MTL - Shanwa Small Rich Farmers-Chapter 707 to be a guest
Early in the morning, Wen Xu took Xiaoyao after dinner, went out for a stroll, and just returned to the gate of his own yard. Before entering the yard, he heard the voices of Wen Shida and Wen Shigui from the yard.
Stepping into the courtyard, Wen Xu said to Xiao Yao: "Go and pour some water for the uncles!"
Hearing what Wen Xu said, Wen Shigui immediately stood up: "No need, we are waiting for you to set off together!"
"So early?" Wen Xu looked at the sun that hadn't risen much above his head. At this time, there are probably only a few families in the village who have just finished breakfast. This is when there are children in the family who go to school. If there are no children in the family, what will happen? I guess I've just been cooking, so I don't need to look at other houses. When Wen Xu looks up here, the chimney of Mr. Chi's house next door has just smoked.
Wen Shida also stood up, and then said: "How early is it? Look at what time it is now. It will be nine o'clock in a while. Can you be more diligent when you are a guest?"
Wen Xu looked at the watch on his wrist, and asked Wen Shida: "Third brother, you are now fifty minutes away, so it will be a while?"
It was only ten past eight, but he opened his mouth and said that it would be nine o'clock in a while, which is really long enough for him.
Wen Shida lowered his head and patted the watch on his hand, probably because the watch was expensive, and he was not willing to take it too hard: "Oh, my watch may be fast for a while!"
Wen Xu didn't want to answer his words at all, but he could tell that the old brothers felt like they were being scratched by cats. He was willing to go to Wang Zhe's place to listen to some Peking opera masters like Yu Hezhi. .
"I know you guys are in a hurry, but let's go now, and we will be at the door of the house before nine o'clock. Maybe they won't be able to get up yet. How embarrassing it is to go to the house?" Wen Xu persuaded.
Wen Shiqing thought for a while and said to Lao Keliang: "Shixu is right, why don't we wait a while?"
Wen Shida then sat back on the couch in the courtyard: "Then let's wait for a while! Xiaoyao, yes, bring the chess board over to Uncle San, and play two games with Uncle San along the way!"
Xiao Yao said with a smile when he heard the words: "I can't accompany you today, I'm going to my grandfather's place to practice calligraphy soon, you should find someone else to accompany you!"
After speaking, Xiaoyao trotted towards the house, and went to fetch chess for Wen Shida.
"You guys sit down first, I'll go into the room to wash off, I just came back covered in sweat!" Wen Xu said, pointing to the sweat running out of his body.
Wen Shida said: "Why did you change to running today, the old man didn't mention you two?"
"Master has a friend here today, and he is chatting with his friend now. He didn't come to see his three young disciples today, so how could he have time to mention us!" Wen Xu said with a smile, then turned his head and entered the room.
The old Taoist came today with a friend. I heard that he was an old friend. Wen Xu originally wanted to visit, but he told the old Taoist that it was none of your business, so he honestly shrank back home.
Waiting for Xiaoyao to marry the chessboard, and by the way, make another plate of peanuts and melon seeds for the three old men, and the three old men just play chess quietly and watch alone.
Wen Xu took a shower, changed clothes, went downstairs, told Shi Shangzhen who was playing on the carpet with the child, and went out.
Shi Shangzhen asked: "When will you be back in the afternoon?"
"Maybe! Why, is there anything else to do this afternoon?" Wen Xu thought for a while and replied.
"It's okay, I just asked this casually! You are not here, and the master is not here. It is a bit difficult for me to look after the three children alone. In case I have something to do, I have to find someone to take care of it." Shi Shangzhen said.
Wen Xu said: "It's okay, even if you have something to do, you can leave your son to Dongliang, Dahua and Erhua to watch over, besides, there are cameras at home, you can use your mobile phone to see the situation of the three children anytime, anywhere, what are you afraid of?" ?”
"It will take at least a few minutes to get back. If something happens, I'm afraid it will come soon." Shi Shang is really afraid of leaving the child alone at home.
