husband, he picked it up [farming]

When Chaoyan came out of Fang Lin's house, she put on her straw hat again and went directly to Li Huiyuan's house.

Li Huiyuan knew that he would come, and had already prepared the eggs and waited for him.

When Chaoyan went to get it, she heard the sound of chickens and ducks coming from behind his house, and suddenly asked: "Do you have chicken or ducklings for sale?"

Li Huiyuan was stunned before he realized: "Brother Chao, do you want to raise him?"

Chao Yan nodded.

In fact, the wasteland at home will grow grass again sooner or later if there is no time to plant it. It is best to raise some chickens and ducks. They can peck grass and eat, so there is no need to raise them specially.

Kill two birds with one stone.

Li Huiyuan said: "How much do you want?"

"How to sell?"

Li Huiyuan said: "The chickens in the town are only [-] yuan, and the ducks are [-] yuan. I can give you a penny cheaper."

Chaoyan thought for a while, then asked again: "I want two of each first, is it okay?"

"Okay." Seeing that Chaoyan didn't take the chicken coop, he guessed that he had acted impromptu, and said, "I'll go and tell grandma first, just wait."

Chao Yan nodded, and he turned and ran into the house.

After a while, he came out of the house with a smile on his face: "Let's go, I'll take you to catch it."

Chaoyan followed him to the back of the house, where there was a chicken coop made of thatch and bamboo, and the bamboo supporting the wall was green, which should have been replaced by the bamboo that Li Huiyuan and Li Yeshi cut down last time.

In the chicken coop, the chickens and ducks are leisurely, big and small.

Some hugged each other, some pecked at each other, and some were eating stones on the ground.

The chicken coop was cleaned very clean, and there was a smell of herbs, which showed that it was carefully raised.

If Li Huiyuan's family can sell eggs, it is known that his family has a lot of chickens and ducks.

Zhao Yan only roughly counted them, and if they were added together, there were more than 20. There were more chickens, and among them, hens were the most, and there were only a few red-crowned roosters.

Li Huiyuan brought out a chicken coop from the corner. The dilapidated chicken coop seemed to be falling apart in an instant.

But it is not a problem to pack chicken seedlings and duck seedlings.

Li Huiyuan opened the door of the chicken coop and asked Chaoyan, "Are you coming by yourself or will I catch it for you?"

Chao Yan said: "You catch it." Li Huiyuan would not cheat him.

Li Huiyuan really doesn't know how to do it, so he specially catches it for him.

They said they were seedlings, but they were already four or five. Although Chaoyan had never been to the town, when he was still in Changyuan, he had seen people selling seedlings, and they were usually slapped with big palms, that is, Li Huiyuan's family was honest. , Don't cheat your own people.

Moreover, the ducks and chicks that Li Huiyuan caught had bright feathers and full eyes, and they were obviously healthy at first glance.

Li Huiyuan caught him well and closed the door of the chicken coop.

Only then did Chao Yan say: "I forgot to bring money when I went out, I'll bring it over later."

Li Huiyuan said: "I'll go with you, it's not convenient for you to carry eggs and chicken coops."

"Thank you."

Li Huiyuan took the chicken coop out of the coop, went back to the house and talked to Grandma Li, and then closed the door and followed Chaoyan back to the foot of the mountain.

Chaoyan couldn't bully him, so she carried the eggs for him, and went to carry the bigger chicken coop by herself.

Not heavy though.

There are five eggs in a small bamboo basket as big as two palms, and Li Huiyuan holds them in his arms and takes care of them carefully, for fear of accidentally breaking them.

Chao Yan is not easy to walk while carrying the chicken coop, but her figure is still stable.

Li Huiyuan followed him to the foot of the mountain.

The two went all the way to the foot of the mountain without a word, went up the mountain road, and entered the wasteland. Li Huiyuan looked at the wasteland that had changed drastically in just a few days and asked, "Brother Chao, you made this all?"

Chao Yan hummed.

Li Huiyuan praised: "You are really capable."

Chao Yan smiled: "It's nothing."

