It was light outside, and the quilt next to Chen Wan lost its warmth.The temperature of hands and feet slowly dropped as the body woke up. Chen Wan lay still on the bed, looking at the top of the bed and thinking about ways to make money.

If it was the 80s when the policy was relatively open, Chen Wan would definitely choose to go to the provincial capital to do business.As a top fashion designer, he is well aware of the fashion trends of each era, which is equivalent to mastering a wealth code, making money is not a problem.

However, now is the seven or eight years when public ownership is prevalent, and the wealth code is temporarily frozen, and there are still three years before it will be unblocked.

Chen Wan didn't specifically understand the history of this era. The reason why she knew it was because the heroine of the original text entered the city in [-].

Hey, it's so easy for the protagonist in other novels to earn money, so why is it so difficult for him.

Especially since he had to prepare for the college entrance examination half a year later, he couldn't fully devote himself to making money.

Forget it, earn as much as you can earn, Chen Wan silently crossed out the big characters in the middle of "earn a lot of money".

The T-shirt made for Xu Kongshan can prove that Chen Wan has the ability to make clothes. When Zhou Mei buys back the sewing machine, he will take the opportunity to take over the job of making cotton jackets.

With Zhou Mei as a person, after buying back the fabrics, she will definitely put Xu Kongshan, who needs new clothes the most, first. With Xu Kongshan as a living sign, it will be a matter of course for Chen Wan to contract the clothes of Chen Yongyang and others.

Then Chen Wan would be able to make money.

Chen Wan is very confident in his craftsmanship, and there will definitely be outsiders looking for him to make clothes by then.

With confidence in his heart, Chen Wan felt less pressured. He put on the cold padded jacket by the bedside and went out with vigor.

"Sister-in-law, did Brother Shan go into the mountains to cut firewood?" Chen Wan didn't notice Xu Kongshan's figure without any surprise. He sat down in front of the stove and stuffed a handful of pine needles into it.

"Yes, I left before dawn, and he couldn't wait until I told him to eat breakfast." Zhou Mei said helplessly, "Fortunately, there are still two scones I bought in the county yesterday, and I asked him to bring them. gone."

There were beating flames in Chen Wan's eyes, and there was pity for Xu Kongshan in his heart.

"I think he must build Dashan's house. Go ahead and go to Fourth Uncle after dinner to ask where the homestead can be built in the village. Regardless of whether the money is enough, let's help Dashan approve the homestead first."

Zhou Mei said to Chen Qianjin who was washing his hands, and Chen Qianjin nodded in agreement.

The sound of chopping firewood echoed in the forest, sweat dripped down Xu Kongshan's cheeks, and the dead tree fell, startling the birds sleeping in their nests.They flapped their wings through the morning mist, drank dewdrops to moisten their throats, and then preened their bright feathers.

Because it was too hot, Xu Kongshan took off his cotton jacket and shirt, and his upper body was bare. The sun shines on his wet skin through the gaps between the leaves.

Xu Kongshan made a few new traps, and planned to come up every two days to have a look at them. Firewood is unaffordable, but meat is the real commodity.

The scones that had been left overnight soaked up the moisture and did not return to their crispness when they came out of the oven. The tough texture tugged at Xu Kongshan's mouth. The more he chewed, the stronger the aroma of the flour became.

After eating the scones, Xu Kongshan continued to work. An irregular shallow pit appeared on the ground in front of him. The falling rainwater softened the soil and formed a dirty quagmire. There were traces of wild animals rolling in it. The saplings are tottering and weeds are everywhere.

According to Xu Kongshan's experience, this place should be a frequent haunt of wild boars.

If he would choose to avoid it in the past, one is because the wild boar has strong attack power, and he doesn't want to get hurt. After all, Sun Dahua values ​​money more than his life and death; In his hands, it would make Sun Dahua even more greedy.

But it was different now, without Sun Dahua's covetous eyes, he was willing to give it a go.

There are fresh wild boar feces beside the mud pit, and the wounds on the trunk are still oozing juice, indicating that the wild boar is not far from here.

Xu Kongshan clenched the hatchet tightly, and listened to the movement around him with his ears pricked up.

The humming sound was in front of the right, Xu Kongshan slowly raised his foot.

The wild boar covered with hard black hair was happily digging on the soil. Even though Xu Kongshan's movements were so light that he could hardly hear him, his instinct as a beast made the wild boar, which seemed to weigh more than 300 kilograms, turn his head instantly.

