Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 721

Xing'er patted Li Xin's hand: "Let's not talk about this matter, the child's matter has to be taken slowly. This year, there is a strange thing. Do you know about the gem fair? I heard that this year our county will hold a large-scale The gem fair is more lively than in previous years, and the selected 'gems' will be used as auspicious signs to celebrate the birthday of the Empress Dowager Jingli."

Li Xin was a little surprised: "The Gem Fair is held every year, and I have never been there before. Except for wine and lychees, the three treasures of Hui County, this dead thing should not be considered strange, no matter how strange it is, That's nothing compared to real gems..."

Xing'er said: "Isn't that picture auspicious? If you come across a stone with a natural pattern like a white crane, phoenix, ganoderma, etc. that symbolize auspiciousness, then offering it to Beijing will have a better meaning than anything else. Xing'er bumped into Li Xin: "Brother should also find a way to get one. For this matter, the county magistrate has already greeted the county business. It is necessary to make this year's gem fair a big one. It's beautiful! I happened to overhear my natal cousin talking about it when he came back yesterday."

Hearing Xing'er's words, Li Xin just recalled that Guan Wen said before leaving that there was something to be done quickly in the past few days. At that time, she only thought about returning to the village, and did not ask Guan Wen about his busy schedule.Could it be that this is what he was talking about?

"The empress dowager is at an age when she knows her fate this year. In recent years, bandits have caused troubles, and the embankment of the Junhe River has been flooded, and she has suffered a lot. Taking advantage of this opportunity, our lord may also do something in the name of the empress dowager's birthday. It’s a matter, please appease the common people.”

Xing'er spoke clearly and logically, Li Xin said with a sullen smile: "You are not a court minister, what do you want to do?"

"Why don't you think about it?" Xing'er said, "It would be nice if His Majesty could reduce our taxes for us?"

Li Xin nodded with a smile.

"There are many stones by the Dagui River, and this gem is really so important, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people gathered by the river beach during this time." Li Xin was thoughtful: "Everyone is busy looking for stones. "

At the time of the Olympic Games, some people began to look for stones with such related patterns such as "Beijing", "Olympic Games" and "2008" all over the country after the successful bid for the Olympic Games. Natural stones with auspicious patterns can also directly please the superiors, and maybe you can get a windfall.The Gem Fair is held grandly, and everyone in the world has the fluke mentality of "getting something for nothing", and maybe they will really be mobilized to pick up stones by the Dagui River.

Xing'er smiled and said: "They must all go, if you really pick up a lucky stone, the reward will be huge, who would not want to take advantage of it for nothing." Xing'er spread her hands: "I am busy raising pigs I can’t move away from the things over there, otherwise I have to pick up stones.”

Li Xin laughed at her: "It's like a money fan."

Myolie said cheerfully, "I don't believe you don't like silver." After a pause, Myolie said, "I'm going to the town to join in the fun when the Gem Fair is held every year, and this year is the biggest , I will also open my eyes."

Li Xin said: "Success, we will go together when the time comes. I haven't seen a serious gem society yet."

Li Xin stayed in Hehua Village for two days. Since there were many children in the village and they were all playful, under the guidance of Xiaokang and Geng'er, the "local snakes", Mu Chun gradually joined their circle. There are more smiles on the face.

Taking this opportunity, Li Xin also got together with some friends.

As Xinger said, Yao Hua took care of the child and did not come.But Yinhuan came here in a hurry, and when she came, she looked at Li Xin and asked her to call Yoyo, so that she, an aunt, could take a good look.Bai Hui brought Heng'er here, and told her, the older sister, to have fun with her younger siblings and to protect them.Li Xin was amused, Bai Hui's move was obviously to let Heng'er and Yang'er develop a relationship.

Li Xin didn't object either. She also felt that it was unfair for the two children to get married even though they didn't know each other very well.If it is true that the relationship can be cultivated from an early age, the childhood sweethearts will grow up, gradually develop from friends to husband and wife, and the relationship will be harmonious when they get married in the future.

The four of them happened to sit in a circle and chat, each talked about their recent situation, and also talked about the Gem Society.

Yinhuan teased Li Xin and said, "Tsk tsk, your family's Guan Wen also got drunk on wine and lychee, so now you want to get your hands on this gem too?"

Guan Wen opened a winery in the town, and the lychee wine produced and brewed by Guan Ji Winery is very popular. Both wine and lychees are available, so Yinhuan would say so.

Li Xin smiled and said, "How can I, a woman, know about their men's business? I don't know anything about the Gem Fair. Xing'er came back two days ago and told me. Don't you believe me?" Ask Myolie."

Xing'er nodded on the side.

"We hold gem fairs every year, and I don't see much new ideas." Yinhuan said: "This year is a bit interesting. My father-in-law also went to dig stones by the Dagui River two days ago. It's okay to say that he is idle. Do."

"I'm discussing with my sister-in-law that when the Gemstone Association starts appraising treasures, I will also go to the town to join in the fun." Xing'er laughed.

Yinhuan immediately said: "Don't leave me behind! I want to go too!"

"That's fine with me." Bai Hui smiled and said, "I'll be bothering Li Xin then."

