husband, he picked it up [farming]

Standing under the sun, Li Huiyuan was sweating profusely on his temples due to hard work in the morning, and the broken hair on his forehead was wet and sticky to his skin. His big eyes twinkled and twinkled, making him even more pitiful to look at.

Qiao Song originally just wanted to come out to see who it was, but he didn't expect to bump into a little rabbit.

Seeing Li Huiyuan like this, Qiao Song realized that he was tall and tall, and most girls or Xiao Xiao would be involuntarily afraid when they saw him.

Li Huiyuan is a man, and he can't be Xiaoxiao, so there is only one conclusion, the other party is a brother.

There are few brothers these days, but it’s not that there are no brothers. Qiao Song has seen all kinds of things when he traveled all over the years. The timid Li Huiyuan only let him look at him once, and passed by calmly.

Fang Mu didn't know the confrontation between the two of them, so he walked out of the fence and returned the basket to Li Huiyuan: "I told Grandma, the money will be paid to her when I come back next time."

Li Huiyuan took it with lowered eyes: "I know."

Li Huiyuan was not there when they were talking yesterday, so she didn't know the content. Grandma Li was worried that he would ask Fang Mu for money, so she mentioned it to him when she was getting the eggs.

"I put a few pieces of chicken in the basket, you can eat it later." Ordinary people have few chances to eat meat, except for the New Year holidays, once in half a month is considered good, and it's not because Fang Mu is stingy to give a few pieces, but It is rare to eat meat, it is purely a tooth-beating sacrifice for Li Huiyuan.

"Ah, this..." Li Huiyuan lifted the cloth and saw a small lotus leaf bag.

"You're welcome." Fang Mu blocked his refusal with a smile.

There is no way, Li Huiyuan can only accept: "Thank you." Seeing the strange man turn around and enter the room, and his threatening gaze disappeared, he regained his relaxed tone: "Then I will go back."

Fang Mu hummed.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Chaoyan in the room called him through the window: "Huiyuan, stay for lunch?"

Li Huiyuan followed the voice and saw a tall and straight figure flashing by the window lattice. His eyes fell on Chaoyan who he had only seen once, and he dimpled from his smile: "No, thank you Brother Chao."

Chaoyan grumbled.

Li Huiyuan went back, Fang Mu also turned and went back to the house.

Chao Yan had already packed the food, and was waiting for him to sit down and start eating.

It's time to eat, Fang Mu wanted to take down the wine, but Qiao Song took the flagon to avoid his hand: "I want to have a drink with my brother-in-law."

Fang Mu could only give him the cup.

Qiao Song filled it up and handed it to Chaoyan, then raised his own glass and said to Chaoyan: "Brother, I respect you."

"We met each other by fate." After Chao Yan finished speaking, she drank it down first.

Qiao Song also raised his head and drank it clean.

The wine jar he brought is not big, and it may be more than two jugs full. In the past, Fang Mu and him could finish the drink slowly, but now there are more faces in the house, drunk and ugly, Fang Mu is still I didn't want to leave a bad impression on Chaoyan, so I only drank three or five cups since the drink started.

Everyone is a farmer, so there is no need to eat or sleep.

There was a dish of stewed meat, a dish of roast chicken, and a dish of green vegetables on the table, but they didn't stop Qiao Song's mouth.

He asked Fang Mu: "When do you plan to get married?"

Fang Mu put a piece of chicken leg meat in Chaoyan's bowl, and replied: "When I come back this time, I will ask someone to pick a date."

Qiao Song said to Chao Yan again: "Brother, Fang Mu is a good person, but he is a bit stupid. If you follow him, you must take the initiative."

Chaoyan almost choked on the rice, and turned her head to cough.

The foot under the square wooden table straightened and kicked towards Qiao Song.

Qiao Song was kicked by him, still smiling: "Don't be shy, everyone is a man."

That's right, he didn't know Chao Yan was his brother.

I also blame Fang Mu, I didn't expect to tell him.

It's just that saying it now will only make Chao Yan more embarrassed.

Fang Mu's face was paralyzed: "Shut up, eat your meal."

"It's all right, don't talk about it." He didn't talk if he didn't say anything, and concentrated on eating.

