The agarwood tree is not difficult to cut, but the trunk is large, and cutting
down that piece is also a hard work. +++ Popular Tanmei Novels:

Ji Huai hadn't done any heavy work and had poor physical fitness. He hung on a
tree and leaned forward to chop. Sweat ran down his cheeks, and his forehead
was also covered with sweat.
In order not to accidentally injure the thin layer of agarwood, cut it
farther.
Stopped and rested, cutting for nearly half an hour before he chopped down the
piece of wood.
After getting off the tree, he sat on the ground, panting heavily, reached out
his hand to wipe the sweat, took the piece of wood and cut it down a bit so
that he could put it back in a bamboo basket.
After cutting it, he put the piece of wood in the basket, got up, and walked
up the mountain again.
The more you go into the mountains, the more agarwood trees, the taller and
taller one is. Because there are too many, the production team leaders in the
village have recently organized the felling of the agarwood trees to burn
firewood.
He can't climb trees that are too tall, so he can only find some moderate
ones.
If he can climb up, he will also take the knife in the back basket. If there
is no broken trunk, he will work hard to cut the tree on it. It will be pruned
and trimmed. Maybe he will get it next time. Agarwood.
With one knife after another, his hands were numb.
This is extremely time-consuming. Ji Huai raised his head and glanced at the
sun. It was not so hot anymore, and the time to work was approaching. At this
time, he cut off the fourth piece of wood with agarwood, stuffed it into a
bamboo basket, picked up the firewood and started going down the mountain.
The trees that had just come down were heavy, and the bamboo basket contained
nearly twenty catties of trees. In addition, he had just spent a lot of effort
cutting down the trees, so he didn't collect a few firewood along the way.
The body was really overwhelming. When he went down the mountain, he was
walking and stopping. When he was about to reach the bottom of the mountain,
Ji Huai stopped and rested against a big tree.
"Choo Choo Choo."
"Chacha."
"Cuckoo~"
......
Today is a good day. The sun is very strong and the weather is clear. It
rained only a few days ago, and the sound of birds kept in densely wooded
areas.
Ji Huai also saw all kinds of birds flying around, with white feathers, black
feathers, and some colorful birds with long tails.
"Chacha slag."
There was a clear and sweet cry above his head. He looked up and saw that a
group of small birds were learning to fly, flying towards the big tree next to
him.
A breeze blew, the leaves swayed, rustled, and fresh air came in.
Ji Huai kept staring at the birds, as if thinking of something, his eyes
flashed, and he didn't think much. He changed the route down the mountain and
walked into the jungle next to him.
As he walked, he looked to the ground as if he was looking for something.
Finally, Ji Huai stopped on a small slope, locked the vine with small black
fruits, and quickly stepped forward, digging down along the roots, and he
could see that the immature fruits were blue.
The corner of Ji Huai's mouth hooked.
Before he could explore slowly, he tore off the vines on it and went down the
roots.
The vine above is extremely fragile, and it breaks as soon as it is pulled,
but its roots are extremely tough. Ji Huai pulled it vigorously, not only did
it not break, but it also scratched the palm of his hand.
The bloodshot overflowed quickly.
Ji Huai resisted the pain and climbed out to take the knife. When he came
back, he leaned down, grabbed the vine, dug it down with the aid of the knife,
and pulled it out little by little.
The surrounding soil was tight, and he heard the broadcast from the village.
He quickly squatted down to cut the root of the vine that was less than ten
centimeters away, put it backhand into the bamboo basket, and ran down the
mountain quickly.
Back at Feng's house, Feng Dafeng and Feng's mother were about to go to work.
As soon as they left the house, they saw Ji Huai coming back panting, his
clothes still mostly wet with sweat, and holding a few firewood in their
hands.
Just finished complimenting Jihuai’s mother Feng with Feng Dafeng: "..."
Feng Dafeng didn't know what expression he put on. If a **-year-old child goes
up the mountain for a few hours, the firewood he gets back is more than that.
