Zu Qi heard the conversation between Weng Yuxiang and Xue Jue clearly in the bedroom, and his face flushed into a monkey's butt, and he wished he could just disappear into the quilt.
When Xue Jue returned to the bed with Xue Wan who was still crying, Zu Qi had already wrapped himself into a tight zongzi and lay motionless on the bed pretending to be asleep.
"Are you asleep?" Xue Jue asked.
Zu Qi was silent for a long time, he wanted to sleep directly, but when he heard Xue Wan's heart-breaking cry, he couldn't bear it, so he lifted the quilt covering his head, revealing a red face.
Under the light, Xue Jue stood in front of him holding Xue Wanwan with a helpless face, and said quite at a loss: "Come and see him, I don't know how to coax him."
Zu Qi hugged Xue Wan, and before he had time to speak, he felt that the cry of the little guy in his arms gradually weakened.
"It seems that he really likes you." Xue Jue's eyes were gentle, and his face was so soft that it seemed to overflow with a clear spring, he said as he slowly sat down beside the bed.
After all, it was the child who had given birth to him for a few months. Zu Qi still felt the pain in his heart when he looked at Xue Wan's small appearance with tears running down his nose.
He supported Xue Wan, waited until Xue Jue brought a warm wet towel to carefully wipe the marks on the little guy's face, and then patted his back lightly for a while.
Xu Shi was tired from crying just now, and Xue Wannian narrowed his eyes not long after Zu Qi's soft coax, and gradually fell asleep.
Zu Qi looked at the little guy's silly sleeping face with a funny look, suddenly remembered something, looked up at Xue Jue, but suddenly bumped into Xue Jue and stared at him for a moment.
"… "
Zu Qi, who finally regained his composure, blushed again: "Don't stare at me like that."
Xue Jue chuckled, his handsome face glowed with a soft luster, he seemed to sense his gaffe, and after clearing his throat, he said, "I find you are pretty."
Zu Qi: "..." He really wanted to say, did you know? Isn't this something for all to see
However, there was only a small amount of shame left that prevented him from saying such narcissistic words.
For a moment, Xue Jue had calmly changed the subject: "It stands to reason that a newborn baby has no vision, and will only start to recognize people when it is three or four months old, and I don't know where it is so accurate. The intuition, one by one recognizes it.”
Zu Qi was horrified and said, "That is to say... can't you see anything now?!"
Xue Jue looked helpless, paused for a moment, and said, "It's not that serious. It's equivalent to myopia in our life. It's blurry to see people and things."
Zu Qi was surprised, and at the same time he was surprised and remorseful. He only learned the basic operation of raising children from Weng Yuxiang, but rarely took the initiative to understand these deeper knowledge.
On the contrary, Xue Jue and Weng Yuxiang often took Xue Wan to the hospital for injection examinations, and he was more like a qualified father.
Regarding Zu Qi's unexpected silence, Xue Jue seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, let out a barely audible sigh, and reached out to touch Zu Qi's freshly dried hair.
The fluffy hair felt very good to the touch, like touching a well-behaved and fluffy rabbit, Xue Jue suddenly felt a little reluctant to let go.
"Go to bed earlier, you have something to do tomorrow morning." Xue Jue said.
Zu Qi nodded, put Xue Wan in the middle of the bed, and said good night to Xue Jue.
After turning off the light, the whole bedroom was plunged into darkness. Zu Qi listened to Xue Jue's even breathing in the air. For a time, he was filled with an incredible feeling, as if he was dreaming.
He and Xue Jue are actually together...
When Zu Qi first crossed into this world, he didn't even dare to think about this kind of thing.
With such a mood, Zu Qi fell asleep.
Xue Wan woke up several times in the night, and opened his mouth so hungry that he began to cry. Before Zu Qi could make a move, Xue Jue rolled over and got out of bed, and skillfully picked up Xue Wan and coaxed him and poured milk powder. Zu Qi wanted to help, but was stopped by Xue Jue.
It was like this until dawn, Zu Qi was finally a little sleepy, but Xue Jue got up to wash and dress, and by the way handed over Xue Wan, who was still asleep, to Weng Yuxiang who came to pick him up.
Zu Qi was confused and listened to Xue Jue's rustling voice when he was wearing clothes. His dull brain was running slowly. He hesitated whether to get up and send Xue Jue out of the gate.
After all, they just made a relationship.
But wouldn't that be too proactive? It seems that he is eager to win over his relationship with Xue Jue...
