MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 34
When the couple went down the mountain, they carried and carried them on their backs, and they didn't catch any wild animals this time. Zhang Fangyuan joked that he wanted to sell hunting tools to hunters.
But today he negotiated a deal with Wang Jiu, and Orion gave him half a rabbit, so he did not return empty-handed.
It was already sunset at home, Xu He lit a fire to cook, and after putting the food in the pot to heat up, he couldn't wait to clean up the wild vegetables brought back from the mountain. Unexpectedly, after marrying, he would have an extra helper to do things for him .
Zhang Fangyuan took out the big dustpan at home, and put all the wild vegetables and bamboo shoots he dug in the dustpan to dry. Xu He went over and carried the wild onion out, put it in the footbasin and rinsed the root hairs with water, and washed the part of the onion sticking into the soil to make it bright white, he said to Zhang Fangyuan: "I'll take care of these. "
Meaning he can go inside and rest.
It was the same in the Xu family before. He was busy cooking and tending the animals. Xu Changren, who came back from the work, washed his hands in the yard and went to rest in the middle hall to wait for the meal. His mother would sweep the yard. Find something in the house.
It's not just their family. In fact, most families in the village are like this. The men rest when they go home, and the women's brothers run the house.
Zhang Fangyuan just patted Xu He's head and didn't answer his words.
Xu He stroked the green onion, glanced at the busy Zhang Fangyuan, and felt warm in his heart.
At night, the two of them had another meal with the leftovers from the banquet, and they gave away a lot today, Zhang Fangyuan could eat a lot of food in one meal, so there was not much left.
After going up the mountain, they sweated a lot. After eating, the two of them took a shower one after the other. Zhang Fangyuan, who had washed first, wore a pair of underpants that reached half of his thighs, and lay on a bamboo chair with his arms pillowed on him. The door was wide open, and he was waiting for Xu He to wash up and go to bed together.
Brother He really didn't talk much, and the two of them didn't say anything when they came back at night. If Zhang Fangyuan didn't speak, Xu He might not say a word for a long time. Even so, Zhang Fangyuan looked at the dark courtyard outside the central hall, and he still felt that the house was much more lively.
But in just one day, he felt that this empty home was filled with Xu He busy doing things everywhere, even if he didn't speak, he was very content.
In the past, he decided that he would never stay alone in the middle hall for so long in such a comfortable posture. After dark, he would go back to the room early to stay. No matter how powerful a person is, he is always afraid of being alone.
"It's done."
When Xu He came out with his clothes in his arms, he saw Zhang Fangyuan leaning on the chair with his legs crossed. After a while, the man's smooth muscle lines could be seen at a glance. The muscles in his abdomen were one by one, which was very different from his soft belly. Thinking that this person was pressing on him like this last night, his ears felt inexplicably hot, and he looked away slightly.
"Oh~ Is your hair wet, do you want me to wipe it for you?"
Seeing the person coming out, Zhang Fangyuan quickly retracted his stretched limbs, and saw that Xu He's hair was well tied. Although he was not wearing a coat, he was wrapped in long-sleeved trousers and wrapped himself tightly, even at the collar. Not even a little bit of her chest was exposed.
He thought he would be a little disappointed and couldn't feast his eyes, but he didn't expect Xu He's behavior to make him even more excited. He wanted to pick him up and throw him on the bed right now, but thinking of the unharmonious relationship last night, he calmed down again.
"It's not wet. I'm going to wash the clothes first."
Zhang Fangyuan reached out and grabbed the person: "I'll wash it tomorrow."
Xu He doesn't like to put off work until tomorrow, because there are a lot of things to do every day, if you dodge for a while, then tomorrow's things may not be finished; "It's not in the way."
"Zhang Fangyuan!"
As soon as the words were finished, Xu He suddenly had his feet dangling in the air, and was horrified to find that his husband hugged his legs, took advantage of the gap between his slightly bent waist, and carried him onto his shoulders effortlessly. He was so frightened that he was at a loss, and in a panic hugged Zhang Fangyuan's neck: "Put me down quickly!"
Zhang Fangyuan agreed, and then put him on the bed.
Xu He was still holding the clothes that the two had just changed. He knelt on the soft bed and his chest was still heaving rapidly. Zhang Fangyuan took the clothes in his hand, threw them on the stool beside him, lifted the quilt, and stuffed the person in.
He got up again and went out to close the doors and windows. When he came back, he turned on the light and got into bed.
It was rare for Xu He to go to bed so early. He lay beside Zhang Fangyuan and couldn't fall asleep. The two of them lay flat like that for a while, and Xu He felt a hand stretched out from his waist.
He knew... the room was dark, and he closed his eyes resignedly, ready to receive some "teaching".
