After graduation, I went home to keep bees

Seeing that Jiang Caiyun was interested, Jiang Xiaoman briefly told her about his "how to make money" during college.

In fact, with Jiang Xiaoman's grades back then, it is not impossible to go to a key university on tiptoe, but firstly, those universities are too far away, and the commuting fee is a lot of money, and secondly, the tuition fee is not cheap, Jiang Youliang doesn't understand these things, He left it to his son to make the decision himself. Jiang Xiaoman carefully asked the teacher to inquire, and finally chose a teacher-training college in the next province.

Normal schools are subsidized by the state. The annual tuition fee is only 4000 yuan, and the dormitory fee is [-] yuan a semester. Even the food expenses are subsidized by the government. For two yuan for breakfast, you can eat a bowl of porridge and two big steamed buns, and for a few yuan at noon. Can also be full.

However, Jiang Xiaoman even saved this money, because——

"I found out that the school cafeteria throws away all the food every day, so I told the aunt in the back kitchen that I help her take out the garbage every day, and the aunt in the kitchen will leave some food for me that they haven't sold."

"Our school meal card is all-in-one card. If you save money for meals, you can go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and school supplies. This will save the cost of living."

"Wait! Why doesn't she take out the trash by herself? Isn't this easy?" Jiang Caiyun looked over in surprise.

"Hey! The city started sorting garbage a few years ago. Canteen garbage can't be thrown away casually. It has to be sorted. Auntie is old and can't remember so many categories. If the garbage is dumped wrong, you will be fined. I am young. Remember those classifications, just help her to classify them." Jiang Xiaoman chuckled.

"That's right. I've seen it on TV too. They even told us to give lessons to the students. Even if we don't care about it here, whoever dumps the garbage at their door to compost it?" Jiang Caiyun was a little embarrassed, this garbage She even taught the classification class to the students herself, but they don't have this habit at all in the mountains, and taking this class is just a teaching task.

"When I was a freshman, I applied for a work-study job for poor students. The teacher of the Communist Youth League took care of me and assigned me to the library. I usually go to help tidy up the bookshelves at night or on weekends. There is a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan."

"It's not a big deal. In fact, the work-study program in the library makes most of the money by selling waste products," Jiang Xiaoman said when he talked about making money, his eyes became round, like a little squirrel busy saving rations in autumn, "Our school library Many teachers in the library have children at home, so I asked them to go back first, and I was the last one to go. Before locking the door, I cleaned up the trash cans in the library. Every month, I can save a lot just by selling beverage bottles and waste paper. Where's the money?"

"I will stay in school to do a summer job during the summer vacation, and I usually go to the big market to wholesale instant noodles and snacks and sell them in the dormitory, so basically I don't have to ask my dad for living expenses every month, and I can save hundreds of dollars. One dollar hehe~"

"Also, the top five students in our class can basically apply for scholarships. In addition to my subsidy for poor students and tuition fee reduction, these savings are enough for me to pay tuition fees."

"Hey, let's say, you went to college for four years, and you didn't ask your family to give you a penny, but you made a lot of money?" Jiang Caiyun couldn't help being envious when he heard it, and after the envy was over, he couldn't help but feel disappointed again .

If she had known that it would not cost much to go to college, she should have gritted her teeth and persisted...

"Hey~ Anyway, I have saved a lot of money, so don't worry, I can still pay for two meals of meat." Jiang Xiaoman is not a show-off, the reason why he told Jiang Caiyun this , but also because she was afraid that she would not let her spend money randomly.

In fact, their rural consumption level is really not high. When rushing to the market, it is not impossible to go there a little later. When the market is about to end, it is not impossible to negotiate a round price with the pork seller. At that time, those big bones that cannot be sold can be bought. When I come back to make soup, buy two white radishes and cut them into it, and then I can have an extra soup. The meat left over from the picking is actually fresh meat that was slaughtered that day. It’s just that the location is not good. Just eat it, no matter where it is.

