Chapter 34 Return to Beijing!
"Haven, sister, I'm leaving!"
At the entrance of Hulin County Railway Station, Li Changhe handed Niu Niu in his arms to his elder sister Li Xiaojun, and then waved to Li Xiaojun's family and Haiwen who came to see him off.
Then he boarded the train back to Beijing with full of regrets.
He stayed in Hulin County for a total of three days. During that time, in addition to helping his eldest sister clean up the new house, he also took them to the county town to do some shopping, such as buying new clothes for Niu Niu.
What's more, the clothes and items he bought were all high-end ones that didn't require tickets, after all, Li Changhe didn't have a ticket here.
In addition, Li Changhe originally wanted to do something good.
But after understanding it, I was filled with resentment.
The chronological text misled me!
At this time, Li Changhe had only two aged ginsengs wrapped in pine bark in his travel bag.
But it is not a hundred-year-old one. According to the leader, it is only about fifty or sixty years old.
Two fourth-grade leaf ginsengs!
Chen Xiling helped him find a few veteran ginseng bosses and bought it from them.
The century-old ginseng king with sixth-grade leaves is rarely seen in the mountains nowadays. Even if you see it, it is difficult to keep it and you have to sell it for money.
Because the ginseng leader always leads a group of people into the mountains to look for ginseng, and there are very few people who go into the mountains to look for ginseng independently. You have to make money if people follow you into the mountains.
Such good stuff cannot be kept and the news cannot be hidden. The medicinal material companies above will come here as soon as they hear about it.
As for Li Changhe's red ginseng trafficking plan, it was all gone during a drinking party with Chen Xiling.
Because Chen Xiling clearly told him the definition of speculation these days.
According to the "Instructions on Corruption, Theft, and Speculation" issued in February 1970, any unlicensed unit or individual is not allowed to engage in commercial activities in the city; any goods that are not allowed to be put on the market are not allowed to be put on the market.
Simply put, even if Li Changhe bought red ginseng from ginseng farmers in the countryside, he might not be able to sell it in Beijing.
Because he has no ID, state-owned pharmacies in Beijing will not and dare not accept his medicine, and may even report him.
Of course, if there are other relationships involved, such as someone inside, that’s another story.
Li Changhe finally gave up the idea of trafficking. After all, he was about to take the college entrance examination, and there was no need to take risks. If he was reported and lost the qualification to take the exam, it would be a big loss.
In the end, Li Changhe only bought two fourth-grade leaf mountain ginseng from the old ginseng boss, which were all private collections of the old ginseng boss.
It cost Li Changhe almost four hundred yuan, which translates to two hundred yuan per pill.
The price is a bit high. According to the boss, these are sold in state-owned pharmacies for at least 150 yuan per pill.
But they stay because they don't lack that little bit of money, and what they keep are all of good quality.
Li Changhe didn't mind those few dozen dollars, so the other party offered two hundred per pill and he didn't bargain.
I took two back, one for my dad, and the other one, of course, was for pleasing my future father-in-law.
Moreover, Li Changhe was certain that these old bosses must have good stuff in their hands. Some people might have the fifth-grade or sixth-grade ginseng king, and at least he knew who had it.
However, this kind of treasure will not be shown to others easily, nor will it find a buyer easily.
Li Changhe couldn't afford the money now. The starting price of a century-old mountain ginseng with six-grade leaves was more than two thousand even if it was sold in a state-owned pharmacy.
Of course, Li Changhe did not let Chen Xiling suffer any loss and leaked a piece of news to him, that a rural area might be restructured.
Li Changhe remembers that the household contract responsibility system will probably appear next year.
This has led to changes at the grassroots level in the village, such as abolishing the production team and replacing it with a village committee.
Li Changhe didn't remember the exact time, so he didn't tell Chen Xiling the exact time. He just told him that the higher-ups intended to change the grassroots organizations below, so Chen Xiling could make preparations early.
I believe that when the real changes come, Chen Xiling will admire Li Changhe's information channels even more.
Li Changhe didn't care whether the news would spread.
