The warm life of farming

After building the house for more than a month, it was finally completed. Mu Yuan settled the wages for the workers and gave an extra share to Old Man Liu. Without the help of an experienced man like Old Man Liu, it would take another half a month to complete the work. Finish.

The courtyard of An's family is the only one in Xujia Village. Even the village chief's house is not willing to use all green bricks and tiles. The form of An's courtyard is a bit like the quadrangle courtyard in Beijing, but it is not so particular.

Originally, Mu Yuan wanted to move in after the house was almost cleaned up, but he was stopped by Old Man An. According to Old Man An, according to the rules, the new home cannot be occupied immediately. You have to buy a bottle of wine and put it in the house. After three days, ask the old man to open the wine .On the day when the wine is opened, the folks in the village are invited to come, and everyone eats, eats and makes a lot of noise before the house can be officially lived in.

"This is too troublesome, what are you trying to do!" Mu Yuan didn't quite understand this tradition.

Xu Changlin said with a smile: "There is something to talk about here. If the smell of the wine is overflowing and provocative on the day when the wine is opened, then this house is a blessed place. On the other hand, if after opening the wine, there is a sour smell, and the wine turns into vinegar, then This is a catastrophe that cannot be lived in!"

"Wow, did anyone turn into vinegar?"

An Ran laughed, shook her head and said, "I've never heard of this before. In fact, if you want to get a good start, you'd better buy good wine. The better the wine, the stronger the aroma!"

When Mu Yuan heard it, he packed up his ticket and said, "That's not easy. I'll go to the city to buy a jar of good wine and come back. By then, we will be a treasured place of fortune!"

Go as soon as you said, Mu Yuan didn't delay, he was going to leave after lunch, and then stay in the city for two more days, just in time to see what he should buy and buy some back.

After Xiaoyu heard this, he insisted on clamoring to follow. Mu Yuan thought that the child had grown up so much that he hadn't been to the city yet, so he took it with him so that Xiaoyu could go to the city to see it too.

After eating, Mu Yuan put the car on and sat on it, then turned his head and looked helplessly at the two people next to him. Xu Changlin was pulling Xiao Yu and telling him worriedly, while Xiao Yu twisted his body to climb into the car, and didn't listen at all. Xu Changlin was nagging at the side.

Mu Yuan sighed, and said helplessly, "Stop nagging, he is with me, I can still make people lose me!"

Xu Changlin also sighed: "I'm even more worried if I go with you!"

Mu Yuan was upset, and urged: "It's alright, it's alright, we have to hurry, you hurry up and hug him."

Xu Changlin carried Xiao Yu into the car, patted him on the head and said, "It's awkward, sit still!"

"Yeah!" Xiao Yu nodded vigorously with a smile, full of anticipation for going to the city.

This can be said to be the first time that Xiao Yu has traveled far since he grew up.For Xiao Yu who has never been to the city, this meeting is already very exciting.

Mu Yuan drove the bullock cart out of the courtyard, then turned to ask Xu Changlin, "Do you have anything to bring? Is paper, ink, etc. enough?"

Xu Changlin thought for a while and said, "The rice paper is almost finished, so you can bring some back to me, and I don't need anything else!"

"Okay! Then I'll go! You go into the house!" After Mu Yuan finished speaking, he drove away with Xiao Yu in his car.

Xu Changlin was worried that Xiaoyu was going out for the first time, and he would go for two days, so he stood at the door until there was no one in sight, then turned and went back to the house.

An Ran was very relieved of Mu Yuan, and when he came out of the kitchen, he saw Xu Changlin's worried face, so he smiled and comforted him: "Brother Xu, don't worry, Mu Yuan will take good care of Xiao Yu!"

Hearing what An Ran said, Xu Changlin just smiled and went back to the house.

Because the bullock cart was simple, it actually only had a wooden plank, and there was no shelter on the side of the plank, so Mu Yuan didn't dare to run too fast, for fear that a bump would knock Xiao Yu off the cart.

