Farmer's Notes from Another World

Fang Zhiyuan exchanged pleasantries with shopkeeper Liu for a while, and finally pretended to be involuntary and said, "Treasurer Liu, Ah Zhuang is pregnant, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come here to see you during this period of time. I'm not breaking my promise to get fat. Special circumstances. I hope you can understand, when the children are born and older, I will bring them to show you."

Looking at shopkeeper Liu, a bright look flashed in his eyes immediately, as if the old man who was a little downcast just now was not him.Shopkeeper Liu immediately said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay! Ah Zhuang's pregnancy is important, and it's important. I just don't know how many months Ah Zhuang has been pregnant. Is this pregnancy stable?"

Talking about Shopkeeper Liu, he was a little worried. Fang Zhiyuan was considerate of him as an elder, and said, "It's only been two months, and the doctor said the baby is fine. We are the ones who are worried and let him rest at home. After all, he hasn't given birth yet. Moon, and it’s not easy to go out and meet strangers.”

Shopkeeper Liu nodded after hearing this, and immediately said: "It is best for a pregnant brother to eat high-quality bird's nest. I have a lot of bird's nest brought from the south. Wait, I'll bring you some back." Then go to the house.

Fang Zhiyuan stopped him, and quickly said: "No need, shopkeeper Liu, I came to the town to buy bird's nest today. You can keep yours for business, we will buy it ourselves. You don't need to spend money, I will do the bird's nest Husband’s is still affordable.”

Thinking about what he said was a little rushed, Fang Zhiyuan watched shopkeeper Liu enter the room awkwardly, and it was not standing still.Said: "I have no other intentions. I came today to tell you that Ah Zhuang and Nanny are living a good life. If I take your things away, I will look down on myself."

Shopkeeper Liu also knew that Fang Zhiyuan had a good opinion of him, and he had a strong self-esteem.He thought about it and said, "Boy of the Fang family, of course I know that you are quite valuable, but you also know that the quality of bird's nests in this town is not high. The bird's nests here are all high-quality products. At that time, I bought a batch , I met you later. Thinking that Ah Zhuang will have children in the future, I kept it. This thing can be kept for two or three years at most. I know you are angry with me, but you can’t waste it on Ah Zhuang Something good for Zhuang and the child."

Fang Zhiyuan also understood that if he had never been to the south, Fang Zhiyuan would really not be able to tell the good from the bad.But now he also understands that Shopkeeper Liu is right, but if he wants to take things from Shopkeeper Liu for nothing, he feels uncomfortable no matter what he thinks.Simply put, Fang Zhiyuan said: "Then, I'll pay you money to buy your bird's nest. Otherwise, it's hard for me to go back."

Shopkeeper Liu felt a little sad when he heard this, but he knew that Fang Zhiyuan had already given in. He nodded, went to the room and brought out a box, opened the box and slowly packed a box of bird's nest.Fang Zhiyuan calculated the money on his body, he thought, such an inferior bird's nest would cost five hundred yuan a tael, but the bird's nest here looks much better than that.

Moreover, this amount must be seven or eight catties, so 100 taels might be enough.Shopkeeper Liu agreed to Fang Zhiyuan's money, which was a reason for Fang Zhiyuan to accept, how could he ask for so much money.And he himself said first: "Fang's boy, although the quality of this bird's nest is good, but I was a regular customer at that time, and the cost of buying it was not high. If you give 50 taels, it's a lot, but I can't accept the rest. gone."

Fang Zhiyuan took out 100 taels, and said to Shopkeeper Liu, "Treasurer Liu, if I take your things for nothing, I will not be able to overcome that hurdle in my heart. It is 100 taels, so I will buy it for peace of mind. After all, it is not easy for you , the matter between you and the nanny, we others can sigh, but we can't use this to suppress you and take advantage of you. Then I will spit on myself!"

Shopkeeper Liu really wanted to say that this was not taking advantage of him, it was his wish as a grandfather, but when he thought of the foolish things he had done.He couldn't say what he said, and he couldn't say confidently that he did what his elders wanted because he was not qualified.

The two of them didn't speak. In the end, shopkeeper Liu broke the deadlock and said, "Boy of the Fang family, Ah Zhuang's mother must be very happy to know that Ah Zhuang has a child. He has always liked children, and he always regretted not being able to give birth to children." Have a few more children." There was a hint of a smile in Shopkeeper Liu's tone, probably because he thought of the sweet days with Liu Amo in the past.

Fang Zhiyuan also wanted to change the subject, and said: "Naturally, Mammy is happy. These days, she stares at Ah Zhuang drinking chicken soup and fish soup, and tries her best to make clothes for the child. No one can say that. I am full of energy every day. Look, even young people may not be able to do it better than him."

