Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1985, the shock in the mountains

Yangjiaba in Daliang Mountain, just like the past years, it seems that there is no change in a year, just like before, it is extremely cold in winter, and the cold wind blowing between the mountains and valleys makes people feel uncomfortable I couldn't help shivering.

The winter in the mountains is extremely cold and humid, and the biting cold makes most people gather in their houses early, light a fire, and lie lazily around the fire.

The only road leading to the outside world is rugged and extremely narrow. This place is like the paradise described by Tao Yuanming, but what is here is only isolated from the world, and there is no sweetness like paradise.

On the rugged mountain road, Yang Dawa was carrying a heavy burden, and as Yangjiaba came into view, she became extremely excited.

It must be a lie to miss home. Every day when I go out to work, I will miss home, think about my parents at home, and think about every little thing at home.

At this moment, finally returning home again, the whole person seemed extremely excited.

Before the person reached the door of the house, Yang Dawa yelled.

"I am back!"

"I am back!"

"Father, Mother, brother, sister!"

Dawa Yang is so excited, she finally arrived home, her legs are almost broken, and her shoulders are callused, that is to say, what she usually does is the construction site, and I am used to being tired, otherwise it is really difficult to persevere , It took two full days to come back from Chengdu.

In Dawa Yang's home, Dawa Yang's parents were warming up by the fire at this moment, when they vaguely heard a sound outside that had not been heard for a long time, they suddenly became slightly excited, got up and ran out.

When seeing Dawa Yang wearing brand-new clothes and shoes and carrying a heavy burden, the whole person seemed a little unbelievable.

"Big baby!"

"I am back!"

Dawa Yang put down her burden and was very excited.

"Just come back, just come back."

Dawa Yang's parents were very excited and very happy. They couldn't help but take a closer look at Dawa Yang. She had grown stronger. She seemed to have grown a lot of flesh, and she was even whiter, and her body was still clean.

Look at the clothes on his body again. The brand new clothes and shoes look just like the Han people outside, and the hair is also cut short. It looks a bit weird, but it seems to be more spiritual .

"Brother!"

The younger brothers and sisters also ran out excitedly, and one of them surrounded Yang Dalang, looking very excited.

"Ha ha!"

"You've all grown up a lot."

"Where's the fourth one?"

Dawa Yang hugged her younger siblings happily, but soon found that the fourth child seemed to be missing.

"Fourth, the illness is gone."

Yang Dawa's father replied helplessly.

In this mountain, the fertility rate is very high, but the probability of being able to raise an adult is also very low. More than half of the children cannot be raised, and often a cold may disappear.

"Did you take it to the doctor?"

When Yang Dawa heard this, she immediately looked extremely sad. The fourth child was his favorite sister, and she was always the most obedient.

"Where do you go to see a doctor?"

"I ate some herbs from the mountain, but I still didn't keep it."

Yang Dawa's father shook his head helplessly and said.

Dawa Yang originally thought about going to see a doctor or a hospital, but soon realized that this is not Chengdu. There are many medical clinics and hospitals in Chengdu, and you can get good treatment with a little money.

Thinking about when I was sick in the mountains before, I also took some herbal medicine. Whether it is right or not, it is just a few kinds of herbal medicine anyway. It is really fate to survive.

There are also children in the village, many of them are like this, and they die after getting sick.

But it is different here in Chengdu. There are many clinics and hospitals, and the medical technology is advanced. Even if you are sick, you don’t need to worry too much. If you get treatment in time, you will get better soon.

The departure of the fourth child dilutes some of Yang Dawa's joy of returning home, but she soon recovered. This is the case in the mountains. I am used to seeing life and death, and it seems that I have already become accustomed to it.

"I brought back a lot of things for you."

Yang Dawa took her burden home and began to take out the things she brought back one by one.

"Here are the clothes and shoes I bought for you. There are two sets for each person. They are cotton clothes and woolen clothes. They are warm and look good."

"And these are the iron pots, dishes, and chopsticks I bought for my family. From now on, I don't have to grab them with my hands when I eat."

"This is the raisins, dried salted fish, beef jerky and so on brought back from Chengdu. They are all eaten. And these are rice and flour. The flour can be used to make noodles, steamed buns and dumplings."

Yang Dawa said as she took it out, and stuffed a handful of raisins into the hands of her younger siblings. The younger siblings took the raisins and gently grew one, laughing immediately.

"Really delicious!"