Seeing that Chaoyan was still coughing, Fang Mu poured him a glass of water, and asked with concern, "Is it hard?"

Chaoyan shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

He was immediately stimulated by Qiao Song's rambunctious words.

It's just that Qiao Song was right, the other party really understood Fang Mu, and he got to the point as soon as he said it, his brother Mu was indeed a little slow.

Qiao Song didn't know that he woke Chao Yan up with a single sentence, and he was ready to go back after lunch.

If it was the past, he might have slept here all night.

Fang Mu didn't keep him either, just those few glasses of wine would not make Qiao Song drunk.

Qiao Song rested for about a quarter of an hour before getting up to leave.

Chao Yan and Fang Mu took the washed dishes and chopsticks and sent him to the door.

It was the hottest time of the day when the sun was shining outside.

Chao Yan warned: "Be careful on the road."

Qiao Song waved his hand: "Alright, see you some other day."

Fang Mu said: "Wait for me at the same place tomorrow."

Qiao Song nodded and walked away against the sun.

The two didn't return to the house until his figure disappeared in the mountain pass.

The smell of wine and meat in the room is already very faint, and it is estimated that it will disappear in a while.

There was only half a jug of wine that Qiao Song brought, and he didn't think about taking it away, it was still on the table.

"Put it away first, next time you can drink if you want." He said, his eyes moved, and he aimed at the top of the box containing the quilt.

Chaoyan's gaze followed him all the way and then landed on the wine jar, looking at the things on the box, his eyes moved, and an idea came to his mind.

Putting the wine away, Fang Mu clapped his hands and said, "When I get back, I'll check in the caravan for old cloths, bring some back, and cover the bed."

Chao Yan said: "It's better to build a shed outside."

"But, wait until I come back and do it, sleep for a while?"

Chao Yan hummed.

Fang Mu then went to fetch water from the tub for washing his face, and wiped his hands and faces for the two of them, and then they both went to bed for an afternoon nap.

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

In the afternoon, the ground was still plowed. As for how much to plant, Fang Mu let Chao Yan make up his mind, and he could do as he saw.

Fang Mu is about to go out, so he has to tidy up his appearance.

He boiled water to wash his hair early, and it was always inconvenient to go out. This trip lasted for half a month, and he slept in the open air. Sometimes it was difficult to even take a bath, let alone wash his hair.

After Fang Mu finished washing, he asked Chao Yan to wash again: "I have to boil the water anyway, let's wash together."

Chao Yan thought of her plan, and it was really not good to tease the other party with her sweaty head, so she agreed.

After washing his hair, it was impossible to run back to dig the ground, so Fang Mu simply lit a fire to cook porridge.

I ate meat at noon, and I felt meaty in my stomach, so I just drank plain porridge to neutralize it.

Gradually, the sun set to the west, and only half of the silhouette was left hanging on the top of the mountain. The sky was full of brilliance and dense clouds.

It was a spectacular fire burning cloud evening.

The weather was fine, and the two of them who had taken a bath moved out on low stools to eat outside.

Eating outside is another mood.

The breeze is gentle, blowing the fragrance of birds and flowers, and the swaying of vegetation, all telling the gentleness of summer night.

The porridge had been cooled long ago, Fang Mu ate his fill first, put the sea bowl aside, straightened his slender legs, stretched his waist, and hummed comfortably.

Although he didn't say anything, Zhao Yan could see his comfort.

Fang Mu washes his hair first, the weather is hot now, his hair is dry long ago, Fang Mu also combed it again, looking at his meticulously groomed face, it is indeed an expression of enjoyment.

It is indeed a beautiful thing to watch the sunset after eating and drinking.

Chaoyan took the bowls he ate together to wash, and the splashing sound of pouring water came from behind. Fang Mu sat for a while and then picked up the stool and went back to the room.

There was only a little afterglow of the setting sun in the room, and the corner was completely dark, so Fang Mu went to light a candle.

"Yanyan, don't work too late when I'm not at home, go to bed early."

The candle flames ignited, the flame danced, and the shadows of the people it illuminated shook.

Fang Mu covered the fire folder and put it back beside the candlestick.

"it is good."

Chaoyan drained the water from the washed bowl, and put it upside down in the bowl basket.

