Chapter 11 Dumplings

Liu Yechen was a little uneasy.

Fang Shujing comforted him: "It's okay, there are no taboos."

Xiao Liu walked in front, Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen followed behind. Fang said: "I'll go over and help." After that, he followed.

The neighbors around looked at it curiously and said, "Everything is fine, why don't we go over and have a look."

They responded quickly and soon arrived at the house built by the Liu family at the foot of the mountain. Their family was originally a hunter. In the past, I could get some mountain goods by running around the mountains. When Brother Liu was in good health, he didn't even have to go to the county town to sell meat. He just brought it into the village and it was sold out.

At that time, when Mrs. Liu got married, many people were jealous. But I didn't expect that something unexpected would happen. After her husband was paralyzed by Xu Ziyang, she sought medical advice and prescribed many medicines, but nothing worked.

A lot of money was spent, but the disease was not cured.

Seeing that she was having trouble living her life, her parents-in-law urged her to remarry, but she refused. If he remarries, Brother Liu, who is paralyzed in bed, will have no choice but to wait for death.

In the past few years since the two got married, there have been some sweet and sweet days. It was because of the good things she had done in the past few years that she was able to live her life now, but now Xiao Liu has absolutely no choice.

The Fang family was extremely kind to them, not to mention that Xu Ziyang was not a child of the Fang family, so she planned to come here for the last time. If you don't get through, just follow the child and get over it, and you will have a companion on the road to hell.

Liu Yechen said he was a doctor. Xiao Liu didn't believe it in her heart. Liu Yechen was too young, and now he could only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Surrounded by the villagers, he came to the Liu family's house. Although they lived a poor life, they were clean. There are two chickens at home, and they eat only vegetable leaves. The chickens look thin and have no meat.

"Mom."

Two little beans came out, both of them were thinner than their peers.

Little Mrs. Liu touched this one and then that one and said, "Are you good?" She only looked like a loving mother to her children.

The little Douding of the Liu family said: "Yes, dad even praised me as a good boy."

When the surrounding villagers entered, they found that the once brave and mighty man was now reduced to a handful of bones. The kitchen is clean, and even the most hard-hearted people can't stand it now, so they quietly turn around and go home to find some old whole grains, which are not very delicious but can fill their stomachs.

Little Liu said to Brother Liu, "This is Dr. Liu, here to see you."

Liu Yechen checked his pulse, and there was silence around him.

After Liu Yechen's first diagnosis, he wanted to take a look at his legs. When I saw that Brother Liu was not shrinking even though his legs were too thin, he said, "I'll give him some acupuncture first, and then take a medicinal bath."

Liu Yechen always had a few golden needles on his body. He pulled it out directly, holding the needle in his hand. He flicked it, and the needle penetrated half an inch into the flesh. The people around him took a breath, and they didn't even see how he took action just now.

Liu Yechen pricked a few needles in his legs, and he picked up a needle and twisted it gently.

I saw Brother Liu's leg lifted heavily as if out of control.

Xiao Liu looked on in shock.

She has visited many doctors over the years. But my husband seemed to be unconscious from the waist down. Even the famous doctors felt helpless.

Now Liu Yechen's injection actually made him react. He quickly said to Brother Liu: "How is it?"

Brother Liu said: "Numb and soreness." His eyes were also a little excited.

When Little Liu heard what Brother Liu said, she knelt on the ground and said, "Doctor Liu, please save him." Hope emerged from the bottom of her heart. As long as he could resume his movements, even if he couldn't work, it would be fine. The two of them can make ends meet.

Liu Yechen was startled.

Fang Shujing quickly pulled the person up and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, we will do our best."

The surrounding villagers also opened their eyes wide, as if they had recognized Liu Yechen again.

Brother Liu has been paralyzed for so long that some old doctors said there was nothing he could do to save his life, but he was able to make his legs move again.

Liu Yechen pulled out the needle and said to Xiao Liu: "Thankfully, Brother Fang's legs are massaged more often. I will inject them for seven days in a row and take a hot bath, and I should be able to recover slowly."

Xiao Liu is very kind. Thank you, and then with a blush, he handed the one tael of silver he had just received from the Fang family to Fang and said, "Aunt, since he is so nice, you can take the money back!" Originally, Xu Ziyang was not a child of the Fang family who got the money. The name doesn't make sense.

Mrs. Fang said: "You can keep it and buy some good supplements for the child. No matter what happens, you have to live a good life." He touched her hand and it turned out that she was so thin.

Many villagers outside also came back, some bringing wild vegetables and some bringing whole grains. There are also two eggs.

Xiao Liu used to be like a hedgehog when faced with cold looks, but when faced with everyone's gentle kindness, she cried like a tearful person.

...

When Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen were together, everyone thought that Liu Yechen was trying to get ahead, but now it suddenly changed.

Liu Yechen gave Brother Liu acupuncture for several days, and after taking a bath, he was able to stand up miraculously. I can walk with a crutch. Although my legs are still weak, they are much better than before.

Xiao Liu was so grateful that she wanted to kowtow to him.

He was stopped by Fang Shujing.

The villagers used to think that he was just a barefoot doctor who could see his minor problems with headaches and fever. Now they think about it, Liu Yechen usually doesn't show off his skills, but he is quite capable.

They all sighed: "Fang Shujing is indeed a child raised in the county. He is smart." If he hadn't made the engagement in advance. There must be many people who want to get married to Liu Yechen recently.

Fang Shujing went to the butcher today to cut two pounds of meat and made dumplings at home. Xu Quan was very happy beside him. From the noodles to the stuffing, the young master made it himself. He hasn't cooked for a long time. It was cooked just now, so he took one out and said it was salty, but it was so delicious that he almost bit off his tongue.

So delicious.

Fang Shujing said: "Give a plate of these dumplings to the old house. Give a plate to Liu Yechen, and we will eat the rest."

Two kilograms of dumplings are filled with pure meat, which is more than sixty when wrapped.

Xu Quan, a half-grown boy with a big appetite, said pitifully: "Master, is there enough for the two of us? Why don't I steam a pot of steamed buns and just make dumplings!"

Fang Shujing looked at it and said angrily and amusedly: "There is still more in the casserole. There is a pot of fish and seafood porridge."

Xu Quan's eyes lit up when he heard it. He said: "Master, you are the best." He happily went to deliver the dumplings to the old house.

The dumplings are all white and fat, and the fillings inside are tightly packed into a ball, like a solid meatball. The white taste is already delicious. If you dip it in a little vinegar sauce, it will be really delicious.

Soon he went to the old house, Xu Quan said: "Madam."

Fang was cooking in the kitchen and came over quickly when she heard his voice. She has always been an out-and-out farmer, a master's wife, which makes people laugh when she talks about it, but Xu Quan couldn't change his words for a long time, so he had to let him go: "What's wrong?"

Xu Quan said: "The young master made dumplings and asked me to give them to him. You bring it." There are eighteen in one plate, and they are made of fine white flour.

Fang said: "We won't eat it, take it back." During this period, Fang Shujing had already spent a lot of money to find a wife. Fang didn't know what kind of job copying books was, but she thought it must be extremely hard to make money. Finally had a delicious meal. They should stop joining in the fun!

Xu Quan said, "That is not what the young master personally ordered. If I take it back later, the young master will definitely think that I am greedy and want to scold me."

Fang said casually: "Then you go and deliver it to Xiao Liu. ".

Xu Quan smiled and said, "The young master will personally deliver the young lady's share."

Fang took the plate of dumplings and asked, "Does he always go to Xiaoliu now?"

Xu Quan didn't know why, and said, "Three times a day. "Always cook for the young lady. He also grabbed a lot of delicious food next to him. Before setting off, I looked at the big face in the bronze mirror and felt fat.

Fang frowned.

Ever since he identified Liu Yechen, his son always wanted to abduct people back home. Now that we are engaged, it will be his sooner or later, why are you so anxious?

After receiving the palanquin, Xu Quan was still waiting to go back to eat seafood porridge. After it was delivered, he went back in a hurry.

The Fang family cooks boiled wild vegetables, which are not delicious and can only barely fill their stomachs.

But today a plate of dumplings appeared on the table.

Brother Fang said: "Mom, are you making dumplings today?" It's not the New Year, but you're making delicious ones?

Fang said: "I can't bear to part with this fine-grain white flour. It was sent by your brother."

When Father Fang mentioned Fang Shujing, there was a hint of pride on his face and said, "I didn't expect him to make this again. Our family is so skilled ." What a coincidence."

Then he picked one up and ate it.

After one bite, the supreme deliciousness blooms on the tip of the tongue and quickly spreads to the entire mouth. After eating boiled vegetables and multi-grain rice without any oil or water for so many days. After taking a big bite of the dumplings stuffed with meat, a sense of happiness surged from my chest and I couldn't stop it.

"It's delicious." Father Fang is not picky about food and can eat all kinds of dishes. If you ask him how it tastes, he will always say "it's okay." This is the first time that the words "delicious" have come out of his mouth.

The rating is too high.

Everyone also took a bite.

A man of few words like Brother Fang couldn't help but say: "This is the most delicious dumpling I have ever eaten." If he could eat like this every day, he would be satisfied for the rest of his life.

Mrs. Fang also felt that the dumplings were very fragrant and even better than her own. But people who are used to being thrifty can't help but say, "How much meat and oil do you need to put in this?" A meal of dumplings is enough to last for seven days. She recently discovered that Fang Shujing's hands and feet are too big. I'm afraid that he won't be a rich man and I don't know how expensive firewood and rice are! If you spend all your money now, what will you do if you can't make any money in the future?

After all, Father Fang had been sleeping with him for many years, and he immediately understood his inner worries and said, "Don't worry, he is capable."

He said this, but he refused to give in at all when it came to eating dumplings. people. It's hard to find something so delicious. If Brother Fang dares to rob him, he will be scolded.

So Brother Fang got scolded for the first time in his life because of a plate of dumplings.

Everyone didn't eat enough. They smacked their mouths and felt that they could still taste some dumplings. If they hadn't eaten this dumpling meal, they would have eaten any food, but this dumpling meal suddenly whetted their appetite.

Father Fang said: "Let's buy some meat tomorrow and make some dumplings."

Mrs. Fang laughed and scolded: "You old ghost is really greedy, no." When the money came into her hands, she wished she could break it into eight pieces for a penny. flower. She couldn't bear to eat dozens of yuan in one meal.

After finishing the meal, she cleared the dishes and got up to find Fang Shujing.

