husband, he picked it up [farming]

In addition to visiting the old and welcoming the new during the New Year, there are also visits to relatives and friends.

Especially this year Fang Mu has just married his husband, so he pays more attention to this point.

In the past few days of the new year, although Fang Mu didn't have many relatives and friends, he still took Chaoyan to congratulate a few friends on the new year.

In previous years, he came by himself, but this year he brought his newlyweds, and both Qiao's father, Qiao's mother and Li Yao gave red envelopes to Chaoyan.

As for Fang Lin's family who gave gifts years ago, there is no need to go there specially, only the two children gave lucky money on New Year's Eve.

Not to mention Xiong Zhongshi's side, Fang Mu never thought of it after giving the gift.

It was Xiong Yingtian who came to pay New Year's greetings to the two elder brothers (brother-in-law) and sister-in-law.

He was still young, so Chao Yan returned a red envelope to him.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Huiyuan, who was free, came to play with Chao Yan.

When it comes to playing, it means going into the village to chat with friends.

Although Chaoyan is a husband, she still has a youthful spirit when facing Li Huiyuan. He has been by Fang Mu's side throughout the New Year without getting bored.

Naturally, Fang Mu would not stop him from going to the village, and he also hoped that Chao Yan would go out for a walk more, and don't just stay at home like him.

As soon as Chaoyan went out, the small room became even more silent. Fortunately, Fang Mu himself was a deserted person, and he was used to this kind of boredom.

He also didn't want to go to the village, otherwise he would go out with Chaoyan.

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

Chaoyan didn't come back from playing until the afternoon. When he entered the room, Fang Mu, who had nothing to do, was peeling peanuts.

The sieve for peanuts is placed on the square table, with unpeeled peanuts on one side and peanut shells on the other side. The peeled peanuts are mixed in and picked after peeling.

They didn't plant them last year, so they still asked Fang Lin for the peanuts.

Since the seeds will be planted after spring, the seeds must be prepared in advance.

"Brother Mu, I'm back." The Chaoyan man arrived before the sound of entering the door.

Fang Mu kept moving his hands, while looking up at the door.

Chao Yan's figure came in from the door, Fang Mu asked him, "Where did you go?"

He is wearing the winter coat that Fang Mu asked Li Yao to sew for him today. It is a bean green style, and the green color is bright and refreshing, which is most suitable for Chaoyan's age.

He is tall and slender, and he can wear heavy winter clothes without losing his shape, but this color makes him more energetic. Chao Yan came back after playing outside for a long time, young and full of anger, and did not feel cold.

His face was still red.

He and Fang Mu have been married for more than half a year, if they change to another house, how can the husband be busy at home, and the reason why the husband goes out to play, if you let others know, you will definitely be envious.

Chaoyan herself didn't notice anything, Fang Mu has always loved him, and he is gentle and considerate. The two have been married for so long, and they have never agreed and disagreed except for bed matters.

Fang Mu is a bit older, and he is a person who has experienced wind and rain. Compared with young people of his age, he is more tolerant, and Chaoyan is upright, and he is more open-minded when getting along with Fang Mu. Willing to think for him, this makes everyone who knows them know that this is a loving couple.

Chao Yan sat down opposite him and poured water to drink, glanced at the peanuts in the sieve, and replied, "I didn't go anywhere, I was watching old men playing chess at the entrance of the village."

Fang Mu laughed and said, "Watching people play chess for half a day?"

"No, I went to see it after chatting with Huiyuan's friends for a while."

Li Huiyuan's friends are all the same age as him. Although Chaoyan is only two years older than him, due to family reasons, Chaoyan is more mature than Li Huiyuan. He likes to play with Li Huiyuan, but it doesn't mean he also likes to play with other people.

After all, bringing a younger brother is different from bringing many younger brothers.

Although Fang Mu didn't like to go to the village very much, but the Chinese New Year was the most leisure time for everyone, and most of the men gathered together to drink and chat.

Chao Yan is not good at it, so naturally she can't play with these people.

It's really better to watch the old men play chess.

