Chapter 107 It’s New Year
Hang Qi's arrival completely disrupted their originally peaceful life. They originally thought that being exiled to a remote mountain village might allow them to live a peaceful life.
But the man is innocent but is guilty of possessing a treasure. Now it seems that people in the capital have never forgotten Xiao Yongyan for a single day.
Now, Hang Qi has chased all the way here.
After Xiao Yongyan and Lin Xi discussed it, they decided that they could no longer continue to be Buddhists, but instead they had to start building their own sphere of influence.
At first, when Xiao Yongyan proposed these things, Lin Xi thought he was going to rebel.
Xiao Yongyan immediately denied Lin Xi's unreliable guess. He had no interest in the throne at all.
But now they have come to bully us. If we don’t do anything, we will be eaten up without leaving even a bone.
"But if we develop too well, wouldn't it attract too much attention?" Lin Xi said worriedly.
"You're right, so we need a name that can deceive people." Xiao Yongyan said.
…
After this dangerous trip, Lin Xi and Xiao Yongyan never went out again. Dai Laner did everything for them, including buying medicine and preparing supplies.
Xiao Yongyan was busy writing at his desk every day, while Lin Xi was busy overseeing the construction of the silkworm breeding base.
People in this world are not aware of the wonderful uses of silk. This is a huge business opportunity for her. If she can take over this market in one fell swoop, her future financial prospects will be limitless.
Lin Xi did not say this out of thin air. In ancient times, silk was known as the gold of the East.
In a place where people only wear cotton clothes at most, the appearance of silk will surely drive all the rich people crazy.
Now Lin Xi's mind has changed. She not only wants to make silk quilts, but also wants to expand the silk industry in all directions.
The people in the village did not understand Lin Xi's grand ambitions, they were just attracted by the salary Lin Xi offered.
Now, four houses for raising silkworms have been built, but this is not enough, she needs at least two operation rooms.
In fact, Lin Xi hoped to build a place that was big enough, but a building like this was far beyond the capability of the villagers to build, so he had to hire professional craftsmen.
It’s almost the end of the year, how could anyone come out to take the job?
Even Lin Xi himself has to prepare for the New Year.
For everyone in this era, the Chinese New Year is a big event that should not be missed.
However, there are only two people in Lin Xi's family, so many rules can be simplified.
The two of them just had a New Year's Eve dinner together on New Year's Eve.
The food is simple but the atmosphere is cozy.
Xiao Yongyan told Lin Xi that he had been writing books for some time, and he would find a way to circulate these books in the future to create the image of a hermit.
Lin Xi is very familiar with this. To explain it in modern professional terms, it is called building a personal brand.
As for what Xiao Yongyan's intention was, Lin Xi was too lazy to ask. She had no interest in politics.
"But transportation is so inconvenient, how can you let others know about your existence?" Lin Xi asked curiously.
Xiao Yongyan smiled mysteriously, "This is not difficult, all the news in the world comes from the capital."
Lin Xi still felt that it was not feasible. "The capital is so far away. How can you ensure that your message can be delivered and spread as you wish?"
Xiao Yongyan did not rush to answer Lin Xi's question, but just picked up some food for her.
After the meal, Xiao Yongyan insisted on staying up with Lin Xi to celebrate the New Year.
The weather was cold. Lin Xi was well fed and warmly dressed. She was drowsy sitting next to the charcoal brazier. Before she knew it, she fell into Xiao Yongyan's arms.
He carefully held the person in his arms and looked up at the bright moon.
If my father knew about this, he would definitely be happy for me, because I married a good wife and still have my life.
Xiao Yongyan picked up the wine jug on the table and scattered it on the ground. Then he ate the meal with his father.
On this day last year, his father warned him that a real man should be upright and work for the people and the world.
Now, he can only offer a pot of wine three thousand miles away to comfort the dead soul.
Lin Xi slept soundly in Xiao Yongyan's arms and slept until dawn.
Early in the morning on New Year's Day, Lin Xi was awakened by the sound of firecrackers.
The city where she lives has long issued a ban on firecrackers, and she hasn't been woken up by the sound of firecrackers for many years.
She opened her eyes drowsily and was suddenly shocked. Damn it, who was setting off firecrackers at her doorstep? The noise was almost deafening.
She quickly got up and put on her clothes, and then she realized that the person who set off the firecrackers was none other than Xiao Yongyan.
The air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Looking at the debris on the ground, Lin Xi curled her lips and said, "Clean it up yourself."
Xiao Yongyan said quickly, "Of course I will clean it. How can I trouble Madam?"
The custom in Taoli Village is that people spend the first day of the New Year at home, and starting from the second day, they can visit other people's homes.
This is the busiest time of the year in the small mountain village. At this moment, every household seems to have become close friends.
Every household opened its doors to welcome guests.
Lin Xi thought about it and wondered how many families in the village he was on good terms with, so he should go and take a look.
Unexpectedly, before she even left the house, someone had already come to her door carrying things.
The first to arrive were the Ma family. This family had five sons, wives, children, and two elderly people. They crowded into Lin Xi's yard and suddenly there was no place to stand.
Old Ma looked at Lin Xi gently, "It's all thanks to the pig farm you set up that our family is doing much better now. When the fourth and fifth sons get married, you must come and attend!"
The Ma family has many sons, and the two old people were originally worried about finding wives for them.
They don't have that much money to marry off each of their children.
Now, after following Lin Xi in raising pigs, the Ma family has suddenly become a high-income family in the village.
They don't even need to look outside. Some families with daughters will ask Old Lady Ma openly or secretly.
Soon, the family selected candidates for the fourth and fifth children, and they were going to get married on a good day after the New Year.
"In the future, if they do anything wrong, you can teach them a lesson. If you can't do it, tell me and I will teach them a lesson!" said Old Lady Ma.
The sons' mouths twitched when they heard this, wondering which side their mother was on.
"If anyone else does what he wants again," Old Lady Ma had not forgotten that they had not obeyed her at the beginning and had fed the pigs sick, "I will break their legs!"
Lin Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was too much exaggeration from Mrs. Ma.
After the Ma family, the next family came was the Wu family.
When Lin Xi first came to the village, the first family to help them was the Wu family.
Later, Lin Xi passed on the skill of making steamed buns to Wu Erniu. Now Wu Erniu's business is getting better and better. I heard that she is planning to buy a shop in the town and start her own business.
Aunt Wu was still a little worried, but Lin Xi thought it was a good idea. It was a good thing that Wu Erniu had her own ideas, and it could also provide some subsidies to the family.
"You say she is such a capable girl, who will she marry in the future?" Aunt Wu was not worried about anything else but Erniu's marriage.
