Ji Xuyuan was actually lying under the eaves to enjoy the cool air.
Not only that, there was a beautiful young woman in her 20s who had a certain charm about her beside him, who was beating his legs for him.
Very comfortable!
But Luo Xuan is not worried about what will happen between Ji Xuyuan and this young woman.
Not to mention Chen Xiaoduan's mother, who is in the house. Is she a woman who can tolerate such a mess?
Just talking about Mr. Ji, although his body is still strong, some functions may have been disabled long ago.
Time is not forgiving, and I understand that he only wanted to kill the thief, but he was unable to save himself.
When Luo Xuan just arrived at the door of the small courtyard, Ji Xuyuan actually knew it, but he didn't say anything and didn't let the young woman come over to open the door for Luo Xuan.
Just because Ji Xuyuan knew in his heart: Luo Xuan's return to that village this time would have nothing more than two endings.
Either the wealth accumulated in the village over the years will be wiped out, and by the way, all the villagers in the village will continue to be exploited.
Let them continue to farm land and raise pigs for Luo Xuan in this deep mountain and old forest, and continue to create astonishing wealth for Luo Xuan to start his own business.
Or, Luo Xuan is willing to give up all this, let go and travel in the outside world in the vast sea and sky.
So it's not that Ji Xuyuan doesn't want to have a very in-depth exchange with Luo Xuan.
But he knew that this matter, and Luo Xuan's final decision, was very, very important to the village.
If Luo Xuan insists on continuing to exploit the villagers in this village, Ji Xuyuan estimates that with his own strength, he will eventually be unable to stop Luo Xuan from doing whatever he wants.
Therefore, Ji Xuyuan was just deliberately being invisible there.
This is called braking with stillness and responding to all changes with stability.
Under the eaves, Ji Xuyuan placed the rocking chair very low, and fanned himself with a big cattail leaf fan in a Buddhist style. He didn't know whether he was fanning himself, or fanning away the unknown ray deep in his heart.
lonely?
Wearing a soft and silky thin silk gown and trousers, they are close-fitting and breathable. The only drawback is that they wrinkle easily.
But Ji Xuyuan, who seldom goes out, doesn't care about this. He has long passed the age where his clothes and accessories can support his own appearance.
The main focus is leisure and comfort.
As for the others? Love whoever.
Mr. Ji doesn't live his life based on anyone's face.
"Hello, old man!"
Luo Xuan smiled and said hello, "You are living such a comfortable life as a god."
"Shutan, how about we switch?"
Ji Xuyuan didn't even raise his head. He still lay on the chair and said calmly, "As the saying goes, I have stayed in this mountain for more than ten years. I plan to take advantage of my good health to take a chance to go out for a walk.
"
"The situation outside is a bit tense. If you want to take a walk, you have to go."
Luo Xuan laughed and said, "Change your name and get you a letter of introduction. This is not difficult, but you have to check this and that wherever you go. How can you think about seeing the scenery along the way?"
"That's true."
Ji Xuyuan sighed, then sat up, waved the cattail leaf fan in his hand and asked, "You are running around all over the world, like a kite without a string, and you still know how to come back?"
Luo Xuan took out a bag of imported pipe tobacco from his backpack and handed it over with a complete set of pipes, "Old man, just accept your fate! It is also a very good choice to live your life in the deep mountains and forests.
Treat your grandchildren with sweet treats, chat with your confidante when you have nothing to do, cook a few delicacies with your heart, and brew a few pots of new wine. Life is like this, what else can I ask for?"
"call"
Ji Xuyuan took the cut tobacco and took a greedy sip, "Not to mention the things made by foreigners, such as coffee and black tea, they are really not on the market. But the dry cut tobacco made by these guys is quite fragrant.
of."
The box of "y-965 pipe tobacco" in his hand was given to Luo Xuan by Ji Cunxi when Luo Xuan went to attend the Canton Fair.
He knew that the old man was not fond of smoking or drinking. Only sometimes, Ji Xuyuan would occasionally take a few puffs of this tobacco.
That's why Ji Cunxi specially gave it to Luo Xuan and asked him to take it back and give it to his old man.
This kind of tobacco has a very fragrant aroma and is very easy to smoke. The only drawback is that it requires a bit of matches.
"Grandpa, what are you smoking? Why does it smell so good?"
Ji Xiaoxia jumped up and brought out a small bench and asked Luo Xuan to do it, "Didn't Grandma say that you are not allowed to smoke? Grandpa, if you disobey, you will be punished by standing still!"
"Hahaha, just one sip. Grandpa only took one sip. Our Xiaoxia is the most obedient, but we can't go to your grandma to complain."
