Hearing a sound in the middle of the night, the drowsy Lin He woke up instantly, just in time to see a figure hovering at the door.

"Who's out there!"

The hand has already touched the stool beside the bed, which she put here specially before going to bed.

A soft sigh came from outside the door, but Lin He's eyes lit up instantly.

I hurriedly got out of bed to open the door, the voice was too familiar.

"Brother Hui? Why are you back now?"

"Thinking that the city gate will not be closed these few nights, so after returning in the afternoon, I will come back after explaining clearly to Chang Sheng and Chang Qiang."

After Li Changhui explained, Lin He had already opened the door, and a gust of cold wind hit him, making him shiver involuntarily.

Li Changhui's face tightened, and he quickly pulled Lin He's wrist: "Why don't you put on any clothes, go back and lie down first, I asked Xiao Er to boil hot water, and it will be delivered in a while."

While speaking, Lin He had already been stuffed into the quilt again, and the corners of the quilt were tucked up specially to prevent the cool wind from blowing into the quilt.

Li Changhui's body was very cold, and Lin He didn't realize it until he was lying in bed.

Just now Li Changhui was holding her wrist, and it was through the clothes, and I can still feel a chill even now, right where Li Changhui touched it.

Fortunately, at this time, hot water was also brought up, Lin He quickly asked Xiao Er to cook another bowl of hot noodles and bring it up.

In the middle of the night, after riding a horse for so long, I must be hungry, and the hot noodles can also warm my body.

Li Changhui took the hot water and sat at the table to soak his feet. By the way, he told Lin He the explanation to Li Changsheng and Li Changqiang.

Regarding whether to take over the Malatang shop, Li Changsheng agreed almost without hesitation. The transfer of the shop is 20 taels, and the rent is [-] taels a year. It can be said that it is half sold and half given away.

Of course Li Changsheng clearly understood this point. He has been in the town for so many years, so of course he knows that the original price is at least twice this.

And after taking over the Malatang shop, he can move to the town with his wife and children.

The first child of Li Changsheng and Xiuling is already three years old, a son, and the second is a girl, born in the twelfth lunar month last year, just one month old.

The number of uncle's family is increasing, and there are not enough houses to live in. No, Li Changsheng's family has moved out, so the family can feel more relaxed.

However, because Li Changhui left in a hurry, after going back and explaining clearly, he asked Li Changsheng to cook a large bowl of Malatang and vermicelli, and after eating, he returned to Nanzhi County with another horse.

So I took over the money from the store, and when someone gave me the vines in a few days, then Li Changqiang sent them over.

Regarding the arrangement of the farm, it is also convenient.

Li Changqiang still helps to take care of it. After all, Yonghe Town, Township, and An Village add up to nearly [-] acres of land, and there are so many chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

After all the grapes are transplanted outside Nanzhi County, the vacated land will continue to grow food.

But now, there is no need to keep too much of the food at home, but after paying the food tax every year, the excess will be sold.

Of course, before that, it was still necessary to provide the county with enough food for Li Changhui and his family of five to last two years.

And the granary outside the town where grain was stored is no longer needed. Li Changhui allowed Li Changqiang to live in the town with his wife and children as a benefit to Li Changqiang as the manager.

If there is no accident, they probably won't go back to Yonghe Town to settle down again, but they may go back a few times a year to see the farm and check the books. As for the future, let's talk about it.

Li Changhui was talking to Lin He about the arrangements at home. Although they discussed it during the day, it didn't prevent him from talking about it again.

After soaking the feet, the hot noodles were also brought, and Xiao Er brought the foot bath water along the way.

"By the way, Xiaohe, I will go back every month in the future. When the things in the warehouse are removed, the yard can be sold."

Real estate in remote towns is of little use.

As for what he was talking about, it was naturally the wine hidden behind the house, which filled the entire room.

"Okay, speaking of it, it's time to change the place. There is a lot of rain in Nanzhi County, so we can't dig a cellar. All the wine must be kept at home. The biggest advantage of the new house now is that it is big enough and has a lot of empty rooms."

Li Changhui nodded while scratching his face. This year is not sure, but next year there will definitely be more wine. At that time, more space will be needed for storage.

But as far as the current situation is concerned, there are already ten acres of vineyards in Nanzhi County, and the transplanted ones from Yonghe Town will be another ten acres.

A total of twenty acres, when the grapes mature, a large number of grapes will ripen every day, but only they know how to make wine.

will be more tiring.

Li Changhui is very clear about this.

Since two years ago, they have given up pinching by hand, but directly cleaned the returned grapes, dried them, picked them and put them in a large tank, smashed them directly with a mallet, and added sugar to ferment.

This can be much easier. After all, pinching grapes one by one takes a long time, and if you pinch too much, your fingers will cramp.

Fortunately, the three children can also help a lot now. Based on the current output, their family should still be busy.

Just one thing, planting so many grapes outside the county will definitely attract attention.

It was because the grape seedlings hadn't yet produced fruit. When those in Yonghe Town are transplanted and harvested in autumn, many people will be curious and guess what these grapes are for.

In terms of confidentiality, we still have to think of a way.

One of them was lying on the bed, and the other was eating noodles at the table. Their voices were not loud, but it was quiet enough to hear each other at night.

On the street outside, there was the sound of knocking on the watch. It was the third watch, and it would be dawn soon.

Lin He also started yawning again: "At that time, we will make more grape jams by the way. We will say that they sell jams, and the wine sold is not called wine. No one will know."

"That's not bad."

Lin He slapped another debt and shrank under the quilt: "Don't think about that, there are still at least nine months, it's very early, eat and go to bed soon, or you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Li Changhui poured a glass of water, it was cold, but it was okay to sip, he didn't bother to ask Xiaoer to bring hot water, so he directly wetted the handkerchief with herbal tea, wiped the dust from his face, and then he was about to undress and go to bed.

The idea before going to bed suddenly popped into Lin He's mind, and his eyes wandered around someone involuntarily.

When I realized what I was doing, I quickly spurned myself a few times in my heart.

To put it more bluntly, they are the kind of husband and wife who have an agreement, and there are no accidents, and they will not divorce.

Remember the agreement here, can the other party be called?
He noticed that Lin He shrank into the quilt again, and his expression was slightly strange.

"what happened?"

"No, nothing."

The small gesture of shaking his head repeatedly, as if he was frightened, made Li Changhui even more curious.

There must be something, but the little cook is unwilling to say.
