Chapter 459: Stone's 'Ambition'

Although the mountain road is very rough, these people are used to walking the mountain road since childhood, so it is very easy to walk, even if it is pushing a cart of goods, they still do not feel how hard it is.

In fact, really speaking, they also suffered a lot when they worked outside, at the beginning, they were stunned and didn't understand anything, so they had to follow a businessman to carry a big bag, and the other party also bullied them as fugitives, the wages were very low, only enough for ordinary food and drink, as for wanting to rent a house to live, it was impossible at all, fortunately, the weather was hot at the time, and they were all men, so they just found a broken house that no one lived in for a month.

Later, after touching the way, they entered the tea factory where they are now working, although the owner of this tea factory is also very treacherous, but it is much better than the previous businessman, the salary is seventy percent of that of other workers, plus some bonuses and the like, they can also get more than 700 wen per month, in addition to spending more than 100 wen per month for food and accommodation, but can also leave more than 500 wen, four months together just over two points, if it is not for the fear of being found by the government during the New Year, they can still earn more in the last month.

But two times it was enough, and after exchanging the money for all kinds of daily necessities, they went to the carriage factory to pick up some broken wheels and repair them, and cut wood to build these wheelbarrows themselves. They are all fugitives, and they have to rely on themselves for everything in the mountains, so almost everyone can do these simple carpentry jobs.

Pushing the wheelbarrow he had made, Shi looked at the surroundings again, and found that they were not far from home, and as long as they climbed over this mountain beam, they could see their stockade. In addition, the road on the other side of the mountain has also been repaired by the stockade, and it is much easier to walk than the road under their feet. At that time, you can get home in the time of a cup of tea at most. Thinking of his parents and a few younger siblings at home, Shi also felt hot in his chest. I can't wait to fly home right away.

After turning over the mountain in front of them, what appeared in front of them was a much wider road, although it was not as good as the cement road in the town where they worked, but it was built inch by inch by the people of their village. And at the end of this road, there is a village built on high ground, here is the stone village where they were born, and there are about a hundred families in the whole village, and there are five or six hundred men, women and children combined. It's a medium-sized village.

Because the road is relatively far, when they arrive at the stone village, it is already sunset, and it is winter now, so there is no one working in the fields reclaimed on both sides of the road, which makes the stone they have been to the entrance of the village, only to be discovered by some villagers, but when these villagers see that it is the stone who has been away from the village for more than half a year, they are all surprised. While coming up to say hello, there were also people who went to inform their families.

"Stinky boy, you dare to come back!" Just as Shi and the others were chatting with the villagers they knew about their experiences when they went out to work, suddenly there was a burst of cheers from the crowd outside. Then an old man with a hunting bow and a basket of arrows on his back rushed in, and when he saw the pier. Raise the bow in your hand and strike.

This old man dressed as a hunter is the father of Dunzi, and he is also a famous hunter in the village. It's just that his family doesn't have a prosperous heir and gives birth to a bunch of daughters. At the age of forty, he had the baby son of Dunzi, so he has always been extremely doting, but unfortunately Dunzi was restless, and they ran out with the stone, and almost killed the old man.

Dunzi was bragging about his work in the town with his companions in several villages, when he saw the bow in the old man's hand, he threw the car in his hand in fright, and hurriedly hid behind the others, and begged for mercy while dodging: "Daddy, don't fight, my son has made a lot of money this time, and he has brought you the strongest wine, which is all for your old heart!" ”

The so-called Zhizi Mo Ruo's father, this sentence is about the same in turn, as soon as he heard Dunzi mention a word wine, and it was the strongest wine, he immediately stopped the old hunter who was addicted to alcohol, only to see him swallow his saliva and say: "Well, even if your kid has filial piety, where is the wine?" I'll try it first! ”

Seeing that Dad was still as addicted to alcohol as ever, Dunzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately jumped over and opened a small bag on his wheelbarrow, but the people around found that the small bag was still mated with thatch, and the thatch was peeled away, which revealed a small wine jar, this wine jar is not only exquisite, but also burned with three big characters on it, and people who know the words exclaimed: "Five kings are drunk!" ”

The old hunter was also startled when he heard this, and hurriedly snatched the small wine jar over, and then hugged it in his arms like a son, and at the same time leaned his nose over to smell it, although the mud seal of the wine jar had not yet been opened, but there was still a trace of wine fragrance coming out of the bottle.

"Good! Wine! Sure enough, it was the legendary Five Kings drunk! Hahaha~"The old hunter hasn't drunk yet, but he has already begun to go crazy with alcohol, holding the wine jar and starting to laugh wildly, and he has no time to take care of the pier anymore."

