husband, he picked it up [farming]

Fang Mu did not intend to procrastinate after inquiring about the matter entrusted by Qiao's father and mother, so he went to Qiao Song's house in the town early the next morning.

Qiao Song happened to be out with his brother on some errands, and only Qiao's father, Qiao's mother, eldest daughter-in-law, mother and son were at home.

After Fang Mu was welcomed in by them, he drank a cup of tea and told them what they were looking forward to.

Anyway, according to what Li Daqing said, he agreed to meet with the two families first, and then they had to wait until they met to discuss other matters.

It was not Fang Mu's turn to meddle in these matters. He declined Qiao's father's invitation to stay for lunch, and left Qiao Song's house to go home.

When he went out in the morning, he asked Chaoyan to go to the town together, but Chaoyan considered that he was going to Qiao Song, so he didn't want to cause trouble to others, so he stayed at home to work.

The bamboo shed they dismantled yesterday was still piled up behind the house, and Chaoyan took advantage of this time to cut it into sections for later burning.

Fang Mu walked Changling Mountain back to the foot of the mountain, and he could still hear the bang bang sound of chopping bamboo.

The mountains and fields are wide, and the sound moves with the wind. The figure hiding behind the small dilapidated house arouses the interest of watching.

Fang Mu walked along the dirt road and went to the back of the house, where he saw Chaoyan bending over to split bamboo poles.

There are several piles of bamboo poles beside him.

"Yan Yan."

Chaoyan turned around, saw him, and stood up straight: "I'm back."

Fang Mu came over and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "Go back to the house and drink some water, I'll have heat stroke later."

Chao Yan looked up at the sky and said, "Summer is almost over."

They have known each other for two months, and the summer has come to an end, which means that autumn is coming.

Autumn, the harvest season.

"Well, we have to get ready for planting." Fang Mu took off his hatchet and threw it on the bamboo pile, leading him into the house.

The puppy was napping in the shade, Chao Yan had fed it, now it only recognizes Chao Yan.

"Ang Ang, let's go." Fang Mu called it.

But the puppy ignored it.

Because it doesn't know who Ang Ang is calling.

The puppy likes to lie on it, so let it lie on it, and when it wakes up, it knows to go back to the house. Chaoyan is not worried about it getting lost, but just laughs at Fangmu: "How can you name the dog like that?"

"This name suits it so well." The dog was still young, and the barking sound was like that. Fang Mu got tired of listening to it for two days, so he simply named the dog after the barking sound.

Anyway, the dogs in the village are either called Dahei Dabai Dahuang, which is nothing new.

The two of them went back around the corner to the front, passed the fence and entered the door.

Fang Mu went to pour water for him: "I forgot to tell you something."

Chao Yan took the water glass, drank it in one gulp and asked, "What's the matter?"

Fang Mu took the cup and refilled it for him again: "When I returned to the caravan this time, I received a letter from Sister Yao, in which she said that she would return to Pingnan County."

"Sister Yao?"

"It's my righteous sister." Fang Mu gave him the cup: "Sit down and talk."

Chao Yan hummed.

After the two sat down, Fang Mucai continued: "When I was ten years old, I left Xishui Village to seek a living in the county town. I was accidentally adopted by Grandpa Li. Sister Yao was his granddaughter. Later, Grandpa Li passed away, and Sister Yao followed her husband to work in other places. Business, I have been away for the past few years. On weekdays, we will report our safety by letter. Logically speaking, we should inform her in advance of our marriage, but the journey is far away, and the wedding day is too late. Sent her a letter and told her about you."

The letter was written by the way when I went to the town to pick up new clothes that day. There are messengers in the town. As long as you are willing to spend money, the frontier can send it to you. It is only a matter of time.

