Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 253

There were peddlers outside the wall selling Double Ninth Cakes along the street, and Liu said to Xiuyao, "Let's go buy some and try it, for the occasion." Now that the family has money, Liu doesn't want to be too frugal, especially those who come to sell something. For small vendors of small items, Mrs. Liu will always patronize and cheer them on, and everyone likes her.Every time I sell something, I will yell twice outside the wall of her house, and then wait for her to buy it.

Xiuyao went to get the money and went out with Mrs. Liu, the shopkeeper saw them coming out, smiled and greeted, "Sister-in-law Liu, let's buy some Double Ninth Cakes."

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "I'm here to look for you, why didn't I buy some chrysanthemum wine for sale?"

The little peddler smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, how can anyone buy my wine? They have a car dedicated to selling wine. Sister-in-law didn't buy it."

Mrs. Liu said: "We live far away, maybe we sell them in the village, but I didn't hear about it." She bought a few catties of Chongyang cakes, and asked the peddler to pack another bag, and said to the peddler, "Please, when you go back, Send it to our child's grandfather's house." She said the address.

The little peddler said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is a filial person, and every time she buys something, she buys double."

Mrs. Liu smiled, thanked her and took Xiuyao to her house. Xiuyao knew that if the second aunt and third aunt hadn't caused trouble, Mother would have bought four as soon as she bought it, and the two of them also had it.

When the two of them walked to the door, someone shouted from behind: "Aunt Liu, Xiuyao." Looking back, Mrs. Liu was startled, wondering whose young man this is, who looks so imposing, she can't imagine What does it have to do with him.

Speaking of good-looking young men, she also knows a few, Feng Haoran and Gu Ning, both are elegant and handsome young men, but this young man in front of him has a more energetic aura, which makes people feel refreshed at a glance , I feel full of heroism.

She was wondering, Xiuyao said in surprise: "Qi Feng?"

Mrs. Liu remembered who it was, and when she thought about it, she had met Qi Feng once, and the rest of the time she had heard from Xiuyao and her natal family. She smiled and said, "I wanted to invite you several times, but I couldn't. Come inside."

Xiuyao saw that Qi Feng was wearing a dark blue robe, with a knife stuck in his waist, and a jar of wine in her hand. She invited him in and smiled, "Is this chrysanthemum wine? My mother just Still say."

Qi Feng grinned, "It's chrysanthemum wine, there's nothing to bring, it just fits the occasion."

Xiuyao went to pick it up, it's polite to help guests with things, Qi Feng also handed it to her, Xiuyao couldn't help saying, "It's so heavy." The wine jar almost fell to the ground with her.

Qi Feng hurriedly stretched out his hand to hook it up again, and the wine jar quickly turned around and returned to his hand. Fortunately, it was sealed with mud, but it didn't spill out.

Liu Shi happened to see it, and her eyes widened in shock, "Can Qi Feng know kung fu?"

Qi Feng smiled and said: "Aunt Liu, I just learned a little casually, it's nothing."

Mrs. Liu also felt great, praised him a few words, and invited him to sit in the room.

Qin Ye, his wife and Xiuxian are both in the weaving workshop, and Xiurong has also gone these few days. Qin Dafu is too busy to go to the Liu family mill to push the mill, and has to feed the pigs and sheep. Qin De had nothing to do, so he came to help, since his wife was also weaving in the weaving workshop.

Mrs. Liu said to Xiuyao: "Go and call your elder brother Dachan to talk with Qi Feng, and mother to prepare meals." She then said to Qi Feng: "Qi Feng, stay for lunch at noon, let's try what you brought. Here comes the chrysanthemum wine."

Qi Feng smiled and said, "Aunt Liu, you don't need to be busy, just make some home-cooked meals."

Liu Shi smiled and went to buy, Xiuyao glanced at Qi Feng, isn't he usually deserted?Why are you smiling so beautifully with your mother?It seems like a cheerful person who loves to laugh.

Qi Feng felt that Xiuyao was scrutinizing her, so he turned his head and let her look, "Do you not know me anymore?"

