Chapter 32: Castle Peak Village

Jiangnan Province, Shuidong County, Qingshan Village.

As a well-known poverty-stricken county in Jiangnan Province, Shuidong County does not have much but many poor people, not only young people go out to work, but even many elderly people choose to go to surrounding cities to make a living.

As the most remote mountain village in Shuidong County, Qingshan Village is not to mention the situation.

"Summer lame...... Uncle Xia, why are you still hoeing here?" said a middle-aged woman passing by in front of a dilapidated house and looking at the middle-aged man in the vegetable garden in front of the house in surprise.

The middle-aged man raised his head and said lightly: "I don't hoe the ground, you Liu Meihua invite me to dinner?"

Liu Meihua was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Uncle Xia, you are really joking, Xiaohong is so promising, where do you need me to invite you to dinner?"

"What's wrong with Xiaohong?" The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then put down his hoe and limped towards Liu Meihua.

Liu Meihua was surprised: "You don't know?" Then she slapped her head and said, "Oh yes, I almost forgot, you don't even have a phone at home." ”

"Say it quickly. The middle-aged man said with a frown.

Looking at the other party's cold eyes, Liu Meihua was also a little worried in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Xiaohong, she is on TV, don't you know yet?"

"On TV, what TV is she on?" said the middle-aged man in astonishment.

Liu Meihua said with a smile: "I don't know very well, when I was working in a restaurant in Langzhou some time ago, I happened to see it on TV, it seems to be a program of Shonan Satellite TV, and those young people especially like to watch it." ”

The middle-aged man snorted coldly: "What's the point of going to TV, Lao Tzu also went on it back then, it's not like farming here?"

Liu Meihua said disdainfully: "When did you have the old yellow calendar, can you compare? Besides, Xiaohong is sitting in a Mercedes-Benz now, you haven't seen it, have you?"

"Mercedes-Benz?" the middle-aged man frowned, "Where did she come from?"

"She doesn't, her boyfriend does. Liu Meihua showed envy on her face, "I saw it last time, the young man looks like a talent, and he is so rich, Xiaohong can be regarded as outstanding this time, it seems that it was really useful for you to let her study that art school in the first place." ”

The middle-aged man's face sank and said, "What nonsense, get out of here!"

Seeing that the middle-aged man seemed to be angry, Liu Meihua walked away, and after a while, she turned her head and spat at the middle-aged man's back, and said disdainfully: "I really don't know what to do, the rich will dump your daughter sooner or later." ”

Night falls.

"Lao Xia, is the rumor in the village really fake today?Xiaohong is really taken by the rich?" At the dining table, a thin middle-aged woman put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked.

The middle-aged man said impatiently: "You don't care if he's really fake, what does it have to do with you?"

The middle-aged woman was dissatisfied: "What do you mean Xia Licheng? Why does it have nothing to do with me? Since Xiaohong is out, she has to help her brother, right?"

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy next to him interjected, "Mom, I don't need anyone's help." ”

"Shut up!" said the middle-aged woman angrily, "You don't need help, so what can you do?

Xia Licheng took out a cheap cigarette and lit it, took a deep breath, and did not speak.

The young man stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with farming?

"You ......" The middle-aged woman glared angrily, and after a while, she suddenly wiped away her tears and choked up: "One or two of you, you know that if you are against me, am I for myself? ”

The young man suddenly panicked and said, "Mom, don't cry, I'll listen to you." ”

Only then did the middle-aged woman stop her tears and look at Xia Licheng.

Xia Licheng finished smoking a cigarette, stomped on the cigarette butt still on the ground and stomped it out, and said in a muffled voice: "Go to the village tomorrow and call Xiaohong and ask her to come back." ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "No, what's the use of her coming back? Besides, what if Xiaohong is too busy with work to take a break? After all, she is still on TV, so she must be very busy." ”

"If she doesn't come back, then you're going?" Xia Licheng glanced at her.

"What am I going to do? As she spoke, the middle-aged woman looked at the young man on the side and admonished, "Xiaoyu, tomorrow you will go to Langzhou City with the people in the village and find your sister and your sister's boyfriend." ”

Xia Licheng frowned and said, "Xiaoyu is less than sixteen years old. ”

"What's wrong with being sixteen? I was sixteen years old and went to the next county to sell brooms. "Middle-aged women don't have a good airway.

The boy hesitated, "Mom, I don't want to go." ”

The middle-aged woman glared at him and said, "Do you think your mother wants you to go? Mom isn't afraid that your sister will be deceived? Besides, when your sister came back and didn't bring you a gift, can't you have a little conscience?"

The boy lowered his head and muttered, "Just go." ”

The middle-aged woman turned her anger into joy and said, "Remember, after you go, you must find out the identity of your sister's boyfriend to see if he is really rich, in case he is a poor ......."

Xia Licheng suddenly slapped the table and said coldly: "Deng Xia, whether he has money or not has nothing to do with our Xia family!"

"What are you fierce? Isn't it good to be rich? Could it be that Xiaohong wants to find someone like you to farm the land to be happy?" The middle-aged woman known as Deng Xia retorted: "Besides, what age is it now, being rich is someone else's ability, if you become your son-in-law, who in this village will dare to call you Xia Cripple in the future?"

Xia Licheng snorted coldly and did not answer.

"It's decided, Xiaoyu will go to Langzhou City tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will call Xiaohong and ask her to pick up people at the station. Deng Xia said.

…………

Xia Hongwu hung up the phone with a confused face, what is the situation?

"Sister Hongmist, what's wrong with you?" said a handsome girl in the office as she printed out the contract.

This office was rented by Li Zhe for Xia Hongwu and used as an online store office, although the area is only a few dozen square meters, but there are only two people at present, which is more than enough.

The girl who talked to Xia Hongwu was also the only employee Li Zhe recruited for her on the Internet, graduated from a local ordinary university, the little girl worked diligently, and her hands and feet were quick, and she quickly won Xia Hongwu's favor.

"It's nothing, Lin Jing, you go to lunch first, and then get it right when you get back." Xia Hongwu said.

The girl known as Lin Jing nodded and said, "Sister Hongwu, don't you eat it?"

Xia Hongwu shook his head and said, "I still have some things, you go first." ”

"Okay, Sister Red Mist. Lin Jing, who was already hungry, sorted out the documents briefly, and then quickly opened the office door and went straight to the elevator.

Xia Hongwu sighed faintly, walked downstairs after a while, beckoned to stop a taxi, and after Xia Hongwu got into the car, the taxi sped towards the North Bus Station.
