Traveling through another world, the only favored husband [Farming]

Recently, Ye Sheng and Shen Yun were happily obsessed with making money amidst the wealth of money. They gathered together from morning to night to make various small wooden toys, and then sold them on the street.

Lu Mingyuan would often watch from the sidelines, give them some advice, and add some fashionable elements that are popular in modern times.

Things that can be played with by yourself are always more attractive than simple handicrafts that can only be seen. It is said that in addition to children, some young princes and ladies are also attracted to their pockets.

For convenience, they stayed in the restaurant.During the day, apart from accompanying Ye Sheng, Lu Mingyuan just looked at the account books, and occasionally explained something to the shopkeeper.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, he hired the shopkeeper, there is a family of young and old, and they should go home to spend the Chinese New Year with their family.The clerks and cooks in other buildings either signed long-term contracts with him, or directly signed contracts of prostitution, so they would have no freedom or vacation, but after thinking about it, he still said to the shopkeeper: "When the time comes, all of them will be on vacation. Five days."

"Five days?" The shopkeeper was a little surprised, such a long time!Those who work for others like them are extremely careful to keep their jobs. Even during the holidays, they don't dare to expect to have a rest, because they are afraid that a bad job will make the boss unhappy and lose the job.Now their boss promised them five days of rest as soon as they opened their mouths, even including a few guys who sold themselves, which is really generous.

"Yeah." He replied calmly, and continued to order: "Besides, each chef will be given a bonus of three taels of silver, and you will be the same. As for the fellows, each will be given six hundred taels of silver..."

After talking about some precautions for the future, he smiled and said, "I wish you all a happy new year."

"Okay!" The shopkeeper replied with a smile on his face. He was still immersed in the excitement of being able to get a few more months of money, and his voice was a little louder than usual.

"Do you know what to say?"

"know."

In the afternoon, when the guests were all gone, the shopkeeper gathered all the workers in the restaurant, and spoke impassionedly about the benefits they would enjoy during the Spring Festival, as well as a bunch of good things about their boss Lu Mingyuan, which was very emotional I strongly encourage everyone to work hard in the future...

Everyone agreed unanimously amidst surprise and gratitude.This year, those who are servants of others will also be able to live well.

Ye Sheng watched from the side, as if infected by their emotions, he approached his husband with a smile, grabbed his hand, and asked with some kind of hopeful eyes: "Are we going home soon? "

"Well, go home for the New Year." He noticed the different emotions in his eyes, and laughed, "So happy?"

Thinking of his previous life, he was always alone, and he didn't feel much when the new year passed.Now... He thought about it, and it seemed to be a little different.

Soon, Ye Sheng replied, "This is the first time."

"...What is the first time?" He blurted out subconsciously, but he quickly realized that what Ye Sheng said should refer to the first New Year's Eve together after they got married.

I remembered that before Ye Sheng married him, he lived at his second uncle's house.Those days were as pitiful as a little cabbage, and nine times out of ten, even during the Chinese New Year, he couldn't be more comfortable. No wonder he cared so much about this New Year's Eve.

"This time... I will give you a big red envelope so that you can celebrate the New Year happily." He laughed.

"New year's money? Who wants that after they get married? And isn't that what the elders give to the younger?" Even though he said so, Ye Sheng could not hide his smile.

"Don't want it?"

"Yes!" Ye Sheng hurriedly said firmly, he would cherish whatever he gave him.Moreover, receiving a piece of lucky money from his husband-in-law, just thinking about it, has a very strange and wonderful feeling.He is looking forward to this year's Spring Festival.

"Then let's go to the street to buy new year's goods tomorrow." Ye Sheng said.

"Okay, we'll buy everything you want this time." He replied, and when he looked at Ye Sheng, his eyes flickered with affection.

"Can you make dumplings?" Ye Sheng looked forward to that day, thought for a while, and suddenly tilted his head and looked at his husband-in-law and asked.

After being together for so long, he felt that his husband seemed to know everything, but he hadn't seen him making dumplings yet, so he didn't know if he could do it. If he could do this, then...that's amazing.

He grew up so big, no matter which family he was in, he had never seen a man who could make dumplings.But apart from his husband, he has never known any man who can cook. His husband always seems to be different from others.

When Lu Mingyuan was asked such a question by his husband, he instantly became embarrassed.When he lived alone in his previous life, he would indeed cook for himself, but he had never done such troublesome things as making dumplings, and he rarely ate dumplings. In his memory, it seemed that he had made quick-frozen dumplings twice. , so he still finds it troublesome, and it takes two or three times to add water to cook.

