I heard that Mr. is lacking a wife [farming]

In the early morning of the next day, Yun Shuzhi didn't send Zhong Qi'an away, but he didn't say anything to him either.

In the middle of the night yesterday, Li Wugeng took him back to the house because he was afraid that he would catch a cold.In just a few hours, Zhong Qi'an healed and his scars forgot to hurt, and he started fussing after breakfast, insisting on eating dry rice, even radish and pickles were not tasty.

The three of them ignored him and cleaned up the dishes after eating.

Zhong Qi'an was very wronged, his feet dangled a few times, and his eyes immediately turned red.Li Wugeng couldn't bear to say a few words, but he thought of what he had just said, so he gave up.

Cleaned up the kitchen, took out the clothes to dry, and returned to the house, where Zhong Qi'an was still crying.Yun Shuzhi had already gone to school, and Taoist Xuanqing also went out on business, leaving Zhong Qi'an alone at home.

Li Wugeng sweeps the floor, wipes the table, and puts his work first. He is going to the town today.

"Would you like to go to town with me?" After putting away the broom, Li Wugeng sat opposite him.

Zhong Qi'an kept wiping away his tears, shrugging his shoulders, sobbing uncontrollably.

Now that you know how to cry, why are you disobedient?

"Your senior brother will disappear in two days. As long as you are obedient and don't make trouble, he will still treat you well." Li Wugeng comforted him, and handed him a plain white handkerchief to wipe his face.

Zhong Qi'an's nose was red, he took the handkerchief, and after a while he replied hoarsely: "Go."

"Okay, go and follow me and don't run around." Li Wugeng instructed.

Zhong Qi'an nodded slightly, and took the initiative to lead him.

"A man doesn't flick his tears easily, bear it, or he will make others laugh when he goes out." Li Wugeng wiped away his tears, took him out with money.

It's not an urgent matter to come to the town, but I just want to come early to order the clothes, so that the tailor will have more time to rush to make them.

Kong Shiyi is a well-known and time-honored tailor shop in the town. The owner of the shop is not there, and the shopkeeper is a woman in her forties.

Li Wugeng went in and looked around, but he didn't see anything he liked.

"You guys are not satisfied with these ready-made clothes?" the woman asked him with a smile.

Li Wugeng's clothes were all made by Li Changguan, and he had never bought clothes twice, and he didn't know what to say. After being stupid for a long time, he asked in a daze, "Do you have any clothes for Erliang?"

The woman paused for a moment: "Clothes worth two taels of silver?"

"Yeah." He nodded and compared with his hands, "about this tall, neither fat nor thin, he is a teacher."

"Is it your relative?" the woman asked talkatively.

"No." Li Wugeng replied.

The woman had an epiphany, and she stretched out her index finger and kept nodding her head. There are usually young people in the store who don't know how to sew and come to make clothes for the person they like. She thought Li Wugeng did the same.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount, but silk and satin cannot be bought. The woman searched in the cabinet and took out a piece of blue cloth. Although the blue cloth is not a very good material, it is soft and comfortable to the touch. very.

"It's the cloth woven by my niece. I made clothes for her father years ago and didn't run out of them. This cloth is naturally incomparable to those silks and satins, but it's not bad to wear. Someone came to buy it last time, and the price was very high." It’s too low, I’m not willing to give it to him, see what you think.” The woman is the proprietress of this store, and the boss asked her to come to the store to watch when he went out to buy goods.

Li Wugeng didn't understand these things, he only knew that it was comfortable to wear, touched the fabric, and immediately decided: "That's it."

He hadn't ordered clothes yet and didn't know which style would suit Yun Shuzhi, so he scanned the ready-to-wear in the store again, and found that they were all fancy. "Clothes should be plain and not too expensive."

The woman was also very happy to see him so forthright, she patted the table and said: "If you use this piece of cloth to make clothes, it will cost you two taels of silver. I will charge you a tael of silver first, and I will replenish you on the day you pick up the clothes. What do you think?"

"Okay, please trouble the lady boss." Li Wugeng said, paying the deposit.

"Come and pick it up on the tenth day of June." The woman said happily after accepting the money.

Li Wugeng agreed and took Zhong Qi'an out.

A ten-year-old child knows only a little about love, and thinks that buying clothes is an unusual thing.Zhong Qi'an's curiosity accumulated in his heart, and finally he couldn't help asking: "Do you like my senior brother?"