When I went there, Fang Shujing and Xu Quan had just finished eating. Xu Quan wrapped up the remaining half of the casserole of seafood porridge. I can't even walk anymore!

Seeing his mother coming, Fang Shujing said, "What's wrong?"

Madam Fang pulled him into the room and said, "Don't go to Liu Yechen before we get married. After all, he is a brother who is getting married. You go too often, right?" He has a bad reputation!

Fang Shujing said: "We have always adhered to etiquette and did not do anything out of the ordinary. "

Ms. Fang breathed a sigh of relief quietly and said, "Then why do you keep looking for him? " "

It happened that Liu Yechen got a roast chicken at noon and wanted to bring it to Fang Shujing to drink with. Xu Quan was happy to see the young lady coming to see the young master. He smiled and said hello and let him in. Liu Yechen was about to knock on the door. He heard Fang's voice at the door. He was still a little afraid of his mother-in-law.

He hesitated for a moment and then heard Fang Shujing say: "He is too thin, give him some weight." "My daughter-in-law is in pain. His daughter-in-law prepares and prepares medicine every day. She is exhausted all by herself.

Fang didn't expect him to say this. It's good to know that he didn't mess around. She really agreed to what Father Fang said." In short, she was just worrying.

She smiled and said, "Okay, it will be easier to have children in the future if you gain weight!" "

Mom..." Fang Shujing was still embarrassed.

Liu Yechen's cheeks turned red when he heard this. He left the place shyly without putting down the food box.

Chapter 12 Iron pot stewed chicken

Xu Ziyang has been drunk and dreaming every day since she entered the city. The beauties she had never dared to think about before are now in her arms. She eats and drinks so often that she has gained weight and looks greasy.

He was having a heated fight with the girl when Bi Mo came in and said respectfully, "Master."

Bi Mo was now the most proud person around Xu Ziyang. That girl was also very discerning and stood aside politely when she saw her coming!

Xu Ziyang said: "What's the matter?" Since he was embarrassed by Feng Ziyan last time, he has become less and less interested in her. Now don't talk to the Feng family at all and hang out with the maids at home.

His attitude was so cold and hard, which shocked the Feng family. He was looking for someone to make peace with and bowed to him. He thought Bi Mo came to intercede with the Feng family again this time. The Feng family has been following Bi Mo's path recently. .

Bi Mo made a windfall and took care of him, which made him feel more and more comfortable.

Bi Mo said: "There is a man named Ergou outside. He said he is your friend in the village. He has something important to tell you."

Xu Ziyang thought for a long time before he remembered who this Ergou was. He said: "No." In the past, the two of them had a similar odor, and Ergou treated him as a follower. But now he is the son of the Xu family, and not just any cat or dog can get close to him. I was still slightly dissatisfied in my heart, why should I bring such a person to him?

Bi Mo noticed Xu Ziyang's displeasure, and quickly nodded and said: "Master, I scolded him, saying who our young master is, how could he let you see him. But he said there was news about Fang Shujing. I'll report it to you."

When Xu Ziyang heard Fang Shujing's name, he immediately got up from the bed and said, "Let him bring him to see me." Fang Shujing will always be a thorn in his heart. He wants to see this Ergou. What to say to him.

Bi Mo knew that Xu Ziyang would react this way, and immediately went out to bring the person in.

The Xu family opened a shop in the county town with several generations of savings. There are pavilions and pavilions in this courtyard, and there are exotic flowers and rockeries in the courtyard. There is also a carp pond, and even the arches on the corridor are so elegant that the two dogs don't know which foot to take when walking.

He looked straight all the way.

It turns out that this is how rich people live. From time to time, beautiful women walked by. I heard they are all maids from wealthy families. Ergou felt sour in his heart. He didn't expect that Xu Ziyang had such luck. Why didn't he have such a good life?

Went to Xu Ziyang's house. Ergou felt that he had walked a long way to get there. His eyes were full of greed and envy. He looked at Xu Ziyang and gave him a gift that was neither earthy nor foreign.

Xu Ziyang wanted to show off to his former partners, so he directly grabbed the girl next to him. Hearing a soft cry, the girl sat in his arms!

Ergou had long heard that girls in the city were things for their owners to enjoy as they pleased. But nothing was as shocking as what he saw with his own eyes.

Xu Ziyang kneaded the girl with one hand, picked up a wine glass with the other, took a sip, and said, "Tell me."

Ergou said, "Fang Shujing is getting married to Liu Yechen."

Xu Ziyang said, "He is getting married. Just get married. What does it have to do with me? "Besides, Liu Yechen doesn't go out much. He was almost killed by his poisonous needle just for a look. He didn't dare to marry such a vicious brother.

Ergou started to talk about how rich the Fang family was now and how good-looking Liu Yechen was, which annoyed Xu Ziyang: "Bi Mo, see the guests off." He kept Ergou as an informant in the village because he wanted to listen to him Not having a good time. In the end, I don't know whether he was really stupid or pretending to be stupid, but he actually said how nice Fang Shujing was in the country.

Ergou was kicked out with a confused look on his face. He wanted to get some benefits from his former brother but was kicked out before he even opened his mouth. When I walked out of Xu's house, I took a deep breath on the ground. What a damn villain.

...

Since Fang Shujing's wife ran away last time, he had to coax him for a long time before he got his shy soon-to-be wife back. Make delicious food for him in different ways every day. Fang Shujing's cooking skills were specially consulted with others and everyone agreed after eating them.

Fang Shujing now has some money, so naturally he won't skimp on food and drink. Today he made chicken stew in an iron pot. He lives a bit far from the center of the village. But the dogs in the village were tortured, and the dogs barked so loudly that the villagers were so frightened that they thought the bears that had gone up the mountain had entered the village.

The aroma fills the air. An eight-pound rooster fills more than half of the pot. It is first fried in oil and then the ingredients are added. With a little bit of sugar added to make it fresh, it looks oily and brown in color, making it appetizing.

Xu Quan just stayed in the kitchen and watched the pot, swallowing his saliva from time to time because of the aroma.

Like a cat guarding its food, it remained motionless. Fang Shujing was amused. He took out a piece of meat with the skin on and put it in a small bowl and said, "Try it."

Xu Quan's eyes suddenly lit up and he didn't care. He stretched out his hand and started fishing. It was so hot that it was hissing and he refused to let go. His mouth was full of oil when he ate it: "It smells good." A chicken cost one hundred and twenty cents, and he inquired that it was only eaten during the Chinese New Year in the village. It was his young master who was kind to him. Every time, the biggest and fattest piece was fished out for him.

Fang Shujing said: "Go and invite Xiao Liu over." If he goes, Liu Yechen will be too embarrassed to come. Fortunately, there was Xu Quan running errands among them.

Xu Quan is very enthusiastic about the young lady. He also wants the young lady to come in as soon as possible and give birth to the young master as soon as possible. I wiped my hands and face and went out.

After a while, Xu Quan and Liu Yechen came in together.

Liu Yechen could smell the fragrance as soon as he walked in. He really liked Fang Shujing, and he was very happy to know that he and Xu Ziyang, that annoying guy, were back together. Knowing that he was very poor when he came back, he had already prepared for a poor life, but here he made delicious food every day. Not what he thought!

Fang Shujing said to Xu Quan: "That plate on the table is sent to the old house, and the other one is yours."

Xu Quan was so happy when he saw it. His favorite chicken heads and chicken wings were all there. It must have been specially fished for him. I want to send it over quickly so that I can eat it when I get back!

He ran away in a flash, and Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen were the only ones left in the room.

...

At the Fang family's old house, Fang had already prepared food. She asked them several times to come over to eat, but they all said they were busy.

Fang couldn't help it. There were so many people ordering cabinets now, so Father Fang went to a lumberjack he knew well and bought a lot of good wood. A yard was set up. Working day and night, all this is money. She felt bad that the two of them had to do a little better in terms of food. This time I was a little more willing to use oil. But the two of them didn't seem to buy it very much. After a while, they heard Xu Quan's voice: "Master, madam, my young master brought you dishes!"

After hearing this, Fang hurried over and placed a plate on the bottom with Cover it with a plate to keep it warm and not be seen by others. Fang opened it and saw, oh, what a big plate of chicken. How much oil and soy sauce was used to create this flavor. He felt distressed for a moment, and then said: "Okay, I will send the plate over later." Xu Quan said: "No, I will pick it up in the evening."

Fang carried it into the house and immediately picked out half a plate of good meat for his next meal Stewing some vermicelli and mushrooms is another delicious dish. Her son is filial and never forgets to bring a portion of whatever he eats. This is the first time in the whole village.

Soon Father Fang and Brother Fang came in and said, "Let's eat."

Mrs. Fang finally understood and scolded with a smile: "Isn't it because you are not hungry? Do you think the food at home is not good?"

Father Fang said. "I can smell the cooking in the yard today!"

Brother Fang also said, "Mom, the food made by my little brother is delicious."

Mrs. Fang said: "Since he came back, our family's life has been getting better and better." Fang Shujing delivers food to them every now and then to help them improve their lives. Seeing that the faces of the Fang family are getting rosier and their bodies are getting stronger day by day. . Don't look at her saying that the father and son are greedy. In fact, Fang is also greedy. He said: "We can't let him spend money like this every day. Tomorrow let's cut a pound of meat into some dumplings stuffed with cabbage and send them to your brother."

When Brother Fang and Father Fang heard this, they immediately became excited.

Eating so well every day has never occurred to me before!

Chapter 13 is the feeling of heartbeat

Fang Shujing also had a nest of hares at home. He focused all his energy on writing stories and did not raise them intensively. When he remembered, he changed a basin of water and grabbed a handful of grass, but all the rabbits grew fat. Fat and strong. The largest rabbit weighs more than seven kilograms, and the smaller rabbit weighs three or four kilograms.

Fang Shujing sold the rabbit directly to Brother Liu, the Orion, who lived on the land and had no land in the village. They know how to handle this rabbit. When Xiao Liu saw this nest of rabbits, he felt as if he had found a treasure. The rabbits that were raised can be killed for meat. The fur can still be saved to be made into rabbit fur coats and scarves. The drug store also collects blind rabbits. They can make a full-time business out of this litter of rabbits.

Xiao Liu was very grateful to him and Liu Yechen. She wanted to give money but Fang Shujing didn't want it, saying that if she had any rabbit fur, she could keep it for him.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu found a snow-white rabbit skin that day and sent it over, which they had saved before. The fur feels smooth and the color is pure.

