Chapter 194: A New Livelihood

Li Xin thought about it in her heart, and she felt very beautiful, and she naturally smiled on her face. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ First @ Hair"

Yang'er pinched Li Xin's face and said, "Mother, happy? ”

"Well, happy!"

Li Xin was in a very good mood, and she kissed Yang'er's pink and tender face with a "chirp", the voice was very loud, and Yang'er immediately covered her face and screamed excitedly.

Ah Mei said with a smile on the side: "It seems that Yang'er also wants to come out to play, and he is not very happy when he stays at home every day." ”

Li Xin let Yang'er go to the ground, let him walk slowly, put his clothes together and said, "You still keep talking about Yang'er, don't you stay in the house and sit in the embroidery building yourself?" In winter, you won't get a tan, so go out for a walk in good weather, stay in the house, and beware of mold. ”

Ah Mei laughed, answered "yes" and said playfully: "Listen to my sister-in-law." ”

Ah Mei's smiling face in the sun is particularly bright, she is already a fifteen-year-old girl, it is the age of youth and freshness, like a fresh peach to be grabbed, no matter how you look at it, it is a pink and tender huā.

Ah Mei was a little embarrassed by Li Xin's scrutiny, covered her face and asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?" There was a coquettishness in his voice.

Li Xin laughed twice and said, "It's nothing, let's go to that place and take a look." ”

The river beach was quite far away from Li Xin's new house, after all, it took half an hour to walk around the mountain. In front of them was a shallow beach with sparse weeds, and the water quality was not bad.

Ah Mei wiped the sweat from her forehead, pointed to the corner of the corner in front of her and said, "It should be here, I also came here when I was a child before, and I almost never came here since." ”

Li Xin nodded, hugged Yang'er and turned around.

As far as the eye can see, there is a watery river beach in front of you, and indeed as Guan Wu said, the rest is silt, and at the end is a stone wall.

The river beach is wide. At the rough surface, it is the size of a football field, and it would take a while to walk around it.

The middle of the river beach glows white in the sun, and it should be some standing water. Towards the periphery, it was gradually drying out, and weeds grew around. There are many trees growing near the stone wall, and if this river beach is full of water, it will be like a natural lake, although this lake is relatively small, but it is enough for Li Xin.

Li Xin squinted his eyes, and saw that the middle of the river beach was concave, and it was full of silt. I'm afraid there's some foundation down there. The height of the depression is estimated to be more than one person's height, and if it is full of water, the silt will settle down, because the river beach is large enough to be muddy if it is stirred.

If you can really store water, you can make a fish pond with a little care......

Li Xin grinned, beckoned to Ah Mei and said, "Come and take a look, is this where we look out through the cave?" ”

Ah Mei took a closer look. His eyes wandered over the stone wall, and then he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place that was quite excited: "It's here, it's here!" Sister-in-law, look, there's that crack in the stone. There's still water flowing out of there, isn't it from the little river in the cave! ”

Li Xin smiled, put down Yang'er and let him stand here, said hello to Ah Mei, and walked around the river beach to get close to the edge of the stone wall.

Coincidentally, the crack in the stone was on the edge of the river stall, and if you could get out of the stone wall, you could take a big step to the shore. If the road in the cave is opened, won't it save a lot of time to come to this river beach?

Li Xin buried herself again and sniffed the smell of the silt, and carefully looked at the color and composition of the silt. "Ya-Wen * Yan + Love $ Shou @ Fa" found that there are still some aquatic animals moving around, no matter what it is, it is finally organic matter, and the content should be quite rich.

As for the reason for the silt beach, probably due to the lack of water?

Since there have been lotus huā blooms here before, there has been no other pollution. It shouldn't be difficult to develop it again.

Li Xin looked at the top of the mountain again, this mountain belongs to the Guan family, the old house of the Guan family and the new house of the Guan family are at this end and side of the mountain respectively, and the two families are not close but not far away. It can be seen that this acre of mountainous land is quite wide. So in this way, will this river beach also belong to the scope of the Guan family?

Li Xin thought about it and walked back, and Ah Mei asked her, "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking?" ”

"Hmm...... It's nothing. Li Xin paused and asked, "Sister, you said, if this river beach is impounded, and the lotus huā is planted and fish fry are released, the annual income should not be low, right?" ”

Ah Mei opened her mouth slightly, and said in disbelief: "Sister-in-law wants to grow lotus huā fish?" ”

"I have this idea." Li Xin nodded and replied: "Is this river beach considered to be returned to the edge of the mountains and forests?" If you return, it's your eldest brother's, and I want to raise fish and serve lotus huā. If not, it will take a lot of work......"