Zu Qi thought about it and couldn't make up his mind.
At this moment, he suddenly felt the bed behind him sink under the force of gravity.
Zu Qi was frightened, and was about to look back to see what was going on, but then he felt darkness in front of him, and then two warm thin lips fell on his cheeks.
"..." Zu Qi's face turned red with a bang, as if there were flames burning and jumping on it.
Xue Jue stopped kissing lightly, and quickly opened the distance between him and Zu Qi. She looked down and saw that the redness on Zu Qi's face spread to the roots of her ears, and she couldn't help laughing: "Good morning kiss."
Zu Qi's eyes fluttered around, he didn't know what to say, he held it for a long time before he let out a low voice.
Xue Jue put her hands on both sides of Zu Qi, looked down at him intently, and couldn't hide the smile on the corner of her mouth: "Don't you say something?"
"...What do I have to say?" Zu Qi muttered unconvincingly.
"For example..." Xue Jue narrowed her eyes and seemed to think for a while, "Kiss back or something."
"..." Zu Qi also said very seriously, "I haven't washed up yet, can you kiss me?"
Xue Jue did not change her expression: "I don't mind."
Zu Qi's mouth twitched a few times, and he suddenly felt that Xue Jue's image of being tall in his heart had collapsed in half.
"But I don't mind." Zu Qi said cruelly and pushed away the man who was half-pressed on him, then got out of bed and pulled up the pajamas and pajamas thrown at the foot of the bed, and slipped into the bathroom.
It's a pity that he forgot to lock the door of the bathroom in a hurry. Halfway through the wash, Xue Jue directly opened the door and squeezed in, catching the prey and gnawing.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zu Qi took the Xue family's car to the place he had made an appointment with Heng Jingchen.
After waiting for about half an hour, the well-armed Heng Jingchen surreptitiously drove a low-key black car in front of Zu Qi and waved at him like a thief.
Zu Qi was wearing a loose long down jacket, and a thick khaki scarf wrapped around his neck twice, just covering the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of big watery eyes.
On Zu Qi's entire face, his eyes are a big plus point. They are beautiful and flexible, as if they can talk. At first glance, they have a very innocent feeling.
Heng Jingchen looked at Zu Qi wrapped in a dark coat from a distance, like a lively rabbit, da da da ran to the front of the car, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down.
I can't help but sigh, just in terms of appearance, Zu Qi is really a real little fresh meat, and it is also one of the favorite styles of current students and girls. He started from such a high starting point, but later experienced too many messy things.
What a pity.
After Zu Qi got into the car and fastened his seat belt, Heng Jingchen quickly restrained his regretful expression, glanced at the other side's still tightly wrapped scarf, and said with a smile, "Is it still cold? I'll turn on the heating a bit. already."
"No need, no need." Zu Qi quickly waved his hand, "I'll be warm after sitting for a while."
Heng Jingchen said as he started the car, "Don't you feel uncomfortable wearing a scarf all the time?"
Hearing this, Zu Qi's face instantly became red, and he put his hands on his knees in an orderly manner, and said a little hard to say: "It's not uncomfortable."
Heng Jingchen was very strange, but seeing Zu Qi insisted so much, it was hard to say anything, so he changed the subject.
The suburb where Heng Jingchen's classmate lived was more than an hour's drive from the city, and the two of them chatted along the way before arriving at their destination.
Before coming, Zu Qi heard Heng Jingchen talk about the situation of this land, saying that the surrounding area has not been developed, either abandoned fields or other farms, anyway, the environment is not very good.
If Zu Qi can successfully settle the land, I am afraid that some people will need to come over to clean it up.
However, the traffic from that place to the city is relatively convenient, and there are direct buses. If Zuqi later recruited workers for the daily planting and maintenance of orchards, it would be very convenient for those workers to enter and leave the city.
It's a pity that this point is not in Zu Qi's consideration for the time being. He needs to find a time to determine whether the Auspicious Three Treasures can come to reality from space, and then re-plan.
Of course, these words cannot be told to Heng Jingchen, Zu Qi can only listen to Heng Jingchen's introduction silently, nodding from time to time.
After getting off the car, the two walked along a sheep intestine path for more than 20 minutes, only to see a rather dilapidated iron gate, and on both sides of the iron gate were high brick and concrete walls extending backwards.
Heng Jingchen was right, this place can indeed be called desolate and uninhabited, all the abandoned farmland overgrown with lush green weeds, and even the farm next to it was separated by a long distance.
