his dragon [farming]

Chapter 4 Bai Chuan

Early the next morning, Qiuhe was awakened by the noise in the bamboo forest.

It seemed to be raining in a sudden burst, and the bamboo leaves were crackling, mixed with countless birdsong.And the morning light coming in through the window showed that it was a sunny day.

The thoughts of last night were diluted a lot by this bright morning.Qiu He stretched out under the thin quilt, thinking that the weather is quite suitable, he didn't even turn on the fan all night, if he was in the city, he would have to turn on the air conditioner all night to fall asleep.

After Qiuhe got up slowly and finished washing his face, he found that the newly bought washing machine had been taken out of the cardboard box and placed under the eaves of the west wing, and the water inlet pipe had been connected.It turned out that my grandfather was busy most of the night last night, and it was actually to install the washing machine.

In the kitchen, Shen Baocheng had already made breakfast. On the table were fried vegetables, hot steamed buns, and pumpkin porridge exuding a sweet aroma.

After the father and son had finished eating, Qiuhe behaved positively, rushing to wash the dishes.Shen Baocheng sat at the table, took out a cigarette, looked at Qiuhe's back, and just held it to the tip of his nose to smell it.

Seeing that the plate of vegetables, Qiu He, hadn't been touched from the beginning to the end, he couldn't help but think, hard work is hard work, but it's delicate and tricky, so it's hard to raise.

"I'm going to Yuntai. I have to come back at night. You can eat by yourself at noon." Shen Baocheng said.

Qiu He: "What are you doing?"

Shen Baocheng finally put the cigarette back and said, "Go and see the mountains. I have leftovers at noon, and I will cook vegetables when I come back in the evening."

After speaking, he picked up a woven bag, put a few green onions and a handful of green peppers in it, picked it up with a long stick, carried it on his shoulder and went out the door.After taking two steps, he turned around and told, "Don't run around."

"Hey!" Qiuhe agreed, thinking to himself, I want to run around, there are mountains when I go out, where can I run?

Shen Baocheng had already walked far up the mountain along the road in front of the door.

The clothes I changed yesterday have been washed and hung on the wire outside the house.Qiuhe finished washing the dishes, took the medicine, found a broom again, and swept the house once, sweating a lot.After doing this, he wandered around in and out twice like a wandering soul without an owner, thinking to himself, what a bore!bored to death!

He decided to go to the town to have a look.It would be great if there is a shop that sells solar water heaters.

Qiu He locked the door and went out. When he passed a vegetable field next to his house, he saw a person in the garlic bushes, who was weeding the field with his head down.The stature is too long, even when squatting, it can be seen that it is very big.Who is not Bai Chuan?

As soon as Qiu He saw him, he felt awkward. Thinking of someone jumping out of a window if he didn't go astray, he felt that he had nothing to say to this kind of alien.

When Bai Chuan heard the footsteps, he also raised his head. The two looked at each other and turned their heads quickly.

"Hmph!" Qiu He walked straight past him and walked towards the town.

Unexpectedly, Bai Chuan uttered behind him, "Hello!"

Qiu He turned her head and asked angrily, "What are you doing?"

Bai Chuan stood up, looked down at a handful of garlic sprouts in his hand, and said, "It's foggy."

Qiuhe looked at the sky, the sky was clear and blue as clear as a wash.Where is the fog?Where does it look like the weather is going to be foggy?

This guy isn't kidding himself, is he?

But Qiu He was so impressed by the heavy fog yesterday that he hesitated after all.Perhaps only the local indigenous people will understand the weird weather here.He wasn't familiar with this town at first, and it would be troublesome if he got lost in the fog—not to mention, there were bears on the mountains around the town!

Just when he was hesitating, wisps of white mist flowed out from the woods in the south, and soon, a large piece of white mist surged from south to north like a sea tide, and in a short while, the surrounding area was covered in a sheet of white water. I'm angry.

Qiu He immediately turned her head and walked towards the blurred house, thinking, fortunately, she hadn't gone far.

After half an hour, the fog finally cleared.Qiu He re-locked the door and walked out.When passing the vegetable field, he glanced into the empty garlic field and thought, well, this person is not that annoying.At least remember to remind him.

Qiuhe walked slowly along the road to the town.There was no more fog and his vision was clearer. Only then did he discover that there was a river at the foot of the mountain beside the road, passing through the open rice fields and flowing through Liangshi Town.