Ji Xuyuan touched Ji Xiaoxia's head and said, "Xiaoxia, please go inside and help grandma make dinner. Grandpa and your uncle Luo Xuan have a few words to say."
Wait until Ji Xiaoxia entered the house obediently.
Ji Xuyuan took a puff of dry cigarette, then turned to Luo Xuan and asked seriously, "What, are you planning to completely delegate all the management rights of the village?"
Luo Xuan first glanced at the charming young woman serving Ji Xuyuan.
Every move he made in the village was probably attributed to the young woman in her early 20s. She ran over and gave a detailed report to Ji Xuyuan.
Luo Xuan, who is now considered powerful and has been a leader for a long time, has a majestic look in his eyes.
The young woman was so frightened by Luo Xuan's glance that she quickly lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes and not daring to say a word.
He even dared not meet Luo Xuan's eyes.
He gave the other party a cold look.
Luo Xuan then nodded, "Power cannot be shared publicly. Sooner or later, this village must be allowed to manage itself, so that it can move forward more steadily and for a longer time."
Ji Xuyuan said, "Haha, you did the right thing! You really didn't disappoint me."
"In fact, I have also thought about the issue of decentralization. When we rescued them, we did put in effort and money, but we also took huge risks."
Ji Xuyuan smiled slightly, "I am not the kind of old stubborn who refuses to change, nor am I a greedy vampire.
So when I rescued them, I didn't expect to get anything in return from them, let alone exploit them for the rest of my life.
This is different from that era in 1942.
At that time, there was a great disaster, and there were many businessmen doing business, cultivating the land and cultivating the heirloom wealth. They would also take in many poor people.
But after all, their efforts must be properly rewarded.
So in the end, many people became contract workers in their workshops; some people became long-term workers for landlords and wealthy families. We are newcomers in the new era, so naturally we will not pursue such selfish interests.
So when we do that thing, we have a kind heart, so why do we need anything in return?"
"But because of your attitude, you haven't shown it clearly."
Ji Xuyuan changed the subject, looked at Luo Xuan and continued, "In addition, the people in these villages come from all over the world. Apart from being too hungry to survive, they have nothing in common.
They lack a leading figure among them, a soul figure who can respond to everything and convince others."
"So in the early days of the establishment of the village, I could only ask about every detail and intervene in everything."
Ji Xuyuan smiled slightly, "Luo Xuan, to be honest, I was a little worried at the time. Do you want to use these people to work for you? Then in the later harvest period, you can start to get back your investment.
Or even rely on these people to work for you for a lifetime and get quite generous and lasting rewards?"
Luo Xuan chuckled, "So you deliberately introduced people like Teacher Fan from outside the mountains, and asked him to use his unique education method to awaken the people's wisdom of the second generation in the village and deliberately cultivate their
Awareness of rights protection?”
"Yes! I do have such a plan."
They are all foxes in the same ravine.
There is a huge age gap between Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan, so when it comes to means and brains, the two of them are probably on par.
So since we are all old foxes living in the same valley, we don't talk about chatting with each other.
Therefore, Ji Xuyuan simply admitted it openly, "If their parents, because of your kindness in saving their lives and taking them in, spent the rest of their lives repaying your huge investment, at this point, I would be fine."
No comments.
After all, you took such a big risk, saved so many lives, and spent so much money on resettlement expenses and food to build villages and reclaim land for them.
It's only fair that they repay you financially after the crisis is over."
"But this model is undoubtedly very unfair to their next generation."
Ji Xuyuan smiled and said, "Even the contracted workers in the old days were only employed by the first generation. How can there be any reason for generations to continue working for the employer with an extremely meager salary?"
"Now I see that you are so open-minded and generous. You gave up the little power you had without hesitation. You are willing to give up such a large amount of income. You are worthy of being my favorite year-end friend! Luo Xuan, good job.
I feel so relieved!"
Ji Xuyuan patted Luo Xuan on the shoulder, "I seem to see my own shadow in you. You love money, but you are not greedy; you are affectionate and righteous, and you have a big picture! Especially when it comes to money, hehe, like me!
A gentleman loves wealth and gets it in a wise way. He will never reach out to wealth that is not his own."
Ji Xuyuan was a capitalist who did big business in the old days.
To say that in the primitive stage of accumulating capital, he never exploited others or deprived his workers?
That is impossible and unrealistic.
But now what Ji Xuyuan said from his mouth, Luo Xuan believed in its authenticity: After all, at Ji Xuyuan's age, non-dispute is his main tone.
Basically I have no more desires.
What's more, his only biological son, Ji Cunxi, is now working hard abroad.
