Chapter 624: The Wine Workshop
When he returned to the village that night, Guan Wen carefully pondered how to tell Li Xin about this.
The work of building the courtyard wall at home is basically completed, and only some finishing work remains. When Guan Wen arrived home, there were still two craftsmen who were packing up his things, and when he saw him, he naturally greeted him with a smile.
Guan Wen nodded at them, first went around to the back and tied up Hong Huan, and then went to the hall.
Li Xin tilted his head to see him walk in, and raised his eyebrows: "Did you drink huā wine last night?" ”
Guan Wen suddenly laughed and said, "If I drink huā wine, will I ask someone to come back and talk to you?" ”
Guan Wen walked over and sat next to Li Xin, reached out and touched her stomach, and said, "It's not good to push off the temporary drinking situation." ”
"It's not a fox friend, is it?" Li Xin squinted at him.
Guan Wenle said: "You all know, Shen Sanye, Shen Siye, and Xue Ye." Do you say it's a fox friend? ”
Li Xin had a blank expression on his face, frowned, and said, "Why did you think of drinking with them...... We're not all the same way with them. ”
"Shen Siye called, it's not good to refuse him."
Guan Wen paused and said to Li Xin: "I have a few things to tell you. ”
"What's the matter?"
Guan Wendao: "Yesterday, Cousin Changsheng came to me and wanted to do something in the wine shop, and I agreed. ”
Li Xin nodded: "You can make your own decisions about the things in your shop, Cousin Changsheng is also a sincere person, he shouldn't be bad at doing things." ”
Guan Wen smiled and said: "If he cheats and cheats, even if it is my relative, I will not hire him." ”
After a pause, Guan Wen said: "Changsheng told me that if the wine shop is started in the future, the business is good, and he can build a wine shop in depth, and he will also have a place to play." I thought it was a good suggestion. ”
Li Xin straightened up, knowing that Guan Wen was talking to him about business.
"Do you want to do it at the brewery?" Li Xin asked directly.
Guan Wen shook his head: "I don't have this plan yet, but I heard Changsheng mention this, and I was a little moved." Guan Wen said: "I just wanted to be a wine shop, but also to hide people's eyes, isn't it better to do it really? It's not impossible to start a wine shop, but this is not a simple matter, there are countless wine shops in Huixian County, and doing this is indeed to make money, but it will not make a lot of money. In the past, there was no way to do this, but now there is Chang Sheng, and there are still some masters in the winery where he was before, and the winery has collapsed, and the people are still there, if they can be hired back, they will have skilled hands in this matter. ”
Li Xin thought about it carefully, and just as Qingya and Guozi came in with vegetables, they hurriedly stopped the topic and said, "Let's eat first." ”
After the meal, Li Xincai said to Guan Wen: "If you really want to start the wine shop, I suggest you get up now." Those old acquaintances don't wait for you to find someone to come out to do things, they also have to eat and support their families. Unless you start a winery now, by the time you want to find someone, they'll already have owners. ”
This is indeed a problem, Guan Wen thought about it carefully, and asked Li Xin: "Then do you think I can't afford to get up a wine shop?" "It's enough to think about the money in hand.
Li Xin paused and said, "It's up to you." But Awen, you also said that in our county, there are many wine shops. You won't make a lot of money starting a winery, and if you want to stand out, you have to have new tricks. Otherwise, you're just a dispensable. ”
Guan Wen smiled: "Well, I know. ”
Li Xin asked Guan Wen to make up his mind, and Guan Wen had already made up his mind in his heart.
After a few more idle words, Guan Wen told Li Xin that Uncle Li Hou asked him about borrowing money. and took out the IOU written by Uncle Li Hou from his arms.
"At that time, I thought that something was wrong at home, and you were about to give birth in a month or two, and I was worried every day. It turned out that it wasn't something at home, it was something at your third uncle's house. Guan Wenyan concisely told what happened in Uncle Li Hou's house, and said: "The fight between the two women injured your cousin. ”
Li Xin looked at the IOU and frowned deeply: "You shouldn't have dealt with him." ”
Guan Wen said with a smile: "He came to the door in the middle of the night, and it was for your cousin's life, if I ignore him, I'm afraid I will be uneasy in the future." ”
Li Xin looked away in annoyance.
"You, like your mother-in-law, have a knife mouth and a tofu heart." Guan Wen circled Li Xin and said: "If you are really annoyed that I gave him the money, I am afraid that I will be angry with me at this time." ”
"I'm annoyed that you gave him money...... Li Xin said hatefully: "I can't control my own woman, I have harmed my son, and he still has the face to come to you to give money." I'm sure he asked you for it, not for you to borrow it. ”
Guan Wen wanted to say, "Daughter-in-law, you guessed accurately" in the end, he still stopped this joke, and said: "I heard that your cousin is okay now, so you don't have to worry." The IOU is here, and your third uncle can't rely on it. ”
Li Xin threw the IOU to Guan Wen: "Take it farther away, I'm annoyed." ”
After a pause, he said to Guan Wen: "You shouldn't lend it to him!" I still remember when you were hurt......"