He also warned: "Don't be reluctant to use the money given to you. You should eat and drink, and take care of your body."

Chaoyan still only has one good word.

Fang Mu looked at his tall back, and suddenly sighed: "It's because I can't bear you."

Zhao Yan, who was cleaning the boiler with his back turned to him, paused, but Fang Mu couldn't see clearly as the dusk was getting darker.

"I'm going to wash up. I'm going to get up early tomorrow and go to bed early tonight."

Chaoyan hummed, he looked out of the window at the setting sun that buried the silhouette a little bit, the black line in front of his eyes was getting longer and longer, and finally there was only a little light on the horizon.

He washed his hands, heard the sound of Fang Mu going out to fetch water, turned his head to look at the place where the wine was placed, thought for a while, and picked up the candlestick to look for it.

Like a thief again, he poured a glass in a hurry, and spilled a little because he was in a hurry. He put the stopper on, drank the wine in one gulp, then put the wine jar back down, and wiped the plum wine spilled on the table with a rag. wipe.

When Fang Mu came back, the sky was completely dark, the candlestick was on the table, the fire was dancing, and Chao Yan was sitting on his bed, saw him come back, and said softly: "Brother Mu, I want to sleep with you."

Fang Mu's eyebrows twitched, he was keenly aware of a familiar smell in the room, but it was too faint, and the wind outside the window seemed to be an illusion.

But he didn't think too much about it, he just thought that Chaoyan couldn't bear him either: "Okay."

After the first step was successful, Chao Yan secretly let out a sigh of relief: "You wait for me, I'll go wash up."

"..." Fang Mu hummed.

Chao Yan walked from the other side of the table to the outside, because the footsteps were too fast, it brought a gust of wind, and the smell was still familiar, but the smell of dry tea was stronger. Smell clearly.

Fang Mu was puzzled, but he still sat by the bed and waited according to Chao Yan's instructions.

And because she was bored, she brought Chaoyan's pillow and quilt first.

Chaoyan cleaned herself up as quickly as possible, her heart was racing, but her face was calm and watertight, she locked the door, closed the window, and walked to Fang Mu's bed.

Fang Mu didn't realize anything yet: "You sleep inside."

But Chao Yan said: "You sleep inside." In case the plan fails, he can escape back to his bed as quickly as possible to hide.

Fang Mu raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.

The candlelight was yellowish, hitting Chao Yan's delicate face, as if covering him with a layer of warm light, as shiny as jade.

Fang Mu's heart skipped a beat, and he obediently lay down inside.

Chaoyan went to blow out the candles, and then came back to lie down.

The sight was dark, only the rustling sound beside him, Fang Mu was lying quietly, suddenly a hand was placed across his chest, Fang Mu was taken aback: "Yan Yan?"

Chaoyan moved towards him slowly at a turtle's speed, and finally just put her face next to Fang Mu's shoulder: "I think Brother Qiao is right, we should get closer."

His voice came from the side of his buried shoulder, the buzzing was not clear, but it was full of righteousness.

Fang Mu couldn't help laughing: "I thought you were thinking of something."

Don't blame Zhao Yan, as I said before, his courage is a step by step, and no one taught him how to get close to the person he likes before. When his parents were alive, they did the most outrageous things in front of him , It's just that his father secretly kissed his mother's face, so Chaoyan can't learn from it, and she still moves with her heart as it is now.

Chao Yan rubbed her face on Fang Mu's shoulder and said nothing.

Fang Mu smiled silently, turned sideways, and Chao Yan's arm on his chest fell to his waist.

Fang Mu sighed and said, "It's too early for you to blow the lamp."

"Ok?"

"I can't even look at you now."

As soon as Chao Yan heard this, she was about to get up to re-light it, Fang Mu stretched out a hand and directly pressed his waist.

Chaoyan's body softened, and she fell back again.

Fang Mu took advantage of the situation and hugged him, and now the two of them were chest to chest, Fang Mu asked him in a low voice, "What happened after you hugged him?"

The pure Chaoyan was dumbfounded: "I..."

"I'll teach you, do you want to learn?"

His breath sprayed on the wings of his nose, Chao Yan felt the same difference from that night again in a trance, but he still didn't understand: "I learned it."

