Chapter 314: Mushroom Grower Yang Dafeng
When Lin's father and mother saw this, they were deeply moved. Those years in the countryside seemed to have become a nightmare for them, and they were always sad whenever they recalled it.
In the countryside, they experienced the death of their parents, the death of their son due to illness, were subjected to criticism and denunciation, lived in a cowshed, and had manure splashed on them... They thought that all country people were as selfish, vicious, and ignorant of right and wrong as the people there.
They will never forget the days when their family was pelted with rotten vegetable leaves and the cowshed where they lived was splashed with manure.
There, their still young parents were hanged from the beams.
There, they begged and pleaded, but no one lent them a hand to lend them a bullock cart or other means of transportation to take their poor eldest son to the hospital. By the time they arrived at the hospital after walking all night with great difficulty, it was too late.
They lingered on, like dogs; no, even dogs had more dignity than them.
They lived a life worse than death, they were vindicated while alive, they lived to see that group of people smiling and calling them and fawning on them as if their faces had changed.
The neighbors were still the same group of neighbors, greeting them with smiles on their faces, as if they had just gone on a long journey.
They knew that it was these neighbors who reported them.
Relatives? Some died, some fled, and their whereabouts are unknown.
Lin's father and mother looked at each other, as if they saw the determination in each other's eyes.
The people here in Lion Rock seem different.
I heard that no one committed suicide here during those ten years.
I heard that no one escaped here either.
I heard that when the criticism and struggle sessions were at their worst, they were just a formality. There was no verbal abuse or physical beatings.
The educated youth who left here are actually willing to come back.
The people here are grateful and repay kindness.
This, they felt like it was a pure land.
Lin's father and mother were not the type to procrastinate, so they went to find Yang Anzhang without hesitation. They wanted to buy land and build a house in Lion Rock, and they wanted to stay.
Lin Fengwan didn’t know that his family would settle down in Lion Rock, and Chunni didn’t know either.
She was inspecting her territory like a king. She was inspecting the people who grew oyster mushrooms in Shizishan.
It just so happened that she visited Yang Dafeng's house.
It is the beginning of autumn and the weather in Lion Rock is not as hot as before.
But Yang Dafeng's face was covered with sweat.
Yang Dafeng had no husband in her family, nor did she have parents to help her, so she had to be the main person in charge of harvesting rice. While her two older sons were harvesting rice ears in the fields, she would carry them home one by one.
The youngest son had already swept the muddy ground again and again before spreading a bamboo drying mat on it.
When Chunni arrived, Yang Dafeng had poured all the rice ears onto the drying mat and was wiping the sweat from her brow with a towel under the porch.
"Xiao San, you better watch the grains and don't let the chickens steal them. This is the food that keeps us alive! Only by selling the grain can we have money to send you guys to school. If you can't even do this well, then don't go to school and go work as a laborer for your uncle to earn a living!"
Like all peasant women, Yang Dafeng simply hoped that her children could study and change their destiny.
"Second sister, you are afraid of chickens stealing food, but you are not afraid of birds in the sky stealing food!" Chunni said with a smile.
Yang Dafeng looked surprised.
"Chun Ni, how come you have time to come here? Come in and sit down. Forget it, let's not sit down. Let's go to the back of the house to check out my mushrooms, okay?"
This person is impatient.
Chunni found it funny and without any delay followed Yang Dafeng to the backyard.
This is a small separate room, probably used to store firewood.
Chunni had to bend down to enter the door, and she saw the huge pile of corn cobs.
The corn cob is covered with a transparent film, and underneath the film are densely packed small water droplets.
"Chun Ni, it's been so many days. I haven't watered the mushrooms once. Look how hot it is. Will the mushrooms die of thirst?" Yang Dafeng was very concerned about this pile of corn cobs. She wanted to visit them ten or eight times a day and even move her own bed to this room and sleep next to the mushrooms.
But this house is too small.
Chunni shook her head.
The temperature in Lion Mountain is suitable, with the highest temperature being around 30 degrees. After the dog days, the temperature drops, with the highest temperature being only 25 or 26 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for the growth of oyster mushrooms!
"No need. If you want to water it, you have to wait until the mushrooms grow. You've grown these mushrooms very well."
Yang Dafeng was so happy! If her man was around, she would hug him and spin around three times.
Wait, when did she have a man again? Thinking of the dream last night, Yang Dafeng was shy!
Chunni was right. Of all the people who grow oyster mushrooms in the village, Yang Dafeng is the best. Judging from the performance, her mushroom yield is also the highest.
In this way, Yang Dafeng, a mushroom grower, became famous in the village. The first time she became famous was when she was abandoned by the educated youth who went to the countryside. This made her unable to hold her head up in the village.
The second time she became famous, after mushrooms started to grow in her house, the compliments and fawning seemed to come from a dream, making her walk with the wind!
What's wrong with being a woman? Women can still grow mushrooms to make money; women can still send their children to school; women can still support their families; women can also hold up the sky!
