Chapter 1. A peach pit left by Grandpa
The late autumn wind blowing on the body already makes people feel cold. Many of the pedestrians who come and go on the street have already put on winter clothes, and those girls who love beauty are still not afraid of the cold, and try to use the least amount of clothes to show the perfection of their curves in front of familiar or strangers.
This is Yundong City.
As an international metropolis, high-rise buildings are towering and traffic is constantly shuttling. On the street, you can often see some foreigners with high noses and blue eyes speaking fluent Chinese.
But this qiΔ has nothing to do with Lei Huanxi.
It was his most unlucky day.
After graduating from college hard, I couldn't find a job, so I temporarily worked as a doorman in the largest and most luxurious five-star Xihai Hotel in Yundong City, thinking about making money to support myself while looking for another job.
His parents divorced when he was a child and left him in the care of his grandfather. Grandpa is an ordinary peach farmer, and he trained his grandson until he graduated from college by planting peaches.
After studying in Yundong for three years, I thought that sooner or later I would integrate with this big city, but who would have thought that ......
A qiΔ originated this morning......
β¦β¦
Early in the morning, Lei Huanxi put on his doorman uniform, made a few jokes with the familiar waiter, and went to his post:
Gate.
Manager Song, the hall manager, took special care of him, and today Jiang Bin, the owner of Xihai Hotel, the chairman of the board of directors and president of Xihai Group, Jiang Shengli, the son of Jiang Shengli, will come, so that he can have more eyes and a sweeter mouth.
Lei Huanxi is not worried, he has no other skills, but he has a sweet mouth.
A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door, and Lei Huanxi hurriedly went up to open the door: "Welcome to Xihai Hotel." β
A pair of young men and women walked out, but with the woman's eyes, Lei Huanxi quickly turned his head away.
"Lei Huanxi?" the woman recognized at a glance.
"Ah, Xu Yanyan, hello. Lei Huanxi said hello stubbornly.
This is his classmate in college, the standard Bai Fumei, who has opened three companies in his family and is very rich. Lei Huanxi also pursued him when he was in college.
Of course, the final result can be imagined.
"Lei Huanxi, why are you here?" As soon as Xu Yanyan saw Lei Huanxi's work clothes, she immediately understood: "Ah, you are here as a doorman." Wei Sen, this is my college classmate Lei Huanxi, your father is the boss here, help him change to a more comfortable job. People are also strange and pitiful, mixed up like this. β
After speaking, the little bird hugged the man's shoulder: "I forgot to introduce you, my boyfriend Jiang Bin, Wei Sen is his English name, and he just came back from studying in the UK." Xihai Hotel is his father's property. β
Lei Huanxi smiled bitterly, Manager Song let him wait for Jiang Bin here early in the morning, but he didn't expect that people were waiting, but it was such a result.
"Hello Mr. Jiang, welcome to visit Xihai Hotel. Lei Huanxi calmed down and said without being humble or arrogant.
Xu Yanyan smiled and said a few words in Jiang Bin's ear, and Jiang Bin suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the toad you told me that wanted to pursue you." β
He said it very loudly, and Manager Song, who saw Jiang Bin's arrival and hurriedly walked to the door, heard it clearly, covered his mouth and laughed.
"Jiang Gongzi, if a person who comes back from studying abroad doesn't even understand the most basic respect, I don't think there is anything about him worthy of my envy and respect. Lei Huanxi was not angry at all: "If it weren't for having a good father, maybe you wouldn't even be as good as me, a toad, at least I still know how to treat an ordinary guest." β
From childhood to adulthood, because he was born in the countryside and his family was poor, Lei Huanxi was not less looked down upon by others. But he has long been accustomed to it, and will only take such white eyes and cynicism as an incentive for himself.
But Jiang Bin is different, from childhood to adulthood, he has been flattered everywhere, and he is used to being arrogant, when has he been taught a lesson by a little doorman?
Just as he was about to get angry, Lei Huanxi suddenly took off his hat and handed it to Manager Song: "Manager Song, I think I probably can't do it here, thank you for taking care of me during this time, I resign." β
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the hotel......
Jiang Bin has never been so face-saving, especially in front of his girlfriend who he just knew, his face was pale: "Manager Song, go and call me the one from the security department......
β¦β¦
Lei Huanxi changed his clothes and didn't want his salary.
As soon as I left Xihai Hotel, I felt a lot more relaxed. But when he looked up, he saw the security manager Gu Biao appearing in front of him with two security guards.
This Gu Biao turned out to be in mixed society, and it is said that he was in prison, and then he somehow entered the Xihai Hotel, and he was very trusted by the boss Jiang Shengli, even if the deputy general manager saw him in the hotel, he had to give him some face.
"Manager Gu, what's the matter?" An ominous cold came out of Lei Huanxi's heart.
"I heard that you offended Jiang Gongzi?" Gu Biao smiled sneeringly: "Jiang Gongzi is very unhappy. Lei Huanxi, I have no grievances with you, you can't blame me. β
Before Lei Huanxi could speak, two security guards had already pounced, and one by one held Lei Huanxi.
"Kids, close your eyes. Gu Biao walked over with a smile, and suddenly a "dong" punch hit Lei Huanxi's face firmly.