Fang Mu's voice was low: "Open your mouth."

Chaoyan opened his mouth hesitantly. He first felt Fang Mu's nose brushed across his cheek, and then his lips were wet, and something soft fell on his lips.

He was taken aback for a moment, and then he realized it later. It was too late to make a sound, and Fang Mu's kisses followed one after another.

Fang Mu doesn't know his relatives, he first rampages in the mouth that smells of plum wine, and then accidentally touches Zhao Yan's tongue, which has nowhere to rest, and he sucks the tip of his tongue without a teacher and messes around.

Chaoyan's breath was taken away, and her mouth was stuffed to the brim, so she could only whimper for a moment.

.........

Fang Mu's arms around his waist gradually moved to his back, and his big hands fell on both sides of the depression, caressing gently.

Chaoyan gasped for breath, and the plum blossoms were all in her breath.

Fang Mu laughed softly, "You still have to drink to strengthen your courage even if you hug me?"

When it comes to Chaoyan, he feels aggrieved, but he will be dizzy now: "I'm afraid you don't like it."

"like."

"But last time you..."

Fang Mu came to his senses: "Then you are afraid, if I do something to you, it will make me look like a beast."

Chao Yan was stunned, he didn't expect Fang Mu to think so.

"Brother Mu..." His voice was soft, like a ball of dough that can be kneaded at will.

Fang Mu's throat rolled: "Don't blow the lamp next time."

"I'll go order it."

Fang Mu pinched his waist, and his voice was as deep as the dark night now: "Do you still want it?"

Chaoyan shook her head, but remembered that he couldn't see, so she hurriedly said, "Take a break."

It means that I still want to kiss, but not now.

Fang Mu couldn't help laughing, he fell on Chao Yan with a smile.

The two of them had legs to legs, chest to chest, arms to arms, and even breathing was within easy reach.

Chaoyan felt the tremor in his chest, and the courage magnified by the night made him say: "You are too fierce."

Fang Mu hummed: "It's my first time too." He leaned forward again, and pressed his straight nose against Chao Yan's cheek: "Yan Yan, I have to leave at Mao tomorrow, and it will be too late if I don't sleep .”

The tip of Chaoyan's tongue still hurts, but the desire to get close to him occupies all her reason: "Then take it easy."

Then Fang Mu kissed him softly.

Because it was so comfortable, Chaoyan didn't know how she fell asleep in the end.

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

Maoshi is the sunrise.

But Fang Mu had to do other things, so he had to get up in Yin Shizhong.

At this time, it was the time when night and day alternated, but the room was still pitch-black, and it was impossible to see any changes.

Fang Mu woke up first, he felt his arms were heavy, and Chao Yan was sleeping soundly on his pillow.

He remembered Chaoyan complaining before going to bed, he really thought that way at that time, he had long wanted to get close to this person, but Chaoyan didn't reveal it at that time, although he always said "you like me earlier" This sentence was on his lips, but he didn't know if he was willing to go further. Fang Mu originally wanted to wait and find a suitable time, but he didn't expect Chao Yan to bump into him head-on.

It's just that he didn't expect Chaoyan to know nothing.

But he didn't know much, even the kiss was only known when he saw bold men and women hugging each other when he followed his brother to Goulan to listen to the music.

He is only a little bit more than Chaoyan.

Although he couldn't see anything, Fang Mu still put his eyes on Chaoyan's position. Chaoyan was facing him, breathing all over his neck, which was itchy, but Fang Mu was reluctant to wake him up. He raised his hand and touched it. Chaoyan pressed a kiss on her warm cheek before carefully getting up.

Pulling out her sore arm, she stuffed a pillow under Chaoyan's head, and got out of bed over him.

I tiptoed to open the window, and a little light shone along the window lattice.

The summer morning was slightly cool, and the mountain wind blew along the treetops and grass tails, and fell on Fang Mu's face, making him sober again.

He looked up at the distant sky.

In Yinshi, a few stars can still be seen, but the moon is not in this direction, so it is impossible to see it.

Fang Mu opened the window for ventilation, turned back and lit the candle, and began to pack his luggage.

