Chapter Seventy-Nine: Tang Fu's Shock

  Thanks for the reward support from Xue Shi Shou Huang and Ji Qing Ye!

  Seeing the refrigerator and other appliances in Chu Jiaqiang's house, many people are very envious, envying Chu Jiaqiang's luck. Many of them think it's due to luck, Chu Jiaqiang didn't actually earn much money, most of it came from He Shouwu.

  The old village chief looked at their expressions and suddenly sneered, "What? Do you think that Jiaqiang's success is just due to luck? Ignorant!" The old village chief directly scolded them, continuing, "Although there is an element of luck in this, if you were to encounter He Shou Wu, would you dig it up and sell it? We see cicada shells and Tianma every day, but have any of you ever gotten rich from them? We plant fruit trees at a loss, Jiaqiang hasn't even taken care of them, yet when he came back, he saw the fruit in the orchard and immediately sold it for money. Corn has been deceiving us for so long, yet no one discovered it. Two large bamboo mountains are full of bamboo, who among you has heard that such a common thing in rural areas can also make money? What does this show? Knowledge! Insight! Information! Do you know? You're all envious and complaining, where did all this luck come from?"

  The old village chief scolded these people mercilessly, especially Yu Mi. Just mentioning it made him angry, the whole village was being played around with, and when they saw someone coming, they treated them like a god of wealth. This also shows how terrible the information blockade in the village is. It's not just Chu Jia Village, but all the villages in this area should have been deceived, otherwise they wouldn't be unaware of it.

  Chu Jiaqiang couldn't help but smile wryly, he was most aware of the village's backwardness. In fact, when it comes to poverty, Chujiashan is not the most impoverished place, further outside in the big mountains, there are no roads at all, only mountain paths, those places are truly isolated from the world, and children who can finish elementary school are considered top students.

  After sending away these deeply introspective villagers, Chu Jiaqiang helped clean up the scene.

  When Chu Jiaqiang was about to sleep, he found that Xiao Jin was actually hugging half a bamboo shoot and gnawing at it crazily.

  "Huh? You little guy is still hiding food?" Chu Jiaqiang naturally recognized it, this half root was what he threw to it last night, and thought that this guy would still hide it.

  But then he thought of the habits of animals, and it wasn't strange after all. Especially rodents, they are very busy every autumn collecting food for winter. Although the south is not like the north, where it's icy and snowy in winter, the temperature also drops sharply, and various foods are scarce at that time. Generally, fruits and the like are ripe in autumn.

  This little guy is a bit greedy, and is eagerly gnawing on bamboo shoots. Seeing Chu Jiaqiang standing beside him, he immediately stretches out a paw and calls out several times.

  "I'll give it to you later!" Chu Jiaqiang said in a bad tone.

  The next afternoon, Tang Pangzi suddenly visited. This guy came to Xiang Zhu Village and almost didn't dare to enter. In his impression, this road was bumpy. He asked a passerby and only then did he know that the people of Chu Jia Village had repaired the road two days ago.

  He met the old village chief on the road and stopped his car to greet him: "Old uncle, this road is well-maintained, it will be much more convenient to come in next time."

  The old village chief smiled with some pride: "Spending so much money, of course, it has to be done well. Is Little Tang coming in to find Jiaqiang this time? If you come a few days later, those two large jujube trees might have to wait until next year."

  Tang Pangzi shook his head: "I'd like to buy out his orchard, but that guy refused, alas! That kid has money and doesn't want to make more, nothing can be done!"

  Give an old village head a cigarette, light it up, and then bid farewell to the old village head and head towards Chu's old house.

  Arriving at Chu Jiaqiang's old house, he didn't find Chu Jiaqiang, but instead a woman he didn't recognize, a middle-aged man and an elderly woman. Out of politeness, he still knocked on the already open door: "Excuse me, is Chu Jiaqiang home? I'm his friend."

  Xu Xiu and Yan Tianzhi, along with Old Lady Wan, heard that the fat man was a friend of Chu Jiaqiang's and immediately invited him to come in and sit down.

  "Jiaqiang is on the other side of the reservoir, you can go take a look. I heard it's quite fun, but my situation only allows me to wander around nearby for now." Yan Tianzhi said with a smile.

  The fat guy is a master of communication, and he immediately introduces himself, soon chatting and laughing with everyone.

  "You're saying that little guy built a suspension bridge over by the reservoir? He can cure illnesses, caught a rare treasure-hunting bamboo rat, a golden turtle as big as a millstone, and even made a huge snow sculpture?" Fatso found it hard to imagine how Chu Jiaqiang had accomplished so many incredible things in such a short time.

  "Xiao Jin should have gone out, and Xue Ying is not here either. Otherwise, you might not be able to get in this door. Jin Qi Gui is on the other side of the reservoir, you'll know when you go!" Yan Tianzhi responded with a smile. The two were both doing business and communicated very smoothly.

  Fatso heard that, immediately bid farewell to everyone, and then rushed out of the back door. Looking at the reservoir hundreds of meters away, he was stunned. The suspension wooden bridge placed outside is not eye-catching, but sitting in this place, it looks very eye-catching.

  He walked into the orchard, walked to the two big jujube trees, saw that the jujubes on top were bigger than those outside, and his eyes were greedy. He turned his head to look around, found a bamboo pole next to him, picked it up and hit it hard several times, and the jujubes fell down with a rustling sound.

  Tang Baozi knew that these dates, or rather this orchard, had never been sprayed with pesticides by the owner, Chu Jiaqiang. So he didn't even bother to wipe them clean, just picked one up and popped it into his mouth. The sweet and fluffy texture made Tang Baozi's eyes light up. He sat down on the ground with a thud, picking up fallen dates and stuffing them into his mouth, eating with great relish, completely forgetting his original purpose.

  After letting out a loud belch, he stood up and only then remembered that he was supposed to go to the reservoir to find Chu Jiaqiang. He hastily walked along the large ditch. However, as he approached the edge, he saw the fish and shrimp inside, as well as the big crabs crawling on the edge without any holes to live in, and the yellow eel heads sticking out of the dense black holes at the bottom, which made him jump with surprise.

  He knew that this big ditch had a lot of fish, shrimp and crab as well as yellow eels, but last time it was so scary. And those yellow eels were too fierce, a moth flew over, a yellow eel immediately shot up from inside you, and in an instant swallowed that poor moth.

  As he walked through the large strawberry field, looking at the growth of the strawberries, Tang Baozi immediately had a hunch that these strawberries must be good ones. He decided in his heart to force Chu Jiaqiang to sign a contract, such high-end fruit, he wouldn't let it go.

  When he arrived at the riverbank, Chu Jiaqiang recognized him and waved from afar under the big oak tree on the small island. He was now fishing with Wan Lao, while Li Lao and Yan Lao were still engrossed in their game of Go under the wooden pavilion not far away.

  Wan Lao felt a bit depressed, and this fishing rod was indeed very simple. The fishing rod was a sturdy bamboo stick, about the size of a thumb, and the fishing line was found by Chu Jiaqiang in the village, which was thicker than usual. The hook was made from a needle that he had bent into shape after heating it over an open flame. To make matters worse, that kid was catching fish with ease, even faster than when Wan Lao used his own expensive fishing rod worth thousands of yuan.