At the foot of the mountain, Chen Jinjin told Fourth Uncle Chen about Xu Kongshan's desire to build a house. Xu Kongshan's household registration moved out, and Xu's family did not have a house assigned, which met the village's requirements for homestead application.

"Dashan wants to build a house?" Uncle Chen was surprised, "Where did he get the money?"

"I have saved a lot in these years, and it is far from building a house. But with a large branch and a large family, there will definitely be more and more people in the village who want to build new houses. There are only so many good homesteads. If you don't decide first, When Dashan saves enough money, he probably has to go to the ravine."

Chen Qianjin trusted Fourth Uncle Chen, and did not hide from him the fact that Xu Kongshan was rich.

"Dashan knows it's good to save money, but I'm still worried that he won't want anything when the family is separated, so he can live with it." Sure enough, Uncle Chen also admired Xu Kongshan's behavior of saving money, "Wait for me to see which homesteads in the village It's empty."

Chen Jinjin guessed right. In the past two years, more and more people wanted to build houses in the village. In the days before and after the food distribution, three families came to Chen Sishu, all for the homestead.

"I think it's pretty good here." Fourth Uncle Chen flipped through the village register, "It's right next to your house, the boy from Dashan kisses you, just to be your companion."

The land next to the Chen family is of course good. On the side of the main road, Chen Qianjin and He Laosan are easy to get along with, but the area is a little small, so it has been left over.

The small area is not a shortcoming for Xu Kongshan. Anyway, his budget is not much, the land is small, and it is enough to simply build a bedroom, main room, and kitchen.

Chen Qianjin also thought it was very good, he wrote it down, and when Xu Kongshan came back to ask his opinion, he could press his thumbprint if he could.

There is no need to pay to apply for a homestead, which barely made Xu Kongshan, who was not rich, worse.

"go ahead!"

On the way home after Chen Jinjin chose the homestead, Old Zhao walked towards him calling his name.

"I'm going to look for you." Old Zhao quickly approached, "My family kills sheep in the afternoon, remember to come and get the meat."

Chen Qianjin stopped in his tracks: "Okay, is your sheep booked yet?"

"Hey, no." Old Zhao patted his thigh, "They say they'd rather buy pork because they're afraid they won't get used to it. Next year I'll get two piglets to raise."

Lao Zhao rushed to inform other people who had ordered mutton, and left in a hurry when he got the word.

In the yard, Sun Dahua sat with Wang Cui and Liu Qiang's mother under the sun, chatting and taking out the soles of their shoes.

"Hey, what's the situation with the three of the Xu family these two days?" Wang Cui couldn't wait to ask Liu Qiang's mother about Sun Dahua's current situation, staring at her and forgetting the movements of her hands.

"What else could it be? It's the same as before." Mentioning the Xu family, Liu Qiang's mother was full of disgust, "There is no shortage of firewood or food. Sun Dahua eats every day and goes to the west. It's a pity that the land opened by the mountains, It's all grass, wasting the vegetables grown in vain."

It is impossible to expect three lazy people to change their nature at once. Liu Qiang's mother cut off the thread: "I see what they will do when they have no food to eat!"

Xu Kongshan's separation seemed to have no effect on Sun Dahua and the others. Xu Youcai still drank every day, and Xu Laiqian's bad reputation got worse because of stealing things. Children in the village would not play with him even if their parents told them to.

"Being a neighbor with a thief is really bad luck for eight lifetimes." Liu Qiang's mother was angry, "I haven't slept well these two nights, and I'm afraid that Xu Laiqian will come to pry my house in the middle of the night."

Wang Cui felt deeply sympathetic: "I said you should just build a new house and move out."

The three educated youths were destined to stay for a short time, and Liu Qiang's mother would feel even more uncomfortable when it was just them and the Xu family.

"You think I don't want to move. If I had the money to start a new house, I would have moved." Liu Qiang's father was not in good health, and they had to pay for Liu Qiang's education, so they couldn't save money at all.

Fortunately, Liu Qiang was upbeat and passed the recruitment of the textile factory. The hard life of their family seemed to be coming to an end.

Thinking of this, Liu Qiang's mother's expression became relaxed, and she finished the soles of her shoes in two or three strokes.

"Guihua, do you have any more cloth heads? Let me order some. Next time I go to the market, I will buy them back for you." Guihua is Liu Qiang's mother's name. Zhou Mei filled half of the soles of her shoes, and there is no cloth head. She searched the sewing basket and couldn't find it. Come out a piece.

"A little piece of rag is worthless, so what are you paying for it? Use it." Liu Qiang's mother grabbed the rag and put it in Zhou Mei's sewing basket.