Unexpectedly, Zhang Fangyuan only put his arms around his waist, and habitually stretched his legs to clamp him, and the two of them stuck together, but he stopped there and didn't do anything else.
He thought, this person urged him to go to bed early, wasn't he just thinking about what happened yesterday, why didn't he move now?
Could it be that he is not happy? But he didn't say anything! Could it be that he felt that going to do the laundry was actually an excuse for himself? He didn't!
Xu He thought carefully, as long as it was Zhang Fangyuan, if he wanted to do that, he would cooperate even if he felt uncomfortable. He didn't know men well, and he was not good at expressing and saying nice things to please others, but he still wanted Zhang Fangyuan to be happy as much as possible.
"you…"
Zhang Fangyuan felt the person in his arms move, and he opened his eyes: "What's wrong?"
"Don't you tonight..." Xu He couldn't find any words to describe the thing that made him blush, and after a long time, he uttered: "You don't want to teach me?"
"..."
How could you not want to.
It's fine if you don't mention it, but if you mention it, you feel like the shower is in vain.
But Zhang Fangyuan just hugged Xu He honestly. He didn't want his wife to feel like a beast with only that in mind. Harmony is nothing but disharmony.
Such a quiet person as Xu He couldn't hold his teeth and screamed that he was in pain. He was a little bit frustrated in his confidence, and he couldn't let Xu He feel happy by himself.
"Let's talk about it in two days. I'm a little tired today."
"?"
Xu He couldn't believe his ears. When he was hugged just now, he looked so energetic that he could plow ten acres of land at one go, but now he is tired again? You didn't do much work today, did you?
He just can't guess what a man thinks, and he knows it's not the truth, but it's impossible to force him to teach it. In fact, it's best not to teach it, so as not to suffer, but he only thought for a second.
How can people face difficulties and retreat?
"If you want, I... don't mind."
Zhang Fangyuan said with his amazing willpower: "Don't do it, sleep."
Xu He could only nod his head.
So here comes the problem again.
Should he be very happy now, or should he be very regretful?
Who will tell him! He wished it would never get dark so there would be no more uncomfortable questions for both of them.
"Then, go to bed early, and I will cook noodles for you tomorrow morning?"
Zhang Fangyuan responded dryly: "...OK."
Xu He pursed his lips, and he stretched out his hand to tuck the corner of the quilt for the big dog, covering his exposed strong chest.
The chest can be covered, but the desire cannot be covered.
Zhang Fangyuan sighed leisurely.
There was no activity at night, and the two of them got up very early the next day. Xu He kneaded and cooked the noodles in one go. He used the leftover pickled vegetables from the banquet and chopped the meat into minced meat. Stewed the cooked noodles with the cooked noodles. Serve the scorpion seeds, sprinkle some chopped green onion, Zhang Fangyuan ate a big bowl before leaving the door.
He harnessed the carriage: "First, I talked about a family in the next village. I'll go see if he sells it today. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."
Xu He put away the bowls and chopsticks in response, and didn't go out to see Zhang Fangyuan off, but watched people go out of the yard from the window of the kitchen room before scooping up the water from the pot to wash the dishes. After tidying up the kitchen, he washed the clothes that he didn't wash yesterday and dried them in the yard. After doing this, he found that he seemed to have nothing to do.
At least there is nothing to do that should be done that day, which makes him a little worried. It is really hard work, but he is not used to it when he is free.
He was looking for something to do, went into the house and cleaned all the rooms, sorted out the big box he brought when he got married, and hung up the few ugly clothes that Zhang Fangyuan bought for him. in the closet.
The huge cabinet was empty, like a clear sky with only a few clouds floating in it. He folded his body and hung Zhang Fangyuan's clothes in it, so the cabinet looked a bit like a wardrobe.
One side of the clothes hanging on the horizontal bar is long, wide and big, and the other side is obviously shorter, at least two sizes smaller. The long and short ones look a little cute.
Xu He closed the cabinet, stood at the door of the cabinet, and slightly curled the corners of his lips.
"Zhang Tuzi, you're here. The water in the house is on fire. I don't know for sure. I'm afraid you won't come."
When Zhang Fangyuan arrived in the neighboring village, he saw the agreed family, old and young, looking around several times on the road outside the yard.
"Since I said it, even if you change your mind and don't sell it, I will come over and ask for clarification."
"Okay, okay, it's good to be here. It happens that the pig has been slaughtered and eaten for lunch before going back."
Zhang Fangyuan saw that the sun was not high enough, thinking about the noodles that he ate at home this morning, he waved his hand: "I still have things to do, so I won't stay."
"Let's go, watch the pigs."
The pigs raised by this family are not very strong, they can only be seen with the naked eye, and they will shrink after being slaughtered, which did not meet Zhang Fangyuan's expectations, but it is not always possible to meet good ones, he thought very clear. But he is not a kind person who does business by himself, and if his appearance is not good enough, he directly expresses his badness in the bid.
