Chapter 12
"Can we have a look around? I'm curious about this orchard." Mo Xiaoqian asked with a smile.

"Of course you can, just in front of and behind the house, you can go around as you like. If you like to eat fruits and are not afraid of hardship, you can pick them and taste them." Zhang Yue looked at Mo Xiaoqian, and the suspicion in his eyes disappeared quickly. People can't catch it.

"Hey, how old do you think this aunt is?" Walking out of the house, Song Ran poked Mo Xiaoqian.

"It should be around forty." Mo Xiaoqian said after pondering.

"I think so too, but I think she looks old."

"The pressure of life is high, and it is natural to force people to age prematurely. I can't tell that you are a gossip." Zhang Yue's ten-acre land grows a lot of fruits, such as plantains, oranges, loquats, persimmons, and grapefruits. The types are not specific. , although it is an orchard, it can only be operated on a small basis.

Turning her eyeballs, she burrowed into the orange grove, picked an orange, peeled it and stuffed it into her mouth, but biting it made her frown. "It's really bitter!"

"It's so strange to be suspicious." Song Ran shrugged, but turned his eyes, and picked a plantain, peeled it and put it in his mouth, and then his brows were also twisted into a knot, "It's also bitter!"

"Ah, bitter?" Mo Xiaoqian's eyes widened, then she jumped over and gnawed down a plantain, "I've never seen a plantain that can be so bitter, Huang Lian doesn't have to mess around."

"Have you ever eaten Coptis chinensis?" Song Ran clapped his hands, seemingly asking casually.

"No, didn't the book say that yellow lotus is the most bitter thing? I'm just making an analogy." Didn't get a chance to taste that stuff.

Song Ran smiled, a flash of deep thought flashed in his eyes.

After walking around for a while, it got dark before they knew it. Zhang Yue cooked a meal and let them stay overnight before leaving. They couldn't catch up with the car home and didn't need to stay in a hotel.On the other hand, Song Ran had a troubled expression on his face. Under Mo Xiaoqian's scrutinizing gaze, he swallowed the words again.

A smile flashed from the corner of Mo Xiaoqian's eyes. Not everyone can do it by punching a swollen face. This guy's tutor must be very strict. If he doesn't come home in the middle of the night, I don't know how the old man will go crazy... But, it's up to her What's up?It's not that she wants him to follow!

There are no electric lights here, and the biggest advantage of oil lamps is that they can be hypnotized early.At seven or eight o'clock, it's time to go to bed.Among the three wooden houses, Mo Xiaoqian lived in Zhang Yue's daughter's room, and through a wooden board, she could still hear Song Ran's tossing and turning.

Is it because the bed is too hard to sleep well, or are you worried about the family?Mo Xiaoqian smiled gloatingly.

When I was drowsily asleep, I felt someone push the door, turned my head and saw that it was Song Ran, and the corner of my mouth twitched, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"

"I'm leaving. If I don't go back, the old man will skin me." Song Ran felt a little embarrassed when he was caught.

"Then let's go, but the road is dark at night, so be careful." Mo Xiaoqian nodded, indicating that she understood.

"You don't want to keep me?" Song Ran glanced at her, "What if something happens when you walk at night?"

"Fate." Mo Xiaoqian shrugged her shoulders, her expression indifferent.

"You are so ruthless!" Song Ran gritted his teeth.

"Everyone, each other." With that skill, even a few gangsters can't hold him down. If she really encounters someone looking for trouble, and she doesn't know who is unlucky, she has nothing to worry about.

After sending Song Ran away, Mo Xiaoqian didn't feel much sleepy, and when she turned back to the house, she met Zhang Yue who was wearing a coat. "Isn't it good to admit the bed?"

"Well, my friend is afraid of being blamed by his parents, so he went home." Like being caught as a thief, Mo Xiaoqian felt a little uncomfortable.

"I know." Zhang Yue looked at her with a smile, "Aren't you afraid that your family will worry?"

"I came out to do business, and I greeted my mother. She won't be too worried."

"Are you in business?" Zhang Yue looked her up and down, and said, "No wonder I looked at you before, and you have a maturity that doesn't match your age."

"Auntie stayed up so late, did we wake you up?"

"No, I miss my daughter. Now in the third year of high school, materials and documents are so expensive, and my daughter is going to college, so I don't know how to find the tuition fees at that price." Zhang Yue said, with a sad face on his face.

Mo Xiaoqian rolled her eyes, thinking of the idea she had just had, she looked at Zhang Yue: "Aunt Zhang, don't you want to sell the orchard?"

"Yeah, but this fruit is notoriously bitter, and Feng Shui is not well-known. Even if I want to sell it, no one will buy it." Zhang Yue sighed.

"Then, if someone wants to buy it, how much do you plan to pay, Aunt Zhang?"

"This fifteen acres of land, hey, I'm happy with a thousand." Aunt Zhang shook her head helplessly.

"If I take out one thousand, how about selling your garden to me?"

"You?" Zhang Yue looked her up and down, pondered for a moment, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Okay, as long as you take out the money, I will give you the land deed."

The tone of disbelief hit Mo Xiaoqian's self-esteem strongly.But she can only laugh it off. After all, she is too young and does not look like a rich person. If she thinks about it from another position, she will question herself.

Get up early the next day and continue selling pears.During the holidays, the fruit is easy to sell, and I made another 430 yuan and [-] cents.

Giving Zhang Yue 1000 yuan as a deposit, Mo Xiaoqian said: "Give me two weeks, and I will get together [-] yuan."

Looking at the cash in his hand, Zhang Yue was stunned for a while, blinked his eyes, and suddenly called Mo Xiaoqian who was about to leave: "What do you want this orchard for? Are those fruit trees going to be cut down?"

In fact, what was sold was the water that was poured out, and Zhang Yue took care of it too much. If the orchard was sold to her, she should let her handle it.Mo Xiaoqian pursed her lips and remained silent.

Zhang Yue was also clever. Looking at Mo Xiaoqian's expression, she knew that she was unhappy, so she hurriedly said, "I don't want to interfere with your affairs, I just want to ask, it seems that you are still a student, and the matter of buying the orchard is at home. People don't know, do they?"

"I don't plan to get rid of those fruit trees for the time being." Mo Xiaoqian combed the mottled yellow hair hanging down to her chest with her fingers. This woman is not stupid, "What do you want to say?"

"I have nowhere to go after leaving the orchard. I haven't been in touch with the outside world for a long time, and my future is at a loss. But I can take care of the orchard and have experience in planting. How about you hire me to take care of the orchard?"

Only then did Mo Xiaoqian look up at Zhang Yue. She was not like those pedantic and conservative peasant women who had avant-garde thinking and behavior to a certain extent.Frowning and thinking for a while, what Zhang Yue said was correct, she is a student, and she cannot have time to take care of the orchard, and this real fruit tree must be carefully cared for to bear beautiful fruits.

Although Zhang Yue's management of this orchard is not good, she still has some experience. She checked around the orchard yesterday, and she can indeed take care of the orchard... At least, it is still possible to weed and fertilize the orchard.
