Chapter 18 [Running a Farm]

After hanging up Bai Xi's phone, Xia Zewen sat on the sofa with his waist straight, as if people who didn't know him would mistakenly think that he was participating in some academic seminar. And people who know him, understand him, and work beside him will not make a fuss, knowing that he is this virtue, and he has high requirements for himself, and he is also paralyzed, and some of them even bet in private whether this person will laugh or not, and whether the facial nerves are really necrotic because of the perennial stiff face.

Of course, this is all a joke, and no one dares to stab Xia Zewen with these things behind it, even Xia Zewu will not do this, but occasionally mention it when his brother is in a good mood, whether he listens or not, it is not his business.

Xia Zewen knew that he was too strict, but this was innate, and he couldn't change it, the only person who could change him was no longer there, and it didn't matter if he changed it or not.

After the two video calls in the afternoon, Xia Zewen had a certain understanding of the people in the uncle's family, although they had not met before, Xia Zewen felt that he felt very close to their family and liked them very much, which was probably the blood relationship. In addition to this, he also keenly felt that in that family, except for the eldest uncle, other people had a dispensable and ambiguous attitude towards recognizing their ancestors and returning to the Xia family in City B, and the eldest aunt did not really want to return to the Xia family, but it was just because of his uncle's dying instructions.

Xia Zewen shook his head gently, it seems that his father and third uncle's plans will not be implemented at all, if he wants the family to reunite, I am afraid that his father and third uncle will have to go to live in Wanjiazhuang. If that's the case, it's not bad, I heard that although it doesn't have beautiful scenery, it is definitely a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and it should be pretty good to retire, but I don't know what his father and third uncle think.

Thinking of Xia Zeming and Xia Zechang's cold talk about him, Xia Zewen couldn't laugh or cry, seriously, if they really didn't want to go back to City B to live, he wouldn't be reluctant, and his father and third uncle wouldn't do it, after all, people have lived there for decades, and it is equivalent to their hometown, forcing people to leave their hometown, it's not easy to say or hear, and they can't do such a thing. Besides, the entire Xia family, except for the deceased grandfather, no one else is qualified to ask them to live with other family members.

Xia Zewen let out a long sigh, forget it, if they want to stay there, they can stay there, anyway, the current transportation is so convenient, it will take three or four hours to drive from City B, even if you can't go to see it often, you can also make a phone call, the video call can't be more convenient, although it's a little far away, but it's not difficult to really want to meet.

What's more, now the eldest baby of the Xia family, Ji Ji, is six years old, and after the school starts in September, he will go to the third grade of primary school, according to the cleverness of that little guy, it is estimated that it will not take a few years in the summer to receive the news that Ji Ji will go to college, and when that time comes, if he comes to go to school in City B, he can also take care of it nearby, and the relationship between everyone will be more intimate. If you choose medical school, they can also give some help, after all, most of the people in the Xia family graduated from medical school, although few people inherit the mantle of traditional Chinese medicine from their grandfather, but at least no one leaves the profession of doctors.

Therefore, Xia Zewen is not very worried about the relationship between the two families, there is still a lot of time, and the top priority now is to meet the wishes of his father and third uncle, so that everyone can reunite as soon as possible.

Xia Zewen stood up and walked into the kitchen, took a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, took two sips, leaned against the refrigerator door, and somehow thought of the little appearance of Xia squeezing his eyebrows at him and pretending to be strict with himself, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and shook his head helplessly, I really don't know if it's good or bad for their family to have such a living treasure.

However, it is good to be smart and clever, after all, to be a doctor, you must see all directions, hear in all directions, and be sensitive in hearing, sight, smell, including intuition, and learn everything quickly, and your hands and feet must be flexible, which is the standard of being a good doctor. Xia Zewen thought for a while, then shook his head, he felt that he was thinking a little too much, he was still very young in the summer, and when he could really choose a career, there would be a long time, and it would not be too late to discuss it then.

