Chapter 741 Return to Nature
"So you really plan to farm?" In the living room, Luo Ni asked in surprise after knowing her daughter's next plan.
Luo Quan took a bite of the egg fried rice in the bowl and nodded: "Yes, after all, no one has made this kind of pastoral style video, and there are indeed people abroad who like to watch it. I feel it is quite promising.
In addition, Mom, go ask your grandparents if our hometown has been developed and how many fields are left for planting. "
Luo Quan's grandparents came from the mountains. When they were studying, they had to walk two hours on the mountain road to go to school in the next town.
Now the town is getting bigger and bigger, but there are not many people in the mountains anymore.
Because the mountain roads are difficult to walk and no one repairs them, the young people go out to work directly when they grow up. The old people in the mountains also stay in this land forever as the years go by.
That is to say, during the Chinese New Year when she was a child, Luo Quan would be taken by her grandparents to the mountains to worship her ancestors, otherwise she would not have remembered that there was actually a large piece of land at home.
Land like this is actually not uncommon in Yuzhou. There are many mountains there, and people rely on the mountains to live on. But in comparison, most young people still hope that the government can consider their own land when planning new buildings. The land is also enclosed.
Nowadays, the surest way to get rich overnight is probably to use demolition compensation as compensation.
After hearing her daughter talk about business, Luo Ni also took out her mobile phone and started a video chat with her mother's home.
The video call went through, and my grandpa answered it at home.
Luo Ni and her daughter first showed concern and greetings, and told her grandfather that they would come back with their two granddaughters to visit them soon.
Then he asked about his hometown.
"Hometown?" Grandpa Luo Quan thought for a while and then replied: "It is said that many young people have gone back now, and they are doing live broadcasts in the mountains, on that fast-hand-slow-foot platform, and the battles are very big!"
"Then it doesn't occupy our land, right?"
"No, I went back with your mother during the Qingming Festival. The mud house of our house has collapsed, but the fields behind it are still there, and the trees and bamboos have not been cut down. They are all still fine.
By the way, why are you asking this? "
"Your granddaughter also wants to make a video and do a live broadcast, saying that she wants to promote the Chinese landscape and pastoral culture." Luo Ni patted her daughter on the shoulder.
After hearing this, the old man shook his head: "Didn't you say that you are doing very well in music now? You are still an international star, why are you doing these things?
Those energetic guys on Douyin and Kuaishou are just like Tianbang (dialect, which can be understood as sand sculpture). Luo Quan, you don’t want to learn it! "
"Grandpa, you misunderstood." Luo Quan was a bit dumbfounded, "I am still a little different from the content on those short video platforms. Those are just pretending to be crazy to gain attention. I am serious about farming."
"You still farm?" Grandpa grinned and almost lost his teeth in laughter. "You don't look like a farmer like this. The hoe is so heavy. How many times can you swing it?"
The corners of Luo Quan's lips curled up: "Don't underestimate your granddaughter. I am stronger than you think. As for farming, you can learn it with a little effort. It's not like you don't know how smart I am, your granddaughter."
"Okay, okay." The old man nodded repeatedly, "Then you go ahead and plant it, and I will see what you can produce."
The old man must be very happy to have his daughter and granddaughter back. As for farming, to be honest, he doesn't care at all.
How many young people today are good at farming? It's already pretty good if you can understand how to cook, but also farming, it's completely the young lady's fate that depends on the maid's heart.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Ni looked at her daughter and laughed: "It seems that your grandpa is not optimistic about your career."
"That's because they don't know what their granddaughter is capable of." Luo Quan smiled proudly and continued to eat the rice in the bowl.
The plan has been made and the situation is almost understood. Luo Quan is also preparing to return to his hometown in Yuzhou to start live broadcasting.
Going with her were Mom, sister and Wen Xia. Leon stayed in Shanghai to prepare for filming the show, while Mia wanted to visit the capital and feel the atmosphere of the Chinese capital.
The next day, the four of them took the morning flight and arrived in Yuzhou. It was ridiculously hot on the July morning.
Even though I have lived here for more than ten years, I still can't get used to it no matter how many times I experience it.
And compared to when I was a child, the summer in Yuzhou is getting hotter and hotter now. Last year, for a period of time it even reached 40 degrees, and the weather forecast was a red alert for high temperatures.