Lei Huanxi's nose was cracked in an instant, and the nosebleed couldn't stop flowing out.
Gu Biao didn't pause at all, and punched a few times in succession. He had practiced kung fu, and his fists were heavy and hard, and in a moment, Lei Huanxi's nose and face were swollen, and his face was bleeding.
Lei Huanxi didn't say a word, and he didn't ask for mercy. This was a big surprise to Gu Biao.
Seeing that the fight was too bad, Gu Biao motioned to the two subordinates to let go.
As soon as he let go, Lei Huanxi fell to the ground.
Gu Biao squatted down beside him: "Cheng, kid, the bones are quite hard." It's still the same sentence, don't blame me, blame yourself for offending Jiang Gongzi. β
After saying that, he stood up and walked away with two security guards......
β¦β¦
Lei Huan likes to move after a long time, and when he moves, he hurts badly.
The phone in his pocket rang, and Lei Huanxi reluctantly took out the phone: "Hey." β
The message was actually from the village chief Xu who grew up watching himself grow up, and his voice was very anxious: "Huanxi, come back quickly, your grandfather is no good!"
Ignoring the pain in his body, Lei Huan happily pulled his feet and ran.
There is only one family member around him, and there is only one grandfather......
Sitting on the bus, Lei Huanxi took a final look at Yundong City from the car window, leaving this time, he probably won't come back for a long time......
When you first set foot here, looking at the towering buildings and bustling streets, the dreams and ambitions you once had may not have been realized for a long time......
β¦β¦
Lei Huanxi's hometown is in Zhunan Town, which is more than an hour away from Yundong City.
Zhunan Town produces peaches, which are very famous throughout the country. And the peaches in Xiantao Village are the most famous in the entire Zhunan Town.
There is a beautiful legend about Xiantao Village. Legend has it that the Monkey King stole a peach and threw a peach pit away, which happened to fall here, so peaches began to be produced here.
The villagers of Xiantao Village often proudly say: "In addition to the peaches in the sky, the peaches are the biggest and most delicious in our place." β
Lei Huanxi hurried to hurry, but he was still a step late.
Grandpa has passed away.
Village Chief Xu told SΓΉ Huanxi that his grandfather had already had health problems, but in order not to worry his grandson, and in order to let his grandson develop his career in Yundong, his grandfather has always kept it a secret.
Until it can no longer be hidden......
Village Chief Xu sighed repeatedly: "If you can come back a few hours earlier, you can still see my old fellow......"
Thunder's tears of joy ran down the corners of his eyes......
β¦β¦
With the help of the village chief, I buried my grandfather, and when I came back, I saw a large villa erected at the east end of the village, surrounded by a high wall.
Lei Huanxi was a little curious: "Uncle Xu, when did we have such a villa?"
"A big boss in the city came down to build it. Village Chief Xu said: "I bought several acres of land in the village, and not only built this villa, but also opened up a small farm and a fish pond in it." Good fellow, one of the foremen is my distant nephew, and it is said that the house is decorated like a palace. The big boss is said to want to live here after retiring in the future, but it is strange that he has never come back since the construction was completed, and the water in the fish pond stinks. β
Ray let out an "oh" with joy.
Nowadays, rich people in big cities like to go to the countryside whenever they have free time, eat farm food, and breathe the farm air. Probably this boss thinks the same way.
Back at home, Village Chief Xu introduced Lei Huanxi to the aftermath of his grandfather's stay.
Lei Huanxi's grandfather is old and frail, and he only contracted half an acre of peach orchard, plus he couldn't take care of it after he got sick, and now there are only a few peach trees in it.
"As for the contract period, there are still five years to expire. Rejoice, look at this ......," Village Chief Xu asked tentatively.
"I'll come. Lei Huanxi didn't hesitate much: "I learned from my grandfather when I was a child, and I will plant it." β
Actually, where else can he go now?
"Cheng, as long as you can endure the hardships, take care of the peach orchard again. The little day will definitely get better. Village Chief Xu didn't say much, and took out a small box from his pocket: "This is what your grandfather asked me to leave for you." β
Lei Huanxi opened it and saw that it was just a peach pit, and he didn't know how many years this peach pit had been, and it had turned black.
Maybe grandpa means that he doesn't forget his roots, right?
Seeing off Village Chief Xu, Lei Huanxi's spirit perked up. There's nothing wrong with going back to the countryside, at least you don't have to go to the trouble of renting a cheap house.
The old mansion left by his grandfather is 120 square meters, and Lei Huanxi can live as much as he wants.
Seeing that it was not yet dark, Lei Huanxi picked up the box and walked out.
The peach orchard contracted by my grandfather is still some way away from the village, and it is very biased, and no one usually comes here. A few lonely peach trees stood there alone, how desolate and desolate it was.
I took out the walnut and held it in my hand, and sat down under a peach tree, what should I do in the future? Although I and my grandfather have learned the technique of growing peaches, after so many years, there is not much I can remember.
But what else will you do?
Thinking about it, Lei Huanxi actually fell asleep......
At this time, the walnut that he had been holding in his hand suddenly emitted a faint blue light. And Lei Huanxi, who had fallen asleep, couldn't feel it at all.
