Chapter 333 Osmanthus fragrans
Because I came here last time.
Xu Wenyan went directly to the home of Village Chief Xu.
"Xu Laodeng... ahem. Village Chief Xu! Are you home?" After calling out twice with no response, Xu Wenyan wanted to continue shouting when Village Chief Xu came out with a gloomy face.
"What's the matter?" Village chief Xu recognized Xu Wenyan at a glance. It's better not to mess with this scoundrel.
"I want to pick some osmanthus flowers from the entrance of your village, is that okay?"
Village Chief Xu thought he was going to do something weird again. The villagers were not happy to pick the sweet osmanthus flowers, so they fell to the ground every year. So he just gave them to him and said, "Please do as you please."
When he came, Xu Wenyan asked the villagers, and when he arrived at the place, Xu Wenyan directed three people.
"Huzi, Xiaoman, hold the cloth under the tree and catch it, Brother Chen, shake it hard!"
The three of them received the order and shook as Chen Sanlin did.
Osmanthus flowers fall from the trees one after another.
The unique fragrance of osmanthus permeates every corner of the air.
"Wow! It's raining osmanthus flowers!" Xiaohu's face was full of smiles.
Chen Sanlin turned around and looked at Xu Wenyan.
The yellowish color is mixed with a barely noticeable white, floating down. Across this waterfall of flowers, the boy's smile is particularly warm.
Noticing the gaze, Xu Wenyan also looked at the boy opposite, with a bigger smile on his face.
Scattered on the ground is the life of osmanthus, the end of summer and the appearance of autumn.
Time passes day by day, year by year.
At this moment, the two young men just wanted to be able to enjoy this rich fragrance together every autumn.
"Brother Xu, now I can stay fragrant even if I don't take a shower for a week." Xiaohu picked up the cloth and ran towards Xu Wenyan.
Xu Wenyan and Xiaoman poured the osmanthus flowers into the backpack together.
"Women hate unclean men the most."
"Then I'll wash it."
There are more than a dozen osmanthus trees in Xujia Village, and Xu Wenyan does not intend to miss any of them.
The villagers also found it strange.
They looked at the young man who ran past under the osmanthus tree from time to time, and smiles suddenly appeared on their faces.
After picking the osmanthus flowers, Xu Wenyan also took a look at the repair status of the road.
The road has been under construction for more than half a month and has been built for about five or six kilometers. The problem is that there are more weeds and fewer big trees on the road.
It is estimated that the progress will be slower when it reaches the middle part, as the road in the middle is narrow and needs to be filled. However, the speed is already very fast, after all, there are more than 400 men.
After returning home, Xu Wenyan hung up all the osmanthus flowers to dry in the sun.
Dried osmanthus flowers can be preserved longer and can be used later whenever you want.
After boiling with rock sugar, you can put it into fruit tea as a side dish.
As they were busy, they heard the sound of horse-drawn carriages outside the yard. The sound was quite loud, and there must be at least two or three of them.
Xiaohu heard the sound and went out to check.
A middle-aged man in fine cloth clothes came over from the side of the sedan chair.
"Who are you looking for?" Xiaohu asked first.
"Excuse me, little brother, is this the home of Master Xu Wenyan?"
"Yes, what do you want to see Brother Xu about?"
Just as Xiaohu finished saying this, he saw a middle-aged man get out of the car, whom Xiaohu might not know.
If Xu Wenyan saw it, he would definitely know who it was.
"I'm Yan'er's uncle." Zhang Kai said anxiously, "Is Yan'er home?"
Xiaohu was stunned immediately. Does Brother Xu have any relatives? He has never heard of it.
"Yes." Xiaohu also ran home immediately: "Brother Xu! Your uncle is here."
"Uncle?" Xu Wenyan was wondering when Zhang Kai walked into the yard.
"Yan'er!"
Zhang Kai strode into the room and grabbed Xu Wenyan's hand.
"Uncle Zhang, I still have osmanthus flowers in my hand."
Zhang Kai took a look and didn't mind: "Yan'er, how can you call me Uncle Zhang? Call me Uncle."
Seeing Xu Wenyan awkwardly silent, Zhang Kai knew that Xu Wenyan might not have forgiven their Zhang family yet.
If you think about it carefully, the Zhang family has been living a carefree life in the capital for more than ten years, but Yan'er and Ajie have to suffer in the village.
No one would forgive the other person immediately.
"Yan'er, your grandpa is sick, and he wants you to go see him." Zhang Kai said earnestly.
Zhang Kailai brought two or three carriages. These carriages were not as simple as Xu Wenyan's. The wood and the cloth made them look quite exquisite.
At this time, some villagers had gathered outside to watch.
After all, there is nothing much to do in the village right now, and most of the visitors are women.
"Uncle Zhang, I still have work to do in the yard. Isn't my cousin at home?"
Although Xu Wenyan currently has a good impression of the Zhang family, this tobacco shop is indeed opened by the Zhang family.
Xu Wenyan was really afraid of getting involved with the Zhang family. What if something went wrong?
You have to know that this tobacco is aimed at rich people.
If something goes wrong, the problem cannot be solved as easily as the previous Wuzhou Fried Rice.
"Hey, Yan'er, your grandpa just wants you all to go see him. It won't cause any trouble."
In fact, Mr. Zhang was not really sick. He just had not been in good health.
I just wanted to use this as an excuse to meet Xu Wenyan.
He could only make up for his debt to Zhang Guoying by asking Xu Wenyan, after all, Zhang Guoying was no longer around.
He had also met Xu Jinhua and Xu Dashan. The two children did not look much like him, so naturally he was not as familiar with them.
The women watching outside were also bewildered. Could it be that Xu Wenyan's grandfather was still alive?
They have lived together for half a year, but they have never heard that Xu Wenyan has any other relatives in his family.
The only one is Zhou Jianye's family.
It's too outrageous that some grandpa suddenly appeared at this time.
"Where is Xu Wenyan's grandfather at this time? I'm afraid he thinks Xu Wenyan has become rich and is planning to cheat him of his money."
"That's not right. Look at the carriage they are driving. It's even more luxurious than the Chen family's."
"Yes, yes, there is no such thing as a father-in-law asking his son-in-law for money."
People outside were chattering about it. Fortunately, the bad guys in the village had been almost cleared out. If Xu Wenyan hadn't said anything, these villagers would have completely stood on his side.
At least it won't cause any trouble.
Zhang Kai kept asking, and Xu Wenyan had no choice but to ask, "What disease does the old man have?"
"It's just coughing and dizziness. I think I caught a cold."
Xu Wenyan nodded: "Then I will go early tomorrow morning."
"I have prepared the carriage. It will be convenient for Yan'er to go with uncle."
Xu Wenyan looked back at Chen Sanlin and motioned for him to follow, but was stopped by Zhang Kai: "Yan'er, it's not good to bring him to grandpa's house this time."
"Ah."
Xu Wenyan walked up to Chen Sanlin and said, "Come to the store tomorrow morning. I'll stay here for one night."
"Stay away from Zhang Chengjin." Chen Sanlin held Xu Wenyan's hand: "He is not a good person."
Xu Wenyan smiled and said, "Yeah, I understand."