After a busy day at school, the elementary school ends early in the afternoon, because Jiang Baichuan is not here, Jiang Caiyun is pregnant, and Qu Jingjiang, an outsider, is not familiar with the local situation. Jiang Xiaoman thought about it and decided to take the job of sending the child home come over.

"I'm going home anyway, by the way!"

In fact, it’s not exactly the same way. Jiang Xiaoman asked those who lived far away. The farthest one had to climb over a mountain and walk for half an hour to get home. Fortunately, people in the mountains are used to walking on mountain roads. The mountains are not particularly high.

Jiang Xiaoman took the flashlight and hatchet from the school, and Jiang Baichuan's pannier, which contained some scattered firecrackers and snake medicine. Everyone has to prepare, it is said that they used to be a place of exile by the imperial court, when those court officials heard that they were going to be exiled here, some even hanged themselves... One can imagine this "smoky place" "How terrible.

But Jiang Xiaoman is not afraid at all. When he was a child, his father went up to the mountain to catch poisonous snakes in order to save his tuition fees. Poisonous snakes can also be sold for money, which is more profitable than selling ordinary herbal medicines.

When school was over, Jiang Xiaoman was followed by a few little radish heads. The villagers were very surprised when they saw it, and asked him why he didn't go back to school. When they heard that there was no class for the next semester of his senior year, the villagers immediately felt sorry for him. ——

"You have to pay tuition fees if you don't attend classes in your senior year? Isn't that cheating students' money? University costs thousands of dollars a year, right? Can I get back this money?"

Jiang Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and then he explained to everyone dumbfounded that he basically had no classes in his senior year because he had completed all the credits ahead of time.At that time, his plan was to finish all the credits before the junior year, so that the senior year would have a whole year to look for a job.

He is different from other students. He has no connections at home to help him. Apart from job fairs and some recruitment information on the website, he has no other channels to find a suitable job. Therefore, he has actually had a very fulfilling life in the past three years. "Yes, all I can do is to accumulate credits.

But who would have thought that if his credits were completed ahead of time, the whole industry would suddenly become cold?

Other companies do not recruit people, what can graduates do?

However, Jiang Xiaoman has always been a character who refuses to admit defeat, if this road doesn't work, let's change another road.

Some time ago in school, he was also thinking about this issue. On the way back from work in the library that night, he happened to catch up with the flea market of their senior students. On a long street, all stalls were set up under the street lights. There are everything, second-hand books, clothes, bags, and even professional notes. Jiang Xiaoman saw a lot of people, and habitually wanted to see if there were drinks bottles nearby to pick up. Spend money to buy a set of things for live broadcast.

Probably because these things are not easy to bring when moving, the price offered by that classmate is almost equal to free gift, selfie stick, background cloth, fill light, microphone, etc., all add up to 100 yuan, Jiang Xiaoman squatted immediately Come down and start bargaining.

Under the unbelievable expression of the female classmate, Jiang finally spent 80 yuan to wrap up this pile of things.

When he went home this time, Jiang Xiaoman brought back this pile of second-hand equipment, but he hadn’t figured out what to do yet, and he needed a computer to edit videos. His second-hand desktop computer was still in the dormitory, so he only I was able to shoot some short videos on my mobile phone, randomly edited them and uploaded them.

The number of clicks is also very touching, often in single digits...

Jiang Xiaoman felt that it was not realistic to make money from self-media, so he had better see if he could catch a few snakes on the way back.

Unexpectedly, the snake has not been seen yet, but the students have sharp eyes and found something better——

"Brother Xiaoman, look! There are so many wild bees over there! There must be a bee nest!"

"Let's go get some wild honey? Take it back and give it to the principal's father!"

The primary school students stood there chattering.

Children in the mountains are very courageous, that is, Jiang Xiaoman, the temporary pick-up teacher, is watching now. Jiang Xiaoman has no doubts. If he is not here at this moment, these brats probably would have rushed over cheering.

