Yuan Qing washed his clothes in the small courtyard, then picked up his clothes and went to the stream not far away to wash his clothes. They are still playing chess, the old man's chess skills, after practicing for so long, it is naturally very good, but Li Chen's is not bad, they have played for so long, the first game of chess has not ended.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at chess, kid." The old man couldn't help but praise.

"Yours isn't bad either." Li Chen said lightly, in this game, they are a tie......

"Boy, who the hell are you sacred?" The old man smiled lightly and said the question that pressed on his heart, it seemed that he was joking, but it was not like it.

"Is this important?" Li Chen was still indifferent.

"Hehe, old man, I like your calm temperament." The old man smiled, in his life, he had seen more people in this ancient country where transportation was inconvenient and information was not developed, but he had never seen a young man so indifferent, as if nothing in this world was in front of him. Li Chen was the first.

"Do you want another round?" Li Chen said.

"When you meet an opponent in chess, you must have a good time." The old man laughed.

They started playing a second game of chess.

"Boy, it should be difficult for you to please a lady, hey, I'm not saying that no one wants to marry you, but that you won't fall in love with someone." The old man played chess and chatted with him. "I just want to say, what do you like about Yuan Qing?" Yuan Qing is a woman, yes, she is handsome, but there are many women who are better looking than her, and the most important thing is that Yuan Qing refuses to help him wash his clothes......

I really can't figure out what this kid likes about that girl.

Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous woman, marrying a lady and coming back is marrying her back to help him with housework, and Yuan Qing doesn't seem to be that kind of "good wife"......

"Nothing." He thought for a moment and said.

"Nothing? Then you still marry her? The old man was shocked.

"Didn't you say I was a good match for her?" Li Chen said.

"That's just what I said, you kid isn't the kind of guy who will marry someone because someone else says a few words." The old man said that this kid would listen to the objections raised by others. That's a great blessing for that person.

"It's good to be with her." He said lightly, his tone not fluctuating.

"Oh, so you're so lazy, it's better to be with her. Just marry someone else. The old man chuckled lightly, "But seriously, this husband and wife live together to live, and marrying someone who can live a good life with themselves will make life easier." ”

"That's right. Checkmate. Li Chen said lightly. Hold a chess piece in your hand and attack the opposing general.

"You kid......" the old man's teeth twitched, "and he was not prepared." Careless. ”

Then in this second game of chess, the old man loses, and Li Chen wins.

At this time, Yuan Qing returned from washing and then dried his clothes.

At noon, the three of them had lunch together again. No matter how you look at them, they all look like a family, and they are very harmonious......

The coal mine is still carrying out normal mining work, and I am afraid that it will take more than a month for the coal to be officially sold. Before the coal mine was launched. After digging it out, at this time, there is no need to keep it too secretive, after all, this coal block is going to be sold, and no one else knows what this coal block is, what does it do, who will come back to buy the coal block?

This has to involve the issue of publicity, when he was in Qiuzhou before, Yuan Qing ran an orange weekly, and there was something to let everyone know. Written in newspapers, sold, and read by people and spread by word of mouth, the news can spread quickly. But there are no newspapers here......

In fact, Yuan Qing came here to ask someone to dig coal. She never mentions to others what coal is for and what the role of coal is, first, there is no mature mechanism in this era, and second. If it were known that the coal could be used for fire, there was no guarantee that no one would steal the coal to make the fire......

Without strong strength, mining coal can only be hidden. Yuan Qing was also helpless. However, if you slowly find a way to solve these things, you won't be forced into a corner. So take your time.

You can't become fat by eating in one bite, and people have to evolve for thousands of years before they can have some changes in thinking. If Yuan Qing insisted on using a modern way of thinking to tell this group of ancient people what rules, she was afraid that it would be difficult for her to be pleased.

Haste makes waste.

At dusk, the three of them were having dinner.

"Tomorrow, old man, I'm going to the mountain to see the peach blossoms, will you go?" The old man said.

"Okay." Yuan Qing nodded heavily as he spoke.

Li Chen just nodded lightly.

"Then it's decided, there are more people, and I will pick more petals to come back, old man, I will make peach blossom wine at this time of year. The fragrance is still there......" said the old man.

"That'...... Well, if you pick the petals, you will pick the petals. "Yuan Qingdao, I originally thought I was just going to play, but who knew that there was still a task.

"Little girl, will you come again this time next year?" After all, the old man said, they came here as merchants to mine coal.

"This, I don't know." Yuan Qing said, if there is no coal mine here, or if it is on the right path, Yuan Qing has no reason to continue to stay here.

