Vicious cannon fodder loves farming

Yao Yan didn't interfere too much with Ma Yu's carving business, and he put on new snacks. It's such a hot day, and simple Liangpi, jelly noodles, and jelly cakes have also begun to be launched. Liangpi and jelly noodles are mainly spicy, and cold cakes are mainly Salty and main sweet.

The early summer was already a little hot, and the children fell in love with it as soon as they tasted it. On the first day, Yao Yan gave out a total of [-] servings of the three snacks, all of which were for the children. From the second day onwards, a small bowl for three Wen, and those with more sugar Five cents a bowl.

Xiao Shanzi breathed out happily after eating two bowls of crispy and spicy cheeks. Ma Yu poured him a glass of mint ice. Xiao Shanzi smiled at him and drank it in small sips. He just took a deep breath, and the children who were waiting for snacks stared at him.

It's not Xiaoshanzi's fault, it's just eating spicy food, and drinking this kind of cool mint water, it's inevitable that there will be a sense of stimulation.

After drinking half a cup, Xiao Shanzi stopped, and smiled at Ma Yu, "When I first started drinking this stuff, I just drank it in one gulp as usual, oh, what a taste."

Xiao Shanzi waved his hands again and again, with the sour feeling on his face as he recalled, "Later, Brother Yao said it in a small mouthful. I tried a sip, and it was really comfortable. It's just that the mint leaves are only available in pharmacies now."

"I just bought it at the pharmacy," Ma Yu nodded. They are all so busy now that they don't have time to go to the countryside to find mint leaves. It's better to go to the pharmacy to buy the prepared mint leaves, which are clean and convenient.

"What about old doctor Huang?"

Xiao Shanzi asked softly.

Yao Yan came over after finishing his work, "Yes, by the way, why are you so free today?"

Xiao Shanzi blushed, took another two sips from the bamboo cup, and then said, "I, I'm here to borrow money."

After speaking, his neck was red, and he didn't dare to look up at them.

Ma Yu and Yao Yan looked at each other, and Yao Yan said softly, "A man should look up and be a man, don't just lower his head, look up at me and say, what are you borrowing money for?"

Xiao Shanzi raised his head, looked at Ma Yu and Yao Yan, and said, "Didn't my master get sick a few days ago? Recently, I always feel that I can't do it anymore. I often talk about my third sister and I. I know he is worried. Will the third sister have a peaceful life after following me, I am just an apprentice now, I have nothing, it is impossible for the master not to worry."

"It just so happens that the old lady next to the master's house is going to be taken by her son to the county town to take care of the elderly. The house in this town wants to sell. The house is not big, just two rooms and one side room, but it is a home anyway. I want to put that I bought the house, but I didn’t have any money with me, so I went to the house with the cheek.”

As he said that, the bitterness on Xiao Shanzi's face became even heavier, "I know I'm not capable now, and it's very difficult to borrow money, but I don't want to miss that house, and I don't even want to miss... Third Sister."

It was by no means a coincidence that the old lady caught the wind when the master mentioned that.

"How much silver does it cost to buy that yard?"

"50 taels," Xiao Shanzi wiped his eyes, "Because the yard is very old and it is not facing the street, so the asking price is a little lower."

Ma Yu nodded at Yao Yan, and Yao Yan got up and went to the backyard. Xiao Shanzi burst into tears when he saw this. When Yao Yan handed over 50 taels of silver to Xiao Shanzi, Xiao Shanzi knelt down in front of them.

"You are my brother Xiaoshanzi for the rest of my life, and I will definitely pay back my principal with interest!"

"You are my little brother brought out by Yao Sanlang, so we naturally believe you," Yao Yan helped him up, and Ma Yu stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Shanzi's shoulder, "There is no rush to pay back the money, what is better than working hard on the ground?" All important."

"I understand, thank you Brother Ma and Brother Yao."

Xiao Shanzi walked back to the carpenter's shop with the silver. The old carpenter was sitting and smoking a pipe. His youngest daughter, Sanmei, had just brought water to the old carpenter. Seeing that Xiao Shanzi came back with two cold cakes, she approached with a smile. .

Unexpectedly, Xiao Shanzi turned around and closed the shop door. The old carpenter squinted his eyes and sat up straight. The third sister was startled, and she didn't care about eating, so she hurried over and asked, "What's the matter?"

She looked nervous and looked at Xiao Shanzi worriedly.

Xiao Shanzi's eyes were a little red and swollen, and it looked like he had cried, "It's okay."

He put the cold cake on the table beside him, then knelt down in front of the old carpenter, and took out the 50 taels of silver from his pocket, which was wrapped in a piece of cloth, "Master, please betroth my third sister to me. Xiao Shanzi will treat her well and never leave her."

The third sister was taken aback for a moment, then her eyes turned red, and she also knelt beside Xiao Shanzi, "Father, I have only recognized Xiao Shanzi in my life, and I don't recognize anything else!"

They have long been happy with each other.

The old carpenter ignored them, but put the bag of silver on the table, opened it, and beckoned to Sanmei and Xiaoshanzi, and the two looked at each other and moved closer.

"Look at this pile of silver, what do you think?"

