"Brother Mu, I'm fine."

Hearing a shout from inside, Fang Mu also responded: "OK."

He opened the door and went in. In the dim candlelight, his face changed into a clean dark gray vertical brown, and he was much more energetic than the first sight.

Chao Yan was going to pour the bath water, Fang Mu stopped him: "I'll come, you sit down."

Chaoyan didn't snatch him away, just watched helplessly.

After running through the tub with water, Fang Mu first fetched hot water and brought it out, and then went to get a change of clothes: "I'll go outside to wash."

"It's too dark..." Chao Yan wanted to stop him.

"It's okay, I'll light the lantern, you should dry your hair early, blow out the candles and go to sleep in a while."

After all, this is his own territory, Fang Mu is familiar with it, and Chao Yan can't be allowed to go outside at night.

There are lanterns at home, and sometimes Fang Mu would go on a night trip, so he prepared them, lit a candle, and went out with his clothes.

When we got to the puddle, we hung up the lantern, put the clothes on the stool, adjusted the temperature of the water, and then took off the clothes, leaving only a pair of obscene pants to block them.

He has been traveling all year round, and has learned some boxing skills, so his figure is naturally better than ordinary men.

The pectoral and abdominal muscles are not exaggerated, a thin layer, but he is tall and has long legs, which looks pleasing to the eye.

Fang Mu tidied himself up in the fastest time, and ignored the dirty clothes and the tub. Anyway, he had to wash them tomorrow, so he put them by the puddle, took a dry towel and pulled the lantern back to the house.

Inside, Chao Yan was sitting in front of the stove drying her hair with the residual heat of the firewood.

Although Fang Mu was not disrespectful, his appearance was not neat, presumably because the light outside was not good, his belt was not tied properly, it was loose.

After entering the house and closing the door, she went to the bed, wiped off the moisture from her feet with a dry towel, and said to Chao Yan, "I'm going to bed first, you should rest early."

Chaoyan hummed: "Good night."

When Fang Mu lay down on the bed, he never forgot to say: "Let's put it in the bathroom for now, and we'll talk about it when we're done working for a few days."

The weather is hot, so I can wait, Chao Yan replied: "Okay."

Fang Mu yawned and was speechless.

He was so natural, accidentally relieving Chao Yan's nervousness.

Maybe it was the courage given by the sun during the day, Chaoyan was not afraid when facing Fang Mu alone, but at night, thinking of the two of them going to rest in the same room, even though it was not the same bed, Chaoyan couldn't help thinking about it.

He had never been so close to anyone except his parents.

After a while, the person on the bed started snoring, but the sound was not loud, because everything was still.

Chaoyan waited until the firewood lost the last bit of warmth before closing the windows, blowing out the candles and lying on the bed.

He slept in a new bed that was only set up at noon.

Fang Mu is too self-conscious and used to let him lie down on the old bed.

Chaoyan didn't mean to complain, he lay on the bed, thinking about what happened today.

In a word, it's amazing.

I don't even know how I fell asleep until the end.

When Zhaoyan woke up the next day, she only remembered that she was turned over several times last night by the noise of birdsong.

If there is one disadvantage of this house, it is close to the mountains and forests. At night, the people are quiet and the birds are singing, and the sound is clear, but it will not cause insomnia.

Fang Mu was still sleeping when Chaoyan got up, since the family doesn’t farm, it’s okay to go to bed later, Chaoyan didn’t want to disturb him, but Fang Mu’s vigilance was too high or something, and he woke up as soon as Chaoyan woke up.

But the man just opened his eyes and looked around a few times, as if he was confirming something. After a while, his sleepiness eased a little before he said, "There are taro and sweet potatoes in the urn next to the rice vat."

Chaoyan got up and was preparing to make breakfast. Hearing this, she nodded her head: "Go to sleep for a while, and I will call you when you are ready."

Fang Mu hummed, yawned and went back to sleep.

Chao Yan put on her shoes, combed her hair first, and then went to get a toothbrush and tooth powder to wash outside.

The things were given by Fang Mu. He said that he brought them back as spares when he went out to do business, and he gave them to him because Chaoyan lived in.

Although Chao Yan is a farmer, she also knows that these things are precious.

After all, he used willow branches as a child.

After washing up, Chao Yan went to look through the urn next to the rice vat.

The urn wasn't that big, just bigger than a sauerkraut jar. Opening the lid, he glanced at Zhaoyan before reaching out to pick it up.

Sweet potatoes and taro are leftovers from the Chinese New Year. Both of them are long-lasting, because they are well preserved and have not rotted or germinated.

Chao Yan took out four palm-sized sweet potatoes and two yams, washed them and steamed them in a pot, then grabbed a handful of rice, washed them clean and cooked porridge.

After doing this, I took the time to wash the clothes.

He got up early, just after dawn, and after a quarter of an hour of work, the sun showed its face behind the clouds.

Only Huoshaoyun is still hanging in the sky, wanting to disperse.

The foot of the mountain is not completely shaded, and the house is exposed to the sun in no time.

Zhao Yan also took a look at it while drying clothes. Most of this wasteland is in the sun. If you want to grow crops, you have to plant some that can withstand the sun and drought.

But these problems are not big, and some fruit trees can be planted for shade in the future.

He ran both inside and outside the house, successfully waking Fang Mu up.

His footsteps are not heavy, but Fang Mu is not used to it because there are more people in the family, so he simply gets up when he is woken up.

Fang Mu put on his shoes and yawned and went out after putting on the clothes that were loose before going to bed because he had slept all night and couldn’t fall off.

The flames in the stove were jumping, and the aroma of the food in the pot was emitting. He couldn't remember how old he was until he got up to eat.