He tried his best to mobilize all the memories related to it, recalling the process of making dumplings, kneading noodles, rolling out skins, chopping stuffing... He hadn't practiced it himself, and he didn't know what it would be like if he was really asked to do it.

After hesitating for a while, he said to Ye Sheng, "No, will you?"

Unexpectedly, when he said this, not only was Ye Sheng not disappointed, but a little bit of excitement appeared on his handsome face: "I will, I will make it for you to eat."

Finally, there is something he can't do.

Lu Mingyuan was relieved, but he was also worried that if the three of them and Shen Yun didn't know how to do it, wouldn't it be very troublesome to make dumplings during the Chinese New Year.

The two of them said a few more words about their plans to go shopping for new year's goods tomorrow, and he suddenly raised his hand and rubbed Ye Sheng's side cheek lightly with his thumb.

"What's wrong?" Ye Sheng asked him.

"There is something." He said in a low voice, a very small point, which is similar to some kind of paint, it seems that he and Shen Yun accidentally got those building block toys when they were coloring them.

"Oh." Ye Sheng touched his cheek, as if thinking of something, he walked towards a certain cubicle in the restaurant, and Lu Mingyuan followed him.

In the cubicle, Shen Yun was worrying about a pile of large and small pieces of wood carved into various shapes on the wooden table. He held a small brush dipped in color in one hand, and a half-painted building block in the other. I don't know when it was stained with a large piece of blue paint, it looks much worse than Ye Sheng's.

After Ye Sheng opened the door, seeing this situation, he couldn't help but smiled, went to sit next to Shen Yun, "What's the matter? Isn't it easy to paint?"

"It's not just that it's not easy to paint." Shen Yun regained his energy immediately, and complained to Ye Sheng: "It's really too troublesome and difficult to do."

At the beginning, they all thought too simple, thinking that after painting these toys to make them look better, they would definitely be more popular.But after they did this, although it was indeed more popular and sold better, the matter of coloring was not as easy as they thought.

"It doesn't matter whether you paint a little more or less..." Shen Yun frowned rarely, and said with a bit of apology: "Also, I always accidentally overdraw the line, and then it's hard to wipe it off." It's gone... You must be very careful when doing this kind of work, and only you, Ye Sheng, can do it."

"Then I'll do it." Ye Sheng said with a soft smile. He and Shen Yun have been friends for so many years, and they still know him very well. feeling bad.

"Okay, I'll give it all to you." Shen Yun immediately pushed all the things in front of Ye Sheng with a smile.

Lu Mingyuan didn't have anything to deal with at this time, so he helped out at the side, glanced at the relaxed Shen Yun, and said with a smile: "In the future, if Shen Yun draws more on the calligraphy and practice his head, he won't make mistakes again. gone."

Hearing what he said, Shen Yun had a bitter face again. When Ye Sheng started learning to write, he was very happy to take him with him.And at the beginning, he was naturally very interested in reading and literacy. Most of the children in his village had no chance to go to school.

Most people think that going to school is useless, and it costs money and time. It is better to ask the children at home to help split two more bundles of firewood.And Shen Yun's parents, like most people thought, did not let any children in the family go to school.

Therefore, when Ye Sheng put some pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him to let him learn to write together, he felt it was very strange, he patiently learned it obediently for a few days, but it was only a few days. I really don't want to touch that brush.Trouble, can't remember, it's too boring!

He laughed dryly, and said to Lu Mingyuan and Ye Sheng, "It's better...farewell."

Lu Mingyuan knew his temperament, so he didn't force him anymore.After looking at the paint on the table, although it is not as colorful as modern society, and it is not bad from dark to light, but there are basically several main colors, which surprised him a little.It is said that these paints are made from sumac sap and tung oil. Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients is admirable.

After a moment of silence, he said: "Next time you set up a stall, you can try to bring these paints over there, and let those who want to buy things paint by themselves." He remembered seeing similar games on the street in his previous life , Many young people like to play.

"Is that okay?" Shen Yun hesitated a little.

Ye Sheng's heart was full of admiration for his husband, and he nodded immediately: "Then let's try next time."

The result of this test is naturally not disappointing, but this is a story for later, let's not mention it.

The next day, after he and Ye Sheng returned to the restaurant after shopping, Fang Lan, who hadn't seen him for a long time, came to him.

