Reborn in a small mountain village in 1991

The 33rd one is finally going to get rich!

"You're quite good-looking, so I'm relieved to hear that."

After hearing Li Da's words, Xu Chunsheng's anxiety of the past few days was relieved, and he felt relieved.

"Brother Chunsheng, don't forget our promise."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely save the Ophiopogon japonicus for you."

After Xu Chunsheng finished speaking, he didn't wait for Li Da's response on the other end of the phone and hung up the phone with a "click". He glanced at the call duration and thought, "Great, fifty-four seconds. I'll save another dollar."

After the phone call, Xu Chunsheng became excited and couldn't help but clench his right fist and pound his palm, while making strange cheers.

Although his heart was no longer empty, his stomach was now empty, and the belated hunger kept clamoring, urging Xu Chunsheng to eat quickly, even if it was just sweet potatoes, he could probably eat two.

Fueled by excitement and hunger, Xu Chunsheng rushed home, grabbed a cucumber from the kitchen, wiped it on his clothes, and popped it into his mouth.

Xu Chunsheng chewed on a cucumber, casually grabbed a straw hat and put it on his head, then slung a basket over his shoulder and headed towards "San Kuai Bao," where Ophiopogon japonicus was planted.

Today, the Xu family is going to take advantage of the cool weather to harvest the corn from that plot of land.

In addition, Xu Chunsheng also wanted to check the growth of the Ophiopogon japonicus there. Although this field would be exposed to the sun from around 10 a.m. until evening, the corn provided shade, so the Ophiopogon japonicus should be growing well.

When Xu Chunsheng arrived at "San Kuai Bao", he indeed saw that the Ophiopogon japonicus plants were in better condition than when he had visited before.

If you casually dig up a liriope plant by the roadside, you can see that it already has tender white roots underneath.

Xu Chunsheng picked one, poured some water from the bamboo tube to wash away the dirt, and put it in his mouth to chew. It was sweet and refreshing, but the flesh was still too tender and needed more time to grow.

I imagine that by the time this batch of Ophiopogon japonicus matures, its price should have risen, making our lives much easier.

During this period, whenever Xu Chunsheng had free time, he would either go into the mountains to dig up wild Ophiopogon japonicus or stay in the fields to look after the Ophiopogon japonicus and pull out a few weeds along the way.

In addition, Xu Chunsheng also told the people in the brigade that he wanted to buy Ophiopogon japonicus, so after the autumn harvest, many families with free time would go to dig up Ophiopogon japonicus and sell it to Xu Chunsheng.

However, it is usually women who bring their children to dig. They dig a little during their free time each day, and they can earn one or two yuan over several days. Meanwhile, the able-bodied men take advantage of this time to go out and find odd jobs. Xu Chunsheng also received some Ophiopogon japonicus that others sold to him.

The villagers weren't surprised that he wanted to harvest Ophiopogon japonicus. They thought the Xu family might be planning to do this business in the future. Some people were waiting to see the two Xu brothers make a fool of themselves by planting more than three acres of Ophiopogon japonicus, while others thought that their efforts were a waste, as they were not only tiring but also unprofitable. They felt that planting anything else would be better than Ophiopogon japonicus.

Among them were also people like Qian Junwei and You Xiaoxia, who adopted a pretentious, "It's for your own good" attitude and lectured the Xu family:

"You bought so much fertilizer for this Ophiopogon japonicus, don't end up not even making back the money from the fertilizer."

"If you're hoping to make money to get married this way, you might as well pray to God."

……

Xu Chunsheng paid no attention to the teasing or gossip from inside and outside the village. His family, however, worried that he was upset and comforted him, saying, "Don't pay attention to them. As soon as the Ophiopogon japonicus grows, these voices will naturally disappear, and they will be jealous of us."

……

Time flies. After a few autumn winds, the corn stalks in the field were cut down, leaving only knee-high stalks.

With the diligent weeding and hoeing before, and no longer having crops and weeds competing for soil fertility, the liriope muscari grew wildly in the field, clump after clump, completely dominating the Xu family's land.

After the corn harvest, Xu Chunsheng's family seemed to suddenly have a lot of free time. In previous years, they would intercrop sweet potatoes and soybeans in the cornfield, but this year a large part of the land was used to intercrop Ophiopogon japonicus, so there was less work to do, such as pulling out sweet potato vines.

The family also began to have their own time to rest.

Xu's mother often carried a bamboo bag, sometimes containing half-crocheted sweaters, and sometimes insoles she was sewing. She liked to take these with her close friends to chat about everyday things.

Mr. Xu wasn't as fond of chatting as Mrs. Xu, but he had other "pastimes." In his spare time, he would cut down some nan bamboo and ci bamboo, and intermittently added two more baskets, three pairs of dustpans, and a bamboo sieve to the house. He also made a bamboo brush from the extra bamboo strips.

Xu Yaomei's most important thing every day is going to school, but compared to when she used to look forward to going to school, now she only looks forward to going to the ditch with Xiaowei after school to dig for Ophiopogon japonicus, which often makes Xiaowei not get home until dark.

Xu Sandi also successfully entered the second year of junior high school. Unlike Xu Yaomei, he studies and does exercises as soon as he opens his eyes every day.

The title was collected and organized by Tang Changping during his summer vacation when he returned to the city and brought it back to give to Xu Sandi.

Xu Sandi also earned some extra money with these study materials. Just like he used to rent out other people's study materials, he also rented these materials out to others for two cents a set of questions.

Sister Xu's main focus now is raising pigs.

The piglets have grown fatter and fatter, and not only Sister Xu, but even Xu Chunsheng himself would occasionally go to the pigpen to take a look.

Xu Yaomei even said that the little rice noodle had turned into a fat rice noodle.

After feeding the pigs every day, Sister Xu likes to go to the school and listen to the students' classes from outside the window.

Because of this, she also learned some characters. The tuition fee was used to heat up the meals the children brought every day, and also to cook lunch for the three teachers.

During this time, something interesting happened at the school. Previously, the school had two teachers: one was Teacher Yuan, who was mainly responsible for teaching, and the other was Teacher You, who was mainly responsible for teaching labor classes.

Tang Changping was originally invited to be a math teacher, but after only teaching two math classes, he was enthusiastically invited by the original teachers, Mr. Yuan and Mr. You, to teach Chinese instead.

Teacher Yuan is a retired cadre from the brigade. He was originally in charge of the management of the brigade's school, but the teachers who came to teach couldn't stick it out, so he came to teach the children himself. Even after retiring, he has continued to teach the children.

The two teachers from the school said the following:

"Teacher Tang, you are young, a top student, and speak Mandarin very well, unlike us who can't distinguish between h and f. You teach those kids Chinese better than we do."

And so, Tang Changping went from being a math teacher to a Chinese language teacher, and occasionally he also had to take on the roles of art and music teacher.

Before we knew it, the new year had arrived. In March of that year, the Ophiopogon japonicus was ready to be harvested, and Xu Chunsheng began to visit the fields more often.

He recently learned from Li Dali about the latest news regarding the price increase of Ophiopogon japonicus, saying that the price has soared to over twenty yuan.

They just don't know that in their rural area.

This made Xu Chunsheng very happy. Looking at the lilyturf in the field, it was as if he saw not lilyturf, but a field of gold.

He wanted to use the "gold" in this area to completely extinguish the Qian family's hopes and change the fate of his family!
