Chapter 1. A peach pit left by grandpa
The late autumn wind blows on your body, making you feel cold. Many pedestrians coming and going on the street have already put on winter clothes. Those girls who love beauty are still not afraid of the cold. They try to use the least amount of clothes to show their curves to familiar or strangers.
This is Yundong City.
As an international metropolis, tall buildings stand and traffic flows through the streets. You can often see foreigners with high noses and blue eyes speaking fluent Chinese conversations on the streets.
But all this has nothing to do with Lei Huanxi.
This was his most unlucky day.
After graduating from college, I couldn't find a job. I was temporarily working as a doorman in the largest and most luxurious five-star Xihai Hotel in Yundong City, thinking about making money to support myself while finding another job.
His parents divorced since childhood and threw him to his grandfather for taking care of him. His grandfather was an ordinary peach farmer who relied on planting peaches to train his grandson until he graduated from college.
After three years in Yundong, I thought I would integrate with this big city sooner or later, but who would have thought...
Everything originated this morning...
...
Early in the morning, Lei Huanxi put on his doorman uniform, made a few jokes with the familiar waiter, and then got on his job:
At the gate.
The hall manager, Manager Song, special cares about him. Today, the owner of Xihai Hotel, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Xihai Group, and the son of Jiang Shengli, will come to give him more eyesight and sweeter mouth.
Lei Huanxi was not worried. He had no other skills, but he just opened his mouth sweetly.
A Mercedes-Benz stopped at the door, and Lei Huanxi hurried up to open the car door: "Welcome to Xihai Hotel."
A young man and woman walked out inside, but Lei Huanxi quickly turned her head over from the woman's eyes.
"Lei Huanxi?" The woman recognized her at a glance.
"Ah, Xu Yanyan, hello." Lei Huanxi said hello with a tough bullet.
This is his college classmate, a standard white and rich beauty. He has opened three companies at home and is very rich. Lei Huanxi pursued him when he was in college.
Of course, the final result can be imagined.
"Lei Huanxi, why are you here?" Xu Yanyan immediately understood as soon as she saw Lei Huanxi's work clothes: "Ah, you are a disciple here. Weisen, this is my college classmate Lei Huanxi. Your father is the boss here, so he can help him change a more comfortable job. He is also very pitiful, he is like this."
After saying that, Xiao Bird leaned against the man's shoulder again: "I forgot to introduce it to you. My boyfriend Jiang Bin and Weisen are his English name, so I came back from studying in the UK. Xihai Hotel is his father's property."
Lei Huanxi smiled bitterly. Manager Song asked himself to wait for Jiang Bin early in the morning. He didn't expect that the person was waiting for it, but this was the result.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, welcome to inspect Xihai Hotel." Lei Huanxi calmed down and said neither humble nor arrogantly.
Xu Yanyan smiled and said a few words in Jiang Bin's ear. Jiang Bin suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is the toad you told me that I want to pursue you."
He spoke very loudly. Manager Song, who saw Jiang Bin coming and hurried to the door, heard it clearly, covered his mouth and laughed.
"Mr. Jiang, if a person who has returned from studying abroad doesn't even understand the minimum respect, I don't think there is anything he deserves to be envious and respected." Lei Huanxi was not angry at all: "If you weren't because of a good father, maybe you might not be as good as me, as a toad, at least I know how to treat an ordinary guest."
From childhood to adulthood, because of his rural background and poor family, Lei Huanxi has been scolded by others. But he has long been used to it and will only treat such rolling eyes and sarcasm as an inspiration to himself.
But Jiang Bin is different. From childhood to adulthood, he has flattered him everywhere and is used to being domineering. When has he been taught a lesson by a small disciple?
Just as she was about to get angry, Lei Huanxi suddenly took off her hat and handed it to Manager Song: "Manager Song, I think I probably can't continue working here anymore. Thank you for your care for me during this time. I'll resign."
After saying that, he turned around and returned to the hotel...
Jiang Bin has never been so embarrassed, especially in front of his girlfriend he just met, with a pale face: "Manager Song, go call me that person from the security department..."
...
Lei Huanxi changed his clothes and no longer paid his salary.
As soon as I left Xihai Hotel, I felt much more relaxed. But when I looked up, I saw the security manager Gu Biao appear in front of him with two security guards.
This Gu Biao was originally a social gangster. It is said that he had been jailed. Later, he somehow entered the Xihai Hotel. He was trusted by the boss Jiang Shengli. Even if the deputy general manager saw him in the hotel, he had to give him some face.
"Manager Gu, what's the matter?" An ominous premonition broke out in Lei Huanxi's heart.
"I heard you offended Mr. Jiang?" Gu Biao smiled sinisterly: "Mr. Jiang is very unhappy. Lei Huanxi, I have no grudges and you, so you can't blame me."
Before Lei Huanxi could speak, the two security guards had already rushed forward, and one of them held Lei Huanxi.