The amount of money flowing through people's hands every minute is in the millions or tens of millions. Even if they lose money or make money, they don't care about Ji Xuyuan's pitiful family background.
Therefore, even if Ji Xuyuan uses all his old bones to boil oil, he will not be able to play any role in the career of his own son.
So now Ji Xuyuan has no motivation to make money desperately.
Xiaocao, who was once relatively close to him and continued to move away, is now promising and is a quasi-cadre after all.
And Luo Xuan was behind the scenes to check on Xiaocao, so it was not Ji Xuyuan's turn to worry about it.
At present, some resources are still needed to cultivate and raise her into an adult. Ji Xiaoxia is the only one who can do this. For Ji Xuyuan, how can there be any financial pressure?
Since there is no motivation to make money, Ji Xuyuan is not the wife of Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong. She likes to sit on a pile of copper coins and count them for fun.
So today's Ji Xuyuan, if he doesn't love money, he really doesn't love money, and it's just fake.
Now, Luo Xuan and Ji Xuyuan have reached an agreement on the future of the entire village, and there is no longer any barrier.
Next, it’s time to eat and drink.
The Jade Rabbit rises in the east, and night falls.
Under the illumination of two bright horse lanterns, the courtyard of Ji Xuyuan's house was brightly lit, with a cool breeze blowing, and piles of fine wine and delicacies on the table.
Dried pheasant and hare, wild mushroom liver, wild yellow flower fungus, pure wild spicy yellow pepper dices, steamed Shibanxi, they are brought up by the flowing water.
Sausage, bacon, donkey sausage, braised eel with garlic paste and white meat, everything is available.
Ji Xuyuan and Chen Xiao's mother, they eat very little.
This table of extremely rich and delicious dishes must have been specially prepared for Luo Xuan.
However, I have to say that the delicacies on this table are indeed delicious! It shows the excellent cooking skills of the chef.
Especially the plate of twice-cooked pork, which was impeccably prepared in terms of knife skills, heat, and ingredients.
Luo Xuan picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork.
The slices of meat from the palm-sized buttocks are as thin as cicada wings, and even appear transparent under the light.
It melts in your mouth, fat but not greasy.
Seeing Luo Xuan's delicious food, Chen Xiaoduan's mother smiled slightly and said, "Since you think it tastes good, then eat more! You must know that this plate of twice-cooked pork was made by Xiao Xi himself! Just cutting the meat, that's all.
It took a lot of effort, boss."
It turns out that the young woman who beats Ji Xuyuan's legs and shoulders every day and has to do laundry and cook part-time is called Xiao Xi.
I just don't know her maiden name.
The apple-faced, moist-looking woman in front of me is said to be a villager in the village.
But later, because of the man she married, she got together with another woman.
Xiao Xi felt that she couldn't hold her head high in the village, so she took the initiative to come to Ji Xuyuan's place and play a role similar to that of a nanny.
This prevented her from continuing to live in the village for a long time and face her ex-husband without looking up, which would make both of them embarrassed.
Wait until the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed five flavors.
Chen Xiaoduan's mother excused herself because she was tired, so she took the sleepy Ji Xiaoxia back to the house.
After Luo Xuan finished eating, he was about to ask Ji Xuyuan which room he arranged for him to rest in, when he saw Ji Xuyuan stretched out his hand and pushed Luo Xuan out of the yard, "Go, go, you live in my little wooden house, and
How can it be convenient?
In the woods over there, Xiao Xi has already built a hut for you, so you can go and sleep there tonight."
Outside the yard, there used to be wild wolves.
But now in this mountain forest, the entire wolf pack is equivalent to the guard dogs raised by Ji Xuyuan.
In addition, there are two expired wolf kings patrolling the ravines in this area, so living in the woods outside, you don't have to worry about being attacked by wild beasts.
When Luo Xuan, led by Xiao Xi, arrived at the newly built thatched hut, he saw that this temporary residence had been tidied up, warm and quiet.
He reached out and patted the golden straw, which was used to cushion the bed. It was very elastic.
White light gauze pattern tent, soft and comfortable.
Lifting the mosquito net, I saw a thin new summer quilt placed on the newly woven straw mat, and two cattail pillows.
Before Luo Xuan could say anything, the round little Xi listened to the two big questions, blushed and climbed onto the bed shyly, "Go to sleep, it's been a tiring day, it's time to rest early."
There seems to be something wrong with the wine you drank tonight?
Anyway, Luo Xuan only felt waves of heat in his body, and when he thought of the round girl in front of him, he actually came to inform Ji Xuyuan behind his back?
So Luo Xuan decided to punish her severely tonight!
