Mid-Levels Farm

Chu Ruozhuo personally drove Xuan Xiaodong to the station, apologizing incessantly: "I was going to pick you up, but Mr. Sheng just happened to see me after seeing the doctor. It is said that he is about to go to the hospital for an operation. Time is short, I I didn't expect Sheng Leilei to tease you like this all of a sudden. It's all my fault. The children of these aristocratic families are arrogant, and the Sheng family is all over the military, government, diplomacy, finance, and land, so they always look higher than the top Yes, it surprised you."

He hesitated for a while and then said: "The Sheng family is very powerful, and Mr. Sheng has been kind to me, so I can only make peace with each other. On that occasion just now... it's no good to offend them, it's better to get some benefits..." He Already sensitive to the abnormality hidden in Sheng Leilei's behavior, Xuan Xiaodong is a farm boy, why would the good Sheng family oppose him?

But this matter was all caused by him, he was sorry for Xuan Xiaodong, no matter what, he should try his best to mediate and keep him.

Xuan Xiaodong was silent for a while but asked, "Mr. Sheng is going to be hospitalized for an operation?"

Chu Ruozhuo said: "Yes, that's why I trusted Sheng Leilei, thinking that he really wanted to pray for Mr. Sheng's luck. In fact, I went in and thanked him, and then I saw his complexion was very bad and his body was very tired, so I hurried After saying a few words, he resigned and wanted to come out to pick you up, only to get up, Mr. Sheng's secretary came in and told him that Mr. Lei had a conflict with Mr. Chu's friend, and asked Mr. Sheng if he wanted to go out and deal with it."

"I was taken aback when I heard that, and thanks to the cleverness of the secretary, Mr. Sheng came out with me to suppress Sheng Leilei... Hey, you don't know, that's an evil spirit. When he was studying at the Huanjing Police Academy, He was a little unscrupulous, and after he came out to work, all the evil energy was sent to the criminals. I heard that he made two great achievements in just two years after graduation, and the Sheng family would arrange it. With such a Shura temper, he can only become a policeman Only then can we fight poison with poison. It’s all my fault. When I saw the freshwater fish tank, I should have thought that they didn’t really want to buy the Red Dragon... Hey! You have been wronged. The compensation will arrive in two days, and I will transfer it to you.”

Xuan Xiaodong said, "It's fine."

Chu Ruozhuo said, "Speaking of which, you are really familiar with guns! Did you learn it in the army before? It's too strong!"

Xuan Xiaodong smiled slightly, but Chu Ruozhuo kept on talking, "I'll take you to the shooting range when I have time... By the way, or we can go to the Southwest, where there is a hunting ground next to the Asang Primeval Forest, where you can hunt .”

Xuan Xiaodong said, "I trained there."

"!" Chu Ruozhuo opened his eyes wide: "You are too powerful!"

Xuan Xiaodong smiled wryly: "It was a lot of hard work, I almost died inside, I ate all kinds of bugs, snakes, frogs, mice, and later when all the members came out, I realized that we were the only ones who survived all the previous training... The death index of that special training is quite high."

Chu Ruozhuo: "..."

While talking, the station arrived, Xuan Xiaodong got out of the car, said goodbye to Chu Ruozhuo, got in the car and went back to his small vegetable garden in the middle of the mountain.

It was the time when the sky was full of sunset, and Xuan Xiaodong walked in the golden red afterglow at the foot of the mountain, but he was not in a hurry. He liked this kind of unreal sunset time, and he seemed to be immersed in another dimension of the world. Quiet and peaceful with some fantasy.

However, he had only reached the middle of the mountain when he heard the new puppy in his vegetable garden barking crazily.

Xuan Xiaodong walked in a few steps, and saw that the chai gate outside the vegetable garden was open, and a tricycle was parked outside, and saw a young man inside talking to the live ball: "Do you like this vegetable garden? Tell me Everyone, the small restaurant opened by my family is made with such fresh vegetables, everyone is welcome to taste it."

