husband, he picked it up [farming]

Wang's Bank is the largest bank in Pingnan County. It is located in the most prosperous south of the county, surrounded by heavy traffic and extending in all directions.

Because of its high reputation, the custody fee is five percent less than other banks and consistent money, so Fang Mu deposits his silver there.

Fang Mu withdrew ten taels based on the bills given by the bank, and he needed to pay 290 five Wen storage fees.

Fortunately, Fang Mu saved some change, which was enough for him to deduct.

Chaoyan was very distressed after deducting so much money, although he also understood that his brother Mu was on the go all year round, and it was impossible to carry dozens of taels with him or keep all the silver at home. That's the best choice, but it's 290 five coins. If it weren't for the fear of being beaten, Chaoyan would want to yell for money.

After withdrawing the money, Fang Mu changed the note in his hand to a note with 20 taels. He collected the silver and the note, and then walked out of the bank with Chaoyan.

Stepping down the stairs, Fang Mu asked him, "Should we go back directly or take a walk outside?"

Zhao Yan thought that Qiao Song was still waiting in the caravan, and Brother Song and the others didn't know when they would finish their work. They would be waiting for them now that the house was finished, and they were still wandering around. This is really rude: "Mr. Go back and visit again next time."

Fang Mu hummed.

The two went back to the caravan and went directly to the conference hall. Qiao Song was sitting on the chair bored. He might have been the only one before.

"done?"

The style of the meeting hall is serious, and the furnishings are still serious. In the past, when they were discussing here, Qiao Song's back was straighter than anyone else, but now it is due to Song Sheng's absence.

Fang Mu asked Chao Yan to sit with him, and they were opposite Qiao Song.

He took off the bundle of silver and put it on the table, and replied, "How long will it take to get the money?" It was not as long as the two walked over.

Qiao Song raised his head and looked outside, only to make sure that he would not appear in a short time, he turned back again.

It's just that he was tilted for a while, and footsteps came from the corridor outside the door, and Qiao Song hurriedly sat down.

After a while, Song Sheng and Lao Suan came out from the side.

Song Sheng stood still at the door and called the three of them, "Go eat."

The three got up one after another, and Fang Mu put the burden on his body again.

Song Sheng took them to a restaurant a few streets away from the caravan. Fang Mu and Qiao Song had visited this place several times.

Five people could sit in the hall, but Song Sheng was so rich that he booked a wing room on the second floor.

After taking their seats one by one, Song Sheng first asked Chaoyan: "Brother-in-law, order what you want directly."

The buddy also went on the road, and immediately reported the names of several dishes.

After all, it was Song Sheng's treat, so Chaoyan didn't dare to be rude, so she only ordered a dish of steamed sea bass.

Song Sheng saw through his restraint, but he didn't point it out. He added a few more items to his menu, and finally asked everyone: "Have a drink?"

Both Lao Abacus and Qiao Song agreed.

Fang Mu asked Chaoyan, "Can you drive a car?"

Chao Yan hummed.

Fang Mu said, "Then I'll drink some wine."

He also cared about his own feelings in front of outsiders, Chaoyan was undoubtedly moved, so she nodded.

Only then did Fang Mu agree.

Seeing the whole process, the old abacus tutted and said, "Monk Fang, are you getting married before you get married?"

Fang Mu shook Chaoyan's hand under the table, and said to the old abacus, "I am willing."

Seeing that he couldn't please him, the old abacus turned to Qiao Song who was pouring tea: "Xiao Song, you are the only one of us who is not married now."

"..." Who did he provoke?Qiao Song put the teacup in front of him, and said firmly, "I'm waiting for your daughter to grow up."

"Hey, you are a toad who wants to eat swan meat."

Song Sheng corrected: "That's at most an old cow eating young grass."

Fang Mu and Chaoyan couldn't help laughing.

Old Abacus pointed to Qiao Song and said, "I regard you as my brother, but you want to be my son-in-law."

"..." As if he was a head shorter than him no matter what, Qiao Song couldn't talk to them, so he just shut up.

Fang Mu was concerned about Chaoyan's plan to plant fruit trees, and said to Song Sheng, "Brother Song, I have something to ask you."

Song Sheng put down his teacup and motioned him to speak directly with his eyes.

Fang Mu said: "You know a lot of people and have a wide range of ways. Can you ask me who has longan or lychee trees?"

The old abacus smiled and asked, "Are you planning to quit the caravan and plant fruit trees?"

At this time, they must not be silent anymore, lest they really misunderstand that Fang Mucheng wanted to leave the team, and said to Yan: "I want to grow."

Song Sheng was naturally happy to see the family harmony of the brothers, so he agreed, "Let me ask for you."