Ah Mei hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law, you, you mean that you want to get this river beach up here?" ”

Li Xin smiled, nodded and said, "Yes." ”

"But......" Ah Mei was shocked again and froze in place: "But, no one in the village does this......"

"It's because no one does it, so I start to make a profit."

Li Xin smiled and patted Ah Mei's back and said, "Let's go back first and ask your eldest brother." By the way, Ah Mei, is this river beach considered to be in the mountains and woodlands? ”

Ah Mei reluctantly swallowed her saliva, shook her head at Li Xin and said, "I don't know, what the eldest brother and grandpa should know......"

Li Xin said, "Then go back and ask your eldest brother about them." ”

The two sisters-in-law took Yang'er to rush back, and Erhei was probably too happy to play all the way, covered in mud and dust, and stained with grass clippings, and was still having fun on the way back.

It's really been held back for a long time, maybe it's a rare opportunity to go out with the owner, so Erhei is so high.

Li Xin ignored it, and went to call Guan Wen after returning to the new house.

Guan Wen and Lao Guantou were tidying up the new chicken shed, building a foundation, leaving a blank underneath, and putting a large piece of wooden stakes spliced into a trough, Li Xin specially explained, it is good to pull out the kind of advancement, saying that it is to collect chicken manure. Although Guan Wen felt a little incomprehensible, he thought that the chicken shed would be easier to take care of and cleaner, so he should also do it wholeheartedly.

was studying with the old man, and listened to his daughter-in-law call himself. Guan Wen hurriedly put aside the work in his hand.

Li Xin pulled him to the stove and asked straight to the point: "Awen, that day in that cave, the place that the second brother said." The river beach in the back mountain, the place where the lotus huā used to be opened, do you have an impression? ”

Guan Wen washed his hands with water and replied, "I have an impression." What's wrong? As he spoke, he looked at Li Xin, who was sitting in front of the stove.

Li Xin pursed her lips and smiled: "It's nothing, just ask you, is the river beach a part of the mountain woodland?" ”

"I don't know about this...... Guan Wen Wangtian thought for a while and said: "The mountain forest land actually doesn't mean that it is this mountain, but I roughly estimated the land that can be planted in the mountain forest, about one acre, so it is cost-effective." However, this hill is usually our family collecting firewood, and it has always been our family. Others basically don't come, after all, there are still a lot of mountains, and this mountain is not too tall, so naturally there is no shortage of this mountain. ”

Li Xin frowned slightly: "Then you and your second brother go hunting......"

"It was on another mountain, over from this mountain."

Guan Wen shook off the water in his hand, wiped it with a rag, and asked, "Why do you suddenly ask this?" ”

Li Xin didn't answer his words, but asked separately: "That river beach and that place." Can we make a living by serving? ”

Guan Wen frowned: "What do you do for a living?" ”

"Raising lotus huā."

Li Xin blinked and said to Guan Wen: "I went to see it with Ah Mei today, and that place is very good." The cave we found followed in, and at the end was the river beach, which could be connected in a line. When you come out of the stone ground, and the cave is taken care of, the river beach will be reclaimed again......"

Li Xin smiled and bent his eyes: "Are you still worried that our family can't eat rice every day?" ”

Guan Wen was a little moved, but he still couldn't believe what Li Xin said: "What kind of famous ...... can you raise a lotus?"

Li Xin doesn't know too much, but she believes that there must be people who understand and can know. She has some shallow knowledge of fish pond lotus root cultivation, and then asks experienced old farmers, if it can be done, the harvest is not only lotus huā lotus seeds, lotus roots, or fish. Aquatic animals such as yellow eels are also good...... These things can be a big benefit for her.

Thinking like this in his heart, Li Xin told Guan Wen like this, but Guan Wen shook his head and waved his hand and said, "This is not good, digging lotus root will be punished by the lotus god." ”

Li Xin glared at him: "Have you dug it?" ”

"Nope."

"And how do you know?"

"That's the ...... passed down from our ancestors"

Li Xin sighed and said, "Awen, how many years have this happened, why are you so stubborn?" Who knows if it's true or not, I don't believe it anyway. ”

Guan Wen frowned and said: "It's better to believe it than not to believe it, what the old man says always makes sense, so don't touch this business to make a living." ”

Li Xin was very displeased, let out a long breath, and said to Guan Wen: "I want to try." ”

Before Guan Wen could dissuade her, she said: "I don't want to be poor like this, if nothing else, I have to earn the dowry of Axiu and Amei, and the bundle of Yang'er in the future." ”

Guan Wen moved his mouth, sighed and said, "I know ......"

