A cry brought Xiao Ming's thoughts back to reality. It turned out that Ying Feichi came over and opened the courtyard door when he saw that he hadn't come in for a long time. Ying Feichi was still holding a bamboo basket in his hand. fruit.

"Why are you in a daze? Come in." Ying Feichi led him in, took him to a stone table in the yard and sat down.There is a shelf on the top of the stone table, and there are many vines on it, which should be things like grapes.

It's winter now. Although there is no snow in the winter in South China, the wind in the mountains is very strong, and it is still very cold outside. You have to wear gloves and scarves when you go out.But the yard was very warm. Xiao Ming felt hot as soon as he sat down, so he hurriedly took off his scarf, gloves and cotton coat.

"Come, drink tea and eat fruit." Ying Feichi smiled, and just finished speaking, the wet bamboo basket and wooden tray flew onto the stone table.There are two teacups and a teapot on the tray, and the green fruit in the yard is in the bamboo basket.

"Thank you." Xiao Ming felt a little uncomfortable, wiped his hands on his trousers, took a sip of tea, I don't know what kind of tea it is, it has a delicate fragrance and aftertaste, it is quite delicious.Ying Feichi smiled, and pushed the fruit basket towards him a little, Xiao Ming hurriedly took a fruit to eat.The fruit is the size of a duck egg, with a green skin on the outside.One bite, it is crisp and delicious, and the sweet taste immediately spreads to the taste buds.

"What kind of fruit is this?" Xiao Ming looked at the milky white flesh inside, and said in surprise, "It doesn't seem to be sold on the street."

"This is the fruit you will grow in the future, called milk jujube." Ying Feichi smiled. "By the way, is the agreement settled?"

"Yeah." Xiao Ming ate the milk dates in two bites, threw the fruit pits into the bamboo basket by the table, wiped his hands on his pants, and took out the agreement in his pocket. "Teacher Ying, look."

Ying Feichi took it over and looked at it, then returned the agreement to him: "Just write the agreement. Xiao Ming, what do you think about the orchard?"

"Ah?" Xiao Ming widened his eyes, pointed at himself and said, "Me? Teacher Ying, what can I think? Whatever you say, I'll do it."

"No." Ying Feichi shook his head with a smile, "The orchard is not mine, it's yours. If I do everything, what's the point of letting you contract the orchard? What if Zhou Man and I are not here one day, the orchard There is something else to deal with, what are you going to do?"

"I..." Xiao Ming was at a loss for words for a moment.

"Xiao Ming, I brought up the matter of Zhouba, so that you can learn to do it yourself, handle things by yourself, and exercise your skills. In this way, if Zhou Man and I are not in the village one day, you can also handle things by yourself ,Do you understand?"

"Hmm... seems to understand..." Xiao Ming hesitated in response.

Ying Feichi smiled: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you will understand after doing more. Didn't you say that you can do what I say? The first thing I want you to do now is that the orchard needs to make the embankment well first. You have to write me a plan, how do you want to do it, what materials to use, which people, what spells, and what to do on the embankment, write it all out for me. The plan is passed by me, you Only then can we build the embankment."

"Me? Write a plan?" Xiao Ming immediately turned pale, waved his hands and said, "Teacher Ying, I can't do it! I can't write!"

"Everyone can't do it sometimes, and if you can't, you can learn." Ying Feichi smiled gently, but didn't give up an inch, and said slowly, drinking tea. "If you don't know which spells to use, go to the database to check. If you don't know what to do, you can talk to someone. You have been in the village for so long, don't you have a good brother?"

"I..." Xiao Ming hesitated. Although Ying Feichi smiled, he felt that everything this person said could not be refuted.He had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Then... I'll ask someone."

"Very good." Ying Feichi nodded, "Xiao Ming, anyone who does something for the first time, the result will be terrible. The plan you submit for the first time will definitely be approved by me, but If you give up completely because of one failure, it would be a disappointment to my trust in you."

I don't know why, when Xiao Ming thought of failing him and disappointing him, Xiao Ming felt very uncomfortable, as if he had committed some serious crime, and he couldn't forgive himself.He stood up and said earnestly: "Teacher Ying, don't worry, I will definitely do well and will not give up!"

Ying Feichi nodded with a smile, but did not speak.

But he acted as if he had given important trust, Xiao Ming blushed all of a sudden, and said hesitantly: "Then...then, Mr. Ying, I, I'll go back first, I'll hurry up and make some plans .”

"Okay, don't give up, and don't be too impatient." Ying Feichi urged, pushing the bamboo basket on the table. "This is for you, take it back and eat it, there are too many knots in the yard, Zhou Man and I can't finish it."

Xiao Ming was embarrassed to ask for it at first, but when he thought that it was picked and washed by Teacher Ying himself, he couldn't bear it, so he hesitated and picked it up. "Teacher Ying, I'm going back then."

Ying Feichi stood up and watched Xiao Ming leave the bamboo house and disappear at the corner of the path.Just when I was about to go back to the house, I heard a joking voice behind me saying: "Both Zhou Man and I can't finish eating—I don't know who can eat a big basket a day, so I'm ashamed to say that I can't finish it?"