Chaoyan toasted him with tea instead of wine: "Thank you Brother Song."

Song Sheng accepted his respect.

The old abacus said to Fang Mu with emotion: "It's not bad to find a brother, he can still help you take care of your family."

Fang Mu and Chaoyan heard this sentence without any problem, but Qiao Song was different.

He paused, and asked in disbelief, "Isn't brother-in-law a man?"

"..." This fool, Fang Mu said helplessly, "Yanyan is my brother."

"So you just watched me make a fool of myself..." Qiao Song gritted his teeth.

Chao Yan complained for Fang Mu: "You didn't ask us."

"..." Just bully him bachelor.

But it's good to clarify the misunderstanding, Qiao Song doesn't really blame Fang Mu for hiding him, no matter what Chao Yan's identity is, it can't change the fact that he is a brother-in-law.

Since the three of them had to rush back to Qingyuan Town, Song Sheng didn't dare to let them drink too much, so he just ordered a jug of wine and gave up after drinking.

A few people wanted to taste it, and Fang Mu didn't want to get too drunk and get in the way of his work.

After everyone finished eating, Fang Mu planned to go back. He still had to buy a bed, and he also invited Fang Lin's family to have dinner, so as not to delay the time.

Song Sheng invited this meal because of Chao Yan, and now everyone is obviously happy, and it ended happily.

The five separated at the door, Song Sheng and Lao Suan went back to the caravan to continue talking, and Qiao Song went to lead the ox cart.

He drank a few glasses of wine but he didn't get over it, but Fang Mu was still afraid that he would drive the ox cart into the pit, so he let him rest and change his face.

Alright, drink instead of driving, Qiao Song handed the rope to Chao Yan, and sat in the back by himself.

Chao Yan still remembered how the road was taken, and the bullock cart rolled forward under his driving.

It will be already noon, and there is no shelter from houses or trees, and the sun is shining directly on the body, which is hot.

Both Fang Mu and Qiao Song felt hot after drinking, so they couldn't resist covering their heads with their sleeves.

After finally reaching Qingyuan Town, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

When they arrived in the south of the town, Fang Mu and Qiao Song separated. They went to buy a bed, and Qiao Song went home.

When he arrived at the carpenter's workshop, Fang Mu asked the master if he had any ready-made beds.

The old master in his forties said: "There is only a bamboo couch. If you want a wooden bed, you have to customize it."

"How long is customization?"

The master craftsman explained: "The construction period is long, and it still needs to be painted, at least half a month."

It is definitely too late, the two can only go to other places to have a look.

After searching all over the place, I finally found an arhat bed.

The styles of Luohan beds are all the same, it's just a matter of size.

The master said: "This is also the marriage bed that the customer ordered for himself." The customer ordered two months in advance, which is one month before the delivery date, which is enough for them to make another bed, so the master dared to resell it.

Fang Mu looked at the size, and it was still more than enough to sleep the two of them, and he thought that the guest would not be short of money.

"how much is it?"

The master is also a real person: "The customer spent two taels to order it, and you can just give me the original price."

Things like beds have a long service life, and it is generally not a problem to use them for more than ten years. Two taels are really not expensive, and besides, they are in a hurry to use them.

"Deliverable?"

The master nodded: "Yes, where do you live?"

Fang Mu said: "My name is Fang Mu, and I live at the foot of Changling Mountain in Xishui Village. If you come from Xishui Village, you can find out if you ask."

The master said: "Okay, I will send it to you in a while."

"Success, I'll pay you one or two first, and the remaining one or two will be paid when the goods arrive."

The master agreed.

Fang Mu gave one or two deposits first.

After solving the problem of the bed, the two of them can breathe a sigh of relief for a while.

The two most important things at present, the bed and the new clothes, have been settled, and they can wait for 29 while they are busy.

After coming out of the shop, the two went to buy vegetables. Naturally, they couldn't be stingy if they wanted to invite Fang Lin's family to dinner. Fang Mu bought an old duck, two catties of pork, a roast chicken, and a fish.

The fish was fresh and alive, just not sure if it would make it home.

This time it took another 100 more texts to go out.

Adding the wages for tailoring in the morning, half of Fang Mu's original tael of silver was removed.

Money is really not spent.

But even so, he still remembered to buy a bunch of candied haws for Chao Yan.

Then he gave Chaoyan the remaining few hundred taels along with the purse, and said, "Didn't you say you want to buy some more chickens and ducklings? You take the money and use it for daily expenses. As for the 20 taels, I plan to Save it for urgent use in the future, and I will give you the family expenses in the future when I come back from the business."