Along the way, Xiao Yu pestered Mu Yuan and kept asking, why not yet?How long will it take to arrive?Are we there yet?Mu Yuanwen's irritable hair stood on end, and finally gave him a scallion pancake prepared by An Ran for him to eat, and it stopped for a while.

Just halfway through the walk, Xiao Yu's excitement passed, and she began to cry sleepy.Xiaoyu made Xu Changlin take a nap every day. Today, because he was going to the city, he was excited and didn't feel sleepy on the road. Now that the excitement has passed, the sleepiness will come up.

Mu Yuan's face darkened, and he felt infinitely more cute than the Musheng Hulu Xiaoyu from before.After a long time of coaxing with good words and good words, it was ineffective, and finally Mu Yuan threatened with force, and Xiao Yu instantly became honest.

It was only after such a tossing all the way that I finally arrived at Yaocheng.

Who knew that as soon as he arrived in the city, Xiao Yu, who had been languid just now, seemed to be on a stimulant, bursting with energy.

With a dark face, Mu Yuan dragged Xiao Yu back from the clay figurine booth, pretending to be fierce and said: "You are running around, I will sell you!"

Xiao Yu lowered her head and whispered aggrievedly, "You said you can go and see it!"

Hearing this, Mu Yuan's veins were about to pop out.

As soon as he entered the city, Mu Yuan took Xiao Yu to find an inn, put the ox cart in the inn, and led the eager Xiao Yu to the street.

Because this trip was mainly to buy wine, Mu Yuan led Xiao Yu to the winery first, and finally chose a jar of high-quality bamboo leaf green.Mu Yuan looked at it, tasted it, smelled it, and finally paid the deposit with satisfaction, and came to pick up the goods when he was ready to go back.

Xiao Yu was bored waiting on the sidelines, and kept tugging at Mu Yuan's hand.

Sleeves, Mu Yuan ignored Xiao Yu, resisting his impatience and set a time to pick up the goods with the owner of the winery.

After leaving the winery, Xiao Yu was about to run into the street, but Mu Yuan grabbed her.

Mu Yuan stared at Xiao Yu fiercely, but his tone was soft to discuss: "It's getting dark, let's buy rice paper for Brother Xu first, and then I'll take you to the night market, okay?"

Xiao Yu heard that she was going to buy something for Xu Changlin, so she said straightforwardly, "I want to see the kneader just now!"

Mu Yuan would agree to any request as long as he could make Xiao Yu obedient, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Take a look, I'll let you see it later!"

Just like that, Mu Yuan took Xiao Yu to the Four Treasures of the Study to buy rice paper.

When I arrived at the store, I was talking to the boss, who knew that when I turned my head, the person disappeared. When Mu Yuan ran out quickly, he saw Xiaoyu lying on the clay figurine booth not far away, concentrating on watching.

Mu Yuan gritted his teeth with hatred, thinking that Xiao Yu had been taught badly by that guy Xu Changlin, and now not only did he not listen to his own words, but he also learned how to quibble! !

Mu Yuan said fiercely: "Didn't we agree that we will take you to see it after buying?"

Xiao Yu pouted, her face full of grievances and unhappiness.

Boss Tang of the Four Treasures of the Study looked at this scene and said with a smile: "You child, you must be naughty!"

Mu Yuan sighed helplessly, softened his attitude and said to Xiao Yu, "I'll buy you some delicious food later, just be obedient and don't run around, okay?"

Xiao Yu pouted her mouth and thought for a while, and felt that she would not be at a disadvantage, so she nodded and said, "Then I won't run away, and you will buy me something to eat later!"

"Buy, buy, buy! Just stand next to me and don't move!" Mu Yuan was worried and confessed again, and he stopped after seeing Xiao Yu nodding.

Mu Yuan turned his head and asked Boss Tang, "Boss, what did you say just now?"

Boss Tang smiled and said, "Xuan paper can be divided into raw rice paper, cooked rice paper, and semi-cooked paper rice paper. I don't know which kind you want to buy?"

Mu Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment, which one should he buy?This guy Xu Changlin didn't tell me, how do I know.

