34. Contracted orchards

In winter, the river water has frozen, so Bai Xinyi doesn't need to go out to wash clothes, just rub the clothes with hot water at home, take them to the well, press the water and rinse them directly.

However, when it is cold in winter, the water press will also have a bit of a problem, that is, the upper layer will freeze, and when you want to get water, you have to boil some hot water and pour it on it, and wait for the ice to melt before you can press the water.

Seeing her aunt busy outside, Yuxi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it's not easy for her to be a beautiful aunt, if she has a child or a man who loves her, this day may not be like this.

The little hand holds the peanut and peels out the kernel little by little, she can't do anything else, so let's start from the subtleties.

When Bai Xinyi came back from drying her clothes, Yuxi stuffed her wrapped peanut kernels into her mouth.

"Auntie, hurry up and warm up on the kang, it's cold outside."

Bai Xinyi hugged her little niece after covering her hands, this child is intimate and distressing, although the family is a little prejudiced, but this child's performance really makes people feel speechless.

In the evening, Bai Xinyi told her younger brother about the orchard to be contracted, Bai Wenli's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly froze, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Sister, I'll go out tomorrow to inquire, Geng Mei, you also go to the instructor's house to sit down, didn't you bring a gift to your sister-in-law this time, and send it over tomorrow." ”

Bai Xinyi couldn't figure out what her brother was thinking, "Wenli, is it possible that you will still dig for gold next year?" I think you'd better forget it, you lost half your life this time, and I don't know what will happen next time. ”

Bai Wenli smiled, "Sister, I've thought about it, we won't dig this gold, you don't know what to do, I heard others say that they will strictly control the theft of gold next year, why should I take this risk."

Alas, to put it bluntly, digging for gold is also a fight for life, and the local situation is complicated, and I don't want to wade into this troubled water again. As for contracting the orchard, it is not as easy as you think, how much the orchard can produce every year must be clear to everyone, it is estimated that there should be many people staring at this piece of fat, and I will go out tomorrow to see it, try to fight, so that the family can also eat some fruit. ”

Bai Xinyi listened to her brother's words and remembered what was going on, the orchard will be given the best technical guidance, and the fruits in winter are basically underwritten, according to the previous practice, the apples on their side are mainly used for export due to their good taste. So the current orchard is nothing more than a piece of fat that everyone wants to take a bite of.

Thinking of this, she didn't have much hope for the contracting thing in her heart, but seeing her brother's calm expression, how could Bai Xinyi feel that her brother seemed to be determined to succeed in this matter?

Bai Wenli and his wife took the gifts they bought back the next day and walked around, especially Bai Wenli didn't come back until after dinner, but he drank a little too much.

Geng Mei was a little dissatisfied with her husband's approach, and couldn't help muttering, "You are really a person, you still have a wound on your arm, why don't you know how to pay attention, didn't the doctor say that you won't be allowed to drink." ”

Bai Wenli seemed a little impatient with his wife's nagging, but when he saw the eldest sister on the side, he didn't have a seizure, "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

It is estimated that he has not been idle for a day, and Bai Wenli fell asleep after washing his feet, giving people the feeling of being very tired.

"Brother and sister, my brother has done it or not, why hasn't he said a word?"

Geng Mei smiled bitterly, "Eldest sister, you don't know what kind of character your brother is, if he doesn't want to say that we can't ask, I guess there is no eyebrow on this matter, and so many people are scrambling for it, how can it be so easy." Forget it, let's go to bed quickly, if it happens, we will know the Tao in the future. ”

Bai Wenli's temper is the two women in the family are the most clear, and they usually don't say anything that doesn't work out, but in the next few days, he doesn't go home much, and he is always outside either chatting with friends or drinking, Geng Mei and Bai Xinyi really didn't understand what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Bai Wenli is not in a hurry about this during this time, but if he wants to do it, he must also get rid of it from the root, not everyone can ask for it, once he asks for the wrong person, he will make himself more passive.

This time he had already thought about it, and it was imperative to contract the orchard, so on the surface, he was going to catch up with his old friends and drink, but in fact, he said hello to each other, and he still had the money, after all, he had been out of the country for two years, and he had saved some of it, but this amount was also known to the couple, and there was no need for others to say this.

At the end of the year, Bai Wenli had dinner before saying to his wife and eldest sister: "Everything is done, I have signed the contract yesterday, and the ten-acre orchard contracted by our family is estimated to not be so easy next year." ”

Bai Wenli easily announced the good news they longed for, and Bai Xinyi and Geng Mei were both happy and surprised.

"Wenli, are you done? Why didn't I see you busy with this? ”

Bai Wenli smiled and said to his wife, "You guys, just worry about it, can I not take this matter to heart, I naturally can't tell you before it is done, otherwise it won't be a bad thing to yell at me." ”

To say that the person who knows Geng Mei best is Bai Wenli's husband, what is the personality of his daughter-in-law, he can figure it out even if he closes his eyes after so many years.

Bai Xinyi is secretly happy, her brother and daughter-in-law are good everywhere, but this mouth lacks a door, and she doesn't say that she is telling right and wrong, but this person is not good at lying, not to mention that she will tell the truth about everything, her heart is too upright, and her brother sees this very thoroughly.

Looking at the eldest sister's sneaky fun, Geng Mei was a little embarrassed, "Sister, I'm really like what your brother said, isn't it a bit bad." ”

Bai Wenli's brothers and sisters were happy to see her like that, Yuxi was a little sympathetic to her mother on the side, to say that Geng Mei's personality is very good, but her father is really right.

"Mom, don't forget who told someone last time about where my dad was fishing."

Yuxi's reminder, Geng Mei was a little embarrassed, last time her husband found that there were a lot of fish in a pond, at the beginning Bai Wenli fished some back, originally wanted to wait for the water to dry some before going over, but he didn't expect his daughter-in-law to say that he had leaked his mouth, and when he wanted to catch it again, the fish had already been fished out by others.

This matter, the family remembers, Geng Mei is also a little embarrassed, "Didn't I inadvertently leak my mouth, others asked me, I can't make it up, I'll pay attention next time." ”
