Li Shucai didn't think much of it when he saw the gunny sack Chen Yong handed over.
In the past, Chen Yong would bring some things back every time he came back. He had said many times that he did not need them, but Chen Yong still did as he pleased every time. As time passed, he slowly got used to it.
The main thing was that the things that Chen Yong brought with him every time were not considered expensive.
Li Shucai had long treated Chen Yong as a relative, a filial piety from a junior.
But this time, it was completely different from before. When he opened the sack and took a look, his mouth was instantly wide open in shock. After a long while, he regained his senses and said seriously," Da Yong, these things are too precious. Uncle can't accept them. When you go back, bring them all back."”
"Uncle, take what I give you." Chen Yong shook his head helplessly, as if he had expected this situation.
In the past, the things he brought with him were not worth much because the conditions at that time were just like that. Compared to Uncle Li's kindness, he felt that it could not be measured by materials.
"No, these things are too precious.”
Li Shucai was a man of principle. No one had a good life these days. He did not think that it would be easy for Chen Yong to take out these things.
"Uncle, I forgot to tell you that I'm now an official doctor at the Red Star Rolling Mill.”In order to convince Li Shucai, Chen Yong could only use his job and salary to persuade him." I now earn 36 yuan a month. Uncle, don't worry and take it. It's not too difficult for me to get these."”
"Do you really think I'm ignorant?" Li Shucai said unhappily," Even if you earn 36 yuan a month, these things add up to almost your monthly salary.”
"Uncle, just accept it. At most, I'll take less next time, okay?”
"You…"
"Old man, who's here?"
At this moment, Aunt Li suddenly came out of the house. When she saw Chen Yong, she immediately said in surprise," Da Yong, you're finally here to see me."”
"Good…good. You look more energetic than before.”
Aunt Li walked up to Chen Yong in a few steps and sized him up. The joy in her eyes could not be hidden at all. Then, she saw the gunny sack and immediately reprimanded him," Child, how many times have I told you not to bring anything back? Why didn't you listen?"”
"Old woman, you should take a look at the things inside first.”
Hearing this, Aunt Li went over to take a look.
Just like Li Shucai's reaction, she was also shocked. When she returned to her senses, she immediately said firmly," Old man, this is too expensive. We can't accept it."”
Without waiting for the two elders to say anything, Chen Yong quickly went forward and said aggrievedly," Aiya, please take pity on me this time. I brought these things from afar. Can you accept them? I promise I won't bring so many things next time."”
"You…sigh…"
Chen Shucai sighed. He had known Chen Yong for a long time and knew that since this child had already brought the things, he would definitely not take them away.
"Old woman, take the things.”
"But…"
"Alright, you don't understand Da Yong. No matter what, it's his kind intention. We'll just remember it.”
"Sigh, you child, what do you want me to say?”Aunt Li sighed." I'll let it go this time. Next time, don't bring such expensive things over. Do you hear me?"”
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Chen Yong nodded happily.
"You child." Aunt Li shook her head helplessly." What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you."”
"Dumplings. I've been craving for them for a year.”
"Alright, then let's eat dumplings for lunch.”
Chen Yong was like his own child to the two elders. Which adult would not be willing to satisfy their own child's craving? Aunt Li picked up the sack and walked into the house, preparing to make dumplings for Chen Yong.
Aunt Li entered the house, followed by Li Shucai and Chen Yong.
"Aren't Second Brother Li and the others at home?"
Sitting in the house, Chen Yong realized that the sons of the Li family did not seem to be at home.
"They entered the mountain early in the morning to set up a trap. They should be back in a while.”
Li Shucai had two sons.
The eldest, Li Jianjun, was 27 years old this year. He was the captain of Shanqian Village and had been married for several years. He was now living in the courtyard next door with his wife and had a son.
Li Jianguo, the second son, was 19 years old this year. He was still living with his parents.
Chen Yong had a very good relationship with the two brothers of the Li family, especially Li Jianguo. When he lived in the village, he basically hunted with Li Jianguo every day. The two brothers of the Li family had learned from the old hunter Uncle Ma in the village since they were young. Both of them were very good at hunting.
Life in the countryside was not easy these days.
It was already good enough to be full. As for meat and fish, that was basically a luxury.
However, there was an old saying that went," The mountain depends on the mountain, and the water depends on the water." Shanqian Village was located on the outskirts of Yanjing Mountain Range. The mountain was rich in resources, and most of the villagers had some hunting skills. When they were not busy, the villagers would go up the mountain to find ways to hunt some wild game.
Of course, hunting wild game was not easy.
After all, they were not professional hunters, so most of the villagers did not harvest much every year.
The only people in the village who could often get game were the two old hunters. Moreover, most villagers were reluctant to eat the game they caught. Most of them would sell the pigeons in the city for money.
Food in the countryside did not cost money, but life was not just about food. Clothes, daily necessities, and so on needed money.
After chatting with Li Shu for a while, Chen Yong began to talk about the reason for his return this time." Uncle Li, other than coming to see you, I actually have something I need your help with.”
"There are too many workers in the rolling mill that I'm working at now. The supply and marketing cooperative's supply to the canteen is seriously insufficient. In order to supplement the nutrition of the workers, the factory's leaders asked some of us to find connections to buy supplies.”
"That's why I thought of our village.”
"Every family in our village raises chickens, so I was thinking of buying some eggs back. Moreover, every family in our village has a lot of mountain products, and we can hunt some wild animals from time to time.”
"Uncle, can you help me talk to him?”
Chen Yong had thought of this reason long ago. Using the rolling mill as an excuse, presumably no one would doubt it.
After hearing this, Li Shucai thought for a moment." It should be fine if you want to take the things, but what's the price? I'll help you tell everyone if I know the price.”
A few days ago, Chen Yong had asked around about the price." Two eggs for one. There's no limit to the size.”
"Two points. Why don't you look at the specifications?"
Li Shucai was a little surprised. The price of the eggs purchased by the supply and marketing cooperative was one cent, and there were rules on the size. If they did not meet the specifications, they would reduce the price.
At this time, people did not have enough to eat. Chickens ate grass or found their own food, so the eggs they laid were not big. Many of them did not meet the regulations, which led to the average price of eggs in the village being far less than one cent.
Now, Chen Yong was not only collecting eggs for two portions, but he also did not set a standard. This was definitely a great thing for the villagers.
"In addition to eggs, I will buy chicken, game, and mountain products. The price will be based on the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative.”
In fact, the purchase price of the supply and marketing cooperative was very low.
Chen Yong bought it at a high price, and the profit was also high enough.
He knew about the situation in Shanqian Village. Everyone's life was not very good. If he paid a little more money to buy it, it would allow everyone to have a good New Year this year. He would treat it as thanking the villagers for taking care of him back then.
