Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 486 Goal
The days that followed were indeed rather obscure.

The county magistrate obviously still didn't believe Guan Wen's words, and there were often strange faces wandering around the Guan family.

Guan Wen became more and more silent, he didn't go out, he stayed on the slope every day, and he didn't even go to the stone field.

On the second day after his return, Li Xin invited a doctor to show him his leg, saying that there was nothing serious about it, but he needed to rest and recuperate, after all, he "fell down".Guan Wen obediently lay on the bed for a whole day.

The next day, he limped to fetch water and took a brush to brush the horse's fur.

This horse was the means of transportation that Xue Qian left for him on the way. It was too late that day, and Li Xin didn't see it clearly.This is a tall and strong maroon horse with clear eyes, very young, and has a docile personality. It didn't neigh manically just because it was in an unfamiliar environment.

Li Xin temporarily placed it in the bamboo forest, and was a little worried about how to deal with this "new customer".

Guan Wen still seldom speaks.

Although Yang'er was happy that Guan Wen could stay at home so that he could see him anytime and anywhere, Yang'er also noticed Guan Wen's strange silence.

Yang'er asked Li Xin: "What's wrong with Dad? Why didn't you talk?"

Li Xin could only say softly: "Dad is very tired recently, it would be great if Yang'er could make Dad happy."

Yang'er took Xiaokang to tell Guan Wen a joke.

Guan Wen just smiled cooperatively, but there was some unspeakable astringency in his smile.

Li Xin saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

She remembered what Guan Wen said that night. Perhaps it was because of the long-term depression that reached a certain amount, but what happened that day became the last straw that broke the camel's back. Guan Wen's mentality changed. Earth-shaking changes.

In the past, he never said how rich and powerful his family should be. Li Xin always felt that Guan Wen was a person who knew how to be content.If he hadn't been burdened with the burden of his family since he was a child, I'm afraid he wouldn't have left farming to go to the town to become a bodyguard.

He has no ambitions, he is even almost conservative.He is satisfied if he can eat well, dress warmly, and his family is safe and beautiful.

It's just that Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng didn't give him a chance to live with such a willingness.Even she...maybe putting pressure on Guan Wen.

What he said that night was very clear.It will take him 20 years to find a way out.

Sitting in the main room, Li Xin stared blankly at Guan Wen who was scratching bamboo on the right outside the threshold.

He moves deftly, looks intently, and does not utter a word as he works.Li Xin could see his sweat flowing from his temple hair, flowing down his neck into his collar, and the front was already wet.

Li Xin also felt that the weather was unbearably hot when the tiger was raging in autumn.

She stretched out her hand to fan the air, took a sip of herbal tea, filled another bowl, walked towards Guan Wen, and said, "Awen, drink some water."

Guan Wen raised his head and smiled at her, took the sea bowl in her hand, drank it down, handed it back to her, and continued to work.

Li Xin couldn't help sighing.

Before she could react, she had already grabbed Guan Wen's wrist, and was almost cut by the knife in his hand.

"Ah Wen." Li Xin looked at him and said, "Don't be like this...I'm very worried about you."

The worry in her eyes was undisguised, Guan Wen carefully took the knife with the other hand and put it on the ground, slowly raised his head to look at Li Xin.

"Don't worry about me." He said, "I'm fine. There's never been a moment like this where I can think about countless problems."

"Awen..."

"Even though I'm doing my work, my mind is still thinking." Guan Wending looked at Li Xin firmly: "I should also thank the magistrates of the county, they let me see myself clearly, so I am not content to Mediocre."

"Even if you live in this place for a lifetime, it's not mediocrity!"

Li Xin was a little startled, she grabbed Guan Wen's wrist with both hands, forcing him to look at her: "You can't get ahead because of two or three words from other people..."

"It's not like that, Xin'er." Guan Wen said to Li Xin calmly, "Of course I won't become a completely different person just because of these two or three words from the magistrate. I haven't changed, I just saw clearly Just me."

He stood up slowly, gently took Li Xin's hand, and the two walked to the middle of the yard.

Guan Wen first pointed to the west, and said: "There is the lotus pond over there. You said you could grow lotus root and raise fish, so I helped to make it."

Guan Wen pointed to the east again, and said: "There is a rocky land over there, and it was you who discovered the cave and said that it could be cleaned up, so I started to clean up those big and small stones, and Brother Feng was able to keep bees. The place."

Guan Wen and Li Xin turned around: "You paid for this house, whether it's a fireplace or an attic, you thought of building it." He then pointed to the cellar: The small place that got up was built only after you said you needed to stockpile grain. Even the back room that is still resting—”

Guan Wen pointed to the new house to the north, which was much taller than the main house: "You also said that the house at home was not enough, so it was built."

