Zhou Mo went to the mouth of the mountain spring to receive a bucket of spiritual spring water, poured all the vegetable patches in front of the door, then closed his eyes, opened his arms, and took a few deep breaths in the gentle orange light of the setting sun.

Yang Laojiu and Yang Xiaoman climbed up from the bottom of the slope, and Yang Laojiu asked, "Xiaomo, what are you doing?" ”

Zhou Mo opened his eyes and said, "Grandpa, uncle, you're back!" I'm getting a breath of fresh air.

The air here smells so good.

I used to hear that there were people in the city who bought rural air online, and I didn't believe it, but now I do. ”

The air in the city is relatively turbid.

The city is easily accessible, and there are many passing vehicles, and the exhaust fumes emitted every day can raise the concentration of air pollution by one degree.

There are also all kinds of soot and particulate matter from the factory, as well as the smell of decay from the sewers.

There is really no comparison with the air in the countryside.

Yangjiawan is sparsely populated, there are either rice fields or rolling mountains and forests nearby, the air is fresh and the oxygen content is high.

Yang Laojiu smiled and said, "Really? Can air still be sold for money? This is the first time my grandfather has heard of it. Then you suck more, in front of your grandfather's door, no one will ask you for money. ”

Yang Laojiu said as he entered the kitchen.

Lin Chunhua saw Yang Laojiu coming in, and hurriedly asked, "What did Xiao Jian say?" ”

Yang Laojiu was in a good mood and said with a smile: "If you go the morning after tomorrow, you will be at Xiaojian's house." I heard Xiao Jian say that it was his daughter-in-law's classmates who first fell in love with our Xiaoman, and then asked his daughter-in-law to say that he agreed. This time it should be stable. ”

Lin Chunhua was also very surprised when she heard it: "Is this true?" ”

Yang Laojiu nodded: "Xiao Jian did say so. But we have to pretend we don't know. ”

"Yes, yes, the girl's family is thin-skinned......"

While chopping vegetables, Lin Chunhua began to plan what clothes she should wear the day after tomorrow, what gifts to bring, and what she should say when she meets other girls in order to give Yang Xiaoman extra points.

And Yang Xiaoman, the protagonist of the blind date, squatted down next to Zhou Mo, sighed, and said: "If the air in this mountain can really be sold for money, how good!" ”

He was stumped by money.

After Yang Xiaoman failed the college entrance examination at the age of eighteen, he went to Changshan City to work and worked in the factory for five years.

For five years, a total of 1,827 days, the same movements were repeated on the assembly line......

Workers often say half-jokingly and half-bitterly: "Chasing souls and killing the assembly line, dark ghost workshop, life and death cycle two shifts, no words in the waste of sleep and food, overtime without a salary increase......"

But even so, in five years, in addition to daily expenses, he only saved less than 70,000 yuan. That's still the number he saved while he was frugal.

70,000 yuan is really a lot in the eyes of Yangjiawan people, enough for him to marry a daughter-in-law.

According to the market at that time, the bride price for marrying a daughter-in-law was about 30,000 yuan. Hold a banquet, play three golds, wrap red envelopes, and buy candy...... In total, 40,000 yuan is enough. If you meet someone who can calculate, maybe there will be seven or eight thousand left.

But Yang Xiaoman felt that it was not enough.

It's enough to marry someone else's girl. But after marrying in, you have to be able to afford to support someone!

And when you get married, you should have children, and it costs a lot of money to raise children.

He thought that he was only twenty-three years old, and he was still young, and it was not too late to wait two years before marrying a daughter-in-law.

In the past two years, he has tried to work more overtime and save a little more money.

But the plan can't keep up with the changes.

It was very cold that winter, and his father suffered an acute myocardial infarction, and he fell to the ground and never got up again. His mother followed him shortly after......

After losing his parents, he completed the funeral for his parents with the help of his uncle and aunt, and he was depressed for a long time.

He returned to the village and spent the whole day at home watching TV.

One day, his uncle Yang Laojiu rushed into his house, dragged him out of the house with a beard, stuffed him with two baskets of fresh vegetables that had just been picked from the field, and asked him to go out for a walk and help pick the vegetables to sell in Qingjiang County.

He didn't dare not listen to his uncle's words, so he went to the Qingjiang County Farmers' Market with two baskets of vegetables.

This time he sold vegetables, so he found a business opportunity.

People in the city are tired of eating the greenhouse vegetables on the market stalls, not to say that they are all caused by fertilizers and hormones, and they taste wrong.

They love to buy what the rural people grow at home, preferably with insect eyes.

The same pound of cabbage, the same price, no one in the market stall bought it, and the ones in his basket were sold out in less than five minutes.

After returning to the village, he mentioned it and felt that he should be able to make a lot of money by collecting vegetables and selling them in the county.

But the uncle told him to dismiss this idea immediately.

How to transport the vegetables to the county when they are harvested? Buying a tricycle? That's not going to work, it's too dangerous to drive on such a steep road every day!

Uncle didn't let him, so he had to suppress this thought.

He did not continue to be depressed, but went to work in the factory with his bag on his back.

But the part-time job is too slow to save money, and it can't keep up with the speed of the bride price increase......

And the part-time job is very unfree, like this time the uncle is sick, he wants to take a few days off to accompany the uncle and the aunt to the city hospital to see a doctor, but the factory leaders do not approve.

He had no choice but to leave his job voluntarily without the salary of more than half a month.

He is now unemployed, and he is on a blind date, and he doesn't know if the money he saved is enough to pay the bride price that the other party wants.

Zhou Mo looked at Yang Xiaoman's sad face and said, "Uncle, the air in the mountains can really be sold for money." Wang Lili in our class bought it and brought it to the school to show us.

I took a pink plastic bag and sealed it, and there was a beautiful cardboard box on the outside. Wang Lili said that she would ask for 5 yuan a bag. ”

Yang Xiaoman didn't believe it, and seeing that Zhou Mo was serious, he said, "You probably deceived someone." ”

Zhou Mo said: "Wang Lili will not deceive people, their family is very rich, she has not only bought the air in the mountains, but also been to what kind of farmhouse, that is, playing in a small mountain village, fishing, eating farm food, learning from mountain people to farm and farm or something."

She also bought a piece of land in that small mountain village for 500 yuan, and that piece of land was marked with her name.

She took a lot of pictures there, and all of our classmates saw it.

Judging from the photos, there are a lot of people in the city who go there to play. ”

Yang Xiaoman scratched his head and asked, "Really?" ”

Zhou Mo nodded: "Of course." ”

Zhou Mo said with some disgust: "I see that the small mountain village in that photo is not as beautiful as half of our Yangjiawan."

There is no mountain spring that comes out of the spring at the first shout, there is no beautiful little waterfall, there is no whole flowering orchard, even the fishing place is just a small ditch, unlike ours, there is a big reservoir ......"

Yang Xiaoman's heart is active, if this is the case, then Yangjiawan can also engage in that kind of farmhouse!

The more Yang Xiaoman thought about it, the brighter the light in his eyes became. But when he thought of the car crash last year, he turned the light in his eyes again.

If this road is not repaired, no guests will come. But selling farmhouse food is really good!

Yang Xiaoman had a plan in his heart, stood up and stretched, followed Zhou Mo's previous appearance, took a few breaths of fresh air in the mountains, and said, "It's all money!" ”