Although this kind of place is a bit bad in the eyes of Heng Jingchen, it is not too good for Zu Qi. The apples he sells are of unknown origin. If you want to cover up, you must find a very desolate place as a planting base. .
So far, Zu Qi is very satisfied with this place.
Heng Jingchen took off his mask, walked to the side and called his classmates, and came back shortly after and pushed open the big iron gate.
The door is not locked.
"My classmate hasn't gotten up yet, let's go in by ourselves." Heng Jingchen said a little embarrassedly, "He asked us to walk along this road to the right, and if we saw a small house, it was his dormitory. ."
"Okay." Zu Qi nodded and replied, he could just walk slowly and observe the topography and environment of the farm.
Heng Jingchen said that when there was a chicken plague a while ago, his classmates took out all the livestock in the farm and sold them, and now only the empty shed and a fruit forest planted when they were bored were left.
Zu Qi wanted to see the fruit forest, but Heng Jingchen couldn't find the direction, so the two of them had to go forward to the right.
Obviously, Heng Jingchen came to this place for the first time. Along the way, he took Zu Qi to the road three or four times. After several toss, Heng Jingchen suddenly became angry and called his classmates to pick him up. Zu Qi stood still and waited.
In less than five minutes, a tall and slender figure slowly appeared in Zu Qi's sight.
Before the man approached, he complained silently: "I told you to go straight ahead, and turn right when you encounter a fork, but you turned such a simple road into a maze."
Heng Jingchen ripped off the mask he just put on and stuffed it into his pocket. He stepped forward and pretended to be angry and slapped the man on the shoulder. Take it to the door, and you are still sleeping in the quilt."
The man wasn't annoyed either, he snorted and rubbed his arms shiveringly: "Isn't it cold, if you hadn't come to see me, I wouldn't have gotten out of bed all day today."
"Hey, don't put gold on your face, who came to see you?" Heng Jingchen immediately raised his face, and then pulled Zu Qi, who was standing beside him watching them jokingly, forward, "I I came with my friend, this is Zu Qi, I mentioned him to you before."
After speaking, when Heng Jingchen turned his face to Zu Qi again, he quickly regained his original sunny and friendly smile, and he continued to introduce: "He is Tang Yukuan, you can just call him Akuan."
Zu Qi was stunned for a moment: "Ah Kuan?"
Heng Jingchen raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What? You two know each other?"
"I don't know." Zu Qi suppressed the strange emotions in his heart, and while Tang Yukuan looked at him with meaningful eyes, he twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "I used to have a friend named A Kuan, but he is from Northeast China. ."
"It's a coincidence." Tang Yukuan raised his lips and smiled a little airily, "I'm also from the Northeast."
"..." Zu Qi seemed to have seen a ghost in broad daylight for a moment. He stared at Tang Yukuan for a while in disbelief, and said slowly, "But your accent doesn't sound like a Northeasterner."
Heng Jingchen patted Tang Yukuan's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "That's the accent you haven't heard of him a few years ago, and the mouth is just like a mouthful of Northeast big ballast, maybe it's because you have lived in the imperial capital for a long time. , surrounded by people from the imperial capital, the accent naturally changed."
Tang Yukuan smiled and said, "Although I don't speak like a Northeasterner, my body and height are still very similar."
Heng Jingchen, who was half a head shorter than Tang Yukuan's face sank, and he felt as if an arrow had been hit in his knees, but he still couldn't help but slap Tang Yukuan's broad back.
"I can go to yours. I haven't seen you for so long. You still owe your mouth so much. If you don't want your mouth, can you donate it to those in need?"
"I owe it." Tang Yukuan grimaced the most, "A little bit."
Heng Jingchen: "..."
Until Heng Jingchen squeezed his fists so hard that he was about to clean up, Tang Yukuan, who had been stunned in seconds, was instantly quiet like a chicken.
It can be seen that the relationship between Heng Jingchen and Tang Yukuan is very good. At least during the time when Zu Qi and Heng Jingchen are together, it is rare to see Heng Jingchen so relaxed and happy.
Then Tang Yukuan led Heng Jingchen and Zu Qi around the farm, and stopped by the fruit forest that Zu Qi had always wanted to see.
"My farm has about 120 acres, and other places have been used to build sheds to raise livestock. Only such a small piece of land is not needed temporarily, so I was sent 20 to 30 fruit trees to plant." Tang Yukuan Holding his arms, his face turned blue from the cold, he said while shivering.