Li Wugeng seemed to have been stripped of his outer shell, leaving nowhere to hide.He hit Zhong Qi'an on the head, and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense! My family Baoyun is in the school, and it is right for your senior brother to give you a piece of clothing after his death. Besides, he is my boss."

Zhong Qi'an knew who Baoyun he was talking about, and Yun Shuzhi had told them in a letter.

"He Baoyun, a three-year-old baby, is only studying when he enters the school? Obviously, the senior brother sees that you are too busy to come and take care of the baby for you." Zhong Qi'an despised him, and rolled his eyes, really stupid. "If you really want to thank him, you should buy expensive ones."

Li Wugeng was speechless, he didn't know how to explain, and he didn't bother to explain to this kid.Remembering that he hadn't been to the store for two days, and wondering if Da Chen was busy enough to come here alone, he led Zhong Qi'an to the ferry to have a look before going back.

The business in the store is still passable. Da Chen is tired, but he can handle it.When he saw people coming, he took out the account of the two days for Li Wugeng to have a look.

In fact, Da Chen doesn’t know how to settle accounts, but Li Wugeng taught him a clever trick. Take out two pieces of paper, and if you sell a bowl of wontons, put a horizontal line on the one that remembers the wontons; horizontal.After two days, both sheets of paper were completely scratched.

In this way, Li Wugeng was relieved, and he took Zhong Qi'an back with him after explaining some things to pay attention to.

When Yun Shuzhi came back from school, Zhong Qi'an rushed over to show his friendship, and stalked him relentlessly. "Brother, I know I was wrong, so don't ignore me."

Yun Shuzhi pulled him away: "This trick worked fine when you were a child, but it doesn't work now."

Zhong Qi'an pursed his lips and looked at him helplessly: "I'm very good today, if you don't believe me, you can ask Li Wugeng."

Yun Shuzhi frowned, and corrected him: "You live here, you are a guest, why are you so ignorant of etiquette? He is ten years older than you, so it's not proper to call him by his name!"

"Yes yes yes, let's call him brother!" Zhong Qi'an winked and said with deep meaning, "You are my senior brother, I call him brother, kiss him better."

After being teased by a child, he looked a little uneasy.Yun Shu was at a loss for words, so it was difficult to say anything.

"Li Wugeng..." Zhong Qi'an changed his words as soon as the words came out, "Brother Li went to town this morning to make clothes for you, and said it was a birthday gift for you."

He said this was to please Yun Shuzhi, but Yun Shu slapped him on the back of the head: "You talk a lot!"

Zhong Qi'an was at a loss, how could he be wrong again?

The sun was shining today, and Li Wugeng was not idle after he came back. He took out the fungus and dried them in the sun.Standing behind him, Yun Shuzhi was secretly delighted, and after a long while of smirking, he restrained his expression and walked over in a serious manner.

"Does the wound still hurt?"

Li Wugeng looked back at him, wondering, "Why did you come back so early?"

"Wheat will be harvested soon, and we will have half a month of field leave." Yun Shuzhi said, "The fungus is dried, why take it out to dry again?"

"It's damp in the room, if you don't take it out to dry, it will get moldy." Li Wugeng said, inadvertently caught a glimpse of him looking directly at him, and couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable, "What are you looking at me for?"

"No!" Yun Shuzhi quickly denied, but suddenly remembered something, took Li Wugeng's hand, and carefully circled his wrist.

The hands of people who have been working all year round are so rough that they are calloused and lacerated. Naturally, they cannot be compared with Yun Shuzhi's white and well-defined hands. Li Wugeng subconsciously wants to withdraw his hand, but he is holding it tightly.

Letting go of his wrist, Yun Shuzhi lightly pressed the calluses on his palm.Li Wugeng couldn't bear it anymore, so he slapped him away hard.

He was ashamed and annoyed, because Zhong Qi'an couldn't say anything later, so he just gave Yun Shu a hard look.

Yun Shuzhi smiled at him shamelessly, and when he saw Li Wugeng's face darkened, he immediately restrained himself, and said indiscriminately, "I think your palms are a bit dirty, please wipe them off for you."

Li Wugeng was very angry.

Five days later, the wound had scabbed over.Li Wugeng stayed at home for so long, and finally he was able to go to the store to help. Yun Shuzhi was fine, so he went with him. Of course, Zhong Qi'an had to go too.

The case of the floating corpse has been silenced for the time being, but the foreign caravan remains in the town.

On the first day back to the store, Xu Jiurong came uninvited.