Chaoyan watched him spend the money, not to mention Fang Mu, he felt sorry for himself, his brother Mu had worked so hard for so many years to save so little money, and he would have to spend less than half of it this time to get married, he felt sorry for Fang Mu It is not easy to earn money, and he said, "I can earn it too."

Fang Mu never doubted this. When Chaoyan was in Changyuan, she still cared about her parents. It was only after she came to Xishui Village that she was imprisoned in this place: "I have wronged you by letting you stay at home. If you want to Whatever you do, I will support you."

Chaoyan nodded. He is married to Fang Mu now as an elder brother, but he is still a self-reliant person in his bones. Fang Mu didn't ask him to spend his days only around the stove and the field. Chaoyan is very pleased , he is Brother Aimu, but he doesn't want to just cook and have children in his life.

Fang Mu smiled and said softly, "Go home."

Chaoyan hummed, and walked home side by side with him.

...........

When the two arrived home, the fish in Fang Mu's hand was already dying.

After opening the door, Chaoyan put the things in her hands aside first, and hurriedly took out the wooden basin to catch the water and put the fish in, but doing so was only delaying its death.

Seeing this, Fang Mu said, "Don't worry about it, let's boil the water and kill the duck."

It took a long time to process the ducks, and now that the time has passed, I can indeed prepare dinner.

Chaoyan hummed, wiped off the water on her hands, and went into the house to light a fire.

Taking advantage of the gap, Chaoyan also removed the bed board and swept the floor, waiting for someone to bring the bed.

It didn't take long, less than half an hour, the master of the carpenter's workshop brought his apprentice to deliver the goods.

Fang Mu and Chaoyan didn't want outsiders to enter that private place, so they asked the master to unload the bed outside, and Fang Mu paid the remaining one or two. After the master left, the two of them worked together to move the bed in.

Chaoyan is born with supernatural powers, so moving things is really not a problem for him.

With the new bed in place, the house will feel even more homely.

The two continued to work, and after a quarter of an hour after Youshi, Fang Lin arrived with his wife and children.

Fang Lin held Fang Yun's sister and brother by his left and right hands respectively, and Fang Zhao followed behind him, carrying a bamboo basket in his hand.

As soon as I approached the house, I found this extra thatched shed. Under the thatched shed, there was a square table with tea, which was obviously used for entertaining guests.

Fang Lin let go of his children's hands, smelled the old duck soup wafting in the air, and thought that his brother's meal was not easy.

Fang Yun and Fang Shu couldn't help saying, "Dad, it smells so good."

Chao Yan, who had seen their silhouettes earlier, came out of the room and greeted, "Sit here, big brother and sister-in-law."

Fang Lin asked with a smile, "What is cooking so delicious?"

Chaoyan picked up the teapot and poured water for them: "It's hard to invite you to come to eat at home. Brother Mu went to buy some meat and it's stewing in the pot."

Fang Lin said: "Then we will not be polite."

Chao Yan said: "What is the family saying these words for?"

He is so decent, which makes Fang Zhao feel like a comparison, she can't compare with atmosphere, but she can still be more sensible: "I just picked this green vegetable from the field, it is fresh, I washed it for a while and fried it. "

Chaoyan smiled and said, "I'm sorry, sister-in-law."

If you say what you say, you can't go back on your word and get fat. Fang Zhao bites the bullet and goes into the house to get the basket. Fang Mu is watching the fire in front of the stove. Fang Zhao will definitely meet him head-on if he wants to get the basket.

It's okay to face Zhao Yan, after all, Fang Zhao has no original malice towards him.

But Fang Mu is different, all her prejudices are concentrated on this person, even if she was beaten by Fang Lin, she has given up fighting, and she will still be embarrassed when she sees Fang Mu again: "Second brother, I wash vegetables in a basket .”

Fang Mu didn't speak, just picked up the basket at hand and handed it to her.

Fang Zhaoshi took the basket and went out, not knowing whether it was a guilty conscience or something.

Fang Mu didn't care about her, as long as she didn't act like a monster, Fang Mu could bear it.

Not long after Mrs. Fang Zhao left, Chao Yan re-entered the house, followed by two little tails.

When Xiaowei saw Fang Mu, he smiled and called Uncle sweetly.

Fang Mu also curled his lips and hummed.

Chaoyan took out the candied haws that had been specially reserved in a bowl, and shared one among the siblings.

"Thank you uncle." The siblings thanked politely.

"Well, let's go out and play, don't run too far, it's time to eat later." Chaoyan patted the heads of the two siblings rewardingly.

"Okay." Fang Yun took his brother and left.

Only then did Chao Yan say to Fang Mu: "I'll come, you go sit down with Big Brother and the others."

