Seeing this situation, the most complicated thing in his heart is Hou Liangping, Li Rui has the support of a senior sister like Liu Qin, and the prestige of Mao Buyi in the village is even higher, when he thinks of this, he is so envious.

In order to tie up with Li Rui, he uncharacteristically promoted Li Rui's goodness, saying that the new governor was his classmate, and the two also exchanged mobile phone numbers, this honor is not available to anyone, it is a private number, not an office number.

This time it was even more lively, everyone turned to Li Rui, and said words of praise vigorously, and after coming and going, they also slapped Mao Buyi's fart, and the sixth aunt who was unknown on the side was so happy that her face was sour.

Such a face-raising thing is no different from the first time Mao Buyi became the village head, and he hasn't been complimented by the villagers for several years, so I really miss it.

Indeed, in recent years, things have been wrong. Mao Buyi re-emerged as the village chief, but the village's evaluation of him was much worse than before, firstly, because Mao Buyi was there, and his physical strength, energy and brain power could not be compared with when he was young, and secondly, because Turtle Village was indeed too poor, and the outside world changed a lot.

It is said that if you want to get rich, you must first build the road, but the road is repaired, but the rich are still on the road, and it has not arrived for a long time.

This not only saddened the people of Turtle Village, but also weighed heavily on Mao Buyi's heart like a stone, and in just a few years, Mao Buyi has changed from a capable little old man to a bad old man with a lump back and white hair.

Li Rui saw that everyone was flattering Mao Buyi, so he quietly slipped into the ground. He is not from Turtle Village, so he has no land in the village, but there is an ownerless wasteland in Turtle Village, and Mao Buyi allows him to go there to get some melon seedlings and be self-sufficient.

The land in the mountains is not very regular, and from time to time a small hillside and a small depression have been considered a good leveled field. In front of the land is a small pond with an area of more than two acres, which is among the top ten of all the ponds in the village.

The pond and the road are separated by a small grove of walnut trees, interspersed with peach, persimmon and orange trees. The groves are planted on the hillside, surrounded by rocks and small mud pits, and no one pays attention to them. Therefore, according to the rules of the village, such an attached and chaotic place belongs to whoever is close to the house.

The geology on the hillsides is not good, and these fruit trees are not expected to produce much economic benefit, mainly to prevent soil erosion on the side of the road, and boulders on the higher slopes.

The bottom of the pond is slightly turbid, the water surface is very clear, and since it is a stagnant pond, there are many aquatic plants. It is precisely because of the presence of aquatic plants that the water quality can be maintained in good condition. There is a ring of reeds and other common weeds growing around the pond, and there are also several relatively cheap Chinese herbs, which are not usually picked.

The main income of the people of Guicun is agricultural products, such as melons, fruits and vegetables grown in their own fields, as well as wild fish and shrimp caught in the river, and of course, there are fish raised in their own ponds, but because they can't make a few dollars, and even lose money in two years, the people in the village are not interested in fish farming. The natural farming method is adopted, which is to sprinkle some fry into it every year and then leave it to fend for itself. When the people in the town collect fish, they go down to the net to catch it, and the big ones are sold, and the small ones continue to be thrown in to raise.

The quality of the fish raised in this way is good, not much different from the wild ones, the disadvantage is that the yield is not high, it is troublesome when fishing, and there are often big fish missing. If big fish such as catfish and black fish exist, some small fry will be miserable and become food in the mouths of large fish.

Li Rui knows that the people in the village lack scientific breeding methods, and feel that there is a pond on the ground to raise some fish at will, sell it, and eat it yourself if it can't be sold, and there is no idea of special breeding. Therefore, it is mostly a mixed culture method of crucian carp, carp, grass carp, and silver carp, and the fry are thrown into the pond and nothing is done. Due to the small number of fry thrown away, even the feed money is saved.

What's more, these are common fish that don't sell for a good price. In addition, the fishmongers deliberately lowered the price on the grounds that the carts could not pass, and the villagers' idea of raising fish became weaker and weaker.

There are two thatched huts on the ground, which are used to watch watermelons at night when they are ripe. It's not that people are afraid of stealing, but mainly that wild beasts are corrupted. A few years ago, when the watermelons were ripe, a group of monkeys came down from the mountains and destroyed them overnight, and one-third of the watermelons grown in the village were destroyed, causing heavy losses. Since then, the villagers have begun to pay attention to conservation work, and they have built thatched huts in the fields.

Seeing the thatched house, Li Rui's heart moved, and he was worried that there was no place to transfer the ninth master's self-brewing, which just provided him with an excellent place.

The thatched hut was unlocked, and when I pushed the door in, there was a damp smell inside, and there was only an old wooden bed, not even a table.

After choosing the venue, Li Rui went to the ninth master's wine shop to buy wine.

The aged old wine in Jiu Ye's house is of the best quality, but the price is slightly expensive, and with Li Rui's existing funds, he will go bankrupt if he can't buy much. Finally, according to statistics, there are more than 6,000 catties of liquor that meets Li Rui's requirements. Each large wine jar should be 100 catties, and at least 60 jars should be filled.

The big wine jar is easy to do, and there are people in the next village who burn pottery and porcelain, and the wine jar and wine bottle that are usually used are customized there. The sealing material is also ready-made, and this is the most important thing for sake brewing workshops.

Both sides of the price do not suffer, Li Rui wants to give Jiuye the retail price in the market, but Jiuye is righteous, saying that he is a friend introduced by Li Rui, and it is the first time to cooperate, so he can't let the family suffer, so he gave the wholesale price. In the end, three types of wine, 6,000 catties, cost a total of 60,000 yuan. Among them, corn wine is the cheapest, small sorghum wine is moderate, and Wuliang wine is the most expensive. On average, a pound of wine is only ten yuan, and in the big cities outside, you can only buy the worst Erguotou at this price.

