Chapter 15: A New Beginning
I didn't ask him when he would be back, or what he had been up to lately. Qingtong made a few jokes with Xiao Zhi very tacitly, and ended with "Aiqing can step down".
Although Xiao Zhi inexplicably changed from a high-ranking master to a subordinate who was dismissed in the chat. But I was also very happy. He knew that the misunderstanding between them had been slowly washed away by the long river of time.
The sunshine incense burner is heavy with purple smoke, and the little master sleeps happily from afar. Although many people came to visit the New Year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Qingtong's lazy bed kung fu is still the same.
Mom had already sent off several groups of guests before she got up lazily.
"You kid, you're already the mayor of the town, why are you still lying in bed like this." Mother Yang muttered.
"I'm lazy, so I'm here, and the lazy bed is so cute." As he spoke, Qingtong made a grimace at his mother. Although he is not young, he will always be a child in front of his mother!
"Just like you, I see who dares to marry you."
As soon as she heard that her mother was about to start chanting the mantra again, Yang Qingtong hurriedly snatched the words, "Mom, whose house are we going to pay New Year's greetings in a while?" ”
"I'll make some cake first, and then I'll go to your uncle's house."
"What? Uncle Fang is back? I thought he was spending the New Year with his children. Yang Qingtong helped her mother clean up the house.
"Well, I came back the first year, and my health is not very good. But I'm glad to see that you've put the town in good order, and told me not to tell you yet. It's not a New Year's Day, so there's no need to hide anything, I'll take you over to the old man for a New Year's greeting. ”
Hearing Uncle Fang come back, a warm current welled up in Qingtong's heart. I have been able to go all the way to today, thanks to Uncle Fang. If he hadn't come back to him several times and helped him get through the difficulties several times, he might not have become the mayor of this town.
With gratitude, the cake was made very quickly. When it was busy until noon, the mother and daughter went out with fragrant cakes to greet the New Year.
The town is not big, and when it comes to the Chinese New Year, everyone goes door to door. Even if you can't see it in one place, you may encounter it again in another.
I was going to visit Uncle Fang, but I didn't expect there to be more people in his family. How many years of affection have been here, even if he is not the mayor of the town, but the villagers still have so deep feelings for him.
For a while, Uncle Fang's family couldn't sit down. Before Yang Qingtong could chat with Uncle Fang, he was pulled into the courtyard by a figure.
"Little master, have a good New Year!"
Yang Qingtong's current nickname has been called behind many people's backs, in addition to her work ability, the most important thing is her charm and character, which makes many people stunned. And those good friends who are the same age as her directly follow the habit of Xiaozhi and Ah Xian.
"Xiao Chen, why are you?" Yang Qingtong still remembers this guy who stole walnuts, although he has not been seen for a while, but his fiery red hair looks so festive on this festival.
"Hehe, of course it's me. I'm going to give the little lord a New Year's greeting first. As he spoke, Xiao Li clenched his fists.
"Happy New Year!" Yang Qingtong hurriedly returned one, but immediately said nervously: "Let's say it first, I don't have a red envelope." ”
"Where, I've been thanking you all the year, why would I ask you for a red envelope." Xiao Chen's day made me feel bad.
Yang Qingtong looked at him very cautiously, "Do you kid have any fancy intestines?" Let's talk about it. ”
"Hehe, the little master is really the little master, amazing. Actually, I want to discuss with you and contract a walnut orchard. ”
"Oh? Made a fortune with walnuts this year? ”
"I haven't made a fortune, but this is a serious thing after all, and my friends and I are now pointing to this business."
"It's a good thing to start a business, but why do you feel so trivial in your eyes?" Yang Qingtong looked at him with a solemn expression.
"Hehe, in fact, I'm optimistic about the land of Uncle Lu's house. Now that he is not in good health, he can't do any housework, so it is better to subcontract it to me, he has money, and we have something to do. As he spoke, Xiao Chen looked at Yang Qingtong with blank eyes.
"This ...... Uncle Lu's family also points to this life, if you contract it, then what will he do? Besides, you have to discuss this matter with him, what's the use of looking for me? ”
"I approached him, and he didn't agree. So this is not looking for you? ”
"This kind of thing is free, and I can still force people if you look for me. I'm sorry you guys think. And a lot of land in our town can grow walnuts, why do you have to look at Uncle Lu's family? ”
"Actually, there are not many suitable places in our town to be walnuts, but the best piece of land is his family. Now he can't grow it himself, so wouldn't it be nice for us to plant it. ”
"Strong words!" Yang Qingtong turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to him, this scoundrel still didn't seem to have changed his nature.
"No, little lord, please. It's hard for a few brothers to do something serious, you said that now that you're stuck here, you can't help us think of a way. In case we don't have anything to do, we don't have to trouble the town. ”
Yang Qingtong's eyes widened, "What?" You still dare to threaten me, don't you? Looks like your skin is really tight. ”
Xiao Chen saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly said to forgive.
"I asked you just now, even if you contract this land, will you plant it? Don't make as much money as you do now. Yang Qingtong asked.
In fact, Xiao Chen and Uncle Lu are cooperating very well now, planting and selling one by one. But this kid wants to be bigger, so he can't help but use his crooked brain.
"Actually...... This one...... It's okay, we can take our time. ”
Seeing Xiao Chen speak so unconfidently, Yang Qingtong immediately understood that these guys didn't know how to farm at all, and if they really contracted the land, they didn't know what it would be like.
But if they rejected him so decisively, it also discouraged them. And they won't be able to cooperate with Uncle Lu anymore in the future.
Yang Qingtong thought about it for a while, and then had an idea, "The day after tomorrow, you prepare something, and then I will accompany you to Uncle Lu's house." ”
"What? Do you agree to help me persuade Uncle Lu? Xiao Chen's eyes immediately lit up.
"You'll know when you go, but you'll have to listen to me when the time comes." Yang Qingtong said confidently.
