Chapter 274

“Still in sentiment?”

Inside the carriage on the way to Datong Town, Ling Jingxuan was smirking like a fool, Yan Shengrui couldn’t help elbowing his waist. To be honest, he was also surprised. No one didn’t know how stingy the big bun was. Sometimes, he even wouldn’t spend one single copper coin. But this time, he generally contributed nearly all his belongs. The fact proved that all in all, their son was sensible and filial.

“Hmm, I really didn’t expect Xiaowen to be so sensible, Shengrui, now I suddenly feel so happy as if it’s not real.”

Without melodramatically denying it, Ling Jingxuan said so leaning against his shoulder, when the big bun was giving them the money, the small bun happened to come back. After learning what was going on, he also contributed all his pocket money, both kids were so sensible, which let him moved from the bottom of the heart. Even if there’d be more difficulties and obstacles in front, he seemed to have the motivation and perseverance to move on.

“Are you silly? That’s our sons.”

Look down at him with affection, Yan Shengrui stretched out a hand to hold his waist, on the face hung the same smile with him. As parents, was there anything else that made them more gratified than the kids being so sensible?

“Hehe…You’re right!”

The couple was so narcissistic, but that was their personal thing, none of anyone else’s business, anyway, in the eyes of the parents, their children would always be the best.

Today was the market day in the town. When the carriage drove into the town, the streets were crowded, they couldn’t be slower. After quite some time, they finally stopped before Guarantor Liu’s shop. And Old Zhou the carter respectfully gestured them to get down. Ling Jingxuan asked him to leave the carriage to the waiter here to take care of and let him go in with them.

“No wonder when I got up this morning, the swallows on the roof were chirping all the time. It turns out that I’ll have some distinguished guests. Brother Ling, Brother Sheng, it’s been a long time since you came last time.”

Seeing them, Guarantor Liu left the guest he was talking with behind and hurriedly went forward to welcome them. To Ling Jingxuan, he only admired him more and more, and felt lucky that he had made that decision to cooperate with him. Don’t see that they were still nesting in the village. Through the whole Datong Town, no one could compare with them now. And that was only the beginning. He could tell, soon, the two of them would grow into someone even out of his reach.

“Look at what you said. Is your place somewhere I dare come so casually? Last time, a large sum of money was gone here. I’ll go bankrupt if I come a few more times.”

Rarely in a good mood, Ling Jingxuan joked with him, which made Guarantor laugh. He hurriedly invited them to go in to sit, “I heard than you grew late rice at the end of last month? Will it grow in here?”

Many squires and rich families in Datong Town had heard about it, and most of them were watching in the dark. If they could really grow it this year, maybe next year, most of those landlords would plan on late rice thing. However, it was unknown whether they’d succeed or not. Everyone only focused on them racing against time for the rice seedlings transplanting, but no one noticed their topdressing before that to nourish the land.

“I don’t know. But there will be an answer in two months. Even if I fail, it’s just a waste of some seedlings. But if I can really reap some grains, even if the output is not as much as the early season rice, at least, it’s enough for our daily food, right?”

Ling Jingxuan wouldn’t be called Ling Jingxuan if someone could trick some secret out of him.

“So, you also have no idea whether you can really grow out things?”

Surprised, Guarantor Liu stared. Hiding behind his surprising was the sharp perception. He barely missed no slight change of Ling Jingxuan’s expression. Giving his understanding of them, they wouldn’t do things they were uncertain of.

“Hehe…that’s right, now you know how much my dad loves those fields. I saw that he stared at the fields blankly every day, and murmured things like ‘pity the planting season has passed’. You know, the Zhou family I bought last time happened to be southerners. They said in the south they basically grow two seasons of rice, so I want to let my dad have a try. Just do it to make him happy.”

Wearing a calm shallow smile on that face which looked fairer and prettier than a few months ago, Ling Jingxuan said reasonably. Even an old fox like Guarantor Liu couldn’t tell which word of him was true and which was false. So, excepting believing him, he had no other choice.

“Brother Ling is really a filial man. That’s right. He has been working hard all his life, as his son, you should spend some money to make him happy.”

Giving up nosing, Guarantor Liu nodded approvingly.

“Guarantor Liu, today I have something huge to ask for you help, but before that, I wonder if you have some better carriages. I’d like to buy three or four.”

Fifty thousand mu of land, it was at least several li’s journey from one end to the other. It was already a huge problem to send the workers food everyday. But with carriages, it wouldn’t be a problem. When they earned enough money in the future, he planned to build a manor every seven or eight li, which would make it easier for him to manage everything. But for the first year, he had to grow things himself. But the next year, he’d change some other way. But that was the after story.
