"Mr. Liang, thank you so much for reminding me."

Upon receiving Liang Lao's reminder, Li Yunshan suddenly realized the truth.

Indeed, the money he has is all earned through hunting. If he were to deposit it in a bank, it would be difficult to explain its origin.

After all, it was still the early 1980s. Although the country had begun its reform and opening up, it was also on guard against lurking enemy agents.

If he rashly takes such a large sum of money to deposit in the bank, he might actually get himself into trouble.

If he had a certificate issued by Director Zhou proving that his money came from a legitimate source, he could avoid unnecessary trouble.

"No need to thank me. You accompanied me on the hunt, and even if you didn't do anything special, you certainly put in the effort. You also showed me your hunting skills, so it's only right that I remind you."

"Xiao Li, remember my address and phone number. If you have any difficulties in the future, you can come to the city to find me, or you can call me."

Old Liang gave his instructions.

It's not hard to tell from his words that he admires Li Yunshan to some extent.

"Okay, Mr. Liang, I'll remember your address and phone number. I'll visit you in the city when I have time."

Li Yunshan nodded quickly and said with a smile.

After spending a few days together, he learned about Old Liang's identity and how powerful he was in the city.

Now that people have said that, and given him face, he has no choice but to accept it.

Later, when he decides what business to start, or when he wants to expand his business, Old Liang will be a valuable connection for him.

"Okay, go back now. You've had a hard time these past few days."

Old Liang waved his hand.

Goodbye, Mr. Liang.

After saying goodbye to Elder Liang, Li Yunshan went to see Director Zhou first, asked him to help him get a certificate, and then stamped the certificate with the forest farm's seal.

After doing all this, Li Yunshan carefully put the stamped certificate away from his body.

"Brother Zhou, I'm leaving now. Remember to look me up next time something like this happens."

Before leaving Director Zhou's office, Li Yunshan, unusually, cracked a joke with him.

"Alright, alright, I won't forget you next time there's a good thing like this. But if you reap any rewards, remember to share half of the benefits with me!" Manager Zhou laughed.

……

After leaving the forest farm, Li Yunshan walked along the mountain road that led in and out of the forest farm, and he didn't get home until almost noon.

At this moment, the door to the main room was half-open, and Dou Dou's giggles, along with the voices of Lin Xiulan and Gao Hongmei, could be heard coming from inside.

"DouDou, look who's back!"

Li Yunshan pushed open the door and went in. When he saw Dou Dou, he squatted down and opened his arms.

"Father!"

Seeing Li Yunshan return, Dou Dou's innocent little face lit up with joy. She put the doll she was holding on the table and rushed towards Li Yunshan.

"Daddy, you're finally back! DouDou missed you so much!"

Dou Dou threw herself into Li Yunshan's arms, and Li Yunshan naturally pulled her into his embrace, standing up: "How much did Dou Dou miss Daddy?"

As he spoke, he rubbed his chin against Dou Dou's tender little face, and the stubble from his beard made Dou Dou giggle.

"DouDou really misses her dad."

"Alright, then DouDou, tell Daddy, did you listen to your mother while I was away?"

"I heard that, and I even helped my mother with the chores."

"That's what DouDou said proudly."

"Go wash your face quickly. Are you hungry? If you are, I'll go make you some food right away."

Lin Xiulan brought Li Yunshan a basin of hot water and a towel.

He wet the towel, wrung it out, and handed it to Li Yunshan.

"I'm a little hungry."

Li Yunshan took the wrung-out towel and wiped his face and neck haphazardly, feeling a bit hungry.

"Then sit down and rest for a while, I'll go make you something to eat."

As Lin Xiulan spoke, she went to the kitchen.

"Li Yunshan, why are you gone for several days at a time? Don't you think about Xiulan's pregnancy and the need to take care of Doudou?"

After Lin Xiulan left, Gao Hongmei couldn't help but say something.

"When you go out to work for someone else, you have to follow their arrangements. I can't just leave halfway through before the job is done."

Li Yunshan said.

Director Zhou came to his home and asked him to go to the forest farm to accompany Old Liang on a hunting trip in the mountains and ensure Old Liang's safety. Although he missed home during this time, he had to see it through to the end.

As soon as he finished his business, he went home.

"So, how many prey did you hunt and how much money did you earn these past few days while helping that Director Zhou?"

The thought of Li Yunshan going off to make money without taking her with him, leaving her in the village, made Gao Hongmei feel uneasy.

"Not much, just a little bit of delivery fee."

Li Yunshan said casually.

He didn't plan to tell too many people about his status as a "ten-thousand-yuan household," not even Gao Hongmei.

The main reason was that Gao Hongmei had a very outgoing personality, and Li Yunshan was afraid that if he told her about it, she might let it slip when she went out.

Moreover, Dou Dou was right there, and Li Yunshan was afraid that Dou Dou would overhear and say something inappropriate to others when they went out to play.