And Dunzi was secretly relieved, and at the same time there was a little pain in the flesh, don't look at this wine jar is not big, but this five kings drunk is the top wine in the Tang Dynasty, as long as it is a drinker, there is no one who does not know its name, although the altar he bought is the cheapest kind of the five kings drunk series, but it also cost him a hundred Wen, which is dozens of buckets of food!

Dunzi had just finished getting his father, and at this time, Shi's parents and several younger siblings, as well as the families of the monkey and others also came, but their reaction was much better than that of the old hunter, although they kept complaining about their son, but after seeing that they all came back safely, and brought back so many things, it seemed that they had indeed made money outside, so they didn't say anything anymore.

For this almost isolated rocky village, it is already a big deal for them to come back from the outside world, and they also want to know the experience of the stone in the outside world, so at the moment each family has come up with a few dishes, and then put down a few tables of wine banquets on the threshing floor, although they are all small dishes of the farmhouse, and most of the wine is home-brewed water wine, but as long as it is a meaning, it is okay.

The protagonists of the banquet were naturally Shi Shi and others, so more than a dozen of them sat at the wine table, and then began to tell the villagers around them about their experiences when they went out, although there were inevitably some exaggerations, and even some hearsay, but they also made the villagers listen to it with fascination.

It wasn't until the last two watches that the wine and food on the table had already been eaten, and the stones had almost told them all about what they had experienced, which made the villagers unsatisfied.

After Shi followed his father home, he found that his mother and younger siblings had not yet slept, and when he saw the eldest brother coming back, several small ones all gathered around, and shouted one by one, in fact, he just wanted to ask him for gifts. As for the parents of the stone, they stood there smiling and watching their children fight.

The stone's parents were younger than the old hunter, but because of the years of labor, they looked much older than they were, and even older than the old hunter. They fled from the Central Plains, and there was an older brother on the stone, but unfortunately his brother was only three years old at the time, and he did not pass on the road, but died on the road, until his parents settled here, and then there was him, as well as two younger brothers and three younger sisters.

Shi quarreled with his younger siblings for a while, and then opened the large bag he had brought with him, which included the salt and some iron farming tools that the family needed most, as well as new clothes for his mother and sisters, all of which were bought from the newly opened garment store, which were more expensive than buying cloth, but they were more beautiful than those made by himself.

In addition, there were a few pairs of shoes for my father, and the old man's favorite sauce mutton, as for the younger brothers, there were no new clothes, after all, the clothes in the ready-to-wear store were too expensive, so the stone just pulled some cotton cloth, and planned to ask the mother to make a set for the father and younger brother, but he also brought a lot of snacks to the younger brother, including a dozen bottles of canned food.

Originally, Shi wanted to open the can for his younger siblings to satisfy their cravings, but his father stopped him, saying that it was such a good thing, and it would be too wasteful to eat it, so it was better to keep it for the New Year to entertain relatives.

However, although the stone father said so, but in the eager eyes of the children, in the end, his heart softened, and let the stone pick a bottle of canned food to open, and the stone opened one of the bottles of braised pork, and then let the father and the younger brothers and sisters, but unfortunately the stone father and mother only tasted one piece, and then said that it was really delicious, so he stopped eating it, and let a few little guys eat the rest.

After sending a few little ones to sleep, Shi and his father did not sleep, but began to talk to his father and mother about his experience when he went out, although he had already spoken in front of the villagers before, but there were some things that could not be said to outsiders, so what Shi said now is his real experience.

After listening to the stone's story, Shi's father glanced at his wife, and then asked his son: "Shishi, you have seen the world outside, and now your father wants to ask you, after the Chinese New Year, do you still plan to work outside?" ”

Stone is the head of the young people in the village, and he is more assertive than ordinary people, for the future, he has already planned, so when he heard his father's question, he immediately said: "Dad, I found that the money outside is not difficult to earn, as long as there are hands and feet, just working can support the family, I plan to work in the tea factory for a few years, and then accumulate some money, and then work with them in the dunzi, at that time we want people, technology and technology, and tea is not worried about sales, then it will definitely be able to let my father and mother live a life without worrying about food and clothing!" ”

When the stone said to the end, there was also an ambition in his eyes, this young man from a fugitive background had already had his own dreams after experiencing the outside world. But then his face darkened, and he said in a low tone: "But if we want to set up a factory, we have a huge difficulty, if we don't want to solve this difficulty, even if we work for others for a lifetime, I'm afraid we won't be able to open a factory!"
