husband, he picked it up [farming]

The next day, the two went to the town to buy vegetables, and when they came back, Fang Mu went to the village to find Zeng Shi.

But when he arrived at Zeng Shi's house, Fang Mu yelled a few times but did not hear a response. Instead, the neighbor was disturbed and came out to tell Fang Mu that Zeng Shi went to his pig friend's house for a drink and didn't come back last night.

The villagers kindly pointed out, and Fang Mu thanked him. Since he didn't know where to find Zeng Shi, Fang Mu had to go back first.

When she got home, Chao Yan was processing the meat she had bought earlier. Seeing Fang Mu coming back so soon, she asked curiously, "Is Zeng Shi not at home?"

Fang Mu shook his head: "No, I didn't come back last night."

Zhao Yan knew it clearly: "I'm afraid I went to drink again."

"Well, I'll check it out in the afternoon."

Chao Yan put the cut meat into a basin and put it away, and asked Fang Mu, "Are you going to the county seat tomorrow?"

"If there is nothing to do at home, I will go tomorrow."

Chaoyan went to wash the knives and sticky boards again, while chatting with Fang Mu: "You go, sister is short of people, you'd better go there as soon as possible."

"Okay, I made an agreement with my sister, one or two wages for the first three months, and another five hundred cash for the next three months, and she will pay you the wages at that time."

Amidst the splashing water, Chao Yan smiled and said, "What are you doing for me? You don't keep the money you earn yourself."

Fang Mu said: "You only know the expenses of the family."

Chaoyan hung up the washed kitchen knife and sticky board, wiped off the drops of water on her hands with a dry towel, and said, "It's okay, the family's monthly expenses were only two hundred cash, and you may spend more at home in the future." .”

"It's not too much, you spend what you need, don't waste it." He went to work in a tailor shop, and he must have lunch in the old house, so he can take care of it in the morning and evening.

Chaoyan came over and put his arms around his neck, and said, "When spring comes next year, I will go to the mountains with Big Brother Zhang and the others, and I will be able to support the family."

Fang Mu also put his arms around him, and the two were intimate: "Hunting is dangerous after all, if you can, it's better not to go."

"Then look at the situation and go if there is nothing to do." The main reason is that there are too many uncontrollable things. Chao Yan has not forgotten that he is a brother, and he has the physique to conceive. If he really has one day, he doesn't know. , and ran to do such a dangerous thing, it was really fatal.

"Okay." The family has more than ten taels of silver. As long as it is not such a big expense to build a house, this money will be enough for them to live for two or three years, and he will have wages every month in the future, so there is no need to work so hard for the time being.

But Fang Mu also has to consider that Chaoyan is pregnant in the future. If they have a child, the pressure on the two of them will be much greater, and Chaoyan's pregnancy is hard enough. Fang Mu can't let Chaoyan do laundry, cooking and serving For myself, I have to earn some more money, save it and hire someone to serve Chaoyan for confinement.

As for Xiong Zhong's Fang Mu, he doesn't intend to bother her anymore, so this mother should not bother each other.

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

In the afternoon, Fang Mu went to the village again, and finally blocked Zeng Shi who had just returned home.

When Zeng Shi saw him, he remembered the pain that day.

Although he had no evidence to prove that the person who beat him that day was found by Fang Mu, that person had warned him that he had offended him before he suffered today's pain.

Zeng Shi thought hard and thought about it. During that period of time, the only ones he offended were Chaoyan and Li Huiyuan. Chaoyan asked him to settle accounts that day, and even dared to put a knife on his neck. As for Li Huiyuan, he is even less courageous.

So he thought over and over again, this person is either Fang Mu or Qiao Song.

But he has no evidence, even if he votes for the village chief, it's useless.

So Zeng Shi could only suffer from being dumb.

Want to seek revenge from Chaoyan?Just kidding, that is a person who really dares to take a knife, how dare he offend.

Therefore, meeting Fang Mu and Zeng Shi will be as cowardly as possible, without any semblance of a bastard at all.

When Fang Mu saw someone, he immediately asked, "Do you know who the person who stole pigs from my house was the night before yesterday?"

Zeng Shi hurriedly said, "It's not me."

Fang Mu clicked his tongue: "I know it's not you, I asked you if you heard the wind."

Zeng Shidao: "Frankly speaking, everyone is out to mess around. Even if I knew, I couldn't tell you."

"I didn't expect that, you still speak morally."

"It's not a matter of morality or immorality. If I dare to betray others today, they will dare to betray me tomorrow."

Fang Mu raised his eyebrows: "Zeng Shi, if someone in the village lost chickens and ducks, wouldn't you be the first to suspect it? Are you talking about this with me now for fun?"

"It's really not." Zeng Shiyou said bitterly: "The most I can do is to help you tell them to stop thinking about your family."

Fang Mu also knew that he couldn't get anything out of his mouth, so he had to settle for the next best thing: "He should be thankful that he ran fast, otherwise according to the law of the dynasty, if he was caught by Yan Yan that night, he would be cut off." Even the appearance of hands and feet is innocent."

When Zeng Shi heard it, it seemed that the feeling of being stabbed in the neck by a knife reappeared, and he promised with bristling hair: "I will definitely warn them."

"It's better like this." Fang Mu sneered and gave him a sideways glance.

"Don't worry, there will never be a next time." If he didn't swear to the sky and no one would believe him, he really wanted to come.

Fang Mu didn't speak, and left after getting his reply.

When he walked away, Zeng Shi heaved a sigh of relief, feeling regretful in his heart, hating himself for provoking this couple, which made it difficult for him to figure out who was the gangster for a while.

Fang Mu returned to the wasteland, and said to Chaoyan who was cutting sweet potatoes and vines, "I asked Zeng Shi, but he refused to say who that person was."