Mu Yuan was worried for a long time, and asked doubtfully, "Which one can write and draw?"

"Hehe, everything is fine!" Boss Tang smiled all over his face. "It's just that the material is different, so the effect is also different."

Uh..., this completely stumped Mu Yuan.

Boss Tang saw Mu Yuan's perplexed expression, so he said, "Well, if you're writing and painting in normal life, you can just buy Shengxuan!"

Mu Yuan nodded quickly and said

Said: "I just bought it for a scholar. He likes to practice calligraphy and draw pictures when he has nothing to do!"

Boss Tang smiled and said, "Then it's right to buy Shengxuan! How much do you need? How big is the paper?"

"How big?"

"Oh, there are three feet, four feet, five feet, six feet, eight feet, two feet, ten feet..."

"Stop, stop! Don't talk about it, just get me the biggest one, and let him cut as much as he wants when he goes back!"

"Then one foot eight, four feet wide! I don't know how much you want?"

"Well, thirty... let's go!"

"Okay, just wait a moment!" Boss Tang went to get Mu Yuan's goods with a suppressed smile on his face.

Thirty sheets of rice paper were rolled into a long tube. Boss Tang carefully wrapped them in oiled paper and handed them to Mu Yuan. Mu Yuan paid the money and hurriedly led Xiao Yu away.

After leaving the store, Mu Yuan looked at the long tube in his hand, and cursed secretly: Unlucky Xu Changlin, let the young master be so ashamed!

Xu Changlin, who was practicing calligraphy in the room, suddenly sneezed, and the copybook just finished was defeated by the last stroke.Xu Changlin frowned, looked at the last bad word written on the table with regret, and sighed: "Unlucky!"

An Xiaoyu couldn't care less about it, and finally waited until Mu Yuan had bought all the things, and then started yelling for good food.

When Mu Yuan heard Xiao Yu's noise, he rubbed his temples with a headache. He had never seen this child so noisy when he was at home.

"Let's go back to the inn to put our things away and then come out to play, shall we?"

Xiao Yu snorted, pointed at Mu Yuan and said angrily, "No credibility! Lie to a child!"

Passers-by looked over curiously, and Mu Yuan hurriedly said humbly, "Little Yu, I won't lie to you this time. Look, we can't have fun with this thing, can we?"

Xiaoyu frowned angrily and looked at Mu Yuan, and said for a while, "Are you serious? If you lie again, you'll be a puppy!"

"Guaranteed, guaranteed!" After Mu Yuan finished speaking, he picked up Xiao Yu, held the rice paper tube with his other arm, and hurried back to the inn.

When we arrived at the inn, we put down our things, and then led Xiao Yu to the night market.

The night market in Yaocheng is quite lively at night, there are many small wonton stalls, pancake stalls, etc. Mu Yuan and Xiao Yu hadn't had dinner yet, so they walked and ate all the way, which made Xiao Yu very happy.

Mu Yuan hugged a bunch of gadgets and snacks, and followed Xiao Yu who was running wildly in front, for fear of losing him in the middle of the night.

Xiao Yu didn't know what strange thing he saw again, so he greeted Mu Yuan in front: "Here, here, look at this!"

br>Mu Yuan came up out of breath, looked at Xiao Yu and said, "You've been shopping for so long, aren't you tired?"

Xiao Yu shook her head excitedly, holding the thing in her hand and passing it in front of Mu Yuan. "Look at this! What is it?"

Xiao Yu's hand was dangling back and forth, Mu Yuan didn't see it clearly after shaking for a long time, the peddler next to him laughed and said, "This is a bamboo dragonfly, it's very interesting!"

Xiao Yu turned to look at the peddler, her eyes were black and bright, and she asked curiously, "Is it fun? How do you play?"

The peddler smiled at Xiaoyu and said, "When you rub your hands together like this, it will fly away!" He then demonstrated a movement.

Xiaoyu wanted to play, but the peddler quickly stopped him and said, "Hey, I have nowhere to look for it once you let it fly!" After speaking, he took the bamboo dragonfly back.