Fang Shujing sent it directly to the cloth shop in the county, and asked a familiar master to make a rabbit fur cloak with fur trim around it. The outside was made of pure red cloth, and a lot of cotton was added inside. In winter, It can resist the wind and keep you warm.

Fang Shujing took it back and gave it to his wife, and Liu Yechen couldn't put it down when he saw it.

"Is this really for me?"

Fang Shujing snorted.

I knew my wife would like it. I remember that when he was young, he had a red cloak. It was really ice and snow cute: "Would you like to try it?"

Liu Yechen put it on, blinked and said, "Does it look good? "

Good-looking!" Fang Shujing's eyebrows were full of tenderness.

With his fair skin and this warm red cloak, Liu Yechen looked like someone in a painting. He was a little embarrassed in front of Fang Shujing. This shyness is like putting a layer of natural rouge on his face, which is extremely beautiful.

Then he remembered something and said, "Wait a minute." Then he went into the house to get some incense and an exquisite small brass stove, and said, "This is what I made for you. It has the effect of relaxing and happy. You If you are tired, you can light one."

Fang Shujing looked at him in surprise: "Why do you know everything?"

Liu Yechen's ears immediately stood up when he heard Fang Shujing praise him, obviously being praised by his sweetheart. He was very happy. But he was embarrassed to make his happiness too obvious, so he lowered his head, but the corners of his mouth were obviously raised.

Fang Shujing was really tempted to kiss him, so she held it back and promised her mother not to bully him. But it's really difficult. His little wife is so cute.

Xu Quan was squatting in the young lady's yard, raising his head from time to time to look at the young master. He was still talking to the young lady there, with a gentleness on his face that he had never seen before.

Even he was a little curious. Is it really so good to have a wife?

After waiting for a while, he urged: "Master, madam asked you to go back for dinner today, so you can't miss the time."

Fang Shujing heard the urging from outside and said reluctantly: "Then I will come see you tomorrow." Originally thought I talked to my wife for a while, but unconsciously I talked too much.

Liu Yechen hummed, raised his head and glanced at him.

Fang Shujing's heart skipped a beat, feeling that his wife's eyes were as clear as a deer's. Said: "Wait for me to marry you. You are not allowed to like others."

Liu Yechen said softly: "I won't." Then he took a peek at Fang Shujing.

Fang Shujing couldn't help it, so she lowered her head and kissed his lips, which were sweet, soft and warm. Liu Yechen seemed to be frightened, and took a step back with a blushing face: "Why are you like this? It's not allowed."

Fang Shujing's kiss just now was like a dragonfly touching water, and before the taste was felt, the good wife ran away. His lips were moist and tactile, and his moist eyes were a little shy, but when he looked over, Fang Shujing felt his mind shake violently. It took me a long time to get back to the deep place.

Liu Yechen's hand pushed him gently.

Only then did Fang Shujing get out of the ambiguity above.

Fang Shujing said: "You have never said that you like me."

Liu Yechen hummed and said: "Your mother is looking for you to have dinner, go quickly." How could such words make a brother who has not yet left the court? It was so embarrassing to say it out loud.

Fang Shujing came close to his ear, her lips touched his auricle inadvertently and said, "I'll come find you tomorrow."

Liu Yechen felt that his heart had stopped for a long time. He was so nervous that he just felt touched by him . The tips of my ears were extremely hot.

In panic, he responded haphazardly.

Fang Shujing just left.

Liu Yechen returned to the room and waited for the sounds outside to disappear. Then he sat down, and there were things given to him by Fang Shujing next to him. Clothes, jewelry and all kinds of gadgets.

The people he likes also like him, which makes him a little happy. Liu Yechen was still recalling the brief kiss and the caress on his ear.

His face turned red again.

He must be a bad guy. He's obviously not married yet. Why do you like his touch so much and even want more...

What should I do? His heartbeat is completely out of rhythm.

...

When Fang Shujing came out, she saw Xu Quan covering his eyes and muttering something inaudible. He asked curiously, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't look at anything inappropriate." Xu Quan let go of his hand and said, "Master, I didn't mean it. I won't get needle holes." Who would have thought that the young master would be so gentle? A person who knows etiquette actually bullied the young lady and kissed her directly.

After he got engaged to Miss Feng, there had never been such a rough time.

Fang Shujing tapped his head gently with his hand: "Don't look at anything you shouldn't." Fortunately, Liu Yechen didn't know, otherwise he would have been so shy and timid, and he would have refused to get closer to him anymore.

Xu Quan said with curiosity on his face: "Master, getting married is really that good."

"Of course." He couldn't wait. If it weren't for this time in my life that I wanted to do it well, I really wanted to worship him right now.

Xu Quan said: "Everyone in the village said that the young lady is beautiful. You should pay close attention to dressing her up. Now many people want to poach her." When he was walking around the village, he heard this and felt unhappy. The young lady could only be his family. of.

Fang Shujing said: "My daughter-in-law is beautiful!" She was very possessive in one sentence.

Xu Quan said: "Okay, let's go quickly, I can smell the fragrance." The lady asked them to come over and eat dumplings. Just thinking about it made him greedy.

The dumplings made by my wife put a lot of vegetables, but the vegetables were delicious and refreshing. Mrs. Fang made the dumplings when she saw them entering the house. After a while, the white and fat dumplings floated up. After they were cooked, they took them out.

Xu Quan also saw Fang making a big pot of porridge, which was delicious with dumplings.

Like Fang Shujing, Fang had never regarded Xu Quan as his subordinate. When he saw him being so greedy, he said, "You have a taste first."

Xu Quan was happy and said with a smile, "Young Master has always been like this before!" After tasting it One of them gave a thumbs up and said: "It's delicious."

Chapter 14 Brother's sweetheart

Mrs. Fang was very happy. This was the first time that Fang Shujing had dinner at home since she returned home. The family was finally reunited.

The dumplings she made were delicious and everyone ate them with praise.

Fang secretly wiped her tears while filling the dumplings, feeling satisfied.

There are more smiles on my face while eating.

There are no rules when eating in the countryside. Everyone is chatting at the table.

Father Fang said: "This year has been good. I can still get jobs at home." He had never imagined that he could have such a comfortable life before.

Brother Fang, who had always been clumsy and tongue-tied, said, "It's all because of my little brother."

Mrs. Fang said, "That's right." She also felt that life had gotten better since Fang Shujing came back: "Where is your father?" After drinking honey water, I feel like I have done a lot of work now. Now I drink a glass of it a day."

Father Fang said, "I feel strong after drinking this water."

Mr. Fang laughed and scolded, "You are greedy." Fang Shujing said: "

What do you think about the family? I still have half a jar of honey at home. I will ask my eldest brother to drink some next time." Father Fang knows the difference. There is a lot of spiritual spring in this honey water. , has the effect of strengthening the body and relieving fatigue.

Fang quickly said: "No, you can keep these good things for yourself."

Fang Shujing said: "I don't like sweet things." In fact, this is an excuse, because he has purified it with Lingquan water, and now uses The spiritual spring is of little use to him. On the contrary, the white hair on the family's forehead has turned into black hair, their faces are rosy, and all the nutrients that their bodies lacked have been replenished.

Father Fang is now addicted to drinking honey. When he heard what Fang Shujing said, he said from the side: "Since Xiaojing said I gave it to you, let's keep it."

The angry Fang started to laugh and curse: "You Yeah, why do you get greedier as you get older?"

The family was chatting and laughing in a good atmosphere.

Xu Quan was eating nearby, and after finishing one plate, Fang immediately served him another plate. Xu Quan was now half-grown and had a big appetite, but he was afraid of being disliked. Even though he was not full, he still said: "I've eaten."

Fang stopped him forcefully: "You're all here, don't pretend, I'm ready." There are so many dumplings. If you don't finish them, they will spoil. Eat more!"

Xu Quan knew that there was no food left in the countryside, so he was just afraid that he would think too much. Since Mr. Fang said so, he took advantage of the situation and said: "Then eat some."

Mr. Fang smiled.

Xu Quan looked like his own child.

Fang said: "There was a matchmaker who came up yesterday, wanting to secure a match for Dalang." Brother Fang is not young anymore. Before, it was because the family was poor and had the huge burden of being a hunter of the Liu family. No one in the village wants to get married, fearing that their daughter will suffer.

But now the Fang family's fortunes have turned around, and Orion's injuries have been completely resolved. Now he has started making cabinets again, and somehow the news got out. Now two people from other villages have heard that his cabinets are very good and have ordered a few.

How much money does this cost?

Seeing that the Fang family was about to get up, someone who was quick to strike was the first to target Brother Fang.

Originally, according to Brother Fang's age, children should be running all over the floor. He should be the most anxious, after all, who doesn't want to hold a wife when they are old?

But Fang Shujing discovered something strange.

Brother Fang showed no sign of joy at the mention of someone being a matchmaker. Instead, he frowned.

Ms. Fang didn't notice this detail, and kept saying: "She is the youngest daughter of Uncle Liu's family. She is six or seven years younger than you. She is good-looking and has a cheerful temperament. The Liu family only asked for a symbolic gift of five taels of silver." I think it's very good. If you agree to this matter, I will take care of it. "Brother Fang is the elder brother after all, and according to the customs, he has to get married first.

Fang Shujing said, "There's no rush in this matter." Then he made another interruption, and Fang ignored the matter without paying attention.

Brother Fang glanced at Fang Shujing gratefully.

Fang Shujing knew clearly that something was wrong with his elder brother.

After eating, Xu Quan and Fang went over to clean up. Father Fang was restless and immediately went out to do work. Fang Shujing and Brother Fang were the only ones left in the house.

Brother Fang hesitated several times, but finally seemed to have made up his mind and said, "I have something to tell you." He couldn't tell his parents about this. He wanted to talk to his younger brother, but he was shy. I also don't know what to say.

Fang Shujing asked, "Do you have someone you like?"

"How do you know?" Brother Fang blurted out, and after finishing speaking, he scratched his hair in embarrassment. It seemed a bit embarrassing.

Then she told him what was in her heart. It turns out that Brother Fang likes a young widow who is twenty-five years old and has a three-year-old daughter. Before the little widow came out of the palace, she played better with Brother Fang, and she was also a concubine. But who would have thought that his family had a heavy burden, and the woman's brother and sister-in-law didn't like her, so they married her off to a medicine jar for only three taels of silver. The man was too weak and finally passed away after five years of marriage. He also left behind a child.

