Chapter Seventy-Seven: Words from the Heart
Watching Li Tiedon drive Li Liwen away, Li Chen slowly walked back to the mountain field.
He could see that Li Tiedonkey was still making his last efforts, although it was a crooked way, but after all, it was a means. The three mountain farms in Beishan, except for the middle one, which he owned, the other two were all taken away by him, and if it was a probability, he was also bigger than himself.
But sometimes things are difficult to say, in fact, from the heart, Li Chen hopes that Li Tiedon will win the lottery, after all, he is not very willing to this mountain field, but when he thinks that Li Tiedonkey, a person who is scheming and does not do good things, can get such a big bargain, his heart is inexplicably blocked.
In this way, when he walked into the gate of the mountain field in a tangled mood, he didn't even notice Yuan Xinyi, who was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Hey, boy!"
The old man Yuan on the side can't get used to it, this kid is usually more attentive to his granddaughter than to himself, what's wrong now?
"Huh?"
Li Chen looked up in surprise, just in time to see Yuan Xin looking at him with a concerned face, "You... You're here?! ”
"What's so depressing?"
Old man Yuan asked with a smile, it is rare to see this young man so distracted.
"It's okay, it's nothing!"
Li Chen scratched his head and smiled, and then hurriedly let the two in. Yuan Xinyi had already been here once or twice during the time that the old man had lived, and Li Chen was very happy with her arrival, and even put aside the entanglements in his heart for the time being.
At noon, Geng Lan specially added toon fish, cucumber fried fungus, and cold cowpea carobs, which are all Yuan Xinyi's favorite food, Li Chen remembers it really, seeing Old Man Yuan's playful eyes, Li Chen simply pretended not to see, and was busy giving Yuan Xin a dish, but Yuan Xinyi blushed shyly, but his heart was happy.
After eating, making a pot of tea, Li Chen accompanied Old Man Yuan and Yuan Xinyi to sit somewhere in the mountain field, Li Chen specially opened a piece of open space to chat, the warm sun shrouded, the mountain breeze blew gently, quite comfortable.
Looking at those vigorous pear saplings and jujube saplings, Yuan Xinyi had indescribable joy and admiration in her beautiful eyes, and kept asking Li Chen this and that.
Li Chen naturally had to answer all questions, but when he thought of the land occupied by the mountain farm, he couldn't help but feel a little blocked in his heart.
Seeing that Li Chen was a little distracted, the old man had long wanted to ask Li Chen: "Hey, I see that your kid has never had anything to worry about, what's wrong now?" ”
Li Chen still wanted to say that it was okay to prevaricate, but found that Yuan Xinyi was actually inquiring, knowing that it would be boring if he didn't say anything else, he looked at the mountain field, and suddenly sighed, "Old man, maybe you won't be able to live here for too long!" ”
"Huh?!"
The old man's face was grim.
Yuan Xinyi was also stunned, and subconsciously glanced at his grandfather.
"Li Chen, what do you mean by this?"
changed the title to the name, which shows that the old man is a little angry.
Li Chen smiled apologetically: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that the kid doesn't want you to live, the kid can't wait for you to stay here for a long time!" ”
Speaking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Yuan Xinyi on the side, Yuan Xinyi didn't understand at first, but immediately understood something, his face suddenly turned red, he lowered his head slightly, and said in his heart How can this guy speak more and more boldly.
When the old man heard that it wasn't Li Chen who didn't want to let him live, his face softened. To be honest, he doesn't want to leave now, he knows very well that if he can eat Li Chen's vegetables for a long time and breathe the fresh breath of this countryside, it may be possible for him to live to be 100 years old. There is no shortage of fame and fortune in this life, what is lacking is health, since the last time he almost entered the ghost gate, the old man seems to have seen everything through.
Originally, he planned to find a way to help Li Chen get some funds or resources after a while, to help him make the scale of the mountain farm larger, and he himself planned to inject some funds as a shareholder, why did he make such a fuss now?
"You explain it to me!"
The old man kept a straight face, waiting for Li Chen's answer.
Li Chen was actually blocked in his heart, and he was also trying to find someone to talk to, although Old Man Yuan was an outsider, but it happened that the bystanders were clear, and it was not a bad thing to listen to his opinion at this time.
So, Li Chen said that Beishan was going to build a sanatorium for old cadres.
The old man listened and suddenly laughed: "Good thing! I heard that this country occupies an area, and there is a very good compensation for individuals, if I choose you, let me see, your tree, greenhouse or something added together, you should be able to ask for a good price, you should be happy, right? You look like you're pretty sad. ”
"Oh, old man, I'll tell you the truth, I really don't want to."
Li Chen simply told the truth.
"Oh? How? ”
The old man also came to be interested. Yuan Xinyi is also staring with beautiful eyes.
Li Chen looked at the mountain field: "Actually, the reason is very simple, I have spent so much effort, if I give up halfway, it will be the same as if I slept soundly, but I was suddenly woken up, I feel uncomfortable!" ”
"Uncomfortable?"
The old man laughed, and Yuan Xinyi was also amused by Li Chen's witty words. "This is a good thing that many people can't hope for, why do you have to sell it cheaply?"
"It's not that I have to sell cheaply, I'll tell you the truth, I've really put in the effort of this mountain field, maybe you can also see that this greenhouse or something is just a transition, my real highlight in the future is all on this fruit tree, yes, if I am chosen, I can get some compensation, it is likely that this compensation is a lot, enough for me to spend a few decades. But to tell you the truth, I'm not uncommon with that kind of money, really. You may think that what I said is false, but I can tell you very responsibly, what I said is really from the heart, rather than falling pie from the sky like this, I am even rarer to earn it with my hands, one point at a time, so much effort! ”
Li Chen's long-aggrieved words seemed to be open: "Also, our village is poor, almost all the young and middle-aged people have gone out to work, leaving only the elderly parents and young children at home and no one to take care of them, what a helpless thing!" And if I can gradually expand this mountain farm, I can invite more villagers to help, and maybe I can leave a few more people, so that they don't have to go out to make a living, and have more time to spend with their parents and take care of them, so that they will not end up with a lot of regrets. ”
Speaking of this, Li Chen thought of his father, and his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little.
Old man Yuan was also infected by Li Chen's words, and nodded again and again. Yuan Xinyi's beautiful eyes were full of admiration and appreciation when she looked at Li Chen.
The atmosphere was a little dreary. After a while, Old Man Yuan suddenly said: "Li Chen, I can understand your feelings, but I don't think this matter should conflict with your thoughts." You see, even if you choose you, you get the money, and then go somewhere else to contract a mountain farm, and continue your ideals. ”