"Ah Wen..." Li Xin looked at Guan Wen in a daze: "Do you mean that I am in charge of your life?"

"No, I'm very happy that someone can arrange my life in an orderly manner, and I don't need to worry about it." Guan Wen looked at Li Xin calmly, and there was even a smile in his eyes: "Xin'er, you don't know that I have Thank you so much. Marrying you is definitely the most correct thing I have done in my life. "

"then you……"

"I said this just to tell you that after you married me, you have done too many things for me and the Guan family." Guan Wen's voice was a little confused: "You even helped my whole life without paying anything. At home, from grandpa to brothers and sisters, who dares to say that they have not received any care from you? I should have done these things."

Li Xin moved her lips, suddenly she didn't know what to say.

However, Guan Wen said: "You have worked hard for a year, and from now on, it's my turn to take responsibility for this family."

"Ah Wen..." Li Xin couldn't help but said, "You have never slackened! You have never slackened your responsibilities as the eldest son and grandson, as the eldest brother!"

"I have." Guan Wen said affirmatively: "At least, I made a big mistake when it came to treating Dad and the others."

Li Xin pursed her lips.

Back then when Guan Wen was homesick and everything was going well, she had to endure it.Clay figurines also have a three-point earthy nature. Later, she couldn't bear it anymore, and her relationship with Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng gradually deteriorated to the point of being out of control.

It was under such circumstances that Guan Wen took the attitude of breaking with Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng.

It wasn't until the matter of Miss An's family, the death of Master An's family, the 130 six taels of silver, and Guan Ming and Guan Zhicheng's escape that they completely woke up Guan Wenhe.

I thought life was starting to get better, but I didn't expect that the thieves who suddenly broke into my field of vision would mess up my life again.

Li Xin's eyes turned slightly red.

"Xiner, you have done too much for this family." Guan Wen said, "In 20 years, I want to gain a firm foothold in Hui County."

Li Xin wiped his face: "Awen, you are using your golden years to earn an uncertain future, have you thought about it?"

Guan Wen smiled lightly: "Not yet." He said: "But I already have a goal, and I will slowly, step by step, realize it."

Li Xin felt that his throat was dry, blood was rushing into his brain, and his temples were throbbing.

Guan Wen was waiting for the magistrate to give up and ask him about things he didn't even know.

Occasionally, strangers would come to Guan's house to find Guan Wen. Guan Wen would never do anything to drive people away.He is not a hot-tempered person, his character can even be said to be docile, but Li Xin has never seen him like this... The smile on his face is fake, his words are illusory, his whole body seems to be covered by something , maybe there was something wrong with her eyes, she couldn't see Guan Wen's appearance clearly.

The bed thing at night is particularly intense, he is, she is also, the two people seem to sense each other's existence in this lingering lingering, as if only in this way can they be sure that the person by their side is their closest person.

Ten days later, the strangers around the Guan family gradually disappeared.

Guan Wen is still the same, not going downhill, paddling bamboo at home every day, spending more time with Lao Guan, pinching his shoulders and back, massaging his legs, helping Lao Guan from the yard to the bamboo forest, and Turn back from the bamboo forest.Or to supervise Xiaokang and Yang'er's reading and literacy, causing Xiaokang to tell Xinger secretly that the uncle has a dark face, and he feels so serious and scary.But they still like Guan Wen very much, because he has clear rewards and punishments. Although he is serious, if he does a good job, he will reward Yang'er and Xiaokang.

Gradually, the smile on Guan Wen's face became more serious, but it seemed to be deeper.

Qiuhu also disappeared without a trace in the passage of time.

The real autumn has arrived.

Lotus Village ushered in a bumper harvest.

Although Guan Ming's six-fen paddy field was short of care later, since Li Xin took 130 six taels of silver to repay Guan Ming's debt, the loan note and the six-fen paddy field that Guan Ming had used as collateral were all returned to Li Xin. Xin's hands.In the later period, Paddy still received some care from Guan Wen and Guan Wu.

Although the output is not much, there are still some.

It happened that the owner of a field next to the Guan family’s old house was about to sell the field. Guan Wen negotiated the price with the owner, bought the field back, leveled the ridge in the middle, and spent a lot of money to collect an acre of paddy field.

The grain collector was a little confused when he came to collect the grain. The six-cent paddy field could have paid a part of the tax less, because part of that field belonged to a scholar.Guan Wen corrected the misunderstanding of the grain collector, saying that the field now belongs to them and has nothing to do with the scholar.

In order to prevent similar things from happening in the future, Guan Wen went to the town again on purpose to issue a document at the yamen—even though Guan Wen never wanted to enter the yamen again.

Even though he resented the Yamen in his heart, he still made such a trip to completely draw a line with Guan Zhicheng.
