Another World Taoyuan [Farming]

Chapter 22

The autumn harvest time passed slowly, and after the crops in the fields were taken back home, the villagers had to help pay the rent to the court landlord.

Ye Xiaoman's family didn't rent any land, so they didn't need to pay rent to the landlord. Except for the part handed over to the court, there was still a lot left over, but not all the remaining food was kept for their own consumption. The color of fresh white rice is good, so you can sell it in the town or county for a good price.

When everyone was busy, Zhao Jingzhe was not idle. He had studied the structure of houses in the village before. Many houses in the village were still wooden houses, and only a few houses were made of adobe brick and stone houses.A few days ago, Zhao Jingzhe had already started to prepare for building a house, but these days he put it down instead.

Although he still has some money in his hands now, he wants to use the money in other places. No matter what world he is in, he can only make money if he has money. If he doesn't have the capital in his hand, he can't do anything.

He is not planning to start a family for the time being. The two rooms he has now are enough for him alone. If he wants to build a house, he will not have much money left in his hand. The money in his hand now is due to great luck. Well, good things like this don't happen all the time, no matter what, you have to make good use of the money in your hand.

Ever since Ye Xiaoman returned from Zhao Jingzhe's place that day, he sneaked to Zhao Jingzhe's place in different ways every day, and every time he would bring some food to Zhao Jingzhe.

"Brother Zhao, are you going to pick up fungi in the mountains? The fungi these days are not like those in June and July. Although they are small fungi, you don't need much luck, as long as you can run all over the mountain." Fungi in June and July, fungi The body is big and the price is high, but these bacteria are very few, and if you are unlucky, you will not be able to come across them even if you spend all day in the mountains.

The small fungus Ye Xiaoman mentioned is called dew fungus, which can be found from July to August to October every year, and most of them grow on the grass and the roots of trees. It is square, so it is convenient to pick it up.

"Xiao Man, are you going?"

"Well, dad is going to pay taxes and rent in the county today, and I'm going to collect mushrooms in the mountains." From now on, the food at home will become less and less, and there will be no food for dinner in winter.From now on, Ye Xiaoman would go back to the mountains to pick up mushrooms whenever he had nothing to do. Apart from what he picked up that day, his mother would make dried mushrooms and put them away, and eat them when there was no food at home.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

"Brother Zhao, then I'll go back first. You go to the foot of the mountain and wait for me first. I'll come back when I go back." Aunt usually doesn't go out, and today my father is going to the county again. Xiao Man thought that he would go to the mountains with Big Brother Zhao today, Father and the others probably wouldn't know about it.

After Ye Xiaoman said that, he left in a hurry. Hearing what Ye Xiaoman said, Zhao Jingzhe was quite helpless, and he didn't know when Father Ye and the others would forgive him and let Xiaoman have normal contact with him.

"I'm afraid we have to wait until Xiaoman gets married. Xiaoman gets married..." When it comes to Xiaoman's marriage, Zhao Jingzhe feels awkward again. Xiaoman is the little brother they talk about. Will Xiaoman really marry a man in the future? ?Thinking that Xiaoman would be submissive to a man in the future, and would have a big belly, Zhao Jingzhe couldn't accept it, what's going on!He can't let Xiaoman take care of a man for a lifetime like a woman.

Because that question has been pressing in his heart, after Zhao Jingzhe went to the mountains, he has been looking for an opportunity to talk to Xiaoman about his marriage.

"Brother Zhao, it's okay. My family has been saving money for me. When I save enough, Dad, they will arrange for my marriage. Don't worry." When he liked himself and would not marry him, Ye Xiaoman was really sad, but he didn't blame Zhao Jingzhe, after all, Zhao Jingzhe had already expressed that he didn't like his brother, but the relationship between the two made Ye Xiaoman feel sad. Xiaoman had some misunderstandings.

Later, Zhao Jingzhe made it clear in front of others that Ye Xiaoman was sad, but he didn't bother about it afterwards. At most, this fact was back to his original cognition, and he didn't lose anything.