"Oh!" Ying Feichi's calm and elegant teacher image collapsed immediately, he turned around and grabbed Zhou Man's arm and bared his teeth: "Why are you tearing me down? How can you call me a teacher if they hear it? Just laugh at me. How is the big kid?"

"Look at you now, why aren't you a brat?" Zhou Man pinched his cheek with a smile, then lowered his head and rubbed it with his cheek.Ying Feichi also hugged his neck and refused to let go, "Why are you back?"

"Mr. Ying, it's noon, why don't I go home for lunch?"

"Why don't you dare? Come on, come on, the president has worked hard. Today I have pork ribs stewed rice at noon, and the vegetable seedlings sent by Aunt Lian and the others. They are very fresh. I will make soup when you come back."

Ying Feichi told Xiao Ming to ask his brother for help, not casually. When Xiao Ming asked him if it was okay to build an orchard, Ying Feichi quickly contacted Uncle Wu Dong and the elementary school teacher Wang Jianhua.Wu Dong and Wang Jianhua told Ying Feichi that although Xiao Ming is timid and introverted, he is very good at playing cards, and all the young people in the village like to play with him.Xiao Ming has three good brothers, nicknamed Mao Gang, An Yong, and Mao Qing.The four families live very close together and are about the same age. Xiao Ming is the oldest, 24 years old, Mao Gang and An Yong are 19 years old, and Mao Qing is only 15 years old.The education levels of the three are all at the junior high school level, and Mao Qing dropped out of school when he was still in the first year of junior high school, and went around casually in the village.In terms of cultivation level, the four of them are a bit horrible. Xiao Ming is in the late stage of Qi refining, Mao Gang and An Yong are in the middle stage of Qi refining, and Mao Qing is only in the early stage of Qi refining.

"Oh, forget it, at least there is still an early stage of qi refining." Ying Feichi comforted himself, "If the qi refining fails, it will be called bad."

Xiao Ming acted very quickly, and submitted the plan within a few days.Ying Feichi took it and took a few glances, and when he looked up, he saw Xiao Ming's face pale with nervousness.

"Mr. Ying, what do you think?"

Ying Feichi shook his head: "Let's not talk about the content first, your plan...is it drawn?"

Xiao Ming looked at the crooked lines on the white paper, nodded his head with difficulty, scratched his head and said, "I... our writing is too ugly."

"This won't work." Ying Feichi said, "If you want to write it out, you will become the contractor of the orchard. How can you do it if you can't write well? In the future, you will sign contracts with many large fruit markets in the city. Timid, what will you do in the future?"

"I..." Xiao Ming wanted to cry but had no choice but to take the plan back.

"How is it?" As soon as he got home, the other three surrounded him. "Did Ying Feichi be surprised by the plan that our Four King Kong came up with? Did it scare him? Haha!"

"Yeah, I was scared." Xiao Ming slapped the plan on the table and sat down weakly. "He didn't even look at the content, he just glanced at our picture and said no."

"Why?"

"He said that those who want text can't draw pictures. To be honest, I just took a look at our pictures on the road. I didn't know what was what when I drew it. Now I look at it, and I don't understand anything."

"Isn't it? You drew it yourself, why are you so stupid?" Mao Qing grabbed the blueprint and unfolded it, "I'm so stupid, come on, the hero Mao Qing will tell you where is where. That...here..."

Xiao Ming glanced at him lazily, "What do you mean, what is this place? What does drawing a cross here mean?"

"Uh..." Mao Qing looked up at the sky and laughed. "That, my hero forgot."

Just to put it bluntly, I can't even understand this ghostly painting talisman, so why did I show it to Ying Feichi?Even gods don't understand?

"I mean Xiao Ming." Mao Gang asked suddenly, "Why did you suddenly want to contract this orchard? You still have to spend so much time and effort, isn't it good that we usually do that?"

"I don't think so." Xiao Ming said lazily, "You only have one child in your family, so I can't understand it. We have many brothers and sisters, and there are only so many mountains. When the time comes, we don't know what the mountain will look like. Moreover, I don’t want to always tell people that I’m useless, but I’m still a man, right? People always say that this person just depends on his parents?”

Mao Gang and An Yong looked at each other and spread their hands: "I'm sorry, I don't understand."

"Alas..." Xiao Ming sighed, looked at the clouds in the sky and said, "I just want people to think highly of me."

"Uh..." Mao just didn't understand why this person who usually scolded his mother when he played cards suddenly became like this. He looked like the heroine on TV, who couldn't cry to the clouds in the sky, right?An Yong patted Xiao Ming on the shoulder: "We can't understand it, but we brothers will definitely support what you want to do. Anyway, we have nothing to do. It's not bad to play with you to pass the time."

"Yeah, don't cry, it's so ugly."

Xiao Ming smiled: "Okay, let's make a good plan together and give Teacher Ying a nod. I can't do it, four big men can't figure out a fart plan!"

Uh, it seems that 15 years old can't be considered a big man?Mao Qing thought silently. 【98】
