Chapter 63

During his six years in the army, Xiao Yi met many people and made many life-and-death acquaintances. In a sudden accident, Xiao Yi lost everything of these six years and became alone.

However, after returning home, Xiao Yi felt the warmth that the army had never had before, because in a small village, there was a house with a lamp, waiting for him to go home.

Because it was late, Zhang Bing didn't go back tonight, so he slept at Xiao Yi's house for the night, and returned to the county tomorrow.

The next morning, Xiao Yi got used to getting up early, put on his clothes, and went out for a morning run to exercise his body. Zhang Bing was also woken up by Xiao Yi. Knowing what Xiao Yi was doing, Zhang Bing also came out for a run.

"Brother Zhang, don't you want to sleep a little longer?"

"Seeing you get up so early and go out to exercise, I can't help it. I want to go out for a run for a while. You must know that my body and endurance are not comparable to ordinary people."

Zhang Bing said confidently, on this point, Zhang Bing did not say anything, because Zhang Bing had won a long-distance running award when he was in school.

Half an hour later, Zhang Bing was out of breath, bent over with his waist pinched, bean-sized beads of sweat dripping down his cheeks, panting while looking at Xiao Yi who had already passed several laps in front of him.

"I said... I said Xiao Yi, who the hell are you? After running for so long, the speed is still not the speed of jogging. It's almost 10,000 meters, right?"

"Oh, I've been in the army before, so it's not a problem to run this way."

"I said... I said, your physical strength is too strong."

Zhang Bing knew quite a few people, and few of them could make Zhang Bing feel admirable. After getting to know Xiao Yi, Zhang Bing knew that what Zhang Hong said back then was true.

"Brother Zhang, you can't just sit there after exercising. After a while, your legs will be sore and you won't be able to walk."

"I forgot about this. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have come out to run with you. I wanted to show you how good I am at running. It seems that I have played tricks."

Xiao Yi reminded Zhang Bing, Zhang Bing got up and walked for a while, Xiao Yi stopped at 10,000 meters and took Zhang Bing home for breakfast.

Breakfast is very simple, millet porridge plus steamed buns and pickles, Xiao Yi was a little embarrassed, and served Zhang Bing with these.

Zhang Bing has an easy-going personality and didn't care about these things at all. After breakfast, Zhang Bing drove back to Beitang County first. Xiao Yi tidied up, washed his face and brushed his teeth, and ran towards the village committee.

Today Xiao Yi had something to discuss with Li Xiaojia, the first thing was to ask, Li Xiaojia should have asked about that orchard, how much he would spend to contract that orchard.

Now that Xiao Yi is going to talk about contracting the orchard, it should be almost the same, and there is still more than 10,000 yuan in money. According to the situation in Anning Bay, the annual contracting fee for an orchard of more than ten acres is not even 2,000 yuan.

In the morning when Xiao Yi came to the village committee, Li Xiaojia was squatting there brushing her teeth. After living in the village for so many days, Li Xiaojia became more and more down-to-earth.

"Come to look for me so early, do you guess that my medicine is gone, and plan to come over and make it for me?"

"Village Chief Li, if you want me to help you decoct the medicine, just explain it directly, there is no need to block me with such words."

Of course, Li Xiaojia was not polite at all, took out the tools for decocting the medicine, and asked Xiao Yi to decoct the herbs first.

"I haven't drunk herbal medicine before, and you lied to me that the taste is not bitter. I almost didn't spit it out at the first sip."

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to drink, anyway, it's you and not me who will hurt, as long as you don't look for me when it hurts."

Xiao Yi heated up the medicinal soup in the casserole and poured it out. After cleaning it up, he added new herbs and soaked it for a while before frying.

Li Xiaojia held the bowl, and frowned when she saw the brown medicinal soup in the bowl. Just smelling the smell, she recalled what the first sip was like.

"Hey... It's really a pain. You said it's easy to be a woman. Is there any other way to cure the disease without taking medicine."

Xiao Yi saw that Li Xiaojia's brows were as frowning as hemp ropes. What she said, he really had an idea.

"This female benefactor, the poor have a way. Not only does it not need to be so painful to drink medicine, but the process is more enjoyable."

"Oh? What way? Why didn't you say it last time?"

"Pindao's method requires the consent of the female benefactor. As the saying goes, if you love me, I will. In the next nine months, Pindao guarantees that you will not be in pain."

Xiao Yi said while fanning the fire, Li Xiaojia was stunned for a while, and seeing Xiao Yi's squinting eyes, he suddenly understood what Xiao Yi was talking about.

"Go to hell!"

Li Xiaojia pinched Xiao Yi's arm a few times until Xiao Yi grinned in pain, then Li Xiaojia gave up, let go of her hand and didn't care about Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi endured the pain in his arm, and at the same time had to fan the fire to boil medicine. If he had known that he would not talk cheap, this would be the end.

"By the way, how is the matter I asked you to do?"

Li Xiaojia's expression suddenly stopped, and he looked at Xiao Yi foolishly, Xiao Yi had an ominous premonition in his heart, and his face turned blue.

"You must have forgotten, right? As the saying goes, Mr. Li Da has a big chest and no brains. Your typical example is a negative example."

After Xiao Yi finished speaking, Li Xiaojia kicked Xiao Yi, and wanted to sit down and have a good talk with Xiao Yi, but Xiao Yi had a special ability, which made Li Xiaojia not calm every minute.

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just joking with you. How can I not help you with what you told me? I've already asked you for it."

"Let me tell you, I have helped you so much in the past, helping Anning Bay with economic development, you can't be heartless, you will lose the chain in such a small matter."

Li Xiaojia got up and patted the dirt on his clothes. This is not a place to talk, so he and Xiao Yi went back to the office of the village committee, and then came to talk to Xiao Yi about the specific situation.

Now Xiao Yi has become a regular visitor of the village committee. When he walked into the office of the village committee, Xiao Yi pulled out a chair that was about to be worn off, let Li Xiaojia sit down, and sat on a stool himself.

"If you ask, you must also ask, about how much the orchard can be contracted for."

"I asked this for you. The orchard was planted by a middle-aged man in his forties in Wu Village next door. Later, because the orchard was not well managed and there was no market in the local area, no one bought the fruit. So the orchard Now it's like a waste."

Although Li Xiaojia didn't know what Xiao Yi was planning, he insisted on asking him about the situation of the unmanned orchard, but it was Xiao Yi's request, so Li Xiaojia had no choice but to make a trip for nothing.

"These are not the key points. The point is that I want to know how much he plans to contract for this orchard."

"What are you in a hurry for? I've asked you. The annual contract fee is 5,000 yuan."

"Five thousand? Why didn't he go grab it! I've already inquired about the orchard. In the best year, I sold apples for less than 3,000 yuan. It's not bad that I didn't lose money after deducting the cost."

Xiao Yi had a rough estimate in his heart, even if it was more than 2,000 yuan, he could accept it, but 5,000 yuan was far beyond Xiao Yi's estimate.