Shopkeeper Liu listened, and thought of Liu Ah's love to be under his family's mill when he was making clothes. After a few days of hard work, I can always make shoes and clothes for him, let him try.

Such a day, thinking about it now, is not like a dream. Fang Zhiyuan couldn't help but look at shopkeeper Liu with moist corners of his eyes.He didn't speak for a while, and finally he couldn't think of anything to say to shopkeeper Liu, so he got up and said goodbye.

I went to the town to buy various snacks for Liu Zhuang, and I brought needles and threads for Amo Liu, and I brought a beautiful kite for Xiaotuanzi and went back.Along the way, Fang Zhiyuan felt quite uncomfortable, and he could only sigh: If I knew today, why bother!The most desperate thing in this world is time and regret medicine.

When he got home, Fang Zhiyuan took the bird's nest back, he was afraid that Liu Zhuang would find out about the bird's nest in the future, which would cause trouble in his heart.While Liu Ah was changing Xiaotuanzi's pants in Xiaotuanzi's room, she carried the wooden box and went to their room.Liu Zhuang was peeling walnuts, ever since Fang Zhiyuan said that walnuts and hazelnuts should be eaten during pregnancy, children will be smarter, Liu Zhuang has never stopped.

Seeing Fang Zhiyuan come back with a wooden box, Liu Zhuang was a little curious, but usually Fang Zhiyuan often brought him fun gifts, he was not surprised.Fang Zhiyuan looked at Liu Zhuang, and was sure if Liu Ahma would come here after being pestered by Xiaotuanzi for a while.Said: "Ah Zhuang, this is the high-quality bird's nest from shopkeeper Liu. He wants to give it away for free, so I naturally refuse, but I think the money is probably just capital."

Liu Zhuang was silent when he heard this, and facing shopkeeper Liu, Liu Zhuang really didn't know how to face it.The good people who sympathized with at the beginning, and the loving elders who met halfway, later the truth came to light.This made Liu Zhuang's feelings towards shopkeeper Liu very complicated, and he also knew the agreement made between A Yuan and shopkeeper Liu.It's also very clear that they can't completely ignore him, but it's hard to get over it!

Fang Zhiyuan looked at it, and said simply: "If you don't like it, Ah Zhuang, we will send it back. I was also soft-hearted at the time, and after thinking about it, there are no good bird's nests in the town. But let's look for the eldest brother and mother, who can also get it." It's good. Don't keep things in your heart, now you can carry our baby in your belly."

Liu Zhuang sighed and said: "Let's put it away, our relationship with him doesn't mean it's gone. As long as the nanny is good, it doesn't matter to be tolerant of him. But, A Yuan, you must not Say you showed your mouth, otherwise, it would be bad for Mammy to become suspicious."

Fang Zhiyuan was just about to send the things to Liu Amo, but with sharp eyes, he saw that there seemed to be a small brocade box under the bird's nest.He hurriedly dug it out, opened it and saw that it was a gold longevity lock and a pair of jade bracelets with excellent water head.

Looking at the things, Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang looked at each other and knew that it was given to them by shopkeeper Liu.Fang Zhiyuan was a little puzzled, what did shopkeeper Liu say he wanted to do, and he was not afraid that they would turn against him if he gave something away?On the contrary, Liu Zhuang looked at the pair of jade bracelets with a slightly sad expression on his face.

Fang Zhiyuan looked at it, took the jade bracelet in the brocade box, looked at Liu Zhuang and asked, "Ah Zhuang, is there anything special about this jade bracelet?"

Liu Zhuang looked at Fang Zhiyuan and didn't hide it: "When Mammy got married, she had a pair of jade bracelets as a dowry. It was left by Mammy's own grandma. Mammy has always cherished it, but when she was recruited for the army, How can the family get together 15 taels of silver to go out. Mammy pawned this pair of jade bracelets, took five taels of silver, and got together 15 taels."

Liu Zhuang touched the jade bracelet, and said in a bitter voice: "At that time, Grandpa told Mammy that he must buy the best jade bracelet for Mammy to wear. Unfortunately, he never came back. Mammy never mentioned the bracelet thing. My father bought a pair of bracelets for Mammy at that time, except for making Mammy cry a lot, the bracelet was sold after my father died. For funerals. Mammy always thinks that the bracelet is an unknown thing to him, and she has never allowed me to buy it as a gift for him."

Fang Zhiyuan understood at this moment, this brocade box has become a hot potato.It was difficult for him to deal with it, so he had to say: "Ah Zhuang, what do you think we should do with this thing?"