Things are not going well now. The last time he went to deliver something, he really saw her. The two of them looked at each other from a distance but didn't say a word.

Brother Fang's heart became a little hotter. Compared with others, he wanted to make up for the regrets of his youth. He said, "I will treat her daughter as my own child."

But she didn't dare to say this to Mrs. Fang.

He, a young man who was married for the first time, finds a man who is raising children from his second marriage, which will make people laugh in the village. But he really liked the little widow.

Fang Shujing would not have understood it originally, but he was a reborn person after all, so he would not be surprised. Life is short and the most important thing is to live the life you like. He said, "Then have you asked her?"

Brother Fang said nothing.

Fang Shujing was embarrassed on the spot. He had not yet told the woman about such a hot and firm feeling, so he said: "You have to tell her first. If she is willing to tell you, then tell mother."

Brother Fang said: "She I must be willing." I heard that her life there was not good. Her husband's family was harsh and strong, and they had to do all the work in the family. It's her fault that she didn't give birth to a son to continue her career, and her daughter also suffered injustice.

Fang Shujing said: "You are not her, how do you know what she is thinking."

Brother Fang hummed, then glanced at Fang Shujing and asked a rather fatal question, "How can I tell you this?" She said. "He was still a little embarrassed after saying that. He was still a junior brother who had never had any contact with girls.

Fang Shujing was silent for a while and then taught: "Give her a small gift first. If she accepts it, give her some more next time. Don't say anything and wait for her to come to you."

"Oh oh oh." Brother Fang scratched his hair honestly and remembered everything his brother said.

Chapter 15 Carrot Tassel

Fang Shujing returned home, gathered the vegetables in the field, and marinated some side dishes in a jar.

Cut green radish into strips and dry in the sun. In winter, steam it with oil and soy sauce and it will be a delicious dish for rice. Or use dried radish to stew meat, which can relieve both greasiness and craving.

There are also a lot of radish tassels, which can be used to make steamed bun fillings. Carrots are good, they are full of treasures, nothing is wasted.

Xu Quan found a big pot and said, "Master, let me cut it!"

He ate it secretly while cutting it. He enjoyed it, but he liked to eat the green radish from his own field. It was sweet and crisp, and was more delicious than fruit. When he had nothing to do, he went to the field to pull out a radish and gnawed it. The bite was crunchy, and the sweet radish juice flowed in his mouth, which was more than addictive.

Fang Shujing usually treats him as his younger brother and spoils him: "Eat less and make steamed buns at night."

When Xu Quan heard about making steamed buns, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Don't worry, young master, I've got a belly for you." Look. Holding Fang Shujing's hand, he said: "My life is more comfortable now than in the Xu Mansion." Although the Xu Mansion is a wealthy merchant, the servants have many rules and strict hierarchies. He wants to eat something made by the young master. Like a thief. Not feeling as comfortable as now, I could eat whatever I wanted, and I felt more and more that he had come to the right place.

Fang Shujing said: "Since you believe in me, I can't let you down. Don't call me young master. We don't pay attention to that in the countryside."

Xu Quan refused: "It was you who bought me so that my parents could be buried. At that time I swear, you will be my master for the rest of my life." Then he shouted stubbornly without knowing what he was thinking of: "Master."

He has no other relatives in this world, only the master he has followed since childhood. I just want to follow him closely.

Fang Shujing saw his eyes were red with doting and said helplessly: "Okay, you can call me whatever you want. You are such an old man and you are still crying."

Seeing Xu Quan's true feelings, he remembered what happened in his previous life. What happened was that he went astray several times, and in the end Xu Quan was the only one around him, and the little guy followed him to a tragic end.

Every time I think about it, I feel like I owe him. Calculating carefully, Xu Quan is younger than him! Take good care of him this time.

The two of them worked together to collect the pickles from the field. When the radish is dried, the radish tassels are gathered up to make dumplings.

I used a lot of pickles and salt, and several big jars at home were almost full. Xu Quan said, "Master, have we finished eating?"

"You can give it away then." Fang Shujing remembered that the husband who taught him before loved pickles and couldn't live without them. My husband showed me the friendship of sending books to him, so I wanted to repay him.

Their vegetables all grow very well, and the radish leaves are all green. He has made them once before, and they are very delicious. Xu Quan couldn't stop eating. This time he chose the tenderest ones and went to the river to wash them.

Xu Quan was lighting a fire at home.

Everyone in the village knew that Fang Shujing was originally a scholar, but they didn't expect that he could still work. There were many women working by the river, and they were a little surprised to see him there. She kept peeking at him with her eyes.

He is really handsome, and he doesn't look arrogant towards others. Compared with Xu Ziyang, he is in the sky and on the earth. Not to mention compared to his past status, he was even better than the men born and raised in the village.

It's a pity that we are already engaged!

Aunt Wang said: "Shusheng Fang, are you here to wash vegetables?" She was usually enthusiastic with everyone, so she also came over to ask questions.

"Yes."

Aunt Wang said, "Don't you have a servant? Do you still need to do it yourself?"

People in the village were watching, and Xu Quan screamed happily every day.

People in the village lamented that he was so grand and had a dedicated waiter in the countryside. I saw that Xu Quan was quite smart and good at talking. They all felt that they were worthy of coming from a wealthy family, and even the servants were so smart. A stupid son like his own would probably be unqualified to join the current generation.

Fang Shujing said: "He is not a servant of my family, he is my godbrother. He is at home." Fang Shujing said.

Aunt Wang's eyes lit up when she heard this and she said: "I have a niece who is a strong and capable woman. My sister left early, and the niece's stepmother was not very kind to her and wanted to marry her off early. I don't know if Xu Quan likes that?" "

Fang Shujing still regarded Xu Quan as a child, but he didn't expect that in the eyes of the villagers, he was an adult who could get married.

Fang Shujing said, "I'll tell him later."

Aunt Wang hummed a few times, and the more she thought about Xu Quan, the more satisfied she became. The only thing that felt bad was that he was Fang Shujing's servant. But now Fang Shujing has said it himself, and he has never treated Xu Quan as a servant.

Xu Quan is also pretty good. He is free and has seen the world. The most important thing is to still have a relationship with the Fang family. Now who doesn't know that the Fang family is about to rise, and following them will definitely lead a good life in the future.

Aunt Wang was quite lucky. She asked early. Regardless of whether it was successful or not, she still had one more chance than others.

The aunts around by the river didn't know what Aunt Wang and Fang Shujing were talking about. The conversation was quite lively and they came to join in the fun.

Soon there were four aunts around, and the younger sisters-in-law did not dare to come over. Fang Shujing was so handsome that I was embarrassed to talk to him.

Fang Shujing is okay with everyone. He is not like other scholars who talk in a pretentious manner as if they are showing off. He is quite stable.

Aunt Li looked at Fang Shujing's cleanly washed radish tassels and said, "Hey, did you grow this at home?" She loved eating this bite. But I have to plant some things to fight hunger in my own vegetable garden. I have also planted radishes, but the radish tassels get old all the time. When it was not so tender, she looked greedy.

Fang Shujing said: "Yeah." I don't know if it's because of the spiritual spring. His radish grows well and the radish leaves are tender.

Aunt Li said, "I'll trade two eggs for your radish tassels."

Walking back and forth in the village, you don't even need copper coins. It's still the most primitive form of barter.

Fang Shujing said, "Okay." He didn't raise chickens at home, so he had to buy eggs if he wanted to eat them. Besides, he still has a lot of radish tassels at home, and he can't eat all that much.

Eggs are hard currency in the village and can be exchanged for anything. It's really not worth it to exchange for a handful of carrot tassels. But he soon stopped talking when he saw the handful of vegetables in Fang Shujing's hand. They have never seen such good-looking radish tassels for so many years of working in the fields. The stems and leaves are so green that they look tender. It also exudes a special fragrance.

This food tastes so fresh, and the vegan buns are super delicious.

"I want to change too."

"Count me in."

Somehow, seeing how lively it was, the others came up and joined in.

As a result, Fang Shujing went home after washing and gave the remaining radish leaves in bundles to his aunts. In exchange for fourteen eggs!

It's like picking it up for free. There are still a lot of radishes in the ground, so you can eat them anytime you want.

That day, many people made steamed buns filled with vegetarian stuffing and radish tassels. They were so delicious that they made them smile with joy. I got unanimous praise from my family and didn't even eat enough. The next day many people came to Fang Shujing and said, if there are any more radish leaves left, send them to them if they still want to eat them.

Fang Shujing agreed immediately. What he wanted was radish, and the radish tassels came with it. It would be good to exchange some eggs for his wife.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

The aunts by the river are still thinking about the big buns yesterday.

Aunt Li likes to eat radish tassels, but her family doesn't like this food very much. She told others by the river: "They didn't take it as a good thing before, but this time they ate more than me!" She felt like a fanciful victory. .

Aunt Wang said: "Scholar Fang is quite good at growing vegetables. I went to his house in the morning and asked him to send some radish leaves if there were any. This is a seasonal dish that can only be eaten a few times. It's not expensive, but guess what, he did it. The vegetable garden looks like a garden. The rows look so neat. I didn't expect it to be so well organized. Even she, a good person in daily life, took a liking to it.

Plant vegetables and dry vegetables at the same time. They are people who are going through life.

"Otherwise someone would say, if you can do the same thing, you can do anything."

In a corner that Fang Shujing didn't know about, he was praised to the fullest. A meal of steamed buns with radish leaves won over all the aunts in the village.

Chapter 16 Big Brother's Sweetheart

Early the next morning, when Fang Shujing got up and brushed his teeth, he saw Brother Fang standing at the door. His body seemed to be covered with a layer of fog. He didn't know how long he had been waiting outside.

He saw that Fang Shujing was a little excited and said, "She accepted it." A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth when he mentioned this. Fang Shujing said, "What did you give me as a gift?"

"Steamed buns." He said, "I heard that she often doesn't have enough to eat." Other fancy things are not practical at all.

Fang Shujing asked, "Is she still in her husband's family?" In the village, a widow can marry, but she cannot live in her husband's family.

"No, since her husband died, her husband's family kicked her out with her children. When she was working on weekdays, she would be scolded if she opened her mouth, or beaten if she raised her hand." He has heard it several times, that means marrying you. Having a family does not mean selling yourself into slavery. What's more, the children always belong to your family. He was over three years old and was reduced to a handful of bones.

Her brother and sister-in-law are not human beings. How can a woman support herself and her children without any land or skills?

