Chapter 8 It's good to keep a low profile and be comfortable with yourself
"Coke, coffee, tea. ”
Long Peng didn't answer, pointed to a few cans of drinks soaked in well water on the stone table and asked, "What kind of drink?"
Yao Yao turned her beautiful figure, because she was tall, so much so that her head touched two dense strings of lilac wisteria flowers on both sides, as if hanging on her head as decoration.
The flowers are beautiful, and the people are also beautiful.
She just looked at Long Surging quietly.
Long Peng's brows furrowed slightly, but he didn't dodge and flinch, and looked at her quietly as well.
After a long time, Yao Yao sighed slightly: "Since you are so resistant here, then why do you want to come back?"
Long Peng's brows furrowed a little tighter, and a trace of anger appeared in his eyes: "This is my ancestral home, and it is also my home." ”
Yao Yao was silent, turned her head to look at the bunches of wisteria flowers hanging in front of her, and said softly: "These wisteria flowers are so beautiful, they shouldn't be hidden here and unknown." ”
"This is the ancestral home of the Long family, it is the Long family, and no one can force it to bloom beautiful to everyone. ”
Long Peng's voice regained his composure, and he sat back down on the folding bench.
Yao Yao looked at him again: "Why? Is it because someone has hurt it? and even wants to uproot it?"
"Trees have growth rings, and flowers have memories. ”
Long Peng smiled, pointed to the mansion, and his eyes were a little sharp: "Look, it is just born from the mansion, in this quiet and peaceful courtyard, all the beauty and splendor are here, and it blooms itself, what's wrong with it?"
Yao Yao still didn't give up, and continued: "After all, the annual ring is only history, and memory is only the past. Now, the air outside is much fresher. Open the door, and the wisteria flowers may be more beautiful and blooming. ”
"You said it too, it's just possible. ”
Long Peng picked up the can of coffee and opened it, and took a sip with his head raised: "It may also be a little bitter like this coffee." ”
Yao Yao pursed her lips: "Maybe, this beauty is needed outside." ”
Long Peng shrugged: "I don't have this obligation. ”
Yao Yao choked for a moment, sighed softly again, and turned to walk towards the door.
Long Peng Peng watched quietly, without the slightest intention of making a sound.
Walking to the door, Yao Yao stopped, did not look back, and said softly: "Yesterday I went to the Fengmentang Reservoir in the hope of finding new resources. ”
After a pause, Yao Yao sighed and said, "This village is too twilight. Those who went out did not want to come back, and those who remained in the village could not see the future, day after day. ”
Long Peng didn't answer, just looked at her back, his eyes calm and waveless.
"Yangtian Village is very large, and likewise, there are many poor people, and as time goes by, more and more people fall into poverty because of various accidents. ”
"Because of the market, costs and various factors, bulk farming and cultivation have become unprofitable and even lose money. If we can't find new projects and resources and win the support of our superiors, in a few years, Yangtian Village will become an orphanage. ”
After speaking, Yao Yao turned around slightly, her eyes were calm, but her eyes were full of enthusiasm: "There are still many children here, and there are also many people like Yang Xiayao who want to change the status quo." ”
Long Peng's eyebrows twitched slightly: "Oh?"
After receiving the response, Yao Yao's eyes suddenly burst into light, pointing to the wisteria flower above Long Peng's head, and his voice was raised: "Yang Tiancun actually has a lot of good things. We need to make the best use of our planning, we need more channels, we need deeper digging and integration. ”
"And then?"
"Then we can rejuvenate Yangtian Village, give the children a clearer future, and let the elderly live out their old age in peace. ”
"Very ambitious plans. ”
Long Peng smiled and nodded: "I wish you success." ”
Yao Yao froze instantly, and her beautiful eyes quickly dimmed: "Still can't impress you?"
Long Peng shook his head: "I'm just coming back for a vacation." ”
Yao Yao looked at him and suddenly said, "You are very poor, right?"
Long Peng was stunned for a moment, and smiled noncommittally.
"I'm ready to apply to the above for a couple of projects. ”
Yao Yao said again: "If you can help us and contribute to it, I can promise to give you a certain share on behalf of Yang Tiancun." According to my plan, as long as all the resources of Yangtian Village are integrated and promoted, I dare not say that I will make a fortune, and there is no problem for every family to be well-off. ”
"You're a very good lobbyist. ”
Long Peng raised his hand and made a gesture of please: "I said, I'm just coming back for vacation." I just want to live here in peace for a while. ”
Yao Yao was completely out of whack, watching Long Peng open his mouth to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything more, turned around and stepped out of the threshold.
Watching her figure disappear outside the door, Long Peng tugged at the corners of his mouth and poured the whole can of coffee into his stomach in one gulp.
After a moment of daze, Long Peng took a large gardener's shovel and transplanted a few rhododendrons in the backyard that had not yet grown to the courtyard gate and fence. It grows extremely fast, and it doesn't take long to climb all over the walls and the eaves of the courtyard gates.
He also bought a lot of pothos and other plants online, and planned to make the walls of several transepts into landscape walls.
In just a few months, Long Peng believes that the whole mansion can be renewed, the exterior wall is flaming red rhododendrons, the ear room is full of greenery, and the main house wisteria flowers are swaying, plus the huge ancient banyan in the backyard, the eyes are full of eye-catching colors and fragrances.
This is the life I imagined, and it doesn't matter how long I stay at home.
Well...... The body still has to exercise, anyway, the yard is big enough, and I bought simple fitness equipment, and if you want to swim, you can also go to the Fengmentang Reservoir......
You can't be left behind.
Planed, cleaned up, laid out......
For ten days in a row, Yao Yao and Yang Xiayao didn't come to disturb him again; Zhang Laozuo came once and routinely told him some words to pay attention to safety; some people from nearby neighbors also came to see the excitement, and they didn't know what to toss when they saw him making a big move, so they couldn't ask a few words and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
However, the news of the return of the descendants of the Long family, under the propaganda of the third aunt and six mothers-in-law, has long spread throughout Yangtian Village, but it has not caused any waves.
After all, whether it is the favor of the Long family or the grudge against the Long family, it is at least three generations ago, even if it is a long-term person, it has long faded.
In ten days, Long Peng arranged the room, kitchen, and living room, installed a cage swing on the banyan tree in the backyard, climbed up to the roof and placed or buried a cold light lamp under the wisteria flowers and the mansion, the ear room, and the fence, and even installed a steel frame on the walls of several ear rooms, placed pots of green plants, and installed an irrigation system that can irrigate the flowers and trees of the entire mansion.
As for the big banyan tree in the backyard, Long Peng thought about it and gave up the idea of installing spotlights.
The upper village is originally high, if the big banyan tree is equipped with spotlights, then at night, almost the entire Yangtian Village can see a green and secluded cloud, which is too eye-catching.
Low profile.
I came back for a vacation, not to renovate and arrange scenic spots in Yangtian Village.
On the evening of the tenth day, Long Peng finally connected the last set of lines, checked it again, and made sure that there was no problem, so he threw the pliers in his hand on the table.
Watching the last trace of sunset disappear, Long Peng raised his hand and closed the power switch.