Li Huiyuan asked curiously again: "What are you doing to enclose the land with bamboo poles?"

Chaoyan said truthfully, "I'm going to plant some fruit trees when the time comes."

Li Huiyuan suddenly realized: "It's okay, this land is so big, it's a pity that Brother Mu Zi didn't take care of it and abandoned it."

Speaking of Fang Mu, Chao Yan was also curious about his usual appearance: "Brother Mu doesn't farm?"

"It's not that they don't plant." Li Huiyuan explained: "Brother Muzi stays at home for a short time, so he can't take care of it after planting. Although Brother Lin will help him take care of it occasionally, Brother Lin also has things at home, and there are always things that he can't take care of. At that time, no, the last time I went into the mountains, I saw his vegetables were sunburned to death."

"Then what does he usually do at home?"

Li Huiyuan shook his head: "I seldom see him. He usually doesn't go to the village. I can only meet him when I go to work here or go into the mountains."

It can't be seen that his brother Mu still doesn't like to go out.

After a few words, the two also arrived at the door of the house, Chao Yan invited him: "Go in for a cup of tea?"

Li Huiyuan still remembers that men and men are different, and it is private, so he should pay more attention to propriety, so he shook his head and handed him the basket of eggs: "I'll wait for you outside."

Chaoyan didn't force it either, he put the chicken coop in a cool place under the eaves, then took out the key to open the door and entered the house, took the eggs into his own basket, and then went to pay Li Huiyuan.

Of the one hundred Wen given by Fang Mu, it took two Wen to buy tofu, leaving 98 Wen. Today I bought chicken and duck seedlings and removed 64 Wen, leaving 34 Wen.

Chaoyan counted them, put them in the basket, and brought them to Li Huiyuan.

"You go first."

Li Huiyuan took it obediently, and ordered copper coins in the basket.

Asagao went to release the ducks and chickens.

When they arrived in a strange place, they just stayed where they were and didn't dare to move. Chaoyan knew it would be over in a few days, so she ignored them.

He closed the chicken coop door again and carried it to Li Huiyuan.

Li Huiyuan had already counted the money, put it in the purse he brought, and said to Chaoyan: "Then I'll go back, see you, Brother Chao."

Chaoyan waved to him.

Li Huiyuan left with a basket in one hand and a chicken coop in the other.

Chao Yan looked at the time, the sun was hot at this time, it was okay to cut bamboo, but he was a little tired and was going to sleep for a while.

I thought so and did the same thing, called for water to wash my hands and face, then closed the door and lay down on the bed with my clothes on for a mid-morning rest.

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

In the afternoon, Chaoyan went into the mountains to chop wood for building a shed.

In the first few days, he completed the awning and the field circle, and then he had to get the wood and thatch ready before Fang Mu came back.

However, he also remembered that Mrs. Fang Zhao would send the vegetable seedlings over later, so he watched the time, and when it was almost time for Shen Shizhong, Chaoyan carried the chopped trees home and waited for Mrs. Fang to come over.

Mrs. Fang Zhao came over at the end of Shen Shi, holding a dung dustpan in his hand, which contained the vegetable seedlings that Chaoyan wanted.

The amount is not much, but it is enough to plant two ridges of Asagao.

When Chao Yan was waiting for her, she had already sprinkled the base fertilizer and watered the ground, and was waiting for her to bring the vegetable seedlings.

Unexpectedly, there was no reluctance on Fang Zhao's face.

Seeing Chaoyan, he didn't show any face, and put the dung dustpan on the ground: "This is the vegetable seedling that your elder brother asked me to send."

She had a nice voice, and even Chaoyan couldn't show her face: "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Fang Zhao, who was told by Fang Lin not to dare to cause trouble, asked, "Do you want my help?"

Hearing this, Chaoyan couldn't help but looked up at the sun's position, and made sure that the direction it fell was the west, not the east.

Fang Zhao thought he was looking at something, followed him and raised his head, and when he saw the sun, he understood instantly. He almost couldn't pretend, and asked with a sullen face, "What do you mean?"

