The warm life of farming

Mu Yuan was lying on the kang and sleeping soundly. He was really exhausted all day yesterday, and now he will sleep so faintly that he will fall to the ground.An Ran stood aside and watched Mu Yuan shook his head and sighed, then rubbed his painful waist from the kick, feeling very helpless.Such a big kang, three adults can sleep comfortably, but no matter how I sleep on the side or change places, he can be kicked awake, really innocent.

An Ran put on and went out to fetch water to wash up. Just as the water was boiling, she saw Father An coming out of the house, so she used the water she had just prepared for her father.

After washing his face, Old Man An asked, "Mr. Mu hasn't gotten up yet?"

Father An saw that An Ran's face darkened when he finished asking, and then he said helplessly, "It must be because I was very tired. We talked again last night, and we slept late."

Father An nodded and said, "It's okay to sleep more, as long as you don't delay your journey."

An Ran hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing.

Father An thought for a while and said, "Well, let's cook first. Father went to the village to see who's going to the city today, and he happened to bring Mr. Mu with him."

An Ran responded and went to make breakfast, and Father An walked out slowly.

Here Mu Yuan has rolled from the east end of the kang to the west end again, and now he is leaning against the wall and turned over again, only to hear his head hit the wall with a thud.

"Hmm~~~~" Mu Yuan opened his eyes in pain, and looked at the dirt wall he hit in confusion, not knowing where he was yet.

When An Ran entered the room, she saw Mu Yuan touching the wall with a sleepy look, still muttering and not knowing what to say, it was really funny.

"You're awake, get up and take a shower."

Mu Yuan followed the voice, met An Ran with puzzled eyes, woke up instantly, and remembered where he was.

"Ah~~~" Mu Yuan rubbed his face with his hands and cried out in pain, "I thought it was a dream just now, but it turns out that this place is reality."

An Ran persuaded: "It's better for you to accept the facts as soon as possible, so that you can plan for the future."

"Well, I know that too." Mu Yuan was also helpless, "By the way, how do you take a shower? To be honest, I endured it all night, hehe."

An Ran smiled and said: "We all use a big wooden bucket to fetch water to wash in. If you want to take a bath, I'll boil water for you."

"Hey~, don't boil the water. I'm sweating from sleeping in this hot day. I want to take a cold bath to wake up."

An Ran nodded and went out, Mu Yuan hurriedly put on his clothes and followed.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, he saw An Ran was picking up a pole, so he quickly grabbed it and said, "I'll come, I'll come, I'm here

I'm an old man, and I have a bad conscience for you, a child, to wait on you all the time. "

An Ran didn't give way too much, just said: "Oh, then do you know where the well is?"

"Uh, if you point it out to me, I'll know. I haven't picked water before. Let me try."

Hearing this, An Ran took Mu Yuan out of the courtyard gate, pointed to the big tree in the middle of the village and said, "Did you see that big tree? The well is next to the tree."

Mu Yuan took a look and found that the target was quite big and easy to recognize, so he proudly said, "OK, I'll bring you back two big buckets of water later."

Mu Yuan used a pole once, and walked swayingly, two wooden barrels were almost thrown into the sky by him, An Ran shook his head, and did not go into the yard until he could no longer see anyone.

Look at Mu Yuan again.Mu Yuan walked all the way to observe Xujia Village. The sky is getting brighter and the sun is slowly rising. People in the village usually get up early when they need to go to work in the fields. There is smoke from every household. make breakfast.The layout of the village is chaotic, but there seems to be certain rules in the chaos. The straw-built roofs look golden in the thin morning sun, which sets off the charm of the whole village.Mu Yuan stood on a high slope, looking from a distance, he really felt like he was in the painting.I was fascinated by watching it, and suddenly remembered that I was going to fetch water, so I hurriedly set off to get down to business.

