Chapter 89
After his father Anduin walked out the door, he looked at the farmland that had become deserted outside the village that was waiting for reclaiming again due to harvesting. He hesitated for a moment, sat down at the door, took out the homemade hookah and took a few sips, and frowned deeply...
"Huh? Old man, why are you sitting here if you don't go to the field?" Aunt Vera was about to go out for a walk, but as soon as she stepped out of the threshold, she saw Dad Anduin sitting on the steps at the door, and immediately said amazement.
"I'm thinking about something." Dad Anduin knocked the ground beside him with a hookah and signaled Aunt Vera to sit down. "You said... what should we do with that piece of field?"
"What should I do? Of course I'm planting it. If I don't plant it, would you want to be in vain?" Aunt Vera glanced at Anduin's father for no reason.
However, at this time, she saw that Anduin's father seemed to have several more white hair than yesterday. When she looked at the wrinkles on his face, her heart suddenly became soft.
"Of course, it's fine if you really don't want to plant that. Anyway, our two kids and daughter have found jobs in the city, and they have paid a lot of salary. Let each of them take some of them out casually, it's enough to support both of us. We should have such a little filial piety."
"Nonsense!" Anduin's father angrily scolded Aunt Vera. "Although the children now have jobs and have good salaries, they still have their own homes and still need money. Did you forget? Last time the boss came back, he said that his kid planned to send him to Xinfei Academy to school since he was a child, and the cost should be quite large. The two of us old guys are good at hand, so why do we have to add burden to the children?"
Aunt Vera kindly persuaded her, but was scolded by Anduin's father. She was immediately displeased and glared at Anduin's father fiercely: "What do you want?"
"I didn't think about it, I just hesitated. You said... should we plant wheat in our land like in previous years, or would we plant something else?"
"Change? What to plant?" Aunt Vera asked in surprise.
"Didn't the Cantona Chamber of Commerce visit our village a few days ago and said that it would contract the land in our village to plant fruit trees. I thought, instead of contracting it for them to plant, it would be better for me to plant it myself. Why do we have planted fruit trees for a few years before and have experience? If we planted it ourselves, the money we earned would definitely be better than sending it to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce."
Aunt Vera gave Anduin's father a blank look: "If you really want to make money from the fields, you might as well learn from the rest of the village to hand over the fields to the Cantona Chamber of Commerce. Based on our family's ten acres of land, we can have a minimum of 30 gold coins a year. After you have free time, you can find some jobs to work in other chambers of commerce. Wouldn't you make a lot of money in the end?"
"That's different. After all, this place is my own. I always feel uncomfortable when I hand it over to others and get the money." Anduin's father shook his head. "Besides, I don't like to do some interesting work in those chambers of commerce. Compared to this, I still prefer to toss in the fields."
Aunt Vera couldn't help but sigh.
Based on her understanding of Anduin's father for more than 30 years since she married Anduin's father, usually, although he seemed to be hesitating at this time, he had already made up his mind.
"Okay. Since you want to do it so much, then do it well. Anyway, it's good to make more money. Even if you lose, you won't lose much, and you won't die." Aunt Vera expressed support to Anduin's father as always.
"Hehe, since you said that, then that's what you decided."
With Aunt Vera's support, Anduin's father immediately made up his mind and immediately felt his heart lit up. He knocked his homemade hookah on the ground and got up.
"I'll go to the city again and find out how to sell fruit seedlings now. If it goes well, I'll start planting tomorrow!"
Seeing that Anduin's father looked very enthusiastic, Aunt Vera said angrily: "You don't look at what time it is now? Are you still going to the city?"
"What are you afraid of? Anyway, our village is now open to roads, and there are also magic motorcycle buses with Filson. This time I took the bus, and it took only less than two hours to go back and forth, and it was very fast."
My father Anduin has always been a temper that can leave at will. After leaving a word, he strode out of the village.
Although the Prana village, which is seventy or eighty kilometers away from Bangta City, was opened last month, and Filson immediately opened the bus here, in order to meet the needs of several surrounding villages at the same time, the bus stop is still located on the road outside the village, and it still has to take a few steps.
Who knew that before he reached the entrance of the village, a few dripping sounds suddenly sounded at the entrance. Dad Anduin looked over the sound and saw a medium-sized magic bus driving in from the narrow gravel road at the entrance of the village.
Anduin's father was stunned and thought to himself that the bus stop where Filson was driving suddenly changed to the village? The magic bus motorcycle actually drove in!
After a closer look, I found that the medium-sized magic bus did not have the sign of Filson's car hanging on it, but a sign was hung in front with the words "for rent" written on it.