After all these days, this woman is much clearer than before. It seems that the matter between her and her husband is almost resolved.Then, coming to him at this time should be for the business they negotiated at the beginning.

Sure enough, as soon as the two sat down, Fang Lan's first words were: "I'm free."

Under the suggestion of the man in front of her, she kept making troubles at home, which finally made everyone unbearable, and finally made her husband compromise.

"Thank you." Fang Lan smiled at Lu Mingyuan, "Can we take action on what we said before?"

"can."

He talked with Fang Lan for about an hour, and finally decided to start the fabric and satin business together after the new year and the beginning of spring.Now that the restaurant's business is stable, he can give this matter a try.The technology in Fang Lan's hands is indeed commendable, and she, as can be seen from a few encounters, is also a knowledgeable and capable person.

After returning to the village, occasionally villagers came and went with smiles on their faces.It seems that in this pristine ancient world, the atmosphere of the year is still very strong.

After a series of things such as worshiping the stove, sweeping the dust, and doing New Year's goods, it will be the New Year's Eve.

That day, Lu Mingyuan truly experienced the most traditional Chinese New Year.Get up early in the morning, cook the paste with Ye Sheng and Chen Yun, first take a small amount of noodles, pour them into cold water, and then put them on the stove to boil over fire. When it becomes sticky, it can be used as glue to paste Spring Festival couplets.

He and Ye Sheng went to the home of an old scholar in the village to exchange a few eggs for this Spring Festival couplet. The red paper is black and ink, without modern fancy, but the words are extremely beautiful.When I got it back, the upper and lower couplets were still on a piece of paper, and Ye Sheng skillfully cut them with cotton thread.

It is said that every year people in the village love to find that old scholar to write Spring Festival couplets, because not everyone can write.And he, although he has learned to write calligraphy, but after thinking about it, it is better to leave the writing of Spring Festival couplets to professionals.

The old man was also happy to write, he didn't take the initiative to charge, but most people in the village would still bring him something in exchange, and a few people took it empty-handed, and the old man didn't say anything.

This New Year's Eve, Lu Mingyuan bought everything he needed to buy. Longan melon seeds, peanuts, red dates, dried fruit, and a few pieces of sesame candy were all on the plate.Shen Yun looked at it dumbfounded, "Isn't this too rich?!"

In the evening, he washed vegetables, chopped stuffing and made dumplings with Ye Sheng and Chen Yun.This is probably the first time he really made dumplings by himself.He was the one who chopped the stuffing, and Ye Sheng didn't stop until he saw that the stuffing was broken and couldn't be broken anymore, then put the dumpling stuffing on the chopping board into a basin, sprinkled some sesame oil, fine salt and 醢Sauce, then stirred it with chopsticks before saying to him, "Okay."

The noodles were reconciled by Ye Sheng a long time ago, as long as they are rolled out into dough, they can start wrapping.

It was Lu Mingyuan's first time making dumplings. The dumplings he made were really not very good-looking. Either there was too little stuffing and the dumplings looked dry, or too much stuffing made the dumplings hard to hold. It was leaked and crushed.Even Shen Yun at the side couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

On the other hand, Ye Sheng, his family, didn't know how to do it with his hands. With his fingers flying, a plump and unique dumpling was formed in his hands in two or three strokes.Lu Mingyuan watched in admiration, and Shen Yun rolling the dough beside him also rolled it quickly and beautifully.

From the looks of it, he can safely hand over the making of dumplings to the two of them.But just thinking about it, it is impossible for him to really do nothing and wait to eat.

Observing Ye Sheng's technique carefully, he learned to do it bit by bit, and after Ye Sheng saw this, he happily began to teach him.Finally, amidst the joy, he made some progress in this aspect.

The three of them had a clear division of labor, and each performed their duties. It didn't take long for the dumpling filling in that pot to be used up.The process was smoother and easier than he thought.

Seeing that the dough was almost used up, Shen Yun said suddenly: "Ye Sheng, do you think we should make another brown sugar dumpling?"

"Are there any dumplings filled with brown sugar?" Lu Mingyuan asked casually.

"You don't know, do you?" Shen Yun was very surprised, isn't it something that every family will have when making dumplings during the Chinese New Year?

Ye Sheng already had a good understanding of his husband, who knows a lot of new things than others, but occasionally gets confused in common sense, so he immediately explained: "It is to wrap a sugar filling when making dumplings during the Chinese New Year. If you see who can eat the dumplings after the pot, it means that he is very lucky, um...he will be very lucky in the next year."

