Chapter 14 (1/2)
Fanhua Town, with a name of ”town”, is not a town, but a small village just hundreds of miles around. Because there is no town under Fanluo City, all the independent villages are customarily called towns. As for the name of Fanhua, it can be traced back to several decades ago. The farmers who first settled here planted peach trees in the village. In March, ten li flowers bloom. Looking from afar, the whole village is full of flowers, which is extremely beautiful. Therefore, it is named Fanhua town.
Fanhua town now has twenty-eight farmers with different surnames. Although there are not many, compared with the neighboring Qingtian town and Luoshui Town, where Liao liaoshilai's farmers live, Fanhua town is also bustling.
”Unexpectedly, the scenery here is so good!” Su Shuifu admired the peach trees on both sides of the two meter wide Village Road and the weeping willows hanging upside down around the big pond in the center of the town.
”Isn't the girl a native?” An old farmer, with a plow on his shoulder, was about to go to the ground when he passed by the pond. He heard Su Shuifu's praise and interrupted with a smile.
”Yes, sir. Is this going down to the ground?” Su Shuifu also said hello to him with a smile.
”Yes, when it's cooler in the morning, go down for a walk. It'll be too hot when the sun comes up.” The old farmer smiled and nodded to Su Shuigui and Lin siyao, and went on to the fields in the west of the village.
”By the way, uncle, do you know if there are any houses in the village that you want to sell?” Su Shuipeng remembers the purpose here and asks the old farmer with a smile. With linsiyao's way of spying, she can make sure that the two of them can't fall here at all. Come on, let's do it by ourselves.
”The girl wants to buy a house?” The old farmer looked at them in surprise. Man, it's a little more dull, but compared with the boys in Fanhua Town, it's handsome and speechless. The female is more beautiful like a flower, with a curl of money. And with the temperament of these two people, it's not like people who need to settle in Fanhua town in the remote area.
”To tell you the truth, we do have this plan.” Su Shuifu replied with a smile.
”Well, it's hard to say.” The old farmer thought for a moment, then shook his head. Although his mother-in-law did mention that the old Hua family in the East seemed to move their family to the city, it's hard to say whether they would move or not. Moreover, the flower family is in Fanhua Town, which is famous for its haggling. If they take both of them with them, they will be blown out on the spot by the old lady of the flower family.
”Uncle, we sincerely want to settle down here. If uncle really hears which family wants to transfer the house, could you please give us directions and ask ourselves, OK?” Hearing the tone of the old farmer, Su Shuifu seemed to know that such a family might want to sell a house, and hurriedly discussed and inquired.
”It's not an old man, I won't say. That family Alas, otherwise, you two should go to my house first, and I'll let the mother-in-law of my family to explore the family's tone. What do you think, girl? ” Seeing that these two people really want to settle down in Fanhua Town, the old farmer also has the heart to help. He thinks why not let his mother-in-law go to the flower house first to have a talk, and let them talk if there is a play.
”Yes, of course. I'm just going to bother you.” After hearing this, Su Shuigui agreed and apologized to the old man. He led Lin siyao to his home behind the old farmer.
The old farmer's house is in the northwest corner of Fanhua town. It's a small yard. The mud wall is only one person tall. You can see the scenery in the yard at any time. There are three main rooms, one on the left and one on the right. It is estimated that they are kitchens, utility rooms and so on. In one corner of the yard is a chicken house, a duck shed, and in the other is a tall persimmon tree. Behind the house is a low fence wall, in which there is a green vegetable field. It's nice looking.
”Uncle, your house is clean.” Following the old farmer into the yard, Su Shuipeng looked at the miscellaneous but not disorderly, clean and neat furnishings in the yard and said to the old farmer with a smile.
”Ha ha, my mother-in-law must be very happy to hear that. She's on her side. ” The old farmer scratched his head with a simple smile.
”What do you say? Crazy. Didn't you just go down? Why did you come back so soon? ” With a clear voice, the curtain of the left wing room was beaten. A peasant woman in her early fifties came out. After seeing her old man, she was followed by a pair of young men and women with good temperament. It seemed that she was not as old as her own daughter.
”Oh, whose daughter is this? It's more beautiful than the immortal! Click! ” The peasant woman pulled Su Shuifu, looked up and down, left and right, smiling and appreciating.
Su Shuifu was really embarrassed by her praise, and a flush rose on both cheeks.
”Come on, hurry up, pour out a glass of water for the two guests. I didn't see the girls were all blushed by you.” The old farmer nagged his mother-in-law a few words, and beckoned the two of them to sit on the pit in the hall.
”Thank you.” Su Shuigui took the boiled water from the farmer's wife, said thanks and took a sip. He was about to look up, but saw the farmer's wife staring at her smiling eyes. In an instant, it's red again.
”Tut Tut, old man, look how good this girl is! Watery! By the way, girl, how old are you this year? ” The farmer's wife once again praised the old farmer, and then pushed the old farmer away. She sat down next to Su Shuifu, took her hand, put it on her leg, patted her gently, and had a plan in mind.