Fang Shujing said: "Then you should mention it to her seriously. After all, she comes from a woman's family. If she gets too close to you, the rumors in the village will kill her." Brother Fang has already identified her. I can't see anyone else in my eyes.

If he didn't hold on tighter, Fang Shujing might be ahead of him.

Fang Shujing saw him holding on to the heavy dew and said, "Come in quickly and have a bite to eat, and then go over." Seeing how excited he was, I'm afraid he didn't sleep all night!

Brother Fang is really a little hungry, his stomach keeps growling.

Fang Shujing went to heat up some big buns left over from yesterday's meal for him. When I woke up in the morning, I cooked a handful of multigrain porridge. Now that the porridge was boiling, I took out the pickles and dealt with them briefly.

Brother Fang didn't expect that his breakfast would be so rich.

Every day at home, I hear my mother say that my brother is not easy to make money by writing every day, so I want to eat less. My brother's life is not easy either. But after eating, my stomach started to growl.

The big steamed buns with vegetarian fillings are also very delicious. It has a light sweet taste and I ate it one after another. The porridge is also delicious. I drank two big bowls of it with pickles in the morning. It made my stomach feel warmer.

When he came back to his senses, Brother Fang was a little blushing. He ate five fist-sized buns by himself and couldn't stop at all.

After eating, he said, "What can I do? I've eaten all of it."

Fang Shujing said, "I steamed two big pots yesterday, and there's another pot left. If you like it, ask Xu Quan to pick some up for you and send them over. !"

"No, no, no." He can't even eat and drink.

Fang Shujing remembered and said, "Just bring some for your sweetheart." Xu Quan was diligent and lit a fire when he got up early. The buns were so hot that they were thoroughly cooked.

Every white and fat bun looks steaming hot and makes you appetizing.

Brother Fang just noticed that although there is no meat in it, there are shrimps and a lot of oil in it. Who is willing to put things in the big steamed stuffed buns with vegetarian stuffing, but it tastes really delicious.

Although Brother Fang was embarrassed, he was a little tempted by Fang Shujing's proposal. Fang Shujing has already prepared the food box. Put the steamed buns on one layer. Now that the autumn weather is crisp, you don't have to worry about spoiling it. If you don't finish it, you can save it for another meal.

Fang Shujing returned to the house and found a box. He usually liked to buy some rare things for his wife.

Now I found one and gave it to my eldest brother.

I'm afraid that he is too down-to-earth and women won't like him. As a younger brother, I have to help.

Fortunately, the exquisite packaging was still there when I bought the things. Then I handed it to Brother Fang and said, "Give this to her."

Brother Fang blushed so hard now that he said, "This is outrageous." It was so early in the morning. What would it sound like for Fang Shujing to eat and drink so much, and finally accept gifts from others? Judging from the exquisiteness of this wooden box, he might not be able to afford the contents inside. How dare you let your brother spend so much money.

Fang Shujing said: "It doesn't matter, if you can bring me a sister-in-law, you will be considered worthy."

After all, Brother Fang is an old bachelor for more than 20 years, and he was embarrassed when he heard this: "Then... Then I'll give it a try."

Fang Shujing laughed at his honest look.

Brother Fang soon left here and went to Li Xiuer's door. Since the man died, Li Xiuer's husband's family had kicked him out of the big tiled house. Fortunately, Fifth Aunt Li, her maternal aunt, freed up a shabby house in the family, so that they had a temporary place for mother and daughter.

Li Xiu'er got up early in the house. Although it was a broken house, she had tidied up the inside and outside of the house. She heard her daughter's small voice saying: "Mom, I'm hungry."

The light in Li Xiu'er's eyes gradually dimmed. There was no food at home, and my daughter's thinning hair was like withered grass. A few days ago, the fifth aunt was shocked when she saw her child and said she had to give the child something to eat. If a child like this gets into trouble, we can't keep him.

In the past, when there was famine in the village, children like this were the first to die. He said it was a sin, left some food behind and left.

My mother couldn't eat for three days even if she didn't save food. Fortunately, Brother Fang came and brought some steamed buns. The mother-in-law split it and soaked it in the water until they were full.

She was a widowed woman and good-looking, so she was coveted by the gangsters in the neighborhood, but she refused... But these days were almost killing her.

At this moment, the child, who was still sharp-eyed, said, "Mom, Uncle Fang is outside."

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuer immediately looked over. As expected, Brother Fang had been standing outside for who knows how long.

The neighbor's daughter-in-law was still outside eating melon seeds and talking to her.

He ignored everyone like a wooden pile, but the neighbor's daughter-in-law laughed strangely, as if she knew some big secret.

Li Xiuer opened the door, and her three-year-old daughter ran out first, like a cheerful bird, saying, "Uncle."

"Tiantian, have you eaten?" Brother Fang was very patient with this little guy.

"No." Tiantian looks very much like Li Xiuer when she was little.

"Then uncle brought porridge and steamed buns. You and your mother can eat some." Brother Fang said.

Tiantian saw her mother also walking out and hurriedly hid behind Li Xiuer's legs. But when he tilted his head and looked over, he was as cute as he could be.

Li Xiuer saw Brother Fang coming again and said, "You..." She had a lot to say, but she didn't know what to say. Brother Fang is an unmarried man and the eldest son of the Fang family. How could she, a widow, deserve to be in this family? In this way, a bit of bitterness flowed out of my heart.

Chapter 17 Eldest Brother's Marriage

Li Xiuer looked at Brother Fang and hesitated to speak.

Brother Fang said, "I'll give you some food." He handed the food box to her directly.

Li Xiuer smelled a bit of a greedy smell, her stomach began to growl, and her pretty face turned red.

Although she was a widow, she couldn't accept a man's kindness so clearly, not to mention the neighbor's sister-in-law who was leaning against the door and eating melon seeds. No intention of leaving at all.

Li Xiuer seemed to have made a big decision in her heart, and said: "Brother Fang, I..."

Seeing that she was in trouble all the time, Brother Fang remembered what his younger brother said and said, "Let me take care of you from now on, okay?" ?"

Li Xiuer was confused on the spot. What this meant was...

Brother Fang didn't know how to coax girls, so he said based on his heart and instinct: "I will treat Tiantian as my own daughter from now on."

He is now a popular son-in-law in the village. There are many unmarried girls who are willing to marry him, so why find a widow with a child.

Brother Fang was waiting nearby. When he saw that she had nothing to say, he became a little anxious and asked, "Are you willing?"

Li Xiuer said, "I am willing, but..."

Brother Fang didn't listen to the rest of the sentence. She said she was willing and laughed: "That's good."

Then she took out an exquisite wooden box from her pocket and said, "This is for you."

Li Xiuer opened it and found that it was actually a golden phoenix headdress inside. Every feather is threaded with gold wire and pearls.

There are no girls who don't like it, even Tiantian who is watching next to her can't take her eyes away.

Brother Fang didn't expect it to be such a valuable thing, so he thought about giving his brother some money next time.

The two of them were so good together, but the neighbor's sister-in-law was a little jealous, so she took a deep breath and entered the house. A widow who doesn't know the slightest bit of peace is really not a good bird.

Brother Fang heard the neighbor's voice and knew that he had stayed here for too long, so he said, "I'll tell my mother first, and then I'll marry you."

Li Xiuer felt a little flustered and watched Brother Fang walk away. , put away the things and entered the house. If you can marry him, you don't have to worry about going hungry, but the Fang family may not agree.

My daughter fell in love with Jinsi Feng very much when she saw her. The little girl said in a voice: "Mom, I still want to take a look."

Li Xiuer then came back to her senses and said: "Mom, please put the things away and don't touch them, you know." Then she wanted to hide them, but she felt uneasy wherever she put them. , and finally put it under the bed and said, "

Tiantian, come and eat."

"Yes." The little girl nodded.

The two of them opened the food box. The steamed buns inside were still steaming. They were actually made of polished rice and white flour. They hadn't eaten them in several years.

Li Xiuer broke it into half. Although it was plain stuffed, there were still oily flowers inside. These are steamed buns made from the tenderest radish tassels. They also have a lot of seasonings and a lot of dried shrimp skins. It tastes delicious in one bite.

Tiantian said: "Mom, it's delicious." After saying this, the little guy took another big bite and devoured it. She has only eaten whole grains since she was born, and this is the first time she has eaten thin, soft, refined grains.

The radish was irrigated by spiritual springs. Fang Shujing was used to eating it and didn't think it was anything, but in the eyes of Li Xiuer and her daughter, who had never eaten anything good, it was simply powerful.

Tiantian ate two of them, and Li Xiuer ate four of the fist-sized buns. I waited until there was a strange feeling of fullness in my belly before I stopped!

Li Xiuer blushed a little, and put the rest in the small kitchen. There was a lot left, and she could have another meal later.

...

Mrs. Fang is worried about her eldest son getting married. After all, he is already a grown man and has been single all his life. It is not a solution if there is no one around him who understands both coldness and warmth.

Recently I have been thinking about finding some honest girls in the village and booking a good match with them.

Fang went out in a hurry, wanting to visit a house with a girl in the village.

Just as Brother Fang walked into the house, he called Mrs. Fang and said, "Mom, I have something to tell you."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Fang immediately stopped and said, "Go ahead."

Brother Fang looked at it and said, "No. " In the distance, there are neighbors drying vegetables in the yard, lest others hear those words. Shen said mysteriously: "Let's go back and talk."

Fang felt a little strange, but she didn't doubt that he followed him back to the house.

Just now, Brother Fang looked anxious and had something to say, but when he entered the room, he was no longer anxious. Mrs. Fang was impatient and urged from the side: "What is going on?"

Brother Fang said: "I...I There's someone I like."

Fang's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she couldn't help but curl up her lips and said, "That's a good thing." Her eldest son has always been ignorant of human affairs, but now he is enlightened: "Which family is it? "Girl, I'll go and make peace with you."

If the eldest son really has a sweetheart, it will save her a lot of trouble and she won't have to look at each other like this.

"It's Li Xiu'er."

Fang's relaxed brows suddenly frowned: "Her?"

There are more than a hundred families in the village, all of whom have lived here for generations. She knows who's family is what.

How could her son find such a person for his first marriage?

Although Li Xiu'er is a hard-working and down-to-earth person, none of her brothers, sister-in-law, and husband-in-law are very efficient, and they also have a daughter who is only a few years old and is a loser. If the two of them get married, they will have to raise a child for free.