Shen Yun added with doubts: "It doesn't have to be only one package, right?" After a pause, he said excitedly: "Otherwise, we will pack a few more this time, so that everyone can enjoy a lot of blessings together. "Oh, no, it doesn't make any sense."

Lu Mingyuan understood, isn't this similar to a lottery draw?In a big pot of ordinary dumplings, rush to eat that sugar-filled dumpling.In his long memory, it seemed that he had been exposed to similar activities when he was a child.

"Is there any brown sugar at home?" he asked.

"Yes, I'll get it." Ye Sheng answered him as he walked towards the kitchen.

When Ye Sheng brought the brown sugar over to wrap it in the dough, Lu Mingyuan said thoughtfully, "Let me wrap it."

Ye Sheng obediently gave him the thing, but he didn't move immediately after taking it, but stared at it for a while, thinking in his heart, what kind of wrapping should be made so that he can still recognize it after cooking?

Although doing so is suspected of cheating, he feels that making people who don't know happy is the most important thing.

So, the brown sugar dumpling, which represented good fortune, was deliberately squeezed in his hands, and after a long time of pinching, it finally turned into a strange shape to satisfy him, and the second one was wrapped in the same way.

However, his actions seemed to make Ye Sheng, who was supposed to be an 'unknown person', see something. When he wrapped two and was about to stop, Ye Sheng smiled at him and said, "Wrap another one."

After the dumplings were cooked in the pot, Ye Sheng served a bowl for each of the three of them. The hot fresh meat dumplings tasted beyond his expectation.

After eating two or three, Lu Mingyuan caught off guard and took a bite of sweetness. Without a doubt, he ate one of the three brown sugar dumplings.

He was stunned for a moment, and he paused with his hand holding the dumpling. Ye Sheng, who was sitting beside him, immediately looked closer and said happily, "Now, you will have good luck throughout the year."

He stuffed the remaining half of the sugar dumpling after he took a bite into his husband's mouth, and then said with a smile, "Well, Ye Sheng is also blessed now."

Ye Sheng rushed to serve this dumpling. It seems that his little husband already knew what he wanted to do at that time, and asked him to make an extra one. If he guessed correctly, three sugar dumplings One for each of them, there is one in everyone's bowl.

The plan failed, if he knew that he should have sent Ye Sheng to the kitchen to wash the dishes with Shen Yun, he would not have seen what he was doing.

Soon, Shen Yun yelled in surprise: "Haha, I got it too...Look, look!"

As expected, the last brown sugar dumpling was in Ye Sheng's bowl. After he took a bite, he asked Lu Mingyuan to take a look.

"Well, eat it." He smiled at Ye Sheng, "It's a new year with lots of blessings."

Ye Sheng obediently ate the dumplings in the bowl according to his words, but his eyes were always on him. When he looked at him, there were smiles on the corners of his eyes and brows. The clear and beautiful eyes were self-evidently happy and happy. move.

"Two years in one night, two days at five o'clock", on New Year's Eve, according to tradition, it is necessary to keep the year old.

That is, after the New Year’s Eve dinner, the whole family gathers together, lights candle pots or oil lamps, sits around the stove and chats, waiting for the moment to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new. Good luck for the new year.

Lu Mingyuan thought about it, and felt that it was really uncomfortable to stay up all night. He thought about this activity and let it go. Everyone went back to their respective rooms and had a good sleep.But Ye Sheng and Shen Yun's attitudes were very firm, and they dragged him to sit down in the front hall, and they must all guard together.

Shen Yun said affirmatively: "You must keep the old age well, so that the new year will be auspicious and happy!"

Ye Sheng nodded in agreement: "You must keep it, otherwise the good luck will be someone else's."

Lu Mingyuan: "..."

In the end, under the eager looking eyes of his husband, he made it to his side and stayed up all night with them.

But in the middle of the night, Ye Sheng leaned against him and fell asleep.He felt helpless, who kept saying that he must keep vigil, why the two of them fell asleep before he fell asleep.

Under the half-brightness of the candlelight, Ye Sheng grabbed his clothes, closed his eyes as if he was sleeping soundly and deeply, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, he didn't know if it was a good dream or the joy before going to bed lasted until the dream .

He hooked his lips unconsciously, feeling unspeakably satisfied in his heart, then lightly kissed the person in his arms on the cheek, and touched his lips like a dragonfly, before getting up and copying his knee Pick him up and walk towards the inner room.