Liu Zhuang thought about it, and said: "A Yuan, you go to the town tomorrow to send this jade bracelet back, and tell Shopkeeper Liu not to send anything in the future. As for the golden lock, we will accept it, and it won't embarrass him too much. "

Fang Zhiyuan agreed after thinking about it, just when he heard that Liu Ah was about to enter the house, the two hurriedly packed up the jade bracelet and put it in a brocade box and covered it up.Amo Liu came in and looked at the open box on the ground, she was delighted to see it was a bird's nest.Chen Mo ate this food when he was pregnant with Xiaotuanzi, and he knew it was too expensive, but looking at the powder-carved jade of Xiaotuanzi now, he would be willing to spend no matter how much money he spent.

So, Liu Amo, who just came in, immediately went out with the box in her arms, ready to cook a bowl of Bubu for Liu Zhuang now.Both Fang Zhiyuan and Liu Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief, they looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of embarrassment in each other's eyes.

Here, Fang Zeng met Brown Candy. Lin Shuang finally met Fang Zeng and had to settle the matter of renting the land.Otherwise, when Fang Zeng finished his work here and the Zhao family planted seedlings, he would be helpless.Therefore, when Lin Shuang saw Fang Zeng on the way, he immediately followed him.

Fang Zeng was really impatient with Lin Shuang, Lin Shuang pretended not to see Fang Zeng's ugly face.To get close to him, he complimented Fang Zeng without words, and hinted clearly that he hoped to rent Fang Zeng's land.Fang Zeng's land in Zhaojia Village is all for Lin Xin's brothers. Their brothers are kind and honest. Although Fang Zeng collects less rent than others, they don't have to bother Fang's family at all, and they will send food when the time comes. coming.

This kind of family rented it to others for no reason, not to mention Lin Xin's face, even if they were doing things, they couldn't do it.It's not easy for any family in the countryside, but you have to follow the rules. If Lin Shuang is okay as a man, it's not impossible for Fang Zeng to rent him a few acres of land.

But his character is here, and he rented it to him at this time, and there will be some troubles when collecting the rent in the future.This was Chen Mo's dowry, if Fang Zeng's relatives got involved and refused to pay the rent, Fang Zeng would not be able to lose face.Therefore, Fang Zeng just agreed to Lin Shuang's dry mouth and didn't answer his words.

Lin Shuang saw that this was not going to work, so he gave up his face and said: "Fang Zeng, you see that your family has a lot of fields in Zhaojia Village, and we are relatives. Can you rent a few acres of land for our family? You also know , I was destined to marry a useless man, and my husband's family is even more cruel. Next year, there will be no shadow of my fat Shuxiu. No, I'm the one who has the cheek to talk to you."

Fang Zeng and Lin Shuang also played together when they were young. Although Lin Shuang is very annoying, life is so miserable and pitiful.However, Fang Zeng was so pitiful that he didn't agree. He just said: "Most of the land in Zhaojia Village belongs to my husband, and besides, it was rented to your elder brother's family in the past. If the lease is suddenly changed, How can I explain to your elder brother, your elder brother can't explain to his brother-in-law."

Of course Lin Shuang knew, otherwise, he would have gone back and pestered his family to tell Fang Zeng.It was the natal family with his elder brother and mother in the middle that bothered him so much. He saw that Fang Zeng had a little affection for his father, and this time he tried it on the basis of his relationship.It's done, the family has a farm, it's worth complaining to his brother; if it doesn't work, according to Fang Zeng's prudence, he won't say it outside, and he doesn't have to offend his natal elder brother.

Fang Zeng looked at Lin Shuang, sighed, and said to him: "Lin Shuang, it's not that we don't help you. Your elder brother and younger brother help you a little, but you still have a little favor, can you remember a little bit? What kind of person is your husband? He only hides behind your back to take advantage of your natal family. If he came to tell me today, I see him as a bit responsible. If the land rent is one or two acres, I will help you You need to come forward for everything. If you offend someone, you will do it, and the good guy will do it. Think about it, marrying a man, isn’t it just for him to support the family? If ordinary people are like you, the husband’s family is ruthless, man If you are unreliable, you put all your thoughts on your son. Build a good relationship with your mother's family, they are your own father and brother, you treat them well, it is much better than treating your white-eyed wolf husband. "

Lin Shuang was about to shed tears when he heard that, he had a bad temper, but when he was in his mother's house, his eyelids were not so shallow, and the house provided delicious food and drink for him.Except that he is more jealous and has a bad mouth, he is not as aggressive as he is now.This was not forced by her husband's family. The husband couldn't stand up, so he had to support himself and his son by pulling on his mother's family.I also brought some to my husband's family, but now it's good, my husband's family turned their faces and refused to recognize anyone, and my husband didn't even have a fart.He doesn't want to make up his mind, so what can he do?
