husband, he picked it up [farming]

The day they started to build the thatched cottage was the eighth day they knew each other.

Early this morning, the two woke up to work.

In fact, it is not difficult to build a thatched house. The first thing is to dig a drainage ditch, and the second is to build a frame.

Fang Mu chose the location of the thatched hut next to the puddle and right in front of the door, which is the best choice for easy access to water.

It can also hook up the drain of the puddle.

It took the two of them half an hour to dig the drainage ditch in the sun, and then it was piling and framework.

The dull impact rang on the ground for a long time before it stopped.

It was already evening when the framework was built, and the two of them had no energy after a long day of work. They even took care of dinner casually, just to rest early.

On the ninth day, it is to tie the thatch to the built frame. This part needs to be more careful, because it needs to be tied twice more to prevent rain leakage.

The meticulous work was done over and over again. Even the roof, including the walls, were all covered with thatch. This process took another day.

But it was worth it, because no matter how hard the process was, the two of them still set up the bathroom.

A brand new thatched cottage sits next to the house.

Looking at the freshly baked thatched cottage, the two with their hips on their hips smiled knowingly, very happy.

Because Fangmu originally reserved a large space for the fence, the area of ​​the thatched hut is also wide. In addition to the bathing place, there is also space for some things in the room, such as hoes.

Building a bathroom has other benefits besides not having to make room for bathing, such as storing some infrequently used items and dry firewood in the room.

The room was partially emptied and looked wider.

The two of them took a bath there that night, but because the floor was still muddy, they still used the bathtub.

The two have been busy since they met, first weeding, and then building the bathroom. They haven't taken a breath for a moment. Now that the two major tasks are finally finished, the two can take a rest.

Tonight, because it was too late to move things, the sun had already set for dinner, and the two of them were drinking porridge by candlelight.

The two were sitting opposite each other, and Fang Mu said, "It just so happens that I'm done with my work. Tomorrow you will go to town with me, and when I come back, I'll take you for a walk in the village."

Chao Yan is more concerned about another matter: "When are you going out?"

This going out should be another matter, Fang Mu looked at him with a smile: "It should be only a few days."

Chaoyan blushed when he saw it. Although the candlelight was dim and he couldn't see anything else, he could understand the meaning of Fang Mu's smile. Maybe it was because of Fang Zhao's trouble last time. Since then, Fang Mu would express it from time to time His closeness.

Chao Yan had fantasies about him, so naturally she had more fantasies about him.

He pretended to be calm and nodded: "I listen to you."

"Sure, eat quickly, and wipe off the medicine after you finish eating." After Fang Mu finished speaking, he took the last mouthful of porridge in his bowl and put it into his mouth.

"Yeah." Chao Yan's voice was soft, but his heart was warm. His hand was hurt while cutting thorns two days ago. Tell Fang Mu that Fang Mu discovered the cut in his hand when the two people behind him were tying the wattle wall. At that time, Fang Mu didn't say anything. I gave him a box of ointment and asked him to remember to rub it.

Chaoyan thought at the time that if Fang Zhao's prejudice against his Mu brother would be less, he would discover the kind nature of his family Mu brother.

It's all cheap for him now.

After Chaoyan finished eating the porridge, she gave the bowl to Fang Mu, rinsed her mouth, and went to find the ointment under the pillow.

The ointment was packed in a dark porcelain bottle, and when the lid was opened, a strong herbal fragrance wafted out.

Chao Yan dug a little bit and spread it on the healed wound, and immediately felt a cooling sensation.

Fang Mu washed the dishes, and when he turned around, he saw Chaoyan sitting beside the bed applying medicine with lowered eyebrows.

He put away the dry towel for wiping his hands, walked over and sat by his bed: "Show me."

Both of them were on the bed in the same aisle, facing each other, Chaoyan handed him the medicine box without thinking.

Fang Mu avoided it, and said with a smile, "Hand."

Chao Yan blushed again, and he slowly stretched out his hand.

Fang Mu took a look at him, and then grabbed it. In all fairness, Chao Yan's hands are more suitable for appreciation and play than for work. His ten fingers are long and slender, with round fingertips and full finger pulps. This is probably the length of the flesh on his face. , hands are softer than his face.

Looking at the wound on the palm of the hand, it is actually not deep. It is indeed a common thing to accidentally injure yourself while doing farm work. Usually, people can just apply some medicine on their own, but Chao Yan not only kept silent, but also did not take it back. If he hadn't discovered it by accident, this man would have been in pain for a few more days.