This Wen Xu felt that there was no other way. In fact, there is nothing wrong with letting the three children stay at home. Whether it is the pillar or the second flower, even the big flower is a good hand at taking care of the children. It is only out of maternal love that drives Shi Shangzhen. In Wen Xu's view, worrying is a bit overdone. In the past, children and adults in the village often put them on the small bed at home when they went to work in the field. After waiting for a few hours, the work was done, and the children could only be seen when they returned home. Isn't it the same? Long and good.
"Then you can find someone to look after it, the third sister-in-law happens to be at home with a child, please ask her to take care of it," Wen Xu said.
Hearing what Wen Xu said, Shi Shangzhen nodded: "OK!"
The third sister-in-law is Wen Shida's daughter-in-law, and her little girl is only a few months younger than the three boys in Wen Xu's family. The cousins just happen to be able to play together, except for the occasional fight, there is nothing wrong with it. It's like this for a child, there is no overnight feud, and after playing around, the face becomes better again.
After the family affairs were settled, Wen Xu took the small gift for Wang Zhe and walked into the yard.
Placing the things in his hands on the couch, Wen Xu was about to stand by and watch the old brothers play chess for a while.
"What are you preparing for?" Wen Shigui glanced at the things Wen Xu put on the couch.
"It's nothing, a few tea leaves, and two bottles of self-brewed red wine" said Wen Xu.
The tea warmly gifted to others is of course the orthodox Fuzeyan. Now it is a big deal to give this thing, a catty a catty, and the annual spring and autumn seasons add up to a few hundred catties, which is not even heard in the whole country. Not enough, as the fame comes up, the price also goes up all the way. It's not that Wen Xu is stingy, it's a bit scary to give a catty to the price, if you meet a fastidious person, it will make it difficult for them to return this gift, so Wen Xu wrapped up a half or two.
As soon as Wen Xu mentioned wine here, Wen Shigui opened his mouth and asked: "You sell dozens of bottles of this wine a year, do you make money?"
The tea in Wenjia Village is gratifying, and the price has risen so much that you don’t want to, but Wenxu’s own red wine is just the opposite. Both the quality and the packaging are first-class, and the price is expensive enough, but the real sales volume is very low. Unsatisfactory, just as Bingshi predicted, the American high-end market of Chinese red wine does not recognize it, that is to say, Joe’s self-operated restaurant can sell seven or eight bottles a year, and some American wines are completely liked The wine bottle, which was bought with money, sold less than 50 bottles in total last year, and the remaining nearly 200 bottles are staying in Joe's wine cellar. It can be said that Kui’s pants are almost gone. Fortunately, both Wenxu, Qiao and Yan Dong have leggings inside, and they don’t rely on them to make money.
Wen Shida and Wen Xu's family are very close. The child is about the same age. He knew about it, so he said, "What are you earning! A bottle costs a few thousand less, and the price of a bottle of wine is still a knife. How many can drink?"
"Then don't do it! Once the small winery opens, it will cost a lot of money to hire workers for a year." Wen Shiqing looked down at the situation in front of him, and said something along the way.
Wen Xu smiled and said: "It's okay, you can resist, let's play!"
Wen Xu also wanted to quit playing a little bit, but Qiao wanted to continue playing, so it was difficult for Wen Xu to say quit.
Everyone knew that Wen Xu had rice in his pocket, so after saying one sentence, he stopped talking.
At this time, the mobile phone in Wen Xu's pocket rang, and he took it out to see that it was Wang Zhe calling. After answering the phone and chatting for a few words, Wen Xin smiled and said to the three elder brothers: "Let's go, I asked over there, let's call." When will it be?"
The three of them had heard it when Wen Xu answered the phone just now, and they had already stood up and waited to leave.
"What are you doing?" Wen Shigui stopped Wen Xu.
Wen Xu said in amazement: "Go by car!"
"What kind of car is he driving? His house is near Wanglizhuang. If you drive a detour, everyone should go on horseback," Wen Shigui said.