Zhou Mei thanked her, and Wang Cui asked strangely, "Didn't you buy a lot of rags and use them up?"

The two bought it together, she still has a lot of children, Zhou Mei used it up too quickly.

Zhou Mei smiled, and told about Chen Wan's making clothes. She wanted to show them, but she turned her head and found that Xu Kongshan had put the clothes in last night, so she raised her hand to mark the size twice.

Chen Wan can still make clothes?Wang Cui and Liu Qiang's mother expressed surprise one after another.

"I never thought he could do it." Zhou Mei said modestly, but her tone was a little proud.Chen Wan had never made clothes before, so she sewed a T-shirt just from memory, how to say that word.

Yes, a genius, Chen Wan is simply a genius.

It happened that Chen Wan passed by in the corridor, and Wang Cui and Liu Qiang's mother caught him and praised him fiercely.

The three women cleaned the soles for a while, and Liu Qiang's mother looked at the sun and put down her needlework: "I have to go back to cook, let's go first."

As soon as she stood up, Wang Cui followed suit, and Zhou Mei called them to stop, and each of them cut the leeks and let them go back.

When Chen Qianjin came back, Zhou Mei had just washed the rice, and poured the rice washing water into the hog bucket to feed the pigs.

"What did Uncle Si say?" Zhou Mei wiped her hands, and grabbed a plate of sour cowpea from the jar, which was mixed with a few bright red pickled peppers.

"Okay, the one next to us, if Dashan agrees, go directly to register and press your fingerprint." Seeing the sour cowpea, Chen Jinjin's mouth salivated instantly, "Lao Zhao will kill the sheep in the afternoon, and his sheep has not been ordered yet. I wonder if we should buy two more catties, five catties of meat may not be enough."

Xu Kongshan's appetite is obvious to all.He only ate two bowls of rice for the first meal. Zhou Mei didn't believe that this was his real food intake. Next time, he changed to a bigger bowl. She knew that Xu Kongshan was talking to her.

So Zhou Mei pretended to be angry, saying that Xu Kongshan treated them as outsiders, so to speak, Xu Kongshan finally let go of his restraint, ate four bowls in a row, and then embarrassedly told them that he was full.

"Buy ten catties." Zhou Mei chopped the sour cowpea and pickled pepper together, "The land next to us is just right for Dashan to build a house."

The distance is close, and the size is suitable. Xu Kongshan can live alone or with a wife in the future.In the future, when the population increases, you can learn how to build buildings in the city. Anyway, Xu Kongshan has the ability to earn money, and saving for a few more years will be enough.

"Okay, let's kill the pigs at some point." Chen Qianjin planned, two pigs, the smaller one rushed to the public, the big one was killed and sold half, and the half was kept for himself, and by the way, he made some bacon sausages for him. Several brothers and sisters are given away.

In the afternoon, Chen Qianjin bought the mutton, which was ten and a half catties including the belt meat, the boss one.Zhou Mei divided it into five portions with a knife, kept one portion for dinner, and spread the rest with salt and hung it up.

Zhou Mei learned how to make mutton from Chen Jianjun. He joined the army in the north. Beef and mutton are the main meat in the area, and a piece of mutton can be made into dozens of tricks.

The best is the lamb on the beach, the meat is tender, boiled in water and sprinkled with salt, it can make people's tongue fresh, without any smell.

Lao Zhao raises goats, which are not suitable for boiling in water. Zhou Mei added ginger slices to blanch the water, scooped them up and rinsed them, and then stewed them with peppercorns and star anise until the skin was crispy and the meat was rotten, and the soup was milky white before using a bowl. Serve it up and ask Chen Wan and the others to wash their hands and eat.

"Did you save rice for Dashan?" Chen Qianjin asked before moving his chopsticks, and Zhou Mei said that he kept it, warming it in the pot.

The stewed mutton tasted so good that Chen Yongyang ate it without raising his head. Chen Wan was thinking about Xu Kongshan and had no appetite, so he managed to finish the rice in the bowl and drank half a bowl of soup to avoid worrying Zhou Mei and the others.

The moment the wild boar fell down suddenly, Xu Kongshan sat on the ground exhausted. He had brute strength and had never learned any skills. After struggling with it for a long time, he found a chance to give it a fatal blow.

The smell of blood spread rapidly in the air, Xu Kongshan took a short rest, disemboweled the wild boar, discarded the internal organs, and lost dozens of catties of weight.