Chaoyan knew that he had a hard time as a child, but he never thought that he left home at a young age, saying that he was adopted by Grandpa Li, but there is no such a coincidence, and his brother Mu has always had a temperament of reporting good news but not worrying , there may be something hidden from him in this, but the other party made it clear that he didn't want to say it, Chao Yan couldn't force Fang Mu to reveal those things back then: "If you came to Xixi five years ago I wish I knew you when I was in the water village."

Fang Mu didn't say clearly that he didn't want to burden Chao Yan too much.

Also, he was also afraid of being ashamed in front of Yan Yan.

His past was not only unglamorous, but also desolate. If it weren't for Grandpa Li, he might be a bastard or a beggar today, and he would never be the decent person he is now.

"Don't think about the past. Everyone has to look forward. When Sister Yao comes back, I will take you to see her." Fang Mu comforted him by holding his hand on the table.

Obviously this person is the one who endures hardships, but he always leaves his tenderness to others: "Sister Yao lives in the county?"

"Grandpa Li and brother-in-law are both from the county."

Chaoyan nodded to show that she knew, and from Brother Mu's tone, this sister Yao was very important to him.

Hope she will like herself.

"Yanyan, didn't you say earlier that you wanted to set up a tomb for your father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

Fang Mu's words brought him back to his mind, and Chao Yan hummed: "I haven't found anyone to count my days yet."

"Then go to the clan elder, he will take care of it." Fang Mu suggested.

"it is good."

Zhao Yan was very upset, this matter was brought up when the two of them were not in touch, and never mentioned it again, he thought Fang Mu had forgotten it, but he did not expect to remember it.

The two talked a few more words, drank a few glasses of water, and then Chao Yan went to split the bamboo pole.

There was only one hatchet at home, and Fang Mu couldn't help, so he took a hoe to dig the ground.

We have to turn the land out to plant sweet potatoes.

At noon, the two of them had lunch and went to take a nice nap, and continued to work in the afternoon.

Fang Mu still plowed the ground, and Chao Yan finished work behind the house.

In the future, the wasteland welcomes guests.

It was Zhang Orion with a smile on his face.

Fang Mu was in front of the house, and Zhang Orion had to go through Fang Mu if he wanted to find Chaoyan, and besides, it was his husband, so there was no reason for him to go beyond his husband to find someone else's husband.

Seeing Fang Mu, Zhang Liehu asked with a smile, "When did Mu Zi come back?"

"Brother Min." Fang Mu stopped digging and straightened up: "I came back the day before yesterday."

Zhang Min asked, "Is Xiao Chao there? I have something to ask him."

"He's chopping firewood in the back, I'll call him." Fang Mu walked out of the wasteland to the dirt road and led him to the house.

When he reached the fence, he probed and shouted: "Yan Yan, Brother Min is looking for you."

Not far away, he heard Chao Yan when he called out. He was still curious about who Brother Min was, put down the hatchet and went back to the house, saw Zhang Orion, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang."

Zhang Liehu said: "I'll give you money."

Everyone loves to hear these words, Chao Yan walked in: "All sold?"

Zhang Liehu said: "It was transported to the county to sell yesterday, so it was delayed."

"It's okay, thank you for your hard work." Chao Yan sat down beside Fang Mu.

Seeing that he sat next to Fang Mu without even thinking about it, Zhang Liehu thought that outsiders were right, that the two had a deep relationship, so he took out a money bag from his pocket and said, "We sold a total of more than 40 taels. If it is calculated to you, the three of you are worth four or two hundred Wen each."

This number surprised Fang Mu: "So many?"

He only earned more than 900 Wen this time.

Zhang Orion smiled and said: "This time I'm lucky, all the wild animals I hunt are expensive."

Not to mention the dozen or so rabbits and pheasants, the antelope and wild deer are enough to earn a fortune.

Chao Yan was also a little surprised. He guessed that only two taels of silver came into the account, but he didn't expect to double it directly. It seems that the price here is higher than Chang Yuan.

But he still maintained a calm face: "Thank you for making this trip."