Li Xin was pregnant, and her emotions were already unstable, and when she mentioned this incident that made her almost desperate, she suddenly felt very aggrieved, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"I said cruel things at that time, and I won't pay attention to them when they beg me in the future......"
"Okay, okay, it's my fault, it's all my fault......" Guan Wen took her in his arms distressedly, with a smile on his face, and sighed lightly: "It's been so long, do you still remember?" I'll be fine again. Besides, this incident is to save your cousin's life, and your cousin is not a big traitor, so I call you sister, and I really ask for it in front of you, can you ignore it? ”
Li Xin wanted to say "can" confidently, but when the words came to his mouth, he couldn't jump out.
Guan Wen helped her to the back room, and passed by the door of the old Guantou house and said hello to the old Guantou. The old man smiled and waved his hand to let the little couple go busy with their own going, and went for a walk downhill slowly.
Li Xin hurriedly gave Qingya a look and asked her to keep up with the old juncture.
After Guan Quan and Hu Yueying's affair happened, Guan Wen was afraid that Lao Guan would be stimulated, so he gave a gag order to everyone in the family, and he also fished with Lao Guan Tou and talked to relieve his boredom. So it's been a while since things happened, and the old juncture still doesn't know, and he lives his life happily every day.
Guan Wen watched Lao Guan go out, and whispered to Li Xin: "You can't keep it from grandpa, grandpa will always know." ”
Li Xin didn't know this reason: "Then you say, when will you tell grandpa about it?" ”
Guan Wen hesitated again.
Li Xin sighed: "Let's let the fourth brother tell his grandfather by himself." ”
Guan Wen nodded silently.
Two days later, when Li Xin was making clothes for the baby in her belly, Liu came to the door in a hurry.
"Xin'er!" Liu glared at Li Xin, sat down directly beside her, first looked up and down at the green girl and the fruit, and after Li Xin made an introduction, the two girls saluted with Liu, and then Liu waved them down, and said to Li Xin with a face: "Your third uncle borrowed money to borrow money from you, why don't you tell your mother!" ”
Li Xin exhaled: "Mother, why do you know about this?" ”
"What, you still want to hide it from your mother?" Liu said angrily: "Have you forgotten what your third uncle did to you and Arwen in the first place? Now that he is in trouble, you can help him generously! ”
Li Xin wanted to say that the money was given to her third uncle by Guan Wen, but she didn't know in advance. But seeing Liu's posture, I was afraid that I would have to scold before I could relieve my anger, so I could only bow my head and let her scold and not fight back.
Sure enough, after Liu scolded him, he stopped scolding and said, "Your third uncle came back to the village to ask your father to ask your uncle for money, and your father wanted to give it, but I stopped him." Your uncle said that he wouldn't give it, and your third uncle said in a weird way that his niece and son-in-law were willing to give it, this is still an outsider, and if you are a pro-uncle, you have to watch your nephew die or something...... Otherwise, how do you think your mother and I know that you lent him money? ”
Liu couldn't help but nod Li Xin's forehead again: "Tell me, how much did he borrow?" ”
Li Xin said: "Fifty taels." ”
"What!" Liu almost jumped up from the stool: "Fifty taels?!" ”
Li Xin nodded, seeing that the Liu family was about to be furious again, and hurriedly said: "Mother, Ah Wen asked the third uncle to write an IOU, and he can't rely on it." ”
Liu paused, but still scolded: "What if you write an IOU?" What can you do if he drags it and doesn't pay it back! Liu Shi paced back and forth a few times: "If you urge you to pay back the money, he will say that you forced him!" The more your third uncle lives, the more scoundrel he becomes, it's strange that you can reason with him! ”
Li Xin muttered, "I didn't want to reason with him......"
"Then how dare you lend him money!"
"Mother, the money was lent out by Awen, and when the time comes, if you want to repay the debt, then it can only be Awen who comes forward. There's nothing I do here. Li Xin pursed her lips and said: "Mother, you are really worrying, you came to me here to scold me at this time, but you scolded me freely, if you are not there, the third uncle borrows it to your father's head, and your father will give it to him with a soft heart, and you have no place to make trouble." ”
Liu slapped his forehead suddenly: "Ouch, it's broken!" ”
rushed to the door in a hurry, turned around and came back to Li Xin and said: "You should pay attention to your body yourself, there are still a month or two to give birth, don't lie in bed every day and don't move, take two more steps every day, it will be easier to give birth to a baby...... Mother won't tell you more, and when you want to give birth to a baby, your mother will come to accompany you. ”
After Liu finished speaking, he ran down the slope like a gust of wind, urging the driver to whip the driver to Lijia Village.
Li Xin looked at Liu's appearance and felt funny, held her stomach and watched Liu's walk away, and said to Qingya: "Go to the hot bowl of goat's milk, I'll drink some to make up for sleep." ”
Qingya hurriedly responded to the call to do things.
Li Xin drank goat's milk, slept and woke up, and it was almost time for dinner.
Guan Wen came back with a meal, and said to Li Xin excitedly: "I have contacted the masters of the old winery, and Changsheng will take the lead, and in just these two days, the winery will start construction." After a pause, Guan Wen said, "Today, there are merchants from Jingshi who have come to buy wine." ”