After thinking about it, it was really a long time since we saw each other, Xiuyao smiled and said, "You haven't changed a lot, so there's something you don't know." It's just that the voice is a little hoarse, maybe it's in the period of voice change.

"Will you show me your new home?" Qi Feng looked at her expectantly.

Xiuyao signaled him to go with her, she told Liu Shi, and Liu Shi naturally agreed.

Xiuyao and Qi Feng left the yard and went to the farm for a stroll. Along the courtyard wall, they arrived at the farm, where pigs, sheep, rabbits, chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry and livestock were raised.Qi Feng saw that although there were some livestock inside, they were cleaned cleanly. There were some flowers and plants planted on the base of the wall. Now it is late autumn, most of them are withered and yellow, and the branches and leaves have been cut off. Only a large piece of daylilies is interesting.

In addition, there are rows of holly as hedges, echoing those hibiscus hedges. Although the branches and leaves are sparse now, you can also imagine the beautiful scene of red and green when spring comes to summer solstice.

Qin Decai was feeding the pigs, saw them coming to say hello with a smile, Xiuyao chatted with him a few words, then took Qi Feng out, and went to see the self-cultivated field.

"Look, the alfalfa, ginkgo trees, chestnuts, tung trees, Chinese tallow trees and so on here are all sent by Uncle Lin." Xiuyao tilted her head and smiled: "Speaking of which, I still owe you money , if you don’t come again, I will worry about where to send the money.”

Qi Fengxiao, looking at this self-cultivated field transformed from wasteland, felt a little proud in his heart, thinking of this, he couldn't help turning his head to look at her.It's been several years, why does he think she still looks the same, hasn't changed at all?
Of course, he is tall, but the wisdom and calmness conveyed in those eyes are different from the maturity of ordinary children. It is still the same, and has not become more sophisticated because of a few years older.

He couldn't help laughing at himself, she was just a little girl, did he think too much?

Xiuyao took him to see the Artemisia salt field again, "It was not possible to grow anything here at first, but the Artemisia salt seeds I entrusted to you later turned out to be successful, and this year I also exchanged money. We still have some saved, and when we look back Give it to you to taste."

Qi Feng nodded, "I have eaten this a lot, and there are many places by the sea."

Xiuyao couldn't help asking, "Where do you live now?"

Qi Feng paused, "Well... my family is in the county, my mother lives there, and I run around. Sometimes I go to follow the boat, sometimes I go to the beach guard, um... the third brother is there."

Xiuyao didn't understand it either, and it was inconvenient to inquire about what he was doing. His sudden visit and hearty smile made him look less indifferent than before. In addition, the two had a lot of friendship, which made Xiuyao Yao felt that they were all friends.I remembered that when I met him on the road with my mother, his face was covered in blood, it was really scary, and he was injured...

She couldn't help laughing, "What on earth do you do? That time your face was covered with blood and you were injured, my mother was so scared that I muttered for a long time."

Qi Feng said nervously: "Would Aunt Liu have a bad impression of me?"

Xiuyao smiled and said: "No, my mother has always been very grateful to you. You even sent my elder brother back, my grandfather planted your land, and you bought saplings and seeds for us. It's too late for us to be grateful."

After seeing the self-cultivated fields, Xiuyao led him to Qin Chan.Now Qin Ergui's family is still living in the previous hut in the field, and they have not moved out, because Qin Ergui is a good person, Qin Chan and Xiuli are motivated, and Liu's family does not care about Second Aunt and Xiumei, and has been letting them live, and helping them from time to time .

Qin Ergui also helped Qin Dafu with work, and the Liu family gave him money, so he didn't let him do it for nothing. Anyway, he was still asking others. She thought Qin Ergui was good, and she wanted to give Qin Chan and Xiuli a good environment. After all, these two children All good, sensible and motivated.

Seeing Qi Feng, Qin Chan hurriedly got up to say hello, although the etiquette was not thoughtful, but he also had an attitude, but Xiuli recognized it at a glance, and ran out happily, "Brother Qi Feng, you are here."

Qi Feng greeted them, Xiuyao said: "My mother told you to go to dinner, let's go."

