Chapter Twenty-Three Three Months Later

  Young friends are all passionate young people, naturally some human emotions and worldly affairs are not very understood. As a result, the new year has passed without much meaning. Why say it's unconscious? This New Year is no different from usual, only with more firecrackers.

  But at that time, there were firecrackers, and we also hunted regularly, so during the New Year's celebrations, setting off firecrackers was not as attractive anymore. Moreover, the idea of eating good food during the New Year's celebrations didn't seem to matter either.

  Because since the little friends gathered together, this gang has never been worse off. Naturally, the little friends also didn't have anything particularly exciting to look forward to. Visiting relatives, as mentioned earlier, these are all hot-blooded young people, and they will naturally infinitely magnify their relatives' mistreatment of them. Although these relatives had various reasons for doing so, in the eyes of the little friends, you only had one reason: that is, being mean to us. How could we be good to you if you're not good to us? Although Aunt Wang advised several times, none of the little friends would listen to her suggestions.

  "Aunt Wang, you can eat and drink as much as you want, and take some too, we don't have any objections. But if you let us go see our relatives, we won't agree to it either. They are really heartless, we were already orphans, and they still treat us like this. We think, Aunt Wang, it's better not to tell them that we're doing well now."

  This isn't it, the little friends didn't go, but relatives came, they didn't come to visit, but to scold. This is already three months later. "Yingzi, you little brat, when did you steal the land deed...". Blah blah blah, first on stage were Yingzi's relatives and friends, naturally because Yingzi took away the land deed and gave it to the village chief. Before that, the land was frozen, so the village chief went to notify these families, saying that this year these lands have been taken back by the village, and all of this was agreed upon by the owners of the land. Of course, the village chief didn't mention the situation of the little friends changing the mountain forest, otherwise, he was worried that these relatives would do something to the little friends.

  "Wow, Wei Gege, look, these are my aunts and uncles, as well as my cousins. They're actually so vicious." "Okay, okay, Yingzi, don't cry, you didn't hear anything. Now it's just our siblings' relatives quarreling, let's just treat it like a show. You know, watching a big show requires paying money, but this free big show doesn't require any payment."

  "Hmph," Yingzi burst out laughing, and the scolded friends also laughed together. That's right, we eat well, dress well, let them scold if they want to, those lands were earned by their own parents, of course, they won't be handed over to them for farming. Having figured it out, the friends' mood slowly calmed down.

  Yang Wei was really listening to the opera, he had no relatives in this village, only these little friends accompanied him. Now he realized that the relatives of this era were also so weird, they actually openly wanted to occupy other people's things. He had heard a lot of scolding on the street in later generations, but when he arrived at this era, he found that the scolding on the street was not much different from the later generations. If you say that scolding people without using dirty words is the exclusive privilege of cultured people, then these ordinary little old hundred surnames are naturally also the same few ways of scolding.

  "Open the door, Wei Zi." Aunt Wang called out from outside. Yang Wei found that there was no one behind her, so he opened a crack in the door and let Aunt Wang come in.

  "Hey, Wei Zi, this is not right, I'm saying you kids are eating meat and whatnot, where did it come from? Ah, this is some money, it's the things your aunt exchanged for the stuff you gave her. Aunt already ate the food, but she can't eat the things you got by cheating!"

  It turned out that Aunt Wang was wrong, she thought the little friends were exchanging land deeds for some food. She didn't think about it, does this village chief's family have so much food? Can they exchange land deeds for it? Even if they can, would the village chief dare to do so?

  "Auntie, you're wrong. We hunted these meats ourselves. You can take your money back. We don't lack money or meat. If we want to buy land, we can buy a lot of it. It's just... Ah, auntie, it's better if you don't know."

  Aunt Wang is a down-to-earth person, after repeated assurances, "Well, I'll take the money back first, if you're really going to exchange it, just tell Auntie, Auntie doesn't want to take advantage of you kids."

  "Auntie, you can go now. We really don't have anything to exchange for food." Indeed, there was nothing to exchange for food, but they had exchanged it for a golden mountain for their descendants. Yang Wei believed that this mountain would become a golden mountain under their care. It could be calculated that in fifty years, if the mountain didn't have an owner, it would become a barren hill. In these three months, Yang Wei and his companions had run all over the mountain, where they found ginseng, precious trees, and large trees of all kinds. Yang Wei didn't want to exploit the mountain's resources for wealth, but he also had ways to make money. This mountain was just their fixed home.

  The people who were scolding on the street dispersed slowly after Yang Wei and others didn't come out to confront them, and they never continued again. This unpopular show would eventually end. Although the younger companions also wanted to go out and reason with them, Yang Wei stopped them. They all grew up white and chubby, and if they went out to reason, they would be taken advantage of by these relatives instead.

  Spring has arrived, and the little friends have nothing to do because they don't have land. However, there is still more than half an acre of land outside Yang Wei's house, which naturally became a vegetable garden. During their free time from training, Yang Wei led the little friends to till the land, waiting for the season to arrive so they could plant vegetables. The little friends were intoxicated by the thought of those green vegetables and couldn't wait to eat them. This winter, they had been eating meat and even grass roots, but now they urgently needed a change in flavor. In this era, there were no out-of-season vegetables, and even the winter vegetables had all been eaten up. Fortunately, some wild herbs outside had already sprouted tender buds, so the little friends eagerly dug them up and brought them back.

  "Wei Zi, look what we've found." Today, the little friends who went into the forest came back, and they were mysteriously holding a package to show Yang Wei.