"Yeah." Fang Mu got up and gave him the seat.

In fact, there is nothing to do. The duck is cut in half for soup, the meat is cut and stewed, the roast chicken can be eaten directly, and the fish is boiled and stir-fried vegetables.

Fang Mu went out, Fang Lin was sitting there, and Fang Zhao was washing vegetables by the puddle.

Fang Lin saw him and asked, "When was this shed built?"

Fang Mu sat down on the bench near the door. In order to entertain guests, Chaoyan moved out the square table in the room earlier, but now it is empty: "On the [-]th day."

Fang Lin sighed: "I didn't know Xiaoyan was a brother before, and I thought it would be nice to have him to help you look after the house. He is really hardworking and capable."

Fang Mu said: "At least Uncle Yuan didn't do anything wrong."

Speaking of Zeng Yuan, Fang Lin snorted and asked, "Go invite him, what did he say?"

Fang Mu shook his head.

Fang Lin said conveniently, "If you want me to say that this relative will not leave."

Fang Mudao: "We understand it in our hearts, and Yanyan has to take it easy. He is Yanyan's only relative in this world, and I don't want to make decisions for Yanyan."

Fang Lin looked at him now, and said with emotion: "As a brother, I should guide you on your way to grow up. Although there were differences in the process, I am glad that the result is good. You know how to feel sorry for Brother Fulang, and I am very pleased."

Fang Mu smiled, but didn't answer.

In fact, he is indeed a brother. Fang Lin is well-known in Xishui Village for loving his wife.

Even though Fang Zhao was stupid in treating Fang Mu, Fang Lin really treated her well.

This meal was very sumptuous, and the mouths of the whole family were full of oil, and the two children had round belly.

Chao Yan's craftsmanship is good, including Fang Zhao's, all expressed their praise for him.

There were four dishes and one soup on the dinner table, and the four adults and two children ate it openly, and there was still a bowl of stewed pork left.

Chaoyan directly put it in a bowl and asked Mrs. Fang Zhao to take it back for the two children to eat.

When Fang Zhaoshi picked up his things, his mouth moved, obviously wanting to say something, but in the end he still didn't say it.

Chao Yan didn't want to guess, he was the same as Fang Mu, as long as Fang Zhao didn't make trouble, he could respect her as a sister-in-law.

...........

In the next few days, when the two went to pay the money owed to Grandma Li, they bought three chickens and two ducks from her house.

Of course, not all of them belonged to her, but also from the family of the second son and the youngest son. So far, Chaoyan has bought out all the seedlings in her family.

A few new members have been added to the chicken coop, and two loquats, two peaches and a persimmon tree have grown in the field.

They are all wild trees that Fang Mu searched and transplanted from the village.

Like loquats and peaches, the villagers throw away the cores after eating them, and they will grow when they touch the ground. Sometimes the villagers will feel that they are in the way and pull them out.

The square logs were moved back to the ground for planting, just to get what they needed.

The days passed day by day, and on the 27th, Fang Mu went to the town to pick up Chao Yan's new clothes.

After taking it back, she asked Chaoyan to try it, but Chaoyan refused.

He said: "Now that you see it, the wedding night is no longer novelty."

Also, the clothes are all tailor-made, and there will be no problem of inconsistency in size, so Fang Mu simply waits until the day after tomorrow.

In less than two days, he could afford to wait.

But there was one thing he forgot to say.

At the beginning, after taking ten taels of silver and spending two taels, he put it in the box when he came back, and he didn’t add up the money with Chaoyan. He took Chaoyan inside, let him sit on the bed, and took out the silver by himself. Sit back next to him, and said: "Yanyan, I saved the wedding, but not the dowry. Although we are one now and shouldn't be so clearly divided, you will suffer a lot if you marry me. I will give you Two taels of silver is used as the bride price, you keep the money yourself, you don’t need to subsidize the family, understand?”

Chaoyan is naturally unwilling to accept: "Brother Mu..."

"Don't refuse, you have to be nice to yourself."

Chaoyan looked at him helplessly and sincerely: "I said, I will not be wronged by following you, you are fine."

Fang Mu smiled, and couldn't help touching his face: "I'm fine with not conflicting with you in accepting the dowry money, silly boy, do you want to chat with others in the future, and they ask you how much dowry Fang Mu gave you?" , you said I didn't want it, would they laugh at you as a fool?"

Chaoyan shook her head: "I don't care what they say."

Fang Mu saw that it didn't make sense, so he directly stuffed it to him: "Keep the bottom of the box, I often run outside, I don't worry if you have money with you."

The words have come to this point, Chao Yan really can't say anything more, and can only take it.