Chaoyan didn’t have time to deal with it before, but now I have time to cut the half-dried sweet potato vines into small pieces and then dry them. The dried sweet potato vines are convenient for storage and can be kept for a winter, so that the livestock will not run out of food.

Hearing Fang Mu's words, he raised his head and asked, "Does he know who that person is?"

"Looking at his reaction, he should know it, but he also said that he would tell those people so that they are not allowed to come to the house to steal things again."

"is that useful?"

Fang Mu said: "Then don't get caught by me, or I will beat him to be honest."

Chao Yan thought for a while and said, "But since Zeng Shi dares to say that, it should be useful. At least he won't come to the house for a short time, so you can work in the county with peace of mind."

Regarding this matter, Fang Mu still had the same meaning: "We will wait to see the situation after it snows, and now we still go back and forth every day."

Chao Yan nodded, he wished to see Brother Mu every day, what the other party said was exactly what he wanted, how could he be hypocritical and hypocritical, he continued to do his own work, he put the cut sweet potato vines on the bottom, and Put the uncut ones on top and cut them up.

Fang Mu is going to help spread out the installed ones for drying.

Only the villages have grain-drying farms, but the place at home is wide enough to dry them. Anyway, they are used to feed livestock, so it’s okay to get a little dust.

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

Early the next morning, Fang Mu wrapped himself in thick clothes, walked to Qingyuan Town against the increasingly cold wind, and then took a car to the county seat.

I finally got hot from walking, but when I sat on the bullock cart, it started to get cold again. Fang Mu didn’t dare to take it off, because it was easy to catch cold, so he wrapped it around his body and waited until the tailor’s shop to take it off.

He went early, and it was only mid-hour when he arrived in the county, but he went to the tailor's shop, and the tailor's shop was also open.

Do business as early as possible. If any business dares to expose itself to the sun before opening its doors, either it is not short of money, or it is not making money.

It was still early, there were no customers in the tailor shop, Xiao He was cleaning, and Li Yao was using a feather duster to dust off the dust on her clothes.

"Sister." Fang Mu called after entering the door.

Li Yao turned around: "So early?" Seeing that his hands were empty again: "Did you bring any clothes?"

Fang Mudao: "I'll stay at home for the time being, and wait until it snows to see what's going on..." Then he told Li Yao about the thieves at home.

After listening, Li Yao worried, "Is Xiaoyan okay?"

"He's fine, I'm just worried, so I decided to go back and forth every day."

Li Yao nodded to express her understanding: "If this person is caught, he should be sent to the police."

"Well, I'm coming to work today, and you can teach me what to do."

Li Yao put down the feather duster, walked over, held his arm with both hands, looked at him carefully, and said with a smile: "I want to teach you how to be a shopkeeper carefully."

Fang Mu was embarrassed by her teasing like this: "I'm a rough person, I can't be a shopkeeper."

"Nonsense, grandpa can tell me, you are smart, you can teach you how to read and count when you were young."

Fang Mu said: "That's what grandpa taught well."

Li Yao promised: "Don't worry, I was also taught by my grandfather, I promise I'm no worse than his old man, you just follow me and study hard."

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

Although Li Yao said that he has the chance to win, Fang Mu is really a layman when it comes to how to be a shopkeeper.

Being the shopkeeper of a tailor shop is not an easy task. The most basic thing is to be able to sew clothes and know fabrics.

There is no way to make clothes, Fang Mu really can't learn it.

But how to sew clothes, thanks to Grandpa Li, Fang Mu's needlework is no worse than that of Xiu Niang.

As for knowing cloth, Grandpa Li also taught it, not to mention that he went into business later and sold a lot of cloth. As for the material of a piece of cloth, he can tell it at a glance.

But the most important thing is what Li Yao said, you have to know beauty and ugliness.

You have to know what kind of clothes look good with a person's figure and temperament, so that you can successfully persuade customers to complete the transaction.

Whether the patterns on the clothes are flowers or auspicious clouds, birds and animals, you have to know which cloth goes with which embroidery method.

What Fang Mu needs to cultivate most is this knowledge.

Li Yao has been groping in this industry for many years, and she already has her own set of theories. She, the second young mistress of the Qin family, is not for nothing.

So all day long, Fang Mu was learning how to match colors.

When it was time to go home, he came out of the tailor shop in a daze, sat in the bullock cart with his mind empty, and when he got home, he forgot everything.

It feels like I have learned but not learned.

Before he went out, he had told Chaoyan when he would be back, so when he got home, Chaoyan had just finished the meal.

Now it's getting cold and dark quickly, and burning candles is expensive, so it's natural to eat early and rest early.

Fang Mu entered the door with a tired face, startling Chaoyan: "What's wrong?"

Fang Mu said weakly: "Sister, she taught me how to match colors for a day, and now my head hurts."

Thinking that he was not so tired when he was in the business, it seems that he is used to the days when he is used to hands-on, and there is no need to use his brain.

This made Chaoyan feel distressed, so she came up to rub his temples to relax: "It's hard to learn?"

"Fortunately, I'm new to it, and I don't understand it myself, so it will inevitably be confusing."

Chaoyan kissed him, and encouraged: "Take your time, sister didn't want you to learn it right away."

Fang Mu put his arms around him, and sighed, "I just didn't expect that I'm already in my 20s, and I can't escape the fate of studying."

Chao Yan said with a smile: "The old man said that you will learn from time to time, and you are still so young, you should learn more."

Fang Mu kissed him, and said: "It will be good to take a bath in a while, let's eat first, it will be cold later."

Chaoyan hummed, let go of the hand that was massaging him, and went to wash the dishes.

Fang Mu washed his hands, and the two sat together to have dinner.
