How to Save a Failed Farm

The weather is getting cooler, and fewer and fewer people come to the vineyard.After being busy for more than half a year, they were finally able to take a breath and returned to the state of doing nothing.

Ye Qun sat cross-legged on the floor of the study and calculated this year's bills.After the reception, they signed several long-term cooperation orders, and the inventory was reduced by half immediately, and the income will be credited to the account according to the season.After deducting costs, transportation fees, taxes, labor costs, etc., the net profit of a bottle of red wine is about 60 knives. As long as the wine can be sold, this industry is a huge profit.

The sound of Lance pressing the handle made his forehead twitch anxiously, Ye Qun couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed a pillow and threw it over: "Why do you have to play video games in the study!"

"You didn't let me help." Lance obediently turned off the handle, pouted a little aggrieved, "I have no choice but to stay here with you."

His innocent eyes forced Ye Qun to swallow the somewhat heartless "I didn't ask you to accompany me." He said angrily, "If you help with the bill, it will be messed up."

"You're biased!" Lance protested. "I'm half-English, but I grew up in America!"

Ye Qun said indifferently in his heart, "Is this why you undercounted a zero when you sold fifty chickens for $65?"

"It was just an oversight... I accidentally wrote a zero..." Lance scratched his hair embarrassingly, and stood there as if he had made a mistake.

"I'll make you a cup of coffee!" Lance had an idea, guilty of avoiding Ye Qun's glare, and ran downstairs quickly.

But after more than 20 minutes, Lance still hadn't come back. Ye Qun glanced at the time at the bottom right, wondering if it took a little longer to make coffee.

"My cousin is getting married!" Lance announced cheerfully as soon as the door opened. "She invited us to her wedding."

"Wait a minute, us?"

"Of course," Lance looked at him in bewilderment, "I told her I had a boyfriend."

The wedding, of course, all the family and friends and the priest, which meant he was going to meet the parents soon.Ye Qun became nervous uncontrollably, he had never been this far with anyone, and he was more worried about the reaction of Lance's family.

"The rest of your family..." Ye Qun said tactfully, "Elders, do you know that the one you brought back will be a boyfriend?"

"I told them." Lance sat down beside him and put his arms around him comfortingly. "Don't worry, they're absolutely reasonable. It's my personal freedom."

"Are you sure?" Ye Qun asked suspiciously, even if the acceptance of homosexuality in foreign countries is still not high, especially for old people like Lance's grandparents, he doesn't think they are much more tolerant than domestic ones, and sometimes they say it out It is different from actual action.

And it's only a year, isn't it too short?

"I'm sure, I showed them your picture." Lance reassured him gently.

"Did you show them my photo?" Ye Qun asked with a strange expression, which made him realize how high Lance's expectations were for taking him back to meet his family, and he couldn't just use any excuses to get rid of it.But he wasn't ready, not at all.

"Yes," Lance said patiently, "my grandmother said you were handsome."

Ye Qun really couldn't think of any excuses: "What would the farm do without us?"

"We can hire temporary workers, there are a lot of people in town who are idle this season."

Speaking of this, Ye Qun knew he had to go.Before he set off, he made careful preparations to make sure that at least he didn't look so bad on the outside.But after more than ten hours of long plane and bumpy cars, it was all ruined.

Ye Qun panicked even more. He even considered the chance of Lance breaking up with him if he fled.

"I want to go to the bathroom." After arriving at the airport, Ye Qun smiled.

Lance stood up immediately: "I'll accompany you."

"No, you'd better stay here and look at the luggage."

"With all due respect, baby," Lance said mildly, "you're looking a bit like you're getting cold feet right now."

Ye Qun: "..."

Lance's cousin Alice lives in London, but the wedding venue was set in Surrey, where Lance's grandparents lived. After they got off the plane, they drove directly to their destination.

Ye Qun sat in the speeding car, watched the scenery outside the window flash by, and suddenly thought of an important question: "Have we booked a hotel?" He was about to take out his mobile phone.

"Oh dear," Lance stopped him, "I was going to book it, but grandma said the house was big, and she insisted that the family shouldn't live in the hotel."

Ye Qun: "..."