Qin Chan usually weaves, and his aunt's family will come to call him when there is anything, so that he can learn to show his face, receive people, and gain insights, so he naturally knows. "Well, I'll lock the door." Reflexively locked the door, took the key and went with them.

On the way, Xiuli chatted with Qi Feng twitteringly, Qin Chan hardly said a few words, less shy when seeing the world, and gradually let go a little bit, and now she is much better than before.

Qin Dafu came back at lunch time, as soon as he heard that Qi Feng was coming, he ran home immediately, before the donkey cart had time to unload, for fear that he would run away again this time.He didn't see it clearly last time in the medical hall, but this time he has to take a good look.

When Qin Dafu rushed into the house, several people were startled. Seeing him looking in a hurry, as if he was being chased by robbers, Liu said angrily: "There are guests at home, look at you."

Qin Dafu didn't care about talking to her, so he went to see Qi Feng, and said with a smile: "Brother Qi, here we come."

Qi Feng nodded to him, and then said hello, Qin Dafu asked the old topic again, "Brother Qi, did you save a little girl who fell into the water at the south end of our village?"

When the old incident was brought up again, Xiuyao's heart trembled, she turned her head to look at Qi Feng, and everyone from the Liu family also looked at him.

Qi Feng seemed to be embarrassed by the look, his face was slightly red, and he didn't know why he was drinking, he thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, and I can't remember it for several years. "

Qin Dafu laughed loudly, and slapped his thigh, "Hey, I have found my benefactor, Yaoyao, hurry up and kowtow to my benefactor."

Xiuyao was very happy when she learned that Qi Feng had saved her, and was about to thank her, but when her father said kowtow, her face became black. Dad, he is not an elder, so he kowtows.Qi Feng was also taken aback by Qin Dafu, he hurriedly said: "Don't, don't, uncle Qin, it's nothing." He has rescued several children who fell into the water, except for Xiuyao. He saved it, but he didn't take it to heart.

If Xiuyao hadn't met him later and saved him, they might not have met again.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly said: "Yaoyao, give you a toast to brother Qi Feng."

Xiuyao picked up the wine glass and thanked Qi Feng. After drinking the wine, Qi Feng's dark eyes became clearer, and his eyes were full of tears, "After drinking this glass of wine, let's stop talking about it, okay?" ?”

Qin Dafu didn't understand: "Why don't you mention it, you are my girl's savior, if you want to come here often in the future, we will leave as relatives. From now on, we Yaoyao will be your sister."

Qi Feng froze obviously, and then said: "Uncle Qin, don't be so polite." He drank the wine while speaking.

Xiuyao touched her lips, and Liu Shi drank for her.

Qin Dafu was still agitated, and said to Liu Shi: "I'll go and call my parents and him, Er Da Da and San Dada, this is a great joy."

Seeing his busy chattering, Liu couldn't help pouring cold water on her, "Our family is happy to find Yaoyao's savior. How can others be happy? What does it have to do with others?" Back then, the mother-in-law wished that the girl would drown, and the second room The two mistresses of the third room were not happy at all, and even asked them to celebrate, he must be out of his mind.

Qin Dafu said awkwardly, "Isn't Qin De just feeding the pigs, tell him to come."

Liu said: "Father, I know you are happy, and we are also happy. Why did you call so many people here? That's it. From now on, let's walk around together and repay Brother Qi more. Talking about so much with others What are you doing with the gourd?"

Qin Dafu thought about it, so he went to accompany the guest.

After eating, Xiuyao took the money from Mrs. Liu and gave him the money owed to Qi Feng.

Qi Feng asked in surprise, "What is this for?"

Xiuyao smiled and said, "Didn't we agree? The money for the saplings."

Qi Feng said: "Didn't you pay Boss Lin?"

Xiuyao said: "Did you forget? You were said to be rich back then."

Qi Feng laughed, "That's what I'm part of."

"Then this is your bonus." Xiuyao pushed ten taels of silver to him.

Naturally, this is a lot, including renting land and helping my brother pay for medicine.

Seeing her pursing her lips and looking very serious, Qi Feng had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll keep it. It's just..." He paused, staring into her eyes, and seriously said: "Is your family going to Do other things? I don’t have much income on weekdays, and I want to put a few taels of money from the family into your share, and then take some bonuses for my mother’s retirement.

