This is still a wasteland and belongs to the Kaoshantun area. In front is the bend of Fengquan River, and behind is the foot of Longpan Mountain.

Because Fengquan River turns here, the flowing water becomes much calmer.

This is a wasteland with a lot of weeds growing.

Although some people dig wild vegetables and cut grass for pigs here, it is still lush and green.

Apparently the land was extremely fertile.

However, because this is at the foot of a mountain and the terrain is sloping, it has always been deserted.

But Shen Mingxi likes it here very much.

During the most difficult days in the capital, she always thought that when her brother's leg was healed, she would take him back to Kaoshantun, buy this piece of wasteland, build a house, and then find a wife for her brother...

Unfortunately, none of this came to fruition.

Shen Mingxi wiped his face, his hands were wet, he didn't know if it was sweat or tears.

She took a deep breath, stopped thinking about it, and walked forward.

Not far from the corner of Fengquan River is a pond.

The pond and Fengquan River are not connected. It is a piece of stagnant water with green duckweed and other aquatic plants floating on the surface.

Between the pond and Fengquan River is a high slope made of rocks and yellow soil, which is somewhat similar to a dam. However, the terrain of Fengquan River is special, and even in the rainy season with heavy rains, floods are very rare.

This high slope is called Shilazipo.

Shen Mingxi turned around and looked towards the mountain behind.

Behind it is one of the Longpan Mountains, with a variety of trees, and in spring it is full of rhododendrons.

If she remembered correctly, next year the contract responsibility system would be implemented on a household basis, and those who met the conditions could contract land and even barren hills.

After going through so much, Shen Mingxi felt that he had no big ambitions.

It is enough to take care of my family and a piece of land and live a peaceful life.

Therefore, separation is necessary!

And obviously, after the separation, it would be impossible for them to live in the Shen family yard again.

The residential land there is not big. Even if the thatched house is demolished, the house built is not big enough for the eldest brother and second brother to marry.

Besides, she didn't want to live with the Shen family at all.

Every day now is a torture for her.

So they had to move out of their big house, buy a new plot of land, build their own house, and live their own lives.

Shen Mingxi was a little tired from walking.

We arrived at the hillside on the east side of the pond, where there were more than a dozen weeping willows. At this season, the branches of the willow trees were already connected to the surface of the pond. When the wind blew, the tender green willow branches caused ripples on the surface of the pond.

The ecological environment of Kaoshantun is very good.

There are a lot of sparrows, swallows and house sparrows flying in groups.

When conditions were bad in the early years, these birds were almost eaten to extinction.

Living conditions have improved a little bit in recent years, and with the strict management of the commune and the Longpan Mountain here, the number of these birds has gradually increased.

In the past few years, due to drought and few birds, the roots of the poplar trees were crawling with crickets, a kind of creepy insect.

But it is rarely seen now.

Shen Mingxi leaned against the trunk of a willow tree, with his head in the shade. Not far ahead was the flowing Fengquan River, and gusts of cool breeze blew towards him.

My tense heart gradually relaxed.

Such a life was once out of her reach.

She closed her eyes slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

Maybe soon, my family will be able to build a house here.

At this moment, Feng Anchen, who had climbed up with a slingshot, was stunned.

He squeezed the slingshot in his hand, curled his lips, and stuffed the slingshot into his trouser pocket.

At this time, Shen Mingxi also opened his eyes.

What came into view was a handsome young man with a somewhat impatient look.

He seemed displeased at being disturbed.

It turned out to be Feng Anchen.

Shen Mingxi propped up his hands and stood up, pursing his lips. After all, he was already somewhat familiar with Feng Anchen, and he couldn't just give him the cold shoulder. Shen Mingxi raised the corner of his mouth, "So it's you."

Don't hit someone who smiles at you.

Especially the little girl in front of me has such a beautiful smile.

By the way, I have dealt with this girl several times, but in my impression she always had a stern face and frowned, as if she had a lot on her mind. This is the first time I saw her with a slightly bright smile.

It was as if the sun, which had been blocked by Longpan Mountain, was rising again.

Feng Anchen quickly looked away.

Shen Mingxi didn't expect to run into him here, but this was also a good opportunity. She quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket, handed it to Feng Anchen, and said with a smile, "Thank you so much for what you did yesterday. I've already washed the handkerchief."

Feng Anchen was stunned for a moment. He had completely forgotten about this matter.

He frowned. Is there any reason to take something back after giving it to someone else? It seems that there is no such thing in Feng Xiaowu's place!

He pushed it over impatiently, but said, "You've used it all, I don't want it anymore."

Even though Shen Mingxi felt that his mental age was a few years older than this young fool, his face turned red instantly.

I think it's simple.

I remember hearing Shen Baozhi say that Feng Anchen had a very bad temper and was a mysophobe, even worse than his older brother Shen Jiawen.

Shen Mingxi was a little embarrassed.

She should buy him a new one of the same kind.

But this doesn't seem quite appropriate.

Forget it, Feng Anchen will stay in Kaoshantun for a while, and he will always find a way to repay the favor.

After Feng Anchen said this, he also felt that something was not right.

Even if you think so, you can't say it.

Besides, he really didn't think so.

Just when I was feeling a little uncomfortable, the girl opposite me blushed but still smiled, "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."

Then he quickly put the handkerchief back.

Then he said, "You can play here. I have to go back."

Feng Anchen remembered the slingshot in his pocket, raised his eyebrows, and his dark eyes seemed to be filled with fragmented sunlight. But before he could say anything, Shen Mingxi had already left with brisk steps.

Feng Anchen was a little scared. Fortunately, he left quickly. If he had left later, he might have invited her to eat roasted sparrow together...

Shen Mingxi met Li Qing on the road. Of course she knew that these two were inseparable, and they were always together.

So she was wondering just now why she saw Feng Anchen but not Li Qing. It turned out that she was left behind by him.

Li Qing was thinking about Feng Anchen, so after talking to Shen Mingxi for a few words, they went their separate ways. However, he glanced at Shen Mingxi's back in surprise, and then quickly climbed up the slope.

Thank you for the support of my dear readers. No matter what the results are, I will continue to write according to the established storyline.

By the way, let me say a few words to you guys, about contributing points to the circle by checking in, liking, and commenting. Through joint efforts, the points accumulated will unlock the circle, which will unlock the daily benefits of the circle on that day.

There is also a paragraph dubbing function. You can dub by pressing and holding a paragraph. However, I am still figuring it out. I hope that my dear readers will work hard with me to build this circle. In that case, you will also get a lot of benefits.

In short, it's just checking in, liking and commenting. It's fine once you get used to it. I'm looking for other functions and benefits. Also, I need to choose the circle leader from among you. Do I need to create a group? 　　 　 (End of this chapter)
