Farmer's Favorite

Today's night is not destined to be peaceful.

Among the hundreds of households in Xishan Village, there are hundreds of people who go out to earn money.

Even if what happened at the Zaowu happened not long ago, in less than an hour, basically everyone in the village knew about it.

On Village Chief Lin's side, the whole family gathered around the table. They didn't have the usual smiles on their faces, but they didn't have any bad emotions either. They were just thinking about something.

The first person to speak was not the village head Lin, who was the head of the family, but Lin Baocheng who couldn't bear it.

He said: "What's there to think about? Brother Zhuang will do business for us, as long as he can earn something. The land is so vast. Without this place, we have to work harder and go farther to do business. And to put it bluntly, Everyone in our village has to rely on Big Brother Zhuang, so don't have any bad intentions."

As soon as he finished speaking, he looked at his father and two older brothers.

If anyone in this village admired Zhuang Xinyan the most, it was Lin Baocheng.

In his heart, everything Brother Zhuang does is right. Even now, even if the business of Young Master Ren belongs to Brother Zhuang, to him, it is Lin Zhili's own laziness. A business is done, instead of drawing people here, how could such a big business be lost.

As for Brother Zhuang's actions, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. The money delivered to the door was not profitable, so why?

As a result, he looked at his family this way.

What I saw was not the expression I imagined, but the expression of holding back a smile.

Lin Baocheng touched his head, feeling a little confused.

Village head Lin shook his head and sighed, "You are just a fool."

After finishing speaking, he took a sip of the warm wine in his cup, and then, Village Chief Lin said: "You can understand, how can we not understand? It's just that our family understands what's the use, the main thing is to look at other people in the village. man."

In fact, Village Chief Lin still has some worries in his heart.

Perhaps more than half of the people didn't take it to heart. What he was worried about was that some people had a gap in their hearts, although to Zhuang Xinyan, it didn't matter whether their thoughts were good or not.

What he was worried about was that after a long time, when these people made the village a mess, would Zhuang Xinyan choose to leave?

After all, it was easy for Zhuang Xinyan to leave.

At this time, basically every household in the village is discussing this issue.

In an adobe house on the east side.

An old woman saw the worry on the faces of her family members, she turned directly and went back to the house, she came back after a while, and said to the family members: "Do you remember how we are now last year?"

The few people who were asked had doubts on their faces, but they all remembered last year.

It was snowing all over the sky last year and it was extremely cold. They were so cold that they were shivering all day long.

It was ice and snow, and it was impossible to go up the mountains, and it was impossible to go hunting at all. Fortunately, some food was prepared in autumn. Even if they ate dried and pickled vegetables for a whole winter, they didn't have any complaints, or even rejoiced.

After all, they survived another winter.

While thinking about it, they suddenly discovered that they had never felt cold this winter, and all of them were wearing newly made cotton padded clothes, which were very warm, and they didn't even save on food every day. I am afraid that if I eat too much, I won’t be able to survive this winter. I don’t have such thoughts at all.

From worry to depression, all the way to clarity.

At this time, the old woman put the things she had just taken out of the room on the table.

A few grains of silver, and a small pile of copper plates.

The old woman's face was full of smiles, she said: "Now, tell me, who brought this money to our family?"

The other people in the room looked at each other with faint smiles on their faces at this moment. They didn't say the person's name right away, but they all knew who this person was in their hearts.

In a long-unrepaired brick house on the west side.

There are more than a dozen people in the family, big and small, without the warmth of the past, but two sides are arguing.

The voice was so loud that he couldn't even care about the crying child next to him.

The content of the quarrel is not that one party is going to do something bad.

It was that one side wanted to calm down the matter, while the other side proposed to talk about this problem with the village chief and think of some solutions.

Just when they were arguing to no avail.

Sitting on one side, a boy about thirteen or fourteen, he raised his head and asked, "What if Brother Zhuang is still stunned by Zhuang Er?"

The voice that came out was not loud, at least in this quarreling room, it seemed a bit small.

But the strange thing is that the words of these people stopped abruptly, and a blank expression appeared on their faces.

Yes.

What if Zhuang Xinyan is still the old Zhuang Er Leng?

Zhuang Er Leng fled here four years ago.

It was not like it is now. He lived in the mountains, and he didn’t go down the mountains a few times throughout the year. He didn’t have any dealings with the people in the village. There were no flower cakes or salted eggs. The village was still so barren. Less than any hope.

However, when Zhuang Er Leng became Zhuang Xinyan, when Zhuang Xinyan met Lin Qi.

Their whole village has undergone earth-shaking changes.

And the person who brought about these changes was Zhuang Xinyan.

That being the case, they have received so many benefits without paying any money or efforts, so what qualifications do they have to complain and complain?

