"No," said Liu Qingshan. "Aunt, you just pile bricks honestly. I am so strong and young. Pulling this little thing is easier than farting. You don't have to be embarrassed, just pile bricks with peace of mind. I am a careless person. I can do heavy work, but pile bricks with bad luck."

Since that was the case, Agui's mother stopped sticking to it and continued to pile bricks, but she piled them harder and faster.

At the end of the day, she piled up all the bricks.

Liu Qingshan was surprised: "Aunt, you can't do this. You work too fast and you must be slower. Otherwise, if you get tired, no one will help me with work."

"Haha, it's okay, just pile up bricks, it's not a big job." Agui's mother smiled, "You can do such heavy work, and I won't have to make a brick."

Seeing that Agui's mother's expression had not changed much, Liu Qingshan felt a little relieved.

The materials were all pulled up and the bricks were piled up. After that, we started digging the foundation.

Because the excavator cannot come up, he can only dig it by himself.

Liu Qingshan took Agui's mother to dig the foundation. After digging for a day, the foundation was formed. After that, he went down to the foundation and started a house.

Although it is just a chicken coop, Liu Qingshan made it more meticulously and tried to use the best materials to do the best work.

In this way, the chicken coop was completed more than ten days later.

Of course, the template cannot be removed, but the floor has been sealed, so the chicken coop is completed. In a few days, after the template is removed, it can be put into use.

This was the last day of the construction of the chicken coop. In order to celebrate the completion of the chicken coop, Liu Qingshan asked his father to go to the town to buy vegetables.

Because it happened to be the weekend, Qingshan even called Agui and his brothers.

When Ahua, who was a few years older than Agui, came to the house, Wu Cuimei was so happy. She pulled Ahua to ask questions, as if she wanted to turn Ahua into her own daughter.

Liu Qingshan said funny: "Mom, Ah Hua is in the third year of junior high school. Just ask so many strange questions, don't be fooled."

"You are stupid." Wu Cuimei saw her son Luo Li disturbing her conversation with Ah Hua, and said angrily, "Cook your meal well and don't talk."

Liu Qingshan stuck out his tongue and shut up.

Ah Hua is a few years older than Ah Gui. She is currently in the third year of junior high school. If nothing unexpected happens, she can go to high school next semester.

Ah Hua is taller than Ah Gui, fatter and whiter. However, because she is a rural girl and her family is not in good condition, she does not look like she is so-called graceful and elegant, giving people more simplicity and naturalness.

Her face is round and very fleshy, and her eyes are like Agui's, always shining with light.

When the adults cook, she started to work on the side and was very diligent.

After a while of busy work, we finally came to the most exciting part - eating.

Because the ingredients in the town are limited, there are only some common dishes on the table today, such as pepper stuffed, buckled pork, bullfrog, sweet and sour carp, roast duck, salt-baked chicken, etc.

Although these dishes are ordinary, they are rare for Ahua and Agui to taste.

The siblings looked at the table full of food, and their already twinkling eyes became brighter and brighter.

However, compared to the brother and sister who are interested in meat, Liu Qingshan is more interested in a plate of fresh bracken on the table.

"Dad, is this the bracken you picked back in the morning?"

Although the bracken on the table was also served on a plate, it was pitifully small. If you were to let Liu Qingshan eat it with bloody mouths, it would be a bite or two.

Liu Yuanhe was very happy that his son saw his masterpiece first - a plate of bracken with some scorch.

He said happily: "Yes, I picked it in the morning."

"Why are there bracken now?" Agui's mother asked in confusion, "Isn't it going to be there in previous years before it will take some time."

"I picked it in the old forest. It was warmer and the bracken grew faster." Liu Yuanhe explained, "There are no mountains around our village yet, but if you go a little further and you will have a higher mountain."

"No wonder, I said that when I was digging bamboo shoots, I hadn't seen bracken before. It's only been ten days before you can find such beautiful bracken." Agui's mother laughed, "When the weather is warmer, the bracken in the mountains has risen, and you can pick bracken and sell it."

"Yes, in the past few years, bracken could be sold for more than ten yuan per pound." Liu Yuanhe immediately remembered the story of picking bracken and selling it before.

So, on the dining table, everyone was eating delicious food while listening to Liu Yuanhe, the bragging king, telling his past stories.

Especially Agui and Ahua, the two children are simple-minded and are particularly prone to being deceived. Several stories are known to be fake and boasting when they hear them, but the two children listen with relish and say they are magical.

Liu Qingshan looked at the two of them and smiled helplessly. Such children are the most likely to be abducted.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan began to calculate wages with Agui's mother.

Liu Qingshan said: "Aunt, as we said before, the daily wage is 200 yuan. If you have worked for twelve days, that is 2,400 yuan."

After saying that, Liu Qingshan handed Agui's mother a stack of red banknotes.

Twelve days, two thousand four.

Agui's mother looked at the banknotes in Qingshan's hand in a daze, and forgot to reach out to pick them up.

Agui reminded: "Mom, take it quickly."

Agui's mother came to her senses and quickly reached out to take over the heavy stack of banknotes.

The banknotes themselves are not heavy, but the friendship between Qingshan is important.

Although Agui's mother didn't say anything, she knew very well that the reason why she was able to get this reward was not entirely because of her hard work, but because the child Qingshan was kind-hearted.

