the next day.

Five o'clock in the morning.

Tomorrow is still unknown, and most of the residents of Weishui Village are still sleeping in Wenrou Township.

The fragrance of flowers is fragrant, and the birds sing and sing.

A creaking sound suddenly came, piercing the silent morning sky.

Xu Xiaolou gently pushed open the wooden door, and sneaked out from the door.

I looked around and found that there were no other figures.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and ran towards Li Lan's house not far away.

Standing still at the dilapidated wooden door, he was just about to raise his hand to knock on the door.

Just halfway up his hand, he saw the door open by itself.

Inside the door is a pretty face full of excitement and tension.

The owner of this yard, Li Lan, seems to have been waiting here for a long time.

She greeted Xu Xiaolou to come in nervously.

……

After a while.

Li Lan prepared tea and breakfast and served them on the table.

The tea is nothing but pure white.

Early, that is, after receiving a call from Xu Xiaolou last night, I got up from the bed overnight and worked in the kitchen until 03:30 before steaming the steamed buns stuffed with eggs and leeks.

With garlic vinegar, Xu Xiaolou ate three steamed buns. He wiped his mouth and said, "Aunt Li, let's talk about work. Look at your busy work. You are steaming buns and serving tea. I'm a little embarrassed about pouring water."

Saying sorry, he picked up another bun and stuffed it into his mouth.

Li Lan smiled and said, "It's okay, it's all from my family, so why not be polite. Xiaolou, you called last night and said that you have something important to talk to me this morning. What's the matter? What's the matter? You can’t say it at night, do you have to say it during the day?”

When she said this, Li Lan's cheeks turned red.

"Hahaha... I'm not thinking about my identity. If someone knocks on your door in the middle of the night and someone sees it, don't spread the word about it. It's not good for your reputation."

Xu Xiaolou laughed a few times, and suddenly thought that Aunt Li's daughter should still be sleeping at this time, so he quickly lowered his voice and continued, "That's right, do you remember the wild ginseng you dug up yesterday?"

Li Lan, who was wearing a nightdress, regained her spirits immediately, and said, "I remember, what's wrong, it's sold?"

Xu Xiaolou nodded.

Li Lan hurriedly asked: "Then how much money can I get?"

She didn't ask how much it sold, but how much money I could get.

That's where she's smart.

As someone else's employee, you can't know too much, you only need to know what you should know.

Although Li Lan has never gone out to work in her life, she deeply understands this truth.

It's like when her man was still alive, how much farm work he went out to do every day, how much dry tobacco he smoked, how much money he lost playing cards with others, these were beyond her control.

Because I asked too many questions, the man was tired of asking, and the next step might be a severe beating.

Therefore, this may also be a very sad habit, or in other words, it is the wisdom educated by those fists.

Xu Xiaolou stretched out a finger.

After a pause, he stretched out his other hand and made a zero gesture.

Li Lan immediately covered his chest with a look of surprise on his face.

She asked with some uncertainty: "This... How much is this?"

Because the one-piece nightdress was a bit spacious, following her movements, Xu Xiaolou swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, coughed twice and said, "One hundred thousand!"

One hundred thousand!

For ordinary households in Weishui Village, this may represent a figure that can only be accumulated for several years without eating or drinking.

Li Lan, who had never saved more than four figures in his life, only felt his heart twitch suddenly when he heard the two words, and then his head went dizzy.

She picked up the tea bowl and wanted to take a sip of tea, so she followed suit.

But he found that his lips were already trembling beyond control.

She couldn't open her mouth, so she put down the tea bowl again.

Li Lan's body trembled involuntarily.

It took her a long time to calm down.With a slightly hoarse voice, he asked, "One hundred thousand... all belong to me?"

Xu Xiaolou nodded.

Li Lan supported the edge of the table and stood up, not knowing what to do.

In fact, she herself didn't know why she stood up.Maybe it's because I'm sitting there, my breathing is not smooth, I want to stand up and take a breath.

Suddenly, her legs went limp.

So, she staggered and fell down on Xu Xiaolou weakly.

