The pastoral life of the grass tribe chief
Chapter 85 Advice from Elders
Lu Yao finished brewing the Ganoderma lucidum medicinal wine and placed it on the shelf in his space. He then began brewing ten bottles of bamboo leaf wine for his fellow villagers from western Guangdong.
I was busy until after 2 a.m. before I could take a shower and go to bed.
Lu Yao now only needs one or two hours of sleep to feel full of energy.
Around 4 a.m., he got up again, carrying an electric lawnmower to cut the mountain path leading from the tea plantation to the waterfall valley.
They kept cutting fish until Zhuo Weijun was almost ready to come and collect them before they stopped.
In the afternoon, we continued cutting weeds in the abandoned fields.
"Uncle, come in and have some tea."
When Lu Yao returned from clearing weeds from the wasteland, he saw Lu Liguo taking a walk on the road at the entrance of Wumutang Valley.
Lu Liguo turned and came in when he heard his nephew shouting.
As Lu Liguo walked to the front of the house, Lu Liguang also slowly walked in with his hands behind his back.
Just as Lu Yao finished setting out the tea set, Lu Changping's father arrived with his grandson and granddaughter.
These old folks are all seasoned tea drinkers, addicted to his premium spring tea. They timed his return and came one after another.
For seasoned tea drinkers, drinking tea alone is no fun, especially good tea; it's meant to be shared with friends.
This applies not only to tea, but also to alcohol and other beverages.
This is a kind of joy in life.
A person lives in order to enjoy life.
A life without joy is a wasted life.

Lu Yao has always been very generous, especially to his elders. He never hesitates to share good tea and wine with them.
Some elders are selfish, stubborn, and take advantage of their age, but they have lived most of their lives and have a wealth of life experience, from which we can learn a lot.
You may not understand or even find their words and actions repulsive now, but you will naturally come to understand them when you reach a certain age, and eventually you may even become like them.
Getting along with elders is actually quite easy; it all boils down to two words: patience.
Older people are often lonely; they can't talk about many things and have to keep them to themselves.
Everyone has the desire to confide in others. As long as you are patient and willing to listen, they are happy to share the little things in their lives with you, and even listening to them brag is a pleasure.
Lu Yao was a very good listener.
This is one of the reasons why he has so many friends.
"Brother Guo, you're always the fastest runner."
Lu Changping's father said.
"There's nothing I can do. I'm too old. If I don't hurry up, you'll drink all the good tea."
"Brother Guang is the one who lives life with clarity. He's always been leisurely and carefree, never competing with anyone."
Luli National Highway.
"My mother left when I was fifteen, and my father left when I was twenty. What do I have to compete with others?"
Lu Liguang spoke in a calm and unhurried manner.
"I remember your dad was injured by a nail in the sole of his foot. At first, we didn't pay attention to it, but it got worse and worse, and he died of tetanus."
"This disease used to be incurable, but now it can be cured with just one injection, and the most expensive one costs only two or three hundred yuan."
Lu Changping's father said.
"In the past, countless people died from tuberculosis, but now, as long as you follow the doctor's instructions and take your medicine on time, you can be cured."
"That's fate."
Lu Liguang has always been resigned to his fate.
"Is Ah Sheng's wife about to give birth?"
Lu Yao asked his uncle.
"There's still a week until her due date, and your older brother wants her to go to the hospital to prepare for childbirth tomorrow."
Luli National Highway.
"It's good to get married early, so everyone can become a great-grandfather."
Lu Changping's father was somewhat envious.
"Your eldest granddaughter can get married too."
Luli National Highway.
"Once you're married, you're an outsider, so you don't count."
Lu Changping's father said.
At these times, Lu Liguang would silently drink his tea without saying a word.
"Ah Yao, what are you planting on the barren fields on both sides of the valley?"
Lu Liguo had never dared to underestimate his nephew, and now he dared not underestimate him even more.
Things that others would discard as junk can be transformed into all sorts of creative works in his hands.
Six months ago, when the villagers heard that he was going to raise fish and farm at home, they all laughed at him.
As a result, in just six months, he used the money he earned from raising grass carp to pay off his family's debts, bought a luxury car worth over 300,000 yuan, made his parents the talk of the town and their relatives, and silenced those who had mocked him, who no longer dared to laugh at him.
"I haven't decided exactly what I'll do yet."
"The main reason I rented it was because I was afraid that the water in the valley would not be able to drain properly during the typhoon and rainy season, which would threaten the pond."
"My first plan is to repair the entire valley stream so that the torrents can be quickly drained out of the valley during the rainy season, reducing the burden on the fishpond dam and preventing it from collapsing."
"We'll make plans once the valley is repaired."
Lu Yaodao.
"Those are all gravelly fields, making it difficult to grow anything else. In the past, we used to grow cactus grass."
Luli National Highway.
"There used to be a lot of stone frogs there, and it would have been a good idea to fence it off and raise them."
Lu Liguang said.
"I see you've been making bamboo leaf wine. There used to be a lot of bamboo leaves there, and it's a great place for bamboo leaves to grow."
Lu Changping's father said.
Lu Yao's heart stirred, and he made a mental note of it.
The three elders stayed until after 5 p.m. before leaving.
Lu Yao also started cooking.
Lu Yao and his parents were having dinner when his grandparents and Lu Jijun walked in.
"Xiao Jun, when did you get back?"
Wang Xiurong asked.
"afternoon."
Lu Jijun said.
"Have your parents come back?"
Lu Lide asked.
"No. My sister-in-law is going on a business trip, and they're going to my brother's house tomorrow to take care of his grandson for a few days."
Lu Jijun said.
"They used to say they wouldn't have children, but if they got married they would have children. Now their child is ten years old, and things are much easier for them. Your parents don't have to work so hard anymore."
Lu Lide said.
"They never planned to have a child; this child was an accident, and they couldn't bear to abort it, so they gave birth to it."
"But you can tell that the young man and his wife love this child very much. I'm glad they didn't abort the child back then."
Lu Yao moved the vegetable basin to one side, wiped the other side clean, and brought out the tea set for Lu Jijun to brew tea.
After the meal, the family sat together to drink tea.
"You have so many followers on your account, why don't you manage it properly?"
"That's money, you know what money is."
"If you don't want to manage it, I'll manage it for you."
Lu Jijun glared angrily at his younger brother.
"What are you two siblings whispering about again, about money and management?"
Lu Lide noticed that the siblings had been acting mysteriously lately, and he wondered what they were doing behind their family's back.
"You wouldn't understand even if I explained. Just keep my grandparents company while they drink tea, don't worry about us," Lu Yao replied to his father, then said to his older sister. "It's normal for them to complain a bit when they can't buy catnip. As long as we meet their needs, their anger will subside."
"Meeting their needs? You make it sound so easy. What will you use to meet their needs?"
Lu Jijun said irritably.
"With a supply of 2,000 boxes per day from now on, those pre-orders will be shipped much earlier, and they will definitely calm down."
Lu Yaodao.
"You should have said so earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to go to the store."
Lu Jijun excitedly jumped up and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, startling everyone.
"How can anyone want someone as barbaric as you? Heavens and earth!"
Lu Yao could only cover his head and endure her brutal attacks.
"Hehehe, whether anyone wants me or not is none of your concern. Anyway, I'm in a good mood now."
Lu Jijun took out a lollipop, put it in his mouth, and played the game.
The four elders shook their heads and chuckled.
