/
Christmas just passed, and Xu Cinian’s Qingyuan farm finally reopened.
After a cold and hail, the entire farm was paralyzed to the point of being unable to operate. Fortunately, Uncle Zhong took action in time and told the old folks who planted Xu Cinian about the situation in his hometown. It took a few days to get together. Tens of thousands of Houttuynia cordata seedlings and high-quality seeds came.
Although the old man is old, he is very experienced. He taught the workers of the farm how to cultivate and graft. He also learned from the experience of planting off-season vegetables and built many soil cultivation greenhouses in the land of Qingyuan. Within a few months, he turned the tide and raised Houttuynia cordata seedlings of better quality than before on the land that had no grains.
At the same time, Xu Cinian was not idle either. He ran around for more than half a month and brought dozens of orders for the farm. The deposit alone was 70,000 to 80,000 yuan.
For a while, the large and small pharmaceutical factories and large merchants of medicinal materials around S City, almost all knew that Xu Cinian’s Houttuynia cordata was of good quality and good price, and they all sent olive branches to him, and the operation of Qingyuan Farm was finally on the right track.
With the funds on hand, Xu Cinian began to plan to open a restaurant.
Farming is not his ultimate goal. He started farming first to raise funds, and the most important thing is to fulfill his grandfather’s last wish.
Now that he is relatively wealthy, with Uncle Zhong and the Zhao family’s secret recipe in front of him, it can be said that everything is ready, and he only owes Dongfeng.
What is this east wind? Certainly a well-located, eye-catching piece of land.
“I said that your head must have been squeezed by the door. It’s not easy to rent a good piece of land? You just say hello to Qu Cheng, and he promises to leave you a piece of the most golden storefront in the palace, so why fill it up by yourself? Running around on the street?”
Luo Xiaomao complained as he walked, walking on high heels, wearing a short skirt and black silk, and wearing a full goddess style, but the words in his mouth were rough, full of man, if the man who looked back at him leaned in and listened, sure to be scared to pee by him.
Xu Cinian ignored him and teased Wowo in his arms. The little guy was wearing a white rabbit padded jacket sitting in the nursery bag in front of his father with his fingers in his mouth. He giggled to himself on Dad’s chest.
“Family of three” looks unusually harmonious from a distance, the mother is beautiful, the father is handsome, and the doll is cute, but the words between the two adults are quite discordant.
“Hey, don’t pretend to be dumb and don’t speak. Did you hear what I said just now? Hey, don’t walk so fast, damn, these shoes are too high, I can’t keep up!”
Luo Xiaomao complained again, then Xu Cinian had to stop helplessly, “I just came out to see a location and you have to follow me. Now that you can’t walk, there is so much nonsense. Luo Xiaomao, can you be more reserved when it’s troublesome to wear women’s clothes?”
“No.”
Luo Xiaomao shook his head very resolutely, slung over Xu Cinian’s arm, leaned over shyly like a little daughter, but had a sly smile on the corner of his mouth, “Who made your boss run to our house every day, my light bulb I just have to hide everywhere, I dressed like this today to spend time with you guys and gals, and see who is disgusting.”
“…..” Xu Cinian rolled his eyes, pulled his arms out, and tried his best. Failed several times and had to give up.
Wowo, who had watched the whole process, turned around and asked innocently, “Uncle Luo, what is a light bulb?”
“Light bulbs are people who prevent your dad and your uncle from kissing, such as you and me.”
“Luo Xiaomao, that’s enough.” Xu Cinian covered Wowo’s small ears and squinted in warning.
But the little guy was too curious. He grabbed his father’s hand and didn’t cover his ears. After finally breaking free, he tilted his head and thought about it seriously. Although he still didn’t understand, he felt very tired.
“Dad, when will Chengcheng visit Wowo next time?”
Xu Cinian didn’t understand why he suddenly asked this, so he joked and teased him, “Is it important when he comes to see you? Do you need to arrange the schedule in advance, little brat?”
“That’s not it.” Wowo shook his head with a smile on his face, “Because I have to tell him in advance that I will bring a lot of candied haws and glutinous rice dumplings, and I will also be a light bulb with Uncle Luo when I have some snacks.”
“…..” Xu Cinian rolled his eyes silently.
Little brat, you really know too much besides eating…
Luo Xiaomao, who was watching from the side, laughed out loud when he saw his face, and even his fake eyelashes almost flew out.
Wowo, you are absolutely talented! Natural black belly.
