Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

We were both a little lost last night, and we had another serious talk this morning over dinner.

I told Chen Xiang clearly that I knew what he was worried about. It was nothing more than that I would be gossiped by the villagers when I was with him, and it would be uncomfortable. I didn't care. Really, when I came back yesterday afternoon, I thought he was gone. Emotions let me really understand thoroughly that Chen Xiang is far more important in my heart than I thought.

I really like him, rely on him, and don't want to leave him.

He was silent for a long time after hearing these words, and then said to me: "Brother Zhang Cheng, you are the best person in the world, okay, I and you, I, Chen Xiang, swear that I will treat you better than myself for the rest of my life. "

I rubbed his head with a smile and said, "Thank you."

He felt embarrassed and said, "Thank you for what I did, I should thank you."

I asked him why he thought of doing laundry yesterday, and whether those people made things difficult for him.

He shook his head and said that he was the first one to go yesterday, and those people came later. He wanted to hide for a while, but he was already halfway through the wash, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue washing.

Thinking about how those people hid far away and excluded Chen Xiang alone, I felt very uncomfortable.

Having said that the meals have been eaten, I told Chen Xiang what happened yesterday, told him that I was going to tell a book today, and also told him that the original restaurant might not be easy to operate.Chen Xiang smiled and said it was nothing, the two of us have hands and feet, we can always live on, and we are already doing much better than the villagers who only know how to farm.

His optimism also infected me, and I suddenly felt that it was no big deal, it was nothing more than job-hopping, and I skipped it in the original world too!

When I was in a good mood, I wanted to tease Chen Xiang. Before going out, I stretched and said, "Ah Xiang, I have to go."

Chen Xiang: "Well, slow down on the road."

I pointed to my face: "Kiss me before leaving."

Chen Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then two red clouds could be seen floating on his face. I was in a good mood and urged him to hurry up.

He stomped his feet and wanted to run in shame, can I let him run? I immediately grabbed his hand and brought him into my arms, ha, I feel that I have never been so fast.

Then I kissed his forehead, and he clenched his small hands into fists against my chest, protesting softly: "What are you doing!"

I said as a matter of course: "What's the matter, isn't it like this between lovers!"

He muttered: "Not married yet."

Yo, I raised his chin, leaned over and asked, "Are you in a hurry to get married?"

"I do not have……"

"Don't worry, there are more embarrassing things to do after getting married, let's warm up in advance."

Chen Xiang blushed to the point of bleeding, he was annoyed: "What are you talking about, don't be ashamed."

I held up his red face with both hands, pretending to be surprised and said: "Why, Ah Xiang, do you know what to do after getting married?"

Chen Xiang wanted to lower his head again, but his face was held by me and he couldn't lower it. I was almost ashamed to see him, he was so cute.

He said he was an adult, and his mother had told him about these things when he was 15 years old, so he knew something about it.

So cute, I feel like I'm bullying a child.

But the kid was so ashamed that he was about to cry, and I didn't dare to bully him anymore, so I kissed his lips in the gesture of holding my face.

Haha, I hummed a little tune along the way, so it turns out that being in love is so wonderful!No wonder people say that sweet love is really sweet, Ah Xiang is very sweet.

I told a few stories about Journey to the West to the two little monkeys of the Cui family. Boss Cui gave me [-] cents. My God, it was twice my previous income. I love such a boss, MUA~

After telling the story they wanted to keep me for dinner, but I was too embarrassed to stay this time. I told them that there was someone waiting at home and I had to go back early, but they didn't stay any longer.

After leaving Cui’s house, I went to the grocery store in the town to buy a thousand-character text. Why is it a grocery store? Because there are very few people who study in the town. If you open a stationery store, you will starve to death, so it’s all mixed with other groceries. They are sold together, and the boss still has to rely on the money for groceries to eat.

This is the only store in the town that sells books.

There are not many types of books, only the Three-Character Classic and Thousand-Character Classic, which are tightly wrapped in oiled paper and carefully stored in the cleanest place. There are also some small yellow books placed in the dark, which are more casual.

I bought two brushes, a small piece of ink and the cheapest inkstone, and a stack of the roughest Guangping Xuan. I observed the paper sold here, and there was no jade satin Xuan that Cui Changyu mentioned. The backcountry can't afford it, and most of Guangping's Xuanye are rough. There is a small stack of more delicate ones, which are placed on the highest shelf, and few people will buy them.

I don't care, anyway, it's just for learning to write, as long as you can write, you don't need too good paper, although the pen and paper here are not very expensive, but for farmers, it is still a luxury, and the village does not use straw paper to use small wood chips someone here.

There is a farm tool shop in the town, but I didn't bring much money today, so forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow.

I went to buy fabric and chose light green muslin for Chen Xiang. This is the material for his wedding dress, and it should be delicate and comfortable.

When I was buying red fabric for myself, I bought a little more on a whim, and I also bought some colorful threads. I wanted Chen Xiang to make some shameful things haha, I don’t know if he would like it or not.

