Chapter 107
Sure enough, after Li Daozheng came back, the bag was still empty, with nothing in it.
From his depressed expression, one can see the result of this trip.
However, Jiang Xiurong still couldn't help asking: "How is it? Did you find that cucumber?"
Li Daozheng put down the bag in his hand, and said depressingly: "Don't mention it, I picked a lot of cucumbers, but unfortunately they are all ordinary cucumbers, nothing special. It seems that my guess is right, it may be a very few It mutated, and Li Xiao picked it up."
Hearing Li Daozheng's words, Jiang Xiurong couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
She is not a glutton, but there is no way, the cucumber Li Xiao made tastes really good.
"Hey, after eating the cucumbers in the morning, can I still eat ordinary cucumbers?" Jiang Xiurong said with some concern.
Indeed, her worry was exactly what Li Daozheng was worried about.
Li Daozheng smiled wryly: "This person is more deadly than others, and he has to throw away when comparing goods. Compared with the cucumbers in the morning, the ordinary cucumbers I eat have no taste at all."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiurong seemed to realize something, she suddenly asked: "Where are those cucumbers you picked?"
Li Daozheng shook his head helplessly, and said: "Anyway, I can't taste anything, so I'm giving it away."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiurong, who is usually very frugal, wanted to get angry, but she seemed to have thought of something, she opened her mouth, but still didn't say anything.
She could understand Li Daozheng's feeling now. After tasting the cucumbers grown by Li Xiao, eating other cucumbers would definitely be tasteless. It might take a while for this situation to gradually dissipate.
If it was before, Li Daozheng and Jiang Xiurong might still be worried about the harvest in the crops, but since Li Xiao made a lot of money, the income in the crops is nothing.
Several times of selling mountain products in succession, plus the money earned from picking fungus, the money in Li Xiao's hands has reached millions. In Ning Village, even if he didn't do anything, it was enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
It's a pity that the bet with Ling Bingbing made Li Xiao doomed to be busy, and he was far away from enjoying happiness, at least in a short period of time, it was impossible to realize it.
However, his parents are not young anymore, and Li Xiao doesn't want them to work like this. He has asked them to rent out the village's fields more than once, or ask someone to help them take care of them. He earns enough money to support his parents.
However, Li Xiao's suggestion was rejected by Li Daozheng.
I remember when Li Xiao expressed his thoughts, Li Daozheng just replied: I am a farmer, what else can I do without farming?
As a result, Li Xiao, who refuted this sentence, was speechless.
Li Daozheng and his wife also knew that Li Xiao was doing it for their own good, and they could understand his mentality, so they didn't work so hard. For them, planting crops was more like exercising.
Perhaps because of his mentality, Li Xiao found that during this time, his parents' health has become much stronger.
After Li Daozheng came back, he sat under the peach tree in the yard and smoked.
Although the weather is hot, the peach trees are luxuriant enough to block the scorching sun in the sky, but it is also very cool.
And Jiang Xiurong was washing clothes.
Seeing his mother's hard work, Li Xiao felt a little sorry. It seems that he will go to the county in a few days to get his mother a washing machine. Otherwise, it would be too hard to bend over to wash clothes all the time.
In fact, Li Xiao had such an idea a long time ago, but due to the different mountain roads, the cost of getting the washing machine into Ningxiang Village is really too high.
He has decided to go to the county with Da Zhuang in two days, and then come back with a washing machine.
In fact, Li Xiao wanted to buy more household appliances, such as TVs, but there was no other way. It would be nice if he and Da Zhuang could carry the washing machine back on that kind of mountain road.
At this moment, Li Xiao was very much looking forward to the opening of the road from Ningxiang Village to Baoshan Town, and he didn't know when the engineering team contacted by Lai Lao would arrive, so he was really anxious.
At this time, the little white wolf was lazily lying at Jiang Xiurong's feet, and the foam from the laundry splashed on its face from time to time, making it shake its head constantly, but there was no impatient look in its eyes. Curious about the colorful bubbles.
"Dad, Mom, I have something to discuss with you." After hesitating for a while, Li Xiao said suddenly.
"What's the matter?" Li Daozheng threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and asked.
"Dad, you see, our house has been lived in for decades, the wood on the beams is a bit bad, and a lot of limestone has fallen off the walls. When it rained last time, our house leaked. It's..."
Before Li Xiao could finish speaking, Li Daozheng interrupted directly: "What exactly do you want to say? I'm so rambunctious."
Li Xiao showed a helpless expression and said, "Dad, I also earned a lot of money. Let's build a new house, right?"
"Building a new house?" Before Li Daozheng could speak, Jiang Xiurong let out an exclamation.
"Why build a new house? Can't we live in the old house? Besides, you know how much it costs to build a house. Even if our family has money, we can't spend it like this!" Jiang Xiurong was a little distressed, and the words came out like a cannonball.
"I didn't say to use my family's money, the money I earn is enough to build a house."
"You can't earn enough." Jiang Xiurong looked resolute. She hated this kind of waste of money.
The reason why Li Xiao wanted to build a new house was, of course, that he wanted his parents to live more comfortably.
To be honest, the place where they live now is really too old.
The house I live in now was built when my parents got married. It has been more than 20 years now, and the house is very humid, which is very bad for my parents' health.
"Mom, we are in the countryside. Many things are ready-made. It doesn't cost much to build a house." Li Xiao still persuaded.
"Li Xiao, tell me honestly, how much money do you have? You don't even care about the money to build a house?" Jiang Xiurong asked, staring into Li Xiao's eyes.
To be honest, in a place like Ning Village, if you want to build a decent house, the cost will definitely not exceed 100,000, and this includes labor costs.
"About more than one million!"
With a plop, Li Daozheng sat down directly on the ground.
"How much?" He couldn't help exclaiming.
"More than one million." Seeing Li Daozheng showing this expression, Li Xiao said helplessly.
What surprised Li Xiao was that Jiang Xiurong was shocked when he knew that he had a deposit of more than one million yuan, but he recovered quickly, not at all like Li Daozheng's exaggeration.
Of course, Li Xiao didn't think much about it, it's just that his mother has a high psychological quality.
"More than one million yuan, it's not impossible to build a house." Jiang Xiurong said after pondering for a while.
