13 Buy a farmstead
Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiao Qi's wedding room has not changed, it is still the big house they originally lived in, which is convenient for the owner to handle affairs. The brothers redecorated the new room, covered the walls with colored paper, moved bookshelves to the middle of the room, and divided the bedroom into two rooms. In the bedroom, new quilts and pillows are placed on the tatami mats, and a purple-red veil is hung on the veil, and the word "happiness" is pasted on the veil. The house outside was carpeted, with small tables and chairs. There were table flags of red satin on the table, red satin cushions on chairs, paintings on the walls, and happy words on the doors. Everything is so beautiful. Xiao Qiduan sat under the purple and red veil, and after changing into a wedding dress, her eyes and eyebrows were picturesque and moving.
That night nephrite was warm and fragrant,
That night lingered in sorrow,
The spring breeze was a few degrees that night,
That night was like a fish.
That night, Zhuang Xiaochu changed from a boy to a man, and Xiao Qi changed from his younger brother to his owner's wife.
After the wedding, the owner and his wife were invited to live in Meishan, Zhuang Xiaochu thought that if it was in modern times, it would be time to go out for a honeymoon after marriage, so he agreed, and arranged for the beggars to take care of things. took Xiao Qi and half a catty and eight taels together to start the trip to Meishan. The beggars were not at ease, so they had to bring a few young men from the martial arts team, but they couldn't help it, so they took the little four and five to set off.
Meishan is a good place, there is a high mountain, next to the mountain is a Meihe River, the rest of the place, are flat terrain, fertile land, rich water sources, fish and rice country. There are a lot of farms here, and half a catty and eight are the largest households in the radius. His family's farmland is seen from one end to the other, and there is no end in sight. The grain that their family receives every year is exported to other provinces. When the grain is ripe, there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carts and boats that come to pull the grain.
The Wu family and his wife don't care about their home now, they give all their home to their two children, and they only care about their grandchildren and enjoy their old age in peace. Half a catty and half a tael as a red and white beggar leader in Huazizhuang, he has some ability. The farm is also well managed. The old bandit is still in their house, living with the old couple, and the whole family is also very kind to him.
The Wu family and his wife knew that the owner and his wife were coming, so they arranged for someone to clean the room in advance. For the newlyweds, a separate house in the farm was arranged. Meals are arranged by Sister Cuilian every day.
When the Cuilian sisters saw Xiao Qi, they couldn't be affectionate. Quietly pulled Xiao Qi aside: "Okay Xiao Qi, you have lied to us for so long, and you are actually the same as us!" and asked her again: "You tell me honestly, was it not intentional for the owner to peek at you taking a bath that day? Why don't we believe it so much?" Xiao Qi smiled and said nothing.
In fact, she took the account book back to the house that day, and she deliberately left a crack in the window, who else in the owner's house dared to climb the window to come in?
The Wu family and his wife said to the owner and his wife: "The owner of the village, don't see outside, treat this place as your home." You can stay as long as you want. "Every day, I accompany the owner and his wife to climb the mountain, row boats, and go down to the river to fish. Have a lot of fun. Sometimes I don't do anything, I quietly watch the farmers work in the fields.
It is the season when rape flowers bloom. With yellow and clear rape flowers, Xiao Qi sat in the rape field, the flowers were beautiful, just like in the painting, Zhuang Xiaochu would think how good it would be if there was a camera at this time, to record this most beautiful time. Zhuang Xiaochu asked Xiao Qi: "Are you really willing to marry me?" or is it because I peeked at you." ”
"What do you say?" Xiao Qi didn't say, Zhuang Xiaochu rubbed the rape flower on Xiao Qi's neck, Xiao Qi was afraid of itching, and told the truth, "Since the day I carried you back, I have identified you." "Brother, I've always liked you. We are together and we are destined by God. Xiao Qi added.
At that moment, the scenes of that person being together emerged one by one
Xiao Qi fed Zhuang Xiaochu water with a broken bowl;
Xiao Qi and Zhuang Xiaochu snuggled up to sleep;
Xiao Qi soaked the steamed bun with water and softened it, and fed Zhuang Xiaochu one bite at a time;
Xiao Qi gave Zhuang Xiaochu the best chicken leg in the world;
......
Scene by scene, vivid. Maybe in the long river of years, the two of them have long since you integrated into me, and I have integrated into you, and they have long been unable to distinguish who is who.
Zhuang Xiaochu wanted to buy a field and a manor in Meishan, but he didn't understand, and asked: "Why does the owner want to buy a field and buy a manor, just come and live at any time if you want to live, you can live as long as you want, I will always keep the small building you live in." ”
Zhuang Xiaochu said: "I have received your wishes, and I bought the land and the manor for long-term consideration. On the one hand, the crops harvested in the field every year can be eaten by the brothers in the farm, and there is no need to buy grain outside, on the other hand, after buying a manor, in case something happens in the future, our brothers in Huazizhuang have a place to go. Now that there is money in the village, it can be regarded as an investment. It's just that you may have to work hard in the future, and you have to help take care of it. ”
Half a catty and eight taels said: "The matter of Huazizhuang is our own business, and the owner of the village can rest assured." ”
Half a catty and eight taels to contact the owner of the nearby farm, really found one, there is a Wang family farm five thousand miles away from the Wu family manor, the manor is not small, large and small is also more than 20 houses, dozens of fertile fields, there are rape, some paddy fields grow rice, and there is a small vineyard, Zhuang Xiaochu said: "You can make your own wine to drink in the future." ”
The only son of the Wang family took up a position in another provincial town, so he did not come back, and he had to take his parents to live in the provincial capital. The price was quickly negotiated, and it was a large amount of money, which was enough for the Wang family to buy several courtyards in the provincial capital. Zhuang Xiaochu sent someone to Huazizhuang to get the silver taels, and the two sides handed it over.
Meishan is mainly agricultural, and has formed an industrial chain. Every year when sowing and harvesting, a large number of farmers flock to Meishan to work for a period of time to earn a sum of silver, and then wait until the next busy farming season, just like migratory birds.
After the harvest every year, there are also a large number of businessmen who come to buy, and the crops will be sold out without leaving home, and even many old customers will pay a deposit in advance to book the next crop. There are only about ten agricultural workers in the village, who are responsible for sprinkling water and fertilizing at ordinary times. The original peasant workers of the Wang family stayed behind and continued to work on the grange. Half a catty and eight taels is sometimes to take a look, add some means of production, etc., arrange for agricultural workers to harvest and put into storage during the busy season, and then send the harvested rice, peanuts, and sesame to Huazizhuang.
Zhuang Xiaochu originally wanted to send a few brothers over, on the one hand, he said that they were busy, on the other hand, Zhuang Xiaochu didn't want the brothers of Huazizhuang to know about the existence of this farm, and so far, except for these few people in the same company, no one knows about the farm.
Zhuang Xiaochu and Xiaoqi went to live in the farm for more than ten days, and after entrusting the farm to half a catty and eight taels, they returned to Huazizhuang. The brothers of Huazizhuang sent people to send messages every day, saying that they were very worried that the village was missing the owner and Xiaoqi, as if they were missing the backbone. Even the old gentleman said that he was bored, and no one talked to him about the past and the present to play chess with him.
