The warm life of farming

Mu Yuan and An Ran played happily all day, even Hongdou had a great time.

Ever since Hongdou was brought out of the space by Mu Yuan, there were very few opportunities to run around like this.Except for going out to deliver goods every day, a horse like Hongdou just sits idle at home.

Because this was the first real date between Mu Yuan and An Ran, Mu Yuan took great pains to leave An Ran with a good memory.Although there are many limitations in this era, the two of them still had a good time when Mu Yuan had a plan.

It was almost evening when the two arrived home.It was only when I got home that I remembered that the two of them came back empty-handed.Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, Mu Yuan just found a reason and let him go.

The days were passed in an unhurried manner, and the only major event should be that Xu Tu's marriage proposal to Xu Jiao was rejected.This incident caused a stir in the village, and everyone knew about it, and many people were laughing at Xu Tu's wishful thinking.

Mu Yuan didn't know about it until the third day after it happened.This can't be blamed on Mu Yuan. No one in An's family likes to gossip, so they can't know what's going on right away.

When Mu Yuan arrived at Xu's house, he saw Xu Tu's decadent expression, and Xu's mother's expression was even more ugly.

"Uh... what's going on?"

Mu Yuan had been staring at Xu Tu in the living room for almost half an hour.Because of Xu Tu's face problems related to this relationship, Mu Yuan has been unable to ask questions.But seeing that going on like this was not an option, Mu Yuan could only ask cheekily.

Xu's mother had already gone back to the house to rest angrily.There was only Xu Tu in the living room, so Xu Tu didn't have too many scruples, and said with a bitter face: "That's it, no!"

"Did you tell me the reason?" Mu Yuan asked cautiously.

Xu Tu's face changed again and again, and suddenly he said angrily: "Forget it, just pretend that I was deceived by lard before, and I won't mention it in the future."

Therefore, Xu Tu's face was really ugly, and Mu Yuan didn't dare to ask.But I probably know that Xu Sheng's family may not have anything good to say.

Mu Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Did Xu Jiao say anything?"

Xu Tu smiled wryly, and sighed to Mu Yuan: "If you are a brother, don't ask this! Old brother, I have lost all face this time. I was really hysterical back then, and I went to propose marriage..."

The marriage proposal was brought by Xu Tu himself.Ordinarily, a matchmaker should be found first, but Xu Tu did this behind Xu's mother's back, so he didn't go to a matchmaker, and just weighed things by himself.

As for what happened in the middle, no one knows except the parties involved.Xu Tu refused to say because he felt ashamed or for some reason.Mu Yuan could only guess for himself, either Xu Sheng said something bad, or Xu Jiao said something hurtful.

But no matter which one it was, Xu Tu was already deeply hurt.Mu Yuan felt that it would be better not to pick up his scars, so he said a few words of comfort before leaving.

Mu Yuan was still thinking about Xu Tu while walking on the road.If you want to say this, you are also to blame for this matter. If you didn't sneak him to advance, it probably wouldn't have happened.

Just as he was thinking, a person walked towards him.Because Mu Yuan kept his head down, he didn't pay attention. When the man walked over, Mu Yuan realized that the figure looked familiar.So he quickly raised his head and looked back, and saw that he was indeed an acquaintance.

"Uncle Li?" Mu Yuan was surprised.

Uncle Li, who was on his way home, turned around when he heard the shout behind him, and saw that it was Mu Yuan.

"Why is it you? It's a coincidence. Just now you lowered your head all the way, but I didn't realize it was you!" Uncle Li was also surprised.

Mu Yuan laughed, "Fortunately, Uncle Li's figure is unusual, otherwise we would have missed each other!"

"Go!" Hearing Mu Yuan making fun of his figure, Uncle Li gave Mu Yuan a blank stare.

Mu Yuan didn't care too much, and asked with a smile, "Why is Uncle Li staying at home now? It doesn't seem like it's the day off yet, right?" He began to look at people.After looking at it, he noticed that Uncle Li brought back a lot of luggage in big and small bags.

Uncle Li patted his backpack and smiled, "Yuanyuan Restaurant is about to close, so I'm coming back now!"

"Close the door?" Mu Yuan was surprised.Wasn't it fine when I went to deliver the fish last month? How come it's only been so long, and the store is about to close? "What's the matter, Uncle Li?"

Uncle Li sighed, "It's going to be a long story, go to my house first, and I'll tell you slowly."

Mu Yuan nodded and stepped forward to help him with his luggage.Yuan Yuan Restaurant was the first place where Mu Yuan worked, and it was also at this place that he met Zhao Yan and Uncle Li, so Mu Yuan had some affection for Yuan Yuan Restaurant.Otherwise, every time you do business, you won’t be the first to go to it.

When we arrived at Uncle Li's house, we put our luggage away.Uncle Li sat on the stool and let out a long breath.Obviously, carrying luggage all the way made Uncle Li a little overwhelmed.

