Chapter Seventy-Five: Harvesting Gastrodia
Early the next morning, Li Xiaobao got up and filled his three-wheeled motorcycle with oil, ready to go to the field to collect gastrodia.
"Dad, Mom, sister-in-law, get in the car!" Li Xiaobao parked the car at the door and patted the back excitedly.
"Okay, I'll also sit on your three-wheeled motorcycle!" Luo Guiying was excited to get on Li Xiaobao's three-wheeled motorcycle, and as soon as she went out of the door, she saw Zhang Shan and Wang Fen coming out of the house with Zhang Ling carrying a hoe.
"Get in the car, uncle!" Li Xiaobao said excitedly waving his hand to Zhang Shan.
"Haha, it's still Xiaobao's future!" Zhang Shan looked at Li Xiaobao and laughed, put the hoe on the car, and then helped Zhang Ling and Wang Fen into the car, and he and Li Detian walked in the back.
By the time the two families arrived at the land, many villagers were already working in the fields.
"Xiaobao, are you going to collect Tianma?" Zhao Laosan's words attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes, Uncle Zhao, I see that your rice is about to be harvested, what's the matter? After harvesting the rice, do you want to plant gastrodia together?" Li Xiaobao said to Zhao Laosan.
"Hehe, as long as you let me plant, of course it's fine!" Zhao Laosan is not a fool, why don't you do things that can make money?
"Xiaobao!" At this time, Li Xiaobao saw Aunt Wang carrying a hoe to his land, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Xiaobao, do you need help to collect gastrodia at home?"
"Of course I need to!" Li Xiaobao knew that Aunt Wang was still worried about Wang Jianjun's affairs a few days ago, and she couldn't wipe her face on her face, and said with a smile.
"Then what do you think I can do to help?" Aunt Wang immediately smiled when she heard that Li Xiaobao did not refuse her kindness.
"Aunt Wang, then you will be responsible for collecting the gastrodia in this trip!" Li Xiaobao said, pointing to the ground under his feet.
"Hey, okay! I'll do a good job for you!" Aunt Wang suddenly became excited when she heard Li Xiaobao's words.
"Hey, Xiaobao, what about mine?" Zhao Laosan also walked in front of Li Xiaobao in order to please Li Xiaobao, and said with an awkward smile.
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, you will be in charge of the trip next to Aunt Wang!" Li Xiaobao didn't expect Zhao Laosan to come over to help, and said with a smile.
"Okay, Xiaobao, then let's talk about it, wait for my rice to be harvested, you must teach me to plant gastrodia!" Zhao Laosan said energetically.
"No problem!" Li Xiaobao was begging for it. In this way, Zhang Ling's condition that each family has an income of more than 100,000 yuan is basically half completed.
With the addition of Luo Guiying and Zhou Cuihua, at this time, Li Xiaobao's field has already gone four times in parallel to start collecting gastrodia.
"Mom, what should we do?" Zhang Ling asked, standing on the ground and looking at Wang Fen. 、
"What should you do? Anyway, we have to wait for Xiaobao to sell together, let's go and collect it from Xiaobao's family first, and then come to collect our family when it's over!" Wang Fen thought that Wu Fengqing was also contacted by Li Xiaobao anyway, and he would first collect Li Xiaobao's family and then collect his own family.
"Okay!" Zhang Ling listened to Wang Fen's words and came to Li Xiaobao's land.
"Hey, auntie, no, you and Zhang Ling can rest for a while!" Li Xiaobao dared to let his future mother-in-law help him work.
"What's the matter, are you afraid that I won't be able to do a good job?" Wang Fen pretended to be angry and glared at Li Xiaobao, and directly began to put it away.
"What are you doing in a daze, hurry up and work!" Zhang Ling glared at him angrily as he watched Li Xiaobao keep wandering around the ground and didn't work, and pointed to the ground and said.
"Okay, good!" Li Xiaobao smiled when he listened to Zhang Ling's words, and began to put it away with Zhang Ling.
After a while, Li Detian and Zhang Shan also arrived on the ground, and Zhang Shan saw that Zhang Ling and Wang Fen were in Li Xiaobao's field, and walked over with a slight smile.
"Hey, Xiaobao, how did you collect the hemp so quickly!" When everyone had just collected half of it, Widow Liu came out on her shoulder.
"Yes, Aunt Liu, what are you doing here?" Li Xiaobao knew that Widow Liu did not farm, and since her husband died, her family's land was deserted, and finally contracted to others, charging a little contract fee every year.
What's the matter today? The sun came out of the west, and Widow Liu actually went down to the ground with a hoe?
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Widow Liu looked at Li Xiaobao and smiled, and said, "What's the matter?
"Oh, auntie, what are you talking about!" Before Li Xiaobao finished speaking, Widow Liu had already gone to the field and started working, which made the whole village feel a burst of surprise.
"Village chief, village chief, I'm here to help you collect gastrodia!" When it was almost noon, Zhang Laicai ran towards the field excitedly with a hoe.
"Zhang Laicai, you're too bad, aren't you? It's noon, what are you doing here?" Widow Liu knew that Zhang Laicai was stealing and playing tricks, and said very angrily.
"I'm here to help the village chief collect gastrodia! What's wrong?" Zhang Laicai said seriously.
"Okay, then you can collect it!" Widow Liu pointed to Zhang Shan's field, which suddenly made Zhang Laicai dumbfounded.
Originally, Zhang Laicai thought that Zhang Shan's land for a total of three people could be harvested in the morning, and he could go back to eat when he came, but he didn't expect that at this time, Zhang Shan's family was collecting gastrodia in Li Xiaobao's field, and Li Xiaobao's gastrodia was almost harvested, and the gastrodia in their field didn't move.
"Go, you're going, aren't you helping your village chief collect gastrodia?" Widow Liu glared at Zhang Laicai with great disdain.
"Hehe, you can't say that, originally I was thinking of helping the village chief's family collect it first and then helping Xiaobao's family collect it, since everyone is here at Xiaobao's house, it will save me trouble, who to help first, don't you help! Detian, don't you say?" Zhang Laicai said and deliberately raised his voice and yelled at Li Detian.
"What are you yelling at? Do it if you want to, if you don't do it, it's cool!" Before Li Detian could speak, Zhang Ling snorted at Zhang Laicai, blushing his face, and hurriedly got to work.
When it was almost noon, basically every family in the whole village had someone to come to Li Xiaobao's field to help harvest gastrodia, one of them was because the village came to help, and the other reason was to see how the harvest of gastrodia was growing.
At noon, Wang Fen and Luo Guiying took Zhou Cuihua and Zhang Ling to let Li Xiaobao drive the motorcycle three wheels back first, and they wanted to prepare lunch for the people who came to help.
"Uncles and uncles, I'm sorry at noon today, because they will come to collect gastrodia in the afternoon, and we will have a meal in the field, my father said that I will sell gastrodia in the evening and invite you to have a good meal!" Li Xiaobao watched the motorcycle tricycle deliver the food directly to the ground, and said to everyone.