The Fang family is living a good life now, even the eldest daughter of a yellow flower can be found, so why should they find a widow.

"You bastard, let's break up with her now. I already know the important matter of your marriage, so I don't need you to interfere with it."

When Brother Fang heard this, he said, "Mom, I like her, you know it." Li Xiuer used to Before they got married, Mrs. Fang had the intention to make the two of them a couple, but at that time her brother and sister-in-law thought that the Fang family was poor.

She just didn't deserve it, and she said a lot of hurtful things. In the end, she married someone to a medicine pot for five taels of silver. The result was not good. Not long after the marriage, she passed away leaving a baby. As a woman, Fang also sympathized with Li Xiuer's current life. But if she wants to marry another person back home, her powerful brother and sister-in-law may start to tremble again.

Mrs. Fang got angry when she saw her eldest son looking obsessed, and said: "Who did you learn to be so frivolous, and you like and love each other at the same time? You are not allowed to say such things at home in the future."

Brother Fang said: "Mother ..." His tone was a bit pleading. He really likes Li Xiuer, and his daughter Tiantian is also very well-behaved and sensible.

Fang said: "Okay, if only you could be as worry-free as your brother."

Fang is also a stubborn person, and once he decides something, he can't get it back.

After saying that, he turned away and left.

Brother Fang just made a promise to Li Xiuer this morning. If he goes back on his word now, who will he be?

His mother just said, brother, yes, go find Fang Shujing now. I made up my mind and left.

After leaving the room, Father Fang said, "Hold a board for me." The two of them were about to start carpentry work.

Brother Fang seemed to have lost his soul and walked away without seeing him at all.

Father Fang called twice but was ignored, and blew his beard angrily: "This kid..." Since no one was there to help, he had no choice but to do it himself.

...

As soon as Mrs. Fang walked to the creek, she saw several women chatting in twos and threes. When she saw her gone, she fell silent. A mysterious look!

Mrs. Fang looked over suspiciously, and saw a little gloating in everyone's eyes. Now that the Fang family's life was better, she hadn't seen these looks for a long time, and her heart skipped a beat.

Then he saw Aunt Li coming over. His youngest daughter was only fifteen years old this year. His family had been trying to get closer to her before. Now he came over and said, "The women in our village are so talkative. Just say that your eldest son is getting close to someone else's widow."

It was only then that the news spread. He secretly scolded his eldest son for not being careful in doing things. At this moment, he just smiled and did Tai Chi.

Although Fang didn't admit it, he didn't deny it either. Aunt Li immediately said: "This is not true. This is not a good relationship. I am not the elder who is talking about her. That girl Li Xiuer is really pitiful. Her mother's family is not good, and her husband's family is not good either. She gave birth to a girl. The man died early. Why is it wrong for her to go somewhere?" There were some unpleasant things she didn't say.

There is a lot of trouble at the widow's door!

If you are restless, you should wear a green hat every time you turn around.

Mrs. Fang was originally not optimistic about this marriage. When she heard this, her face turned ugly.

"Yeah." Her face was gloomy.

At this moment, Aunt Li suddenly said: "Hey, isn't that your eldest son? Where are you going?"

Mrs. Fang also looked over, and sure enough she saw her eldest son walking by in a hurry. Could it be that Li Xiuer had confused her mind, and she immediately ignored the women watching the excitement around her and chased after him.

She hurriedly followed behind and did not catch up with Brother Fang.

But soon I felt relieved. It turned out that he was not going to Li Xiuer's house, but to Fang Shujing's place.

Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen were chatting together.

Since he ran away secretly that day, he had been hiding for several days from whether Fang Shujing actually liked him. He was thinking about it and wanted to come secretly, but Liu Yechen was caught by Fang Shujing as soon as he arrived.

Fang Shujing invited him to talk for a while in the yard with a smile on his face.

Autumn is getting stronger now, and the weather is very cold in the morning and evening. Seeing that Liu Yechen was still wearing thin clothes, he said, "Aren't you cold?"

"Not cold." Liu Yechen didn't know what was going on, and every time he talked to Fang Shujing I'm embarrassed to speak.

Fang Shujing said: "Nonsense, your fingers are very cold." Last time he pretended to be sick, and Liu Yechen's fingers pressed against them, making him tremble.

Liu Yechen gave him an angry look. Refuses to speak.

At this moment, a knock on the door rang outside: "It's me." Brother Fang's voice came from outside the door.

Xu Quan was cutting radishes in the yard. When he heard this, he quickly went to open the door. Liu Yechen wanted to hide out, but Fang Shujing held his hand and said, "You are here, not an outsider."

Liu Yechen quickly retracted his hand and connected his fingers to his heart. His heartbeat was beating suddenly just now. , the ears are also a little hot.

Fang Shujing's chuckle came from behind, and Liu Yechen felt his ears itching and burning even more.

Xu Quan opened the door and saw Brother Fang arriving.

Brother Fang wanted to discuss something with him, but when he came in, he found that Liu Yechen was also here. Say hello.

Liu Yechen saluted, and Fang Shujing invited them to sit down at the round table and said, "We are not outsiders. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Brother Fang hummed and said, "Xiu'er agreed, but mother disagreed. "

Liu Yechen suddenly heard such big gossip, and his eyes were full of curiosity. Sitting next to Fang Shujing, I suddenly felt his hand being held by him under the table. Liu Yechen resisted the urge to scream and glanced at Fang Shujing. He still looked serious, but he was so bad behind his back.

Liu Yechen shook his hand back.

Fang Shujing glanced at him.

The two of them were listening to Brother Fang's words, but they were hooking up with their fingers behind their backs and having a great time.

Brother Fang asked, "What should I do if my mother doesn't agree?" He was in great distress now and really wanted to be with Li Xiu'er. But filial piety is the most important thing in the village. If he disobeys his mother and does not get the blessings of his elders, they will not be happy even if they are together.

At this moment, Xu Quan said again: "Madam, why are you here?"

Liu Yechen quickly pulled his hand back hard. He stood up and said, "Auntie."

Brother Fang and Fang Shujing also stood up and said, "Mother."

Mrs. Fang came with anger. Unexpectedly, Liu Yechen was also here. Her mood calmed down a little and she said: "Xiao Liu, come to my place to eat at noon."

Before Liu Yechen could say anything, Fang Shujing helped him refuse and said: "Mom, he is eating at my place. ."

Mrs. Fang glanced at her son. She had noticed that his son was weak a long time ago and always wanted to kidnap him home. Xiaoliu is so good, she was stunned for a while after being fooled by her youngest son!

After being interrupted like this, Mrs. Fang felt a little better, but when she saw her eldest son, her face became a little clouded again. He said: "You don't need to discuss it with your brother. I don't agree with this matter anyway." A person lives with his face, and a tree lives with his skin. If he marries a widow, how will his family see anyone?

"Mom, I won't marry anyone but her." Brother Fang also became more stubborn. Fang Shiqi's face turned pale: "Then don't recognize me as your mother from now on."

Both of them got a little angry.

Liu Yechen quickly comforted his future mother-in-law and said in a gentle voice, "Don't be angry, brother, that's not what I meant."

Fang Shujing asked Xu Quan to close the door and guard the door outside.

There are only four people in the whole yard.

Fang Shujing said: "Mother, eldest brother has never gotten married. Now he finally has someone he likes. Can't you agree to him?" To be more specific, the reason why eldest brother Fang didn't get married was because of his poor family...

Otherwise, there would be so many things to do if he married Li Xiuer home so early. What a pair of miserable mandarin ducks. Now they are finally able to get together again, but the world wants to separate them.

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang said, "I'm looking for him now. I'll definitely find him a good one."

"Mom... Xiu'er is not the kind of messy person. She also has friendship for her son." Brother Fang still said Want to marry her.

Fang's previous anger calmed down a little after being comforted by her youngest son and Liu Yechen. She patiently said to him: "What is friendship? You are not spending a lifetime with someone. Besides, getting married is not a matter of two people. It is a matter of two people." It's a matter between the two families."

Brother Fang said, "Her brother and sister-in-law are so ruthless and unreasonable, so we won't have any contact with each other in the future. Besides, Tiantian is also very well-behaved. You will definitely like them."

After hearing this, Mrs. Fang. She became even more angry and said: "Tell me, do you always go to their house on weekdays? Now there are rumors outside." She originally thought that her eldest son was the most honest, but now he has posed such a big problem for her. . It was like roasting her on the fire.

Fang Shujing said: "Mom, you only have this life, why can't you let your brother choose the person you like? It doesn't matter what outsiders say, we live our own lives behind closed doors. If you are afraid of being disturbed. Near my home This space is still very big. It's better to build another house and move here. It will be quiet for our family." He is already a reborn person and understands many things!

Your own choices are more important than other people's opinions.

Brother Fang glanced at Fang Shujing gratefully.

Liu Yechen glanced at Fang Shujing one more time, and then said, "Mom, he is right."

Everyone looked at him for a while.

Mrs. Fang even forgot to be angry. Did Liu Yechen call her mother?

Fang Shujing's heart was filled with excitement. If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people around, she would have teased him to call her "Ms. Sir."

However, Liu Yechen suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, his cheeks heated up, and he was so embarrassed...

Chapter 18 Lively

Mrs. Fang was originally very angry that her eldest son was so disobedient, but her younger son was still helping. But Liu Yechen burst into laughter when he was so confused. He grabbed Liu Yechen's hand and said, "My son!"

Fang originally disagreed with her eldest son's marriage, but seeing her eldest son insisting so much, her younger son started beating the drum again. After thinking about it, I also felt that he was somewhat sorry for not getting married before.

No father or mother can control his children better than him, if he doesn't agree to this matter. If you really find a woman according to your own wishes, and if you don't look back, your whole family will also suffer.

In a moment, Mrs. Fang had already thought a lot and said, "That's all, I really owe you."

Fang Shujing reminded the elder brother beside him and said, "Mom, did you agree?"

"If you don't agree, you'll have to look back. What did Li Xiuer say?" Then he went out.

Brother Fang originally thought that his mother's opposition meant she was unwilling to agree, but who would have thought that things would take a turn for the worse.

As soon as Fang left, Brother Fang wanted to follow him. Before leaving, Fang Shujing said, "Thank you."

Fang Shujing said, "There's no point in thanking me. You should thank my wife properly!"

Liu Yechen's ears seemed to be burning. Seems like it.

Brother Fang thanked him innocently, and then chased him out.