A man came out, he reached out and patted the boy's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Good boy, you didn't even think about it, but you just pointed it out in one sentence, not bad, promising."

As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the back of the head, and an old man behind him said angrily: "You bastard, who are you calling me old man in front of?"

It's just that, with just these two sentences, the dispute in the room was gone, and the previous harmony was restored.

In addition, there is a yard next to it in harmony.

The members of the same big family shook their heads when they heard the neighbors arguing.

An old man said: "Being neighbors with that old man for so many years, I have become more and more confused. The family actually quarreled over such a simple matter, and I am not afraid of outsiders' jokes."

"Father, isn't it because you are smart, you can figure out what other people think about for a long time." A man laughed and said.

The old man raised his head, with a little complacency, "That's right, and it's a no-brainer at all, who is Zhuang Xinyan? New things appear one after another, and look at the rich and powerful people he made friends with. You can see that he is different from us mud-legged people."

As he said that, he gradually raised the corners of his mouth: "He is willing to support our village now, we just accept it, and still think that the uprising will fail? Besides, Zhuang Xinyan did nothing wrong in today's matter. When a customer comes to buy something, he can buy it wherever he likes, can we still be like bandits, pulling people to sell by force?"

After finishing speaking, a little boy next to him clapped his hands, "Grandpa, what you said is really good."

The old man raised his eyebrows, accepted the compliment, and then said: "After dinner, I'll go to the neighbor next door to talk about the reason, don't let them make trouble and make Zhuang Xinyan unhappy, At that time, there will be no one to support our village, and everything will return to the original point."

The old man is very clear in his heart. Now their village relies on Zhuang Xinyan, but they can only rely on him.

They are all country people, they don't want to be rich, they just want to be able to eat and wear clothes, so that their children and grandchildren don't have to work hard for their livelihood like their ancestors did.

Now that Zhuang Xinyan took them with him, he was still earning a lot of money and doing things well, so why do they still complain?

Thinking about it this way, he decided not only to go to the house next door, but also to go to a few more houses later.

On the other side, the smell of food was wafting in the house, and the family members seemed to be as usual, and they didn't seem to care about what happened today.

However, He Shi looked at the frowning man sitting next to her, and she said, "What are you thinking about? Could it be that you are thinking about today's events? Don't be stupid, it's clear that Lin Zhili is lazy. We don't want to learn from him and run away on business." Going outside can gain more knowledge and make more friends.”

Lin Shuangyong laughed out loud when he heard his wife's words.

But then he restrained his smile again, and said: "It's not about today, but I suddenly remembered something, and I always feel a little confused."

He Shi sat up straight, and she said: "Then tell me, you can't figure it out by yourself, so we may not be able to give you an idea if you say it."

Lin Shuangyong said: "I have seen it when I went out during this time. Generally speaking, salted eggs are a new food, and there are many people who buy them. The price is going to be high. I am afraid that some people are willing to buy them, but why does Zhuang Xin eat them?" Yan wants to set the price so low?"

But He Shi said: "Is this price still low? No matter how high the price is, ordinary people can't afford it. The people who really want to afford it are the rich and powerful."

"Mother, the price is high, okay. Dad can earn so much now at this price. If the selling price of salted eggs is higher, then we will really make a fortune. When the time comes to buy a big house and a field, maybe we can do it again." Buy some servants to serve you."

He pinched his eldest son's face, and said, "You bastard, you know how to daydream. After the new year, go out and run with your father, don't just stay here..."

"I see!"

Before He's finished speaking, Lin Shuangyong suddenly slapped the table in fear.

He got up in a hurry, ignoring the shouts behind him, and ran to the village chief's house. He couldn't wait to tell the people in the village what he was thinking.

It turned out that as early as the very beginning, someone had already considered everything for them.

At this time, Zhuang Xinyan didn't know what the people in the village were thinking.

He was reclining on the chair now, but Lin Qi was lying in his arms.

Zhuang Xin extended his fingers and played around Lin Qi's waist, as if he was playing the strings of a piano.

Lin Qi felt a little itchy, so he quickly reached out and grabbed his palm, holding it firmly with one hand, and reading the scriptures with the other.

During this period of time, he has gradually become able to recognize more characters, but it is still difficult for him to read the script, he can't even make a guess, and asks from time to time: "What word is this?"

Zhuang Xinyan raised his head slightly, took a look, and said, "Follow me, follow me, it's like you have been following me all your life."

Lin Qi chuckled and held each other's hands tightly.

Zhuang Xinyan kissed Lin Qi's ear, and he said softly, "I was wrong, you are the one who will follow me forever."

Lin Qi felt a little itchy, he shrank his neck, and said softly: "Then it's a deal, and you don't want to get rid of me."

