husband, he picked it up [farming]

After the withered grass was burned, Fang Mu used a wooden stick to paw and pull to make sure there were no sparks before going to Chao Yanna.

And Chaoyan has already taken advantage of this time to turn over a ridge.

The overturned soil is moist, and some are still carrying wriggling earthworms.

"Brother Mu, I think this ridge should be thickened." Chaoyan has experience in farming. Although this wasteland is wide and fertile, it is affected by wind and rain, and the surface soil is hard to lose. If you want to plant, it is best to add more. thicker.

"Are you planning to redistribute the monopoly?"

Chaoyan knocked off the grass hidden in the field with a hoe and threw it aside, then hummed: "It's better like this."

"Sure, I'll go to my elder brother to borrow a hoe." There are many things in the house that are the same, especially a hoe. It costs hundreds of cash to buy one, and Fang Mu can't bear it and can't use it.

"No, after a while the ash cools and you scatter it on the ground. I'll dig two ridges to plant vegetables first. It won't take long."

Fang Mu thought that he had also hoeed a ridge, so he said, "I'll come, you have a rest."

He went up to snatch the hoe, and Chao Yan was a strong man herself, so she didn't dare to push people, for fear of making things bad for them, Fang Mu easily snatched them under such concerns.

Chao Yan had no choice but to step aside, he watched Fang Mu's hoe for a while, thought of something, turned and went to the house, after a while, came out with a teapot: "Brother Mu, drink some water."

It's too hot, even just standing under the sun will make you sweat, let alone working?

Fang Mu was also a little thirsty, he originally planned to go in for a drink later, but Chao Yan was so considerate: "Bring it here."

Chao Yan took it easy.

Fang Mu drank most of the pot in one go, he gave the cup to Chaoyan, wiped the water from his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "I bought brown sugar, if you want something sweet, you can add some yourself."

"If you said earlier, I could still add more to the pot."

Fang Mu smiled and said, "I bought it for you."

Chaoyan distorted his words: "I think it's better to like me earlier if you buy me this or that."

Seeing his serious look, Fang Mu couldn't help laughing: "If I'm not willing to spend money for you, what's the use of liking you?"

Seems like that?

Chao Yan thought about it seriously, and almost got herself caught in Fang Mu's language trap, before realizing it after a while: "Then you can like me first and then spend money."

Fang Mu asked sincerely: "Why?"

"In case you don't like me, the two of us still have to break up, and when the time comes, we will lose money and people, thanks to you."

Fang Mu stopped to hoe the ground, stuck his elbow on the hoe stick, and said with a smile: "Just because you are so sweet, I will not lose."

Chaoyan was just playing lip service, his courage was limited to this point, when Fang Mu attacked, he couldn't stand it at all, and he surrendered before the battle was fought.

She blushed and avoided Fang Mu's gaze, not daring to look directly at him.

Fang Mu didn't retreat but advanced, seeming to promise but also seemingly inadvertently: "I have no intention of breaking up with you."

If it was just the beginning, Fang Mu might think so, but now... Wouldn't it be nice to have such an interesting person by his side?

Chaoyan responded to him: "I won't break up with you either."

This time Fang Mu really couldn't help laughing out loud.

Fearing that he would not be able to hold back, he began to hoe the ground to distract himself, so as not to piss people off in a while.

He still remembered that Chao Yan could kill him with a single punch.

Chaoyan knew that his smile was not malicious, and even knew that she was teasing him, so she just broke the jar and laughed if she wanted to, it could make Fang Mu happy.

Both of them revealed this and said no more.

After a while, under the relay of the two, the two ridges were finally dug out.

In the field where rapeseed is scattered, the clods of soil must be broken up so that it is more conducive to the germination of rapeseed.

This part was done by Asakao.

The square wood is mixed with cold plant ash into the soil.

It took almost an hour to dig and divide the two ridges of land.

The sun gradually slanted westward.

The plant ash is mixed in the soil as fertilizer, and the rapeseed can be sprinkled later as long as the ground is watered and moistened.

Fang Mu went back to get the bucket and ladle.

He dug a water hole in front of the house because of this. Although water can be obtained from other places under the mountain to irrigate the field, it will not be more convenient than in front of home.

While Fang Mu was going to get the bucket, a boy of twelve or thirteen came down the mountain to the wasteland.

The boy was dressed in brown-green and vertical brown. He was tall and muscular than ordinary children.

The other party was holding a plate in his hand, and there was a piece of tender tofu in the plate.

Li Yuhui walked up the mountain pass from the bottom of the mountain, and suddenly he and Chao Yan's big eyes closed their small eyes.

Seeing a stranger, Li Yuhui stopped instinctively, carefully protecting the tofu in his hand, and asked crisply, "Who are you?"

This road can only go to Fang Mu's house, and the direction of the other party is the village. Looking at the things in his hand, Chaoyan guessed that this should be Fang Mu's order with the village at noon, and now they are here to deliver the goods, so Chao Yan replied: "My name is Chao Yan."

Li Yuhui looked at the big brother who was wearing a straw hat and holding a hoe, obviously working, and his guard remained undiminished: "I'm looking for Uncle Muzi."

Chaoyan pointed into the room: "Inside."