Even if she had never worked in another place, she knew that according to the local labor price, it would be impossible to have so much money to do twelve days of work.

Not to mention anything else, just help people pick oranges, the salary is only 60 yuan a day, and a better boss gives you seventy yuan, and he doesn't care about food.

Because in such a mountain village, the most in short supply is labor.

If Qingshan openly looks for workers, it will cost 100 yuan a day, and there will be a lot of people working on it, let alone 200 yuan.

Therefore, Agui's mother knew very well that she could get so much reward not because of her own efforts, but also because of Liu Qingshan's friendship.

She said gratefully and emotionally: "Qingshan, thank you. If it weren't for you, my aunt wouldn't have saved so much money even if she digs bamboo shoots for a month."

"Brother Qingshan, thank you." The two children also thanked him.

This made Liu Qingshan from Ma Daha feel a little embarrassed.

Alas, although I have always been a kind person and have been thanked by many people, it is the first time that the family has said thank you to him at the same time.

He grabbed the back of his head and laughed, "Haha, what are you thanks? This is all earned by your mother's hard work and it has nothing to do with me. Remember, your mother works hard every day to support you in order to study, so you must work hard, do you know?"

Agui nodded vigorously: "Well, Brother Qingshan, don't worry, I will definitely study hard. When I grow up in the future, I will definitely work hard to repay my mother."

Ah Hua didn't say anything, she just smiled.

Because the road was difficult to walk at night, Liu Qingshan drove Agui's family to another village.

When he got home, before his butt was sitting on the stool, Liu Yuanhe asked: "Qingshan, what are you going tomorrow?"

Liu Qingshan looked at his father suspiciously: "What are you asking about this?"

"Hehe, if you have nothing to do, go with me to open the way."

"Cleaning the way?" Liu Qingshan was a little confused, "What road is it?"

Liu Yuanhe said in a longing, "I'm thinking, your second grandfather is still picking pine resin every year. I saw that our pine wood has grown up, so I want to open the road to pick pine resin this year. In the year, I can save 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, don't you?"

"No need." Liu Qingshan was not happy with his father doing this.

Because it is too hard to pick rosin, although my dad is getting better and better now, he is almost fifty years old. Just take care of the orange forest. There is really no need to pick any rosin.

"Why is there no need? The pine trees in our house are already very tall and can be picked. " Liu Yuanhe said, "If I don't pick them now, I will not be able to pick them in a few years. I don't want to be like your second grandfather, who is still picking them in seventy and eighty years old. If you want to pick them, take advantage of the fact that they are not old now and quickly pick them for a few years."

"Oh, it's really unnecessary." Liu Qingshan rejected, "Just take care of your oranges, and your family is not short of your money. Besides, like our new pine wood forest, if you want to pick pine resin, you have to build roads, which is so troublesome."

"It's because of the trouble that I want you to build the road together." Liu Yuanhe said, "Look, now, you don't dig bamboo shoots and the chicken coop is built. You have nothing to do next. So why not follow me to build the road. When the road is repaired, you will learn to pick rosin with me. Otherwise, you will have nothing to do and will be idle all day long and let the villagers gossip."

Liu Qingshan smiled.

It turned out that it was a fake that my father said he was going to build a road. He was afraid that his son would be idle, and that he would be gossiped about by the villagers.

"You care what others say." Liu Qingshan said, "and don't eat other people's food, what others say, what do you care about?"

Liu Yuanhe was a little unhappy when he saw his son so stubborn: "Then you have nothing to do anyway, can you go with me and find something to do well?"

"Who said I had nothing to do?"

"Now that the bamboo shoots are no longer dug, the chicken coop is built. What else do you have to do?" Liu Yuanhe asked angrily.

"I'm going to pick bracken tomorrow."

"Pick bracken?"

"Yes, pick bracken."

"It's okay, why are you picking bracken?" Liu Yuanhe became even more unhappy when he heard his son's words. He thought it was just an excuse his son made temporarily. "Although bracken is delicious, you go to pick bracken in order not to work. This is too ignorant."

"Dad." Liu Qingshan shouted speechlessly, "I didn't pick bracken to eat."

"Not for food?" Liu Yuanhe said suspiciously, "Do you still want to sell it?"

"I just want to sell it." Liu Qingshan also said with a little longing, "I have thought about it. If the forests near our village have not grown ferns, then the same will be true in other villages. Then, as long as I can pick ferns, I can definitely sell them at a high price, just like the bitter winter bamboo shoots before. As long as I take the lead, I can make money."

Listening to his son's plan, Liu Yuanhe had some undeniable appreciation, but also had some questions: "The problem is that no one else can find it, so why can you find it?"

Liu Qingshan said with a funny look: "Dad, it's not that others can't find it, but that others don't want to look for it. Didn't you say that you have to go deep into the mountains to find bracken, so others will definitely feel it's not worth it, so they naturally don't want to look for it."

Moreover, ordinary people cannot go back and forth to the mountains within one day, and pick ferns one by one.

Therefore, Liu Qingshan knew very well that as long as he seized this opportunity, he would definitely make another profit.

In this way, before dawn in the morning, he set out quietly like he had entered the deep mountains to look for honey before.