Liangshi Town used to be a town, but later the town's institutions merged with other towns and moved to another town, so there are only hundreds of original residents left here, living on both sides of a road by mountains and rivers.There are many distribution stores selling agricultural materials on the side of the road.There are some clothing stores and barber shops in the middle.Along the way, Qiuhe also saw an Internet cafe, which was dark and empty, and looked very depressed.

Qiuhe quickly walked to the supermarket at Qiaotou, and saw several old ladies sitting under a tree at the door, chatting and choosing leeks.

The female owner of the supermarket was also outside the door. She saw Qiu He from afar and shouted at him: "Qiu He, come and sit here for a while."

Qiu He ran over and greeted the female boss: "Ms. Hua."

An old woman sitting next to her raised her head and asked, "Jin Hua, which family's child is this?"

It turned out that Empress Hua's name was Zhang Jinhua. She took Qiuhe affectionately and introduced to everyone: "You don't know yet, do you? This is Uncle Baocheng's grandson Qiuhe. He just came from a big city yesterday."

She emphasized the three words "big city".These words immediately caused a strong reaction among the mothers-in-laws who were chatting, and several of them stood up, pulling Qiuhe to ask questions.

Liangshi Town is too small, and the local residents are all relatives. If anyone is mentioned casually, they may be relatives who are oblique.Speaking of which, the old people here are all Qiu He's elders.A group of old aunts and mothers-in-law praised and praised this well-behaved, quiet and good-looking boy doll.

"Our Qiuhe looks better than that child from the Lin family!" a mother-in-law concluded.

The other disagreed, "Why are boys so good-looking? The most important thing is to be sensible! Our Qiuhe is very benevolent at first glance, unlike that child of the Lin family, who sees you like an enemy!"

Another mother-in-law smiled and said, "Qiuhe, I nursed your mother when I was a child. Your grandma didn't have enough milk, and your mother ate it from me for three months!" She proudly stretched out her trembling lips. With three fingers, he sighed again: "In a flash, the pomegranate hasn't come back for almost 20 years, hurry up!"

The other immediately blinked his dim old eyes and stared at Qiu He, "Is your mother okay now? Where's your father? Why didn't you come back to see your grandfather together this time?"

Qiuhe was very uncomfortable being seen, he didn't want to talk about his own affairs, so he just smiled at them.

The mother-in-law who spoke first said, "Your mother too! No matter how angry you are with your own father, how can you hate her forever? When she comes back, I will talk about her!"

Qiu He had nothing to do with these gossiping old ladies, but in the end it was Hua Niangniang who rescued him, and said, "That's all, Aunt Shi, don't mention those ancient things in front of the children."

Hua Niangniang took him to the yard behind the supermarket, moved a small bamboo chair for him to sit on, and she sat beside her and washed the clothes, then asked him, "Where's your grandfather? Did you go to Yuntai?"

Qiu He nodded, and asked by the way: "Why is Grandpa going to Yuntai?"

"It's patrolling the mountains. Your grandfather is watching over the thousands of acres of forest in our back mountain."

Only then did Qiu He know that his grandfather was a forest ranger.According to what Hua Niangniang said, when she was not married, this was a forest farm, and Shen Baocheng was there as a forest ranger at that time.More than ten years ago, a family surnamed Lin came over and bought all the thousands of acres of forest in the back mountain of Liangshi Town, and Shen Baocheng continued to protect the forest for this family.

There is a watchtower at the top of the mountain called Yuntai. Shen Baocheng spends most of autumn and winter on it every year to prevent wildfires and people who steal trees and poachers. Although it is summer, Shen Baocheng still goes to the cloud every few days. Taiwan to see.

Qiu He asked: "So, my grandfather is helping the Lin family look at the mountains now?"

Hua Niangniang nodded, "Isn't it? It stands to reason that the Lin family is paying your grandfather's wages now. But I think it's too much. ——Bai Chuan is a child, and he can't take care of himself. Where else can he get money for your grandfather?"

Qiu He blinked, "What does it have to do with Bai Chuan?"

"Bai Chuan's grandfather is called Lin Zuchang, and he bought this mountain back then. He bought it and left, and entrusted your grandfather to take care of it here. Five or six years ago, Lu Laosi, who lived next door to your grandfather, wanted to move to the county. It was sold to the Lin family, and Bai Chuan lived there afterwards. ——Do you think it has anything to do with it?"

Only then did Qiu He know that Bai Chuan's original surname was Lin, and he asked in surprise, "Isn't he a local? Lives there alone?"

