Chapter 37 Chapter 37
Blowing out the lamp, the two tried again. With a previous experience and reading the book again, Zhang Fangyuan felt full of confidence, and started to fiddle with it, guessing that this time there should be no problem.
However, when you really get started, everything is wrong, and you really think it's the phrase that you can learn from paper.
The pictures in the atlas are pretty good, they are very quick to read, and there are no words to explain them. I just looked at the gestures of the hands and feet, but I didn't learn anything important. In the end, Xu He was tossed even worse.
Is it still hurting?
Xu He gritted his teeth, his eyes were red: Yeah!
...
Zhang Fangyuan was discouraged again, although he didn't feel well, but hearing Xu He was crying, it made him feel distressed, so he had to stop again.
Xu He almost wanted to become a monk.
The two of them were so conscious that they didn't feel sleepy, which actually made the situation even more embarrassing. After a long while, Xu He asked in a low voice:
Is it because I didn't do well?
Zhang Fangyuan lay flat on one side panting lightly, and said, How could it be?
Is that because you haven't finished watching it?
...
It must be the thief boy selling books who fooled me. It has nothing to do with these things. I will deal with him tomorrow.
Really?
nature.
Xu He was silent for a long time. He lay on his back, pressing his fingers on the bed: Are you going to sleep now? Or... Try again?
Zhang Fangyuan felt sorry for Xu He: Go to sleep now.
Are you angry?
Huh? Why am I angry?
It was hard for Xu He to speak, but the dark room undoubtedly gave him courage: Then why...why didn't you hug me to sleep?
He was not used to it at first, but later he felt that being surrounded by his arms gave him a sense of security. Even when he fell asleep at night, even if his hands and feet were not covered by the quilt, he didn't feel afraid. Moreover, he thought that Zhang Fangyuan would hug him to sleep like that when he was physically and mentally happy.
Right now, he's about to fall asleep by himself, isn't he angry?
Zhang Fangyuan was startled, and suddenly the corners of his mouth twitched, he stopped wandering, and hurriedly moved his body like a dog's leg, and hugged the slender Xu He into his arms again, and the two exhaled at the same frequency. The two people who were tense got closer again.
I'm afraid that I'm not happy because I made you uncomfortable just now, and I'm not willing to let me get so close again.
No. He liked him holding it.
Hearing this, Zhang Fangyuan buried his head and rubbed against Xu He's neck.
The two let go of the grudges in their hearts and embraced each other to sleep.
The next day, Zhang Fangyuan overslept a bit, and when he woke up, he found that the quilt beside him was not warm, so he quickly got up.
Xu He had already prepared breakfast, and the bowls and chopsticks were neatly arranged in the middle hall. He was about to call, when someone came out: Let's eat.
Zhang Fangyuan saw that it was millet porridge and a basket of evenly wrinkled white buns. He was surprised and said, Where did such good buns come from!
Xu He wiped his hands with a smile on his face: I wrapped it this morning.
Zhang Fangyuan reached out his hand to grab it, but Xu He patted his hand: Go and wash your face, the water is ready.
yes.
Buns are made of fat and thin bacon cut into minced pieces, fried in a pan to get oil out, and stuffed with shallots. After the buns are steamed, pinch them from the middle. The fat of the bacon is absorbed by the shallots, and the buns are served with dough After one bite, it is not greasy and fragrant, and it is actually better than the fresh meat stuffed in the city.
Homemade buns, you can put as much stuffing as you want, unlike the bun shop in the city, which has more vegetables and less meat, and the stuffing is only as small as your finger. Of course, in fact, the farmers are reluctant to put a lot of stuffing, but Xu He specially made the buns for Zhang Fangyuan, and it must be for the taste, and the stuffing is more than the city.
Zhang Fangyuan ate three in one go and drank a bowl of porridge. Xu He took a bun and bit it slowly, peeping from time to time to see if the person in front of him ate it to his taste.