It got dark unknowingly, Xu Kongshan pulled the rattan and tied the wild boar behind him and dragged it.

The road down the mountain has never been so long, and the unknown mountain owl screamed in the sky, like a baby crying at night.

Xu Kongshan's footsteps were firm, without any fear in his heart, as if there was nothing in the world worthy of his fear.

"It's so late, Dashan probably won't come back, Liu'er should go to bed early." Xu Kongshan still hasn't appeared after the clock strikes nine o'clock, Chen Qianjin dozed off bit by bit, Zhou Mei pushed him shoulders.

When Xu Kongshan left in the morning, he left a message, don't wait for him at night.

After bolting the door of the main room, Chen Wan sat on the bed with her knees hugged. When there was a slight disturbance outside, he immediately looked up excitedly, but it turned out that it was nothing but joy.

The room was so quiet that he could almost hear his own breathing, Chen Wan couldn't help but think of the original text about Xu Kongshan's fate.

Perhaps he fanned the wings of the butterfly. There is no plot in the original text about the separation of Xu Kongshan and the Xu family. He endured the exploitation of the Xu family day after day. When I was in a new house, I fell off a beam and landed on the back of my head.

The heroine was also on the scene at the time, and the author used a lot of pen and ink to describe how tragic that scene was.

[Bright red blood flowed out from the back of Xu Kongshan's head, blood gushed out of his eyes, mouth and nose, he didn't die immediately, the huge pain made his whole body twitch...]

Combined with Xu Kongshan's behavior of saving money behind Sun Dahua's back, Chen Wan infers that he should be planning to leave Xu's family, and perhaps building a new house for Xu's family is the time for him to be relieved.

But Xu Kongshan in the original text will always stay at the age of 26.

Chen Wan didn't dare to think about it anymore, he kept trembling, and tears silently flowed down his cheeks into the padded jacket.

The night cat croaked, and Xu Kongshan's breathing was as heavy as his footsteps. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he slammed the wild boar to the ground.

The starry sky above his head flickered, Xu Kongshan leaned against the wild boar, his legs shook uncontrollably, and he finally got down.

Xu Kongshan was exhausted, thinking that Chen Wan and the others must have fallen asleep, so he could just make do with the whole night here.

The night wind dried the sweat on his face, and the sticky feeling stuck to his face. Xu Kongshan regained control of his body, pushed his hands to the ground and stood up.

Just in case, what if Chen Wan hasn't slept yet.

Xu Kongshan stood outside the gate of the Chen family courtyard. The pitch-black house was like a giant beast lurking in the dark night to choose people and devour them.

No one is waiting for him.

A lonely expression appeared on Xu Kongshan's face, no one was waiting for him.

He turned around lonely, at the same time, a warm yellow light lit up behind him, and Chen Wan turned on the light: "Brother Shan?"

Surprise seemed to break through Xu Kongshan's heart, he turned his head abruptly.Chen Wan quickly ran out of the house and opened the closed courtyard door.

As soon as Chen Wan approached Xu Kongshan, the bloody smell rushed towards his face, and his face changed drastically: "Brother Shan, are you injured?"

Chen Wan's tone was full of panic, she wanted to pull Xu Kongshan into the light source to check his situation, but she was also worried that Xu Kongshan would be hurt even more if he did it rashly.

"I'm fine, Liu'er, I'm not injured." Xu Kongshan hurriedly replied to Chen Wan, "I killed a wild boar."

Chen Wan's eyes widened in an instant. Even though Xu Kongshan strongly denied it, he was still uneasy. He took Xu Kongshan's arm and walked to the eaves, looking at him from the beginning to the end with the help of the light.After confirming that there were no scars on his body other than being too embarrassing, he finally let go of his tensed heart.

The wet feeling on the palms and back reminded Chen Wan that he was in a cold sweat from Xu Kongshan's fright just now.

Chen Wan didn't care whether there was a wild boar or not. He took him to the kitchen and lit a fire to heat up the cold mutton soup.

The smell of stewed mutton made Xu Kongshan swallow his saliva. He consciously washed his hands and face, pulled out his chopsticks and sat down on the small bench in the kitchen with the bowl in his hand, looking eagerly at the cauldron on the stove.

Chen Wan was amused by his appearance, waited for the mutton soup to boil, took his bowl and scooped a large spoonful into it: "Drink the soup first, I'll heat up the rice."

"No need to heat it up, I'll eat it while soaking the soup." Xu Kongshan didn't pay much attention, and before Chen Wan could react, he shaved off a bowl of rice.