After all, fake news is flying everywhere these days, and many arrangements from above are changing every day, which is very chaotic and there is nothing to it at all.
As for Li Changhe, in addition to ginseng, Haiwen also got another good thing for Li Changhe, which is tiger bone wine.
Since we have eaten tiger meat, someone must have made tiger bone wine.
Before Haiwen left, he helped Li Changhe to pour a bottle of sealed tiger bone wine, which contained not only tiger bones but also many medicinal herbs.
According to Hai Wen, the wine has just been sealed and needs to be sealed for at least half a year before it can be drunk. It will be best if it is sealed for more than a year. Li Changhe is young and is not in a hurry to drink it. He will just put it away when he gets home.
Of course, there is also the wine from another part of the famous tiger. Li Changhe asked curiously, and Haiwen told him not to think about it.
There are many people eyeing the wine, including many local leaders, so it is impossible to buy it secretly.
On the train, Li Changhe sat on a hard seat, holding his travel bag in his hand. He still had a long way to go.
This time, it took Li Changhe three full days to return, because he rested for one night in Harbin.
Otherwise, I would not be able to bear the continuous rush of trains.
But even so, when Li Changhe came out of the train station in Beijing, he still had dark circles under his eyes.
This time he didn't save money, and didn't even take a tricycle. He directly hailed a Warsaw taxi.
These days, taxi prices vary from brand to brand.
Taking Warsaw taxi as an example, the basic taxi fare is 2 yuan, which is a basic distance of 2 kilometers. For distances exceeding 2 kilometers, it is 3 yuan per kilometer. Every minute of waiting for parking is also charged at 3 yuan.
It was about 15 kilometers from the train station to Li Changhe's home, and it cost him 5 yuan in the end.
But the money is worth it, because now all he wants is to sleep.
It was still early when he got home and his parents had not yet finished get off work. Li Changhe put his things in the house and fell asleep.
This sleep was so comfortable, much more comfortable than in the guesthouse.
After all, guesthouses these days are mostly multi-person rooms, and those high-end single rooms are for cadres, which are not affordable for ordinary people.
When Li Changhe woke up again, he was awakened by the smell of food at home.
At this time, his stomach was already growling with hunger.
When Li Changhe walked out of the house and came to the kitchen, Shen Yuxiu inside was frightened by Li Changhe.
"When did you come back?"
Shen Yuxiu looked at Li Changhe and asked in surprise.
"I came back in the afternoon and have been sleeping in the house."
"I thought so. I saw your door was closed all the time, and I thought you hadn't come back yet."
"By the way, how is your elder sister doing? Tell me quickly!"
"It's fine. When I went there, they had just built a new house and were living separately."
"I saw their new house, which is quite nice in the countryside. I used the money I brought to buy new furniture for them."
"Big sister is already studying hard and trying to get back to Beijing for the college entrance exam. I don't think it will be a problem."
Li Changhe did not say anything bad about Chen Aiguo. After all, everything over there had been dealt with.
Besides, Li Xiaojun is not divorced yet, so there is a high probability that Chen Aiguo will follow her to Beijing.
If Li Lishan and his wife knew what happened to Li Xiaojun, they would inevitably have some opinions about Chen Aiguo.
Li Changhe felt that there was no need to create conflicts between the couple. After all, there had been many human tragedies in this era.
"That's good. We are relieved to hear that your sister is doing well!"
"A few days ago, I dreamed that your sister was suffering over there. I felt so distressed when I woke up. Now I feel relieved."
"Oh, son, I forgot to ask you, why are there so many letters in your room?"
"There were two big bags full of letters. I opened a few and saw some of them were stuffed with money and food coupons. Where are they from?"
"I see that it's all written as Ling Jue Shou. Who is Ling Jue? Is it you?"
Shen Yuxiu was holding the dishes at this time and asked Li Changhe curiously.
Li Changhe was stunned!
What the hell?
There is money and food coupons in the letter?
Are all readers so wealthy these days?
I almost forgot, thanks for the tip in West Africa!
