Chapter 691 Borrowing the East Wind!(1/2)
"It went very smoothly. The head of the patriarch Zhu Menghai took Zhu Menghai to visit the grave early this morning." Sikong Lei replied with a smile.
"That's good." Liu Xing nodded.
As long as everything goes well, he can go back early.
"By the way! Where is Senior Lin?" Liu Xing looked around.
"I didn't see him. You didn't see anyone after you slept last night." Sikong Lei replied casually.
"It should be a rest." Liu Xing looked at the time: "Have you eaten breakfast? If you haven't eaten, let's go and buy some from the villagers."
"Okay." Sikong Lei took Liu Xing toward a nearby villager's home.
From a distance, I could smell the aroma of steamed sweet potato rice.
When the woman who was busy in the kitchen saw Liu Xing and Sikong Lei coming, she hurriedly greeted her: "You haven't had breakfast yet! Wait first, the steamed rice of sweet potatoes will be ready soon."
"Okay!" Liu Xing sat casually on the stool beside him.
Sikong Lei stood and sucked cigarettes.
After a while, the woman brought two large bowls of steamed sweet potato rice with two eggs on it.
Liu Xing took out 100 yuan and handed it to the woman: "You keep this money. I left anxiously when I came. I didn't buy candy for the children in the village. If you have time to help buy it, it's my intention."
The reason why I only gave one hundred yuan was that I was afraid that the woman would not dare to accept it if she gave it too much.
However, what Liu Xing did not expect was that the hundred yuan was still too much.
It makes the woman so nervous that she doesn't know what to do.
She almost knelt down: "Benefactor, you built a bamboo bridge to the outside world for us in Xiangxi, but we didn't give a penny. Today, you come to me for breakfast and give me so much money. Then, my old Zhao family in Xiangxi will be drowned by the spits!"
"I said this is the money to buy candy for the children. Don't you understand what I mean?" Liu Xing hurriedly stepped forward and helped the woman. He had a headache for a while and didn't know what to say.
"The best milk candy in Xiangxi costs only three yuan per pound. It won't cost so much for those naughty ghosts." The woman explained repeatedly.
"Let's study for the thin girl last night! As long as she wants, I will support her in college." Liu Xing put the money in the woman's hands, with seriousness in his eyes.
"You are talking about Aidodo, are you giving you tea?" the woman hesitated for a moment and then asked.
"Well, it's her." Liu Xing nodded.
"That's good, I'll take the money for her." The woman didn't know what sad things happened, and her eyes suddenly turned red. After collecting the 100 yuan, she ran to a thatched cottage to the west.
Liu Xing did not pay attention to the woman anymore, but picked up the steamed sweet potato rice in the bowl and started eating slowly.
"Liu Xing." Sikong Lei also picked up his job: "It's not enough to support a child in college for one hundred yuan. I can see that the woman just now treats you as a god. Don't let her down!"
"The money problem is easy to solve." Liu Xing looked up at the surrounding environment of the village: "Don't worry, this time I came to Xiangxi, not only to solve the economic problems of the villagers, but also to solve the children's schooling problem."
"It's all the children." After Liu Xing said this, he mysteriously stopped talking, but picked up the rice bowl and continued to eat steamed sweet potato rice.
Sikong Lei glanced at Liu Xing. He wanted to know Liu Xing’s specific plan.
But he swallowed it when he said something.
Because if Liu Xing was willing to tell him, he would never be like this.
After half of the sweet potato porridge of the two, Xiao Peanut came over with Qianqian.
However, they were not interested in sweet potato porridge, but instead set their sights on the April Pipa at the door.
Looking at the golden and plump pipa, it should be ripe.
But Liu Xing knew that the little peanuts and Qianqian could not be picked and eaten randomly.
Because maybe it is the fruit tree used by the villagers in the village to increase their income.
Just as I was about to stop Xiao Peanut and Qianqian's foodie behavior.
The woman who made them steamed rice with sweet potatoes appeared in front of him with Aidodo.
Aiduoduo changed into a red dress today, looking very energetic.
But his thin appearance has not changed.
After she looked at Liu Xing with a shy smile, she took out a bag of tea ears hidden behind her and placed them on a short stool beside her.
"You picked it early in the morning?" Liu Xing opened the bag and was surprised to see that the tea ears were very fresh.
Aiduoduo did not answer, but just lowered his head shyly.
The woman next to her smile explained, "Duoduo's child is in a miserable life! He lost his parents very early, and the conditions in the village are not good, so no one cares about her. Basically, she can only eat one meal of rice every day, and the rest of the breakfast is filled with the wild game in the village. Now is the season for tea ears to ship, so she can only eat tea ears every day."