Thinking about going back to have lunch, I hurried back to the village, and as soon as I entered the village entrance, I saw a mess in the small dilapidated house at the head of the village, and Liu Xi was bouncing around watching the excitement.

I went over to gossip with my things, and I asked what was wrong.

Liu Xi pulled me aside, and said meanly: "The Qiu family is going to move today, and the Su family is making trouble."

I was confused: "What's going on?"

Liu Xi glanced over there, smiled, and said, "I just found out that this Qiu Dazhong is actually a dishonest person. When it snowed in winter and we didn't go out very often, he would lie on the wall of Su's house every day to peek at Su Mai. For the first time, the family found out that they were not scared to death by him."

I:"……"

This big guy looks quite decent, why does he climb other people's walls to look at other people's little brothers all day long?

I asked again: "Then why is he still moving? Will he be able to move into the village in just a few days?"

Liu Xi said: "Didn't Qiu Dazhong go to the town two days ago? He found a job there and provided some wild game to restaurants. Isn't this a serious job? The village chief let him stay .”

I find it a bit inconceivable that people who enter the village are based on their character, so can someone who climbs a wall be admitted?

Liu Xi whispered that Qiu Dazhong sent a lot of things to the village chief in order to stay, or it would be useless for the Su family to make trouble, and the village chief had already done it.

Uh, well, the village head is in the background, pretty tough.

But when did Qiu Dazhong fall in love with Su Mai?I don't know about this, and Liu Xi can't tell.

It's not really my business. I talked to Liu Xi for a while, and Liu Zhaoshi ran out of the house and grabbed Liu Xi's ear and left. I followed up and asked what was going on. Liu Zhaoshi said that she I just counted the eggs, and found that two more were missing. I seriously suspected that this kid stole it for Qiu Xiaomei to eat. Those were eggs for Liu Dong's wedding!

I was dumbfounded, Liu Xi would still do such a thing, I am amused to see him being reprimanded by Mrs. Liu Zhao, and then I looked at the Su family behind me, feeling like spring is really coming.

I happily opened the door to the house. Chen Xiang was in the kitchen and just finished the meal. When he saw me coming back, he smiled at me. He made scallion pancakes and stewed a pot of radish and pork ribs, which was very fragrant.

We washed our hands and ate first, and I showed him the things I bought after the meal.

Chen Xiang couldn't put it down as he touched the light green cotton cloth, blushing slightly, I went to hug him and asked, "Do you like it?"

Chen Xiang nodded, and said in a low voice, "How can you buy such a good cloth? It costs a lot of money!"

I said, "Of course it's a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and it must be put to good use."

He pursed his lips and smiled, and I brought him the red cloth again, and he saw that there was a small piece, which was strange, and asked, "What is this small piece for?"

I suppressed a smile and said, "It's for you."

"?"

I gestured the small piece of fabric to his chest, and said, "Ah Xiang, on the wedding night, can you show me the little bellyband?"

Chen Xiang jumped up from my arms, threw the red cloth far away, his face was flushed, as if he was about to boil, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, saying: "You! You are really dishonest. through!"

Then he covered his face and ran away.

I finally couldn't help laughing out loud, stuffed all the fabrics and needles into his room, and said loudly, "Ah Xiang embroidered well!"

Then I was thrown out by a shoe, hahaha, so much fun.

Chen Xiang was awkwardly hiding in the room and couldn't come out, so I went back to my room and opened the Thousand Characters...

Then it crashes and closes.

I feel dizzy when I see traditional characters. Although I used to like to use traditional characters to post on Weibo Moments for a while, I feel like an old cadre, but the feeling of typing and handwriting is completely different!

That's all, I still don't really want to be illiterate, no matter what I want to do in the future, why do I settle down, it is always useful to be able to read and write.

So I poured some water into the inkstone, rubbed the ink, spread out a piece of paper, and first wrote a few words I knew.

"The heaven and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is prehistoric, the sun and the moon are full..." What is the word below me?

I used a brush to draw a circle next to the unknown character, and I will ask Boss Cui tomorrow, they should all have read the book and know the character.

I practice the characters I know first. My handwriting is not ugly. Although the calligraphy is unfamiliar, at least I can write generously, clearly and neatly after practicing a few times.

I can't take the imperial examination, and it's enough to write neatly every day.

After writing for a while, Chen Xiang quietly came over, and was surprised to see me writing, so I handed him the pen: "Do you want to try it too?"

He shook his head and said, "I don't know how to read or write."

I pulled him onto the kang, pointed to the words in the book and said, "I don't even know the circled ones. If you want to learn, I'll teach you what I know first."

"Ah? Is it possible?" Chen Xiang's big eyes were full of anticipation, full of desire for literacy.

"Of course." I put down my pen and pointed to him word by word.

He is very serious in learning, I asked him to recognize one and write another, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't take up the pen, but scratched with his finger on the table, I let him go, but his fingers were thin and white, I really want him to draw circles on my chest.

I am not pure anymore.