In order to stop Wowo’s constant questioning, Xu Cinian bought him a lot of small snacks. The little guy sat in his arms and ate while looking around. When he saw a little girl around him with a camera and wanted to take a picture of him, he took the snacks. Hiding behind the back, putting up a pose and laughing at others, that quirky look attracted many uncles and aunts on the roadside.
The three people attracted much attention along the way, making Xu Cinian one of the first and two big, and by the time they reached their destination, it was almost time to get off work in the afternoon.
This is the old town in the west of the city. It used to be the city center of S city. Later, due to the continuous expansion of the city, the commercial atmosphere became weaker and weaker. Most restaurants and shopping malls would not choose this place, so the house prices here are extremely cheap, thousands of dollars. You can rent a good house with a good location and a large area for only a few dollars.
According to the address given by the previous owner, the three found a small two-story building on the corner of the street. Luo Xiaomao looked at the dilapidated house in front of him and the sparsely populated road next to him, and couldn’t help frowning again, “The house you fancy is right here?”
Xu Cinian nodded, took Wowo out of the nursery bag, squatted down with a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and tidied up his clothes, “Yeah, it’s here, if the house’s quality is not bad, I’ll rent it today.”
“I think your head is indeed squeezed by the door…” Luo Xiaomao stroked his forehead and said with a tangled face, “It’s so deserted here, how many people can’t walk through in an hour, You look around, there is not even a decent restaurant, you are going to lose all your money by opening the restaurant here, right?”
“It’s just because there is no decent restaurant here, so I have to open one, anyway, I have money on hand. There is not much money, and the housing prices here are cheap, even if the surrounding area is depressed, it doesn’t matter, the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alley.”
While talking, Xu Cinian arranged the clothes for Wowo, and pinched his chubby cheeks. At the moment when he lowered his head, a very gloomy look was cast around him, and he turned his head subconsciously, that strange look in hiis sight suddenly disappeared.
“You have no money? How dare you say that you have no money!? Qu Cheng can buy you a house in the city center with one day’s turnover of any entertainment city in his hands! Even if you don’t want to rely on him, let him pay for it. What if I rent you a good place for some money? You can’t give him a penny and don’t let him fuck in vain, right? Hey, why are you pinching me!”
When Luo Xiaomao get pinched in his waist and yelled, Xu Cinian gave him a hand. He grabbed his arm and said in a low voice, “Don’t shout, do you feel as if someone is staring at us?”
“Huh?”
Luo Xiaomao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced around. As a result, Xu Cinian turned his head over, “Don’t look around, what should you do if you startle the snake?” Luo Xiaomao sneered and pushed his hand away, “Are you alright, what are the suspicious ghosts doing in the daytime? Where is this place? Someone is staring at us.”
Xu Cinian didn’t say anything, and squinted his eyes and looked around.
There were few people around, the streets were empty, and even pedestrians were rare. There was indeed no suspicious person, but just now he clearly felt that stern gaze was staring at them.
“I think you are busy with work during the day and have to deal with the big boss at night, so tired that your eyes are dizzy.” Luo Xiaomao raised his eyebrows and swept his eyes around and said, “If someone is really staring at us, we have just walked all the way. It’s alright, you only feel it when you get here? Could it be that this shabby house is still haunted?”
The more he talked, the more vigorous he seemed, as if he had found a reason to persuade Xu Cinian all at once, he pulled his arm and whispered, “Look, look, you have encountered such a supernatural thing before you rented this house. Maybe it’s because the feng shui of this house is not good, and we can’t rent it anymore. If you encounter a ghost in the future, it will be more unlucky.”
He said this mysteriously, but he didn’t talk about Xu Cinian, but frightened the eavesdropping beside him, the little guy hugged Xu Cinian’s thigh all of a sudden, and his little paw grabbed Dad’s thumb, “Dad, there are ghosts…”
“There are no ghosts, don’t listen to Luo Xiaomao’s nonsense.” Xu Cinian patted Wowo’s head and couldn’t help but glared at Luo Xiaomao, “I’m serious, but you are fooling me. I don’t know what to say about you, the kid’s way of talking nonsense to me.”
The two people have talked here for so long, and the unfriendly eyes did not appear, perhaps it was really their own delusion. Probably because he has been victimized too many times, and now he has persecution paranoia.
Xu Cinian thought so in his heart, he picked up Wowo and put it into Luo Xiaomao’s arms and said, “Forget it, if you think the feng shui of this house is not good, don’t follow me. I hope that Wowo will wait for me downstairs for a while, and I will go up. Chat with the owner and come down.”