Chaoyan looked at her, and said truthfully: "Why don't you find fault today?" If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

"You..." Fang Zhao took a deep breath, and then exhaled: "Don't make trouble for nothing."

"..." Isn't this sentence more appropriate for her?Chao Yan said: "Are you going to get it wrong? You weren't the one who came looking for trouble last time?"

Fang Zhao felt that she couldn't hold back anymore: "Then what do you want?"

Can you bear it after all this?It seems that this time Fang Lin was indeed scolded.

If Fang Lin had done this earlier, his brother Mu wouldn't have been wronged for so many years.

But since Brother Mu also chose not to care about it, Chaoyan would let it go: "It's good that you are like this, at least I can talk to you calmly."

"Then I really thank you." Fang Zhao rolled her eyes directly.

Zhao Yan smiled: "You're welcome."

Fang Zhao felt that if she stayed any longer, she couldn't help but break her merits: "You said that you don't need to help. If your elder brother asks about it in the future, don't say I didn't mention it."

Chao Yan nodded.

Fang Zhao didn't wait for him to do anything, he took the vegetable seedlings out of the dung pan by himself, and then left with the dung pan.

Chaoyan looked at her back with swift steps, and thought that Fang Lin's attempt to improve the relationship between Fang Zhao and Fang Mu would be difficult.

But he can't hide it from Brother Mu, and talk to him when Brother Mu comes back.

As for how to get along with the relatives in this family, Chao Yan had already said, and he listened to Brother Mu.

Thinking about this is useless, Asagao started to grow vegetables.

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

Besides, on Fang Mu's side, seven people and six cars followed a tight pace and entered Suining on the evening of the sixth day out.

Along the way, they ate and slept in the open, and when they entered Suining, Song Sheng found an inn and took them in. Although they wanted a room to save money, and one room could accommodate all of them, but at least there was a bed to sleep in, and everyone would sleep in it. satisfy.

Tonight it was Fang Mu and Qiao Song's turn to watch the first half of the night.

The goods were arranged in the backyard of the inn, which was a place specially placed for guests' large belongings.

Their batch of goods is expensive, and the inn does not arrange people to guard them, so they can only rely on their own people to guard them.

Otherwise, if you lose the goods, you will really lose your wife and lose your army.

Because the vigil was in rotation, and the two were young, they looked very energetic. Of course, only they knew whether they were tired or not.

It was a long night, and the backyard of the inn was only illuminated by two lanterns on a light pole.

As the red lantern swayed with the night wind, the candlelight also swayed.

The place arranged for them to store their goods was a thatched shed with air leakage on three sides. Sitting in it, the two of them could see the crooked moon as long as they looked up.

The summer night is clear and bright, the moonlight is like water, and everything illuminated by it is sacred and quiet.

Qiao Song leaned his upper body on the thatch pile, dragged his head behind his hands, bent his left leg, and slowly swayed his right leg on his left leg, saying: "Catch up tomorrow, and you will be there before the city gate closes." Lingyang."

Fang Mu next to him was sitting upright: "Look at Brother Song's arrangements."

Qiao Song said again: "If it goes on as usual, it will take three to five days before we go back."

Fang Mu hummed.

Qiao Song turned his head and looked at his profile through the dim candlelight: "You don't want brother-in-law?"

Fang Mu said: "I want to." I really want to, I thought that the longing would fade with time, but the fact is that the longer we go, the more I want Chaoyan.

Qiao Song clicked his tongue twice: "Brother is now following you with no name or title."

Fang Mu turned to look at him: "I will make up for what is missing."

Qiao Song flopped and sat up straight like a fish: "Hey, do you understand the matter between men and men?"

Fang Mu was inexplicable: "What's the matter?"

Qiao Song raised his hands, put his two thumbs together, gestured and said, "That's it..." and winked.

Although Fang Mu really wanted to dislike his gossip, he really didn't understand: "You know?"

Qiao Song put down his hands, and lay back down again: "How can I understand, my yellow grass girl? Book store, how can there be fewer books like this in there?"

"..." Don't you understand this very well?
