Chapter 12: Driving Snakes, Rats, Insects and Ants away
I never thought that Yang Fan said: "Rent, I will continue to rent."
Li Wenlin was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you want to rent?"
Grandma Xu disagreed, "Why are you renting it? Now you can't eat anything grown on the land in the village."
She can easily solve the problem of not being able to eat anything grown on the land. So much land is ready-made fruit trees, and she can also find a lot of free labor.
Moreover, the fruits grown in this village are all spiritual fruits, which are much more valuable than ordinary fruits.
Easily realize the dream of the rich second generation.
How can you not rent it? Rent it! Keep renting!
Yang Fan insisted on his opinion, "Rent, Uncle Li, I will continue to rent!"
"Yang Fan, the fruits on those trees are really not delicious!" Grandma Xu said bitterly. He advised, "How much money has your uncle lost over the years? If you continue to rent, you will really continue to lose money."
Li Wenlin also said: "Yeah, Yang Fan, you have to think carefully. Those fruit trees your uncle planted didn't earn a penny."
"Grandma Xu, Uncle Li, I understand what you said, thank you. You think about me.”
That’s right!
Grandma Xu and Li Wenlin thought that their words had persuaded Yang Fan, but unexpectedly she said it again in a very firm tone.
“I learned some planting techniques in the city, and I believe I will be able to grow delicious fruits!”
Grandma Xu: "..."
Li Wenlin: "..."
He really wanted to ask her a question that even the top soil scientists and agronomy experts in the country could not solve. , where did she get the confidence to guarantee that she would be able to grow edible fruits.
But for fear of dampening the enthusiasm of young people, Li Wenlin adopted a roundabout way of saying, "There is still one month left when the rent is due, and you should consider it during this time."
"You can draw it the day after tomorrow. Come to the village committee to see me when the time comes, and I will show you all the reports issued by the previous experts.”
Yang Fan nodded, "Okay, thank you Li..."
"Why are you waiting for the day after tomorrow? Let's go today." Grandma Xu is impatient, "Why are you waiting for the day after tomorrow? You young people like to procrastinate when doing things."
Li Wenlin smiled helplessly, "Auntie, it's not that I won't show it to Yang Fan today. I have something to do today and I have to go to the city and won't come back until tomorrow afternoon."
"You go. What are you doing in the city?”
Li Wenlin: “There is something to do”
He needs to keep specific things confidential and cannot tell others casually.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Grandma Xu also understood and did not continue to ask, "Okay, then you can go about your business. I will accompany Yang Fan to find you the day after tomorrow."
Li Wenlin : "Okay."
The two of them just agreed, and Yang Fan couldn't say a word.
Li Wenlin left, and Yang Fan said she wanted to visit the village alone and see the trees left by her uncle, so Grandma Xu went back first.
She first went to the fields on the opposite side. No one was taking care of them. The weeds in these fields were almost as high as her thighs.
She picked up a stick on the roadside and pushed aside the grass. Suddenly a cobra suddenly jumped out of the grass and bit her with its mouth open.
Yang Fan reacted quickly. He swung his stick down, making a sound of breaking through the air. The edge of the stick shone with cold light like a blade. Suddenly, the cobra was split into two halves and fell into the grass.
Listening to the rustling sounds coming from the grass, she snorted coldly and said coldly to the empty grass.
“These are not places where you should stay. Be smart and stay in the mountains. Don’t appear in front of others. Otherwise, don’t blame me for making you drink!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the stick was inserted heavily into the ground, and the powerful spiritual power surged out like a wave, covering the entire village. After a while, the rustling sound coming from the grass became louder.
If anyone walks around the village now, he will definitely see countless snakes, rats, insects, ants, pheasants, weasels, foxes, and these rare animals running towards the mountains.
"Ah! There is a snake!"
Aunt Zhang walked out of the house with a basin of water. When she looked up, she saw a snake as thick as her forearm climbing over the wall of her courtyard. Ran outside.
She was so frightened that she couldn't hold the basin in her hand, and it fell to the ground with a loud noise, splashing water all over her body.
Her husband heard the noise and came out, "Xiumei, where is the snake?"
Aunt Zhang's full name was Zhang Xiumei. Her face turned pale with fright, and she pointed at the snake crawling out. The courtyard wall said: "There, I saw a very thick snake crawling out from there."
God damn it! The snake was in her yard when and how long it had been there.
Zhang Xiumei got goosebumps all over when she thought that there was a snake in the yard without her knowledge.
Aunt Zhang's husband, Fu Yonghui, picked up the hoe and walked around the wall. He found a hole in the corner inside. The hole was round and big. It was obvious that something had been there before.
“Good guy, this is a nest in my house!”
Fu Yonghui vented his anger by hitting the hole several times with a hoe, and then dug around the house. I looked around outside to make sure there were no snakes around before I felt relieved.
Aunt Zhang was still worried, "You'd better go to the street and buy some realgar powder, as well as some insecticide and mosquito coils."
With fewer people in the village, mosquitoes are overflowing. .
She also has a constitution that attracts mosquitoes, which makes her miserable every summer.
“You remember to buy some better mosquito coils, the mosquito coils you had last year weren’t very useful.”
“Also, Yangyang’s express delivery has arrived, you remember to get it back for him. "
Fu Yonghui accepted everything. He was just a little confused, "Why did Yangyang's luggage come back?"
Yangyang is his eldest daughter's son. He is five years old this year.
In the past, I would stay for a few days and then go back, just bring a small suitcase with me. Why did you send your luggage back this time?
Zhang Xiumei: "Cancan's mother-in-law and father-in-law are sick and hospitalized. Jiahao is on a business trip again. Yangyang doesn't have anyone to take care of her, so she sent her over to take care of her for a few days."
It's been so long. She has met her grandson and she misses him too.
Fu Yonghui exclaimed in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me about such an important thing?!"
"Is it useful to tell you? Their home is so far away. Could it be that you She has to go over and take care of her parents-in-law.”
Zhang Xiumei pushed him outside impatiently, "Hurry up and buy the things."
He didn't know about such an important thing until now.
Fu Yonghui rode a tricycle towards the town with a depressed look on his face.
After he left, Zhang Xiumei was still worried and took a hoe to check every room again. She was afraid that there was a snake hiding in the house.
Old people from other families were sitting in the yard chatting in the sun, not paying attention to what was going on around them.
Grandpa Li had been riding a tricycle all morning and had just eaten breakfast at this time. He asked Grandma Xu, "Has Yang Fan had breakfast?"
"Yes," Grandma Xu said, "I still have breakfast after breakfast. Go to Xiuwen's place with her."
She also told Grandpa Li about her encounter with Li Wenlin. After finishing her words, she said to Grandpa Li with a worried look on her face: "Continue with that. You will lose money if you rent it. Later, you can persuade Yang Fan not to continue renting those lands.”