I finally found a legitimate excuse, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I was afraid that people would ask me what I was doing today, and I was afraid that I would not be able to answer.

He told Qin Dafu and Liu Shi again, the two naturally said yes, and said to Xiuyao: "Yaoyao, if your elder brother Qi is willing, of course we can't ask for it, just accept it."

Xiuyao said: "Then I'll write a deed, we cooperate in those things, how to share dividends."

Qi Feng said: "You decide, I will press my fingerprints."

Xiuyao couldn't write it herself, but she had collected a lot before, some of which Zhou Lizheng asked for, some of which Qin Xian asked her husband to write for her, and others, all kinds of copies.

Xiuyao moved out and searched to find the right one, and then modified it, and it was almost done.

She doesn't like to use a brush, so she writes with a charcoal pen she made herself. Qi Feng saw that she was using this kind of stick to scratch casually, and the handwriting was beautiful and dignified, which was more charming than calligraphy, so he couldn't help but stare at it.

After Xiuyao finished writing, he read it to them. Qin Dafu and Liu Shi knew that their daughter was proficient in this area, so they naturally didn't bother, so they said yes, but Qi Feng heard that Xiuyao gave very generously.

He said: "I don't want so much, we can't do anything, as long as it's better than keeping the money at home. It's good to generate some interest." If Xiuyao doesn't change, he won't press his fingerprints.

Xiuyao had no choice but to change the share, and finally summed it up: he has 20 taels of silver, and he can get [-] taels of silver in interest every year.This rate of return is naturally extremely high, but the condition of Xiuyao's family has improved, and all livelihoods are on the right track, so this little money is of course a trivial matter.So Qi Feng didn't refuse, he just took it for nothing.

For the cost of the 20 taels of silver, Xiuyao included what he gave to herself at the beginning, the purchase of saplings later, and the money he paid for the medicine in advance for her elder brother.Not counting the sweet potato, after all, the sweet potato is priceless, and it is the capital of the two of them to make a fortune.Anyway, it is said that it is [-] taels a year. When the time comes, they will ask for his home address, visit the old lady several times a day, and send more rice, noodles, oil, meat and vegetables. Naturally, it will be far more than this amount.

After discussing everything, Qi Feng didn't look at it, so he pressed his fingerprints according to Xiuyao's request, but he refused to ask for the deed, and asked Xiuyao to keep it.He had already agreed, so Xiuyao stopped arguing, folded the deed, and put it in her box.

Qi Feng saw that it was getting late, so he said goodbye to them, Qin Dafu tried to persuade him to stay, "Brother Qi is in a hurry to go back? If you have nothing to do, just stay for two days and have fun. The family is not busy with farming, and there is plenty of time."

Qi Feng thanked him for his kindness, "Uncle Qin, another day, I also have time now, stay at home for a while, and invite your family to play."

Qi Feng said goodbye, and Liu Shi packed some homemade gifts for him, they were all pickled vegetables and hemp duck eggs, etc., and brought them back to the old lady to eat.Qi Feng didn't refuse, Qin Dafu took everyone to send them off, and when they left the gate, Xiuyao asked strangely, "Where's your horse?" Only then did he remember that he was holding a jar of wine, but the horse didn't see it.

Qi Feng smiled and bent his little finger, brought it to his lips, and blew a clear whistle. Soon, the black and blue horse trotted and appeared in everyone's sight.Although everyone has seen that direction, if it does not appear on its own initiative, they would not be able to find it. It is really amazing.

Fortunately, Xiao Yang'er was not at home, otherwise he would definitely pester Qi Feng to ride a horse.

Qi Feng put all the things sent by Liu Shi in the pouch on the horse's back, and then asked them to stop, according to Qin Dafu, he was going to send them to the entrance of the village.

Liu said: "Qi Feng, you don't need to go from the village, it's better to go east from the road in front of our gate."

Qi Feng hummed, said goodbye to them, then turned the horse's head and urged the horse to leave.

After he left, Qin Dafu was still excited and couldn't calm down, and kept saying that God opened his eyes and found his benefactor.