The pitch-black little milk dog has just been full moon, its paws are soft, and it is yelling at the young man's feet, the hairs all over its body stand on end, when it sees Xuan Xiaodong coming in, it rushes to Xuan Xiaodong immediately Dong's feet groaned aggrievedly.

Xuan Xiaodong bent down slightly and picked up the milk dog Xiao Hei and hugged him in his arms, and said to the young man lightly: "Don't take pictures without permission."

The young man was startled and turned around. Seeing that Xuan Xiaodong was a little nonchalant, he still said to the audience, "Okay, my relatives are here, and I will broadcast live for you next time. I'm here first. Goodbye everyone."

After turning off the live broadcast, he said carelessly: "It's me, Agui, Brother Adong. They are all relatives, so don't be so indifferent. My mother said that the water in the town has been cut off for the past few days, and the restaurant at home is not enough to supply water. Tell me Come and ask you to go back with a car."

Xuan Xiaodong said indifferently: "Last time I asked you if you want to dig a well together, but you refused."

Agui laughed and said, "Drilling a well is very expensive. I didn't expect you to be so willing to spend so much money digging a well on the mountain... Why do you insist on living on the mountain? There is no running water. It takes so much money to drill wells. People in the village laughed at you for being stupid before. Now there is no water. My mother said that you still understand. After all, you have been a soldier and you are willing to invest. My mother said let me remind you, except our family , if other people come to you and ask for water, you must charge money."

Xuan Xiaodong: ...

I really don’t want to say it, but at the beginning, he meant that he could pay for a well in the village for everyone to use. I didn’t expect my cousin to jump up and say that the tap water is enough. If it’s not enough, I can go to the river to fetch water. I strongly disagree. We need to dig a well—the water is really cut off now, why don’t we go to the river to pick it?

Forget it, he turned around: "The well is inside, you can dig it yourself."

Agui hurriedly said: "Hey, cousin, brother Xiaodong, do me a favor. If I can type it out by myself, I won't wait for you to type it back. It's too heavy. I can't move it. !"

Xuan Xiaodong was a little speechless, patted the little milk dog on the head, let him into the kitchen, picked out a chicken rack from the pressure cooker and threw it for him to eat, then walked out to the backyard, and threw the bucket from the well bucket into the well Then pull it up and pour it into the plastic bucket that Agui brought over.

In two strokes, he filled up the four plastic buckets he brought and carried him onto the tricycle. Agui envied, "Brother Xiaodong has great strength, and your arms are not too thick..." But he picked up a few fresh cucumbers: "Brother, I'm thirsty, take a few melons to quench my thirst—by the way, I think your leeks have grown too much, and you are getting old. Cut off the handle for me? Tomorrow will be eating dumplings."

Xuan Xiaodong turned around and cut a few handfuls, put them neatly on his cart, and cut several vegetables, took a vegetable basket and packed them separately on Agui's cart.

Agui was flattered: "So many!"

Xuan Xiaodong said: "These handfuls of leeks are for you, and you can take this basket of vegetables back to Grandma Xia's house for me."

Agui was shocked: "Why are you giving Granny Xia so much? The village has just organized condolences to her family! My mother said that she saw the village head carrying chicken and pork, which weighed several catties!"

Xuan Xiaodong waved his hand: "I'm willing to give it to you. You can just carry it over for me. Don't stop it. I'll ask Granny Xia. Let's go. It's going to be dark in a while. It's just your family's pettiness that you don't pick up something when you go out. What's the matter?" Can it be changed in time?"

Agui smiled, without a hint of shame: "Brother, I'll go first. I didn't expect you to plant such a big vegetable garden on this barren hill. You can't eat it all by yourself. Why don't you give it to me at a cheaper price?" Does my restaurant serve food?"