Tea ears in western Hunan have dragon and tiger meat to maintain market share, so they would not have to worry about sales.
But since the Phoenix Grass disappeared, the dragon and tiger meat disappeared.
This resulted in the fact that tea ears in Xiangxi were not sold at all, and eventually became unwilling to the point.
Otherwise, the people in our village could still make some living expenses by relying on tea ears.
Now, it has no other purpose except for treating it as a snack for children.
Liu Xing didn't know the inside story, and Sikong Lei didn't know it either. He asked the woman: "If you only eat tea, can you eat enough?"
Liu Xing was also curious.
But he knew the answer was definitely not enough to eat.
If I could eat enough, Aiduoduo would not have been so thin.
After shook his head with distress, he said, "Duoduo, do you want to study?"
"I don't want to go out to work with you. I heard from the head of the Zhuang clan that you have opened several large factories. How about I work in your factory? I don't want money, just eat enough." Aiduoduo mustered up the courage to look at Liu Xing, hesitated for a long time before he said the words in his heart.
Liu Xing laughed when he heard this: "I don't recruit child laborers. Besides, if you don't study and don't even recognize words, how can you do things well in the factory?"
"But...but I'm ten years old. Will it be too late to study in this grade?" Aidoduo asked biting his lip.
"Ambition is not about being old. As long as you are willing to study, it is not too late to study at the age of fifty." Liu Xing replied softly.
"I understand." Aidoduo's eyes lit up.
After looking at the woman beside her, she said, "But when I was studying, no one would find anything for me to eat. What if I starve to death? I still want to be like my brother!"
"Hahaha..." Liu Xing was amused.
Sikong Lei also smiled: "Silly child, as long as you study hard, your living expenses, and all other expenses are paid for you, you just need to study hard to repay him."
"No! Now I can't help but pay the money." Liu Xing saw Zhu Menghai following the head of the patriarch Zhuang and walked towards him, and suddenly denied Sikong Lei's words.
Sikong Lei was stunned. After seeing Zhu Menghai, he suddenly woke up.
This Liu Xing would not want to rely on Zhu Menghai’s recognizing relatives.
Let Metkai invest in Xiangxi!
If it is true.
Liu Xing is really a monster.
A monster who cares about the people of Xiangxi.
As soon as this thought came to an end, Lin Wuxie hurriedly emerged from the forest opposite, with traces of injuries on his body.
"What's wrong with you?" Sikong Lei quickly met him.
"Come with me." Lin Wuxie originally wanted to meet with Liu Xing, but after seeing the figures of Maitkai, Zhu Menghai and others, he changed his mind and took Sikong Lei to the corner of the uninhabited.
Liu Xing wanted to keep up.
But he was stopped by the patriarch Zhuang: "Liu Xing, don't leave today. I want to hold a bonfire party in the village so that all villagers can know Zhu Menghai's identity. You can't run away at that time."
"I'm afraid this won't work. I have to go back before noon because I have to study tomorrow!" Liu Xing directly refused politely.
"What should I do?" Zhuang Clan Chief turned around and looked at Zhu Menghai.
Obviously, Zhu Menghai's attention was left when Liu Xing attended the bonfire party.
Liu Xing said: "I think the bonfire party will be more meaningful in the future, because there are several things that are imperative in the village at present."
"Oh?" Clan Zhuang listened carefully.
Zhu Menghai also became interested.
Liu Xing said: "First, this village can no longer be occupied. As for the reasons, I'm afraid everyone present knows it well, so they must move out. This should be easy to do with your connections."
"Yes." Zhu Menghai did not deny it.
Maitkai also felt that Liu Xing was right.
"The second thing." Liu Xing pulled Aidoduo in front of him: "There are many children in the village who can't even read books. Since you brothers and sisters have come here to recognize their relatives, should they find a way to solve it?"
Before Maitkai could speak, Liu Xing continued, "Don't worry, as a half-sized person in Xiangxi, I will not just talk. At that time, I will never be vague."
"But this is not something that can be accomplished in a short while. I can't stay here for a long time!" Matekai said with his hands spreading.
"If you have money, just have your sister." Liu Xing smiled.
"But she is the owner of Menghai Hotel..." Before Maitkai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Zhu Menghai: "Brother, stop talking about anything. I obey Liu Xing's arrangements and am willing to change the backward conditions here."
"Meng Hai..." Maitkai wanted to persuade him, but finally fell silent.
To be continued...