The smeared ointment quickly solidified into a thin film, glowing warmly in the dim candlelight.

Fang Mu didn't let go after looking at it, and rubbed Chaoyan's wrist with his fingertips, making his skin burn.

"Brother Mu..." Chaoyan's voice trembled a little.

Fang Mu hummed, and let go of his hand: "Rest."

Chaoyan glanced at him suspiciously, feeling that there was something in Fang Mu's voice just now, but he didn't know what it was.

It was because he himself was having a hard time, the piece of skin that Fang Mu had rubbed was almost as hot as burning.

Fang Mu went to blow out the candles, and the room was suddenly plunged into darkness, only the sound of light footsteps.

Chaoyan heard the sound of footsteps stopping on the opposite side again, and then the sound of Fang Mu lying on the bed.

In the dark night, Fang Mu sensed that Chaoyan hadn't moved for a long time, and asked aloud, "Aren't you sleepy?"

Listening to his normal tone, Chao Yan suddenly realized: "Sleeping." Then she went to bed and lay down without a hitch.

Chao Yan covered his body with the quilt, and he couldn't see it clearly, but he still hid himself under it. With his other hand, he touched the wrist that Fang Mu had touched, as if he was touching Fang Mu. After a long time, He held his breath, put his wrist to his lips, and pressed a kiss lightly.

...........................

In the morning of the next day, the two of them washed up one after another as before, Chaoyan's face was calm and composed, and the guilty look of last night was completely gone.

They simply ate breakfast and went out with their things on their backs.

Chao Yan already had the key to the house, this time he locked the door.

Fang Mu was in front, and said as he walked: "There are several roads to the town. I am here today, and I will take you to Changling Mountain. If I go out later, if you want to go to the town, you can take a ride in the village." Bullock carts, one penny round trip fare."

Chao Yan obediently said hello behind her.

Fang Mu looked back at him: "You should have an impression of this road."

Chaoyan didn't know what he meant at first, but it didn't dawn until they walked to the place where he was unconscious that day.

Chapter 21 According to other people's instructions, he knew that he could reach Xishui Village by climbing this mountain. After all, when he came to Xishui Village with his parents, he rode in a bullock cart and walked on the main road, and he couldn't remember the route for a long time.

Although he fainted halfway due to lack of energy that day, he walked over by himself step by step, so he still has some memories.

The two walked to the place where he fainted at the time, Fang Mu pointed at the tree and smiled and asked Chaoyan: "You said that we will get married in the future, do you want to invite it to drink a cup of wedding wine?"

He got Chaoyan's promise by relying on Fang Zhao's trouble, and he became less and less afraid. Chaoyan didn't know if his heart was the same as his own, and occasionally had concerns, but he always stood up for him. Every word and action is heart-warming.

Sometimes Chaoyan would think to herself, forget it, I can’t let Brother Mu be like him, and if I like someone I have only known for a few days, I will treat him as coaxing myself, anyway, I like to listen to it, just like now , every time he thinks like this, he becomes bolder: "When?"

Fang Mu didn't expect him to ask back, and was stunned for a moment: "Huh?"

"Get married, when?"

"..." If it wasn't for those red ears that were about to bleed that betrayed him, Fang Mu would have been fooled by Chaoyan. He glanced at Chaoyan's left ear and decided to throw the question back to the other party. : "When do you think it's appropriate?"

This time it was Chao Yan's turn to be speechless, but not only her ears, but also her face slowly turned red.

The green trees on both sides of the mountain road stretched out their branches and wanted to pierce the sky, but only a little sunlight poured down. Chaoyan was wearing gray-green vertical brown again today, and the turquoise light and shadow under the sun fell on him, contrasting the dots. Red makes him look indescribably good-looking.

That day when Fang Mu wiped the face of this person clean, he only felt that he was pretty, but he didn't know until today that he was attracted to the person who could be seductive even if he was plain.

This section of the mountain road to Qingyuan Town would not be walked by anyone except Fang Mu, so he took a bold step forward, lowered his eyes slightly, and urged Chaoyan: "Speak up."

Chao Yan was forced to take a step back, her face was red and her mouth was hot: "What...what?"

If it was in the past, Fang Mu would be enough, but now he doesn't want to, he stares at Chaoyan's pursed lips, and says aggressively: "Get married."

Chao Yan looked him straight in the eyes, and blurted out: "Of course, the sooner the better."

Fang Mu couldn't hide the smile anymore: "Okay, it's just that I'm going out soon, and I don't have enough time. When I come back from this business trip, I'll ask someone to pick a date, and the two of us will finish the matter."