Jiu Ye is very practical in business, and directly transported the wine to Li Rui's house, and the wine jar is very tightly packaged, the seal does not run out, and after the type label is affixed, it is tied with straw rope several times to prevent it from breaking during transportation.

Li Rui counted the money to the ninth master, sixty thousand yuan, six stacks, watching the ninth master's family so happy that his mouth couldn't close, Li Rui also felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.

"Yes, after 60,000 yuan, we have earned more than 9,000 yuan in this single business! Normally, we can't make it in a year! Li Rui, this is all your credit. Well, it's a thousand, and it's yours. After the ninth master counted the money, he actually took out ten sheets and stuffed them into Li Rui's hand.

This isn't nonsense, I won't want to kill Li Rui. With so much wine, they only earned more than 9,000, and this is not counting the wages of their whole family, if the wages are counted, this is the same as working in vain.

"Don't! Ninth Master, didn't you slap me in the face! No, absolutely not, it's a big deal that I'll carry two more jars of ten years of good wine home tomorrow......"

After speaking, Li Rui fled and left the ninth master's house. Mao Dahu still took a thousand yuan and chased him far away.

What a simple family! Li Rui sighed.

It was dark and not completely dark, and the evening breeze slowly blew through the courtyard.

Mao Buyi was very happy today and invited Li Rui to his home to drink with him.

The two were drinking a little wine and chatting when they heard a shout outside the door.

"Uncle, auntie, you just eat."

Listening to the voice, you know that Mao Yurou is coming.

The sixth aunt hurriedly stood up and shouted: "Yurou, have you eaten, come and eat together." ”

Li Rui's attitude towards Mao Yurou is very ordinary, he knows that Mao Yurou must have some benefits to get from him when he comes here.

"Oh, Li Rui, why are you still like no one......

Mao Yurou twisted her body and sat down, and said something in a weird way.

Li Rui was stunned for a moment, and said suspiciously: "What does Sister Yurou mean?" ”

Mao Yurou was surprised: "Don't you know? ”

"What do you know?"

When Li Rui saw Mao Yurou's expression, he also felt as if something important had happened, and this matter was directly related to him.

The sixth aunt said curiously: "Yurou, you can tell me directly, is there something happening in the village?" ”

Mao Yurou looked at the four pairs of big eyes staring at her curiously, and couldn't help but feel funny.

"It's not easy, it's the biggest news in the village for so many years."

Mao Buyi took a sip of wine and asked directly: "Yurou, don't sell Guanzi, tell us directly!" ”

Mao Yurou glanced at Li Rui, thinking to herself, didn't he know, didn't he, the client, know that he was about to come to a catastrophe.

"Why are you staring at me?" Li Rui said a little angrily.

Mao Yurou said softly: "Don't look at who you see, were you on the mountain yesterday?" ”

Li Rui nodded.

Mao Yurou continued: "Did you meet Hou Delin's granddaughter? ”

Hearing this, Li Rui faintly felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Sure enough, Mao Yurou said what Li Rui was most worried about, and now the whole village has spread it.

Some people say that when they saw Hou Xuening limping down from the mountain with Li Rui, Hou Xuening was disheveled, her face was extremely unnatural, and she must have been insulted on the mountain, and Li Rui, who went down the mountain with her, was the culprit.

"What?!" Mao Buyi was shocked and looked at Li Rui with an incredulous expression.

"Li Rui, Li Rui, I really misjudged you, I thought you were a righteous gentleman, but I didn't expect you to ......"

The sixth aunt hurriedly ran over and grabbed Mao Buyi, and said in a low voice: "Old man, you still don't know Li Rui's character, it's impossible for him to come here." ”

The sixth aunt didn't believe that Li Rui could do such an immoral thing, and persuaded her: "These people in the village who watch the excitement are not a big deal, and they curse them to make up nonsense and have sores on their tongues." ”

Mao Yurou stood up, sighed and said, "To be honest, I don't believe it, I still know Li Rui's personality well." You, now there are many people who are popular, our Turtle Village is a poor place, and people in poor places have a special place, that is, you are poor, I am poor, everyone is harmonious, there is nothing, but once any family is rich and powerful, it will be different, and it is light to be jealous of you behind your back and talk about you, and it will be good if you don't calculate. ”

"Yurou, what the hell do you mean?"

"What else does it mean, it must be because the new Governor Liu came to your house today, Li Rui is in the limelight now, and there are some unbalanced people in the village who are making trouble behind their backs!"

Li Rui glanced at Mao Yurou, just touching her pretending to be a complaining look, it was obvious that Mao Yurou alluded to Li Rui's rejection of her that night, and she was still haunted by it in her heart.

Mao Yurou had long thought that she had a bit of a good look, no worse than Hou Xuening, in addition to being a few years older than her, she was also married, but at that time, she was extremely charming to Li Rui, and he also held it, which shows that he is quite determined about this kind of thing.

Mao Buyi put down his hand, glanced at Mao Yurou and said, "Thank you, Sister Yurou, you go back first, I will handle this matter myself." ”

Mao Yurou nodded, she had to leave, she was going to come to see Li Rui's jokes, but she didn't expect Li Rui to be so calm, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

When Mao Yurou left, Mao Buyi sat down and asked, "Li Rui, what's wrong?" When did you meet Hou Xuening? ”