It was supposed to be cleaned up yesterday, but he forgot it for a while, and when Chao Yan came out again at night, he was even more distracted.

Even though the movement was light, Asagao was woken up.

He opened his sleepy eyes, stood up and looked at Fang Mu who was rummaging through boxes and boxes: "Brother Mu?"

Fang Mu gently closed the door of the box, and looked back at him: "It's still early, you can sleep later."

Seeing him packing his clothes, Chaoyan came to his senses in an instant: "Are you leaving?"

"Almost, I have to go to the town to meet Qiao Song first." Fang Mu only packed three sets of clothes for a change of clothes, and the rest of the things are in the county, so he can just pretend to leave together when the time comes.

Chaoyan got up quickly: "I'll get you something to eat." He got off to put on his shoes.

Fang Mu came over to stop him: "No, Qiao Song will make preparations, you sleep for a while, and then get up and get some food for yourself before working."

Chaoyan looked up at him.

The hair that was still in good shape before going to bed has been loosened after a night. When he raised his head, the messy hair fell on the front and back of the shoulders.

Fang Mu lowered his head and met his moist eyes.

Chao Yan had just woken up, her eyes were still sleepy, wet, and her heart softened.

Fang Mu couldn't help but kissed his forehead: "Don't want to sleep anymore?"

Chaoyan swallowed, her Adam's apple rolled, and she couldn't help but raised her hand to grab the front of his chest: "Well, I want to see you more."

He is so clingy, Fang Mu not only doesn't find it annoying, but also likes him: "That's more to see, after all, we can't see each other for half a month."

Chaoyan said nothing, stretched her neck to kiss him.

He had just experienced the beauty of intimacy when his sweetheart was about to leave home to make a living, and the reluctance at this moment made him want to become a pendant so that he could hang it on Fang Mu's body at any time.

Fang Mu bent down even more, so that Chaoyan could kiss him more easily, and his hands also turned into circles around Chaoyan's back, allowing the two to get closer.

For a moment, there was only a soft whimpering sound in the room...

Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, Fang Mu hastily moved his lips away and moved his body away from Chaoyan: "Okay, I have to go wash up."

Chao Yan felt a little uncomfortable, afraid that Fang Mu would see it, so she hummed.

Fang Mu let go of him, turned around and walked towards the door.

Chaoyan lowered her eyes and looked at her uncomfortable place, but she couldn't understand the reason, so she could only cover herself with the quilt in embarrassment.

Fang Mu opened the door, and the morning cool breeze poured in. He was the first to bear the brunt. His face was finally comfortable after being blown by the wind, and he went back to the house, took a toothbrush, towel and wooden basin to wash in the puddle.

The cold water was poured on the face, and finally the dry fire in the body was relieved.

Fang Mu dawdled outside for about a quarter of an hour before going in. Chaoyan was still sitting on the bed when he entered the room, his posture had not changed, but there was an extra sheet on his lap.

He understood something, but now is not the time to do this, so he went to put away the toothbrush and towel first, filled half a pot of cold white boiled by himself, and then carried it to Chaoyan: "Drink some water."

Chaoyan didn't dare to look at him, she felt uncomfortable when she saw him, so she could only avoid his gaze: "Do I have to go?"

Fang Mu hummed: "Don't worry, I'll be back in half a month."

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home, be careful."

"Well, you too, remember what I said, go to elder brother if you need something."

"Brother Mu..." Chaoyan still couldn't help but look at him.

Fang Mu lowered his head and whispered something in his ear, and then saw that his face, which was originally only light red, immediately turned red, and the red became more and more, going straight down to the neck.

Fang Mu laughed, raised his hand to touch his hot face: "I'm leaving."

Chao Yan nodded with a blushing face.

Fang Mu went to get the burden, put on cloth shoes, lit a lantern and set off.

Chaoyan endured it, but in the end she couldn't, and got up to see him off.

It was not yet dawn outside, but the light and shadow could already be seen, Fang Mu walked a certain distance, turned his head, and Chao Yan was still following behind.

He couldn't help laughing: "You might as well go with me."

Chao Yan blurted out and asked, "Is it okay?"

Fang Mu was helpless: "Go back quickly."

Chao Yan could only stop.

Fang Mu waved at him, fearing that he didn't want to leave either, so he quickened his pace.