However, Xia Zewen thought about it, it was not a big deal to plan his career in advance, but he didn't know if that kid was very interested in medicine, whether he was very talented in this area, and if he didn't forget it, he would do whatever he wanted, and they wouldn't force it. If so, it should also be a good choice to stay at the hospital where you run your home and become a doctor. Even though the doctor-patient relationship is a little more tense now, doctors are still a respected profession.

Xia Zewen thought of himself and his younger brother Zewu from the summer, when the two of them applied for the college entrance examination, they filled in the medical school, with their intelligence and love for learning, they studied until the master's degree, and when it came to the internship, it didn't take much effort to enter their own hospital, however, they didn't enjoy any special rights, and his father threw them directly into the emergency room that everyone avoided. However, this also exercised them, and at the same time let them see whether they were really suitable to be doctors, so, after the internship, the brothers "parted ways", they left medical school, transferred to business school, and entered the management of the hospital after graduation, while Zewu continued to stay in medical school, and after graduation, directly applied to go to the emergency department of the hospital. In Sawatake's own words, he was born to be an emergency doctor.

Recalled by the clock in the living room on time, Xia Zewen stretched his waist, put the half-drunk mineral water back in the refrigerator, slowly walked out, and sat down on the sofa again, maybe he should go to meet Ji Ji before his father and third uncle met with the uncle's family, or observe him, as the current leader of the Xia family, he feels that he has the right to know the situation of everyone in the family, especially in the summer, the future of the Xia family is in the hands of the new generation, if he cultivates a gentleman, it will not be good.

However, Xia Zewen believes that Ji Ji should not be the type of 纨/睸, she is only six years old and is so smart, and she knows what DNA tests she does. However, Xia Zewen felt a little headache, whether this little thing was too smart, or it was a genetic mutation or something else happened, he always felt that Ji Ji's personality/sex/seemed to be too lively, and the people of the Xia family were not so lively, it was Zewu, although he was as enthusiastic and unrestrained, but overall he was also very stable. Xia Zewen felt that his previous comments were not wrong at all, if he changed with Bai Zhongqiu in the summer, it would really be quite appropriate, in a way, Bai Zhongqiu's taciturn energy was the same as the Xia family.

Leaning on the sofa, Xia Zewen carefully recalled the summer he had seen before, thinking about his small movements, thinking about the tone and demeanor of his speech, he couldn't help frowning slightly, I don't know if it was his illusion, he always felt that this kid was a little similar to the bastard boy of the Bai family, and that bastard boy was also this virtue when he was young, and he only became that cold appearance when he grew up and entered the entertainment industry.

Could it be...... Xia Zewen thought of the tablet he confiscated from the secretary girl, the novels in it that were either crossed over or reborn, and many of them were about borrowing corpses to resurrect the soul, the situation was a bit similar, could it be ...... Xia Zewen shook his head, he felt that he was a little stunned, Bai Xu's sudden death hit him too hard, and he has not completely recovered until now, so when he sees some smart and clever elf beans, he will feel like his Xiaoxu, it is not good to go on like this, it is too unusual, it is estimated that Xiaoxu does not want to become like this.

As much as he could, he couldn't continue to fantasize anymore, but once Mr. Xia Zewen's brain hole was opened, he began to run wildly uncontrollably, and even he didn't know what he had been thinking about all afternoon, until Xia Zewu came back from work in the evening, he still maintained the posture of the afternoon, motionless.

Xia Zewu opened the door of the apartment, saw that the whole room was dark, and pouted, his brother was a workaholic, at this time, he should not be at home. However, when he turned on the light in the living room and saw the people sitting on the sofa coldly, he was really startled.

"Brother, you're at home, why don't you turn on the lights? Xia Zewu hung the briefcase on the hanger at the door, changed into indoor slippers, and walked to the sofa with a kick.

This is the apartment purchased by the Xia brothers in the urban area of City B, which is relatively close to their hospital, and the traffic is much more convenient than the old house in the suburbs, even if the car of two people is limited, they don't have to worry, from the apartment to the hospital, it takes half an hour to walk, and you don't have to worry about being late, you don't have to worry about traffic jams, you can also exercise, killing two birds with one stone.