After going down the hill and walking all the way to the big tree, I realized that the tree is really big. The tree is so thick that at least 6 or 7 people hold hands and stretch their arms to hug it. The well is 4 meters away from the trunk. There are several villagers standing by the well, they should all come to fetch water.The few people around the well fetching water were chatting, when they suddenly saw Mu Yuan, a stranger, they couldn't help but stop talking at the same time.

Mu Yuan grinned, imitating the tone of the ancients and greeted them: "Good morning, everyone."

The people in the village were generally very enthusiastic, and so were these people. Seeing Mu Yuan greeted them kindly with a smile, he put down his guard and responded with a smile.One of them, a muscular and bearded man in his 30s, said in a rough voice, "This young man doesn't look like he's from our village."

Mu Yuan said: "Well, this is my first time here, and I'm temporarily staying at Father An's house on the hillside."

The big man suddenly realized: "Oh, it's you that Father An was talking about."

Mu Yuan was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.

"My name is Xu Tu. I'm a butcher and a butcher. I'm about to drive to the county seat today, and Father An has already agreed with me to take you for a ride.

"Xu Tu said with a rough voice and a smile.

When Mu Yuan heard that this person was found by Father An to help him, he quickly thanked him: "Thank you so much, I was still worrying about how to get to the county just now, you are willing to help me,

I can't thank you enough! "

Xu Tu waved his hand and said briskly, "You don't need to be so polite."

Everyone chatted for a while, and the water dispersed after fetching water. Xu Tu waited until the end to fetch water. Seeing Mu Yuan's feeble appearance as a scholar, he fetched water for Mu Yuan by the way.Mu Yuan thanked him again for a long time, then Xu Tu said again: "Let's set off at Chenshi, and I will be here waiting for you when the time comes."

Mu Yuan didn't know what time Chen Shi was, but he didn't dare to ask further, for fear of revealing his fault, he just nodded his head to show that he knew, and after Xu Tu set the time, he took the water and left.

When Mu Yuan went to carry water like Xu Tu, he realized that it was not as simple as he thought. There was no water in the bucket when he came here, but now the two buckets of water bend the pole. It swayed back and forth again, and before taking two steps, the water in the bucket had been spilled by a third.After walking three steps, Mu Yuan had to stand still, so he picked up the water in such a wobbly manner. When he arrived at An's house, there was only half of the water in the bucket. An Ran couldn't hold back when he saw it. , Laughing out loud, Mu Yuan became annoyed and poured the water he picked up into the big bucket, then picked up the pole and went out.After repeating this, Mu Yuan took 6 trips to fill the bucket. He was sweating profusely from exhaustion, and his shoulders were sore.

Mu Yuan rubbed his shoulders and felt that he was useless, not as good as a 14-year-old child.Seeing Mu Yuan's dejected expression, An Ran didn't dare to laugh any more, went into the room and looked for a piece of Father An's clothes and came out and said, "You'd better change into our clothes, it will be less troublesome when you go out."

Mu Yuan nodded, took the clothes and went in to take a shower.When they came out, Father An had already returned, even Xiao Yu got up and packed up, and everyone was waiting for him to eat.An Ran had already told Father An about the clothes, so when he saw Mu Yuan coming out wearing his own clothes, Father An laughed and said that he seemed to be a different person.Mu Yuan tugged at his clothes uncomfortably, always feeling that what he was wearing was a bit nondescript.

Breakfast was rice porridge and small pickles served with steamed corn bread. Probably out of concern for Mu Yuan, he also fried potato chips.Mu Yuan suddenly thought that there seemed to be a few sausages in his bag, so he hurried to get them.

"Last night when I was digging through the bag, I realized that there was still something to eat. Let's eat it and not keep it." Mu Yuan said cheerfully as he cut the sausage.Father An couldn't shirk it and let it go.Xiao Yu had already been hooked by the sausage, and even An Ran felt an indescribable aroma.

After breakfast, Father An told Mu Yuan that he had found someone to take him to the county seat. Mu Yuan said he knew, that he had met him, and made an appointment to meet at Dashu at Chenshi.