This kind of feeling of having food when you get up is very good, but Zhang Fangyuan still said: Why don't you call me when you get up, and don't call me in the future. Making steamed buns is definitely useless, so how early did you get up?
Xu He thought about going out to earn money for a day, so that he could sleep a little longer in the morning, and he was just cooking breakfast and feeding the horses. These tasks were already very relaxing for him.
No problem.
Zhang Fangyuan sighed, and took two more buns into Xu He's bowl: Finish.
Then he turned and went into the bedroom, and after a while he came out with a box and pushed it to Xu He.
The family's money is all here, and you will keep it in the future.
Hearing this, Xu He quickly put down the bun in his hand. The money in the box was obviously something else, not the gift that he received when he got married. He took a cursory look, and found that there were broken silver and copper coins inside, which were obviously all Zhang Fangyuan's belongings. up.
The Xu family has nothing else, but one thing he thinks is good is that most of Xu Changren's money is taken care of by Liu Xianglan. Holding the money in Liu Xianglan's hands is actually not good for him, but it does not prevent people from feeling that they are The couple are in harmony.
Zhang Fangyuan's fourth aunt also teased him and asked him to take care of Zhang Fangyuan. In fact, he also knew that he was just joking. Zhang Fangyuan is such a big man, and he is very strong in the outside world. How can he be a little brother? of.
Now Zhang Fangyuan took all the family money out of his eyes and asked him to take care of it. He was both happy and a little apprehensive.
If you want to buy and do business, it's more convenient to keep the money in your own hands.
It's convenient, but it's even more convenient to spend money. Zhang Fangyuan said with a smile: Isn't it about saving money to open a shop? If the money is always in my hands, then I don't know that I will have to wait until the year of the monkey.
Xu He was a little moved. There were no parents in this family, no children, and there were only the two of them. He still wanted to manage the money, not for any other reason, but to make life at home better.
It's just... He's only been here for a few days, and Zhang Fangyuan has handed over his family fortune to him.
Take it. If you want to buy something in the future, or buy something at home, you can buy it after you withdraw the money yourself. You don't need to ask me for money to buy it again.
Zhang Fangyuan knows the hardships of colleagues asking for money. Ordinary people are not in charge of the money, and the money that can be managed by themselves is mostly the bride price when the husband's family is betrothed, and some dowry given by the family. He knows that with many Due to his temperament, it is impossible for him to have any money in his hand.
No matter how close a person is, asking for money is always a dwarf. When encountering someone with a bad temper, it may depend on his face. He is thick-skinned, and it is easy to ask his wife for money, but Xu He is married after all, and he was not born and bred in Zhang's family after all. He has a withdrawn personality, so he will definitely not be as easy to talk to as he is.
After some persuasion, Xu He hesitated and agreed: Then you can get the money if you need it.
Zhang Fangyuan nodded in satisfaction.
I'll come back early tonight, and I'll bring you a fish to eat, so don't prepare other dishes. Our family needs to eat meat every day. Remember
After the two had breakfast, Zhang Fangyuan was ready to go to the city. He took the food box that Xu He had prepared for him: Don't be too busy doing a lot of work at home.
Yeah. Xu He thought that fish is not as expensive as meat, so he didn't stop Zhang Fangyuan: That night, we will use wild vegetables to make fish.
After watching the carriage getting farther and farther away under the dawn, he suddenly lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth before turning back to the house. There were still seven or eight buns left, and he was going to pack them up and give some to Xiaomao and his family.
Seeing the money box symbolizing the family's financial power again, he sat down and tidied up the messy money box. There were one tael of silver and more than a thousand copper coins. The total is not much, not even as much as the bride price for marrying him, but it has exceeded his expectations.
Zhang Fangyuan spends so much money, and he can still have so much money on the basis of buying horses and getting married, which shows that he is really good at making money.
He carefully put the money back into the bedroom. Now that they are married, they don't have any big expenses for the time being. If they save money honestly, their life will get better and better.
Happy in his heart, he went to Zhang Shicheng's house to deliver things and was ready to dig wild vegetables. Xiaomao also wanted to go with him after hearing about it, thinking that multiple people could be company, so he agreed. With a basket on the back, one set off with the basket in hand.