In that kind of weather, if you fainted from heat stroke on the road, you might actually get cooked.
However, the situation this year seems to be slightly better than last year. Compared with the same period last year, the temperature was about two degrees lower and not so hot.
But even in the coolest mornings and evenings, the temperature is above 30 degrees, making it impossible to survive without turning on the air conditioner.
Fortunately, Luo Quan had received a bottle of Bingji Jade Bone Cream from the system before. Applying it once a day for ten days can permanently improve the skin quality and speed up the skin's heat dissipation function.
This is also why Wen Xia said before that her body felt icey and slippery.
I originally thought this was a useless ointment, but now it seems that she was too hasty.
In the hot weather of the universe, it is really comfortable to accelerate the heat dissipation of the skin. Although it does not make you feel like you are in an air-conditioned room, it does not make you sweat profusely while sitting still.
After riding for nearly twenty minutes, Luo Ni, mother and daughter returned to the community where their elders lived.
Two old people were enjoying the shade and chatting with a group of old friends under a tree. Because their backs were turned, they didn't see their daughters and granddaughters coming back.
"Grandpa and grandma." Luo Quan gently patted the old man's shoulder and shouted.
"Oh Quanquan, you are finally back!" Grandma grabbed Luo Quan's arm in surprise, with a smile on her face.
"This is Luo Quan, my God, it's so big." A group of old neighbors also looked at Luo Quan in surprise.
Luo Quan has lived in this community since she was born, and these neighbors have lived here even longer than she has. It can be said that they have watched her grow up.
When Luo Quan was playing in the community, the neighbors said that this girl was so beautiful that she didn't know how beautiful she would be when she grew up.
Time passed by six or seven years, and the little girl had indeed grown into a graceful and graceful beauty.
"Hello, Grandma Wang, hello, Grandma Liu." Luo Quan clearly remembered these elderly people and greeted them warmly.
"It's incredible, Quanquan, I haven't seen you for several years and you are so beautiful now. What a transformation from ten women!" Grandma Wang looked at Luo Quan, shook her head and sighed repeatedly.
Granny Liu asked with a smile: "Quanquan, you are already twenty-one this year. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Sure enough, as soon as I return to my hometown, my partner is one of the things that my aunts and wives are most concerned about.
As for a beautiful woman like Luo Quan, whether she has a partner is even more concerning, because what these retired aunts like to do most is to serve as matchmaker.
"Not yet." Luo Quan could only smile and shake his head at this question.
Grandma Liu said with a serious look: "We can talk about it. If we can't talk about it in college, it will be even harder to find someone outside the society."
"What are you talking about?" Grandma Wang interrupted her old best friend's words directly, "What kind of conditions can you find in Quanquan that you can't find?"
"That's true, you two are really enjoying themselves now." A group of neighbors looked at Luo Quan's grandparents and laughed.
Having such an outstanding granddaughter is probably the biggest joyful event for the two elders in their later years.
In the past ten years, Luo Ni, their daughter, had been a constant worry for them.
Fortunately, Luo Quan really cheered them up. He was obedient and sensible since he was a child, and he also earned them a lot of face when they grew up.
Some time ago, Yuzhou TV station often came to interview them, for no other reason than that they were Luo Quan's grandparents. Everyone wanted to know how they raised Luo Quan from childhood and made her grow into what she is now. International great musician.
In addition, the neighborhood committee also comes to send them gifts and condolences during holidays.
Although they don't lack this now, this enthusiasm is really very satisfying.
And these are all brought about by my granddaughter.
Now when other people mention Luo Quan's name, the two elders become more and more proud.
"Grandma Wang, Grandma Liu, we will have a banquet in two days, and everyone will come then." After greetings, Luo Quan said hello to his neighbors before going back to their homes.
"Okay, I'll definitely come." Everyone nodded with a smile.
After returning home, Grandpa Luo Quan asked curiously: "What banquet are you planning to host? Why haven't we heard anything about it?"
"Let's do it for Yaomei. I haven't done it for the hundredth day and half of the full moon. Why should I pay for it all at once when I go back to Yuzhou this time?"
Luo Quan's words reminded the two old people that Luo Quan was not the only granddaughter who came back this time.
The main reason was that they had never hugged Luo Xi and had only seen her in videos before, so they immediately ignored her.