Chao Yan waited until she could no longer see the yellow color before returning to the house reluctantly.

He looked at the room where only his own was left, and sighed, Brother Mu had just left, and he started to miss him.

...........

The mountain road in the early morning is not easy to walk. It is not yet dawn, the sight is blocked, and the surroundings are even darker. Fortunately, the occasional bird song will break the silence.

Fangmu has been walking this road for several years, and he has long been familiar with it, and he doesn't feel afraid. He walks like flying with paper lanterns.

It seemed that the darkness hadn't affected him in the slightest.

After a stick of incense, Fang Mu's figure walked out of the mountain pass in front of Qingyuan Town, and after walking a certain distance, when he reached the gate of the town, he saw a bullock cart parked next to him in the direction of the county.

There were two people squatting next to it.

At this time, the sky was already bright and the sun was dim, so Fang Mu recognized Brother Qiao Song at a glance.

Qiao Song has been paying attention to his direction, so as soon as he appeared, Qiao Song also saw him.

Patting the shoulder of the elder brother next to him, the two stood up.

Fang Mu walked over with the lantern in hand, and blew out the candles when he got close.

He greeted Qiao Song's elder brother Qiao Bai.

Qiaobo is the same age as him, so there is no need to compete for size, and he is called by his first and last name directly.

"Get in the car."

Qiaobo's voice is warm and moist, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, refreshing.

Fang Mu and Qiao Song got into the bullock cart.

Qiao Song stuffed the vegetable buns he brought from home into Fang Mu's hand.

Vegetable buns wrapped in banana leaves, still warm.

"Thank you."

Qiao Song waved his hands listlessly.

Fang Mu pushed aside the banana leaves, and the aroma of noodles diffused. He looked at the three steamed buns in his hand in the morning light. They were big and round, very cute.

He began to eat in big mouthfuls.

Qiao Song had already eaten, his parents were still alive, knowing that he was going out today, they woke up early to prepare meals, and prepared Fangmu's as well.

Qiao Song's parents didn't really approve of him going into business, especially when they knew that he almost had an accident.

But Qiao Song liked it, and they couldn't resist it, so they had to let him go.

Knowing that it was Fang Mu who rescued Qiao Song, he specially asked Qiao Song to bring people to the house for dinner. He also knew a little about Fang Mu's family affairs, and usually took care of him.

Fang Mu killed a steamed stuffed bun in three or two bites. He took out the water bag, unplugged it, drank some water to moisten his throat, and continued to eat the rest.

Qiao Song yawned aside.

Hit him and lay down.

The ox cart belonged to Qiao Song's own family. Apart from plowing the land on weekdays, he occasionally had to pick up and drop off the little master, and by the way, bring Fang Fangmu.

Every time they went back to the county, Qiao's family would send them off.

Sometimes it's Qiaobo, sometimes it's Joe's father.

Qiao Song didn't wake up, and fell asleep as soon as he got on the bullock cart.

They walked on a large road, which was spacious and stable. Although the ox cart was slow, it was not wobbly. It was normal for Qiao Song to fall asleep.

Fang Mu didn't sleep, and he was too embarrassed to sleep. Qiaobo came to see them off so early, and it would be unreasonable if they all fell asleep.

Treat people like coachmen.

After eating the buns, he focused on the scenery beside the road.

Although this meeting can only see the outline, the other beauty is not appreciated at all.

Although he and Qiaobo have known each other for many years, their friendship only stops at the point of acquaintance, and the other party will be polite to him only because of Qiao Song's relationship.

As the ox cart was walking, Qiaobo, who was driving in front, suddenly said, "Xiao Song came back yesterday and said that you have found a husband. He is very happy, and I am here to congratulate you."

Fang Mu glanced at Qiao Song, who was sleeping like a pig, and thanked Qiao Bo: "Come to my house for a wedding drink."

"It must be." Qiaobo said slowly: "Xiaosong was probably unhappy when my mother read a few words, please help me watch him more these days."

Fang Mu looked at Qiao Song who was sleeping like a pig again, and thought that this young man was tall and tall, and he would always be a child in the eyes of his family: "He can distinguish the serious from the serious, don't worry."