Zu Qi stepped forward and touched the trunk, then looked up at the vigorous branches and leaves, and asked, "Apple tree?"
"Yes." Tang Yukuan nodded, "Unfortunately, the fruiting season has already passed. The fruits from these trees are large and crisp, which are very suitable for selling in the market. I originally planted them for fun, but many people ran away. Come and buy apples from me."
Zu Qi suddenly remembered that the most common thing in the space is the apple tree, and he was a little dazed. He observed Tang Yukuan's expression in the corner of the light, and found that the other party was not at all strange, and his words and deeds were normal.
I don't know if Tang Yukuan is the Akuan in the mouth of the three treasures of auspiciousness...
Their nicknames are A Kuan, and they are also from the Northeast. They seem to have a few things in common, but Zu Qi can't think of any way to verify whether Tang Yu Kuan is the A Kuan.
never mind.
I'll ask about the three auspicious treasures later.
At noon, Tang Yukuan served as the host for dinner, and generously took out 200 yuan and took Heng Jingchen and Zu Qi to the nearby farmers market to buy a duck, three crucian carp and a few bags of vegetarian vegetables. .
As an old friend who has known each other for many years, Heng Jingchen has long been accustomed to Tang Yukuan's stinginess. Ge You, with a desperate face, was lying on the sofa blowing the heater, and at the same time he did not forget to complain to Zu Qi: "When will Tang Yukuan be willing? Take the money and invite us to a restaurant, and the sun will come out in the west."
Tang Yukuan was wearing an extra-long cotton-padded coat with an unlit cigarette in his mouth. He was slaughtering fish with a kitchen knife in the kitchen. The sound insulation of the broken house was not good. He listened without a word.
"Damn, Heng Jingchen, you're talking bad about me behind my back!" Tang Yukuan was angry and helpless, shouting inarticulately while smoking a cigarette, "I'll invite you to a restaurant when I'm rich."
Heng Jingchen pouted: "I'm afraid there is no hope for a lifetime."
Although Tang Yukuan didn't have the money to invite them to the restaurant, his cooking skills were really good. The fried ginger duck and ginger sweet and sour fish were both extremely delicious. On top of the white rice, the three people present ate two large bowls in one go.
During the meal, Tang Yukuan told Zu Qi about the selling price of the entire farm.
One mu of land is 30,000 yuan, and 120 mu of land is 3.6 million yuan. It is packaged and sold with everything in the field. Zu Qi keeps it if he needs it, and throws it away when he doesn't need it.
If Zu Qi can accept this price, then Tang Yukuan's only requirement is to get the money as soon as possible, it is best to get 80% of the selling price before completing the formalities - he really needs the money urgently.
Zu Qi said that he needed half a day to think about it and would give an answer before nine o'clock this evening.
Tang Yukuan knew that 3.6 million was not a small sum, and he had already prepared that Zu Qi would not make a decision on the spot, so he readily agreed to Zu Qi's request, got up and started to clean up the dishes.
Seeing that it was almost time, Heng Jingchen said goodbye to Tang Yukuan and prepared to leave with Zu Qi.
Before leaving, Zu Qi secretly took a photo of Tang Yukuan holding a bowl with his head down, and then followed Heng Jingchen full of worries.
On the way back, Heng Jingchen comforted Zu Qi and said, "I'm just acting as a medium for your communication. If you can agree, you will be happy. If you can't agree, forget it. You don't have to buy that piece of land for my sake. I don't want to bear these more than three million favors for that guy, Tang Yukuan."
Hearing this, Zu Qi realized that Heng Jingchen thought that he was embarrassed to reject Tang Yukuan face-to-face when he said he thought about it. , but buying land is not a trivial matter, and I think I should think about it again.”
"So that's how it is..." Heng Jingchen breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed at himself, "I'm self-indulgent."
In the later conversation, Zu Qi learned from Heng Jingchen that Tang Yukuan's mother died early and his father was sick and hospitalized, and he needed a lot of money to hang his life every day.
Tang Yukuan came from a design background, but it was a pity that the money invested in the hospital would be a drop in the bucket. He also thought about expanding the farm left by his father, but it was not that material at all.
After much tossing, Tang Yukuan could only sell the only farm he owned, and the money in exchange could give him a temporary relief.
Originally, Heng Jingchen wanted to give Tang Yukuan five million yuan, but Tang Yukuan was unwilling to accept it, because he had borrowed a lot of money from Hengjingchen in the past two years, and he had not paid it back, so he was ashamed to take it again. Hengjingchen has more money.
