Druid's Country Retirement

A table, a big pot, and two buckets of rice.

Li Hongbing was wearing an apron and holding a spoon in his hand, just like the cook in the cafeteria, greeting the children to line up and take bowls to cook in order.

"Master, what kind of cuisine is this? It smells so good!" Tiedan walked to the iron pot with an empty bowl, stretched his neck and looked at the stew in the big iron pot, and his laughter flowed out from the corners of his mouth.

"There's a lot of nonsense. You don't care what the cuisine is, as long as it's delicious." Li Hongbing took the bowl, scooped out a big spoonful, mixed the meat and vegetables together, and handed it to Tiedan.

"Take it, if you don't have enough to eat, come back and fight!"

"Thank you, Mr. Sir."

Tiedan held the bowl and grinned because it was so hot. He trotted all the way to the rice field, put it on the ground, picked up the bowl of rice, and picked up a large piece of fat meat with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

The fat meat melts in your mouth, and the meaty aroma fills your mouth.

"It's delicious!" Tiedan's eyes lit up instantly, he raised his neck, swallowed the meat in a hurry, and then picked up a pair of chopsticks of wild mushrooms.

The wild mushrooms are full of soup, and when you take a bite, the juice flows out, making the unique aroma and deliciousness of the wild mushrooms perfectly blend with the soup, making it more fragrant than meat.

It’s so delicious!

The chopsticks couldn't stop at all. The other children who had tasted the stew in the big pot all had expressions like iron eggs.

Just listen to the sound of snoring coming and going in the rice field.

Seeing the children eating so well, Li Hongbing smiled with satisfaction.

Greet the adults and hurry up to eat.

After lunch, the study activities came to an end. Under the leadership of Sister Cui, the children reluctantly left the Li family's old house.

Li Hongbing naturally said goodbye warmly and strongly requested that he come back to his old home for study next time.

One meal, so much free labor.

Worth it! !

The children left, and the old house returned to calm after the noise.

After cleaning up the yard, the whole family went about their own business.

The mother took her daughter and daughter-in-law to study the clothing styles of her unborn grandson and granddaughter.

Li Hongbing was lying in the rocking chair next to him, leaning against the brazier, reading medical books page after page.

At this time.

Ouyang Hua's voice came from the corridor of the courtyard.

"Brother-in-law, are you at home?"

Why is he here?

Li Hongbing put down his book, looked up and saw Ouyang Hua walking into the rice field carrying large and small bags with a flattering look on his face.

"Ah, my godmother is here, and my eldest and second sisters are also here. I didn't say anything when I would return to the village." When he saw his mother and two sisters, Ouyang Hua immediately smiled.

For Ouyang Hua, his mother and sisters still knew each other, especially after Shan Xing recognized his godfather and godmother, the two parties directly changed from friends to relatives, and it was not an exaggeration for Ouyang Hua to call him godmother.

"No Myolie, we went into the mountains at midnight last night." Mom picked up the chair and put it in front of Ouyang Hua, "Sit down, why are you carrying things here."

When Ouyang Hua heard that Shan Xing was born, his eyebrows twitched, and he quickly put the things on the ground, his smile became wider, and he complained.

"It's a good thing, so is the Red Soldier. Why don't you tell me and ask your parents to take a trip to the mountains later."

"It's only been half a month, what's there to say!" Li Hongbing rolled his eyes and stood up from the recliner. He knew exactly what Ouyang Hua was doing here. The day after tomorrow was the 25th, the full sun day, the day to give his daughter an acupuncture.

Picking up the coat hanging on the chair and putting it on, he turned around and said to his mother, "Lao Ou and I are going out to check out my brothers-in-law's houses. I won't be back for dinner tonight."

After saying that, he winked at Shan Xing and used his eyes to tell her not to spill the beans.

The last time something happened, I lay like a living dead for more than a month. If my parents knew that I had a big needle, I wouldn't be in such a hurry.

Shan Xing nodded silently.

Brother Hong Bing has already promised that he will stop giving needles to his daughter as soon as there is danger.

Only then did Shan Xing's worries go away, otherwise he wouldn't agree to anything.

After settling in, Li Hongbing winked at Ouyang Hua, who immediately made a sensible excuse and pulled Li Hongbing out of the old house.

Go to a place where there is no one around.

Ouyang Hua looked ashamed. Although he wanted to treat his daughter's illness, the condition was that he could not implicate others. If the Red Soldier did something bad and Myolie got pregnant, he would be at fault.

"Brother, I'm sorry. I didn't know that Xing'er was pregnant. I see that my daughter's condition has become much more stable recently. How about I wait for the injection?"

Okay, you still have a conscience!

Li Hongbing looked sideways at Ouyang Hua and shook his head, "The day after tomorrow will be the best. I don't know when the next full sun will be. Even if my daughter is in good condition, it's because I'm using acupuncture pressure. As long as it snows, the cold weather will be gone." When the Qi comes out of the soil, the acupuncture Qi cannot be suppressed. Once an attack occurs, the vitality will be damaged. Even if it is treated later, the vitality will be severely damaged and you will be plagued by all kinds of diseases."

where! !