Zhuang Xinyan tightened his arms around Lin Qi's waist, and said, "How is that possible, how can I be willing to throw you away."

Lin Qi responded with a soft hum. He put the script aside, propped his arms and turned around, leaned into his man's arms, and hugged him tightly, "I'm a little sleepy."

Zhuang Xinyan said, "Go to bed?"

Lin Qi shook his head, resting his chin on his chest, raised his head and asked, "Will today's incident have any impact on you?"

Zhuang Xinyan stroked his hair, "I don't know yet, maybe tomorrow will have the answer."

After speaking, he asked again: "If we say that we leave this place with charcoal cakes and go to a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to settle down, do you think it's okay?"

Lin Qi looked at him, with a smile on his lips, and he said seriously: "I told you to follow you, I will go wherever you go."

It is undeniable that at this moment, Zhuang Xinyan was really relieved.

He didn't have much feeling for Xishan Town.

The reason for staying here.

It is because of Lin Qi, and also because the villagers here are very simple and have no bad intentions. Living in this place does not have any pressure in their hearts.

But once the taste changed, the villagers complained more and became jealous, entangled in trivial matters, and could not be at peace.

When he really got to that place, he would definitely take Lin Qi away without hesitation. The world is so big, with his ability, he can live a better life in any place.

And he can exaggerately say that without him, Xishan Village will definitely go back to the past.

Now, Lin Qi's answer without hesitation reassured him a lot.

Zhuang Xinyan asked: "Then tell me, where should we go?"

Lin Qi suddenly lost his sleepiness, he raised his chin, and said with great interest: "We can take more walks, and going to the seaside is also good. Didn't you say that there are many fresh foods at the seaside, or go to the south? The scenery is famous, and the storybook describes it beautifully, so I want to see it too.”

Zhuang Xinyan listened carefully, stroking his cheeks with his fingers, looking forward to what the little husband said, he also had expectations in his heart.

What he is looking forward to is not delicious food or beautiful scenery, but the people around him.

Just like that, the two lay on the bench hugging each other, and you and I talked about our expectations for the future.

Before he knew it, Lin could not resist the drowsiness and fell asleep leaning on Zhuang Xinyan.

Until the next day, when he woke up, he was already lying on the bed.

After dressing and washing, he went out.

What I saw was a very strange scene.

Outside the gate.

Zhuang Xinyan was standing in the stove house, but surrounded by a group of strangers, and the outside circle was the folks in the village.

Lin Qi's heart immediately tensed up. He was just about to run forward to see what was going on, but found his man standing in the center, waving his hands to greet him.

When the people around Zhuang Xinyan saw it, they immediately gave way. Lin Qi hurried forward, subconsciously reached out to hold his hand, and asked softly, "What happened?"

With a slight smile on his face, Zhuang Xinyan replied, "Our plan to leave may be a few years later."

Literally, it feels a little regretful, but in fact, there is a smile on his face.

Even Zhuang Xinyan himself didn't think of it.

But the next day, he already knew the answer.

When he got up early in the morning, he went out the gate, and the folks from the village greeted him, bringing customers who came from other places to buy salted eggs to the stove house, in order to introduce business to him.

Looking at these familiar folks, Zhuang Xinyan really wanted to laugh at that time.

He knew, but after one night, most of the people in the village really remembered it, but they did it in the same candid way, that is, they brought those people who came to the town to inquire about salted eggs to the village Come, solicit business for him.

At the same time, it is also expressing their meaning.

After working for half a day, I finally sent these guests away.

At this time, Village Chief Lin came to the door.

It wasn't until this time that Zhuang Xinyan knew what happened last night.

When it comes to their own interests, anyone will have some ideas.

It's just that some people think deeper and further, especially Lin Shuangyong.

Village head Lin said: "After Lin Shuangyong came and listened to his words, I realized that you have thought so much about the people in our village from the very beginning, so thoughtful and so long-term."

I don't know whether to express my admiration or my gratitude.

If at the beginning, they went to the surrounding towns to do business, and everyone returned home with a lot of money, whether they were local hooligans or some powerful people, once they noticed them, they might even go home by then. no.

To the people in the village, they have made a lot of money, but the money is nothing in the town or the city, so naturally it won't attract anyone's attention.

Even now, with the help of Zhuang Xinyan's co-workers, the villagers can get some shelter when they are away, which is really great.

Village head Lin is extremely grateful to Zhuang Xinyan at this time, but at the same time, he also admires Lin Shuangyong. There are so many people in the village, he is the only one who can understand clearly.

As for today, Zhuang Xinyan is also very satisfied.

Perhaps, there are still some people in the village who are dissatisfied, but he never asked for everything. For now, most people in Xishan Village only feel grateful to him, and have no other bad emotions.

That's enough.

After all, the most lovable people are contented and happy, aren't they?
