husband, he picked it up [farming]

Fang Mu went home and took the only sickle, and came to help.

The wasteland he replaced was actually very wide, but his ability alone was limited and he couldn't take care of so much, so many places were left with long grass.

Chaoyan saw him coming and glanced at him.

At this time, the sun had already slanted to the west, and half of the outline was hanging on the top of the mountain. The two of them nestled at the foot of the mountain, which was a shady place, and it was cool.

Fang Mu said to him: "It's hard to repair this grass, why don't you call me?"

Chaoyan said: "I'm used to doing farm work, so I don't find it hard."

Hearing the reason, Fang Mu didn't pursue it.The two worked in silence.

For a moment, there were only the sounds of sickles dancing and hoes falling to the ground.

Both of them are farmers, and they are orderly when doing farm work, and the back of the house was cleaned up by them in a short while.

Looking at the weeds weeded out, Chao Yan asked, "Do you have a farm at home?"

What he said now is natural, and Fang Mu likes to hear it: "No, I can't take care of it, so I rented it out to others."

Chaoyan wanted to say that he would plant in the future, but the two had just met, so they didn't say anything.

But Fang Mu saw his hesitation, and said: "I'm not at home often, and you can't handle it all by yourself. It's better to collect rent. Anyway, there's enough food. If you really feel bored, you can open up this land. Take care of it, and you can grow a la carte."

"land?"

Fang Mu pointed to the surroundings of the house: "From here to there, it's all mine."

Chaoyan looked at it, good guy, this piece of wasteland has two or three acres, if it is really cleared up to grow vegetables, it will be very spacious.

Fang Mu said again: "I spend at least half a month outside, you can look after the house and take care of the land."

Chaoyan said: "Then I'll see."

Fang Mu nodded.

Chaoyan asked again: "Have you grown any vegetables?"

A little embarrassment appeared on Fang Mu's face: "The seeds were planted, but when I was not at home, no one took care of them, and they all died of the sun."

"..." Chao Yan was relieved after being stunned. People who are away for half a month a month don't have the time to take care of them: "Then I have time to make up for it."

Fang Mu hummed.

Chao Yan divided the removed weeds into several piles and spread them out in the sun, preparing to dry them and burn them as fertilizer.

But Fang Mu went back to the house, took the realgar powder he had just bought in the town and sprinkled it around the house to repel snakes, and also burned some herbs to drive away mosquitoes.

After finishing these, it happened that Fang Lin came to the door.

He was carrying a vegetable basket, and the basket was covered with a piece of calico, so it was impossible to see what was inside.

Seeing that both of them were holding hoes, Fang Lin knew they were clearing weeds, so he went straight into the house with his things, and before he came out, he said to Fang Mu, "Tell me what's missing, and I'll bring it to you. "

Fang Mu just agreed.

Fang Lin went back. At this time, the family started cooking. If he stayed, the younger brother would have to prepare his portion.

Fang Mu just entered the room, lifted the cloth and took a look. Besides the vegetables, there were ten eggs in the vegetable basket. The quantity was not much, but the eggs were precious. Fang Lin took ten at once. If his sister-in-law found out, he would have to suffer explain.

In fact, Fang Mu also knew that it was uncomfortable for Fang Lin to be caught in the middle, so he never said anything. The two brothers maintained such a tacit understanding and lived their lives year after year.

Chao Yan, who can clean the hoe, entered the house, Fang Mu asked him: "Do you want to eat or drink porridge?"

Thinking that the family's rations were all collected from rent, Chaoyan dared not be willful, and said, "Let's make some porridge, I'll cook it, and you have a rest."

The experience of someone sharing the housework is really novel, so Fang Mu sat down to rest, but seeing Chaoyan walking around by herself, he was too embarrassed to sit down, so he went to get a small basket and green vegetables, and said, "Then I'll go To wash the vegetables, you boil the water by the way."

Chao Yan hummed.

Fang Mu went out of the house and squatted by the pool to wash vegetables.

At this time, the afterglow of the sun was shining, and there were sparkling waves on the water, but Fang Mu didn't care to appreciate it. He put the washed vegetables into the basket, leaned back and looked into the house. The puddle was right at the door. The front side position, from this angle, can see the flashing figure inside through the window that was opened for ventilation at noon.

He is thinking about the relationship between the two.

At noon, I left him behind because of a momentary soft-heartedness, but after getting along with him all afternoon, I unexpectedly felt that this person was nice.

As for the appearance, although it is not beautiful, it is better than being handsome, and the figure is also tall, but it is too thin.

Man, he is very diligent, at least he has good eyesight, and he will rush to do the work without him kicking and taking a step.

For now, Fang Mu is very satisfied.

He sat outside for a while before picking up the basket, shaking off the water inside and entering the house.

In the room, Chao Yan was sitting in front of the stove, watching the fire intently.

Fang Mu put the basket in the wooden basin used for washing dishes, so as not to drip water everywhere.

"Then what... how old are you this year?" Fang Mu lowered his eyes and looked at him.

Chaoyan raised her head: "Eighteen."

Fang Mu said, "I'm older than you."

Chao Yan knew what he meant, it would be difficult to get along with each other in the future, and she said you and me: "Brother Mu."

Fang Mu hummed: "Is the water hot?"

