Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt

Uncle Guangshen is an educated man and a teacher in the village. He has a lot to think about: "Think carefully, Xia Lian is on credit, not a gift. We have to pay her back in three years."

The uncle laughed and said, "You are just a teacher, you have never raised livestock. The donkey will give birth this year, and in three years, there will be at least one mule and one foal. Five donkeys will make ten more large livestock. Now our two-year-old mule can be sold for about 2,500 yuan. A big black donkey weighing about 600 kilograms will only cost us 1,500 yuan when it is delivered home, and we will pay it in three years. What are you still worried about?"

Uncle Six was quite puzzled. When Liu Xia Lian came last fall, she gave him great support, borrowing money and buying cows. How come she had so much money again in such a short time?

"Last year, Xia Lian brought so many honeysuckle and salvia seedlings to our village, and some time ago she asked us to plant 200 mu of them. Now she is buying dozens of donkeys at once. Where does she get so much money?"

The uncle smiled and said, "You don't have a phone, so we don't have much contact. I have a phone at home. I talked to the fourth brother a while ago and he told me that Xia Lian did a big business. She used 400 train skins of canned food to exchange for three large airplanes. That's why the fourth brother asked Xia Lian to give each of our families five donkeys."

Uncle's words caused a stir and everyone was stunned.

The second uncle was stunned: "If they changed three large planes, they would make hundreds of thousands of dollars."

Lao Wu was so angry that he shook his head: "You are talking nonsense. You know how much a plane costs. If you change to three large planes, you must make millions."

Uncle Six may not have good legs and feet, but he listens to the radio every day: "What you said is not right. I heard an expert analysis on the phone, and the minimum profit is about 50 million."

The uncle laughed and said, "Don't talk about those useless things. The fourth brother has helped us a lot. Every child who goes to Northeast Xialian has a job. All of them have made a lot of money. After the donkeys arrive, you can divide them among yourselves. If the children in your family have married, you can give them a few donkeys. If you don't have a family, you can raise them yourself. If you want to have a donkey, find a male donkey. If you want to have a mule, go to the fifth brother's house to borrow a male horse."

Uncle Wu was quite proud of his two yellow stallions. Their personalities were not very good. They worked in bursts. If they were obedient, they could plow three acres of land in a morning. If they got fussy, they would not do anything at all. However, breeding was really profitable. The market price was fifty yuan per time. He would take the two horses to the market every time. He almost never had any free time, which was equivalent to a net profit of five or six hundred yuan a month, which was very good.

The two sons of the fifth and sixth uncles came running over and shouted, "Here they come, here they come, the convoy is coming."

The pigs were slaughtered, the women cooked, and the uncle led everyone to the village entrance to welcome them. At this moment, Liu Xialian was a wealthy businessman who had returned home in glory. She had to have the proper pomp and ceremony. Clothes make the man, and the saddle makes the horse. She had to hold up her cards.

Leading the group was a Shanghai sedan, followed by a Crown sedan, then a jeep, and closely behind them were three large tractors.

The villagers were indeed excited. Whenever a car came to the village, the old and the young would go out to the streets to watch.

The uncle and his brothers came to the entrance of the village to welcome him, with a proud look on their faces. The villagers asked, "Village chief, where did this leader come from?"

"This is our fourth child's second daughter, Xia Lian, who promoted honeysuckle last year. This time she came to give us dozens of donkeys."

The villagers are quite fond of donkeys. Mules are the most popular here, followed by cows, and then donkeys.

But when the tractor got closer, the villagers discovered that a donkey could be so big. Such a big donkey must weigh at least six or seven hundred kilograms. It must be making a lot of noise when plowing the fields, pulling carts, and grinding mills.

The convoy drove all the way to the square in front of the village brigade before stopping. Liu Xialian, Zhao Hua, and Liu Fuhong got off the car to greet everyone. There were fifteen or sixteen drivers and escorts, and Daya and Li Daniu followed as guards.

The uncle enthusiastically took his nephew-in-law Zhao Hua's hand and said, "Thank you for the hardship along the way. Help Xia Lian go home first."

"Okay uncle, let's go back first. Brother Hong, you arrange for the donkey to drink some Astragalus water first, and then feed it grass. Don't leave people alone."

"Don't worry, it's not wrong."

Two aunts came over to help watch over the scene, while Liu Fuhong and the driver went home with buckets of water. The transportation of large livestock is very particular. Horses, donkeys and mules are relatively durable and do not easily get carsick or suffer from stress. Experienced drivers cover the high-sided truck with tarpaulin, and the animals are fed moderate amounts of water and small amounts of grass on the road, so there are basically no casualties.

Everything has been prepared almost entirely at my uncle’s house: the pig-killing dish is delicious.

Although Liu Xia Lian had a bulging belly, she was young and in good physical condition, so she had no problems with it.

"Uncle, there are thirty-five in total, five for each family. I don't care how you divide them. There are always differences in the size of livestock, and those with foals will suffer no matter how you choose, so uncle has to think of a way."

My uncle is a village cadre. He has been doing this for half his life and is very experienced. He would curse his mother if the distribution of wealth to his brothers was unfair.

"We will divide the donkeys into seven groups and draw lots. Which one we draw is fate's will. We can't blame anyone else. How many days did you walk on this journey?"

"The big tractor is slow, and the donkey has lost some weight after three and a half days on the road, but it's not a big deal. We also have two meals a day on the road, so the donkey is not hungry."

The second uncle was smiling and handing out cigarettes to the men, while the aunt was shouting, "Xia Lian, let's go to the next room. The men's smoking is killing us."

Uncle took a cigarette and came over. Liu Xia Lian took out her bag, which was full of big unity cigarettes.

"I came back in a hurry this time, so I didn't buy any gifts for everyone. Each household gets 300 yuan, and my eldest aunt and my second aunt also get some."

The uncle was shocked. He had five brothers, two aunts, and two cousins, a total of nine people. Three times nine equals twenty-seven, which comes to two thousand seven hundred yuan.

"Xia Lian, why don't you just forget about your two aunts? We have many brothers here, and these two hardly ever come back to your parents' home. Last time you got married, they were even more stingy. Last year, when your uncle's son in Guangshen got married, they notified your second aunt, and she came over to give a five-dollar gift, and we had a big fight in the street."

"It's all done. I'll give you what you deserve. I don't come back often. When the cultivation of medicinal herbs develops, I may only come back once every two or three years. It's not easy to come all the way here."

The uncle sighed, "It's natural. It will be even harder to come back after the baby is born. Okay, you can make the arrangements. I'll ask someone to call you Second Aunt and Second Uncle. I wonder if they will come."

My second aunt’s house is very close, just in the next village, three miles away, and only a few minutes’ bike ride away.

The uncle took out his notebook and abacus to check Liu Xialian's accounts. This spring, another 200 mu of honeysuckle and 300 mu of salvia miltiorrhiza were planted. Liu Xialian paid for the seedlings used for promotion, so the accounts needed to be settled.