Fang Mu said: "After two days, when the shops in the town open, you can also go shopping in the town."

"You go too."

"Okay." As long as Chao Yan wanted it, Fang Mu would agree no matter what.

There are two meals a day during the Chinese New Year, because there is no work for big fish and meat, and the stomach does not feel hungry, so every family chooses to eat early and get together before resting.

Before it was time to cook, Chao Yan followed him to peel peanuts together: "This year, let me catch up, when the time comes, I will turn over all the land to plant peanuts, and press oil for the rest except for food. "Last year when he met Fang Mu, the spring plowing had already passed, so the first half of the plowing season was wasted. This time the timing is just right, and there will be no need to buy oil for food in the future.

"Success, you can go to work in the fields in the future, and I will be with you when the time comes."

Chao Yan hummed.

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

Fertilize on the sixth day of the new year, and you can start to prepare for farming today.

If the wasteland at home is to be filled with peanuts and beans, the two have to plow the land early.

After all, it relies on four hands, so it will take a little time.

Thanks to the good snow last year, we can have a good harvest this year.

The ground, which had been covered with snow for a whole winter, was damp, and it was not difficult for the two of them to turn over.

After a busy day, I was still sweating in such a cold day.

On the morning of the seventh day of the second day, the couple went to the town to buy some fresh ingredients and came back to eat.

After eating stewed meat for so many days, the two of them got tired of it, so they bought a fish and went back to make soup.

In the afternoon, digging continued.

It was like this until the Lantern Festival. On the day of the Lantern Festival, there were dragon dances in the town during the day and a lantern show at night. It was the first time for Chao Yan to celebrate the New Year in Xishui Village. Fang Mu took the trouble to take him to see it.

This is also the last day of the holiday, and Fang Mu has to go to work as soon as the Lantern Festival is over.

It was just after the new year, and the weather was still cold, but the snow had not fallen, so Fang Mu went out without a bamboo hat and coir raincoat, walked to the town, and took a bullock cart to the county seat.

The opening red envelope was accepted when he came a few days ago, but Li Yao didn't refuse to give it because of his late arrival.

In fact, the tailor's shop had opened long ago, but Li Yao asked him to rest at home for a few more days and told him not to start work until he was sixteen.

Originally, according to the friendship between the two, Fang Mu shouldn't see outsiders like this, but the family has to rush to clear the land before Jingzhe, so these days he ran on both sides, even if he went to work early, he didn't report it every day, but Go only when you have time, and come back early in the afternoon to help.

Once the ground has been turned over, it must be ready for planting.

At the beginning of spring, the wind is warm and the sun is warm, and everything grows. Buds and flower buds bloom quietly on the branches, and many flowers bloom by accident. At this time, every family is also busy planting seeds.

The villagers took off their heavy winter clothes, put on convenient jackets, and started working in the fields.

In those few days, the fields were full of people gathering together, raising seedlings and raking the ground, and they were very busy.

In the middle and late February, the wasteland was finally planted with peanuts and beans.

Chaoyan didn't want to waste this land, so he planted it all.

There are a lot of vegetables that can be grown in the first half of the year. Chaoyan arranged the vegetables that should be planted in this season first, and planted these two for the rest, even the gaps in the fruit field.

Far from the crown and roots of the tree, Chao Yan planted peanuts. Although the amount is not much, it is possible to grow some.

After half a month of busy work, the little meat he managed to raise during the New Year was gone.

Fang Mu has to go to work, so there is not much he can do to help.

Especially since he still has to rush to both sides of the county and town at home, the time is even less.

But knowing that Chaoyan is busy, he would wake up earlier in the morning, make breakfast by himself, and wash the clothes by the way, just to let Chaoyan sleep for a while.

Because Chaoyan has been busy working in the field for the past half month, Fang Mu didn't bother him much.

Not only did Fang Mu not complain, but he felt sorry for his hard work.

At the same time, the date of Li Huiyuan and Qiao Song's marriage has been set, which is August, after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It's still early to get married, but Qiao Song is already busy with their future lives.