"Are you back?" Xia Zewen covered his eyes with his hands, and the sudden light made him a little dazzling, "How is the situation in the hospital? It's the flu season, how is the emergency room?"

"Tsk, don't mention it, the emergency hall is like dumplings, people are crowded with people, and they can't move. I've been working three big night shifts in a row, and now I'm back for a meal, get some sleep, and go back early tomorrow morning. According to the experience of previous years, it is almost enough to be busy for another two or three days. Xia Zewu went to the bathroom, washed his hands carefully, and leaned against the door of the bathroom while wiping his hands and looked at his brother, "It's you, didn't go to work today?

"Xiao Wu. ”

"Huh?"

"I've found my uncle's family, and I got in touch with them today. ”

"Find ...... Found it?" Xia Zewu threw the towel in his hand into the basin, ran to Xia Zewen in a few steps, and asked urgently, "What's the matter? Why did you find it all at once?" Tell me quickly. ”

Xia Zewen concisely explained the whole thing, and finally said, "I want to go to Wanjiazhuang tomorrow to see them in person, see what the environment and state of their lives are, see what they are like in reality, and then take my father and third uncle over." What do you think?"

"Brother, isn't this okay?" Xia Zewu said with some hesitation, "You...... You're a voyeur, aren't you? If you let people know, they'll misunderstand us. ”

"No, they're not like that, and I'm careful not to let them find out. ”

"......" Xia Zewu looked at his firm expression, pursed his lips secretly, and didn't say anything anymore, his eldest brother he knew very well, as long as the matter was decided, don't say that the eight horses don't come back, even the eighty horses are useless, so he didn't bother to persuade him. "Since you have decided, go ahead, and tell me when you have news, although I am busy over there, I can still free up time to answer a call. By the way, when will the third uncle come back?"

"Probably tomorrow night, I'll go to Wanjiazhuang to have a look, and then I'll come back to pick him up, you're busy with yours, you don't need to ask for leave." ”

Xia Zewu nodded, walked into the kitchen and began to prepare dinner, thinking in his heart while doing it, I really don't know if his brother's voyeur plan tomorrow will end successfully.

When Xia Zewen and Xia Zewu brothers were discussing how to successfully sneak into Wanjiazhuang and get what they wanted without being discovered, the summer children who were the objects of observation by the Xia brothers were "fighting" with his little friend Bai Zhongqiu in the game, and the object of their "fighting" was the poor little bean next door.

Xiaodouzi's real name is Wan Feng, and the reason why he took the nickname Xiaodouzi is entirely because he was too small when he was born, only a small group, several laps smaller than a normal baby, and about the same size as a newborn puppy baby, soft and soft, and it looks particularly cute. Therefore, Wan Sanniang discussed with her husband and gave her son the nickname Xiaodouzi, which matched his image quite well. In fact, according to Xia's mother, Wan Sanniang wanted to call her son a puppy at first, but later she had to give up because it didn't sound good.

Maybe it's because the nickname is not very good or too appropriate, the growth rate of the little bean is not so fast, at least not as fast as the same age as him, basically born together in the summer, the summer season small pot friends can eat and drink since childhood, from the birth of a little bit of rapid growth, from the cute three-headed body quickly jumped to the four-headed body, the little bean barely entered the ranks of the three-headed body, although it is so, but the small has a small advantage, the body of the little bean / sex / excellent, on the tree, The next river is like playing, and the summer is different, although he can also climb a tree, swim in the river or something, but the speed is not as fast as Xiaodouzi, so, at this time, summer will also envy Xiaodouzi's flexibility.

However, Xiaodouzi envies more aspects of summer, the most important thing is that summer is too smart, learning everything is a learn, even playing games is better than him, every time he is "abused" by the summer to cry dad and call his mother, Xiaodouzi feels that his life is bleak.

Just when Xiaodouzi pitied his "miserable" fate, Xia Sue him, and his new friend Bai Zhongqiu also wanted to play their game and let Xiaodouzi take it.