Fang Shujing and Liu Yechen were the only ones left in the room. Said: "When this matter is over, brother, I will marry you in all glory!"

Liu Yechen didn't answer, he was still unhappy with his luck, angry at himself for not living up to expectations, and liking the person Fang Shujing liked. Everyone knows.

Fang Shujing saw that his daughter-in-law was so cute and there was no one around, so she kissed him secretly.

Xu Quan saw Liu Yechen running away and said, "What's going on, young lady?"

Then he saw his young master's look of afterthought.

Fang Shujing saw Xu Quan and said, "Go back and urge the tailor shop in the county to make the wedding dress quickly." He couldn't wait any longer.

Xu Quan hummed.

Xu Quan said: "Did Madam just go to kiss Li Xiuer?" He was a smart man and listened.

Fang Shujing flicked him and his brain collapsed. He said: "You are everywhere." Then he remembered something and said: "Aunt Wang has a niece who is about the same age as you. You can meet her. If it happens, I will prepare a generous gift for you."

Although Xu Quan also More than ten years old. But I still think of myself as a child. Said: "Master, you don't have to worry about it!"

Fang Shujing said: "I don't care who cares about your affairs." Then he said: "When men get married when they are young, when girls get married, what is there to be ashamed of?"

Xu Quan rarely His cheeks turned red, and he turned back to the house without even listening to the gossip.

This made Fang Shujing laugh.

...

Fang went to find Li Xiuer.

Li Xiuer was quite nervous and said at this moment: "Auntie." She also knew that her conditions were not high enough to reach the Fang family.

Her daughter Tiantian seemed to have sensed her emotions, so she hid behind her, shrunk herself down, and tilted her head to look over from time to time.

Mrs. Fang observed her carefully when she came here, and had long heard that her life was not going well, but seeing it with her own eyes still made her feel a little bit more compassionate.

He didn't have anything, and the clothes she was wearing didn't know how many years ago. They were so gray that they couldn't tell the original color.

She is also very thin.

Mrs. Fang was not a hard-hearted person. When she saw this look, she sighed quietly and said, "My son has already told you all about you!"

Li Xiuer's heart suddenly rose and she was nervous. Looked at Fang.

Mrs. Fang said: "I know my son likes you. I wanted you to be my daughter-in-law before you came out of the cabinet. Forget it, forget about the past. There is no one else here. You can say a word to my aunt. , Do you really want to live with Dalang or do you have something to hide? "Getting married is not a trivial matter, both people must agree.

If both of them had the same intention, she would not be guilty of being such a bad person.

Li Xiuer said: "Auntie, I know I am not worthy of Brother Fang, but if you agree, I will definitely serve him well. I want to live a good life with him!" A woman has no land or skills and wants to support herself and her daughter. It's too difficult.

She couldn't stay alone like this. It would be a blessing to her ancestors if she could find someone as honest and willing to work as Brother Fang.

Besides, Brother Fang also likes Tiantian. Once you get married, you don't have to worry about being bullied.

Li Xiuer's eyes turned red, and Mrs. Fang couldn't bear it.

Fang said: "Since you said so, you must take good care of Dalang in the future."

Li Xiuer felt that it was impossible for Fang to agree, but she did not expect that she actually agreed. I can't seem to stop crying for some reason, and I feel like my dreams have come true!

Brother Fang hurriedly arrived from outside. Just as he was about to come in, he saw the neighbor's sister-in-law criticizing Huai. He hesitated for a moment whether to come in or not. At this moment, he heard a whimpering sound coming from inside.

One is his sweetheart, and the other is his mother. No matter who they are, they don't want him to be wronged. Not caring about anything else at the moment, he rushed in quickly, only to see Li Xiuer crying like a tearful person.

Brother Fang said: "What...what's going on?" Then he asked Mr. Fang.

Mrs. Fang said: "You really have forgotten your mother when you have a daughter-in-law." She also deliberately said with a tigerish face: "Why, you thought I bullied her. I said, since you two are good friends, don't delay I checked the date and it will be an auspicious day. After getting married,

Brother Fang was immediately happy: "Thank you, mother."

Fang said, "I don't dare not agree, I'm afraid it's you." I don't even recognize this mother."

Brother Fang smiled stupidly and said, "Mom, you will always be my mother."

Mrs. Fang said from the side: "Humph."

Then Mrs. Fang said to Li Xiuer, "Bring this child over and raise it. But the precursor has been agreed upon. We don't recognize the two relatives, whether it's your mother's family or her ex-husband's family. If anyone comes to criticize her in the future, she will be scolded."

Li Xiuer said, "Both the child and I will be scolded. Being forced out by them, I thought they were both dead."

Fang said, "I feel relieved with your words." Then she said, "You are here to make preparations. Since I have married you, that's it." A serious matchmaker and six hires are just like getting married for the first time! I only want these two sons, and I won't let any of them be wronged."

Li Xiuer hummed.

Fang Dalang next to him smiled silly.

Mr. Fang got angry when he looked at his stupidity and said, "What are you still doing here? You are also about to get married. Hurry up and get ready." Brother Fang

hummed, and then looked at Li Xiu'er one more time, saying a thousand words. I wanted to say something, but I couldn't say anything at the moment.

This time when people in the village heard that Mr. Fang was looking for Li Xiuer, they thought he was going to tear the little bitch apart. There is only one son in the family who is obsessed with others. As a result, shocking news came: Fang agreed to her marriage to her eldest son.

Why was Mrs. Fang so obsessed with hanging herself from a tree called Li Xiuer?

It didn't take long for Fang to start preparing for Fang Dalang's marriage.

Some things were prepared in advance, and the betrothal gift amounted to sixteen tons. There were silks, cloths, various foodstuffs, cabinets and beddings, as well as two silver bracelets, a pair of silver hairpins and five taels of silver.

The people in the village were shocked that marrying a widow made such a big fuss.

Chapter 19 Motivation

Li Xiuer's brother and sister-in-law heard about this and came to Li Xiuer that night to recognize their relatives. With a smile on her face, she said, "Sister, you are so promising."

The Fang family valued her quite a bit, and even her first marriage was nothing more than that. What's more, she is a second marriage.

Li Xiuer didn't have a good face towards them. She and her daughter were almost starving to death and wanted to join them, but they were kicked out.

In the end, the neighbor couldn't bear it anymore and gave the child something to eat.

Now, seeing how profitable it is, I've found him again. Li Xiuer said: "I am a married daughter who has nothing to do with my mother's family. The Fang family's bride price was agreed to be money for our young couple to live on. It is impossible to give you a penny."

Brother Li did not expect that his originally soft-tempered sister would now actually Like a hedgehog, he said: "The Fang family is so generous, just to earn some money for themselves. How can there be such a good thing in the world if they want to marry a rich man for free?" Then he threatened Li Xiuer: "My family My son wants money to marry me, but he is worried that he has no money. It just happens that you are a widow. If they want to take advantage of you later, they will still need your parents' support."

Li Xiuer sneered and said: "No need. Even if they treat me badly, I will admit it." Having experienced poverty, she knows what kind of people her brother and sister-in-law are. They are usually the first to arrive when they smell money, and they run away faster than anyone else if they don't have money.

Sister-in-law Li said to Li Xiu'er: "Your brother is so talkative and heartless. His heart is not bad. Although some words he said before hurt your heart, there is no time in the family when the tongue does not touch the teeth. You have to know something." "Don't be disrespectful."

Li Xiu'er said: "If you don't leave, I will call someone and let everyone see how you forced your sister to death."

Brother Li said, "Are you really going to do this?" Li Xiuer

hardened her heart and said: "From now on, I will treat you as no longer a relative. Don't worry, even if I want food in the future, I will not come to your doorstep."

There was no need to show off, so he left cursing.

Both of them were very angry. In the end, it was the sister-in-law who was so scheming and said: "There is no need for her to be proud now. The Fang family is the most important person, otherwise it would be impossible to find a widow and have such a grand and prosperous life. We can't be too hasty yet. A few days later, on the day of her wedding, we ask a few people for money, and we don't believe they can refuse to give it."

When Brother Li heard this, he cheered and said fiercely: "If they refuse to give money, don't tell me that I will give them money. The wedding banquet was ruined. "

...

The news reached Fang Shujing's ears somehow. When his eldest brother got married, there were actually people planning to make a big fuss at the wedding banquet. This was not surprising, so he immediately went to find Brother Orion Liu. Fang Shujing had healed his leg before and now he can move freely.

Seeing Fang Shujing talking, he immediately said: "I'll look for some Orion brothers later. No matter who comes, I'll beat him until his teeth are all over the ground." People who can be hunters are strong. It is not easy to deal with a few lazy farmers.

Fang Shujing didn't let them come in vain, and gave each of them ten cents.

Brother Liu said: "They are all my brothers. How much money do you need? When your eldest brother gets married, there is a lot of money to spend." He refused again and again.

Fang Shujing insisted on giving it and said: "These are two different things. I've delayed their wages for half a day, so I treat them as a drink."

Brother Liu couldn't shirk it and had to agree.

After Fang Shujing left, he was full of praise for his daughter-in-law, Xiao Liu: "Fang Shujing is indeed a scholar, and he is open-minded in everything he does. His family has been very kind to our family. Since he asked for help, he must help. Otherwise, I can't Don't rely on you."

"Don't worry about that." Brother Liu said, "I know it." Now that his legs are strong, he can take this opportunity to contact his former brothers again.

A few days passed by in a flash. The Li family brother and sister-in-law found a dozen nearby rogues and wanted to have a big meal at the Fang family. Finally, take away the betrothal gift. It was quite a beautiful thought, but who knew that as soon as they entered the village, a group of muscular men surrounded them. Those arms are thicker than other people's thighs. No matter how you look at it, he looks like he is not easy to mess with!

These rogues can't even enter the village.

Brother Li frowned. He could already hear the sound of blowing and beating in his ears. He said: "Get out of the way, good dogs don't block the way." He couldn't delay his important event.

As a result, his voice completely angered these ten hunters. They usually run in the mountains and have fought with wild beasts like brown bears and tigers. They are afraid of these naughty bastards and beat them up. Brother Li, including Brother Li, also wants to have a wedding banquet without looking at how much he weighs. How many taels?

After a while, the rogues were thrown out of the village, lying on the grass one by one, groaning.

"Ouch."

"It hurts..."

"All the bones in my body are broken."

All the gangsters glared at Brother Li, hoping to threaten others and have another meal at the same time. The result was that he was beaten like this. It's all on Brother Li. Brother Li's neck started to feel cold when he saw it.

