Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 688

Taking advantage of the time of Chinese New Year, Guan Wen felt relieved of his long-stretched nerves, and took a few days to relax and take a good rest.However, with the Lantern Festival approaching on the 15th of the first lunar month, Guan Wen and Li Xin still had to go back to town.Not only did Guan Wen need to make up his mind on some things in the shop, but Guan Wen also thought that Yang'er and Yoyo were both grown up, so he should take them to the Lantern Festival in the town to make them happy.

After sorting out the family's account books, Li Xin called Uncle Chen and Granny Hua to give him a few solemn instructions.

Granny Hua asked Li Xin: "I see that those big families will set up villages in the village and so on. Our village also has some. I think our place is surrounded by mountains and rivers. Fengshui is very good. Did the master think about it?" How about finding a place to start a Zhuangzi?"

Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and Granny Hua continued: "Not to mention, when you grow up, you will marry someone, dowry a farm shop or something, the master will naturally consider it, but if you can add a Zhuangzi, at least you will have a place of your own Where to stand."

Li Xin pondered for a while, and felt that what Granny Hua said made sense.

Fourth Mrs. Shen went crazy after her child was gone, wasn't she also sent to Zhuangzi to recuperate?The countryside is quiet and the air is good. That's why Li Xin didn't want to move to the town at first.Compared with the town, the scenery in the countryside is much more open.

Qingya also smiled and said: "Ma'am, I feel that Granny Hua is quite right to start a small village. Before the young lady is married, the master and wife can also come and play."

Li Xin rubbed his chin: "It's feasible, but there are several kinds of Zhuangzi, hot spring Zhuangzi, orchard Zhuangzi, and farms with ordinary land... We don't have hot springs here, ordinary land. The farm is under our family's name, and there is no place to start a farm nearby."

Li Xin thought for a while and said, "It seems that the fruit forest next to Lijia Village in the southwest has no owner?"

Granny Hua nodded and said: "That place is indeed unoccupied, but the slope is a bit steep. In the past, some children liked to pick the unowned fruit to eat, but something strange happened later, and the villagers said that place is evil. , don’t let the children go anymore. Over time, the fruit forest has become idle. Everyone in Lijia Village and Hehua Village knows about this.”

Li Xin was slightly surprised, "I haven't heard much about it." Then he asked curiously, "What's so strange?"

"It is said that one day, five children met together to hunt dates. Three children went up the tree to hook dates, and two children picked them up below. The weather was fine, but suddenly it became cloudy, and then There was a muffled thunder, and it rained not long after. The five children said they wanted to go home, but they were reluctant to part with the dates. The three on the tree continued to hook dates, and the two under the tree were next to the trunk, borrowing Cover the branches and leaves to hide from the rain."

Li Xin felt wrong: How could he hide under a tree on a rainy day?

Granny Hua continued: "No one knows what happened in the middle, but after the rain stopped, some adults came out to look for the children, only to find that three of the five children were hanging on the tree without making a sound. Oh boy, one of the people below died, and the other one was probably scared, and has been stupid ever since. What happened that day was also told from his mouth intermittently later. He said he saw a bright light, If you talk about it later, he won’t be able to understand it.”

Li Xin regretted secretly, thinking that these children must have been hit by lightning.

Li Xin said: "Then what happened after that?"

"Later, everyone said that the four children were killed by lightning, and they violated the taboo of the gods by going to the forest to beat dates. There were also those who talked badly, saying that the people who were struck to death by lightning did something wicked I am sorry, the retribution will be on the children and grandchildren. Thinking about those families, it is really pitiful... Not long after, because the rumors and rumors were so distressing, the families who died of the children moved with the whole family, and the rest of the children were dementia The family also felt that this was a sad place, and moved away. After the rumors subsided, no one dared to let their children go to the fruit forest, for fear that their own children would also violate the taboo of the gods."

This is really a tragedy... If one had common sense and knew that one cannot hide under a big tree during thunder and lightning, perhaps such a thing would not have happened.

It can only be said that what happened at that time was too coincidental.

"That piece of fruit forest, what is the village's regulations?"

"I don't want to touch it, and I don't have any other regulations." Uncle Chen replied from the side: "What Miss Hua said was decades ago. In the past few decades, the fruit forest has been growing. There, no one dared to pick the fruit when it was ripe, and it fell to the ground and slowly rotted when it was ripe. I have also visited it many times, and I just feel it is a pity, but I don’t want to pick it up. dare……"

"But that piece of land is always marked out?"

"I have to ask the village chief." Granny Hua said, and looked at Li Xin worriedly: "Isn't Madam interested in that place? Don't worry, I always feel that place... A wicked one."