"But...well! I listen to my father." Ye Xiaoman wanted to say that he actually didn't want to marry a wife, but when he thought of what Zhao Jingzhe said to him, he was afraid that Zhao Jingzhe would look down on him if he said that, so he said The words were swallowed back, and only said that he listened to his father.

"Xiao Man, getting married is a big deal. You can't just listen to your parents. You have to like the person you want to marry in the future, because you are going to spend your whole life together, can't you just know?"

"But, the person I like... I don't know." Ye Xiaoman didn't know how important the liking that Zhao Jingzhe was talking about was that the people in their village hardly made their own decisions about their marriages. Yes, some people who married into the village from other places never met their husband-in-law before they got married, but they lived well after getting married.

"There's nothing you don't know, you don't even know who you want to live with!"

"Brother Zhao, do you like anyone?"

"Yeah, I caught up with it, but..." I don't know if it was because when I was alone with Xiaoman, I was so unsuspecting. When Zhao Jingzhe found out that he had slipped the tongue, it was too late up.

He clearly said that he grew up in the mountains, his parents died young, and he grew up with an old grandfather, but... what did he just say!

"Xiaoman..."

"...Brother Zhao, don't you... In fact, Sister Wang is really pitiful. Sometimes she is greedy for petty gains because of family difficulties. If you like her and you get married, When the days are better, she will no longer be greedy for cheap and make the villagers dissatisfied."

"Xiaoman, you...ha! What are you talking about!" Zhao Jingzhe really didn't expect Xiaoman to think of this. He just thought that Xiaoman would say that he was lying to him, but he really didn't expect Xiao Man would interpret his words as such.

"Xiao Man, Brother Zhao, to tell you the truth, Brother Zhao really doesn't care about that Miss Wang, so don't just say that I'm with her in the future, isn't it hard for me and her to know?

Also, I don't plan to get married in a short time, so no matter who it is, Miss Wang and Miss Li have nothing to do with me. I won't provoke them, and I don't want any gossip about me in the village. "Xiaoman squatted on the edge of a bush to pick up fungi, Zhao Jingzhe thought about it and squatted down to help, but at the same time, he still said what was in his heart. As for what he said just now, let Xiaoman ask.

"Brother Zhao, well, I want to ask you a question, don't laugh at me."

"What? Tell me."

"What does it mean to catch up?" Xiaoman thought, this must be the end of Brother Zhao and his sweetheart, but he didn't know how to understand this.

Why?wrong!Since brother Zhao doesn't like Wang Chuntao, how could he have a sweetheart since he was in the mountains before?

"I have caught you, it means you are with the person you like, chasing... How to explain this... It probably means that you like someone, but he has no feelings for you for the time being, so you You have to work hard. For example, do something to impress her, make him change his mind about you and fall in love with you, and then accept you, that’s probably what he meant.” Hearing Xiaoman asked this question, Zhao Jingzhe was still feeling relieved. He took a deep breath, as long as he didn't ask him why there are still people in the mountains.

"Yeah." After Zhao Jingzhe finished speaking, Ye Xiaoman just gave a slight response and then remained silent, even with a bad face.

Zhao Jingzhe didn't know what happened to Ye Xiaoman suddenly, but after asking, he regretted it.

"Brother Zhao, are you lying to me, and my father, the village chief? You didn't grow up in the mountains at all, did you?"

"Little Man..."

"Actually, I didn't really believe what you said at the time, but I saw that everyone was very happy at that time, so I didn't say much. Later, I couldn't remember why I didn't believe what you said at that time. You just said that you had You have already caught up with the person you like, so it is even more impossible for you to live in the mountains." Because Brother Zhao said that there is only him and an old grandfather in the mountains.

Zhao Jingzhe didn't expect that Xiao Man, who he always thought was simple and innocent, would have such a delicate mind. He treated him like a child without defense, but he knew everything.