"Ba Wen."
The old man put his hands behind his back and didn't answer, his face was obviously a little disappointed.
It is not the first time for Zhang Fangyuan to buy pigs. When he is looking for a purchase, he will also give out some benefits to make it easier for the owner to accept: "Pig blood and pig heart and lungs can be kept for the family to eat."
The old man's complexion improved a lot, and he agreed immediately. Farmers who live their lives know that pigs are not strong enough to be sold at a high price. It would be great if the butcher offered some profit.
Zhang Fangyuan slaughtered the pig right now, and he handled it very quickly. It was rectified within an hour, and the pork was carried to his own carriage.
The old man didn't expect Zhang Fangyuan to move so fast. He hurriedly put away the money and chatted again: "Zhang Tuzi, where can you collect sheep? There are two at home, and they are already fat."
Zhang Fangyuan frowned. He hadn't sold it yet, so he could try it, but it would definitely fail today. He had already promised to sell wild goods, so how could he dare to collect sheep.
"Remember, let's do it next time. In the future, if you have goods, you can go to the stall to tell them, or you can go to your house."
The old man was not stubborn: "Success, come and go often."
Zhang Fangyuan urged the horse back, and when he arrived home, it was hot. The yard was still empty when I went out in the morning. This morning, I dried the clothes again and added a few big dustpans.
He jumped out of the carriage and took a look. In the dustpan, there were spring bamboo shoots and bracken that had been soaked in water, and the bamboo shoots were already sliced. Xu He dug out the pickle jar that had not been used for a long time under the cupboard in the kitchen, and was preparing to make pickles with raw water from the jar. He was washing the jar when he heard the sound of a horse outside, and he immediately put down his work.
"So early? Have you eaten yet?"
Zhang Fangyuan said: "The master will not prepare."
Xu He's brows were tightened, which family was so picky: "You go into the house to rest, and I will cook for you."
"have you eaten?"
Zhang Fangyuan didn't care about the pork in the yard, and went straight into the kitchen. Seeing that the kitchen seemed to have been washed overnight, he was slightly surprised, but after half a day, how capable is this little brother? How many jobs come out.
"Me neither."
"It's just right, fry the pig sand liver."
Xu He wanted to say that eating meat all the time was too economical, but thinking about Zhang Fangyuan's physical work, he could not eat it, but his husband couldn't, so he agreed.
"The pigs are not big this time, which ones are you looking to keep?"
Zhang Fangyuan made arrangements on his own: "Let's keep a cage of lard, and then you can cook it for cooking."
Xu He nodded.
"What else?" Zhang Fangyuan turned the pig into the water: "Do you want to eat the pig liver?"
Zhang Fangyuan felt that Xu He was not willing to choose, so he tore off two of the leanest pork tenderloins: "Tomorrow, there will be a stall in the city, fry it and take it to eat at noon."
Xu He: This man... No wonder Mr. He said that he has a lot of money and needs to be taken care of.
The two were discussing what to eat at noon, and another person came outside. Xu He recognized Wang Jiu who he saw on the mountain yesterday, and he came to deliver mountain goods this morning.
"Just came back from slaughtering a pig?"
"Yes." Zhang Fangyuan beckoned people to come in and sit down, and Xu He went in to pour water. Wang Jiu put the basket on his back under the eaves and asked Zhang Fangyuan to count the prey.
Two hares, four pheasants, and a 30-jin tender sheep were all common prey. Fortunately, the sheep from the neighboring villages were not harvested, otherwise they would have been piled up.
For example, these mountain meats are not considered fat, but the taste and taste are different from the pork that ordinary people buy and cook. They are said to be delicacies in the mountains by scholars. Rabbit meat from mountain products is twenty renminbi, and chicken is more nourishing. The price is ten renminbi more expensive than rabbit meat, and mutton is even more expensive, forty renminbi a catty.
These are the prices of mountain products. If they are domesticated, the price will be much cheaper, and the price of fur meat is processed. This kind of product is still raw, and it is a purchase price. It must not be able to afford such a high price.
The two discussed briefly, and the purchase price was the market price minus eight to ten. After a brief weighing, Zhang Fangyuan gave Wang Jiu a total of 1,350 yuan.
It was Xu He who counted the money.
Zhang Fangyuan politely stayed Wang Jiu for dinner, but Wang Jiu didn't stay. Instead, he chose a basket of pig liver and pig heart on the cart, and spent forty renminbi in the money for selling mountain goods, and carried it home contentedly. up.
Xu He felt a little distressed. Half of the gift money he received for the wedding was gone at once. He prayed that the mountain goods he received would sell well.