Mu Yuan went into the house to pack his things. In fact, there was nothing to pack. He only had a backpack and a suit of clothes.An Ran came in, hesitantly said:

"Do you have any plans to go to the county?"

"Not yet, let's take a step and see."

Mu Yuan said optimistically.

An Ran seemed a little hard to make a decision, but still said: "Otherwise..., tell Dad, you can stay at my house first."

Mu Yuan laughed happily: "An Ran, thank you so much, you and Father An are both good people, but I can't be shameless and drag you down, I don't believe it. I can't find a job."

Then he thought about it, put his hand into his neck, pulled out the emerald gourd that he had been carrying all along, and said, "I'll think about it after taking a shower just now, if it doesn't work, I'll pawn it first."

"Huh?" An Ran asked in surprise, "Is this jadeite?"

"Well, is this thing worth money to you?"

"How can it be worthless? We have very few jadeites here. Apart from the royal relatives and high-ranking officials, there are not many people who can bring them."

Mu Yuan said happily: "It seems that this thing is quite valuable. When I get to the county seat, I will find a pawnshop to pawn it. I won't starve to death anyway." An Ran is just worried, it is very unlikely that she will be fooled.This gourd was bought by Mu Yuan's mother when he was a child, and he has been carrying it since he was a child. It can also be said to be a relic given to Mu Yuan by his mother, so this gourd is of extraordinary significance to Mu Yuan.

An Ran reminded: "If you go to be a pawn, be careful not to be cheated. I don't know the price of something like emerald."

Mu Yuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, brother, I'm smart."

After preparing everything, Mu Yuan bid farewell to An's father and son, An Ran took Xiao Yu to the gate of the yard, and Father An sent Mu Yuan all the way to the big tree.When I arrived at the place, I saw that Xu Tu had arrived, the ox cart was parked aside, and he was sitting in the shade of a tree fanning cattail leafs and waiting for Mu Yuan. When he saw Father An and Mu Yuan coming over, he stood up, said hello to each other, and was ready to go. Hurry up.

Mu Yuan put his backpack on the bullock cart, turned his head and said sincerely to Father An: "Thank you very much, I will definitely come back to repay you in the future."

Old man An pretended to be angry: "What you said is like I'm helping you, old man, in order to repay you."

Mu Yuan quickly said: "I didn't mean that, but you have helped me so much, I really don't know how to repay you."

Father An smiled and said: "Okay, don't mention the words of repayment, I wish you a smooth sailing here, and return home as soon as possible."

Mu Yuan thanked him, got into the bullock cart, and staggered out of Xujia Village.

After walking for almost three hours, I arrived at the county seat. There were two guards standing on the left and right of the city gate, but there were so many people entering and leaving the city, and they didn't see them stepping forward to check.Sitting on the bullock cart, Mu Yuan looked up at the words on the plaque on the city gate, and was depressed to find that he didn't recognize them. After passing the city gate, it is considered official.

Into the county.

When Mu Yuan was looking around dazedly, he heard Xu Tu's loud voice asking, "Mr. Mu, are you looking for a caravan? I'll send it to you."

Because there were people all around the city, the ox cart was moving slowly. Hearing Xu Tu's words, Mu Yuan jumped down and said, "No need, I can do it by myself. Uncle Xu, go and do your work." Well, thank you for taking me for a ride."

Seeing Mu Yuan jumping out of the cart, Xu Tu quickly grabbed the bullock cart and said, "It's okay, you don't know where it is, I just took it there for you."

After Mu Yuan repeatedly confirmed that he didn't need it, and said that he wanted to go for a stroll in the county, Xu Tucai drove away in a bullock cart, and when he left, he specifically told Mu Yuan to be careful in everything.Seeing Xu Tu walk away slowly and could no longer be seen again, Mu Yuan let out a hard breath and thought: Now, I will have to rely on myself in the future.