“Dad, be careful…” Wowo stared at the dark aisle in the second-floor small building, and then thought of what Uncle Luo had just said, and suddenly felt that it was dangerous to leave Dad alone.
“Be good, Dad will be down in a while. I’ll take you to eat hot pot in the evening, okay? Cook the eggs and shrimp slips until tender, and dip them in the seasonings for you to eat.”
Xu Cinian has always been very good at coaxing his son. As long as he talks about food, the little guy will definitely be persuaded by him to be obedient, but today Wowo doesn’t know what’s wrong, he grabs the corner of his clothes tightly and keeps shaking his head, “Wowo is afraid. I’m afraid… Dad, don’t leave Wowo…”
As he said, Wowo’s eyes were red, and he was about to drop golden beans. Xu Cinian didn’t know why, he just went to see the house, why did the little guy suddenly act like this? Not sensible? He wasn’t like this before.
Luo Xiaomao was also a little confused at this time. He thought that what he said just now scared WoWo, so he quickly rubbed his little head and said, “Wowo, uncle was just scaring you, what the hell is there, your father? If you want to go up, go up, uncle will take you to eat cake.”
WoWo was still unwilling, shaking his head, his face turned red, and he kept saying, “Wowo wants to be with Dad. Together……”
At this time, the phone that the owner urged to call came, and Xu Cinian asked, “Mr. Xu, I remember our appointment time was 4:30 in the afternoon, right? It’s past 5:00 now. Why haven’t you come yet? What does this mean when everyone loses their trust in one cooperation?”
Xu Cinian quickly apologized, saying that he was already downstairs and would be there soon.
After the phone was locked, Wowo still hugged his leg and cried. The little guy used to be very well-behaved, but at this time, he didn’t know he was guilty of that stubborn temper, so he just grabbed him and didn’t let go.
“Wowo, let go, Dad is going to be angry.”
“Watch…”
“If you don’t let go, I’ll push you away.” He was so close to Xu Cinian and shook his head vigorously that Luo Xiaomao couldn’t see it anymore.
Well, your son is probably hungry, I’ll just coax him, you go up.”
“Huaaa!” Daddy…leave me…Dad! ”
Wowo cried hoarsely, it was like parting from life and death, Xu Cinian softened his heart when he saw it, but when he thought that a child likes to act like a spoiled child, there is no way to always obey him, so he gritted his teeth and pulled out the corner of his clothes, turn around and leave.
“Dad don’t leave me…Dad! ”
Luo Xiaomao walked across the road with the crying Wowo, still muttering, “I’m really afraid of you, little ancestor, walk around, if you can’t see your dad, you probably don’t have the heart to play tricks.
Wowo’s cries were getting farther and farther, Xu Cinian’s foot had already stepped on the stairs, he couldn’t hold back after thinking about it, he turned around and walked out of the second-floor building to chase Luo Xiaomao.
He turned around and out of nowhere a black car drove towards Luo Xiaomao like crazy.
Luo Xiaomao only cared about the crying Wowo, and didn’t notice the car that suddenly appeared, but Xu Cinian saw it all at once.
“Xiaomao stop!
He couldn’t help but shouted and ran forward desperately. The car was already in front of him in the blink of an eye. Luo Xiaomao finally saw the car at this time. Wearing high-heeled shoes, his feet were unstable and his body suddenly lost his balance. Losing the best moment to escape, the car roared, and it was about to hit Luo Xiaomao and Wowo.
Xu Cinian’s head was blank for a moment, and he didn’t even think about it.
Thinking, he jumped up and pushed Luo Xiaomao away fiercely, rolled on the spot, and the car rushed over and knocked him to the ground.
He avoided the fatal blow, but his head suddenly hit the stone platform by the roadside, In an instant, blood flowed.
Luo Xiaomao was pushed out and fell to the ground, his hands were too late to protect the little guy, and the little guy slipped out of his hands and fell to the ground violently, with bright red blood flowing out…
Everything happened too fast. When Luo Xiaomao came back to his senses, the crazy car had already run away. There was no number plate at the rear of the car, and it disappeared in front of his eyes.
He stumbled and got up, his whole body trembling with fear, “Cinian…Wowo…”
At this time, the owner of the second-floor small building heard the movement and came down to take a look, and immediately screamed.