Ouyang Hua's expression changed.

"Let's go, let's go to your house to arrange things first." Li Hongbing patted him on the shoulder, said no more, and walked towards the village.

Arrive at Ouyang Hua’s residence.

When Li Hongbing entered, he walked around the yard first, walking through the walls, grass, and gardens, not sparing any corner of the yard.

Wang Qian stood under the eaves and didn't say anything when Li Hongbing came in. She just walked around the yard, squatting down to pick up soil from time to time, putting it in her hands to look at it, and putting it under her nose to smell it.

A mysterious look.

When Ouyang Hua saw this, he just waved his hand and stopped his wife from talking.

It's been a long time.

Li Hongbing dusted off his hands, waved to Ouyang Hua and his wife, and called them forward with a serious expression.

"There are some things I can't tell you now. Just do it as I say. Don't ask why."

"You tell me, I promise not to ask!" Ouyang Hua nodded quickly, and Wang Qian beside him also agreed.

Li Hongbing strode to the eaves, raised his hand facing the yard and said, "Now find someone to dig out the peach trees. The older the stumps are, the better. After you buy them, plant them in the southeast, southwest, west, and south of the yard. These four positions.”

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Ouyang Hua didn't ask why, just took out the phone and shook the person.

"Go to Taohuagou to find Lu Dayou. There are many peach trees in their village and they have great Yang energy!" Li Hongbing added.

"Okay!" Ouyang Hua immediately contacted Lu Dayou.

As soon as the call was connected, Lu Dayou was still wondering why Ouyang Hua was looking for him. The two had a normal relationship and they met through Dr. Li. He only knew that Ouyang Hua was a big boss.

Simple communication between both parties.

Lu Dayou knew that Dr. Li wanted peach trees by name, and also wanted old stump trees, so he immediately agreed with a pat on his chest.

"Friend, how much should you charge? You can't save this money. You will save yourself trouble." Li Hongbing listened to the conversation between the two and interjected in the middle.

After hearing what Dr. Li said, Lu Dayou knew that this matter must not be simple.

"Okay, I got it. I'll take people up the mountain to dig trees right away. You call a car to come and pull them."

Finished solving the peach tree.

Li Hongbing continued to look at the yard, "Go and buy some kumquat trees, dieffenbachia, two iron trees, and a whole ginkgo tree. It's best to have them delivered today."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away!" Ouyang Hua wrote down the name of the tree and started to contact people.

Wang Qi felt that the atmosphere was a bit solemn and asked quickly, "Red Soldier, look what I can do!"

Li Hongbing thought for a moment.

"Sister-in-law goes to Aunt Jinhua and asks her to go to the village and ask for some mugwort. If you need dried mugwort." "Bring it back and divide it into three parts. Use one part to boil water. Water it inside and outside the house. When it is dry, water it."

Speaking of this, Li Hongbing paused for a moment and pointed to the bedroom.

"Part of it is lit in a brazier and smoked in the bedroom every three hours."

"The last part is tied with string to make door curtains and curtains for hanging in the bedroom."

Wang Qian was confused after hearing this. Why did she water and fumigate the house and make it into a door curtain? It sounded weird.

I thought so in my heart, but I didn't dare to ask why.

He hurried out to find Aunt Jinhua.

After making arrangements for the day after tomorrow, Li Hongbing felt much more relaxed.

Being prepared for a rainy day and preparing some means is better than having nothing at all.

It's okay, Li Hongbing said to Ouyang Hua.

"I'm going to walk around in my brother-in-law's yard. When the tree comes, come and call me."

"Okay!" Ouyang Hua, whose phone felt hot after calling him, took the time to nod and continue to discuss something with the person on the phone.

The two brothers-in-law's house is right next door, just a few steps away.

Li Hongbing walked into the courtyard gate and saw a group of old men sitting in the rice field. There were various kinds of food on the ground. The old man was holding a bowl and talking about it, and he was frothing.

"Hey, I'm drinking!"

Seeing the appearance of his youngest son, the father twisted his face and pretended not to see it. Wang Hai and Sun Qiang beside him couldn't pretend not to see him and got up quickly.

"Doctor Li, Mr. Qian said that you have something to do at home, so why don't you come over when you have time?"

"I just finished my work, why don't I come over and see how you design the yard!" Li Hongbing waved his hand with a smile.

The eldest brother-in-law grinned and said, "As I'm talking, come over and have a few sips."

Li Hongbing was not polite and didn't care whether the floor was dirty or not. He sat down, grabbed a pig's trotter from the clinker bag, put it in his mouth and ate it.

"It tastes good, it's Master Su's craftsmanship."

"Your kid has a dog's mouth." The eldest brother-in-law chuckled, took out a design drawing with a greasy hand and put it in front of his brother-in-law, "Look, this is designed by Xiao Hai."

Li Hongbing lowered his head and looked with wide eyes.

The design drawing shows the overall view of the house. The house at the back has not been changed. A ditch has been opened in the front yard near the wall, occupying the left side of the yard and built into a large pond.

This pond is quite big!