Li Xin smiled, of course she didn't believe those rumors.Didn't everyone say that digging the lotus pond would offend the lotus god?But after all these years, the lotus god has not seen revenge. Sun Hongyan has come to ask Guan Wen to cooperate with him, and wants to promote this industry as a rich industry in the lotus village.

Thinking of this, Li Xin's eyes lit up.

That night Li Xin mentioned to Guan Wen about the fruit forest in the southwest corner.

Li Xin said: "I asked Uncle Chen, and he said that the forest is about [-] acres, and there are many kinds of fruit trees, which are rich in fruit every autumn. Unfortunately, no one dares to pick them. If we can make this land I bought it, Zhuangzi is the second, and the fruit forest can be regarded as an income."

Guan Wen somewhat disagreed: "Don't look for money, that forest is unlucky, and you can't buy it anywhere."

Li Xin frowned suddenly: "I didn't see that you were concerned about the lotus god when you were digging the lotus pond."

Guan Wen smiled and said: "I was also scrupulous at the time, but seeing that you were in high spirits, I didn't want to disturb your interest. Besides, you were the supporter at home at that time. If you wanted to do something, if I Still objecting to you, I always feel sorry for you. But Xiner, now that our family does not lack the money, why take the risk to buy the fruit forest? What if there is a mistake?"

Guan Wen held Li Xin's hand and said, "Isn't it good if we do this?"

Li Xin pursed her lips and said, "I'm not looking for money, I just think that I can have more property in the village... I don't believe in any evil ways. Grandma Hua told me about the mysterious things in the forest. Bar……"

Li Xin whispered to Guan Wen about the danger of Da Leitian standing under the big tree to avoid the rain, and said, "That incident was a coincidence, and those children's deaths were indeed wronged. But it's really because of this, you let I just watched helplessly and didn’t seize the opportunity in front of me. How could I be willing to do it... If you do your business in the town, the income in my village is no worse than the income in your town. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the top priority. Our family also has land property, real estate, lotus ponds, and many fruit farms... I will wake up laughing when I fall asleep. Besides, there are fruit forests. I don’t need to buy fresh fruits from other places in the future. It's even more reassuring. Besides, isn't your winery going to research new varieties? Last time you asked cousin Changsheng to make wine from lychees. There is no need to buy the raw materials of the variety wine from other places..."

Li Xin was in good spirits today, and he didn't feel tired after talking for a long time. He only pestered Guan Wen and had only one central idea: let him discuss with Sun Hongyan about buying the fruit forest.

Guan Wen couldn't help it, sighed, thought for a while and said, "I'll discuss it with my second and fourth brothers tomorrow, so don't worry."

On the second day, Guan Wen called Guan Wu and Guan Quan, repeated Li Xin's words, and said, "That's why your sister-in-law said that. She wants to buy that forest. What do you think?"

Guan Wu rubbed his hands hesitantly, and said: "Brother, let's forget it. This...not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, it's not that the forest is missing."

Guan Wen didn't pay much attention to other things Li Xin said, but what she said about the winery's raw materials moved Guan Wen a little.

Now Guan Wen has the two largest profitable shops, one is a fur shop, and the other is a joint shop of a winery and a winery. They produce and sell their own products, and their business is booming.Zhao Changsheng was young, courageous, and dared to break through. He really made several new varieties for him. Now they are not only sold in Hui County, but also sold to Yizhou. Pulled back to sell elsewhere.

If there are more varieties, the business opportunities will naturally be infinite.

This is Guan Wu's objection.

But Guan Quan suddenly stood up and said: "Brother, if you have concerns, you might as well leave this fruit forest to me."

Guan Wendun was surprised.

Guan Quan said with a smile: "Recently, I have been helping my elder brother with business, contacting various merchants, eating, drinking and flattering me. I am a little annoyed. Just as this incident happened, I can stay in the village for a while with peace of mind."

Guan Wendao: "I haven't decided to buy the fruit forest yet, and I'm still discussing it with you. After all... if there is something really wrong, it's a matter for our family."

Guan Quan shook his head: "I think what sister-in-law said is very reasonable, I believe what sister-in-law says."

Guan Quan patted his chest: "After listening to what my brother said, I think that place is a cornucopia that has not been discovered. If I have enough money, I will buy that place myself."

Guan Wen laughed at the sound, looked at Guan Wu, and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"

Guan Wulue was a little discouraged.

The four brothers in the family, except for the switch and bearing, the eldest brother and the fourth younger brother are better at making decisions than him.He is a reckless man, he doesn't think too much, but his eldest brother and fourth younger brother are his closest relatives, so of course he obeys them.

Guan Wu nodded and said: "You all said that, I don't have another word..."

Guan Wen patted Guan Wu on the shoulder: "Brother's property in the village, I have to ask my second brother to help the elder brother take care of it."