“Ah! Help…..Help! Help”
The sharp ambulance roared, and the stretcher hurriedly carried them into the operating room.
Luo Xiaomao sat at the door of the operating room with his knees curled in front of him, staring blankly at the three words “in operation” that were lit up. The wig on his head fell off at some point, the stockings had a big hole, and one of the high-heeled shoes ran away.
He was the lightest one of the three to be slandered. He just scratched his skin and slapped his foot. The most serious wound was just three stitches on his arm, but Xu Cinian and Wowo were seriously injured. Whether it is life or death still has to wait until after the operation to know.
He didn’t understand how the three of them came out to play, how could such a thing happen to him. The car was obviously aimed at him. Xu Cinian had already foreseen the danger before, and even Wowo subconsciously wanted to follow him. But he took Wowo away in a confused way, and abruptly pushed Cinian and the little guy to the gate of hell…
Luo Xiaomao kept pinching his thighs in regret, when a rush of voices came from a distance. At the sound of footsteps, he wiped his tears, raised his head and saw Qu Cheng and Ah Si who was running over quickly.
“How is Cinian and Wowo now?!”
Qu Cheng stopped at the door and grabbed Luo Xiaomao’s wrist, his face was as pale as he had never seen before.
Luo Xiaomao’s mouth shivered a few times, but before he could say anything, tears fell again, and a pretty face was crying bells and whistles, “Brother Cheng… I’m sorry… I’m really sorry… If it wasn’t to save me, It wouldn’t be like this.”
Qu Cheng took a breath, took a steady breath, and tried to calm himself down, “Don’t cry first, what’s going on? They were fine when I called them this morning!”
“There is a car… … came at me, I don’t know what happened… Wowo was still in my hands at the time, and when I saw it Xu Cinian rushed over… a lot of blood…”
Luo Xiaomao’s words didn’t make sense, his eyes were red, his voice was hoarse, and his fingers were trembling as he spoke, obviously frightened.
Qu Cheng listened patiently, and after finally listening to all the passages, a gloomy face was about to come, “You said someone hit you on purpose? Did you see who it was?”
Luo Xiaomao shook his head and covered half of his face. , “No…nothing at all. That car had no license plate, so it rushed over with a whimper. I must have provoked someone who shouldn’t have provoked Xu Cinian and Wowo… At any rate, I…I…”
“Shut up, they will be fine.” Qu Cheng interrupted him with a cold face, rubbing his face, those usually shrewd eyes were full of bloodshots.
He couldn’t control himself and walked up and down the corridor, his face was expressionless, but his heart was beating like crazy.
When he was on the phone in the morning, he asked him to have dinner together after. He also bought a lot of snacks for Wowo, and deliberately rejected the regular meeting at night, but in a blink of an eye, the two people he cared the most were all in the hospital. …
Who is it, who is the black hand against them!
Qu Cheng clenched his fists and slammed it against the wall, and blood flowed from his knuckles instantly.
“Brother Cheng…don’t do this.”
Ah Si’s face was also pale, and he came up to comfort, but didn’t know what to say.
He knows better than anyone what Qu Cheng thinks about Xu Cinian and Wowo. The boss was able to risk his life to get out of prison, but now he has managed to hold people in his hand and encounter such a thing. No less than stabbed a few knives in the heart.
Qu Cheng waved his hand to indicate that he was alright, and turned back to look at Luo Xiaomao with a gloomy face, and there was a slight trembling in his voice, “…What about the little guy? How is he?”
Luo Xiaomao couldn’t say. When the words come, he can only keep shaking his head.
He couldn’t recall what happened just now. He couldn’t forget the scene when Wowo flew out of his palm and smashed to the ground…Wowo was still so small and his whole body was soft, and he was dragging him before. The clothes were sweet and called Uncle Luo, but when he was pushed into the ambulance, he didn’t move, his face was covered in blood…
Thinking of the moment before the car accident, Wowo was still crying and shouting, “Dad, don’t leave me behind. “The hoarse voice resounded in his ears, and Luo Xiaomao squatted on the ground with a sob, not daring to look at Qu Cheng at all.
“Tell me! Didn’t you hold him? Why did he come into the operating room and you are still alive! He’s only two years old, how could you throw him out!”
Qu Cheng grabbed Luo Xiaomao’s collar, and then He opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, his eyes were red, like a wounded beast.
“Brother Cheng… I’m sorry, I’m sorry… I really didn’t mean it… I’d rather die than let Wowo and Cinian lose my life for me!”