Li Yunshan only planned to tell Lin Xiulan about how he earned ten thousand yuan during his trip to Hongxing Forest Farm.

Because Lin Xiulan is gentle and keeps her mouth shut, unlike Gao Hongmei who is carefree, even if you tell her something, she knows her limits and won't talk about it to others.

"Tch, all he earned was a little bit of running errands."

Gao Hongmei was somewhat disdainful.

However, before Li Yunshan could respond, he suddenly heard shouts from outside.

The shouts were chaotic, even carrying a sense of panic, confusion, and helplessness.

Although the shouts were chaotic, Li Yunshan could still hear them clearly.

"Oh no, it's the village primary school building; it collapsed under the weight of the snow."

When Li Yunshan heard clearly what the shouts were saying, he was immediately startled and ran out.

"What? The village primary school building collapsed under the weight of the snow?"

Gao Hongmei was still a little dazed. She couldn't believe Li Yunshan's words, but when she saw Li Yunshan run out, she subconsciously followed him out.

"Big sister, what happened?"

When Lin Xiulan heard the noise and came out of the kitchen, she saw Gao Hongmei running out of the yard behind Li Yunshan, so she quickly asked.

"The village primary school building collapsed under the weight of the snow. You stay home and stay put. Li Yunshan and I will go take a look."

Gao Hongmei gave him a word of advice and then quickly followed Li Yunshan.

At this moment, in Guapigou Village, many people heard the cries of the village primary school collapsing under the weight of the snow, and most of them ran towards the location of the village primary school without prior arrangement.

Li Yunshan and Gao Hongmei also mingled among the crowd running towards the village primary school.

As they ran, everyone's mood became somewhat tense and heavy.

The village primary school collapsed under the weight of the snow. What if the children and teachers who were having class in the classroom were hit by the collapsed school building?

With nervousness in their hearts, they walked quickly and soon arrived at the village primary school.

From afar, Li Yunshan and his group could see that most of the village's primary school building had collapsed.

Upon seeing this, everyone's tense hearts instantly tightened.

Although the primary school in Guapigou Village is a village school, it usually has forty or fifty students attending. Now, more than half of the school building has collapsed. What if it falls on or crushes those students, causing injuries or deaths?

"Everyone, hurry up and go check out the situation."

Someone yelled.

Li Yunshan and the others also subconsciously quickened their pace.

However, when they arrived at the village primary school and saw forty or fifty students and several teachers standing in the open space outside the school, all of whom were safe and sound, the villagers of Guapigou Village finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The students, who were still standing in mid-air, rushed to their families and burst into tears when they saw their parents and grandparents arrive.

"Waaaaah, Daddy, Mommy, you scared me to death just now!"

"The roof beam creaked, and if Teacher Yuan hadn't told us to run quickly, we would have been trapped underneath."

"Grandpa, Grandma, I'm scared..."

There were forty or fifty students, many of whom were still frightened by the terrifying scene that had just unfolded.

"Come quickly and help! Teacher Yuan is buried underneath!"

Just then, a shout suddenly rang out.

"What?! Teacher Yuan is buried down there? Folks, everyone hurry and help to rescue Teacher Yuan!"

"Go find some shovels and spades nearby..."

Upon hearing that someone was buried under the collapsed school building, the villagers, though somewhat disorganized, quickly sprang into action.

Some went to dig up the fallen bricks with their bare hands, some went to move the roof beams, and some went to lift the tiles.

Some people even went to the homes of nearby villagers and brought over a few shovels and spades.

After a few clanging and banging, the twenty-odd grown men quickly found Teacher Yuan, who was buried under the rubble.

However, when they found Teacher Yuan, they discovered that half of her face was bleeding and her body was covered in wounds.

"Teacher Yuan, are you alright?"

"Hang in there, we're about to get you out of here."

"Everyone, hurry up and get Teacher Yuan out of here!"

"Someone go to the village office and bring over the village tractor. We'll take Teacher Yuan to the commune clinic later."

Li Yunshan spoke first.

Soon, the crowd began rescuing people and searching for a tractor at the village office.

When everyone rescued Teacher Yuan from the rubble, the village's tractor arrived.

The village's barefoot doctor first examined Teacher Yuan and found that apart from a broken head and a lot of bleeding, as well as several fractures and abrasions all over his body, Teacher Yuan did not have any major injuries. Only then did he have someone drive a tractor to take Teacher Yuan to the commune health center.

Next, led by the other teachers at the village primary school, the students began to count the number of students, and the villagers began to clean up the collapsed school buildings, clearing out bricks, tiles, beams, crossbeams, desks, chairs, and other items one by one.

Fortunately, the village primary school building was a red brick and tile house, which made it easy to clean.

Many villagers came to help, and with everyone's help, by evening one-third of the collapsed school building had been cleared.