Fang Mu stretched out and went out, and saw Chaoyan drying clothes in the yard.

When he circled the fence, he reserved enough space for drying clothes or building another room.

Fang Mu asked him, "You washed the clothes so quickly."

Hearing his voice, Chaoyan turned his head, and the man under the eaves was lazily leaning against the door, looking leisurely. He shook off the last piece of clothing and hung it on the bamboo pole, saying: "It's convenient at home, it's not bad to wash a few clothes." What's the matter?"

Seeing that he washed both of them together, Fang Mu felt even more satisfied, as for being embarrassed?That's not at all.

Chaoyan has just moved into his house, and urgently needs to do something to gain a sense of security. If Fang Mu refuses to let him do this or that, Chaoyan herself will not be happy either.

Chao Yan finished drying his clothes, saw that he was still standing still, and said, "Go wash up first, and we'll clear all the grass after breakfast."

Fang Mu was not unhappy when he was assigned to work, he went to get a toothbrush and towel to wash up as he said.

Chaoyan went back first, checked the rawness and ripeness of the sweet potatoes and taro, put out the fire when they were ready, and put the porridge in a bowl, and it was ready to eat when Fang Mu came over.

After a while, Fang Mu came in and put away the toothbrush and towel before sitting down. Before he took the bowl, he said, "If you see wormwood in a while, don't throw it away. Take it out and dry it to repel mosquitoes."

Chao Yan followed his words and said, "It's just the beginning of summer, there must be a lot of herbs and wild vegetables, I'll pick some later."

Fang Mu hummed.

If you want to say what is the most valuable thing for rural people, it is nothing more than the things in the field.

These are the favorites of farmers who face the loess and back to the sky. Herbal medicines can cure diseases, and wild vegetables can wrap their stomachs. They are all treasures.

Fang Mu drank a bowl of porridge first, and then went to eat sweet potatoes.

Steamed sweet potatoes are sweet and soft, and taste different from yams. Taroes need to be added with soy sauce to make them more delicious, while sweet potatoes do not.

Chaoyan cooked a lot, and planned to save more for Fang Mu, but Fang Mu knew what he was thinking, so he divided half of the sweet potatoes and taros for each person.

After breakfast and ready to work, Fang Mu took out the straw hat and bamboo hat and put them on for the two of them.

In the end, I turned out the hoe and the sickle.

"The hoe is a bit blunt, I'll sharpen it." Zhao Yan felt it yesterday when she was using it.

Fang Mu stopped him: "I'll do it."

Chaoyan gave him the hoe, put the whetstone at the puddle, and Fang Mu walked there with the hoe.

While Fang Mu was sharpening his hoe, Chaoyan took a bamboo basket and went to pick some wild vegetables first.

Fangmu's wasteland is vast, and there are many varieties of wild vegetables.

There are shepherd's purse, purslane, mother-in-law and bitter herbs.

There are also a lot of plantains, and Chaoyan pulls out all usable ones and puts them in the basket.

Fang Mu finished sharpening his hoe, and carried it to Chao Yan, who was squatting in the field and concentrated on looking for wild vegetables: "Come with me, I will show you the land."

Chaoyan put the mother-in-law Ding in her basket into the basket, patted the mud on her hands and stood up, following behind Fang Mu.

The wasteland that Fangmu exchanged for two mu of land has a boundary.

The rest are part of the mountain, and Fang Mu has to get the consent of the village if he wants to use them.

However, this boundary line is also relatively easy to recognize, starting from the first foot of the ditch.

"I only had time to insert the pole to fix the spot. Don't exceed this line when you plant in the future."

Chaoyan followed his words and looked over, and saw bamboo poles tied to the ground by the side of the ditch, connected with straw ropes, Chaoyan walked along this line to the end, and at the mountain pass, saw the last bamboo pole that had rotted and broken straw ropes.

Fang Mu explained: "I've been busy recently, so I haven't had time to make up."

Chao Yan asked him: "Do you still have straw rope at home?"

Fang Mu thought for a while and said, "There are still some, but the bamboo poles have to be chopped."

"It's convenient to use a bamboo pole as a boundary stone, but sooner or later I have to mend it. I'll find a stone." As soon as I said it, I did it, and Chaoyan walked up the mountain.

Fang Mu stopped him: "Below."

Chaoyan's toes immediately turned a corner.

There is indeed a stone at the foot of the mountain, which is vertically long and round, and it is perfect as a boundary stone.

Fang Mu looked left and right, this stone should be at least one hundred and twenty-three, it would be easier for two people to lift it.

Just as he was about to speak, Chaoyan rolled up his sleeves, pushed him aside, put his horse into a stance, bent down, hugged him with both hands, and lifted it vigorously, the big stone was lifted off the ground.

"!!!" Fang Mu was dumbfounded.

Over there, Chaoyan walked steadily for several steps, before Fang Mu came back to his senses, closed his mouth and hurriedly followed.

Chao Yan blushed without panting and moved to the mountain pass in one go, and when he let it go, the boulder immediately sank into the ground.

Fang Mu swallowed after watching the whole process, and said sincerely, "You are really strong."

Chao Yan showed him a friendly smile: "I am born with supernatural power."

"..." If this pissed him off, a punch would probably cripple him.

Chaoyan looked at someone who was distracted, and suppressed a smile: "Go and get the straw rope."

"Oh, good." Fang Mu hurried home, as if he would be beaten if he was too late.

When he got home, he rummaged through the boxes and chests to find the last piece of straw rope, took it out to Chaoyan, and Chaoyan connected it to the other piece, and tied it to the big rock again. good."

Fang Mu, who was just shocked by Lu's hand, naturally nodded: "You are right."

Chaoyan felt that he was quite honest: "Go to work."
