Chapter 118: Misunderstood?
Yang Lianshan didn't see his brother-in-law all over the yard, so he hurriedly asked where he went.
Yang couldn't sit still as if a needle had been placed under his buttocks, and said strangely: "I'm not at home, someone came to pick up pickles and went to the eastern suburbs." β
Yang Lianshan's face was obviously a little disappointed.
"You're in trouble, I'll be back before dinner, so stay here for the night."
Yang Lianshan squeezed out a smile, "What can I do, I'll leave after a while, and say that I will return today before I come out." β
It's okay? Yang was a little skeptical, but then asked about the situation at home, knowing that everything was fine, so he was relieved. I only wondered in my heart, what was the matter with his little brother, instead of looking for himself, he had to discuss with his brother-in-law.
β¦β¦
At the end of February of the twelfth year of Zhengkang, the weather became warmer, and although the land did not thaw, it was fast.
Lao Zhong went to find Zhong Fugui and called a group of villagers, just waiting for the thaw, and hurriedly built a wall on the land in the eastern suburbs. The fruit saplings are ordered, and the orchard must be built.
At the beginning of March, as soon as the frost thawed, more than two dozen people immediately started work.
If you don't hurry, the farming will start, and it will be difficult to find someone if it's too late.
The old bell means to build a low wall first, and just block it, after all, it is still early to wait for the fruit seedlings to grow taller.
A low wall is nothing more than a mud wall mixed with wheat straw, so the speed of building the wall is not slow.
The first day was fine, and the next day someone came to the ground, although he was not happy, but he saw that the wall of Zhong's house was retracted into a zhang, and Lao Zhong also promised not to plant fruit trees in the wall, and also set up a note as evidence, and the other party gave up.
But something happened on the third day.
Lao Zhong was at home, and the villagers with the wall were running to find it.
"What? Guo Dian's second brother led someone to push our wall? Old Zhong Teng stood up and startled the Yang family and Zhong Xiaohe at home.
Lao Zhong immediately asked Liu Wu to prepare a car and hurry to the eastern suburbs, Yang and Zhong Xiaohe didn't feel at ease and wanted to go, but Lao Zhong didn't let him.
"Our men in their twenties are here, what are you women and children going with, stay at home."
"Dad, don't be impulsive."
"I know, I'm impulsive with him."
Lao Zhong took Liu Wu away, and the remaining few people in the family were also worried.
"I'm afraid that your father will fight with them, what if something happens?" The Yang family was so anxious that the six gods had no master, and they thought about it badly.
Zhong Xiaohe was also worried, but compared to the Yang family, she was better, so she had to comfort: "You don't know who my father is, he looks rough and cautious, he is measured." It's just a matter of profit, it's just a big deal. β
Yang shook his head, still worried: "You don't know, then Guo Er also wants that piece of land, but he didn't get it, I'm afraid it's going to be bad for a long time." β
Zhong Xiaohe frowned, if Guo Er didn't let go of his mouth in this matter, it would be really troublesome, but the other party had a backer, and it was not easy to fight.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the old bell returned, his brow furrowed into a big pimple, obviously the matter was not resolved.
"Now you can build walls on three sides, but you can't let it go next to the old Guo family. It's not okay to let it out, this Guo Erter is too deceitful. β
"Or, if it doesn't be built, the orchard will be changed elsewhere, and it hasn't been planted yet?" Yang retreated.
"That's the end of it, and there's really no way to do it. I'm afraid that this Guo Er has other thoughts, and he can always pick on our stubble. β
"Hey, it's not good to buy this land."
"Okay, I've bought everything, I can't give up in vain, let's see if I can find Guo Dianguan tomorrow morning."
"I'm afraid that Guo Dianguan and that Guo Er will wear a pair of pants."
"Even so, you have to understand what he needs to do."
"Dad, why don't we go to Captain Chen and General Wei to help?" Zhong Xiaohe hurriedly lifted the thick legs we wanted to pamper.