Xiaodouzi's level is not particularly high, but it's not very low, when there is no summer, not to mention being able to walk sideways in the game, it's almost the same, I heard that I want to bring summer friends, Xiaodouzi felt a little incredible, and later I learned that Bai Zhongqiu chose the same profession as himself, all of them are magicians, and now Xiaodouzi is happy, and finally can win the season in the game, which is really a very good start.

It's really a good start, watching a novice run around behind him, Xiaodouzi is called a proud, that is called a majesty, and the previous dejected appearance formed a world of difference. Actually, you can't blame Xiaodouzi for changing too quickly, it's really because he usually bullied him too many times in the summer, and he resisted too many times, so that the number of times he was suppressed was proportional to the number of times he resisted. However, Xiaodouzi can't help it, who makes Summer too powerful and too smart? He is a mountain that he can't overcome.

Now Bai Zhongqiu also came to play the game, Xiaodouzi felt that the time for him to counterattack with waste wood had come, bullying newcomers or something, although it was not very nice to say, but in the game, all people have to go through this process, and all the numbers are developed from newcomers, and Bai Zhongqiu is no exception. Besides, he just introduced the situation in the game to Bai Zhongqiu in a very proud tone, and when he finished slashing the monster, he smiled at the little newcomer a few times, and he hadn't done anything else, and it wasn't too much.

However, Xiaodouzi never thought that Bai Zhongqiu and Xia Xia were actually the same kind of people, all of them were so smart, just after playing the game for more than half an hour, people could break away from themselves and upgrade alone, and later, although they couldn't catch up with their own level, but with their skills, they could snatch the prey from their hands five or six times out of ten. Although he hadn't seen Bai Zhongqiu, Xiao Douzi's intuition told him that it was not a good thing to be friends with the little bastard Ji Ji - poor Xiao Douzi didn't think about it, he was angry and scolded himself, and he was also a friend recognized by Summer!

Little Bean looked at the duck in his hand...... No, the monsters in hand disappeared from his eyes one by one, watching the equipment scattered on the ground being picked up by Bai Zhongqiu one by one, without leaving him any meaning, he was sad and almost crying, he didn't expect it, after a summer, and another Bai Zhongqiu, all of them were super fierce storage zĂ i, it was even more difficult to surpass, he suddenly felt that his game life was completely hopeless, it was better to give up this game!

"Brother Xiaoqiu, don't bully Xiaodouzi too much, he has tears in his eyes, and he wants me to coax him when he turns around. Xia held the tablet, sat Bai Zhongqiu stretched out his hand, leaned over, glanced at the little man representing Xiaodouzi on the screen, and saw the depressed look on the villain's face, he giggled, "Xiaodouzi is so powerful and cooperative, every time I tease him, I feel quite accomplished." You'll be able to meet him tomorrow, and I'll introduce you, and I'm sure you'll be friends too. ”

"No, you can't. Bai Zhongqiu closed the page of the game, turned around and looked at Xia Xia very seriously.

"What?" Xia tilted his head and winked at Bai Zhongqiu, he didn't understand what the other party meant.

"You can't be a friend, only you are my friend. ”

Hearing Bai Zhongqiu so straightforward, Xia Xia didn't know what to say, he couldn't explain to a nine-year-old child that a person needs many friends, but only one confidant and something like that, so he only took a deep breath and said, "Okay, however, his mother and my mother are very good friends, and Xiaodouzi and I have a good relationship, Brother Xiaoqiu, you have to live at home for a long time, it is necessary to get to know each other." ”

"Good. Bai Zhongqiu didn't object this time, he didn't want to admit that Xiaodouzi was his friend, it didn't mean that he didn't admit that Xiaodouzi was Ji Ji's friend. Ji Ji's friends, it is naturally necessary to get to know each other, and there is no need for deep friendship. "You looked serious just now, what were you doing?"