"Little kid, close your eyes." Gu Biao walked over with a smile, and suddenly punched Lei Huanxi hard on the face.
Lei Huanxi's nose was cracked in an instant, and his nosebleeded out in an endless stream.
Gu Biao did not pause at all, punching several times. He had practiced the kung fu, and his fists were heavy and hard. In a moment, he hit Lei Huanxi with a bruised nose and a bloody face.
Lei Huanxi didn't say a word or beg for mercy. This was a big surprise to Gu Biao.
Seeing that the fight was too bad, Gu Biao signaled his two men to let go.
As soon as he let go, Lei Huanxi fell to the ground.
Gu Biao squatted down beside him: "She, boy, your bones are quite hard. The same thing, don't blame me, you want to blame yourself for offending Mr. Jiang."
After saying that, he stood up and took the two security guards away...
...
Lei Huanxi could only move after a long time, and his whole body felt very painful when he moved.
The phone in his pocket rang, and Lei Huanxi reluctantly took out the phone: "Hey."
What came was that he had seen himself growing up since he was a child. Village Chief Xu in his hometown village called him, and his voice was extremely anxious: "Happy, come back quickly, your grandfather can't do it!"
Regardless of the pain in his body, Lei Huanxi ran away.
Grandpa is the only relative around me...
Taking the bus, Lei Huanxi looked out of the car window and finally looked at Yundong city. This time he left, he would probably not come again for a long time...
When I first stepped here, looking at the towering buildings and bustling streets, the dreams and ambitions I once had may not be realized for a long time...
...
Lei Huanxi's hometown is Zhunan Town, only more than an hour away from Yundong city.
Zhunan Town produces peaches, which are very famous throughout the country. The peaches in Xiantao Village are the most famous in Zhunan Town.
There is a beautiful legend about Xiantao Village. It is said that when the Monkey King Sun Wukong stole a peach and threw down a peach pit, which happened to land here, so peaches began to produce here.
The villagers of Xiantao Village often said proudly: "In addition to the peaches in the sky, the peaches are the largest and most delicious."
Lei Huanxi rushed forward quickly, but it was still one step late.
Grandpa has passed away.
Village Chief Xu told Huanxi that his grandfather had a long time ago physical problems, but in order not to worry his grandson and to let his grandson develop his career in Yundong, his grandfather kept it from hiding.
Until I can no longer hide it...
Village Chief Xu sighed repeatedly: "If you could come back a few hours earlier, you could still see my old friend..."
Lei Huanxi's tears fell down the corner of his eyes...
...
With the help of the village chief, my grandfather was buried. When I came back, I saw a large villa erected at the east end of the village, and a circle of high walls surrounded the villa.
Lei Huanxi was a little curious: "Uncle Xu, when did we have such a villa?"
"A big boss in the city built it." Village Chief Xu said: "I asked the village that I bought several acres of land. Not only did I build this villa, but I also opened a small farm and a fish pond. What a good guy, a contractor inside is my distant nephew. It is said that the house is decorated like a palace. The big boss is said to have lived there after retirement in the future, but it is strange that he has never been there after the construction, and the water in the fish pond is smelly."
Lei Huanxi said "Oh".
Nowadays, rich people in big cities like to run to the countryside, eat farm food, and breathe the air in the farmhouse whenever they have free time. Perhaps this boss has the same idea.
When he returned home, Village Chief Xu introduced Lei Huanxi to the funeral that his grandfather left behind.
Lei Huanxi's grandfather was old and weak, and only contracted half an acre of peach orchards. In addition, he couldn't take care of it after he got sick. Now there are only a few peach trees inside.
"The contract period is still five years before it expires. Happy, look at this..." Village Chief Xu asked tentatively.
"I'll do it." Lei Huanxi didn't hesitate too much: "I learned it from my grandfather when I was a child, so I'll do it."
Actually, where else can he go now?
"As long as you can endure hardships, take care of Taoyuan again. Life will definitely get better." Village Chief Xu didn't say much and took out a small box from his pocket: "This is what your grandfather asked me to leave for you."
Lei Huanxi opened it and saw that it was just a peach pit. I don’t know how many years this peach pit has been, and it has turned black.
Maybe grandpa is trying to keep himself from forgetting his roots?
After seeing off Village Chief Xu, Lei Huanxi was cheered up. There was nothing wrong with returning to the countryside. At least he didn't have to spend all his time renting a cheap house.
The old house that grandfather left for him is 120 square meters, and Lei Huanxi can live as much as he wants.
Seeing that it was not dark yet, Lei Huanxi picked up the box and walked out.
The Taoyuan, which my grandfather contracted, is still a long way from the village, and it is very far away. No one comes here normally. A few lonely peach trees stand there alone, as desolate as they are.
I took out the walnut and held it in my hand, sat down under a peach tree. What should I do in the future? Although I have learned the technique of growing peaches with my grandfather, I have not remembered many years.
But what else can you do?
As she thought about it, Lei Huanxi fell asleep...