"Brother Shan, eat slowly." Chen Wan was helpless, and Xu Kongshan swallowed: "Okay."

Chen Wan poured out all the soup in the pot, washed it, scooped up half a pot of water, and boiled it. Xu Kongshan looked like this, so he couldn't do without a bath.

After the meal, the water in the pot was still not hot, so Xu Kongshan put the bowl on the stove and wiped his mouth: "I'll go get the wild boar back."

With enough food and drink, coupled with his heart being filled, Xu Kongshan was full of strength again.

"Da Shan is back?" Although Chen Wan tried his best to keep his movements light, the sound of cooking a hot meal still inevitably woke up Chen Qianjin and Zhou Mei

"Well, Brother Shan said he killed a wild boar!" Chen Wan would have time to care about wild boars now, and he rushed to speak out before Xu Kongshan.

Chen Qianjin fell asleep completely: "Where is the wild boar?"

"It's at the foot of the mountain." Xu Kongshan stopped Chen Qianjin, who was going to change clothes, "Uncle Chen, I can do it alone. The wild boar is very dirty. Don't help me, to save trouble."

Xu Kongshan has been dragged down from the mountain so far, is there still such a distance?

Chen Qianjin didn't change his clothes, but he changed his shoes and went out with Xu Kongshan.

The two went there for about 10 minutes. Chen Wan stared dumbfounded at the wild boar carcass in the yard, and couldn't help feeling terrified that Xu Kongshan dared to challenge it with such a big head!

Thinking of the danger involved, Chen Wan couldn't be happy at all.

Chen Qianjin also said that Xu Kongshan's behavior was too risky. Someone in the village was stabbed to death by wild boar's fangs before!

"Don't do this next time." Chen Qianjin warned with a stern face, "Let the wild boar be in the yard. Go take a shower and sleep, and deal with it tomorrow morning."

The temperature is low in winter, and the meat quality will not deteriorate after being left overnight.

"Meizi, how much money do we have now?" Chen Qianjin asked in a low voice after entering the room.The Chen family is a typical man in charge of the house and woman in charge of the house. Zhou Mei is in charge of the family's finances, and Chen Qianjin has no specific concept.

As soon as he said it, Zhou Mei understood what he meant: "There are more than 2000 people not counting Yongfei, and it is enough to lend Dashan to build a house."

"I really didn't expect that Dashan would kill a wild boar for money." When Chen Qianjin saw the wild boar at the foot of the mountain, his legs almost went limp. Xu Kongshan was really desperate.

"Who isn't?" Zhou Mei clutched her chest, "My heart is pounding when I think of that wild boar."

Xu Kongshan moved the threshing bucket to cover the wild boar to prevent the mice from biting.

"Liu'er, go to bed first." After tidying up, Xu Kongshan took a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. Transparent hot water flowed from the top of his head to the ground, turning into a black color.

Chen Wan had a lot to say to Xu Kongshan, how could he sleep, and expected that he would wash his hair, so she helped him find a dry handkerchief and put it on the bedside table in advance.

"Brother Shan, don't do such a dangerous thing next time, okay?"

Xu Kongshan was still calm when facing the wild boar, but the worry in Chen Wan's eyes made him flustered.

"I won't be in danger." Xu Kongshan looked guilty and dazed. If he didn't kill wild boars, what could he do to save enough money to build a house as soon as possible?

Money was a common problem before him and Chen Wan.

A good swimmer drowns, a good rider falls, Xu Kongshan said that he will not be in danger, is it true that nothing will happen to him?Chen Wan didn't dare to take chances on this.

"Brother Shan..." Chen Wan muttered, what should he say, is he going to confess to Xu Kongshan?

Chen Wan couldn't confirm whether Xu Kongshan's current affection for him could support him to accept his own intentions. Homosexuality is such a shocking thing in this era.

Chen Wan's weeping expression made Xu Kongshan panic: "I won't do it, and I will never do such a dangerous thing again."

How could he forget, now he will be worried.

Xu Kongshan raised his hand to assure that there is always another way to deal with money.

Chen Wan burst into tears, he believed that Xu Kongshan would not do it again after he promised.

Xu Kongshan dried his hair, and Chen Wan slept on the inner side of the bed, making way for him to lie warm.When Xu Kongshan lay down, Chen Wan took the initiative to put her foot into the crook of his leg without any hesitation.

It seems that something is different.

Chen Wan's intimacy gave Xu Kongshan an indescribable feeling, like a candy, which sweetened his whole being.

The author has something to say: Chen Wan: I want to confess QAQ
