Chapter 483 Goal

.

The county magistrate obviously still doesn't believe Guan Wen's words, and there are often unfamiliar faces wandering around Guan's house.

Guan Wen became more and more silent, he didn't go out, he stayed on the slope every day, not even on the other side of the stone ground.

The day after he came back, Li Xin invited Lang Zhong to show him his legs, saying that there was no big problem, but he also had to recuperate, after all, he had "fallen". Guan Wen honestly lay in bed for a day.

The next day, he lame and fetched water, and took a brush to brush the horse's bristles.

This horse was a means of transportation left for him by Xue Qian halfway, and it was too late that day, and Li Xin didn't see it clearly. It was a tall, red-colored horse, bright-eyed, very young, and docile, and did not neigh wildly because he was in an unfamiliar environment.

Li Xin temporarily placed it in the bamboo forest, and was a little worried about how to deal with this "newcomer".

Guan Wen still has very few words.

Although Yang'er was happy that Guan Wen could stay at home so that he could see him anytime and anywhere, Yang'er also noticed Guan Wen's strange silence.

Yang'er asked Li Xin, "What's wrong with Dad?" Why don't you speak? ”

Li Xin could only whisper: "Dad has been very tired lately, if only Yang'er could make Dad happy." ”

Yang'er took Xiaokang to tell Guan Wen a joke.

Guan Wen only smiled cooperatively, but there was some indescribable astringency in his smile.

Li Xin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

She remembered what Guan Wen said that night, perhaps because the long-term depression reached a certain amount, and what happened on that day became the last straw that crushed the camel, and Guan Wen's mentality changed dramatically.

In the past, he didn't say how rich and wealthy his family should be, Li Xin always felt that Guan Wen was a person who knew how to be satisfied. If it weren't for the burden of his family that weighed on him since he was a child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left his farming to become a dart master in the town.

He has no ambitions, he is even close to being conservative. Able to eat well and dress warmly. When the family is safe and beautiful, he is satisfied.

It's just that Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng didn't give him a chance, so that he could live with such a willingness. Even her...... may also be putting pressure on Guan Wen.

That night, he made it clear. It will take him twenty years. Forge a path.

Li Xin sat in the hall and looked at Guan Wen with bamboo on the right side outside the threshold.

Li Xin could see that his sweat was running out of his sideburns, down his neck and into his collar, and the front placket was already wet.

In the autumn tiger-ravaged weather, Li Xin also felt that it was too hot.

She reached out and fanned the wind and took a sip of herbal tea. He poured another bowl and walked to Guan Wen and said, "Awen, drink some water." ”

Guan Wen raised his head and smiled at her, took the sea bowl in her hand, drank it all, handed it back to her, and then continued to bury his head in his work.

Li Xin couldn't help but sigh.

Before she could react, she had already grasped Guan Wen's wrist. He almost cut himself with the knife in his hand.

"Arwen." Li Xin looked at him and said, "You don't want to be like this...... I'm worried about you. ”

The worry in her eyes was undisguised, Guan Wen carefully took the knife with her other hand and put it on the ground, and slowly looked up at Li Xin.

"Don't worry about me." "I'm fine," he said. There has never been a moment like this now, where you can think about countless questions. ”

"Arwen ......"

"Even though I'm doing my work, my mind is still thinking." Guan Wen looked at Li Xin steadily: "I should also thank the county magistrate, they let me see myself clearly, it turns out that I am not willing to be mediocre." ”

"Even if it's nested in this place for a lifetime, it's not mediocre!"

Li Xin was a little shocked, she grabbed Guan Wen's wrist with both hands, forcing him to look at herself: "If you want to get ahead, you can't do it because of someone else's two or three sentences......

"That's not the case, Xin'er." Guan Wen calmly said to Li Xin: "Naturally, I won't say two or three words because of the county master. It's a different person entirely. I haven't changed, I've just seen myself clearly. ”

He slowly stood up, took Li Xin's hand lightly, and the two walked to the middle of the courtyard.

Guan Wen first pointed to the west and said, "There is a lotus pond over there, and you said that you could grow lotus root and raise fish." So I helped get it up. ”

Guan Wen pointed to the east side again and said, "There is a stone field over there, and it is also the place where you first discovered the cave and said that it can be picked up, so I started to clean up those large and small stones, and there is a place for Brother Feng to keep bees." ”

Guan Wen and Li Xin turned around: "This house, you spent money when you started the house, whether it was a fireplace or an attic, you thought of building it." He pointed to the cellar again: "This small place that was used was also built when you said that you wanted to store grain." Even the back room that is still resting—"

Guan Wen pointed to the new house on the north side, which was much taller than the hall house: "You also said that there were not enough houses in the house, so it was built." ”

"Awen......" Li Xin looked at Guan Wen in a daze: "Do you mean that I am in charge of your life?" ”

"No, I'm glad to have someone who has organized my life and doesn't need a little care." Guan Wen looked at Li Xin calmly, and there was even a smile in his eyes: "Xin'er, you don't know how grateful I am to you." Marrying you is definitely the most correct thing I have done in my life. ”

"Then you ......"