"Yeah, it's delicious, just like eating honey."

The younger brothers and sisters were eating raisins, while Yang Dawa's parents looked at the things that were taken out one by one, with happy smiles on their faces.

Yang Dawa's mother even gestured to the new clothes bought outside. The clothes outside are really beautiful, the patterns and colors are completely different, and the workmanship looks very good. It feels completely different from the clothes inside the mountain.

And looking at the iron pots, dishes, chopsticks and so on that Yang Dawa brought back, these are things she has wanted to have for a long time, but in this mountain, these things are also very difficult to get.

It is necessary to use herbs, animal skins and the like to go to the nearest town to exchange with the Han people. It often takes a lot of herbs and animal skins to exchange them.

This problem of eating can also be solved with hands, there is no need to use dishes, chopsticks, etc., and this pot, one mouthful is enough, so there is no need to use various large and small pots.

Now that Dawa Yang has bought all of them back, there are a total of five iron pots of various types, large and small. From now on, there is no need to worry about not having enough for cooking rice, meat, and boiling water.

And the bowls and dishes are actually made of iron, which is very good, and I am not afraid of breaking it.

"That's great, these things."

Yang Dawa's mother couldn't put it down holding these kitchen tools, she couldn't put it down.

As for Yang Dawa's father, he was wearing the coat that Yang Dawa bought back. Wrapping the thick coat around his body, he immediately felt extremely warm. The cold wind in the mountains didn't affect him at all. What's more intimate is that this coat even has a hat , when the hat is covered, it is like sleeping under the quilt.

Picking up the machetes, sickles, hoes and the like that Yang Dawa bought back, they were all good, and she nodded straightly and said, "It's a good thing, did it cost a lot of money?"

"It didn't cost much money, these things are very cheap outside."

"Like these iron pots, dishes and so on, the total is less than 1 tael of silver."

"There are also these clothes and shoes, each of which costs one or two hundred Wen, which is very cheap."

"The things outside are much cheaper than those in our mountains. The price is almost half of that in our mountains. Especially these ironware are even cheaper."

Dawa Yang smiled and shook her head.

"How's it going outside this year?"

"You must have suffered a lot. Earning this money must not be easy."

When Yang Dawa's parents heard this, they immediately asked.

"It's nice to be outside."

When Dawa Yang heard this, she immediately smiled and talked about the things outside.

"I, I work with my brother-in-law outside, and my brother-in-law works with his cousin and four brothers. We all work on the construction site, that is, building houses."

"When I do things outside, I am provided with food and housing, but I don't live in the dormitory of the company, but rent a house with my brother-in-law and sister."

"This food, I eat three meals a day, rice, noodles, steamed buns and so on, and then every meal has vegetables and meat. I have grown strong. You see, my whole body is full of meat, but I am strong. gone."

Yang Dawa rolled up her sleeves, revealing her strong muscles. The construction site is labor-intensive and there is food to eat. This person is indeed much stronger.

"It is indeed much stronger!"

Yang Dawa's parents also nodded happily. People in this mountain don't have so much to eat, and they eat three meals a day. Basically, people in this mountain have two meals a day, one meal in the morning and one meal in the afternoon.

It is also impossible to say that you can eat with your belly open. There will be so much food, let alone vegetables and meat.

"I work on the construction site, because I do hard work, so I can get almost 6 taels of silver a month. After all, I also got more than 70 taels of silver this year."

Yang Dawa also talked about her income.

"Earn 6 taels of silver a month, and more than 70 taels of silver this year!"

When Yang Dawa's parents heard this, they couldn't help opening their mouths.

For them in the mountains, not to mention silver, even copper coins are not seen. Who knows that Yang Dawa can earn 6 taels of silver a month when he goes out of the mountains to work. To more than 70 taels of silver.

"How much silver is this, and how much food can be bought!"

Yang Dawa's parents were shocked, it was hard to imagine this number.

"There is a lot of food, and the food outside is very cheap."

"The rice and flour cost a few cents a catty, and they are all high-quality rice and flour. You can buy hundreds of catties for just one tael of silver."

"If you buy sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, etc., you can buy more. The food outside is not worth much and is very cheap, so you can eat and cover. Even chicken, duck, goose, pork, and mutton are also very cheap. It only costs a few hundred cash to buy a sheep.”

"It's cheaper to do something like these fish. I heard that the production is so large at the seaside that you can't finish it."