Sister-in-law, I've wanted to come and play with you these few days, but my parents won't let me come.
Xu He frowned upon hearing this: Why?
Mother said that my sister-in-law and cousin A Yuan just got married, so she told me not to bother.
Xu He pursed his lips when he heard the words, and his eyes softened: No, if I didn't go to the city to sell vegetables, you can just come and find me.
That's great! Zhang Xiaomao was jumping happily, and the basket on his arm was also dangling left and right, Xu He didn't have a carefree at this age.
Xu He's mood also broadened with the joy of the child.
The last time Xu He and Zhang Fangyuan went up the mountain together, the wild vegetables on the hillside were dug up by the couple. Today he decided to dig on another hillside. The thorny sprouts sold in the city yesterday were quite good. For sale, he thought he could find more this time.
He Geer!
The steps of the cousin and sister-in-law were brisk, and the one who wanted to call the two of them chased after him. Xu He turned around when he heard the sound: Mother?
Liu Xianglan was out of breath, and opened her mouth to curse: It's amazing to be married! Seeing your old lady busy in the field, she didn't even say hello.
I didn't see it.
Who knows if you really didn't see it or if you didn't see it!
Xu He didn't bother to argue with Liu Xianglan about these useless things here, and instead asked, Is there something wrong?
Liu Xianglan straightened her waist: Your second sister's marriage with the Fei family has been settled, on the eighth day of April!
It's already late March, Xu He calculated: That's not much time left.
Liu Xianglan didn't ask for help at all: You also know that there are not many days! The family is busy preparing wedding clothes for your sister right now, and you have to take care of the dowry and other things. You are very busy. If you are free I just came back to help the family with some errands, mowed the grass and drove the ducks back home. It was almost April, and the two fields hadn’t been sown with rice seedlings yet. I’m afraid it would be too late to grow seedlings, and the left and right are not far away. You Quick hands and feet, it’s nothing to go to work.”
Seeing that Liu Xianglan's hair was a little messy, Xu He knew that he used to comb his hair very neatly when he was at home. It really seemed that he was a little dizzy, but: If I'm free, I'll come back to help, The problem is that the family is busy now.
What are you busy with? Don't think that I don't know that Zhang Fangyuan's fields are all managed by his fourth uncle. If you are too busy, just ask someone for help. I heard that you went to the city with Zhang Fangyuan yesterday. I’m selling wild vegetables here, I have free time to sell wild vegetables, I don’t have time to help the family! Your father is still lying on the bed, don’t forget that he used the money to buy you wedding clothes, white-eyed wolf!”
Mom, I haven't heard anyone say that earning money is a nostalgia. Xu He said coldly: It may not be only the second sister's marriage that is a problem, but my husband's is not a problem! They are all married, and what is the matter? If you expect me to go to my mother's house to do the work of mowing grass and feeding the animals, then I might as well take the animals to Zhang's family. Could it be that the second sister's limbs are broken, so she can't do the housework?
Liu Xianglan got a toothache from Xu He's mocking sarcasm: You little bastard, it would be great to have a butcher backing you up! Now you know how to avoid laziness, and you won't work hard when you get married. It's no wonder that you hate you, whoever will leave you alone at that time, so don't come home and cry.
Sister-in-law, let's go. Xiao Mao saw that Liu Xianglan was so unreasonable, he didn't want to say hello to his elders, so he pulled Xu He to leave: It's not easy to dig vegetables when the sun comes out. gone.
What's the matter with you!
When Liu Xianglan saw the little brother who was helping Xu He, she opened her mouth and scolded Zhang Xiaomao.
Now my cousin is a member of our Zhang family, if you scold him again, I will tell him that you bullied my cousin when A Yuan comes back!
Cousin, let's go!
Zhang Xiaomao childishly took Xu He's hand and ran away. Xu He was taken by the steps and ran along. The one stomped on the spot and cursed.