"Parents." Ji Huai didn't notice anything. He called them, turned sideways to
let them go out first, then walked in by himself, first put the firewood in
the kitchen, and then brought the bamboo basket to his house.
Feng Qiaolan was called to bed rest by Feng's mother, but couldn't fall
asleep. She stayed asleep on the bed, touching her belly and interacting with
the child. Seeing him put the bamboo basket in, and seeing him take out a few
large pieces of wood and put them in the corner behind the cabinet, he looked
confused, "Is this going to be used as firewood?"
The wood was big and big, as if it had just been chopped down.
"This can be sold for money, help me watch." Ji Huai hurriedly confessed,
drank two sips of water, and went to work again.
Feng Qiaolan heard it inexplicably, she was bored on the bed, got out of bed
and walked to the pieces of wood. She couldn't squat down, so she bent over
and watched.
Can this sell money?
She took a closer look and found that these pieces of wood were similar in
that they were freshly chopped on one side, scarred on the other side, and a
layer of resin that resembled a yellowish brown was attached.
This kind of white tree is unremarkable. She should have seen a lot of them,
but she doesn't know what kind of tree it is.
Feng Qiaolan wanted to reach out and touch, but she stretched out her hand,
but when she was about to touch it, she stopped again and shrank back.
Some resins can be itchy and allergic to the touch. After she became pregnant,
she became more cautious.
evening.
There was a lot of work allocated today. The Feng family came back late and it
was dark. The kerosene lamp was lit in the house and the four of them gathered
around the table to eat.
The news that Ji Huai would not go to school was circulated throughout the
village. Feng Dafeng was still a little suspicious. On the way back, he met
the master who worked with Ji Huai.
Halfway through the meal, Feng Dafeng sandwiched a piece of dried radish and
ate sweet potato rice, pretending to ask Ji Huai unintentionally, "You really
decided not to go to college?"
Hearing that, Feng Qiaolan and Feng mother also raised their hearts,
especially Feng Qiaolan, the chopsticks she was holding tightly.
"I'm going to college." Ji Huai also looked up and turned back.
Feng Qiaolan's complexion changed suddenly. Feng's mother became anxious. Feng
Dafeng's complexion was even more ugly. Before she said anything, Ji Huai
said, "I said, I will never give up studying. As long as the college entrance
examination system exists, I will Go and participate. I will definitely go to
university, but not this year, I can take the exam again next year."
What he said was still as firm as before, except that he changed his college
entrance to another exam next year.
Feng Dafeng thought he would not go anymore and earn money to support his
family. After all, going to university is equivalent to studying for a few
more years. Feng Qiaolan would have to raise the children alone, and the
subsidies he received would support him alone.
Hearing what he said, his dissatisfaction was not less than before, and he
snorted with a dark face, "Next year? Next year, the child will not be young.
Who will help you raise the child? You have planned yourself well."
The college entrance examination next year will mean studying, and now I am
not very active at work. If I live well alone, I don’t care about my daughter-
in-law and children.
"I'll take Xiaolan and the kids." Ji Huai didn't get annoyed, and said his
plan.
Feng Qiaolan looked at him by mistake before she finished her words.
She thought he was staying with her for a year and had to leave next year, but
she didn't expect him to say so.
Feng Dafeng and Feng Mother didn’t expect him to say that. Of course, they
didn’t want their daughter to leave here and take the child away from home.
Feng Dafeng said with a sullen face, “When you are studying, what will you
raise your child for? Simple, and what will Xiao Lan do with you over there?"
"I will make a good plan." Ji Huai said and looked at Feng Qiaolan. "I hope
Xiaolan can take the college entrance examination with me. I will teach her.
If she passes the exam with me, she can also receive state subsidy to study.
At that time, our children don’t have to do hard work like us."
When these words came out, not only Feng Dafeng and Feng Mu were shocked and
dumb, Feng Qiaolan was also shocked. She didn't expect that he was planning to
take her away and wanted her to take the college entrance examination.