"No, our friendship with them has not reached that point, and we are not forced to a desperate situation, how can we use favors casually, even if we can use them, I am afraid that we will offend the old Guo family to death, can we stay in Liuxian in the future? There's no need, it's a big deal, don't want that piece of land. β
Zhong Xiaohe sighed, what his father said made sense.
Early the next morning, Lao Zhong went to block the official Guo with a gift, but fortunately he was at home. However, Lao Zhong was also very apprehensive in his heart, after all, he hindered people from going to the government.
thought it would be possible to have a closed door, but fortunately, Guo Dianguan really met him, and listened carefully to Lao Zhong's reply, which made Lao Zhong more and more unsteady.
"Well, I know about this, I'll ask Guo Er when I get back, and I have to listen to what he says, and I'll give you a reply in the afternoon when I get the result."
Lao Zhong left a sincere gift, thanking Dade for saying a bunch of flattery, which was true and false, and then came back in his heart.
Yang hurriedly asked, "How?" β
"I don't see what Guo Dian thinks. Hey, Guo Dian, I've heard a little about it. After speaking, he shook his head, "Not a good stubble." β
It would be naΓ―ve to think that the other party could do justice and impartiality.
This said, the Yang family was even more worried, and the family had no taste for lunch.
It's just unexpected that in the afternoon, Guo's family next door came to pass the word, saying that Guo Er agreed to let his family build a fence and plant fruit trees, and it was okay to sign a letter of consent, so let him go to Guo Er's house in the afternoon to find someone to sign.
It's really an eyeball, isn't it that the people of the county have misunderstood Guo Dian?
After the unexpected joy of the family, it is still a little unsteady.
When Lao Zhong really came back safely from Guo Er's house, and took back the consent form signed by himself and pressed his handprint, the family was like in a dream, and they couldn't figure it out anyway, Guo Dian, or the legendary Guo Dian?
At this time, the Guo family.
Mrs. Guo is complaining about the officials.
"In the afternoon, the second child came over to complain to me, and you are too, so good, why don't you make some decisions for the second child."
"When, now, where will the moths come out."
Mrs. Guo was puzzled, "Why is it different now?" β
"The new officer is going to take office, do you know who he is? What about reckless us? Isn't this a way to give people the initiative to hand over in advance? β
"No, what a big deal, in Liuxian, it's not a matter of your words......"
"It's a matter of, besides, the Zhong family seems to have something to do with the barracks, and it's not worth taking this risk in order to break the ground."
Mrs. Guo was surprised: "No, isn't it just a small businessman." β
Guo Dianguan glanced at Mrs. Guo, "The neighbor has been around for so long, so you should know more, don't have your eyes on the top of your brain all day long." β
Mrs. Guo: ......
It's so angry, it's clear that it's you who has eyes on the top of your brain, and we're just fighting at best.
β¦β¦
The Zhong family didn't know what Guo Dian's mind was, but they could continue to work.
By the fifth day of the third month, a whole circle of earthen walls had been built around the fifty acres of land.
The next step is to plant the seedlings.
Of the four people left behind in the eastern suburbs, one of them was a middle-aged man surnamed Xie, who had some experience in planting flowers and plants. Lao Zhong wanted to rush to Huaixian County to get fruit saplings this time, so he simply took him with him, so as to consequence the garden, I am afraid that he will have to hand it over to him to serve.
Lao Zhong was busy with the orchard, and Zhong Xiaohe's shop had basically completed the decoration, but some of the wooden cabinets had a heavy paint smell and had to be put away.
When you have enough smells, you have to officially open.
And the characteristic of her store is to emphasize one word - fine.
The first fine: the goods should be selected. For example, white sugar, that must be the whitest section, a little yellow, that is absolutely not good. The purchase is strictly controlled, which can be called the ancient version of the strict selection.
The second essence: the placement should be exquisite. Where glass can be used, try to use glass and make it transparent, which is to strive for cleanliness and tidiness.
In fact, it is necessary to create a more beautifully packaged grocery store.