It's nothing more than staying in the closed house for one night, of course Li Xin doesn't mind: "What are you talking about, come to my house and it's like going back to your own home."

Bai Hui thanked Li Xin and let out a long sigh: "Now I realize how wise you and your family's original idea of ​​digging lotus ponds to raise lotus roots and fish was. As for dying from starvation or having no clothes to wear, he is worthy of being the village head. From the moment you negotiated with him and are willing to teach people to grow lotus root in the lotus pond, anyone who follows the swan goose will make a small profit Those who were timid at the beginning, for fear that the lotus god would punish them, are now scratching the wall in regret."

Li Xin raised her eyebrows. No wonder the carriages came back. From the entrance of the village, all the villagers looked at her and smiled, some of them were flattering.

Yinhuan said: "Everyone makes money, so why not do it? Of course, the more money the better."

Li Xin and the others laughed.

Now that he had returned to Hehua Village, Li Xin also thought about going back to his mother's house. After saying hello to Xing'er, Li Xin took the four children to Li's Village. Go with Yang Er to meet Shan Zi.

"Auntie, I really miss Brother Shanzi, don't drive me home! Geng'er chases after my ass every day, I'm tired of him."

Li Xin couldn't help laughing.

Boys at the age of Yang'er and Xiaokang are when their self-esteem begins to swell, and they enter early puberty. The ancients developed earlier, and their maturity was also earlier.Right now, I am not afraid of anything, I hate little girls who flick their braids, I hate little kids chasing after my butt, I hate the age when adults lecture them, it is very easy for a well-off troublemaker to go around him normal thing.

Li Xin didn't chase him away, knowing that Yang'er and Xiaokang almost had a kind of "respect" for Shan Zi, and regarded him as a big brother, thinking that it would be good for the brothers to get together.

When we arrived at Lijia Village, Li’s house was bustling with activity. Li Ge was grabbing Shanzi and asking him to use an honorific name for him, and Shanzi told her loudly, “Auntie, I was wrong.” , dodging left and right, annoyed why did she touch this girl's purse... If she moved it, she should have thrown it far away, so she didn't want to be vented to the bottom by her younger brother.

Shanzi glared at Xiaodou, Xiaodou raised his eyebrows, and said slowly: "Brother, my little aunt asked me, I have to tell. Lying is not good."

"Shut up, you're missing an arm!" Shan Zi yelled, and Li Ge yelled loudly, "Li Chengfeng, you're right!"

Shanzi ran out with his head in his arms, muttering in his heart that this girl's voice is really high-pitched!No wonder it is called "song"!

"Hey, what's the matter, can't the two aunts and nephews fight?" Li Xin stood in the middle of the road with a smile, while Yang'er and Xiaokang had already rushed towards Shanzi, calling "Brother Shanzi" together.

As if he saw a savior, Shan Zi hurriedly pulled one of them along the trail behind the mountain and disappeared in a few seconds.

Li Ge jumped on his feet and said to Li Xin: "Sister, you came at a bad time, I haven't settled the score with my eldest nephew yet!"

Li Xin covered his mouth and smiled, Li Ge leaned over to look at Liang'er in Qingya's arms, and the exasperation just disappeared in an instant: "Ah! Have you grown so big?"

The little baby has seen the wind grow, and now Liang'er's face has grown, with regular features, much like Guan Wen.

Mrs. Liu greeted them, seeing that it was Li Xin who immediately let them in, and asked, "Why didn't Ah Wen come back with you?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "I took the children back to relax, and I made a special trip to play, and I will go back in two days. He is very busy during this time."

Mrs. Liu muttered a few words, touched Yoyo's face sweetly, and took Liang'er from Li Xin's arms to hug and coax her.

With a grandson, Liu's enthusiasm for Yang'er is no longer, and he has no affection for Mu Chun. When they call someone, he just nods his head lightly and greets him, and it's considered complete.

Li Houzhong chuckled, and said to Li Xin: "When I come back, I will play for two more days. Now that the farming is slack, I will just wait for the New Year."

Li Xin nodded, patted Xiaodou's head and said, "Go, play with younger brothers and sisters."

Xiaodou nodded, and walked slowly towards Muchun and Youyou.

Li Houzhong said: "This kid is a slow person, just the opposite of his brother."

Li Ge only got tired of being beside Li Xin, making all kinds of weird faces to tease Liang Er in Li Xin's arms.

Li Xin, Li Houzhong, and Liu Shi reminisced about the old days. Halfway through the conversation, someone called the door outside the courtyard.Mrs. Liu frowned, glared at Li Houzhong and said, "Your good brother is here again, you should hurry to welcome him!"

Li Houzhong looked embarrassed, but he didn't stop on his feet, so he went to open the gate of the courtyard.

"Mom, what's going on? You and dad are having trouble again because of uncle?"

"I don't have time to make trouble with him." Mrs. Liu curled her lips, and was about to complain to Li Xin when Li Houbo's voice yelled at the door: "Second brother, let eldest brother carry that stone, you don't mind if you donate it." I didn't give out a flower, maybe the elder brother took it, so there is something different? The elder brother is not as good as you, and your son and daughter are very promising, and you let the stone bring blessings to the elder brother... "
