Chapter 721: Guest
Early in the morning, Wen Xu took Xiao Yao to finish eating, and after going out for a walk, he just returned to the gate of his yard, and before he entered the yard, he heard the voices of Wen Shida and Wen Shigui's brother from the courtyard.
Stepping into the courtyard, Wen Xu said to Xiao Yao: "Go and pour some water for a few uncles!"
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Wen Shigui immediately stood up: "No need, let's wait for you to set off together!"
"So early?" Wen Xu looked at the sun above his head that had not risen much, at this time, it was estimated that only a few families in the village had just finished breakfast, this is still the case that there are children going to school at home, if there are no children in the family going to school, it is estimated that he has just cooked at this time, and he doesn't need to look at other houses, Wen Xu looked up here The chimney of the old man's house next door has just smoked.
Wen Shida also stood up, and then said: "What's early, you see what time it is, it's only going to be nine o'clock in a while, can you be diligent when you are a guest?"
Wen Xu glanced at the watch on his wrist and asked Wen Shida, "Third brother, are you fifty minutes away from it now?"
It's only eight o'clock, and he actually opens his mouth to nine o'clock after a while, and his moment is really long enough.
Wen Shida lowered his head and patted the watch in his hand, probably because the watch was expensive, and he was not willing to shoot too hard: "Oops, my watch may be a little faster!"
Wen Xu didn't want to answer him at all, but he could see that the elder brother was estimated to be scratched by a few cats, and he was willing to wait to go to Wang Zhe to listen to some Peking Opera masters such as Yu He Zhi.
"I know you're in a hurry, but let's go now, we'll be at someone's door before nine o'clock, maybe people haven't gotten up, how embarrassing is it to go to someone's house?" Wen Xu persuaded loudly.
Wen Shiqing thought for a moment and said to Lao Ke and the two: "What Shixu said is also right, why don't we wait for a while?"
Wen Shida then sat back on the couch in the courtyard: "Then let's wait for a while!" Xiao Yao, bring the chessboard to the third uncle, and accompany the third uncle to play two games!"
Xiao Yao said with a smile when he heard this: "I can't accompany you today, I'm going to my grandfather to learn calligraphy soon, you better find someone else to accompany you!"
After speaking, Xiao Yao trotted towards the house and went to get chess for Wen Shida.
"You old people sit first, I'll go into the house to wash up, I just came back sweaty!" Wen Xu stretched out his finger and pointed to the sweat running out of his body.
Wen Shida said: "Why did you change to running today, and Lao Dao didn't mention the two of you?"
"The master came to a friend today, and now he is talking nonsense with his friends, he didn't come to the house today to see the little apprentices, how can he have time to pick us up!" Wen Xu said with a smile, then turned his head and entered the house.
Lao Dao came to a friend today, I heard that it was an old friend, Wen Xu originally wanted to visit, but he gave Lao Dao a sentence about you, so he honestly retracted home.
Waiting for Xiao Yao to marry the chessboard, he took another plate of peanuts and melon seeds for the old man, and the two of them played chess and watched the old man.
Wen Xu finished taking a shower, changed his clothes, went downstairs, and talked to Shi Shangzhen, who was playing on the carpet with his children, and went out by himself.
Shi Shangzhen asked, "When will you come back in the afternoon?"
"Why, what else do you have to do in the afternoon?" Wen Xu replied after a moment's thought.
"It's okay, I'm just asking casually! You're not here, and neither is the master, I'm a little struggling to watch the children alone, and if I have something to do, I have to find someone to take care of it," Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu said: "It's okay, if you have something, you can also hand over your son to Dongliang, Dahua and Erhua to watch, and besides, there are cameras at home, you can use your mobile phone to see the situation of the children anytime and anywhere, what are you afraid of?"
"It's at least a few minutes away from coming back, in case there's something or something, I'm afraid I'm not in a hurry" Shi Shang was really afraid of leaving the child alone at home.
This Wen Xu felt that there was no way, in fact, there was nothing to do at home for the children, all of them were pillars or two flowers, and even big flowers were good hands at watching children, but out of maternal love, Shi Shang was really worried in Wen Xu's opinion, a little too much, in the past, the children in the village, many adults went to work in the field and put them directly on the small bed at home, waiting for a few hours after the work was done, and they could only see the children when they got home, and they didn't look good.
"Then you can find someone to help take a look, the third sister-in-law happens to be at home with the child, please ask her to take care of it," Wen Xu said.
Hearing Wen Xu say this, Shi Shangzhen nodded: "Okay!"
The third sister-in-law is Wen Shida's daughter-in-law, and her little girl is a month younger than Wen Xu's boys, and her cousins can just play together.
The matter at home was solved, Wen Xu took the small gift for Wang Zhe and walked to the courtyard.
Putting the things in his hand on the couch, Wen Xu was ready to stand next to him and watch the two brothers play chess for a while.
"What are you preparing?" Wen Shigui glanced at the things that Wen Xu had placed on the couch.
"It's nothing, a few taels of tea, and two bottles of home-brewed red wine," Wen Xu said.
Wen Xu's tea is naturally orthodox Fu Zeyan, now send this thing, a pound is a big deal, a year in spring and autumn is a few hundred pounds of output, put it in the country is not enough to even listen to a sound, with the fame of the price is also all the way up. It's not that Wen Xu is stingy, it's a bit scary to send a pound into a price, if you meet someone who is particular about it, it will be difficult for people to return this gift, so Wen Xu wrapped one or two halves.
As soon as Wen Xu mentioned wine here, Wen Shigui opened his mouth and asked, "You sell dozens of bottles of wine a year, do you make any money?"
