Chapter 78 Planning to buy land
Two more.

Kawenka is going to die, depressed...

========================
When Xiucai opened the door, he was taken aback when he saw the big brother who looked like a tabby cat with his face scratched, but after thinking about it, he understood what was going on: "Why, sister-in-law is having trouble with you again?"

When Xiucai mentioned Mrs. Zhang, Wang Liang's face was slightly embarrassed. After a pause, he said dryly: "That Xiaohua and her eldest brother and sister-in-law have gone back, and I told them that we don't want the five taels of silver... "As he spoke, he glanced at Xiucai with some hesitation, "The money...you don't blame the eldest brother for making decisions without authorization, do you?" It's a little bad to say no.

When Xiucai heard the elder brother mentioning the money, he was taken aback for a moment, and then realized that he was talking about the five taels of silver as the bride price, so he couldn't help but smiled wryly, waved his hands and said, "If you don't want it, then don't, it's right to spend money to eliminate disasters. "

When Wang Liang heard Xiucai say this, he began to be silent, but finally sighed softly, and there was endless helplessness in his voice.He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Wang Yuanyue who ran out from the pot house to ask the scholar to eat: "Father, mother told you to go back to eat." After finishing speaking, he saw that his father was still standing in front of him. Uncle, so he quickly and obediently called Uncle, and after he finished calling, he began to grab Dad's hand, urging in a voice that couldn't wait, "Father, go and eat quickly, the stewed tofu with fish head cooked by Mother is delicious!" Actually He is greedy, just smelling the taste of the dishes cooked by my mother makes people's index fingers move, let alone actually eating them in their mouths.Thinking of the boiled milky white fish soup, Wang Yuanyue's mouth watered, wishing he could eat it all at once.

Wang Liang felt a little uncomfortable at the moment, as soon as the younger brother came home, he would have hot food to eat, the children were also very well-behaved, and the whole family was harmonious and happy.But looking at his house again, there is no sign of a lunch so far, so that's fine, Mrs. Zhang still has to fight with him, and the elder sister's family is not worried, and if something happens, they just hide and watch the fun...

The more Wang Liang thought about it, the more sour he felt, and he felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors, full of ups and downs, so he became more silent.

Seeing that the elder brother's expression was a bit depressed, Xiucai could guess some of it in his heart, and felt a little uncomfortable, but everyone has their own life to live, no matter how bad Mrs. Zhang is, she is still his sister-in-law, and she can't say anything, so she said Called Wang Liang in a low voice: "Brother?"

Wang Liang came back to his senses, responded with some dullness, and then said: "You don't have to blame me for Xiaohua's matter, then I'll go back first."

Originally, Xiucai wanted Wang Liang to stay for lunch, but when he thought that the eldest sister's family was also here, he hesitated for a while and did not ask to stay.It's not that he's stingy, it's just that a bowl of wild vegetables was enough to get into an argument last time, but this time it's fish soup, so maybe something will happen, not to mention that if Lin Guoxiang knew that he was enthusiastic, he would probably have to treat him I rolled my eyes.When he came back, Lin Guoxiang had already warned him that if he was so enthusiastic and stopped cooking without her consent, the threat was quite ruthless, and a person who had eaten delicious food suddenly went to eat himself. The burnt clear soup is somewhat unacceptable.

Seeing that the scholar was about to send him off, Wang Liang waved his hand quickly and said, "You can go back to eat, and you don't need to send me off."

The scholar didn't listen, and after all, he sent the elder brother to the door, and watched him enter the door of his house before turning around and sighing secretly.

Wang Yuan was anxious to wait a long time ago. Seeing his father stepping in the door, he hurried over and quickly closed the door and bolted it. Then he pulled the scholar's hand and urged: "Father, let's go eat quickly, or else The soup is getting cold, and my mother said that the soup tastes better when it’s hot.”

Seeing his son's anxious look, Xiucai couldn't help but reached out and gave him a chestnut on the forehead: "What a greedy cat!"

Wang Yuanyue covered his head and pouted, then went to grab his father's sleeve and urged him: "Father, hurry up..."

Xiucai: "Okay, I got it, don't drag me, I'll hurry up, look, make this little greedy cat greedy."

Hearing his father's voice, Wang Yuanzhi quickly scooped up a basin of water for him to wash his hands, while Lin Guoxiang asked him curiously, "What did the elder brother say?"

After washing his hands, Xiucai took the clean cloth towel handed over by his son and wiped it, then said slowly: "Brother is here to tell us that Brother Xiaohua and sister-in-law have been sent back. As for the five taels of silver, he decides not to ask for it."

Lin Guoxiang let out an "oh". The result was both expected and unexpected. She didn't expect Xiaohua's big brother and sister-in-law to be paid for only five taels of silver. What the hell.But it's better than anything else that the matter can be resolved so smoothly, at least it won't bother her anymore.

Xiucai carefully observed Lin Guoxiang's expression, and was relieved to see that there was no displeasure on her face, but she was afraid that she still had a lump in her heart, so she wanted to explain but was interrupted by her: " Now that the matter has been resolved, it would be great, well, don't talk about those bad things, let's eat."