However, looking at it like this, the grass nest probably can really get honey. Thinking of the school kitchen where he didn't even find a spoonful of sugar when cooking at noon, Jiang Xiaoman gritted his teeth——

"Fuck! You two older ones are watching them here. I'll get some wet firewood to smoke the bees. If I get honey, I'll cook braised pork for you at noon tomorrow!"

"Can you send a bowl to the principal's father?"

"Yes! Don't run around, if you get stung by a bee, your principal father will scold me to death." Jiang Xiaoman put down the back basket, ran to a farther place to chop some wet firewood, tied a Light it up, and slowly a puff of pungent smoke rises up.

Jiang Xiaoman had already put on his mask, and while opening the way with a machete, he held up a burning firewood. He followed the wild bees back to the nest and walked forward for a while. Sure enough, he saw two bright yellow beehives hidden in a bush. There was also a swarm of wild bees buzzing.

This is a hive that is not yet fully formed!

However, looking at the completely sealed upper half of the two honeycombs, Jiang Xiaoman excitedly clenched the wet firewood in his hand. These two large honeycombs can shake out at least two catties of honey!

Their Langshan Township is located in a remote place. Before the traffic was not developed, the mountain people living in the deep mountains were basically self-sufficient in their lives. For example, in their family, Jiang Xiaoman’s father raised several barrels of bee eggs every year. There are many wild flowers, and a few bee buckets are placed in the forest every year. The honey cut is enough for the whole family to eat all year round, and even the money for buying sugar is saved.

Watching his father take honey since he was a child, Jiang Xiaoman is also familiar with the habits of wild bees. After finding the hive, he did not act rashly, but first protected his hands and face, and then smoked the bees little by little with the smoky wet wood Run, wait until the bees have almost run away, before these little things return, quickly take the machete, cut two pieces of honeycomb along the root, put it in a plastic bag, tie the mouth tightly, and run away!

To cut wild beehives in the wild, the speed must be fast!And you can't be greedy, otherwise if you cut and cut, the wild bees that were smoked away will come back, and it will kill people.Therefore, those who make money by cutting wild honey in their mountains usually travel together with several people. After discovering a large area of ​​wild bee nests, two people are in charge of cutting, and the rest of them have to keep smoking beside them all the time. Wild bees, protecting their mates.

Fortunately, they found not many beehives this time, so Jiang Xiaoman managed it all by himself.

"Run!" Teacher Jiang gave the order, and the kids cheered, and Sa Yazi ran wildly on the path in the mountain, and quickly left the swarm of wild bees behind.

"You guys are still sharp-eyed! Come on, share one piece for each of you, and I'll take the rest back and shake out the honey. I'll give half of it to your principal's father tomorrow, and let's make braised pork with the other half!" Jiang Xiaoman opened the plastic bag and broke it generously A few pieces of beeswax, full of wild honey, were shared with each other.

Jiang Xiaoman hasn't tasted this kind of pure wild honeycomb honey for a long time. He breaks off a piece and puts it in his mouth. After taking a bite, the mellow and sweet honey bursts in his mouth. The wild bees in the mountains in this season are picking all kinds of honey. It is Baihua honey, there are all kinds of flowers, honey that has not been purified and filtered. In fact, the taste is not that purely sweet, but a little bit astringent, but in fact this is the real honey.

After eating honey, they were not willing to spit out the remaining beeswax immediately. Natural beeswax has a good oral cleaning effect, and its function is similar to that of chewing gum. Chew slowly until only residue is left, and then spit it out. After a while, the last one The student who lived the farthest was sent home safely.

Although they are all in the same village, they are not familiar with each other because there are several mountains between them. After saying hello to the parents, Jiang Xiaoman declined the meal and hurried home.

When I got home, it was almost dark, and his father was still squatting on the floor of the main room to dry the tea leaves.