"I'm saying this just to tell you that after you marry me, there are too many things to do for me and the Guan family." Guan Wen's voice was a little confused: "You are even, unpaid, helping my whole family, up to grandfather, down to brothers and sisters, who of them dares to say that they haven't been taken care of by you at all?" I should have done that. ”

Li Xin moved her lips, she suddenly didn't know what she should say.

However, Guan Wen said: "You have been working hard for a year, and in the future, it is time for me to take responsibility for this family." ”

"Awen ......" Li Xin couldn't help but say: "You have never slackened!" You have not slackened off your responsibilities as the eldest son and eldest grandson, as the eldest brother! ”

"I have." Guan Wen affirmed: "At least, I made a big mistake in dealing with my father. ”

Li Xin pursed her lips.

At the beginning, Guan Wen was homesick and everything was prosperous, so she always had to endure it. The clay figure also has three points of earthiness, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and the relationship with Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng gradually deteriorated to the point of being out of control.

It was under such circumstances that Guan Wen made an attitude of breaking with Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng.

Even the incident of Miss An Jia, the death of the master of the An family, the one hundred and thirty-six taels of silver, and the escape of Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng, completely woke up Guan Wenhe.

I thought that life was starting to get better, but I didn't expect that Xiangma, who suddenly broke into view, would mess up his life again.

Li Xin's eyes turned slightly red.

"Xin'er, you've done too much for this family." Guan Wen said: "In 20 years, I want to be able to gain a firm foothold in Huixian. ”

Li Xin wiped his face: "Awen, you are using your most golden years to earn an uncertain future, have you thought about it?" ”

Guan Wen smiled lightly: "Not yet." "But I already have a goal, and I'm going to achieve it slowly, step by step," he said. ”

Li Xin only felt that his throat was dry, blood was drilling into his brain, and his temples were bursting out.

Guan Wen was waiting for the county master to give up and ask him about things he didn't know at all.

Occasionally, strangers come to Guan's house to find Guan Wen, and Guan Wen never does anything to blow people away, he receives people plainly and talks calmly. He is not a hot-tempered person, and his personality can even be said to be docile, but Li Xin has never seen him like this...... The smile on her face was fake, her speech was ethereal, and the whole person seemed to be blindfolded by something, maybe there was something wrong with her eyes, and she couldn't see Guan Wen's appearance clearly.

The bed affair at night was particularly intense, he was, and so was she, and the two seemed to have to perceive each other's existence in this kind of death-defying entanglement, as if only in this way could they be sure that the person next to them was their closest person.

Ten days later, the strangers around the Guan family gradually disappeared.

Guan Wen is still the same, he doesn't go downhill, he rows bamboo at home every day, spends more time with Lao Guantou, pinching his shoulders and beating his back, massaging his legs, and helping Lao Guantou to walk from the yard to the bamboo forest, and then turn back from the bamboo forest. or supervising Xiaokang and Yang'er to read and write, provoking Xiaokang to secretly tell Xing'er that the uncle has a black face, and he feels so serious and scary. But they still like Guan Wen very much, because he has clear rewards and punishments, although he is serious, but if he does well, he will reward Yang'er and Xiaokang.

Gradually, the smile on Guan Wen's face increased, but it looked deeper.

The autumn tiger also disappeared without a trace in such a passage of time.

The real autumn has arrived.

Lotus Village ushered in a bumper harvest.

Although Guan Ming's six-point paddy field was later lacked care, since Li Xin took one hundred and thirty-six taels of silver to repay Guan Ming's debt, the loan slip and the six-point paddy field that Guan Ming used as collateral were all returned to Li Xin's hands. In the later period, the paddy field still received some care from Guan Wen and Guan Wu.

Although the production is not much, there are still some.

It just so happened that the owner of a field next to the old house of the Guan family was going to sell this field, Guan Wen negotiated the price with the owner, bought the field back, leveled the ridge in the middle, and made up an acre of paddy field.

When the grain collector came to collect the grain, he was a little puzzled, and the six-cent paddy field could have paid a part of the tax less, because part of the field belonged to a Xiucai. Guan Wen corrected the misunderstanding of the grain collector and said that this field is now theirs and has nothing to do with that Xiucai.

In order not to happen to similar things in the future, Guan Wen also deliberately went to the town again and went to the yamen to issue documents - although Guan Wen never wanted to enter the yamen again.

Even if he rejects the Yamen place in his heart, he still has to make such a trip, Q
