped Wang Tong carry the basket into the inner room.

Wang Xiaojie watched the basket of things go into her mother-in-law's room and followed eagerly. Just as she was about to go into the house to get a share of the food, the door to the inner room was slammed shut with a bang, almost hitting her nose.

"This……"

Wang Xiaojie suddenly felt embarrassed.

He turned his head and looked at Wang Yonghe: "Dad! The second son must have been whispering with Mom. He got lucky this time and made a lot of money. He should tell the whole family. We are all family. If there is a way to make money, everyone should do it together!"

Wang Yonghe's mouth twitched, and a flash of embarrassment passed across his face. He muttered, "You just saw it. In front of us, the second brother didn't want to say it. What can I do!"

"Besides..." Thinking of Wang Xiaojie's request to split up the family just now, Wang Yonghe sneered, "Didn't you just say you wanted to split up the family..."

"I..." Wang Xiaojie was speechless...

……

……

Inside the back room.

I listened by the door for a while, making sure no one was eavesdropping.

Only then did Wang Tong walk towards his mother.

At this time, Fang Cuihong had already packed out a lot of things from the basket.

The more she cleaned up, the more shocked her face became.

When she opened the small jar and looked at the jar full of honey, she finally couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"Mom!" Wang Tong walked forward and grinned, "Don't be so surprised, there are more exciting things here!"

As he spoke, Wang Tong took off the cloth bag on his chest and handed it to his mother.

Fang Cuihong subconsciously took it in her hand and rubbed the bulging bag. She immediately realized something was wrong. When she tremblingly unzipped the bag and took out a handful of neatly arranged bills, she felt a flash before her eyes and it felt like a dream!
He rubbed his eyes several times, but the expression on his face was still dazed!
“Haha!” Wang Tong sat aside with a smile, “Mom! Stop rubbing your eyelids. They will break if you keep rubbing them!”

"You read it right! A total of eighty dollars! This is my gift to you!"

"Eighty... eighty yuan!" Fang Cuihong trembled with fear, and grabbed Wang Tong's shoulder: "Second brother! Tell me the truth! Where did you get this money?"

"That's what I wanted to tell you!"

Wang Tong smiled, but immediately put on a serious expression: "However, this matter...only you know about it, you can't tell my dad...my brother and the others!"

"Okay!" Fang Cuihong nodded.

"Is such that……"

Wang Tong lowered his voice and started from the day when he delivered the fish. He told his mother how Fang Hongan took him to the mountains to dig honey. The two of them dug from morning till night for three days in a row and dug two hundred kilograms of honey. He then lied to his uncle and asked him to borrow a donkey cart. Today, the two of them drove the donkey cart to the market to sell all the honey. He told his mother everything.

After saying this, he was afraid that his mother would not believe him, so he rolled up his sleeves and showed Fang Cuihong the bumps on his arms that had not yet fully healed from the stings.

Fang Cuihong was more surprised the more she listened. After seeing the sting marks on Wang Tong's hand, tears started to flow down her face.

"Don't cry, Mom!"

Wang Tong slapped his head and immediately regretted showing his hand to his mother. He could only quickly explain: "This bee sting doesn't hurt much! The kind that stings people to death is a wasp!"

"I've got the hang of it now. Generally speaking, I rarely get stung by bees!"

"Besides, An Ge said that from now on we will mainly do beekeeping and supplement it with bee digging, so we will be less likely to be stung!"

"Beekeeping?" Fang Cuihong was surprised when she heard these two words, "Hongan also knows this?"

"Of course!" Wang Tong said with a look of admiration on his face, "Ange knows a lot! I have learned a lot by following him. Take the honey sales this time for example..."

As he spoke, Wang Tong started telling stories again and recounted the story of selling honey at the market in detail.

When he came back, Fang Hongan specifically told him that he could not disclose the matters of digging honey and raising bees to anyone without his permission.

However, there is one exception.

That was his mother Fang Cuihong.

To his mother Fang Cuihong, he not only had to tell her, but also had to take the initiative to tell her.

Wang Tong was a little confused at first, but after the commotion at the door just now, he understood Fang Hongan's intention.

From now on, if I want to follow Fang Hongan to dig and raise bees for a long time, it will be impossible to keep it a secret from my family.

At that time, it might cause more trouble.

Instead of doing this, it is better to confess to your family early and get their consent.

In his family, all matters big and small are basically decided by his mother Fang Cuihong.

His mother Fang Cuihong is also one of the people who cares about Fang Hongan the most. Even if these news are told to her mother, she will definitely not leak it out.

Fang Cuihong listened quietly to her son's story, the expression on her face becoming more and more horrified.

Some of Fang Hongan's actions were unheard of and unseen by anyone, not to mention Wang Tong, but even by him.

Fang Cuihong took a deep breath and couldn't help but sighed, "Hongan! This child... has a bright future! He has a bright future!"

"Hehe! Yes! My brother is doing nothing but soaring into the sky!" Wang Tong also echoed.

"Okay!" Fang Cuihong listened to her son's active talk. She knew what he was thinking. She nodded and patted his shoulder and said, "Second brother! You should learn from your brother in the future! Be diligent! Talk less and do more!"

"I know!" Wang Tong grinned, smiling like a flower, "What about my dad and my brother..."

"I'll go talk to him!" Fang Cuihong said firmly, "I'll make the decision on family matters... Just follow your brother and do what he wants!"

"Okay!"
