I rely on the words of the husband [farming]

The funeral at this time is very simple. After all, there is no ice coffin to keep the corpse, and it is still the hottest summer. It must be buried in the ground as soon as possible. Otherwise, it is nothing to do if it stinks at home.

The mourning hall was set up that day, and in the afternoon, the younger generation of the Geng family went to the relatives' homes to report the funeral. The next day, the old man Geng was put into a coffin and buried in his own field.

After watching a group of people in white linen mourning clothes pass by, the villagers commented in a low voice: "This coffin does not look cheap,? His family is really willing to part with it."

It's not a matter of reluctance. Although Qiao Yun didn't regret it, he still took a life with his own hands. Having never done anything wrong in his life, he still chose a good coffin and a lot of coffins within his ability. paper money.

The white matter passed quickly, and Zheng Chengan finally took his family to plant the sweet potatoes, potatoes and pepper seeds that had been distributed before.

Sweet potatoes and potatoes have been planted as much as possible, but the total amount is too small, and both of them can barely cover an acre of land.

Others are particularly curious about what they can plant at this time. Seeing them planting a full acre of land, the surface looks like a layer of green seedlings. The original withered and yellow weeds show a bit Vigorous vitality comes.

"Zheng Chengan, what is this kind of thing in your house?" Someone asked curiously.

Zheng Chengan wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Sweet potatoes and potatoes,? You ate them at my house before."

"Is it still possible to plant at this time?"

Zheng Chengan smiled: "Although it's a bit late, it can still grow."

"Can it really grow?" The man shook his head, a little unbelieving, "Nothing can grow in this field except grass, and you will feel distressed when it dies in a few days."

Zheng Chengan shook his head and smiled, but remained silent.The villagers said this only because they had never seen it before, and they believed it when everyone saw it with their own eyes when the autumn matured.

At the end of the day, they planted all the seedlings, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. The seedlings had sprouted a long time ago, but a lot of things happened at home in the past few days, and they didn't have time to plant the land.

Now that it is finally completed, everyone feels that the burden on their bodies is lessened.Zheng Cheng rested for a while, and took the initiative to enter the kitchen to boil some hot water for the family to take a bath.

The hearth was rebuilt. The hearth at home was the dirtiest earthen hearth. The smoke from the fire was lingering in the house all its life. , Now everything is replaced with new ones, and the natural stove has to be pushed back and rebuilt.

Scooped a pot full of water from the big vat, Zheng Chengan built a fire, put a few big sticks of firewood into the stove, clapped his hands and went out, let the rest burn by himself, just remember to come back later and take a look .

There is a new bathroom in the house, and there are several large wooden barrels in it for bathing, but it is a pity that there is no way to make tap water, so the water can only be self-service.

After the water was boiled, they let Zheng's father, Zheng Mu, take a bath first, and they went into the bathroom after they finished washing.The wooden barrel was made very large, and Zheng Chengan felt a little moved when washing it. If he didn't do something about such a large space, it would be wasted.

Zheng Chengan took the rough cloth towel with both hands and put it on Lian Xing's back, Lian Xing turned his head slightly and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zheng Chengan said solemnly: "Rub your back for you."

It is said to be a back rub, but the force is so light that it is simply sentimental!

The wolf's ambition is clearly revealed!

Lian Xing was afraid of tickles, so he shrank a little, a strange feeling appeared in his heart, and he felt that he was thinking too much, so he clenched his fists and endured the magical touch of her husband's hand on his back.

Until there was a wet feeling on his back, Lian Xing shuddered, and his whole body was embraced. Feeling the fiery-hot touch behind him, his whole body froze, and the roots of his ears were so red that he could almost bleed. Cheng An took advantage of the opportunity to kiss her, and Lian Xing said, "Don't...don't be here..."

Zheng Cheng'an put his earlobe in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Just once, okay? Father and mother are all asleep, no one will come."

The warm breath sprayed on the base of Lian Xing's ears, his whole body became numb, and he blushed and hummed softly, but did not raise any objection.

After half a day, the water in the bucket became cold, and they stopped their movements. Fortunately, there was still some warm water in the stove, just enough for them to wipe their bodies.

The weather was very hot, except for the draft wind blowing down from the mountains at night, which made people feel a little more comfortable, but it was still quite difficult during the day.The clothes on his body were too thick, so Zheng Chengan and Lian Xing went to the city the next day, planning to buy some other cloth for the family.

The cloth store is located in the central business district, and the storefront is very expensive. Zheng Chengan has been here twice before, but this time he found a difference when he entered. The steaming heat seemed to be isolated from this room. Zheng Chengan felt emotional. This long-lost feeling of air-conditioned room!

The clerk in the store greeted him: "What kind of material does the guest officer want?"

Zheng Chengan put his eyes on the corner of the wall, the waiter looked at it, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, do you think our place is much cooler than other houses?"

Zheng Chengan nodded and said, "Not bad."

"That's what our master specially ordered. A few pots of ice are provided every day, and other families don't have such benefits." The young man straightened his chest, and he looked very proud.

"So much? How is your ice made?" Zheng Chengan asked.

"Of course it was preserved in winter. To tell you the truth, guest officer, only our Chenji Bufang in the whole city has the courage to put ice in the shop. How difficult is it to dig ice in winter? It is impossible to be as comfortable as it is now if there is less manpower and financial resources to transport and store ice by people."

Zheng Chengan looked at the basin of ice and pondered for a long time, as if he had thought of something, then he raised his head and smiled at Lian Xing, and asked the buddy, "What kind of cooler material do you have in your shop?"

The buddy immediately introduced it enthusiastically.