"Shopkeeper Xie has already sold the entire restaurant, and has been looking for a seller for the past few days." Uncle Li said after taking a sip of water.

Mu Yuan was puzzled, "Didn't Zhang Qing inherit this restaurant? Why are you selling it?"

"Hmph!" Uncle Li couldn't hide his anger, "Zhang Qing? Zhang Qing is a good guy. It's because of him that the restaurant can't continue! You can't imagine that Zhang Qing is colluding with outsiders to deal with his own restaurant."

"What can he get by doing this?" Mu Yuan was dumbfounded.

Originally, the source restaurant was going to be left to him in the future. Not only did he not work hard to manage it, why did he want to make troubles to bring it down?This is really puzzling.

"What did you get? Naturally, there are a lot of benefits. I'm afraid you have collected a lot of money. Do you know what he told Shopkeeper Xie?"

Seeing Mu Yuan shaking his head, Uncle Li went on to say: "That Zhang Qing said that shopkeeper Xie is only in his 40s this year. If he is old, when will it be? Why not take advantage of the opportunity now and get the money to find another It doesn't matter. Tell me, is such a heartless person still a human being?"

Mu Yuan was dumbfounded, Zhang Qing was really insidious.

Uncle Li was still aggrieved for shopkeeper Xie, "This is really a big problem! Shopkeeper Xie suffered a serious illness from that petty man, and after he recovered, he decided to sell the source restaurant and not continue to operate it."

"Why did you sell it? Wouldn't it be enough to fire Zhang Qing?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Li sighed: "You don't know, the business of this restaurant is getting worse and worse. Shopkeeper Xie was already very annoyed, but something like this happened again. So he decided to sell it directly, anyway, it is money I have also made a lot of money, and I plan to go back to my hometown to buy a few acres of land, plant the land or collect rent."

It seems that there are indeed a lot of problems in the restaurant, otherwise Shopkeeper Xie would not just sell the things he has worked hard for half his life.

"Then what do you plan to do in the future, Uncle Li?"

"I don't know yet, let's talk about it!" Uncle Li smiled, "You know me too, I'm just a cook, and I know how to cook. If you're afraid in the future, you have to find a local party cook!"

Speaking of the cook, Mu Yuan thought of someone, "Uncle Li doesn't know yet, right? Brother Zhao is at my house now, so he's helping my house!"

"Zhao Er?" Upon hearing Zhao Yan, Uncle Li became excited, "I have been looking for him in the city for a long time but I haven't found him, so I came to your place. Is he okay? How can you two get together?" to a place?"

"It's even more troublesome to talk about it." Mu Yuan scratched his head, "That's right, Brother Zhao's son is gone, so there's nothing else to do."

"The smell is gone?" Uncle Li stood up in surprise, "How could it be gone? Isn't the disease already under control, why is it still like this!"

"I don't know exactly what the situation is, and the second brother Zhao didn't tell me too clearly. Anyway, the illness he mentioned didn't get treatment in time... You can ask him about this matter when you see him later."

Uncle Li sat down slowly, with a very sad expression on his face, "Wei'er is still so young, such a well-behaved child, just say that he is gone and he will be gone."

Uncle Li has been with Zhao Yan for several years, so he has also met Zhao Wei.I feel distressed and love this child with a twists and turns of fate.Now when I suddenly heard that the person was gone, I felt sad in my heart.

Mu Yuan listened to Uncle Li rambling about Zhao Wei for a long time, and didn't go back until it was almost time for dinner.

Mu Yuan rejected Uncle Li's offer to stay with him for dinner, got up and said goodbye and went home.

While waiting for dinner, Mu Yuan told Zhao Yan about Uncle Li's return.Zhao Yan was also very excited after hearing this, saying that he went to see him after dinner.

Mu Yuan thought about it and said again and again: "I want to buy the source restaurant!"

These words were undoubtedly a bomb, which stunned everyone for a moment.

In the end, Xu Changlin reacted first, "Why do you want to buy a restaurant?"

"Actually, there is no particular reason," Mu Yuan said, "It's just that there is another way to make money! Although the income from fish ponds is quite good, in another year or two, it's not guaranteed that someone else will open it again. But the restaurant It’s not the same, but if we can do well, then we don’t have to worry about not earning money!”

An Ran was puzzled, "Then you are so sure that you can do this business well?"

Mu Yuan snorted, "I can't cook, but we have brains! To open a restaurant, a good chef and a good military adviser are enough! It happens that our family does not lack these two! Haha~"

Everyone was sweating profusely, Mu Yuan's words were too thick-skinned.

"But what about the funds?" Xu Changlin thought of the most practical question, "I'm afraid the restaurant won't be cheap, right?"

Speaking of this, Mu Yuan was also a little worried.There is no one in this source restaurant who is too afraid to take two or three hundred taels of silver, but I really don't have so much on hand.

"This is a problem, let me think about it!"