"I'm drawing. In the summer, he showed Bai Zhongqiu the picture he had drawn, "You know, the back mountain is contracted by our family, except for what I said before to plant fruit trees, other places can't be empty, just now I thought about it, do you want to open a farm or something, raise some calves, lambs, piglets and the like." Although it is quite desolate in the eyes of us humans, for the animals, the weeds there are delicious food. Not to mention other animals, they are quite happy as soon as they arrive in the mountains. ”

Bai Zhongqiu looked at the map drawn in the summer, although it was crooked, but he could still see the general meaning, the summer divided the back mountain into several areas, one area was dedicated to planting fruit trees, and one area was dedicated to raising cattle and sheep, and in this area, it was also divided into many small boxes, in addition, the other areas were still blank, and I didn't know what to do.

"It's empty. ”

"yes. Xia Xia nodded, put away the tablet and put it in the drawer, closed the computer, and took Bai Zhongqiu to lie on the bed together, "I haven't figured out what to do yet, I'll ask my uncle tomorrow and then decide, although grandma said that this mountain is for me, whatever I toss, but I still have to make them meaningful, isn't it?"

"Ji Ji knows what it means to be meaningful?"

"Meaning...... It's just that you can make money!"

"Yes, that's right. Hearing Xia's answer, Bai Zhongqiu raised his eyebrows slightly, sure enough, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, he likes to make money, and his family is like this every season, it's really good. After sighing with emotion, Bai Zhongqiu stretched out his finger and pointed to the small grids that had been drawn, and asked, "What about these small frames, and what are they for?"

"You have to keep the animals separated, the lambs together, the calves together, the piglets together, separated by wooden pens in between, they can't be kept together, there may be fights or something. Seeing Bai Zhongqiu looking at him with a puzzled gaze, Xia Xia pursed his lips, "It's not what I said, it was said by the little uncle, and there are people in the village who raise this." ”

"Oh!"

"Alright, it's not early, we have to go to bed, and save ourselves a moment of being caught by my dad, and Rory is babbling endlessly. Xia pouted, obviously he had a deep understanding of Xia's father's verbosity, and if it wasn't necessary, he didn't want to experience it a few more times.

"Good. ”

Seeing that Xia stumbled into the towel quilt, Bai Zhongqiu turned off the lamp and obediently lay down beside Xia Xia. Seeing Xia Xia who had closed his eyes next to him, Bai Zhongqiu's heart was a little excited, he didn't expect that his dream for many years would come true like this, and he suddenly felt a little unreal.

If Xia Xia knew about Bai Zhongqiu's current mental activities, he would definitely say that Bai Zhongqiu was thinking a little too much, but it was just two little/fart/children who hadn't grown up lying on the same bed, and they didn't have to take it to heart, like when he and Bai Xi were young, they also ate and slept together, and it wasn't until they were in high school that the two of them were "forced" to separate.

Because of the rain, the night was relatively cool, everyone slept well, and when the summer and Bai Zhongqiu woke up, the sun had risen very high, and the fragrance of millet porridge could be faintly smelled.

Summer greeted Bai Zhongqiu, quickly got up from the bed, cleaned himself up, with a wet little head, left the house one after another, let Bai Zhongqiu go to Bai Xi in the summer, and he ran to feed the dogs and rabbits, and when he served these little animals and breakfast was ready, he ran to the kitchen and helped Father Xia and Uncle Xia bring the freshly baked egg cake into the hall, the smell was simply trying to make him drool.

After breakfast, Father Xia, Uncle Xia and Bai Xi began to go to work in the city, and in the summer, they dragged Bai Zhongqiu and called the little beans next door, and took the dog army to the back mountain to inspect. I was a little worried about the summer rain, and I don't know what the heavy rain last night had turned into on the mountain, and whether the tree pits that had been dug still needed to be reworked.

However, from the process of leaving the house and walking back to the mountain, Summer always felt as if someone was observing him, but every time he looked back, the uncomfortable feeling of being looked up and down disappeared. Back and forth several times, Summer decided that this was definitely not his delusion, plus he had been in the department/team for several months in his previous life, and he was still vigilant/sexual/, so he decided to catch this uninvited guest with his own hands.