"My dear, I almost forgot about you." Grandma Luo Quan held her little granddaughter in her arms and teased her for a while.
"Yeah." Luo Xi grinned happily, not giving up at all.
Sure enough, it was a second-generation kiss. How could Luo Quan be treated so well when he hugged his sister for the first time.
"By the way, banquets are organized by wealthy families, aren't they? Wouldn't it be too extravagant and wasteful for us to do this?" Grandpa has always been low-key and simple. He has had many banquets in the past, but he has only hosted banquets for guests a few times.
"We are a wealthy family now." Luo Quan sat on the sofa, not knowing how to explain to the second elder how big her family was now.
Not to mention her father's property, the money in her own hands alone is enough to make her into the rich list.
Originally, she had planned to let her grandparents move to a better new community to enjoy, but the two elders couldn't bear to part with the old neighbors here, so they didn't change.
Probably because they had lived a dull life for too long, the two elders never realized how rich they could be.
As the saying goes, returning home rich but not honorable is no different than walking at night in fine clothes.
In the past, when relatives invited guests to dinner, they never reciprocated the invitation.
Now that we are prosperous, we should ask for it both emotionally and rationally.
Of course, although the flowing water seats in rural areas are good, there is no open space near the community that can accommodate them, so Luo Quan plans to hold the seats in a hotel.
Not down-to-earth enough, but at least impressive enough.
"Then I'll set an auspicious day." Grandma said, looking for a suitable day for the banquet on the multi-functional paper calendar issued by the community.
"No need to read it, I've seen it all, it's the day after tomorrow." Although Luo Quan really wanted to say that as long as you have a good attitude, every day will be an auspicious day.
However, the elderly believe this, so they have done research in advance, and the day after tomorrow is the best time to travel and have a banquet.
"It's true." Grandma nodded and turned to look at her wife: "Go call those relatives and ask them to come the day after tomorrow."
Grandpa took out his reading glasses from the drawer and put them on: "How much do you want? Can a dragon be placed in the community?"
"What kind of party can you invite?" Luo Quan waved his hand, "We are eating in the hotel. We invite as many as we know. Anyone who has a good relationship can come. Don't worry if you can't sit down, or you won't be invited."
"I'll make some money, but my tone of voice is different now. No matter how much money I have, I still have to save money." Grandpa also became educated when he heard that his granddaughter was talking so eloquently.
"It's been so long since I've invited you. It must be more crowded." Luo Quan quickly explained: "I usually spend my money very frugally, and I'm not as lavish as you think."
"In that case, it's best. Remember, no matter how much money you make, you can't forget your roots." Although my grandfather has never taught, he is still a college student. He definitely understands the principles of life better than Luo Quan, and his teachings are very effective.
As for grandma, she thinks it's okay to be extravagant occasionally.
Now that my granddaughter is capable, it wouldn't be a bad thing to treat her to a party to celebrate.
"I didn't say I wouldn't invite you." Grandpa pulled out the phone numbers of relatives written on his notebook. "If you invite them all, it would cost one or two hundred people. And those neighbors, that would be thirty seats, or It shouldn’t cost tens of thousands to eat in a hotel.”
Luo Quan smiled and said nothing.
If it's an ordinary hotel, it's indeed tens of thousands.
However, she booked a five-star hotel, priced at 4,000 per table, and her consumption was estimated to be more than 100,000.
You definitely can't tell the elderly about these things. If you tell them, you will probably be criticized again.
Although this amount of money is nothing to her, for two elderly people, this is a huge amount of money that they may not be able to save even if they save for several years.
So in the face of his grandfather's complaints, Luo Quan quickly comforted him: "You have to receive gift money when you come to the banquet. It doesn't cost much to go back and forth."
"Most of them are poor relatives. How much can we get? Just give one or two hundred yuan to one family as a token of appreciation." Grandpa said about the market prices of the older generation in Yuzhou.
When it comes to having a banquet, there are basically so many gifts.
If it's a good relationship or something important, he can mention it to someone higher up, but it's only one or two thousand to the sky, and he's rarely seen anyone higher up.
However, I remembered that my daughter and granddaughter were not short of money now, so I didn’t worry about it anymore, and started treating guests one by one according to the records in my notebook.
