Xiao Xian then realized that the seaside farm was bought by i Xiang.
i Xiang had been to the United States before, but why did she buy a useless farm in the United States?
"Huh, Dad, wasn’t that farm listed under your na before it was sold?" Hu Song, after waking up and learning that his son had sold the farm, was furious and imdiately demanded to buy it back.
At first, the property certificate of the farm did indeed have Hu Song’s na written on it.
"Purchasing property in the United States requires certain qualifications, and i Xiang is not a U.S. citizen, but she really liked that farm, so she bought it in my na. As for why she bought the farm, I don’t know either," At that ti, Hu Song was still at the peak of his career, and i Xiang, in gratitude for his help, gave him a sum of money. It was with that money that Hu Song got through his toughest days and gradually established the Yuelai Building as it is today.
Hu Song was the youngest among the few at South Gate and didn’t have a lot of interaction with the above senior brothers and sisters. i Xiang was naturally a reserved person, yet unexpectedly, she extended help when Hu Song was in distress.
So Xiao Xian asked again about what actions i Xiang took after acquiring the farm.
Hu Song recalled that he was also busy at the ti. He had both elderly and children at ho, and i Xiang refused his aid, so he seldom went to the farm.
After buying the farm, i Xiang lived there for a month. The farm’s current general layout was decided by i Xiang.
Because Hu Song was busy preparing to open a restaurant at that ti, i Xiang disliked being disturbed.
Hu Song thus did not visit the farm frequently, only going there two or three tis in total. He rembered that during his few visits, i Xiang was mostly busy plowing, without any large machinery visible.
"What you see now at the farm, half is rocky shoreline, half well-maintained greenery. With such an environnt, Locke still thought it wasn’t good. You wouldn’t believe it, but when that farm was first bought, it was all barren rocky landscape, which led many people to think I was crazy for buying such an undevelopable farm," when it cos to gardening obsession, Hu Song dared not boast in front of his peers.
i Xiang stayed there alone, without hiring any help. In just a month, she cleared out dozens of acres of land suitable for planting. Those daffodils and snowdrops were sown at that ti, along with the basic greenery around. However, the essential buildings now on the farm were constructed later by Hu Song.
i Xiang cultivated half of the land locally and left in the second month after buying the farm.
"i Xiang always did things on a whim; no one knows exactly why she went there. I visited her a few tis back then, and every ti after farming, she’d stare blankly at the sea horizon post-sunset. At that ti, I didn’t know she and Senior Brother Bai were together and then parted ways. Both were quiet types, and reaching that point must have had unspeakable reasons," Hu Song sighed, unaware of i Xiang being a cultivator, oblivious to her struggles.
No pain can match watching a beloved age slowly before oneself while being able only to stand by.
The appearance of the Sea Demon Pine and specifically leaving half the farm uncultivated could possibly be deliberate acts by i Xiang. It seems all i Xiang did was laying groundwork for herself.
But why did i Xiang do that? Leaving that Cliff Juniper might an she hoped Hu Song would resu gardening, but what was the aning behind developing only half the farm?
Xiao Xian felt oddly manipulated, yet thinking further, how could i Xiang have known decades later a foreign cultivator would discover that Sea Demon Pine beneath the sea?
Perhaps it was overthinking. i Xiang’s arrival perhaps was rely to visit old friends.
With Hu Song’s matters resolved satisfactorily, Yuelai Building finished its reorganization, and Hu Song, accompanied by his daughter, returned to his ho country. It’s said he specially visited Beijing to see Mao Dazhu. Both were earnest and impulsive young apprentices when they parted, over half a century passing and seeing each other’s crane-like elder appearance brought both sentintal joy.
Mao Dazhu even made an overseas call, greatly praising Xiao Xian.
During this ti, Zhu Shijun, who went to Guizhou to "check" his "body," also called.