Faced with four taels of silver, he can still remain unmoved. It seems that Xiao Chao did not lose this money when he was in Changyuan. The more calm he is, the more satisfied Zhang Min is with him, and the more he feels that it is a pity to follow Fang Mu. : "It's okay, if I go into the mountain again next time, can I call you?"

Chao Yan's performance is so good because she thinks that he will bring her next time: "Then I will thank Brother Zhang first."

"This is all your own ability." Zhang Min smiled, as the saying goes, it is better to bring in acquaintances than acquaintances. He has worked with Chaoyan before, and knows that he is quick and alert in his work. It is better to bring such a person than to bring in another novice : "Success, my family still has something to do, so I won't stay any longer."

He said so, and it was impossible for the two of them to force him to stay for tea, so Chao Yan went into the room with the money bag and returned his empty one to him.

After a while, Chaoyan came out from the inside and handed him the empty purse: "The amount is correct, thank you Brother Zhang."

"Okay, then I'll go back." Zhang Min stood up and took it.

Fang Mu also got up to see him off: "Thank you, Brother Min."

Zhang Min waved his hand, stepped out the door and left his house.

The husband and wife stood at the door watching him go away, Chaoyan jumped up and hugged Fang Mu, unable to hide his joy: "Brother Mu, I earned four taels of silver."

Fang Mu was taken aback by him, and instinctively hugged the person who jumped on him, and after realizing it, he smiled and said, "Yes, Yanyan is awesome."

Chaoyan's legs were crossed around his waist, and Fang Mu held his waist tightly to stabilize his figure. He held Fang Mu's face, with a smile on his mouth, and a pity in his words: "It's just that I can't live like this. Long dry, only once every two or three months."

Although he gained some weight in the past two months, but not to the extent that Fang Mu couldn't hold him, Fang Mu just hugged him to the bench and sat down: "How to say?"

This posture made Chaoyan sit on Fang Mu's lap. He simply put his leg down and put his arm around his neck to explain: "One is that although hunting comes quickly, it is dangerous. If you fall into the eyes of money, then It’s not far from the accident, and the second is that wild animals grow slowly, so we have to give them time to recuperate and reproduce.”

"In that case, a tael of silver a month is a lot." Fang Mu was still easily satisfied.

Chao Yan took the initiative to kiss his lips happily, and said, "If it goes well, I can save eight taels of silver this year."

"Don't worry about saving money. Safety comes first. You also said that if you fall into the eyes of money, you will not be far from an accident. I don't want you to have trouble." Fang Mu persuaded.

Although Chao Yan wants to make money, she also knows the principle that life is paramount. They are not at the point where they are at the end of their rope, and there is no need to risk their lives for money, comforting: "Don't worry, I haven't had a baby with you yet, I won't Something happened."

"Just chat, don't seduce me."

"Why do I..." Chaoyan felt the change in him, and was speechless: "What are you thinking?"

Fang Mu kissed him and said, "Didn't you say you want to have a baby with me?"

"I didn't even say it's now." Chao Yan was afraid that he would turn herself onto the bed in a daze, and hurriedly got off him, Fang Mu didn't stop him, and let him go according to his wishes.

Fang Mu asked him, "How much money does the family have now?"

"I'll do the math..." Chaoyan snapped her fingers: "Not counting the two taels of betrothal gift you gave me, besides the six taels of silver left over from buying the bed, I spent three taels of money to get married, and I received more than 200 taels of money in red envelopes." , I spent less in the past half month, plus the more than 900 Wen you earned, the family now has [-] taels of silver."

Rural people usually give more gifts and fewer red envelopes when they hold banquets, and the two invite few guests.

Fortunately, Chaoyan earned more than four taels from hunting in the mountains this time, and the family had so much money all of a sudden.

"Then when the Chinese New Year comes, we can save at least ten taels of silver." Fang Mu said.

Chao Yan nodded.

With money in hand, he was not so anxious, and Brother Li Mu took a step forward in leaving the business.