Zu Qi was a little embarrassed after hearing this.
If Tang Yukuan is really the Akuan that the three treasures of auspiciousness are thinking of, then it would not be good for him to bring up another unrelated matter when Tang Yukuan was so difficult...
Heng Jingchen drove Zu Qi to the door of Xue's house. As soon as Zu Qi got home, he saw Xiaoya running towards him excitedly.
"Ancestor, I bought everything you asked me to buy at the market." Xiaoya said happily, carrying a full black plastic bag in her hand.
Zu Qi took the bag and opened it to see that there were vegetable seeds clearly packed in various small plastic bags.
"I went to several places and asked some people before I found this shop that said it has the best quality seeds." Xiaoya counted with her fingers, "There are radishes, cabbage, leeks, and cabbage. "
"Thank you, Xiaoya." Zu Qi said gratefully, and asked again after a while, "Where's the fruit tree?"
Xiaoya said: "I bought a bunch of apple and cherry saplings back. It's not convenient to bring them in, so I put them in the front yard. I'll show you."
Zu Qi went upstairs and put the plastic bag with vegetable seeds into the bedroom, and then followed Xiaoya to the front yard.
The well-built and packaged saplings were placed on the stone brick floor and lined up in order. Zu Qi squatted on the side to observe for a while, and then selected two growing trees from the apple sapling pile and the cherry sapling pile. better saplings.
"Help me find a place to store the remaining saplings." Zu Qi stood up and said to Xiaoya with two saplings in his hand.
Xiaoya was too busy to nod her head and say yes.
Zu Qi asked again, "Do you know how to store it?"
"I know, when I went to buy saplings this morning, those uncles said that my ears almost got calluses." Xiaoya sighed.
The saplings that are not used temporarily need to be placed in a cool and ventilated place, and some water should be poured on the roots of the saplings every day, and water should be sprayed on the leaves of the saplings to maintain the vitality of the saplings…
Seeing Xiaoya explaining the method of saving the saplings so smoothly, Zu Qi suddenly felt a little guilty, and he even came up with the idea of arranging Xiaoya to work on the farm he was about to buy.
When Zu Qi was selling meditation powder online before, Xiaoya was a general in the main force.
However, after careful consideration, Zu Qi dismissed the idea. If the news that he could enter the space was accidentally spread out, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Zu Qi passed the living room with two saplings, and happened to meet Weng Yuxiang, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with Xue Wanhua in his arms, looking at the scenery.
Weng Yuxiang glanced at the things in Zu Qi's hand and said strangely: "Xiao Qi, why did you take two saplings?"
"I plan to open an orchard or farm with my friends, so I asked Xiaoya to go to the market to buy some saplings and seeds, and toss it around myself." Zu Qi's face did not blushed and his heart skipped a beat. Excuse.
Weng Yuxiang didn't doubt Zu Qi's words, and said distressedly: "Actually, it's okay for you to film a movie or a show to enrich your life. It's really hard to open an orchard farm, and we don't need you to be so tired under the conditions of our family. make money."
If conditions permit, Zu Qi is naturally happy to be a rice bug.
Before, he was busy making money because he was afraid that something would happen to Xue Jue and the Xue family. With money, he could reduce many potential crises, but now he continues to make money simply because he doesn't want to waste the rich materials in the space.
"I'm just tossing around, I won't waste too much time." Zu Qi said with a smile.
Weng Yuxiang knew that she could not persuade Zu Qi, so she stopped saying anything, and watched Zu Qi take two saplings up to the second floor.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Duan Kai and Xiao Deng Zi came to wait outside the gate of Xue's house in the company's car on time. Zu Qi packed his suitcase, packed vegetable seeds and saplings, and dragged his things to prepare to go out.
Xue Wanwan slept like a little pig in Weng Yuxiang's arms, her white and tender cheeks were pink and she looked very cute.
Zu Qi couldn't help kissing Xue Wan's face, and sighed, "I didn't expect my ugly son to counterattack so quickly."
When Weng Yuxiang heard this, she kept cheering.
"Goodbye, Xue Wenjin." Zu Qi pinched the little guy's fleshy paws and kissed him again. This was the first time he called out Xue Wan's name.
Xue Wenjin.
This name was taken by Zu Qi, and it does not have so many complicated and profound meanings, nor does it have a few master fortune-telling like Xue Jue did before, just two simple words.
Homonymy and quiet.
I hope that kid can be quieter when he grows up, and stop being so noisy.