Xiao Shanzi was stubborn and straight-hearted, "Brother Yao and Brother Ma are closer than my own brothers. I don't have any real brothers. From now on, they will be like my third sister's real brothers. I will pay back the money with interest." In fact, I will never forget this kindness for the rest of my life."

The old carpenter looked at the third sister again, "You are a girl, and your heart is always thinner than that of a boy. Tell me."

The third sister pursed her lips, looked at the silver and said softly, "Earlier, I heard that Brother Yao and the others are building a house in the countryside. Although the business is good now, building a house is not a small amount of money. The silver is 50 taels." , but except for the 20 taels of silver inside, the rest are mostly copper plates. It is conceivable that they saved it from their business, but Xiao Shanzi came to borrow silver, and they borrowed it without saying a word. Such a loving person , not often."

Xiao Shanzi looked at the silver, tears streaming down his face.

The old carpenter looked at his appearance, didn't say anything useless, but sighed, "Even if I die, you have these two brothers to take care of you, so I can rest assured of you two."

"father!"

"Master, don't say such things," Xiao Shanzi wiped his tears.

The old carpenter took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them to Xiao Shanzi, "Do you think I'm a hard-hearted person?"

Xiao Shanzi took it in doubt, opened it again, and looked at the old carpenter blankly, "What is this?"

The third sister was crying and laughing, knelt beside Xiao Shanzi, stretched out her hand and slapped him, "This is the house deed, it's the house deed of the fifth wife's house!"

It turned out that the old carpenter had bought the house a long time ago. After he mentioned the third sister to Xiao Shanzi several times, he also wanted to test whether Xiao Shanzi was sincere enough. He thought about Xiao Shanzi borrowing money from Yao Yan and the others. At most, they could borrow five taels, but they didn't want the other party to borrow 50 taels. This shows that Yao Yan and the others have enough trust in Xiao Shanzi's character.

Xiao Shanzi returned the silver to Yao Yan and the others, and Yao Yan learned about the old carpenter.

"Although the house is a bit old, it does not leak wind or rain. The date of my third sister and I is set on September [-]th. I am a carpenter and have learned so many things. Turn it over."

He went back to the mountains in the countryside to chop wood. Even if it was hard, it was for his own family. No matter how hard it was, it was full of sweetness.

Xiao Shanzi was full of joy, seeing Ma Yu and Yao Yan laughing, when Xiao Shanzi left, Yao Yan made a bowl of jelly and two bowls of cold cakes, and asked Xiao Shanzi to take them back, "Just as if I was happy when I heard about it, Give it to you to eat."

Xiao Shanzi couldn't refuse, so he could only accept it. He will never forget this love.

After buying the foundation, they began to pull materials to build the house. Because of the busy farming, Yao Yan and Ma Yu gave money to find someone to build the house.

There are quite a few people who come here. It costs only [-] yuan a day to do physical work in the town. It is easier to build a house than to carry heavy things. They eat, and if they are in the village, they are delivered by their family members, or they go home to eat by themselves. There is a break at noon, and except for the heavy rain, the work has never stopped.

"Fortunately, there is less rain this year," Yao Yan said happily as the house began to take shape.

Blacksmith Wen looked at the sky, "In another month, our house will be fully completed, and the crops will be harvested after a few more rains, and we will have a bumper harvest as soon as the early autumn passes."

"Yeah," Uncle Ma didn't hear a cough this year, Yao Yan specially asked old doctor Huang to check the pulse of the two old men, and they were all very good, which also made Yao Yan and Ma Yu feel relieved.

After returning from the village, Ma Yu went to the cloth shop and bought some ready-made clothes, all of which were short shirts, which were cool to wear.

"Does it look good?"

Yao Yan chose one and tried it on, and showed it to Ma Yu, Ma Yu nodded, "It looks good."

Yao Yan smiled, "You will say I look good in whatever I wear."

"That's not true," Ma Yu frowned.

Yao Yan asked curiously, "Then what doesn't look good on me?"

After thinking for a while, Ma Yu said softly, "It won't look good if you wear too much."

Yao Yan: ... Bah.

The magnolia tree in the backyard is lush and leafy, and when the sun is big, the two of them nest under the magnolia tree in the backyard to enjoy the coolness, "Daddy said that the chickens and ducks lived in that field very well, and the rabbit nest was also made Very good, it will come out only when it eats fresh grass every day."

Yao Yanwo listened in Ma Yu's arms.

"The two dogs have also been settled. They are wolf dogs. They are chubby and willing to eat. They will be brought home to be raised in more than ten days. We have to go back and have a look, otherwise they will not recognize people and bite us when we go back."

"Buy more big bones and take them home, and you won't eat them if you bite them," Yao Yan suggested.

"Wolfdogs protect the master, even if the big bones are not given to them, they will bark."

Yao Yan smiled, "So, there are wolves in the mountains behind us?"

"No, if there was wolf dog blood in the original blood, it would become wolf dog too." Ma Yu talked about the rumors he heard when he was a child, and Yao Yan also felt amazing.

"Speaking of wolfdogs," Yao Yan raised his head, "I want wolfdogs."

Ma Yu raised his chin, kissed him, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am your wolf dog."

After speaking, he packed people into the room, and when he was dazed, Yao Yan bit Ma Yu's shoulder.

...no, I'm talking about carved wolfdogs.