"!!!" Chao Yan didn't understand at all, they were clearly on their way to Qingyuan Town, how could they finalize the marriage.

Is it too casual?

But this did not hinder his crazy heartbeat. He felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. He could show Fang Mu his sincerity on the spot, but he felt unreal. He suspected that he was dreaming, so he raised his hand and squeezed it. My own face hurts.

Fang Mu kept looking at him with smiling eyes, watching him pinch his face foolishly, without saying anything, stretched out his hand, and took the softness that he had been thinking about all night in his hand: "Let's go, we will come back later." It's time to get hot."

Chao Yan was led obediently by him, the mountain road was rugged, the two held hands one after the other, but it was like walking on flat ground.

The two of them didn't talk about anything else during the second half of the road, only Fang Mu walked ahead, and would remind Chaoyan to be careful when seeing potholes.

The weather is hot, and the two of them are men, Chaoyan's hand is held in his palm, and it feels slippery.

But Fang Mu wouldn't let him go, and Chao Yan wouldn't let him go either.

They are holding hands!

Why didn't Fang Mu speak? Chaoyan guessed that his temperament was like this. He didn't speak because his mind was full of getting married and holding hands.

Just like the day when he realized Fang Mu called him by his nickname in front of Fang Lin.

All he thought about that night was 'Brother Mu called me Yanyan'...he kept repeating it in his mind, causing him to fall asleep half an hour later than before.

At this time, he is also wandering in the sky.

Fang Mu led Chaoyan, who was distracted, all the way to Qingyuan Town.

It's still the same way, after leaving the mountain and walking a few hundred feet, it is the gate of Qingyuan Town.

Seeing people coming and going, or vendors pushing their stalls, or farmers carrying burdens in and out of Qingyuan Town, Fang Mu introduced to Chaoyan: "Qingyuan Town has a long history, and because of the water and land connections, it has always been very popular. Bustling, every April 26th is still a market day, but it is just a coincidence that we are here this time." Because today is [-].

Seeing that he still hadn't let go, Chaoyan was nervous and wanted to show off, so she clenched her hands quietly.

Fang Mu felt it, and glanced down, thinking that his unmarried husband is really different, if it was the brother next to him, he would have thrown his hands away long ago, and would have to read Unreasonable.

But his fiancé has always been sincere.

"I usually buy things in Nanshi, let's go there for a stroll."

Chao Yan hummed.

The two went to Nanshi together.

It is impossible for two men to hold hands and walk on the street without attracting attention. Everyone will watch the excitement, not to mention that most people express their feelings in a reserved way, and very few people are like the two of them.

But it's just a glance, isn't it forbidden for the husband and wife to be affectionate?

As the trade center of Qingyuan Town, Nanshi is full of people.

Standing among the crowd, Fang Mu asked Chaoyan, "What do you want to buy?"

"Go shopping first?" Chao Yan's face was still red.

Fang Mu nodded and took him to Butcher Zhang.

Butcher Zhang was weighing pork for a guest in front of him. When he finished his work, he saw them standing together in pairs. He was very surprised and asked Fang Mu, "Is this your husband?"

Fang Mu nodded: "It's my fiance."

Butcher Zhang glanced at their holding hands, thinking that the relationship is really good, but the fiancés dare to hold hands and go out swaggeringly.

The expression on his face remained unchanged, and he asked with a smile, "When will the wine be served?"

"It will take some time, I will bring him here today to identify him." Fang Mu said, and introduced like Chao Yan: "This is Butcher Zhang, you will come here to buy meat in the future."

Chaoyan nodded to Butcher Zhang.

Butcher Zhang looked at his red face, whether it was sunburned or because of some other reason, and thought that Fang Mu had a good eye, and that his fiancé was very handsome and pleasing to the eye.

But Fang Mu himself is a handsome young man, if Butcher Zhang didn't have a suitable daughter, he would have wanted to make Fang Mu his son-in-law a long time ago.

Fang Mu said to Butcher Zhang: "It's still the same, weigh three catties of pork for me."

Butcher Zhang cut up three catties for him as he said, and wrapped it in banana leaves for him.

It was time to give the money, and the hands could no longer be held together, Chao Yan let go, and quietly wiped the sweat from the palms of his hands behind his back, before going to take out the money bag.

He didn't know how much money Fang Mu had left, and worried that it wasn't enough, so he took out the one hundred Wen that Fang Mu gave him.

Fang Mu didn't ask him to pay, and paid with the remaining seventy wen.