The tea in Wenjia Village is gratifying, and the price is not going to rise, but Wen Xu's own red wine is just the opposite, both the wine quality and the packaging are first-class, and the price is expensive enough, but the real sales volume is very unsatisfactory, just like the prediction, the high-end market of Chinese red wine in the United States is not recognized, that is, Qiao's self-operated restaurant can sell seven or eight bottles a year, and there are some American masters who completely like wine bottles, so they spent money to buy wine, and sold less than fifty bottles last year, and the remaining nearly two hundred bottles are in Qiao's wine cellar。 It can be said that the pants are almost gone, but fortunately, whether it is Wen Xu, Qiao or Yan Dong, there are leggings inside, and they don't rely on this thing to make money.
Wen Shida and Wen Xu's two families are very close, the child is about the same age, he knows about this, so he said: "What do you earn! The cost of a bottle is a few thousand smaller, and the price of a bottle of wine is still a knife, and a few can afford to drink?"
"Then don't do it! Once the small distillery opens, it will cost a lot of money to hire workers for a year" Wen Shiqing looked down at the situation in front of him, and also said.
Wen Xu smiled: "It's okay, resist and play!"
Wen Xu also wanted to stop playing, but Qiao wanted to continue playing, so Wen Xu couldn't open his mouth and say nothing.
Everyone knew that Wen Xu had rice in his pocket, so he stopped saying a word.
At this time, the mobile phone in Wen Xu's pocket rang, and when he took it out, he saw that Wang Zhe was calling, and after chatting a few words, Wen Xu smiled and said to the old brother: "Let's go, the people asked over there, when will we arrive."
The servants had already heard it when Wen Xu answered the phone just now, and now they had already stood up and waited to leave.
"What are you doing?" Wen Shigui stopped Wen Xu.
Wen Xu said in surprise: "Go by car!"
"Which car he drives, his house is near Wang Lizhuang, let's ride a horse to drive around the road," Wen Shigui said.
Hearing Wen Shigui say this, Wen Xu thought for a while and found that it was indeed the case, if it was a car, it could only go around the old town, and if it was a horse, it could be directly passed along the foot of the mountain from the old stone bridge at the entrance of the village, saving half of the road.
"Okay, let's ride a horse, then!" Wen Xu said.
"Then let's meet at the entrance of the village," Wen Shida said.
Everyone had no opinion, and the old brother had also discussed it, so the four of them went separately and led their horses. Wen Xu summoned Erbai, prepared a saddle and hung the gift on the stake head of the saddle, stepped on the horse's back and turned to the horse road behind his yard, and galloped along the horse road towards the entrance of the village.
There is now a special horse road in the village, which is learned by foreigners, and there is a green grass in the middle of the half-person-high white fence on both sides, which is quite stylish. When it was first built, there were people here every day, and now, after everyone got used to it, there were fewer people on the horse road, but if you ride a horse slowly, the weeping willows on both sides are in a row, the green shade of the road, a little little wind blows so much, the light and shadow are mottled, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and there are more people than when they just opened, and they don't know how many times the poetry and picturesqueness.
When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the old brother was already waiting, and when he saw Wen Xu running over, before Wen Xu arrived, the old brother had already urged the horse to trot.
Wen Xu had to urge Erbai, and it took two or three minutes to catch up with the old brother.
More than five meters wide horse road, four horses two before and two after running is quite spacious, at this time there are no people, let alone horseback riding, even next to the village road on the car is not a few, at this time Wenjia Village has just 'woken up', tourists have not come out of the activity yet.
Out of the village, the horse road is naturally gone, about along the side of the road early ran about a mile, next to the river fork appeared on the old stone bridge, said that the old stone bridge is actually a few stone slabs on a few stones, that is, more than one meter wide, the new rider may not dare to urge the horse to go up, Wen Xu a few people are naturally fine, urging the horse fish through.
To the other side, although the terrain is undulating greatly, but the four of them have urged the horse to gallop, because this place looks flat but I don't know where a rabbit hole will come out, if the horse's hooves step in, then there will be a play, maybe a foot can reimburse a horse, so the four people urged the horse to trot all the way to Wang Zhe gave the address.
Far away, Brother Wen Xu saw Wang Zhe's house. In fact, if you don't want to find it, you can't do it, Wang Zhe's house is not in the village but on the slope of the hill, to be exact, it is the top of a hill, the whole hill is a house, and it is a milky white wall, a cyan roof, and it is so much to jump between the green trees.
When he arrived at the top of the hill, Wen Shigui looked at the house in front of him and couldn't help but smile and turned his head to the Wen Xu next to him and said, "This house smells!"
Wang Zhe's house is not antique, it is completely modern style, or a 'bungalow', that is, there is only one floor, although there is only one floor, but from the place where Brother Wen Xu stands, it should be not small.
Wen Shida said: "That's for sure, if you don't have two dollars in hand, can you buy a land and build a house in this place? Not to mention that other ordinary people estimate that it is enough to get water and electricity, not to mention the solar panel power generation device erected next to it."
"Let's go, it's all here, stop what, go early, see it early!" After speaking, Wen Shiqing urged the horse to take the lead and trotted towards the house.
The rest of the brothers laughed and urged the horses to follow.
To the side of the house, the brothers were surprised by Wang Zhe's exquisite courtyard, the door of the house is a circle of fences, the fence climbs on the yam eggs, there is a wooden corridor in the middle, there is a white swimming pool in the courtyard, a few white parasols, not to mention the building, the simple version of the Jiangnan style building, there is a Chinese shadow but more modern simplicity, in addition to a few white walls, from the front line of sight can directly through the whole building to the woods behind the house.
"Wow, Wow, Wow!"
As soon as a few people stood still, a loud barking of dogs immediately came from the courtyard.
