MTL - Rebirth Married The Control Group Fulang-Chapter 20
Zhang Fangyuan held his breath and turned over the ground, and then his anger finally subsided. He knocked down the **** and sat on the handle of the hoe, sweating on his forehead.
He took out a handkerchief from his waistband to wipe his sweat, and stared at Xu He beside him.
"You don't want to associate with Fei Lian anymore."
Xu He looked at the very familiar handkerchief in Zhang Fangyuan's hand, which had been tucked close to his chest for some time. His ears were red and hot, and he was not to be outdone by the butcher's fierce tone: What are you listening to!"
"Tell me what he gave you, and I'll buy it for you." Zhang Fangyuan saw that no matter how loud his voice was, he couldn't scare people, but made Xu He even more furious. In the end, he was discouraged, and turned to soften his tone: "I beg you, please."
Seeing Zhang Fangyuan's almost begging appearance, Xu He's ears turned red: "You, why are you telling me these things?"
After finishing speaking, he said again: "Besides, he didn't give me anything, he just wrote a few words for me to recognize."
Zhang Fangyuan's thick eyebrows moved: "Although I haven't entered a serious academy, I can also read. I can teach you how to read if you want."
Xu He didn't answer, but actually wanted to tell Zhang Fangyuan that Fei Lian was about to become his brother-in-law and had nothing to do with him, and it was impossible for someone like him to want to have anything to do with him.
But his mother has confessed that he can't make it public until the matter is completely settled, otherwise it will be difficult to find relatives if something goes wrong.
Zhang Fangyuan saw that he stopped talking again, his whole body was very frizzy, and he didn't feel any strength anywhere: "Why don't you talk?"
"what do you want me to say."
"Tell me you know! Say you come to me in the future if you have anything to do!"
Xu He was angry, but he couldn't help Zhang Fangyuan: "You...how are you like this."
Zhang Fangyuan saw that he would not say what he wanted to hear, so he was depressed for a while, and then said: "Why don't you use the hair tie I gave you, don't you like it?"
"No." Xu He squatted down and cut the weeds that Chunxin had grown, and went back later to feed the ducks: "Who would bring such a good thing down?"
Zhang Fangyuan's heart suddenly became flustered again: "Then you can bring it to the Huachao Festival in a few days."
"..."
"Take it, I want to see you take it."
"we'll talk about it then."
Xu He heard someone talking in the distance, glanced at Zhang Fangyuan who seemed to be born in the field, and urged in a low voice: "You go back first."
"You chased me away after you finished your work, why didn't you chase Fei Lian, why don't you want to see me so much?!"
Started shouting again.
This person was not like this before.
Xu He could only stroke the fur of the fried pug: "It's good for you to stand here and let people see it, it's time to talk about it again."
Although Zhang Fangyuan didn't care much about his reputation, it was a mess, but Xu He was a little brother after all, different from a man. Although he was upset when he heard the words, he didn't refute and stood up by himself: "Then I'll just go."
His tone was sour.
"..."
"Next...see you next time."
"I'll be waiting for you at Haitang Bay at the beginning of the Huachao Festival!"
Xu He looked up and saw Zhang Fangyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and it seemed to have a big tail growing behind him, wagging at him all the time.
After speaking, without waiting for him to agree or refuse, he climbed up the field ridge and ran away in a flash.
Xu He held the sickle, and the redness of his ears had spread to his unchanging cheeks.
...
The second pig that Zhang Fangyuan bought was a bit smaller, and the meat was not as much as the first one, but the selling speed was not as fast as the first one. One is that when the first head was sold, it was fifteen years ago, and there were many people buying meat, and the other was that the meat was fat and easy to sell.
It took a few days of work, but fortunately it was sold out, but it earned a thousand pennies. The butcher's business earns faster than ordinary people, but he spends a lot of money, and he can't save money. He is setting up a stall in the city for a while, and he eats and drinks in the city, takes out and buys some things. The money I saved was only 2,000 yuan.
There was still more than 1,000 yuan left for the bracelet before taking it out, and there was still 4,000 yuan in total.
Today he went to another village to order a pig, and tomorrow he went to slaughter it and transport it directly to the city. He had to sell the pig for slaughter before the Huachao Festival.
As soon as he got home, Zhang Fangyuan heard Chen Si coming outside the house, carrying a pot of rice wine.
With a tacit understanding between the two, one opened the wine, and the other took out the food from the kitchen.
Chen Si looked at a plate of stewed mutton with a unique smell of mutton, and swallowed greedily: "You've made money!"
Zhang Fangyuan leaned back on his chair and sat down: "It's just the beginning of earning money. This is the mutton that I promised you earlier. Although the winter solstice has passed, I will make up for it now."
Chen Siguo ate the meat, and said with a big tongue: "You are too polite, hehe."
Zhang Fangyuan ate the sauced meat one bite at a time, drank rice wine, looked at Chen Si who was devouring it, and suddenly said, "How do you think I compare with the only son of Fei's family?"
Chen Si glanced at Zhang Fangyuan in confusion: "You are both only children, what can be compared?"
