Deep in the bamboo forest is my home

After tossing around with the chicken dealer for a while, when Yang Yan'er went to the tea stall she usually visited, Boss He was already waiting outside.

Yang Yan'er ordered four bowls of hot soup for her family, brought wontons, took out pancakes, and ate them with the hot soup.Xiaozhu and Xiaohu ate very happily, and the hot wonton soup was only available once when the family sold silver rice.

While eating, Xiaohu didn't forget to give He Xiaohua a key, and even touched Xiaohua's head, "Xiaohua, please be good, second brother will give you wonton soup."

He Xiaohua has a small mouth, who wants to cry, which one is left, staring for a long time, it is normal to be splashed, don't you believe it?He Xiaohu try it.

Yang Yan'er touched Boss He and asked, "Who did you see just now?"

Boss He faltered, "I just probably saw it."

"Who the hell?" Yang Yan'er became curious and insisted on asking.

"No one. I read it wrong." Boss He turned his back and ate the wonton soup.

Yang Yan'er moved closer to Boss He, her nose twitched, she smelled of sweat, she frowned, and finally said nothing.

After eating wonton soup, the family rested for a while, and stopped by to check whether all the things they wanted to buy were complete. It was not easy to go out to the county, and they had to buy everything for their own household before it was too late.

In the afternoon, when the sun was setting in the west, the He family went to the gate of the city.When they came to the meeting point, Xiaohu still carried Xiaohua in Li Gensheng's donkey cart.On the way back, the silver rice was sold, and there were a lot of empty seats in the car, so Momo and the other half got on the car.Everyone talked and laughed, discussing things in the city, which ones are expensive and which ones are cheap.

The road out of the city gate has just been repaired, and the road is wide enough for two cars to walk side by side.Li Gensheng's donkey cart and Mu Fu's ox cart were walking together, and the two happened to be talking.

"Mr. Li, you have seen what happened today. Jude Mizhuang is getting worse and worse." Although Mu Fu is an old man in the village, it does not mean that he is really old.The old man is a position. The old man in the village is elected by the villagers and appointed by the county officials.Mufu was elected as an old man because he had donated a lot of money to help the village pave the road to other villages in the past few years, and he was the first to propose that Jisunrise County use a bullock cart to help the villagers transport things for free, and won the support of the villagers.Mu Fu is only thirty-five years old this year, his ancestors are already wealthy households in Nanhe Village, and he knows how to manage his own business. The situation of this generation is better than before.

"Hey, you are still young. People don't fight with officials. You have to listen to the words passed down by your ancestors." Li Gensheng is in his forties this year. Four generations of his ancestors have lived in Nanhe Village. He watched two or three households become more than 40 households now. Li Gensheng is a living history of the changes in Nanhe Village.

"Hmph, but relying on my brother to marry the son of an imperial merchant." Mu Fu was still aggrieved, "There were four or five rice shops in the county in the early years, and everyone could compare prices, but now they are all gathered in Demi Village by him. After buying it, it doesn't force everyone to listen to his family. In the early years when grain was sold, there was still a lot of business, but this year it's changed. Hmph!"

"In the early years, the brother of the Mu family just gave birth to a boy, and his position was not stable. Now that the boy has grown up, the brother of the Mu family immediately gave birth to a younger brother. He has a son and a brother, so there is nothing to be afraid of. Alas. In terms of status and status, the younger brother of the Judemi Zhuang family cannot marry into the imperial business, but who makes the imperial business family unable to look forward to a big fat boy for many years. For the only only seedling, let the word out early, The elder brother who gave birth to the boy helped him to the right. Time is fate. Don’t talk too much, instead of complaining, you should think of other ways.” Li Gensheng knew everything about the county town and Nanhe Village like the back of his hand, and he spoke clearly.Mu Fu was also kept silent.

"According to your old meaning?"

"Go back to the village and discuss it with the village chief. The village chief is also an old man in the village. Let's make a charter and talk to everyone." Li Gensheng made a decision, and Mu Fu could only do so after thinking about it.

When the group returned to Nanhe Village, it was almost evening and they went home.

Yang Yan'er put her things away, went to the kitchen to boil water, drove Xiaozhu and Xiaohu to take a bath, and took advantage of the time to wash the brown rice, fill a nest of water, and cook gruel.

The family hurried to eat before the sun went down.As usual, Xiaozhu and Xiaohu were rushed back to their room to sleep.Xiao Hua was tidied up by Yang Yan'er and sent to the crib, before Yang Yan'er could hum a ditty, Xiao Hua had already closed her eyes and fell asleep, she was very tired from fighting with Yang Yan'er at the market today.