Shen Yun groaned while half asleep and half awake, Lu Mingyuan glanced at him, saw that his eyelids were half opened, and said, "Go back to sleep."

"Oh, good!" Shen Yun replied vaguely, then got up from the soft couch and walked towards his room.Lu Mingyuan looked at his wobbly figure, a little worried that he would fall again.Fortunately, Shen Yun seemed to wake up after walking a few steps, and walked steadily.

On the second day, Ye Sheng woke up on the big soft bed. He rubbed his bleary eyes, scanned the surrounding environment, and quickly remembered that he should be watching the year last night. It's done.

"Are you awake?" Lu Mingyuan, who was dressed neatly, sat by the bed and asked.

He sat up from the bed and looked outside, "What time is it?"

"It's still early."

Ye Sheng wanted to reach for the clothes at the end of the bed, but was stopped by Lu Mingyuan. He looked up for no reason, and saw a faint smile on someone's indifferent face, and he said, "Look under the pillow."

So, he opened the pillow and saw a bulging money bag at the corner of the bed.He immediately remembered that his husband-in-law had said that he would be given lucky money.

Ye Sheng picked up the purse, and when he looked at Lu Mingyuan again, his eyes became misty, whether it was because he just woke up or some kind of strange emotion.

But when he reached out to untie the purse, his husband stopped him again.Lu Mingyuan held Ye Sheng's hand, stopped his movements, then looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Let's pay a new year first."

"Huh?" Ye Sheng paused, then quickly smiled at him and said, "Happy New Year!"

"What else?" he asked.

"What else?" Ye Sheng wondered again, maybe he was required to kneel down to pay New Year's greetings, that was really only done to elders!

"The New Year's greetings between husband and wife are always different from others." After speaking, he held Ye Sheng down and kissed Ye Sheng hard before he could react, and he didn't let go until he couldn't breathe and pushed himself away .

"remember?"

"Oh." Ye Sheng's wet lips parted slightly, and after taking a few breaths of fresh air, he responded nonchalantly, and then impatiently opened the money bag in his hand. Some reactions.

He neither glared at him angrily as usual, nor lowered his head in panic and was speechless.

This made Lu Mingyuan look sideways, when did he become so calm?

"Ah!" Ye Sheng exclaimed, "So much?"

The joy that could not be concealed in Wen Run's pleasant and childish voice, he poured out all the small bag of money, and seriously started his great business of counting money, he took time out of his busy schedule to look up Glancing at his husband-in-law, "Give it all to me?"

"It's all for you." Lu Mingyuan affirmed. In fact, he gave Ye Sheng's New Year's money just for fun. He really didn't care how much money he put in it at the time. Anyway, the large and small money is quite complete. The whole big ingot is there. There was also a tael of scattered silver, and a lot of penny copper plates were put in.

But at this moment, seeing Ye Sheng's beaming eyes when counting the money, he suddenly felt a little complicated.

"Did I...have I treated you harshly?" he asked.

"No." Ye Sheng said strangely.

"Then I'm usually mean to you?" He thought about it, usually he would be satisfied with whatever Ye Sheng wanted, and would give him pocket money, why is he so happy holding money now?

"Where is there?" Ye Sheng replied to him again, wondering why his husband-in-law would ask such a question, and then he got off the bed with bare feet and trotted to a cabinet and took out the small jar he used to save money. , put all the money that Lu Mingyuan gave into it, sealed it carefully, and then put it back on the bed.

Lu Mingyuan exhaled lightly, planning to think about this question later.

In the morning, they ate the leftover dumplings made last night. Afterwards, he and Ye Sheng went to the cemetery of Ye Sheng's parents at the foot of a certain mountain to pay homage together with the offering money paper.

Originally, he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but after experiencing the past and present in himself, he felt a bit of awe for such things, and knelt down in front of the tomb with Ye Sheng respectfully.

Ye Sheng's eyes were a little wet, and after a while of silence, he called out in a low voice: "Father...mother..."

"...My child is married now and lives a very good life. My husband is a very good person... He treats me very well. I can feel at ease when I see my parents today..." Ye Sheng said carefully She said calmly, her emotions seemed to have calmed down, "...I hope my parents can live well in another world..."

Lu Mingyuan also said solemnly beside him: "I will treat him well." After a pause, he added softly: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law."

Then burn money, sprinkle wine, and go home.

Before leaving, Ye Sheng took Lu Mingyuan's hand and looked back, saying in his heart, "Daddy, Mommy, I will try my best to live every day as you said, and be with this person." '