Xiao Yu turned to look at Mu Yuan, blinked and said, "I want it!"

Mu Yuan sighed silently, looked at the peddler and asked, "How much is it?"

"Only five cents!" The peddler had seen the gadgets and snacks in Mu Yuan's arms for a long time, and knew that this was a spoiled child, so he tried his best to tease the child.

Mu Yuan picked up the bamboo dragonfly and looked at it. The hand-carved pure wood looks quite exquisite.

Looking down at Xiao Yu who was staring at him eagerly, he said, "I bought this for you, we will go back today, do you agree?"

Xiao Yu nodded quickly, grinning, her smiling eyes narrowed, looking extremely cute.

Mu Yuan raised his head, counted five copper coins to the peddler, and handed the bamboo dragonfly to Xiao Yu.

Xiaoyu was elated when she got the bamboo dragonfly, and immediately started playing with it. But because she was small and had little strength, and she had never played before, she didn't fly after getting the bamboo dragonfly twice.

The peddler at the side laughed and showed Xiaoyu a bamboo dragonfly. The peddler rubbed his hands together, and the bamboo dragonfly flew up. Xiaoyu jumped up and down happily after seeing it.

Mu Yuan smiled and said: "Let's go after you've learned it, and go back to sleep quickly, so that you won't be able to wake up tomorrow!"

"Yeah!" Xiaoyu followed Mu Yuan contentedly with a bamboo dragonfly, and waved goodbye to the peddler when he left, and the peddler also waved to Xiaoyu cheerfully.

Xiaoyu played with the bamboo dragonfly all the way, and gradually mastered the skills, and the bamboo dragonfly could fly low.

This time the bamboo dragonfly flew far away, Xiao Yu hurried over to pick it up, Mu Yuan followed slowly behind, suddenly Xiao Yu pointed to the distance and turned back and asked: "Where is that place over there? It's so bright!"

Mu Yuan raised his head in doubt, and saw that Xiao Yu was referring to a brothel, and the brothel was naturally brightly lit at night.

Before Mu Yuan could figure out how to explain to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu ran over, and Mu Yuan quickly followed after seeing it.

"Don't go there! Come back!" Grandma's brat, the young master hasn't been there yet, you want to go to a brothel?

Xiao Yu paused, then turned to look at Mu Yuan in doubt.

Mu Yuan ran up, pulled Xiao Yu away from the door, and taught: "Why are you running around again? If you do this again, I won't buy anything for you!"

Xiao Yu ignored Mu Yuan, looked up at the plaque, frowned for a long time and said, "Rain!"

"Huh?" Mu Yuan was stunned, then looked up at the plaque and asked Xiao Yu: "You can read? Is there rain on it?"

Xiao Yu nodded with a grin, and said, "Brother Xu taught it!" Pointing at the plaque, he said, "Yu!"

Just as he was talking, a woman in a bright red robe came out from the inside. When the woman saw Mu Yuan and Xiao Yu standing at the door, she was stunned for a moment, and then Lang smiled and said, "Why did you bring the child here?"

Mu Yuan blushed in embarrassment, and quickly argued: "No, no, just passing by!"

"Hey~~, why are you passing by? Why don't you come into my Yanyu Pavilion and sit down for a while!" As he said, he pulled towards Mu Yuan.

"No! No!" Mu Yuan was taken aback, and hurriedly broke free. The woman's face was covered with heavy makeup, and her lips were painted bright red. It was unbearable to see.

This side was about to drag Xiaoyu away, but who would have thought that Xiaoyu was throwing bamboo dragonflies again, and one of them flew into the open window on the second floor with all his strength.

Mu Yuan was stunned, and the woman beside him was also stunned for a moment, then laughed and said to Mu Yuan, "It seems that you can't do it if you don't go in!"

Just as he was talking, he poked his head out from the window on the second floor, and shouted down: "Who is so short-sighted, dare to throw things at Xiaoye?"

When Mu Yuan heard the reputation, he saw a young man who was about his own age, very handsome, and he was glaring at him with arrogance.