Xu Xiaolou opened his arms and hugged each other.

He felt something wet on his shoulders.

Hugging the other person's shoulders and gently pushing away, she found that Aunt Li's eyes were full of tears at this time, and those eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in the early morning of autumn and winter.

Xu Xiaolou asked awkwardly: "What's the matter, Aunt Li, why are you crying?"

Li Lan finally regained some strength, she gently let go of the opponent's embrace, stood firm, wiped the corners of her eyes, and said casually: "No... I didn't cry, I got into the sand."

The two were in the house at this time.

No wind, not even dust, where did the sand come from?
The men and women in the room looked at each other in silence.

A pot of steamed buns placed on the dilapidated wooden table was still emitting heat.

The air is a little quiet.

Xu Xiaolou pondered for a moment, feeling that the atmosphere was getting more and more strange, so he asked with a smile: "Aunt Li, what do you think about the money? I will give you cash some other day? Or do you get a bank card later, and I will give it to you?" You transfer money."

Li Lan's mood has stabilized. She frowned and thought for a long time, and said, "Xiaolou, why don't you take the money first, it's too troublesome to put the cash here, and I don't know how to handle bank cards, and I don't know how to handle bank cards. I have to go into the city, and I don't want to go out."

"No, how about this, I'll get a bank card later, deposit the [-] in my name, and then give it to you. Just let me know if you've used the money, and I'll help you get the cash."

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

"Aunt Li, can I ask you something off topic?"

"Ask Xiaolou, there are no outsiders here."

"Why don't you want to go out? I mean, why don't you want to leave this Weishui Village? Since I can remember, it seems that I haven't seen you walk out of that mountain." Xu Xiaolou pointed in the direction of Qinglong Mountain.

"Well, I think it's good to stay in this village." Li Lan's eyes dodged a little.

"It's just like that?" Xu Xiaolou's face was filled with disbelief.

"Well, it's just like this. If it's possible, I don't want to leave here in my life." When Li Lan said this, another teardrop fell from the corner of Li Lan's eyes.

She raised her hand to wipe it off, and laughed at herself, "Hehe, sand got in again."

Xu Xiaolou wanted to say something more, but suddenly, the door of a hut next to him was gently pushed open.

A little girl poked her head out quietly.

I saw her eyes were clear, transparent and innocent, and no one could bear to hurt anyone who looked at her.

The little girl called softly: "Uncle Xu, you are here."

Xu Xiaolou, who was called uncle, immediately smiled, walked over, rubbed the girl's head, and said softly, "Silly girl, call me brother."

This is Li Lan's daughter, eight years old this year, her full name is Qin Wan.

Qin Wan stuck out her tongue/head, and said playfully, "Okay, Brother Xu."

Xu Xiaolou pointed the girl's forehead with his fingers, and said, "Go back to the room and continue to sleep."

Close the door.

Xu Xiaolou turned around and looked at Aunt Li who had a soft face at this time, and a warm feeling rose in his heart.

Li Lan also felt warm in his heart.

Xu Xiaolou's actions just now revived her heart that hadn't been watered for many years and beat violently.

She thought to herself, if the man in front of her was the father of the child, how great would it be?

Xu Xiaolou didn't know what was going on in the woman's mind, so he smiled and said, "By the way, Aunt Li, don't tell others about the sale of that ginseng tree."

Li Lan nodded.

The reason for not telling others is that although the company is rich now, the principle of not revealing its wealth is deeply rooted in the hearts of rural people. In addition, the company will welcome thirteen new employees later.What is the character of those new employees, will they be motivated by money, will they cause trouble because Xu Xiaolou does not give them daily wages, will they know that Xu Xiaolou's company now has a huge sum of 100 million, which will attract more Many people from the village came to defect, causing the company to face the previous stretched situation again.

None of this is known.

Therefore, Xu Xiaolou and Shen Xiaoxiao discussed it last night and decided that it is better to keep a low profile.

Li Lan didn't know these crooked ways, she only knew that the man in front of her would not lie to her.

Knowing this is enough.