"Hehe, if you are still here next year, this peach blossom wine will be buried for a year, and it will taste even better." The old man smiled, but there was a hint of sourness in his heart.

Yes, this time we got together, and after we parted, I don't know when and where we met.

"Well, if I'm free at this time next year, I'll definitely come." Yuan Qingdao, she can only say this and can't guarantee it, she is a businessman, and businessmen have to run all over the world, who knows where she will go next year?

"Well, if you can come, the little couple must come together, so you should accompany my old man." The old man said, "It would be great if you brought a big fat boy or a girl over at that time." He laughed to himself.

Hearing this, Yuan Qing lowered his head, why didn't he open which pot to mention. This kid asked me to go up and find it?

A meal, eaten slowly.

The next day, all three of them got up, and then had breakfast, and the three of them met to go up the mountain to enjoy the peach blossoms, and by the way, they went to pick some peach petals.

The sun is rising, and the sun is slightly drunk. At this time, the peach blossoms on the mountain have bloomed, the peach trees on the mountain, the flowers are pink and tender like the sun, the thick trunk, the green branches and leaves, the peach blossoms that are blushing like a girl. The flowers are full of flowers, and they are beautiful, which makes people yearn for it.

This peach blossom forest is very large, and almost half of the mountainside on this one is full of peach trees. The three of them walked slowly under the peach tree, and the pink petals fluttered like raindrops, which was so beautiful that it was not like the world.

The world is full of fragrant flowers in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are in full bloom.

And the peach blossoms here only bloom in March and a half.

Without too many words, they walked slowly in this pink peach forest, intoxicated by this beautiful scene.

No wonder the old man went to Qiuzhou City, and he had to come to Bilian Village once a year in March and a half.

"Both, I'll take you to meet someone." The old man said.

They had no objection and followed the old man deeper into the peach forest. The peach trees gradually thinned, as if the willows and flowers were bright and the feeling of another village, the peach blossom rain gradually decreased, and the eyes were clear.

"I won't hide it from you, after my wife died, I will bury her in this peach forest, she said, she will watch this flower bloom and fall, and the peach blossoms change." The old man said sadly to a grave sprinkled with petals under the sparse peach tree.

People always envy the flowers and trees, envy them for not having troubles, always stand quietly in the ground, spring to autumn, flowers bloom and fall, calmly.

"Autumn, the peach blossoms are blooming again, have you seen it? I'm a year older, and I may not be able to come with you in a few years......" said the old man, his old eyes glistening with tears.

People grow old, but tears are always crystal and never change.

"You go pick peach blossoms, I'll accompany her here." The old man turned his head to look at the young man and woman, and his tone was a little cold.

"Okay." Yuan Qing nodded, she didn't feel any feelings about this sensational scene, but there was only a little. At that moment, she stretched out her hand and pulled the corner of Li Chen's clothes beside her, and said softly, "Let's go." ”

In the peach blossom forest, they walk slowly, the man is peerless, the woman is delicate and lotus, the fluttering flower rain falls gently, flying in the air, reluctant to land, it is precisely because of their reluctance that this peach blossom forest is extremely beautiful.

You don't need to pick too many petals, after all, peach trees also need petals.

"That bouquet of peach blossoms is so beautiful." Yuan Qing looked at the peach blossom on the high branch like a sculpture, and couldn't help but admire.

"Do you want it?" The man next to him asked lightly.

"Of course I don't want to, wouldn't it be nice to let it bloom well on the tree, why bother

Is it off? Yuan Qingdao said. She has never had the mentality that she must want it when she sees a good thing.

"Petals on my head." Li Chen saw a few pink petals falling on her inky hair, and said lightly, without waiting for her to reach out to shoot herself, he reached out and poked her head.

They stood not far away, about half an arm's length apart, and his hand touched her head like this, seemingly natural, but naturally with a bit of forgetfulness. Maybe that's what makes it so sweet.

The hand touched her hair, and she was surrounded by a very cool but very comfortable aura for no reason, and for such a moment, the thought flashed through her mind, if time stopped forever in this moment, well, it would be good.

But for a moment, Yuan Qing set a wake-up call for himself, what did he think? can't sink, surnamed Yuan......

"Thank you." Yuan Qing said in a daze. He helped her remove the petals, and naturally wanted to say thank you.

"Don't say those two words to me in the future." The man's voice was a little cold.

"Oh, thank you then." Yuan Qing changed his words again.

"You don't have to say thank you to me in the future." He reaffirmed.

"Okay." Yuan Qing nodded. Since you don't want me to say thank you to you, I just don't want to say it.

"You look like you're perfunctory." Li Chen looked at her disappreciatively, and was annoyed for no reason. To be continued
