Back in the 1980s, hiking in the mountains was also a way of life

Although he knew what it meant, Wang An pretended to be confused and asked:
"So what do you mean, Brother Wu? You're impotent? What if you..."

Before Wang An could finish speaking, Wu Dong interrupted him irritably:
"Get the hell out of here! What kind of stuff is it that I can't handle? Stop dawdling, pick the really strong stuff, and get me a little of everything, don't forget."

Wang An chuckled, then said seriously:
"Wait, Brother Wu, what's going on with you? Aren't you young, strong, and full of vigor? Why do you need to drink medicinal wine now?"

The medicinal wines Wang An brewed were all made with the finest ingredients. It was fine for older people to drink a little every day, but for young people, drinking a little every few days, just an ounce or two each time, was perfectly sufficient. Drinking too much would be unbearable, causing nosebleeds.

However, Wang An gave Wu Dong and the others a lot of medicinal wine and medicinal materials such as deer blood and deer antler for making medicinal wine every year. Logically speaking, Wu Dong should have a lot of medicinal wine.

Of course, Wu Dong and the others had given most of the medicinal wine that Wang An had given them to their elders, so it's normal that they don't have any left now.

After Wang An finished asking, Wu Dong replied hesitantly:
"Well, your sister-in-law is back with the child. There's still a lot going on these next few days. I don't get home until the middle of the night every day, get it?"

Wu Dong meant that his wife had returned, and he had been working too hard, but he was also busy with work, so he was a little tired, or rather, a little overwhelmed.

It must be said that Wu Dong's wife is indeed quite charming. Although she is not as beautiful as Mu Xueqing and Sun Nian, she is definitely among the ranks of great beauties.

Most importantly, that woman possessed a very unique charm. She usually appeared quite dignified, but whenever she flirted a little or displayed her allure, she could easily overwhelm any man.

Wang Ankabakab eyes, and said:
"Ah, uh, oh, is that so? Okay, I'll remember that, hehe, hehehehehehe."

However, Wang An couldn't help but laugh.

Upon hearing Wang An's rather strange laughter, Wu Dong cursed under his breath and immediately hung up the phone in a fit of rage.

Wang An chuckled, not minding at all, and placed the microphone on the phone.

Looking at his watch, Wang An took out 3 cents and placed it on Sun Dafu's table. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Sun Dafu readily say:
"We barely exchanged a few words, so let's just forget about the phone bill."

Wang An shook his head and said with a smile:
"That won't do. It should be the right price. We're not short of money."

Let alone a phone call costing only a few cents, even if it cost a few dollars, Wang An wouldn't try to save any money. It would be so embarrassing if people found out. Besides, Wang An didn't want to do this favor.

Sun Dafu smiled helplessly:

"If all the people in our village were like you, that would be great. These days, they all add up the bills as soon as they make a phone call, even if they have money in their pockets. They always say they'll talk about it next fall. It's infuriating."

Wang Anke will not comment on this issue. Whether others give money or not is their business. Whatever Wang Anke says will only offend people for no reason.

So Wang An laughed and didn't respond, saying:

"Grandpa Sun, I saw you were about to go home. Did my phone call delay your dinner? Let's hurry up and go."

Sun Dafu shook his head and said:
"It's okay, it doesn't matter if I get home a little earlier or later."

Just as Wang An was about to leave, Sun Dafu suddenly frowned and said:

"Xiao An, have a seat for a while. I have something I'd like you to help me with." Wang An was taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and said:

"Give guidance? Hahaha. What kind of guidance can I give? Just tell me what it is, and I'll definitely tell you what I know."

Wang Anke doesn't believe he has the ability to "guide" others, but mainly to "guide" Sun Dafu.

Sun Dafu hurriedly said:
"Xiao An, please sit down first. Sit down and we'll talk."

Wang An sat down and heard Sun Dafu say:

“A few days ago I went to a meeting at the commune. Afterwards, the higher-ups said that we should vigorously develop the agricultural economy. I was thinking that the winter greenhouse that your Wang family built is really good. As long as you are willing to work hard, you should be able to make a lot of money. Do you think it is possible to vigorously develop it in our village?”

Upon hearing what this was about, Wang An readily agreed and said:

"Sure, that's really possible. There's not much technology involved in building greenhouses, so let's develop them. If a family builds two or three greenhouses, they can definitely make a lot of money over the winter."

Under Wang An's guidance and assistance, all the Wang families in Kaoshantun built greenhouses. The profits from these greenhouses made the Wang Dashu, Wang Yong, and Wang Shun families wealthy households in Kaoshantun, achieving a level of moderate prosperity that was common in those days.

Although Wang An no longer finds the profits from plastic greenhouses appealing, he has to admit that the profits from greenhouses are indeed very, very high for ordinary families.

Of course, some families in the village followed suit and built greenhouses, but they didn't make much money because of winter transportation and sales problems.

There's no way around it; the most difficult thing these days is transportation, especially in winter.

Because winters in Heilongjiang Province are extremely cold, the frigid temperatures can freeze fresh vegetables straight from the greenhouse into icicles if you're not careful.

That's right, it freezes into an ice pop, incredibly fast, probably in less than a minute.

After Wang An finished speaking, Sun Dafu stared intently at him, his face full of anticipation.

Wang An felt a little uneasy under the gaze, and chuckled wryly:
"Grandpa Sun, why are you looking at me like that?"

Sun Dafu said:
“I also asked Li Guangcai, and he said that growing vegetables is easy, but selling them is difficult. Sometimes the vegetables freeze before they even reach the county town. So I thought I'd ask you if you have any good methods?”

Wang An didn't hide anything and told them about selling vegetables to units in the county and how the units directly sent vehicles to pick up the vegetables.

After Wang An finished speaking, Sun Dafu pondered for a long time before saying:

“Xiao An, look at my age, how about you become the village chief? I believe that under your leadership, everyone in our village will definitely live a good life.”

"Huh?" Wang An said with an incredulous expression.
"No? Grandpa Sun, we're talking about the greenhouses, how come you're saying I should be the village head? How old am I to be the village head? You're just making trouble."

Making Wang An the village head is a complete joke; Wang An has no interest in that kind of thing.
Immediately afterwards, Wang An said with a grin:
"Grandpa Sun, I think you're doing a really good job as the village head. Besides, what's wrong with your age? Let me tell you, you're in the prime of your life to strive for success!" (End of Chapter)