Boss He wanted to pull Yang Yan'er over to be cozy for a while, but Yang Yan'er was thinking about Boss He's sneaking away in the afternoon, so she didn't give him a good face, and said she was tired, so she fell asleep.

Boss He sighed, and lay on the bed with his eyes open, wondering what he was thinking.

Early the next morning, Boss He and He Xiaozhu put on tools and went out to plant Shaowei vegetables in the four seedling fields.Yang Yan'er placed the newly purchased chickens on the side of the kitchen wall, fenced with rattan, with hay under it, and filled the water and food dishes.

Yang Yan'er found the rags bought on the market day again, picked out the dirty ones or those with a little bit of cloth left, washed the rest, and dried them in the yard.

Three catties of white meat are pressed for oil, and two jars of oil are obtained, which can be saved by a family of five until the end of the year.The one-size-fits-all meat is fat or thin, and they are all salted. After air-drying, they are put in a jar.

After everything was settled, I dug through the old quilts, took advantage of the autumn sun to dry the big one, and sent the small one to Baisha Village together with the newly bought cotton.Nanhe Village is a small village with not many craftsmen, and the craftsmen who hustle cotton have to go to Baisha Village to find them.It took more than half an hour to go back and forth, and I agreed with the craftsman to get it back in fifteen days, and the wages were 150 copper.

After Yang Yan'er hurried home, she put away the dried cloth strips and started making dinner.Being so busy all day, Yang Yan'er almost forgot about Boss He sneaking away, but seeing Boss He and Xiao Zhu coming back at night, she immediately remembered that she turned sideways to ignore Boss He while eating.

He Xiaohua rolled her eyes, seeing Boss He's embarrassment, Yang Yan'er sulked.Xiaozhu and Xiaohu didn't understand these fancy things, they were biting the rare shredded pork, eating happily.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning, after Boss He and He Xiaozhu were sent away, Yang Yan'er began to search the room. He Xiaohua sat on the small bed and played with her fingers, guessing what Yang Yaner was looking for. He Xiaohu was driven out by Yang Yaner early to play.

Yang Yan'er searched for a long time, the place where things can be hidden in the house is only between the bed boards and in the cage, she searched all of them once but failed to find them. In fact, Yang Yan'er didn't know what to look for in her heart. Before she got married, she taught her how to be a man. If you can't handle money, if you have money, it will go bad. After getting married, Yang Yan'er kept a close eye on the family's money. Boss He got only a dozen or so copper coins.Boss He has always been honest, and all the money he gets is used to buy candy for Xiaozhu and Xiaohu.After a long time, Yang Yan'er naturally relaxed, never expecting that Boss He would actually play a trick on herself.

The more Yang Yan'er thought about it, the more angry she became, her heart felt stuffy, she rubbed her chest, but she couldn't untie it, instead it was tangled like a knotted rope.

"Is Momo Yang at home?" There was a knock on the door from the yard.

Yang Yan'er clutched her chest and walked slowly while leaning on the wall.Not long after, voices came from the yard, gradually approaching the room.The door curtain was raised, and Yang Yan'er walked in first.

"Yang Momo, what's the matter with you? You were fine the day before yesterday. You feel uncomfortable in your heart, did you see the doctor?" It was Shen Momo who came.

Yang Yan'er leaned crookedly against the head of the bed, "It's nothing, it's just that my chest is tight."

Shen Memo covered her mouth and smiled, "Yang Memo, you must be, you must have another one."

"Ah?" Yang Yan'er straightened her body when she heard this, and immediately sat up straight, "Impossible, impossible."

"There is nothing impossible. You and Boss He are in love, and everyone in Nanhe Village knows it. Xiaohua was born less than a year ago, and you are married again. It's a happy event."

Yang Yan'er blushed, "Shen, look at what you said. I, I, I was pissed off." After speaking, she held her chest and rubbed again.

"Are you angry? Boss He? He is honest. Let me tell you, and I will help you with the details." Shen Meme sat down beside Yang Yan'er and rubbed Yang Yan'er's chest.

Yang Yan'er thought about it, should she tell Shen everything about her discovery.

"Oh, what am I supposed to do, let me tell you." The heads of the two Memos were close together, Shen Meme whispered something, Yang Yaner blushed, nodded again, and added, "Then , then lend me some Shen Mei."

"Okay." Shen Momo covered her mouth and walked out quickly. After a while, she ran out again, wrapped her handkerchief, and stuffed two boxes of things to Yang Yan'er, "Do you know how to use it? If you don't know, come and ask me."

"En. I understand." Yang Yan'er lowered her head and clasped her hands tightly.

He Xiaohua poked her head aside, and couldn't see a gap.