"Thank you."

Fang Mu stopped talking.

For a while, there was only the creaking sound of the wheels turning.

The bullock cart ran slowly towards the county seat.

The distance from Qingyuan Town to the county seat takes about an hour if you walk, but it takes less than half an hour if you take a bullock cart.

As the sky became brighter, the city walls of Pingnan County also appeared in front of my eyes.

At this time, the county town had already opened the market, and there were small stalls on both sides of the street, selling lettuce, fish, and mountain products, and there were constant shouts.

There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and the ox cart also drove into a street and stopped in front of a courtyard in a certain alley.

This is an independent secondary courtyard, which is the location of their caravan.

Qiaobo parked the cart and called Qiao Song, "Xiao Song, we're here."

Qiao Song didn't wake up until he yelled a few times. It was difficult to get up on the bullock cart, so Fang Mu helped him up.

Then I went to get the burden.

Qiao Song got off the bullock cart and said to Qiao Bo, "Slow down when you go back."

Qiaobo nodded: "You should also be careful in everything."

Qiao Song hummed and waved to him.

Qiaobo nodded to Fangmu again, then turned around and left.

After watching him leave, Fang Mu and his wife went to knock on the door and enter.

Their caravan has a large number of people. Apart from Fang Mu's team, there are two other small teams. In addition to storing goods in this yard, there are only a few stewards and miscellaneous servants living here, because most of the caravan members are from the county. , I usually leave home for half a month, and when I finally come back, I must go home to live.

Moreover, the time of the other two teams' business trips did not coincide with theirs. They were separated at the beginning of the month, the middle and the end of the month, and they seldom met each other.

No, they ran into members of their own team in the yard as soon as they entered, old abacus.

Old Abacus is not actually called Old Abacus, he is in charge of the accounts in their team, usually with pen and paper and the abacus are always with him.

Adding an old man is because he is an old man in the caravan with a long history, which is a respectful title.

Old Abacus is one of the very few who live here. When we met, he was sleepy and obviously just woke up.

The team is full of men, and the old abacus is not afraid of embarrassment. His clothes are loose and loose, and the neckline is spread out, showing a little color. He is pulling his shoes, and his hair is tilted.

In fact, Lao Abacus is not old, but at 35, when Fang Mu first met him, he was still a handsome young man, but somehow he was stimulated, and he grew a beard within a year.

Now they are all dirty uncles.

Seeing the two of them, Old Abacus scratched his head and greeted them: "Here we are."

Qiao Song smiled and said, "We're about to leave, are you still awake?"

The old abacus snorted to express his disdain: "How many years have you been in this business, are you still in a hurry?"

Then he was kicked by the person who came out from the back wing: "Hurry up and wash up."

Seeing him, Fang Mu and Qiao Song straightened their backs.

The person who came was their main job, that is, the team leader Song Sheng.

As far as Song Sheng is concerned, he is really capable and proficient in everything, such as martial arts, medicine, arithmetic, and business negotiation. In short, Song Sheng has everything they know.

Although he looks ugly, his mighty aura is still impressive.

The old abacus who was still arrogant just now didn't dare to be arrogant when he saw him, and ran away in desperation.

Song Sheng was not even as tall as Fang Mu, but he completely overwhelmed the two of them in terms of momentum: "You two also go to get ready and set off on time at Chenshi."

"Of course." Qiao Song and Fang Mu said in unison.

After speaking, the two went to another room.

There are things they store here, such as coir raincoats.

Because it needs to be used, they have to carry it every time they go out, so they simply put it here and pack it up when they go out.

Get everything ready, and at the time of Chen Shi, a stick of incense is short, there is a sound of gongs in the yard.

Song Sheng shouted outside: "Assemble."

Fang Mu and Qiao Song hurriedly picked up their things and went out.

In the yard, the old abacus was packed away and there was another partner. The remaining two were filled in this time. Although they also worked together, they were not very familiar with each other.

The five of them are regular members of the team, and they are already familiar with each other and full of tacit understanding.

Holding the gong, Song Sheng saw that everyone had come out, so he said: "This time there are four carts of cloth and two carts of medicinal materials. It is a big order. You have traveled from Suining to Lingyang many times. I don't need to repeat the key points , Be sure to keep your spirits up on the road, and be careful in everything, I can tell you, if this trip goes well, one tael of silver is indispensable."