There is an acre of land in the front yard with a vegetable garden. Half of the yard is equivalent to more than 300 square meters. There is also a small flower bed in the middle of the pond, which is obviously a place that the elder brother-in-law plans to use for fishing.

"How about it, is it okay?" the eldest brother-in-law asked excitedly.

Li Hongbing nodded, there must be no problem with the design, there is no problem with the construction, and the amount of pond digging work is not large.

"Have you ever told your eldest sister about creating such a big pond?"

"What are you discussing with a woman when you are a man?" The eldest brother-in-law waved his hand proudly, as if he had forgotten the days when he wrote self-criticisms. The father and second brother-in-law next to him looked in admiration.

However, after pretending, the eldest brother-in-law added in a low voice.

"Your eldest sister said it's okay, but I won't be allowed to move in the yard on the right!"

What a coward! ! !

My father and second brother-in-law, who had felt a little admiration a moment ago, immediately looked at him with contempt.

"Then let's start the construction. It needs to be repaired as soon as possible. It will snow at the end of the month." Since the eldest sister nodded, what else could Li Hongbing say, looking at the second brother-in-law, "How do you plan to repair your yard?"

"What else can we do? The Queen has spoken, and we can only plant fruit trees and vegetables." The second brother-in-law dropped his face, with a look of despair, picked up the bowl and took a big sip of soju.

It seems that I foresee that as long as the yard is repaired, vegetable juice and fruit juice will be available every time.

Cough cough cough! !

The father squatted next to him and kept coughing, as if to hint to his younger son, please ask me how to repair the yard.

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes and said, "Dad, if your throat feels uncomfortable, take medicine. Don't expect anything in the yard. The Queen Mother hasn't spoken, so you don't even dare to touch a blade of grass."

Bastard! !

The father felt his heart twitching, and he had many strange thoughts about the new yard. But after hearing his youngest son's words, his body suddenly lost strength and turned into a long and helpless sigh.

On the side, Sun Qiang poked Wang Hai and signaled with his eyes to take it out quickly. Wang Hai took out a piece of paper.

"Doctor Li, the design drawing of the hot spring pool is out. There was a project a few days ago that was very tight, so I didn't have time to give it to you."

Hot spring pool?

Li Hongbing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered that he asked Wang Hai to produce a design drawing of Houshan'ao Hot Spring.

Counting the days, two months have passed.

"I'm not in a hurry. Let's take a look at the design first."

I took over the design drawing, which showed that a water pipe was pulled from Bailongtan and led to the outside of the old house through the canal. A pebble hot spring pool was built on the soil slope near the meadow, with a glass house as a partition outside.

"It's like this. I originally planned to design an open-air hot spring pool in the front yard. Later, I thought that the hot spring should be enjoyed while enjoying the scenery while enjoying the hot spring, so I moved the hot spring to the grassy slope outside the old house and built a corridor. Connected to the hot spring pool, the glass curtain wall can be raised in the summer and lowered in the winter.”

good! !

Looking at the design drawings, Li Hongbing made up the picture in his mind.

Soak in the hot springs with Shan Xing, enjoy the meadow scenery during the day, and admire the Milky Way stars at night.

Next to them, the two brothers-in-law looked envious. It was great to be the master of the house, and they could do whatever they wanted.

snort! !

"Everything is lost, a prodigal son, what kind of hot springs do rural people use?" The father resentfully denounced his youngest son's extravagance and waste.

Li Hongbing pretended not to hear anything and handed the drawing to Wang Qiang, "Can we do a good job with more?"

Wang Qiang smiled flatteringly and mentally estimated the project time.

The work of laying pipes and digging ponds is not large and can be done simultaneously. It only takes a week to complete.

The main problem now is to detect the water output of the hot spring. If the water volume is not enough, a separate water pumping device must be designed. However, detecting the hot spring requires destroying the mountain structure of Bailongtan.

Speak out your concerns.

Li Hongbing made some calculations and found that apart from giving his daughter acupuncture, he had nothing else to do recently, so he should be able to get it done before it snows.

"Well, you contact the detection team now, and they can come to the old house to detect the hot springs the day after tomorrow. The workers can arrive first and repair the pipelines and pools first, so that there are no mistakes."

"Okay, I will notify people to enter the venue today." Wang Qiang nodded.

At this time, Li Hongbing remembered what happened on Huancun Road and wondered if Fang Wanda had contacted Wang Qiang and Sun Hai.

"Have you received any notification about the Ring Village Road project?"

Sun Hai perked up.

"Received. The amount of work is very large. It is a bit difficult to rely on my design team alone. However, I have divided the project into several parts. I am responsible for the main design, and another company is assisting in the auxiliary projects. I will give you the final drawings After taking a look at it, we may have to wait until next spring to start construction after it is finalized. This amount of funds is huge, and this village has a lot of money.”

Li Hongbing waved his hand and said proudly.

"You don't have to worry about funds. The village doesn't have money, but I do. You just need to design."

Everyone gave a thumbs up, but the old man muttered with a look of pain on his face.

"A prodigal, that's not how you spend your money."