After Lance drove the car into a manor, Ye Qun just wanted to punch him hard, and he said blankly, "You didn't tell me your grandparents lived in the castle."

"It's not important...it's just a building." Lance looked away guiltily.

It's just that when Ye Qun heard the old servant waiting at the door call out the word "Young Master", he began to regret it. If he could use Google to search for the last name of Lance's grandfather, he would immediately know what Lance said. It's nonsense.

"Lancey, my little Lanxie, I'm so glad to see you!" They had just entered this luxurious house when an old lady with a shawl and silver-white hair combed meticulously greeted her with open arms. Lance hugged her happily for a while, and she smiled and hugged Ye Qun again: "Welcome!"

"My honor, Mrs. Banks." Ye Qun said in his most polite tone, and then he spent a long time getting to know all of Lance's family members at the stag party on the roof. This is really a big family , Lance's three aunts, one uncle, and seven or eight cousins ​​and their partners, adding up to nearly thirty people.

Ye Qun pulled Lance into the compartment where the drinks were prepared, grabbed him by the collar and questioned, "You never told me that your grandparent's family was aristocratic!"

"Oh, we are not." Lance's grandmother's voice sounded behind her, Ye Qun turned her head stiffly, she relaxed and stroked the emerald ring on her hand, "I didn't follow you, I just happened to pass by and heard it. Don't Nervous baby, the Banks family has not had a title of nobility since the last generation."

"I said long ago that we should move, and the juniors are unwilling to come back to stay with us two lonely old people for a period of time." Mrs. Banks complained, and then looked at them expectantly, "Lancey, you last year I haven't come back for Christmas, will I stay for a while this year?"

Lance's eyes drifted to Ye Qun, and Mrs. Banks held his hand lovingly and begged, "Oh, please, stay for a while."

Ye Qun could only agree with a smile.

The wedding was held the next day, and it was undoubtedly the grandest wedding Ye Qun had ever seen.The vast green lawn of Westanley Manor was filled with long white tables, and hangings and gauze curtains were erected everywhere. Alice's wedding dress required twelve flower girls to hold it up.This is the second wedding that Ye Qun and Lance attended together. Sometimes things are like a reincarnation. They are not the same, but they are extremely similar.

For example, the bouquet fell into Ye Qun's hands again.

Amid the congratulations from everyone, Alice turned her head and winked at him slyly, and Ye Qun immediately understood that she did it on purpose.Sure enough, on the second day after the wedding, most of the juniors went home one after another. Only Ye Qun and Lance stayed at the dining table that looked very old because they promised Mrs. Banks After breakfast, Mrs. Banks gracefully ended the previous topic and asked, "So, when are you going to get married?"

Ye Qun dropped a cherry on the dinner plate in a disrespectful manner.Not only him, but Banks in the chief seat coughed majestically, and Lance choked on the black tea he just drank, and his coughing caused the old butler to look at him reproachfully.After a long silence, Lance said dryly, "Grandma..."

"You young people are always like this." Mrs. Banks said dissatisfiedly, "Don't use excuses to perfuse me while you are young and not sure. We read the news that same-sex marriage in the United States has been legalized."

"Not all states..."

"Aphne..." Mr. Banks adjusted his glasses and said helplessly, "Let young people decide for themselves, okay?"

Mrs. Bankes gave him a stare and said nothing further, but when he passed the conservatory in the afternoon he heard Mrs. Bankes say:

"I'm just worried for them. They obviously love each other very much. Didn't you notice the way they looked at each other..."

Ye Qun turned around and said to Lance, "You, now, stay away from me."

Lance was extremely wronged: "What did I do wrong?"

They drink afternoon tea together every afternoon. Mrs. Banks is old, but still elegant, and actually a very kind and easy-going person.When Lance told her about the trivial things on the farm, she didn't show any impatience. She just looked at Ye Qun lovingly and said, "Lance has been very shy since she was a child, and she didn't like to talk. After you came, he talked more. gone."

Mr. Banks was very dissatisfied: "If you want me to say, you should come back to England and run some kind of rooster farm in the United States? This is too disgraceful." He accused rather sharply, "Your father is really unreasonable, Margaret When Te was alive, he often didn't come home, and took you to the United States without my consent, I can't believe he let you finish middle school next to a farm!"
