Chapter Seventy-Two: Enclosure (I)
"Mom, Dad, how do you feel?"
Looking at his parents who had washed off the dirt on their bodies and changed their clothes, Meng Ke asked with a smile.
"Well, my body seems to be a lot easier, I used to have back pain, but now I don't feel it at all." Li Cuilian twisted her waist and said in surprise.
"I don't feel much, but my strength seems to be a little bigger." Meng Jianguo waved his lower arms, his originally slightly chubby body has now become a little stronger.
Seeing this, Meng Ke immediately said proudly: "Hehe, how about it, I didn't lie to you." ”
"Well, it's just a pity." Meng Jianguo nodded, then sighed and said, "If you had taken out this potion a few years earlier, maybe your grandmother wouldn't have ......."
Before Meng Jianguo could finish speaking, he paused, but the atmosphere in the courtyard was also silent with these half sentences.
After a long time, Meng Ke's grandfather shook his head and said, "Alas, what are you talking about?" At that time, even if Xiao Ke had this kind of potion, how much effect could it have? Brat...... Don't listen to your dad. ”
Meng Ke nodded and said, "Dad, don't worry, our family will definitely be healthy in the future." ”
"Hehe, yes." Li Cuilian also nodded with a smile, then gently pinched Meng Jianguo's waist and said, "Son, you stay at your grandfather's house first, I'll go home with your dad to pack up my things, let's go to you in the afternoon, and let Xuanxuan ask for a leave." ”
"Mom, what are you packing? I have everything, so don't take the things at home. Meng Ke hurriedly said.
"Don't take it! I know you have everything there, just some stuff and something to pack up. With that, Li Cuilian raised her feet and walked out.
Meng Ke was helpless, so he could only say: "Then you guys, I'll talk to grandpa for a while." ”
Seeing his parents walk out of the door, Meng Ke scratched his head and looked at his grandfather with a smile.
"What for?" Meng Ke's grandfather immediately trembled at Meng Ke's gaze, and at a glance, he knew that this kid didn't have any good ideas, and the old man immediately became vigilant.
"Hehe, grandpa, I remember that our family has a lot of land, right?" Meng Ke rubbed his hands and asked.
"There are dozens of acres...... Okay, stinky boy, so you have a crush on the old man's land! No wonder you want to give me that potion! Meng Ke's grandfather was talking, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately reached out and grabbed Meng Ke's ear.
Meng Ke immediately exclaimed in pain: "Ah! Grandpa, it hurts, you let go quickly, I really didn't mean that...... Hiss! ”
Seeing Meng Ke's grinning appearance, Grandpa snorted coldly and said, "Don't pretend to be with me, I didn't work hard at all." ”
"Uh...... Hey. Meng Ke was stunned for a moment, and the exaggerated expression of pain on his face disappeared instantly: "Am I not trying to cooperate with you?" ”
"Then you can try again?" Saying that, Meng Ke's grandfather was going to exert himself.
Meng Ke hurriedly jumped back and said, "Don't! The gentleman doesn't move his hands! My bottle of potion is really for you, and it means nothing else! ”
"Hmph, I don't dare you mean anything else." Meng Ke's grandfather snorted, pulled over a chair and sat down, and asked, "Say, what do you want to do with those lands." ”
"Of course it's a thing......," Meng Ke muttered.
"Plant something?"
"A kind of fruit."
"Fruit?" Meng Ke's grandfather was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it the material you used to make that energy potion?" ”
"Well, no, it's something else, it's similar to an energy potion, but not as rebellious as an energy potion." Meng Ke scratched his head, thinking that the older a person gets, the better he becomes, his grandfather was not easy to deal with before, but he didn't expect that now after drinking the energy potion, he is even more refined, and he can even guess this.
"Oh......" Meng Ke's grandfather let out a long sigh, and then nodded: "Okay, you can take the land, it was originally left for your father." But I'm going to help you when you plant! ”
"Huh? Grandpa, such a tiring job, just let others do it, what are you still involved with......" Before Meng Ke's words fell, his grandfather's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted, "What? Do you look down on the old man or do you think I'm useless? I'm just going, you can do it yourself! ”
"......" Meng Ke glanced at his grandfather who was like a child losing his temper speechlessly, and said helplessly: "Okay, if you want to go, then go, by the way, I will arrange two more people for you." ”
"That's pretty much it." Meng Ke's grandfather nodded, stood up with satisfaction, and said, "Let's go." ”
"Where are you going?" Meng Ke asked suspiciously.
"Of course, I'm going to the field and I'll show you the way." Grandpa glared at Meng Ke angrily, and after speaking, he strode towards the outside of the courtyard.
Meng Ke shrugged his shoulders and hurriedly followed
The land of Meng Ke's grandfather's house is just at the foot of the mountain at the head of the village, with a mountain in the south and a stream in the east, with a total of 45 acres, of which 25 acres are orchards, and the remaining 20 acres are planted with grain, but after Meng Ke's grandmother died, these 45 acres of land were abandoned.
Standing on Tian Pan, Meng Ke looked at the large piece of land in front of him, and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, especially when he saw the mountain, he was even more excited.
Great place! Definitely a great place!
"Grandpa, all of this land belongs to our family?"
"Yes, the east side of the small river belongs to your uncle's family, and the other end of the locust tree on the west side is your Uncle Li's family, so there is nothing planted in our family's field, so it is easy to recognize." Meng Ke's grandfather pointed to the two pieces of land on both sides and spoke.
"Oh, what about this mountain? Is it still in the hands of our village committee? Meng Ke said, pointing to the mountain on the ground.
"I don't know about this, your third master is the village chief, I'll take you to his house to ask later."
Meng Ke nodded, knowing who Grandpa was talking about.
Because in the village of his hometown, the 100 villagers living in it are basically surnamed Meng, and only a few women who have married outside are not surnamed Meng, so this also causes the people in the entire village to basically have some relatives with each other.
For example, Meng Ke's grandfather, he has a total of eight brothers and three sisters, is the largest faction in the village, Meng Ke's three grandfathers are the sons of one of Meng Ke's grandfather's brothers, and the two families are also very close in normal times.
Thinking of this, Meng Ke immediately squatted on the ground and pulled it up with his hands, not knowing what he was painting.
After a while, he looked at a strange pattern drawn on the ground, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "Grandpa, let's go, let's go to my third master's house." ”
"Now?" Grandpa glanced at Meng Ke puzzled, and said, "Then let's go, there should be someone in his family on the sun." ”
As he spoke, the old and the young walked back to the village.