Zhang Fangyuan kicked him under the table. Chen Si was in pain: "What do you want to compare? You are a butcher and a scholar. There is a word in the book, which is completely different! There is no way to compare."
"Then if you are a woman or a little brother, and you want to choose a husband, who do you choose?"
Chen Si saw that Zhang Fangyuan was a little puzzled, and didn't want to make such assumptions, but because Zhang Fangyuan's strong and powerful fists were gradually clenched, he still said: "If I am a little brother, I will choose you."
"Why?"
Chen Si patted Zhang Fangyuan's hard chest, and his smile was rippling: "Look at how healthy this body is, how can a pale-skinned scholar compare?"
"roll!"
Zhang Fangyuan stretched out his feet, and Chen Si fell to the ground with a slap.
…
Fei family.
When Fei Lian arrived home, Fei's mother had just come back from the field. Seeing her son Xiu Mu coming home, she was so happy that she scooped up a ladle of water from the water tank by the yard to wash off the mud on her hands: "Mother will cook for you. Make something delicious."
"Okay." Fei Lian went back to his room and put down his book bag, and changed out of the courtyard uniform for fear of getting dirty when he returned home.
"My master read the articles I wrote recently, and said that I have made a lot of progress, and the college entrance examination is very promising."
After changing his clothes, Fei Lian went to the kitchen, and took the initiative to report to Fei's mother about his studies in the academy.
Fei's mother couldn't hide the smile on her son's face, as if the monthly money specially allocated by the imperial court to a talented gentleman, the fertile land has already arrived, and the eyes of the villagers have turned red with envy: "My son is promising, the Fei family Prosperity is expected! It will not be in vain for your parents to study hard all these years."
Fei Lian pursed his lips, and threw the broken firewood into the stove: "Mother, I'm not too young now, and I'll be weak in two years."
"Although the scholars get married late, but also..." Fei Lian didn't have the embarrassment to finish what he said later: "After the college test, if I can get good grades, I think..."
Fei's mother heard the meaning of her son's desire to marry a wife, and said with relief: "My son has grown up. Even if you don't tell me, mother also has this plan. Now that you have brought it up, mother will simply talk to him. .”
"A while ago, my mother went to Xu's house as a guest, and she had a good talk with Mrs. Xu. After your courtyard has tried it, we will go to Xu's house to propose marriage."
Hearing this, Fei Lian's hands trembled excitedly, and the light in his eyes suddenly brightened, and he stood up from the stove suddenly: "As the saying goes, there is no mother who knows a son, and a mother really knows her son's heart."
"Sit down quickly." Seeing her son so happy that she didn't know where to go, Fei's mother was also happy, but she felt unspeakably uncomfortable. She didn't understand why, but she still said, "You and Shaochun said Speaking of which, the girl was born really well, and she is very healthy, and Lian'er will be able to gain face when she is an official by her side in the future."
Fei Lian was startled, and the smile on his face froze immediately: "Shao, Shaochun...Mother decided on Shaochun."
"Then who else can there be? The Xu family only has two children. Could it be Xu He?" Fei's mother was puzzled and said, "The little brother is nothing, his talent is not equal to Lian'er, let him be Why don't you make the villagers laugh at you?"
Fei Lian said anxiously: "But, but I..."
Fei's mother was taken aback, raised her eyelids slightly, looked at her reluctant son, and said in shock, "Could it be that Lian'er has taken a fancy to Xu He!?"
Fei Lian didn't speak, just lowered his head.
Fei's mother dropped the spatula, and walked anxiously from the stove to Fei Lian. She even wondered if she was controlling her son too strictly, preventing girls and brothers from the village from approaching him, causing his son to be a little distorted: " That Xu He is tall and thin, dark like a dry monkey, and has a weird and withdrawn personality, what does Lian'er look up to him! His second sister is the most beautiful girl in our village, and even the men in the neighboring village are thinking about it Lie!"
She talked about the benefits of Xu Shaochun's basket, and belittled Xu He, but Fei Lian showed a look of pain: "I think Brother He is very good. He is diligent and not too busy. The most important thing is that he is willing to learn." But Shaochun... She is also good, she looks like a beautiful and good wife, but she doesn't like reading and writing..."
Fei's mother shook her head: "Let's not say that a woman's lack of talent is a virtue. Xu He is definitely not good. Even if you don't want Xu Shaochun, you can't be Xu He. It's too ridiculous. He doesn't look like you. Yes, it's not just that I don't agree, your uncle won't agree to anything. Could it be that you want your mother to be laughed at by the people around? Your mother has worked so hard for you to study, and you want to disobey your parents' wishes and make your parents sad ..."
Seeing that Fei Lian didn't speak for a long time, Fei's mother suddenly burst into tears: "Mother raised you up so much, I don't ask you to repay your parents, I just hope you listen to them. Now that you are old, you have your own Make up your mind, you heartless child."
"Mother, mother, I didn't mean that." Seeing his mother so at a loss, Fei Lian said, "Son, I just listen to you."
Seeing this, Fei's mother wailed softly, "Really?"
Fei Lian closed his eyes in pain and nodded.
"Mother is all for your own good."
"I know…"