He still runs a business with Song Sheng, and one-third of the money he earns is handed over to the public school, and the rest is saved, but he rarely finds Fang Mu for drinks. He used to drink once a month, but now it becomes once every two months. .

Fang Mu didn't like drinking at all, so he felt more relaxed. Knowing that Qiao Song changed his drinking problem for the sake of a better life for the two of them in the future, Fang Mu was still happy for him.

In the past six months, not only has Fang Mu and Chaoyan's love been stronger than gold, but the relationship between the fiancee has also grown by leaps and bounds.

With Chaoyan's guidance, Li Huiyuan dared to express his thoughts in front of Qiao Song. Qiao Song envied Fang Mu and Chaoyan's relationship, and also followed suit, encouraging him to be a good husband.

It was because he was willing to change that Li Huiyuan took a fancy to him.

The two also ran into each other by mistake, not only Qiao Song was running ahead alone, Li Huiyuan was also doing his best, he was also preparing for marriage, doing everything he could to earn money thing.

Chun Ri went to the mountains with Chao Yan to collect mushrooms and sell them, but there were many people with the same idea, and several times they returned empty-handed.

But even if there are only a few words, Li Huiyuan is happy.

He is not Fang Mu and Qiao Song, he does not have the ability to run a business, nor does Chao Yan know how to hunt. He is very ordinary and cannot make a lot of money. The only thing he can show is his hard work.

He is diligent and tireless, and he has a goal. He hopes to save a hundred cash before getting married.

After Zhao Yan knew his goal, instead of laughing at him, she also tried her best to help him.

It's like looking for fungus, Li Huiyuan will accompany him into the mountains if he proposes it.

I will also take him to set up some small animals for sale.

When you are lucky, you can catch pheasants and rabbits. If you are not lucky, it may be a few ants that fell into the pit.

However, Li Huiyuan never complained or was discouraged. When there was no harvest, he went to collect firewood and grass, and when there was harvest, he happily carried it to the town to sell.

Then the money from the sale is shared equally with Chao Yan.

Because of him, Chaoyan also made some money herself during the one month period from the end of February to April.

Not much, not even enough for the family's monthly expenses, but he had no way of getting money from the fields around him.

Because spring does not go to the mountains to hunt, spring is the day when all things grow, and animals multiply in this season. Even if the hunters in the village go to the mountains, they will not hunt on a large scale. There are even rules. The mothers are not killed, and the pregnant ones are not killed. , The small ones are not killed.

Under such circumstances, they naturally would not ask the Venerable Master to share their share of the pie.

So Chaoyan has less chance to make money.

But it will be summer soon, when wild beasts may come down the mountain and affect the crops, the Orion will conduct a hunt, and Chao Yan can follow.

During this period of time, he was farming, chopping firewood and grass at home during the day, or earning a little money with Li Huiyuan.

At night, I 'fight' with Fang Mu on the bed, which is also very busy.

After Chaoyan's careful cultivation, the crops in the field have sprouted and grown strong, and his hard work was not in vain.

The wasteland is different every few days. At the beginning, it is just a piece of light green. After a few days, the green becomes more and darker. After a few days, it becomes a green ocean.

When the spring breeze blows, it rises and falls like waves.

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

In the blink of an eye, it was summer, and Chao Yan waited day and night for Xia Lie to finally arrive.

Zhang Min came to inform him that he was going to hunt in Changling Mountain tomorrow.

They need to get rid of some before the summer harvest.

Chaoyan was just waiting, and he told Fang Mu about it when he came back that night.

In all fairness, Fang Mu didn't want him to take such a risk, but he also knew that Chaoyan was shut up at home and circled the stove and the field all day long. Deprived, I can only agree against my will.

Agreeing means agreeing, but I also told him not to take any risks.

Chao Yan's heart was so excited to be able to go hunting, but when he saw the worry hidden in Fang Mu's eyebrows, he made a promise: "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively, you take care of home, I will wait a few days I'll be back someday."

Hearing his words, Fang Mu couldn't laugh or cry, he didn't expect that one day, he would be alone in the empty boudoir.