"No, it's very pitiful, and I don't know if my parents are still there. The Lin family is considered rich, right? It cost several million to buy this mountain land more than ten years ago. But so what if you are rich? No one cared about throwing a child in the mountains like this. Bai Chuan went in and out alone, and never saw anyone come to see him. What a crime! I guess he didn’t have much money in his hands! Look, this mountain bought a dozen It’s been a year, and I’ve been living here without doing anything. ——But it’s convenient for us, go to the mountains to collect firewood, kill two rabbits, and your grandfather and Bai Chuan won’t say anything.”

Qiu He immediately imagined the infighting among wealthy families, and deduced that Bai Chuan was probably the illegitimate child who was kicked out by the big family.

No wonder he has such a weird temper!No matter who has experienced this kind of experience, their personality will become more extreme!

Qiu He thought, since he took the initiative to remind him of the weather this morning, he would not bother with Bai Chuan about what happened yesterday.However, when you go back, you must make it clear to him that it is wrong to casually climb the windows of other people's houses!

Thinking of the window, Qiu He finally remembered the purpose of the trip, and asked Hua Niangniang if there was a shop selling water heaters in the town.

Qiu Niangniang shook her head, "Our small place can see from the beginning to the end of the town at a glance. Where can we find a store that sells such high-end things? If you want to install a water heater, when our family Shi Laoliu buys goods from the city, ask him to give it to you." You bring one back!"

Qiuhe was overjoyed, and the two agreed that when Hua Niangniang's husband Shi Laoliu came home in the evening, he would ask him to buy it.Before leaving, Hua Niangniang took out another bag of pine nuts, saying that she picked them herself, and the children were all away from home, so they couldn't finish eating, so the dead pistons were given to Qiu He.

Qiuhe lived back and walked while knocking pine nuts.

On the way, Qiuhe met a few old people, all of them smiled at him with wrinkled faces, and called him by his name affectionately, asking him to "come to play at home". Qiuhe couldn't recognize who was who, but he was very good at If you pretend to be good, you will always smile and say hello.

When approaching the Pulang fruit tree, Qiu He found that there were actually two cars parked under the tree, and they were a BMW and a Buick.This is quite rare in the small town. When passing by, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Just as Qiuhe was walking up the slope along the path, a few people came down from above.

Those few men could tell by their clothes that they were not residents of the small town.The younger one walking in the middle was wearing an Armani, and for some reason, his face was livid.Two middle-aged men next to him were explaining something humbly.A fat man in the back said in a loud voice: "Mr. Liu, don't worry, this matter will not escape, and it will be on us!"

Another floral shirt interfaced very arrogantly: "Damn it! If it's not soft, let's get tough. A little bastard is afraid that he can't handle him?"

This group of people walked and talked, and when they passed by Qiuhe, they all looked at him in surprise.Qiu He is wearing a loose cotton T-shirt and cropped pants, clean sneakers, and a sports watch on his wrist. He is a beautiful and fashionable young man, and he is not a local kid at a glance, walking in this closed path , is bound to be surprising.

When he was about to get in the car, he saw Qiu He secretly looking at them. A guy with a gold chain around his neck stretched out his middle finger from the car window and said something, which caused a burst of laughter in the car.After that, the two cars stepped on the accelerator and roared away.

Qiu He quickly looked away, thinking angrily, damn it!I don't know where a bunch of hooligans came from!

After arriving home, Qiuhe saw the computer and remembered that she forgot to ask about installing broadband.He decided to go to the next door to ask Lin Baichuan about the situation, and ease the relationship between the two by the way.He didn't see any young people in the town these two days, and he probably went out to work.It's not easy to have a peer living next door, so let's try to get along well.

Qiu He dug out a few packs of potato chips and dried fish from the room, and went to the next door, only to see the door closed, and wondered if Bai Chuan was at home.

He patted on the door twice, and was about to speak when he heard an angry shout from inside: "Go away! Don't bother me!"

Qiu He was dumbfounded for a moment, and his face turned red with anger.

He turned and walked home.Damn guy!How did this kind of person live so long in the world?He deserved to be driven into the mountains to suffer!You don't deserve sympathy at all!

As soon as Qiu He stepped down the steps, the door behind him was opened vigorously. Lin Baichuan stood in the door furiously, and was obviously taken aback when he saw it was Qiu He.

Qiu He turned her head angrily and glared at Bai Chuan.

Under Qiu He's menacing gaze, Bai Chuan opened his mouth, unable to utter a word.The two stared at each other for a moment, Qiu He turned around proudly, and went home angrily.

He said to himself, never talk to that bad guy again!Young master, if I talk to you again, I will follow your surname!
