Then I went to visit family and friends in each house in the town, there were quite a few New Year's greetings, José had completely broken off his relationship with Carmen, naturally he would not visit them this year, they just needed to give Carmen the money for the first month's pension.
When José went to give money, Lola saw that he did not bring any gifts and she began to scold José for not being filial. José turned around and left without even entering the door. Now that he no longer takes them seriously, he feels much better.
Leo's family came over in the afternoon and Maria brought out the snacks she had prepared in advance for Antorio and Sara to eat, mainly some halva, preserved fruits, dried meat, and some homemade nuts.
Antonio was completely attracted to Selena when he saw her. He felt that Selena would become very different after not seeing her for a few days. There is a soft glow on her face and her lips look moist. Wearing a pink wool cape-style coat, she looked very delicate and charming, making people feel like they were meeting an aristocratic young lady.
Selena herself knows that she is beautiful and is used to the attention of others. So she doesn't care about other people's opinions. Because the milk that her family buys at Lucía's house is often delivered by Sara. Time and time again, she and Sara were going to have a pretty good relationship. They sat in Maria's room and chatted for a while, and then Selena took Sara back to her room.
Her room is now much nicer than when he moved in and is not as simple as it was at the beginning. In addition to the bed, wardrobes and dressing table, there is also an additional sofa. This sofa is very convenient for Selena, when she usually massages her legs with essential oil, she is afraid that the essential oil will fall on the bed, so she remains standing while she does the massage. It is much more convenient to have a sofa, you can sit comfortably on it to dry your hair, and you can also apply some oil for massage.
Joseph knew that his daughter liked to bathe, so he went to the city to see some styles of screens, and then he made a wooden screen himself, specially used to separate the bathtub, which was safe and did not wet the surrounding area.
There is a rug on the stone floor from the bed to the dresser, it is warm and your bare feet don't feel cold when walking on it. You don't need to put on shoes after you shower, just walk in. Although it's not Sara's first time coming here, she always envies the skin care products and cosmetics on Selena's dressing table.
Selena saw her eyes widen and thought Sara was kind of cute. She remembered that it was like that when she first came here and that she might not be as popular as Sara. She found that Sara's cheeks were still a little dry and flaky even though she had applied some skin care oil, so she found a box of things, opened the lid, and let her take some and rub it on her face. Sara rub a little carefully, then applied it and smelled it, it smelled very good.
Selena gave this box of balm directly to Sara. She originally wanted to give Sara a box of blusher, but Iris broke many boxes before. In addition, Selena mainly uses skin care creams and rarely has cosmetic blushes or lipsticks. She thought that Sara needs to solve the problem of dry skin, so she gave her a skin care cream.
Sara was so happy to receive the balm that she wiped her face twice, and then the two sat on the couch and chatted non-stop.
Basically Sara was talking, while Selena was listening and thinking about what new products to make this year. When Sara remembered something and she whispered mysteriously. Hearing it, Selena's heart skipped a beat and she couldn't help but ask more, "Really?"
"What? Pedro wants to buy Flower Mountain? How... is this possible?"
Selena saw the expressions of disbelief on Joseph and Mary's faces, straightened up and said seriously: "At first I thought Sara might have made a mistake, so I didn't tell you right away. But Sarah said it was the village chief's son who told her personally. Pedro and his partner secretly went to the village chief's house yesterday to discuss the purchase of a mountain, I am afraid this is true."
"Peter is doing business in the city of Beerspa. How could he come so far to buy a mountain?"
Maria asked confused. Selena was silent for a while. In fact, most people would find it strange that although the government now allows the buying and selling of mountain land, and farmers can also buy and sell their land among themselves, who would buy the mountain? It cannot grow crops in large quantities like flat land, and its cost performance is low.
José seemed to realize something and was about to say something but he stopped. Suddenly, his face didn't look as good as before.
Selena sat at the table and rested her arms on the table and said, "Mom is right. I didn't pay much attention to it when I first found out. But then I thought about it carefully and I really felt that something was wrong. Dad, mom, Think about it. Peter didn't buy so much fertile land nearby, but decided to buy the mountain behind our house. Isn't this unusual?
He owns a grocery store and instead of doing business, he travels so far to buy a mountain, isn't that a little unreasonable? Even if he bought it, why would he hide and avoid us? "
What do he wants to do?" Maria also started feeling uneasy.
Selena, with a serious expression, bluntly exposed, "I guess Pedro wants to buy Fragrant Mountain to control us."
Then she looked at Jose and continued, "Dad, think about it. If Pedro buys the Flower Mountain behind our house, it'll be his. He might not let us go up the mountain to pick flowers for making products. That means we'll have to find far to another place, and there are many kinds of flowers in the Flower Mountain, which may not be as complete in other mountains. Then we will have to buy it, and we cannot eran as much money as now. We lose time and earn less.
"Pedro isn't that kind of person, right?" Maria asked uncertain.
"Mom, I'm not saying he's doing us harm, but I think he just wants to buy Flower Mountain. If we continue to cooperate, he might let us go to the mountain to pick flowers at will. But if we don't want to collaborate with him in the future, naturally, he won't let us go up the mountain to pick flowers. He wants to cut us off, he wants us to only work with him. "
After hearing this, Jose slammed the table angrily, "I didn't expect him to have that idea! No wonder he kept asking me about the formula of the essential oil and blusher last year. Fortunately, I didn't tell him."
In fact, it may only cost him a few dozen gold and silver coins to buy the mountain, but he can control his family, and the profits this way far exceed the value of a dozen Flower Mountain.