Li Yuhui avoided him and went to the house, shouting as he walked, "Uncle Muzi, I'm here to deliver the tofu."

Fang Mu was coming out of the house with a bucket, when he heard the shout, he looked up and saw Li Yuhui walking hurriedly.

He had to put the bucket down again.

"Don't you have class today?"

Li Datong has a good family and earns money by selling tofu. He thinks that the whole family can't be illiterate, and the eldest son can inherit the family's craftsmanship. It is better than farming, so I sent my youngest son, Li Yuhui, to a school. Because there are not many schools in a village that can hand in Shuxiu, no one can afford to go to school, even Fang Mu, who lives so far away, has heard of it. .

What's more, the relationship between him and Li Datong's family is not estranged.

Seeing someone he knew, Li Yuhui secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and replied, "School is already over."

Of course, Fang Mu didn't know when he went to and from school, but he nodded when he said that, took the tofu over, and asked, "Come in for a cup of tea?"

"Thank you Uncle Muzi, I still have to go to another house to deliver tofu, so don't bother me."

If you want to say that you have been to school, you have been to school, and your speech is all polite.

"Then wait a while, I'll get the money." After entering the house, he put the tofu on his own plate and covered it with a bamboo vegetable cover, and then took out a penny from his purse and held it in his hand.

When they went out, they were handed over to Li Yuhui together.

Originally, when the goods were delivered and the money was collected, he should leave, but Li Yuhui couldn't help being curious, and even though he and Chaoyan were separated by a long distance, he lowered his voice: "Uncle Muzi, is that person your friend?"

Seeing his gossip, Fang Mu patted his head amusedly: "What are you asking for? His name is Chaoyan, and he will live in my house from now on."

Li Yuhui was not angry either, he patted his head, and said stupidly: "Then he is living with you?"

"you can say it this way."

"Oh." Li Yuhui seemed to understand, but he was a good boy, and he would never ask what shouldn't be asked: "Then I'll go back, see you, Uncle Muzi."

Fang Mu hummed.

Li Yuhui turned around and left.

Fang Mu picked up the bucket again to scoop water from the puddle.

If Li Yuhui wanted to go down the mountain, he had to pass Chaoyan. Knowing that this person had something to do with Fang Mu, Li Yuhui was no longer afraid, and greeted Chaoyan: "Uncle Chaoyan, I'm leaving, goodbye."

Chaoyan didn't expect that he was still talking to her, she straightened up in a daze, and waved her hand.

After a while, Fang Mu came over with water, and Li Yuhui had already reached the main road, leaving only his back.

Chao Yan pointed at his back and asked Fang Mu: "Whose child is this?"

Fang Mu scooped water from the bucket and poured it on the ground: "Brother Datong's family is called Li Yuhui, he is his youngest son."

Chaoyan said: "It looks very upright."

Fang Mu intentionally teased him: "That's true, in the future he won't be worse than me."

Chao Yan was really amused: "I think you are better."

Fang Mu said while splashing water: "Then you should be more modest."

Chaoyan was so amused.

The work of sowing rapeseed was finished while the two were joking.

After doing this, it's time to prepare dinner.

Dinner is stick bone soup and smooth tofu. The soft tofu is fried until the surface is golden, then add sweet potato flour to thicken it with water, sprinkle with chopped green onion after it is out of the pan, it is called a fragrant, rice tonight, two dishes Enough is enough, the pork will be saved for tomorrow.

Let's talk about Li Yuhui.

When he got home, his mother Li Qian was still distributing the tofu.

This is usually how they work. His brother and father pick up tofu to sell in other villages, his sister-in-law goes to the farm, and he runs errands.

Seeing him coming back, Li Qian didn't raise his head, and pointed at a certain piece of tofu with a different look and said, "This is for your Uncle Fan Shui."

Li Yuhui had no reason not to obey his mother's orders, so he handed over the penny he got from Fang Mu to his mother, and said by the way: "Uncle Muzi has an extra person in his family."

"Huh?" Li Qian didn't understand.

Li Yuhui said: "My name is Chaoyan, and I live with Uncle Muzi."

Li Qian's movement of receiving the money paused, and asked in a low voice, "Men and women?"

"man."

"..." I haven't heard of this.

It would have been spread all over Xishui Village if it was changed to another house, but Fang Mu’s house is no better than other residents in the village. He is alone at the foot of Changling Mountain, and his position is still higher than the ground. I couldn't find it, so after so many days, no one outside knew about it except the insider.

Li Qian's idea was very simple. Although Fang Mu was poor, he would not be unable to marry a wife, but he chose to find a man, presumably because of his true feelings.

As for whether Fang Lin knew it or not, he was already a person in bed. With Fang Mu's temperament, it was impossible not to tell his elder brother.

Then why haven't they heard the gossip until now, presumably Fang Lin was too embarrassed to tell it, not even his own wife.

Thoughts were clear, although Li Qian wanted to share this gossip with others, but she had only given orders in the afternoon, so she had no choice but to stop thinking about it: "You just need to know about this, don't talk about it outside."

Li Yuhui nodded: "Mom, don't talk about it."

Li Qianshi wanted to beat him up.

Li Yuhui walked away, took the tofu he wanted to give away by the way, and ran away in a desperate manner.