Fang Mu looked at Song Sheng, this boss is more powerful than the average person even if he is talkative, and he pays equal attention to kindness and power. If you want to talk about business, what is the best way to win people's hearts?That's nothing more than money, and that's what they came for. When the former leader brought them into the caravan, they thought they could make money. They were the ones who could earn a tael and definitely didn't think about seven or eight hundred dollars.

Everyone straightened their backs and responded in unison: "Yes."

Song Sheng knocked on the gong again: "Load the car."

Six ox carts were waiting at the back door, and several of them, including Lao Suan, had to roll up their sleeves to help carry the goods onto the cart.

Moving goods is not tiring, but it requires strength, so most of the people who do this are young and middle-aged.

The caravan will not accept the elderly and children, unless the other party impresses the principals.

It took a man to move the things and tied them with hemp ropes, then everyone took their things and drove off.

There are six cars and seven people. Except for the principal and old abacus in front, the other five people are driving a car alone.

As for why Song Sheng and Lao Suan went ahead?

Those two have to lead the way.

Fang Mu and Qiao Song were at the end, and they had to keep an eye on the back.

The other three looked around and paid attention to the situation.

In short, everyone has a job to do.

Going into business is not that simple.

The bullock cart drove out of the streets of the county town and entered the official road.

There are two deep ruts on the yellow mud road, and the bullock carts pass by, and the scenery on both sides is slowly receding.

Fang Mu withdrew his gaze from the back, but did not see anyone following him for the time being.

But you still need to pay more attention later, if you slack off, it will be a big deal of losing money and life.

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

Besides Chao Yan, after Fang Mu left, he couldn't fall asleep either, thinking of what Fang Mu whispered in his ear before going out, he felt ashamed, and couldn't bear to do such a thing, so he had to find something to distract himself .

It's been half a month since Fang Mu left, Chao Yan planned to wash his sheets and dry them in the sun, but it happened that his clothes hadn't been washed yet, so we could go together.

After washing clothes and sheets, it was already dawn.

He hung the clothes to dry and went back to the house to make breakfast.

There are not many sweet potatoes and taro left at home, but he can still survive this half a month by himself.

But thinking of Fang Mu's warning to him not to worry about it, he didn't dare to disobey, cook as much as he can eat, and never dare to treat himself harshly.

While steaming the sweet potatoes, Chaoyan cleaned the room again.

Sweep away the dust and new cobwebs, and the house is much cleaner and tidy.

After doing so many things, all desires are gone.

Then he leaned against the door frame, while peeling the sweet potatoes, while looking at the wasteland outside.

He originally told Fang Mu that planning the wasteland was not because of enthusiasm, but because he really had an idea.

Such a large piece of land is really too wasteful not to use it to grow food.

Chaoyan put the peeled sweet potato into her mouth, and before she bit it, she felt a tingling pain on the tip of her damaged tongue.

He pushed the tip of his tongue against the top of his teeth, remembering that Fang Mu accidentally bit him last night.

It hurts... and I miss Brother Mu very much.

Looking at Yun Shu Yunjuan in the sky, Chaoyan felt a bit like a resentful woman.

He could only think of something else.

Like what to do next.

First of all, he has to cut thatch and chop wood. He needs to build a shed to protect the vegetable seedlings from the rain, and a shed to entertain guests.

He also needs to prepare bamboo poles. He has to divide the land first.

Where to grow vegetables and where to grow other things have to be estimated first.

The first thing to do is to cut the thatch first, and build a shed for the vegetable seedlings. If it rains again, the vegetable seedlings will be hopeless.

That would be a waste of his and Brother Mu's hard work.

Go ahead and eat the sweet potatoes with the tip of her tongue. After filling her stomach, Chao Yan took a sickle, put on a straw hat, and locked the door to cut thatch.

The last time they built thatched huts, there was still that piece of land, so there was no need to look for it, and Chaoyan went along that road.

Because it was at the foot of the mountain, I didn't meet any villagers, so I didn't have to say hello, and Chao Yan was also very happy.

Once in the field, Chao Yan began to mow