Chaoyan got up, opened the lid of the pot and tested the temperature with her hands: "It's a little hot, you can wash it with some cold water."

"It's still early, if you want to wash your hair, hurry up." It's windy at night to avoid catching cold.

Knowing that he cared about her, Chaoyan couldn't help but feel a little more moved.

His parents suffered an accident, he was suddenly alone, and before he had time to hurt the cruelty of heaven, he was covered by his livelihood and had to leave his hometown to find relatives, but he was pushed away by his relatives, and this stranger he met on the first day, Not only took him in, but also took care of his face and safety, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved.

Chaoyan sniffed, and said, "Then I'll wash my hair first, and cook vegetables later."

Fang Mu didn't know his psychological changes, he just thought about Chaoyan's long journey, and he probably didn't have a good rest. Now that they have settled down, it is necessary to freshen up: "It's okay, I'll do it."

Chaoyan asked: "The basin filled with water..."

Fang Mu turned out the tub and gave it to him.

Everything is in this room, and everything is clear at a glance. Fang Mu is not often at home, so there is not much furniture, only the tableware and toiletries are slightly complete.

Chao Yan took the bath tub, scooped up the water with a ladle, filled it up, and walked out with it.

Fang Mu took out a box of tea powder from the box and followed him out.

Chaoyan took the water to the puddle, the puddle has a drainage ditch, the dirty water from washing hair can flow away from here, without wetting the place.

Fang Mu put the box on his right hand: "It contains tea dry powder."

"Thank you."

Fang Mu didn't say anything, turned around and went in.

Chaoyan went to move the low stool by the puddle down and sat down, opened the box, and there was still a ball of gauze inside. Chaoyan took out the gauze and twisted a handful of tea dry powder. The texture was not delicate, a little rough, but this It is already a good thing that farmers can get.

He wrapped some in gauze and tied them in knots, then put them into the bath tub and rubbed them, after a while the water turned brown and a layer of foam floated on the surface, Chao Yan then untied her hair and washed it.

While Chaoyan was washing her hair, Fang Mu went to stir-fry the vegetables.

Even though his house is shabby, it can be regarded as well-equipped. After Fang Mu moved in, he replaced the stove with an earthen stove. His earthen stove has three stoves, and can boil water, porridge, and stir-fry at the same time without delay.

Now that there is one more person in the family, Fang Mu can't fool around casually, and if he really wants to marry Chaoyan, this person has to take care of himself.

So Fang Mu fried three poached eggs and fried a plate of vegetables.

Fang Mu set the table and chopsticks, and was about to call Chaoyan to eat, when Chaoyan, who had washed her hair, had already come in with a wooden basin.

The wet waist-length hair was scattered behind his head, and Fang Mu hurried to get him a dry cloth.

"Wipe first."

Asagao, who had put the bathtub away, took it over naturally.

"Don't wait for me, you eat first."

He ate porridge at noon, Fang Mu was a big man, he had to work in the afternoon, he must be hungry, the smell of food was smelling in the room again, the hooked people were greedy, Zhao Yan was empathetic, and he was too embarrassed to ask Fang Mu to wait for him.

"I'll serve the porridge for you and let it cool down."

Chaoyan said thanks.

Fang Mu went to eat first.

He ate one of the three poached eggs, and saved half of the vegetables for Chao Yan, but he ate so much porridge that he didn't give up until he finished three bowls.

Fortunately, Zhaoyan didn't save it, the rice was put really well, and it wouldn't just go down in one gulp, it was just water, most of it was dregs.

Although Fang Mu had a miserable life in the past ten years, since he was adopted by Grandpa Li, he has never missed a bite of food, even earning money by himself, never like other families, cooking porridge is all water, cooking rice bran.

Although there are more beautiful faces in this family now, Fang Mu doesn't want him to be too frugal. The body is the capital, and if you take care of it, you will naturally have everything.

After Fang Mu had finished eating, Chaoyan wiped her hair until it was half dry before sitting down.

He looked at the dishes on the plate and said, "Why did you leave so much for me?"

Fang Mu, who was cleaning the spatula, said: "Eat them all, the eggs have a strong fishy smell, and they are easy to attract centipedes."

Zhaoyan still understands this.

He could only eat two eggs and half a plate of vegetables.

After he finished eating and the water was boiled, Fang Mu asked him to take a bath.

When it came to bathing, the two of them realized that Fang Mu didn't have a bathroom at home.

Fang Mu really forgot all of a sudden. In the past few years, he was alone, taking a shower in his room. Now that there are more Chaoyans in the house, it would be fine if the other party was a man, so there is no need to shy away from it, but he is a brother...

Fang Mu's face was a little unnatural, but fortunately it was already dark at this time, so he couldn't tell.

He coughed and said, "You wash first, I'll wait outside."

Zhao Yan was also a little embarrassed: "Okay"

I just want to make a quick fix and wash it off quickly.

After Zhaoyan adjusted the water temperature, Fang Mu went out of the room, closed the door, and sat in front of the room to wait.

The moon and stars are rare in Xia Ye, and today is the sixteenth day. A full moon hangs high in the sky, and the cold light shines down, adding a hazy beauty to the night.

The distant village was no longer visible at this time, and the only thing that could be heard were a few barking dogs in the distance.