"Awen, don't forget, how did we get the money now." Li Xin stretched out his ten fingers to Guan Wen and said: "The government rewarded one hundred taels, that is a windfall from heaven, we relied on this money to pay off the debts everywhere, set up the attic, installed the fireplace, and now life is better, but how much is left, you should have a number in your heart." Although I am in charge of the money, but no matter how well I manage it, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and there will always be a time to sit and eat empty. How much can you do with a part-time job? ”

Guan Wen was speechless, and said after a while: "However, it is dangerous to do this business......"

"I don't believe in how dangerous it is." Li Xin raised his eyebrows: "I don't believe those words that have been handed down at all." As the old saying goes, if you believe it, you have it, and if you don't believe it, you don't. If I don't believe it, then the punishment of the lotus god will not fall on me. ”

Guan Wen looked at her for a while before he sighed and said, "It's useless for you to convince me, if you really want to do this, I'm afraid my father won't agree." ”

"What does it have to do with your father?"

"Dad believes this, if you know, you will definitely be afraid that you will anger the god Huā because of this, and the God Huā will punish the Guan family."

Li Xin opened his mouth and paused for a while before saying, "However, the mountains and forests are given to us." ”

"That's the way it is, but aren't we still a family with my father?" Guan Wen sighed: "And whether the river beach belongs to the mountains and forests now, I don't know, I have to go back and ask my father." If he wants to say no, you can't move. If he were to say yes, he would have figured out what you were asking the river beach to do, and if you said so, it would be strange that he would agree to you going out of the land. ”

Li Xin frowned.

Since she and Guan Wen separated, there has been less contact with Guan Ming, and this father-in-law is said to have been addicted to gambling recently, and often shouts at people in the village. If he doesn't come to trouble her, Li Xin naturally won't provoke him, looking at him and Guan Zhicheng who have been separated recently. Something happened to her mother's family during the last New Year's Festival, and I didn't see him come out and say something that made her unhappy, and the most excessive sentence that is to say "bad luck" can be ignored by her.

However, according to her father-in-law's thoughts, will she think that if she wants to move that piece of land, to anger the lotus god, it will harm Guan Zhicheng's eunuch?

This is not necessarily, after the New Year, this autumn, Xiucai can be examined, if she lotus pond is cultivated, the first batch of harvest lotus root is in the autumn. If Guan Zhicheng is not successful, according to his attitude of shirking responsibility, he must not push this matter on her? What he said, what Guan Ming believed, when the time came, it was really her own mistake, and she still couldn't say it clearly.

Li Xin was analyzing the pros and cons there, Guan Wen had been staring at her for a long time, and when he saw her frowning and sighing for a while, he also knew that she must have concerns in her heart.

After being silent for a long time, Guan Wencai said, "Xin'er, I'll tell my father." ”

"Hmm...... Yes? ”

Li Xin came back to her senses in surprise, and Guan Wen smiled at her: "If you really want to try this business, I'll go and tell my father, and I'll say it's my idea." ”

"This ......" his man is willing to stand up, of course Li Xin is very happy, but he also knows that Guan Wen is like a soft-footed shrimp in front of his family, he took this and said, the father-in-law over there is afraid that he is very unhappy, and maybe he will talk about him. At that time, Guan Wen himself was holding things in his heart, and he didn't say anything, but he must be sad.

She was reluctant to make him sad.

Guan Wen took her hand and rubbed it and said, "Don't think about it so much, since you have found a livelihood, let's do this, and I won't look for any short-term jobs." It's my own business to make my own living, make money and lose money, it's all my own business, and I'm happy not to give people a nod and a waist, and I feel a little unproductive when I receive money. ”

Li Xin shook Guan Wen's hand back with emotion, and understood in her heart.

Guan Wen used to be a dart master, and others respected him, and he retired from the position of the dart master, and he worked part-time when he was not working, so he must have seen the face of the master's family. With the contrasting differences, how can he feel good in his heart?

Let's live like this, what is lost and what is gained is called life.

Li Xin smiled at Guan Wen, patted Guan Wen's shoulder arrogantly and said, "The child is his father, this matter will be handed over to you!" Please! ”

Guan Wen laughed, saying that the smile in her eyes was extremely warm.