At last they came out with several bolts of cloth.

After leaving the door, Zheng Chengan walked in one direction with purpose, Lian Xing had already seen that he was absent-minded when he was in the cloth shop, and asked, "Where are we going now?"

Zheng Chengan smiled and said mysteriously, "I'm not sure if I can find it, so I won't tell you."

Lian Xing followed obediently.Until the last two stopped at the entrance of the medical hall, Lian Xing became anxious: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zheng Chengan held his hand and comforted him: "I'm fine, I just came here to buy something."

"See a doctor or get medicine?" asked the boy who took the medicine.

Zheng Chengan stepped forward and asked, "Take the medicine, is there saltpeter here?"

The little guy scratched his head: "Yes, you just want saltpeter? Is there a prescription?"

Shaking his head, Zheng Chengan said, "Just saltpeter."

The boy frowned, and weighed several catties of saltpeter for him according to his request, but finally couldn't hold back, and reminded: "You should listen to the doctor's advice when taking medicine. It's better to have less trust in the prescription."

Zheng Chengan was stunned, and smiled: "Thank you for reminding me, don't worry, I have other uses, and I won't eat indiscriminately."

The things were too many and heavy, so they had to go back and put the things on Grandpa Zhang's ox cart, then Zheng Cheng'an paid the coin to Grandpa Zhang: "We have to wait a while, if we are full later, there is no need to wait for us .”

Grandpa Zhang nodded: "Okay, I will deliver the things to your house when the time comes."

Wuweilou is the largest restaurant in the city. Not only can you eat, but you can also listen to music and storytelling. It is called a pot of tea. You can order cheap snacks and sit for a whole morning. It is a rare entertainment place.

The two ordered food and sat down in the lobby. This time was not meal time, but there were quite a few people in the restaurant. Most people put a plate of melon seeds or dim sum on the table. There was a piece in the center of the lobby slightly higher than On the other wooden platform, an old man with long beard sat on it, his voice was hoarse but very penetrating.

"It's said that Lin Yuan returned from the ashes and returned to Xingyue City. He was full of joy and wanted to tell that lovely girl the good news, but who knew that what was waiting for him was a paper of divorce. !"

The people around were knocking on melon seeds and waiting to hear, Lian Xing looked around, his eyes sparkling, "They are talking about your book!"

"Hush!" Zheng Chengan laughed, "We won't let them know."

Lian Xing shut up, his eyes became more worshipful.

Zheng Cheng'an covered his eyes: "Okay, let's eat first, and then I can't help it", huh?"

Lian Xing heard what he meant, his ears felt hot, and he lowered his eyes.

Zheng Chengan wanted to divert his attention, and said, "Didn't you wonder why I bought saltpeter just now? Are you not curious now?"

Lian Xing said, "I'm curious, what does saltpeter do?"

Zheng Cheng'an put a piece of braised pork into his bowl: "Take a guess first."

"Cure? Or deworming?" Lian Xing's mind was really attracted, and he didn't even care about the applause from around.

Zheng Chengan shook his head: "Guess again."

After a long while, Zheng Chengan called him: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it, let's eat first."

Lian Xing took a big mouthful of rice and said depressedly, "I can't guess."

Zheng Chengan patted his head: "Do you still remember what we saw in the cloth workshop?"

"Those cloths?" Lian Xing said, "It's quite expensive. But what does this have to do with saltpeter?"

Zheng Chengan laughed: "I didn't mean cloth."

Lian Xing made a joke, and said embarrassedly: "What did you say?"

Zheng Chengan said: "After entering that room, what do you think is different from the outside?"

Lian Xing said without hesitation, "It's cool and comfortable."

As soon as the words fell, he seemed to think of something, "Is it ice?"

Zheng Chengan nodded and approved his answer.

In an instant, he couldn't figure it out again, "Why does saltpeter have something to do with ice?"

Zheng Chengan said with a smile, "Saltpeter can make ice. I'll show you when we get home."

Hearing this, Lian Xing immediately became active. He didn't eat half a bowl of rice just now, and now he will eat two bowls. The old man's storytelling on the wooden platform has also come to an end. break down!"

Sparse applause sounded from below, and the old man stood up and walked down. They heard someone complaining: "When will the next book come out? I listen to this book every day, and I will almost know it by heart."

Many people agreed with him, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

Lian Xing pursed his lips when he heard this. It took her husband several days to write this book, but they only took one hour to finish it. They were really dissatisfied.What's more, the next Husband has been written long ago, so if you want to rush, you should rush to the bookstore.

Zheng Chengan didn't guess what he was thinking, but as soon as he saw the small faces of the people around him frowning when they heard the conversation around him, he immediately understood. He pinched his small face and said, "Why? There are so many people thinking Don't you like reading your husband's book?"

Lian Xing has been forced to get used to him pinching his hands and face anytime and anywhere, instead of blushing like before, "I like it, but..."

"It's nothing to worry about, it's a good thing to be reminded." Otherwise, like him before, no one cares about it, and no one really cares about cutting texts.

Zheng Cheng'an dragged him to check out, when he heard a familiar voice as soon as he got to the front.

"Sir, I understand. This account must be recorded here, so that the two sides can be equal." The crisp female voice said happily, looking forward to the praise brightly.

The gentleman inside smiled slightly, as if he heard the movement outside, "That's right, since that's the case, you can try to settle the account outside."

The person inside came out with a smile. As soon as she came out, she saw two men staring at her. Her eyes lit up and she exclaimed in surprise: "Brother!"

Zheng Chengan and Lian Xing looked at each other, it was Forsythia.