"Xiao Lan is married and pregnant, how can she take the college entrance
examination? That's not..."
Mother Feng recovered and felt it was not feasible. Just halfway through her
words, Ji Huai interrupted, "What's wrong with your marriage? What's wrong
with your pregnancy? There are no restrictions on registration. As long as she
wants to go, I will take her with her."
He said, looking at Feng Qiaolan with dark and bright eyes, "Do you want to
take the exam? Do you want to go to university with me?"
Feng Qiaolan was asked, looked at Feng Dafeng and Feng Mother, and touched her
bulging belly again, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Mother Feng was on the sidelines, and she obviously felt that it was
impossible, but Feng Dafeng was rare in silence.
"It doesn't matter if I don't want to take the exam. When I go to university,
I will work hard to make money to support you and your children. We have
worked hard for a few years. When I graduate and find a job, my life will be
better, and it will be better than now." Ji Huai changed his mind again.
"I... can I?" Feng Qiaolan was extremely unconfident.
If she can go to university, of course she wants to catch up with him, and she
also wants to go to university, she doesn't want to be like this for a
lifetime.
Ji Huai: "Why not?"
"The child is about to be born, what are you doing?" Feng's mother's thinking
is more traditional and feudal, and she believes that a woman will take care
of the child after she has a child.
The courage that Feng Qiaolan had just summoned vented a lot, and the eyes
that glowed with a gleam of light gradually faded.
"Let's take the children together." Ji Huai continued to look at her, with
expectations in his eyes, "What does it matter to have children? Should we be
sleepy here for the rest of our lives after we have children?"
"I want to go." Feng Qiaolan touched her stomach, looked at him, and said
softly again, "I want to go with you."
Ji Huai stretched his eyebrows and smiled, "Well, we will go together next
year."
This made Feng's mother very anxious. When Ji Huai went to take a shower at
the entrance of the village, she said to Feng Qiaolan, "Are you kidding me?
Isn't this just tossing?"
"Mom, Ji Huai will not stay here willingly. He can't bear the bitterness of
planting seedlings. He has decided not to go this year in order to accompany
me and his children. Will I have the heart to keep him here again next year?
He will stay. Come down?" Feng Qiaolan said, her eyes became firm, "If we
don't bet, we will live this life forever, and I am willing to bet, at least,
he hasn't thought of leaving me behind, and I am willing to go with him. ."
When Ji Huai said to give up college, she looked at him, her sadness was no
less than that of him, and her heart was very painful, and even thinking about
it, let him go.
Even if he doesn't take her next year, what can she do?
"This..." Feng's mother was blocked and couldn't refute, turned to look at
Feng Dafeng, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't guess his emotions.
Before entering the room, he left a hard sentence, "What's the use of saying
so much? Wait for you. Let’s talk about it if you can pass, otherwise it’s
just a mess of plans!"
"Won't he pass the exam this year? You care, why do you have to take the exam?
What exam?" Feng mother followed Feng Dafeng into the room, and wanted him to
stop it.
Instead of getting angry like before, Feng Dafeng said, "If he can really take
your daughter to college, let alone bring the child, I will help them raise
this child!"
Ji Huai doesn't have any other skills, and he still has the brain for reading.
How many college students are there in a radius of a few kilometers?
Although he didn't read much, he had talents from his ancestors and didn't
discriminate against scholars. He used to send Feng Qiaolan to study as much
as he could. Everyone thinks their family is a dead end because he only gave
birth to a daughter. If Feng Qiaolan goes to university, it will be different!
Mother Feng still felt it was impossible. Feng Dafeng said directly, "Do you
want her to dig in the ravine for a lifetime, or do you want her to go to
university and eat national food in the future? What's unclear about this? The
kid can go and take it. His daughter-in-law will go together!"
This remark also woke up Feng's mother, but she was still very entangled,
struggling with deep-rooted thoughts.
"Okay, let's talk about it!" Feng Dafeng waved his hand and went to bed.