The latter sentence of Lin Guoxiang's eating was simply a fairy tale to the two children. They each picked up a chopstick dish for Xiucai and Lin Guoxiang, and then couldn't wait to scoop up the soup with their spoons.

Xiucai also felt that talking about these things during meals would affect his appetite, so he kept silent.

After finishing lunch, the two children ran away. Lin Guoxiang stopped Xiucai who was going to the school to teach the children: "I want to discuss something with you."

Xiucai stopped and turned back and sat down at the table again, waiting for Lin Guoxiang to continue talking.

"I want to buy a sloping land to plant fruit trees." Lin Guoxiang said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time, and I think that if I keep the [-] yuan at home, it will be empty sooner or later. Why don't I just buy a sloping land and plant some fruit trees? There is a gain."

"Of course, it would be better if there is a ready-made orchard." Lin Guoxiang paused and continued, "When I was not here before, the village planted a lot of fruit trees because the government asked everyone to get rid of poverty by planting them. I have learned some knowledge about planting fruit trees from the agricultural experts sent from above, and if I understand a little, I should not kill the fruit trees."

The scholar pondered for a while after hearing this, and then said: "There is no suitable land here in Wangjia Village..."

"I don't plan to buy land near Wang's Village." Lin Guoxiang interrupted him, "I want my father to inquire about it, so I will buy it in Lin's Village. After all, there are more fruit trees growing there, and..." After a pause, Lin Guoxiang glanced at Xiucai and was hesitant to say the following, but Xiucai couldn't guess what she was thinking, so she smiled wryly and finished the sentence for her, "Are you afraid that my mother and the others will Make trouble?"

Lin Guoxiang coughed a little embarrassingly, thinking: After all, they are a family, you really know them well.

Xiucai sighed inwardly, it can't be blamed for Lin Guoxiang thinking like this, if it were him, he would probably be so wary of the elder sister and the others.

Smiling wryly in his heart, Xiucai said: "Since it's like this, it's not bad to ask our father to help inquire about buying a piece of land there, so that he can take care of it for us at ordinary times."

"I think so too." Lin Guoxiang automatically filtered out the "we" in Xiucai's mouth, and said excitedly, "Slope land is cheap and there are few people buying it, so you don't have to worry about running out of land to buy. I've made up my mind, You don’t need to buy too much, just like your parents’ house, you can buy one or two hundred acres, and if you buy too much, you can’t afford it, and you have to spend money to hire workers to work, and the wages can’t be afforded.”

"Well, if that's the case, let's talk to our father another day and ask him to help find out." Xiucai nodded and said, then looked up and saw Lin Guoxiang's radiant face, and his eyes flickered. He had never seen it before. She had such a dazzling look before, even though she knew that her inner soul had changed, she still had a feeling of amazement in her heart, even he himself didn't understand why he had such a thought.

At this moment, Lin Guoxiang was still engrossed in her imagination of the beautiful life of the little landlady, completely oblivious to the subtle changes on Xiucai's face, and she was still thinking about it with her fingers: "When the time comes, I will be in that field." Plant apple trees, pear trees, orange trees, and cherry trees. Although I don’t like cherries, I heard that the ancient cherries are very good for sale, and it’s good to sell them for money.”

The scholar looked at the excited and somewhat childish Lin Guoxiang and raised his mouth slightly, as if to remind him: "There are also peach trees, you can enjoy the scenery in spring and eat the fruit in summer."

Lin Guoxiang frowned when she heard Xiucai's proposal, waved her hand and said, "No, I hate peaches, and peach trees are most likely to attract caterpillars in summer, and you can't buy pesticides here, in case someone enters the orchard What should I do if I get stabbed at some point? No, no, absolutely no peach trees."

"Instead of planting peach trees, we can plant plum trees, and the taste of plums is quite good." Scholar said with the corner of his mouth curled up.

"Plum trees..." Lin Guoxiang thought for a while, and finally vetoed, "Planting apricot trees is more cost-effective. Even if the fruit can't be sold, you can take out the almonds inside and sell them. It's also very convenient to eat by yourself. good."

Xiucai looked at Lin Guoxiang who was still counting with his fingers, and couldn't help but chuckled, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

When Lin Guoxiang heard the scholar's chuckle, she realized that she had lost herself in her beautiful imagination. She couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and she was even more annoyed. How could she forget this guy here? Sure enough, she couldn't Fantasies, once fantasized, immediately forget the shape.

Xiucai pretended not to see Lin Guoxiang's embarrassment, and said: "However, we have to wait until we actually buy the land to see what kind of fruit trees the soil quality of the land is suitable for. It also depends on the year. You can’t plant those that bear fruit late, at least you have to plant less.”

"I know that." Lin Guoxiang said, "So you agreed to buy the land from my father?"

"Yeah." Xiucai glanced at Lin Guoxiang, "As long as you're happy, I don't care."

No matter how you hear these words, you feel ambiguous, but Lin Guoxiang has been used to thick lines since she was a child, and her ears automatically filter out the ambiguous elements in these words.

Seeing that there was not much expression on her face, Xiucai couldn't help but a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