Xuan Xiaodong said indifferently: "Brothers will settle accounts clearly. If you want to supply the supply, you need to get the supply contract first. I also need to see how much you give to the previous family. If it is cheaper, it can be cheaper, but don't try to get it for nothing - I also need to dig a well." cost."

Agui smiled and started the electric tricycle: "Don't worry, old cousin, it's all my mother is in charge of, I'll ask my mother to talk to you." After speaking, he drove away quickly.

Xuan Xiaodong shook his head, seeing that he was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had no sense of propriety, and he was not his own brother, so it was useless to talk—the Lin Yiyu who had just met today flashed into his mind, with long curly hair Eyelashes, red lips and white teeth, wearing a neat suit, and wearing a precious watch at night, has grown a lot taller, standing there expensive and arrogant.

Just like many years ago, the little boy stood tall on the steps, asked the housekeeper to throw a suitcase in the entrance, and said to him condescendingly: "You are not welcome in our Lin family."

……

Unexpectedly, he received a call from Chu Ruozhuo that night: "Xiaodong, have you returned safely?"

Xuan Xiaodong responded: "I'm back, thank you Mr. Chu for your concern."

Chu Ruozhuo said: "Hey, don't be so polite, you always call me Mr. Chu, Mr. Chu, I feel very sorry for you, just call me Ruozhuo—I need to find you for something."

"Mr. Sheng called me just now and asked about your situation. He said he was sorry and planned to come to you tomorrow to apologize in person and then transfer the money to you."

Xuan Xiaodong was a little confused when he heard it, and subconsciously refused: "No, there is no need to lose money, I apologized today and I have nothing to lose."

Chu Ruozhuo said: "How can you say that there is no loss, aren't the two red dragons? I heard from Mr. Sheng that he has specially raised them in his office and hired someone to take care of them. Moreover, the two red dragons are of first-class quality and are so popular." Like Liuli. Said it was a waste of your heart, so tomorrow no matter what, I must accompany him to the door."

"There is another important reason. He said it. In fact, he listened to the idyllic scenery I said. He was a little moved and wanted to relax. It was suggested by his psychiatrist. He said that his mental condition is not suitable for surgery. He suggested that he relax first. Take it easy—and said that I am a master of eating, drinking and having fun, let me take it with you, you said, I have received such great favors from him, how could I have the nerve to refuse? Brother, I know you like quietness, so at least I will receive you once and arrange a Chinese meal. I'll try to get him back to the city as soon as possible, okay?"

Xuan Xiaodong was silent for a while and said, "Okay—what does he like to eat? I'll prepare it in advance."

Chu Ruozhuo breathed a sigh of relief: "It's okay, I asked him, and he said he would eat anything, and he has no taboos, so you can do whatever you want with the materials in your hand... I think he is a sick person, you can get something easy to digest That’s enough, then it’s settled, I’ll drive there with him tomorrow.”

Xuan Xiaodong said, "Okay."

But Chu Ruozhuo suddenly remembered something: "There is one more thing. For some reason, Second Young Master Lin also called me today to inquire about you. Said he wanted to buy fish too, but I remembered what happened to Sheng Leilei before, how dare I make trouble for you again, so I pushed and said to ask if you still have fish, but he said that he would buy any kind of fish... But I see him I concealed that I didn't know what I wanted to do, and I was afraid that I would ask for a contact number, address, etc., so I asked for your opinion first."

Xuan Xiaodong was silent for a while and said: "Just say that I don't know you well. If a friend introduced you to buy fish, you have no relationship with him. If he wants to buy fish, just say that I don't sell fish anymore."

Chu Ruozhuo was silent for a while. Lin Yijin was his college classmate, and he owed him some favors a while ago, but his elder brother is an older brother, and his younger brother is a younger brother, so he can still separate them. What's more, Lin Ershao is still a half-brother. Helping Xuan Xiaodong, so he didn't think about prying into Xuan Xiaodong's privacy any more, so he simply said, "Okay, then I'll just go over there and see you tomorrow!"