Hearing what Wen Shigui said, Wen Xu thought for a while and found that it was true. If you were driving, you could only go around the old town. If you were riding a horse, you could go along the foot of the mountain and go directly to the old stone bridge at the entrance of the village. Go straight there, saving half of the way.
"Okay, let's ride the horse!" Wen Xu said.
"Then let's meet at the entrance of the village," Wen Shida said.
Everyone had no objections, and the elder brothers had also discussed and came here, so the four of them split up and led the horses. Wen Xu called Erbai, put on the saddle, hung the gifts on the saddle, got on the horseback and turned to the horse path behind his courtyard, and ran along the horse path towards the entrance of the village.
There is a special bridle path in the village now, which is learned from foreigners. There are green grass in the middle of the half-person-high white fence on both sides, which is quite stylish. When it was first built, there were people here every day. Now, after everyone gets used to it, there are fewer people on the horse path, but if you ride slowly, there will be rows of weeping willows on both sides, and the green road will be shaded. When a little wind blows, the light and shadow Mottled, the shadows of the trees whirling, it is more poetic and picturesque than when it first opened.
When we arrived at the entrance of the village, the three elder brothers were already waiting. Seeing Wen Xu running towards him, the three elder brothers urged the dismounted horse to trot before Wen Xu arrived.
Wen Xu had to rush Erbai a bit, and it took two or three minutes to catch up with the elder brothers.
The five-meter-wide bridle path is quite spacious for four horses running two fronts and two backs. At this time, there are no people, let alone horse riders, and there are not many cars on the nearby road out of the village. Wenjia Village has just 'woke up', and the tourists haven't come out for activities yet.
After leaving the village, the bridle road disappeared naturally. After running for about a mile along the side of the road, an old stone bridge appeared on the side of the river fork. With a few stone slabs, which are more than one meter wide, new riders may not dare to urge the horses to go. Naturally, Wen Nu and the others are fine, urging the horses to pass by.
On the other side, although the terrain was very undulating, the four of them urged their horses to gallop, because this place looked flat, but a rabbit hole emerged out of nowhere, and if the horse's hoof stepped in, it would be dangerous. After playing for fun, a horse might be reimbursed with one kick, so the four urged the horse to trot all the way to the address Wang Zhe gave.
The four brothers Wen Xu saw Wang Zhe's house when they were far away. In fact, it’s impossible not to find out. Wang Zhe’s house is not in the village but on the hillside. To be precise, it is on the top of a hill. The whole hill is just one house, and it has milky white walls and a blue roof. How many jumps between trees.
Arriving at the top of the hill, Wen Shigui looked at the house in front of him and couldn't help but smiled, turned his head and said to the Wen Xu three next to him: "This house has a smell!"
Wang Zhe’s house is not an antique one, but a completely modern one. It’s still a ‘one-storey house’, that is, it only has one floor. Although it’s only one floor, it shouldn’t be too small from where Brother Wenxu is a few stations away.
Wen Shida interjected: "That's for sure. If you don't have two dollars on hand, can you buy a place and build a house in this place? Not to mention other ordinary people, it is estimated that the water and electricity will be enough, not to mention the vertical solar panels next to it. generators."
"Let's go, we're all here, why don't you stop, go early and have a look!" After speaking, Wen Shiqing urged the horse to take the lead and trot towards the house.
The remaining brothers smiled and urged the horse to follow.
When they got to the side of the house, the brothers were surprised by Wang Zhe's exquisite small courtyard. There was a circle of fences at the entrance of the house, and yam eggs were climbing on the fence. The white swimming pool, a few gray parasols, not to mention the architecture, the simple version of the Jiangnan style architecture, has a Chinese shadow but is more modern and simple. Except for a few white walls, you can directly see it from the front Look across the building to the woods behind the house.
"Woof! Woah! Woah!"
A few people had just reined in their horses and stood still, when there was a loud barking sound from the courtyard.