After a moment of froze, Anduin's father realized that this should be the medium-sized magic bus that was very popular in Bonta City in the past two months, so the city people called it a taxi.
However, I heard that renting this thing is much more expensive than buses, so now those who can afford it are rich people in the city.
And now this taxi actually ran from the city to the village of Prana, which is so far away, and it costs a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Anduin's father hurriedly gave in to the side of the road.
Although the nobles and merchants in Bonta were more honest than other parts of the kingdom when Count Samo was the city lord, now they became even more honest after His Highness Sevini served as the city lord. However, compared with these men, he, an ordinary farmer, was humble after all, and he dared not block their way.
However, strangely, this medium-sized magic bus stopped beside Anduin's father.
The car window close to Dad Anduin's side opened, and a sweet-looking and quiet temperament. It seemed that the young and beautiful girl who shouldn't appear in a remote countryside should have stuck her head out and showed a sweet smile to Dad Anduin's.
"Hello. Is this Prana Village?"
Dad Anduin looked inside the car in shock and found that in addition to this young and beautiful girl, there were two dwarves and a male elf in the two medium-sized magic buses, and three human males, one was younger, while the other two looked at least more than forty.
"Ah, yes, this is Prana Village." Dad Anduin nodded. "Did you come from Bonta? What are you doing in our village?"
"We are here to inspect." The young girl responded. She thought for a while, turned around and got out of the car from the other side, and then explained to the driver in charge of driving in front: "Find an empty place and stop, we have already arrived."
After the driver drove the medium-sized magic bus away again, the young girl walked to Anduin's father again and smiled every day: "Hello, my name is Evita. I came here to inspect the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce. What do you call it?"
"Just call me Anduin." Anduin's father looked up and down at Evita, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You can be sent to the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce for inspection. You must have a high position in the Xinfei Chamber of Commerce, right? It's not easy to be so young and beautiful and capable. By the way, what are you going to come here to inspect? There is no special place in our Prana Village that needs to be inspected, right?"
"Thank you for your praise." Avita smiled slightly. "We are here to inspect the Magic Crystal Mine nearby. Dad Anduin, are you a native of the Prana Village? Then you should know the situation of the Magic Crystal Mine nearby?"
"Well, I've lived here all my life. I dare say that few people know this better than me. The Magic Crystal Mine you mentioned should be in that direction..." My father Anduin pointed to the southwest of the village. "In the past, the Falkao Chamber of Commerce mined this Magic Crystal Mine for a few months, and I was working as absent from work for a while."
"It would be great if you are familiar with it." Avita smiled happily, "Will you have time now? Can you please take us to a field trip? We are missing a suitable guide. If you delay your time, we are willing to pay you a certain amount of compensation, which should satisfy you."
Dad Anduin laughed and waved his hand: "What kind of reward is not rewarded? It's just a way to lead a way. What's the big deal? Well, I don't have any urgent matters now, I'll just take you there."
"Really, thank you so much." Avita turned around and waved to everyone who had already chosen an empty place to get off the bus, signaling them to come over.
When everyone rushed over, Evita first pointed the ground with his toes and said to one of the middle-aged men with beards: "Sir Dusa, the road project of your Amri Chamber of Commerce seems to be not perfect yet. The road has not been extended into the village at all. This is not possible."
The middle-aged man called Dusa immediately called Qu, "Ms. Avita, you can't say anything nonsense. This project was proposed by President Xu of your New Flight Chamber of Commerce, and then our Chamber of Commerce was instructed by the City Lord's Mansion, but it did not cut corners at all. The reason why the road was not laid into the village was to ensure that there were roads near each village first. As for the future, the roads must be laid into each village."
When Anduin, who was standing by, heard the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Yes, this little girl, the Amley Chamber of Commerce has done well enough. When our village had no roads before, I could only walk over to Bangta City, and it might not be possible to travel for a day. Now there is a road, even if I don't take the bus that Filson carries, I can get there in one morning just by riding a bicycle, which is much more convenient than before."
"These are two things." Avita shook his head and continued to tell Dusa's main pipe: "No matter what, this road surface is definitely not good now. If the Magic Crystal Mine starts to be mined in the future, such a road surface will be very unfavorable for the Magic Crystal transportation toward the outside."
"It's easy to say. As long as your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce is willing to invest, we can not only pave the roads into the village, but also directly into the mines." Supervisor Dusa said proudly. "Of course, your Xinfei Chamber of Commerce will have money, but it shouldn't be a big deal to lay such a little road."
But Avita shook her head slightly, but she didn't say much.
After Anduin's father explained to Aunt Vera, the group walked towards a mountain southwest outside the village under his leadership. (To be continued...)