The Fang family's wedding banquet was lively.

There were two more people at home, and it was early the next morning. Fang got up and found that the food was ready. The carpentry tools in the yard were neatly arranged, and the chickens and ducks in the backyard were fed.

Mrs. Fang grabbed Li Xiu'er who was still doing it and said, "You just got married. You must be tired. Go and rest for a while."

Li Xiu'er knew that she was a widow, and was afraid of being rejected by others, so she said, "It's okay, it's just a small thing. I'm used to doing

all the work." Fang said, "Good boy, the hard days are over. His father and I don't want to do anything. It's important if you can give birth to a son for me as soon as possible. "Fang Dalang should have been a father for a long time at this age, but she was delayed in the past. Now that I have finally gotten married, I just want to catch up with the progress of others in a few years. It is best to have two in three years.

Li Xiuer hummed.

While the two were talking, Fang Dalang came out. Maybe he was in a hurry to find a wife and didn't even have time to pick up his shoes. Seeing Li Xiuer in the yard, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Mrs. Fang got angry when she saw her son's naive look: "Your wife gets up to work before dawn. She cleaned up the land at home, and you can still sleep."

Brother Fang suddenly said: "I'm tired . It's broken, go back and rest for a while."

In front of her mother-in-law, Li Xiuer said: "I'm not tired."

After a while, she saw a small shadow and said: "Mom, the Fang family's house is big, so Tiantian can do it. Got a house. Yesterday, Mrs. Fang put the child to sleep before returning to the house. We don't spend much time together, but this little girl is very sensible.

"Let's eat quickly." The family had a reunion dinner.

It's different now that he has a wife. Brother Fang works hard now.

Finally, the cabinet that Fang Shujing wanted was made and hung to dry in the yard. People in the village who had ordered cabinets here came to see it several times a day.

Everyone likes the good stuff, and if it wasn't too expensive, more people would order it.

I don't know how the Fang family's reputation for making cabinets spread. Many people from nearby villages came to ask for help in making cabinets.

The current list is already two years away!

...

Brother Liu had a wedding banquet at Fang's house yesterday. These days, not every household can drink wine.

The soju the Fang family bought was so strong that a person like him, who hadn't had a drink in several years, got drunk after just a few sips. I slept until today.

At this moment, he rubbed his swollen temples and said to Mr. Liu: "I had an idea yesterday that I haven't discussed with you yet."

Mr. Liu was mending clothes beside him. Today, he is still poor, but he has a lot of heart. A little bit of hope. Now I am happy every day.

At this moment, he asked: "What's the matter?"

Brother Liu said: "Didn't many of my brothers come over to help yesterday? They didn't want to run into the mountains anymore." It used to be okay when they were young and strong, but now everyone has a There are too many snakes, insects, rats, ants and all kinds of ferocious beasts on the mountain. Although you make money, it is like hanging your life on your waistband. You never know when you will be unlucky and you will not be able to come back.

He had accumulated a lot of illnesses while doing this before, otherwise he would not have been easily attacked by Xu Ziyang, and ended up suffering from paralysis. After experiencing life and death, he thought about it. Health is more important than anything else. He thought for a while and said, "I think there are many people coming to Fang's house to order cabinets. Otherwise, we can make some hard money by being porters to help with transportation." The more he thought about it, the more feasible it became. The price of the trip is not high, but it is a stable income.

The two carpenters in the Fang family can't finish the carpentry work. How can they have time to deliver the goods themselves? Fang Shujing is also a scholar, and it is even more impossible for him to do such physical work.

His brothers also have a lot of strength, and this job is almost made for them.

Little Liu didn't understand this either, and usually it was her own men who made the decisions. Said: "Then go back and talk to them."

Brother Liu went over and talked about this idea. The Fang family was very happy: "It's done." They were worried that no one would deliver the goods.

Brother Liu was waiting for work from the Fang family. He sold all the furs he had saved at home a while ago, scraped together some money to build a small cart, and found a few brothers who were down-to-earth and willing to work. When there was no work, he would first Go sell some wild vegetables from the countryside. They all married in cash with copper coins. People in the countryside were willing to sell goods to him, and life soon became prosperous.

Chapter 20 Storybook

The Shaodong family of the study now wants to find Fang Shujing. The first book by Bei Weng that was published was a big hit, and the second set of books has gained experience and is still on sale like last time. The first book of "Return to Jiuhua Mountain" published this time does not have any illustrations in the book. The number of words is so solid that it is enough for others to publish two books!

There are obviously no pictures, but the picture can be seen from the text. Read it in one sitting and enjoy it heartily.

Nowadays, the market is full of all kinds of romance novels, and here comes a story about reborn immortals and demons full of imagination. After reading it, I was very worried and wanted to know what was written next. It was an instant hit once launched. Many people want to read the story behind it.

The young master in the study also felt secretly happy that finally someone was like him. As the first reader, he was tortured in this way.

Reading the storybook is addictive. It seems like I can't stop at all. Now there are many people outside the study who are eager to stop, asking every day when the second volume of "Return to Jiuhua Mountain" will be released.

In the first book, the protagonist came to a secret place to hunt for treasure, but found that the bottom of the lake was glowing.

Everyone is scratching their heads. This guy Bei Weng is so bad. Why can't he write it down?

The shopkeeper sent away another batch: "It's true that we haven't come out yet. When we come out, we will notify you right away."

The scholars walked back and forth three times.

The shopkeeper's lips were almost worn thin, and he answered the same words countless times every day.

Seeing Shaodong's family asking: "When will the new book come out?" He has been the bookkeeper of the study for half his life, and this is the first time he has published such a popular story book. He is afraid that the scholars who have read the first volume will be dissatisfied and tear it down.

I feel that these dissatisfied scholars are very likely to do such a thing.

Shaodong's family said: "I want to find it too." Only now did he discover something. He and Fang Shujing had a single line of contact. Now the book is selling like crazy.

Such a popular book has never been reprinted.

He was quite surprised but then he understood. This book is too long, and it will take a long time to copy it. With this popularity, almost everyone has bought it!

Even if I try hard to copy it, it will be a failure.

They made all the money alone. One book actually earned a hundred taels, and some people bought five or ten copies. Said it was going to be sent to brothers from other places!

For the first time since joining Fang Shujing, I felt that I was being hamstrung in collecting money. The storybook sold well, which also led to some other items in the store. I sold pen and ink in one month, which usually takes half a year to sell. Paper inkstone!

The young owner of the study discussed with the shopkeeper: "I want to buy him a house in the county." Let him use it as a place to write his storybook. You can find people this way.

The shopkeeper said: "You'd better discuss it with him. I see Mr. Fang is a man with great ideas. Wouldn't it be bad if we turned against him because of our own initiative?"

"Hey, that's right." The young master of the study came home recently. I always feel like someone is following me sneakily behind me.

Most likely, people from other studies wanted to spy on him and see who he contacted.

Isn't he just selling a storybook, and he actually made such a big fuss?

At this time, Fang Shujing came.

The young master of the study had a look of surprise on his face, and immediately arranged the people into the living room in the backyard.

Just when he was extremely anxious, Fang Shujing suddenly appeared. In his eyes, it was nothing more than the arrival of a god.

Fang Shujing said: "There have been a lot of things at home recently, so I came a little late."

The young master immediately took out a one hundred tael silver note and said, "This is the money for the sale, plus the advance payment for the next book. " "I'm afraid that Fang Shujing will be poached by others. The pen name Fang Shujing is his treasure. He can't let others fool him. It's better to give him money."

Fang Shujing was very satisfied with his approach. Recently, he wanted to marry their daughter-in-law in a glamorous manner. He spent a lot of money in preparation and money was very tight. This money greatly relieved his urgent need.

The young master then began to praise him for his good writing, and now all the scholars in the county are looking forward to the second book.

Due to waiting for too long, some messy fan versions have appeared on the market. Since they have similar names, they are now the best-selling storybooks in the county.

Fang Shujing also didn't expect that his story book could be sold at such a scale, so he took out the second and third volumes.

The young master is like a treasure. Each of these two books has 50,000 to 60,000 words according to the previous method. The two books combined are enough for him to read for a while.

Fang Shujing said: "Do you have a version written by others? I'll collect it later and give it to me." He was really curious and didn't know how others would write this story.

The shopkeeper said: "We have them all." As an old businessman for so many years, it goes without saying that he has already prepared these things.

Fang Shujing signed the deed. I checked the sales ledger here again. He paid dividends and recorded every transaction in great detail.

Since it is expected by so many people, I have to write it well. He planned to go back and refine the subsequent ideas so as not to disappoint others.

When Fang Shujing was about to leave, he was stopped by the young master of the study. He hesitated for a moment and said, "How can I find you on weekdays?"

Fang Shujing directly wrote an address and handed it to him!

The young master carefully put this thing away, fearing that something might go wrong.

Then I went over to read the rest of the story.

Fang Shujing bought a lot of blank notebooks, pens, ink, paper and inkstones before leaving this time. Since he has calmed down, he has become more thoughtful when writing articles. He always remembers his teacher's teachings and cannot give up.

My husband's birthday is coming soon. In addition to the normal birthday gifts, I can also bring two articles to make him happy.

After doing all this, Fang Shujing went back.

When Fang Shujing left, there was a scholar with a scarf on his head who said, "Bring me a storybook." The

clerk said, "Didn't you just buy one two days ago?"

The scholar in the square scarf said with a sad face: "Forget it, I read it during class and it was confiscated by the teacher." It hurts to think about it, he is not a rich man. It cost 100 yuan to buy a storybook. It took him a long time to save it, but before he could see the back, his husband confiscated it. He was scratching his head and wanted to see the plot behind it. His classmate said that each of them would pay half of the money to buy it together. Buy it and watch it together.

The guy quickly picked up a copy.

The scholar happily took it back, thinking that he would have to hide it well this time. Their private school was the strictest in seizing the script. Then I put it in my clothes, thinking that this time it would be foolproof, but who would have thought that I would be afraid of something happening? As soon as I returned, I was caught by the husband. He said: "Stand still!"

The scholar was so scared that he was paralyzed on the spot. He couldn't be so unlucky. He just hid a book and was discovered by others?

The gentleman brought him into the house and said with a serious face: "Don't tell anyone what I told you today."

The scholar was so frightened that he almost cried on the spot.

The gentleman said: "Do you have the following words?"

Scholar:...
