Before coming, Ji Siying had read through Xiao Luo's files. She was very clear about the series of things Xiao Luo had done in Jiangcheng, especially the massacre in Long Sankui's villa on a rainy night. It made her feel that he was a demon through and through. At that time, she had asked her superiors why the NSA wanted to recruit such a person. She had only received one word: confidential.
So, although Xiao Luo looked like an ordinary person, she knew that it was all a facade. In reality, Xiao Luo's hands were stained with blood.
She suddenly asked, "Mr. Xiao Luo, can I ask you a question?"
Xiao Luo was reading the news on his mobile phone while drinking tea. He looked up and smiled. "Sure."
"Why did you destroy the Dragon Gang?" Ji Siying asked.
She was not a girl who could hold back. If she did not get an answer to this question, she would always be thinking about it.
"Because some things have to be done. And I just happened to appear at that time, so I stood up and did it." Xiao Luo smiled silently.
"Oh."
Ji Siying nodded. She did not understand.
"Xiao Luo, it's time to eat!"
At this time, grandma's voice came from downstairs.
Xiao Luo put down his mobile phone and teacup and got up. "Let's go downstairs and eat."
"Yes."
Ji Siying agreed.
When Xiao Luo went downstairs, she quickly took out a small notebook and wrote down: Xiao Luo likes to drink Tieguanyin tea.
…
…
Grandpa and Grandma liked Ji Siying very much. Since Ji Siying came home, they had been smiling. Grandma was very active. In addition to asking about Ji Siying's well-being, she also asked how many people she had in her family and how many brothers and sisters she had.
Ji Siying was already prepared. Naturally, she could answer these questions fluently.
Next door, Aunt Tao Xiu came to visit with a large plate of fried purple potato buns. At the same time, she took the opportunity to see Xiao Luo's girlfriend.
"Hello, Auntie!" Ji Siying greeted her politely.
"Good, good. Siying is polite and beautiful. Xiao Luo, you are so lucky." Aunt Taoxiu was happy for Xiao Luo from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Luo didn't know what to say. Ji Siying was a fake girlfriend.
…
…
As the New Year approached, it was time for the pigs, fish, and ducks raised on the farm to be taken out of the barn. The pigs and fish would be picked up by someone, so they did not need to spend too much effort. As for the meat ducks, they would have to personally transport them to the town's market to be sold.
Luo Village was located in the south, and the most notable feature of winter was the sudden increase in rainfall.
The day of the market arrived. Xiao Luo didn't stay at home and not help out. He went to the market with his parents. When business was good, it was inevitable that some people would try to take advantage of the situation. Besides, it was always easier to have more people.
The rain was pitter-patter, but the market was very lively. The cold rain could not wash away the enthusiasm of the villagers.
"Son, I heard that you have a very rich girlfriend. She even chased you to your home?" Hua Heying asked.
Xiao Luo explained, "Mom, she is not a girlfriend. She can only be called a friend."
"Don't play dumb here. The girl has taken the initiative to come to your home. You must be responsible for her." Xiao Zhiyuan suddenly interjected.
"Dad, it's not what you think. She is definitely not the one I will marry in the future."
"What did you say? You want to be Chen Shimei?"
Xiao Zhiyuan opened his eyes angrily. "If you dare to be half-hearted and look at the pot while eating from the bowl, I will never forgive you."
Xiao Luo felt a bit of a headache.
"Master, how much is this meat duck?" A customer inquired about the price.
"Sixteen yuan per catty."
Xiao Zhiyuan smiled and grabbed one from the iron cage and showed it to the customer. "Look, it's so beautiful and fat, and I guarantee that all of its feathers will be replaced. It's very easy to pluck its feathers after cooking it. Buy one."
"No, no, it's too expensive." The customer shook his head at the price.
"Did you feed your ducks with rice or animal feed?" Another customer walked over.
"Uncle, if anyone tells you that his duck has not been fed with fodder, then he must be lying. He fed it with rice until it grew up. The rice eaten is enough to buy three or four ducks like this. Selling ducks has to make money. If there is no money to make money, then it is a waste of effort." Xiao Zhiyuan was honest and would not deceive the customer.
The customer shook his head. "I want to buy a duck fed with rice, not fodder."
"Master, why are the feathers on your duck's head white? I bought it for the New Year to kill it for auspiciousness. It is not auspicious to kill a white-headed duck."
"Your ducks are too fat. I don't need such a big one."
"They are all male ducks. I want to buy a female duck."
… …
Many customers complained and were nitpicking, but Xiao Zhiyuan and Hua Heying responded with a warm smile.
Xiao Luo watched from the side. This man and this woman are his parents who raised him. They are not cultured. With their diligence, they carry the burden of the family. Their clothes are almost wet from the rain, but they still stand there unaware.
It would be a lie to say that he is not distressed. Xiao Luo can now give his parents a better life, but his father, Xiao Zhiyuan, refuses. Everyone has a dream, and Xiao Zhiyuan is no exception. Xiao Zhiyuan wants to realize his dream.
"Dad, after the New Year, you can leave the farm to me." Xiao Luo said.
Hearing this, Xiao Zhiyuan turned around and glared at him angrily. "Breeding and planting are not your specialties. What are you doing?"
"I am serious. I don't want you and Mom to live so hard. You know, I have the ability to give you a better life now, so that you don't have to worry about food and clothing." Xiao Luo said.
Xiao Zhiyuan still refused: "The son has the son's career, and the father has the father's career. How can we mix it up?"
"The son inherits the father's business. I will inherit the farm sooner or later. Isn't it better to leave it to me to take care of it?" Xiao Luo argued.
Xiao Zhiyuan's heart loosened a little, but when he thought of how hard it was for him to sell ducks, and how he had to stand here on a rainy day, he didn't want Xiao Luo to suffer, "You should be your boss, don't do this line of work, you look so delicate, you can't do it."
"Dad, from the market until now, you have sold a total of four ducks. You can leave it to me. I promise to sell the remaining fifty ducks in half an hour." Xiao Luo said.
Xiao Zhiyuan's face showed a trace of displeasure. Everyone has their own pride. Selling four ducks in an hour is already very good. Now Xiao Luo actually said that he can sell fifty ducks in half an hour. Isn't this nonsense?
"Are you sure you can?" Although it is his son, Xiao Zhiyuan also felt that his pride was challenged.
"Let's try. If I do it, the farm will operate according to my business model. Of course, you will still be the owner of the farm." Xiao Luo said.
Xiao Zhiyuan was angry. "You mean my business model is wrong?"
"It is not necessarily wrong, but there must be a problem." Xiao Luo said.
