Miao'an's farming life

"This Xiangmanlou is a big property of the Mo family. Even if the business is not as good as before, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. How could Master Mo have the heart to sell it?"

In Sumo Teahouse, at a table near the door, a man in a dark gray cotton vest was holding a teacup, and said to his companion opposite with a full face of regret.

The listener took a few peanuts from the plate and threw them into his mouth, and replied slowly: "Even if you don't sell it, so what? To whom? Mr. Mo is smart, but he is confused when he is old. He eats and drinks well. An idiot, drove Mo Su out, and as a result, he opened a teahouse now, which is no worse than that Xiangmanlou."

"That's true." The padded vest nodded, and finally sighed again, "I heard it will be sold tomorrow, what a pity, ah, a pity."

"It's not the one who sold your house, what are you sorry about?"

"Hey, what you said..."

Miao An passed by, listened to their conversation, kept walking, and continued to walk inside to find Bupleurum.What a pity for Master Mo?I'm afraid Master Mo is still kept in the dark.

Lin Zhan, who has been on the tip of his horn, tried his best to sell Mo's restaurant based on the paranoid idea that if you don't give it to me, you don't want it. At first, Miao An was not optimistic about this matter. Mo Qingjiang It is also an old fritter with a lot of experience in the world. How could it be so easy to give away the current pillar of money, but the fact is that Lin Zhan's plan has been going on until now, and tomorrow he will pay for it with one hand and deliver it with the other. There was still no movement on the side, but it was Miao An himself who almost didn't grab the buyer's position, betting nearly two-thirds of his family's fortune to get it done.

The reason why I came to Bupleurum was because he said that he could provide a very reliable person who could come forward to negotiate business.Although I believe in Bupleurum, I still can't help but come to ask.

"Who did you find? Is it really reliable?"

Bupleurum was leaning on the railing, and Miao An followed his example, watching the bustling scene of guests coming and going in the lobby downstairs.

"Of course, it's a fateful friendship." Bupleurum withdrew his eyes from below, and shouted in the direction behind Miao An, "Come out and meet my boss."

Miao An turned around curiously, and saw a man walking towards this side at a fast pace, with a slightly fat body, wearing a thin black cotton coat, and because of his fast speed, he felt chubby, Miao An tried hard to restrain himself The corners of the mouth that want to turn up.

"Boss Miao, I have been admiring you for a long time." The visitor greeted with a smile while bowing, "My name is Mo Fang, from Xuanzhen."

Xuanzhen, the neighboring town of Qingxi Town next door, is very far away. Chaihu, who is a housekeeper, has a friend so far away.

Seemingly seeing the teasing in Miao An's eyes, Chai Hu introduced the process of their friendship in general.

It turned out that Bupleurum was actually an extrovert when he was a child. His family wanted to let him study for fame, but he felt that reading was too boring. After a few years, he didn’t read many books for scientific examinations. The biographies of anecdotes and strange stories were so rare. He gave up his studies and went into business with others.Mo Fang met during this period. Once, their caravan was surrounded by a group of bandits when they passed through an uneven area. In the panic, it was Bupleurum who dragged Mo Fang to escape.

"Oh, if it wasn't for Old Chai, I would have been chopped up by those murderous gangsters." Mo Fang still feels a little scared when he thinks about it now, and the tactile sensation of the cold blade is still fresh in his memory.

Speaking of the events back then, Chaihu also expressed emotion. At that time, he was not very old, he was in his teens, and he didn't think too much about it. He really let him run away because of the idea of ​​survival.

"What's more, you were very heavy at that time, and it almost couldn't move you."

Mo Fang smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words. Indeed, because he couldn't run anymore, the two of them were almost overtaken.

After that, Bupleurum's temperament became much calmer, and he didn't like to run away. He worshiped a storyteller master and has been talking about it until now.And Mo Fang always remembers Bupleurum's life-saving grace. Although he is far away from him, he will come over every year and festival. The two are brothers who share weal and woe, and have a deep relationship.

"Wow." Miao An couldn't help expressing emotion, this life is simply like a life in a TV series, escape by knife or something, don't be too exciting.

In this way, Miao An was completely relieved. To put it bluntly, he was anxious, just like the relationship with Mo Su before, he was extremely positive at the beginning, but when he really wanted to get married, he began to be cowardly.It's the same now, he wanted to buy Xiangmanlou, but suddenly he was about to get it, he always felt that he was not at ease anywhere, and in the end he was kicked out by Mo Su because he kept going around in circles at home.

"You go to Bupleurum, meet that person, and calm down." Mo Su hugged his son, and "assigned" him to the town without any objection.

As for the effect, should Mo Su know himself better than Miao An? Anyway, after meeting Mo Fang and hearing the past of the two when they were young and frivolous, Miao An's anxiety disappeared.Moreover, don't use someone who is suspicious, and don't be suspicious when you hire someone. Miao An understands this truth, and then entangled in the question of candidates is to suspect Bupleurum, and he doesn't want to create a rift between the two of them.After all, no matter how iron-clad a relationship is, brokenness starts with the little things.

"Can Lin Zhan find out about your relationship?" Miao An suddenly remembered this matter.

"Don't worry." Mo Fang said with a helpless smile, "Every time I go to this guy, he's always telling stories. No one else knows, at most they think I like listening to his stories."

"Then it's up to you tomorrow." Miao An clapped his hands at Mo Fang. In fact, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder more, but he was the youngest. Clap your hands.

"Don't worry." Mo Fang patted his chest confidently, "Anyway, it has been confirmed that we are the buyer, and I will definitely work hard to lower the price."

The next day, when the sky was clear and everything was in order, the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou took the title deed and rushed to the agreed place.

He has been the shopkeeper of this restaurant for nine years, and it will be ten years soon. It can be said that he watched it grow, so he naturally didn't want to sell it, but he told Fu Lang who worked next to Lin Zhanlin Even if he doesn't sell it, Master Mo will still give the Xiangmanlou to Mo Su, and he will definitely not be able to continue to be the shopkeeper at that time. Instead of being kicked out at that time, he can get a lot of money for doing business for Lin Fulang now, which is extremely cost-effective.

Indeed, he was not optimistic about Mo Hong at first, but now that the second young master was punished as a coolie again, he has turned his attention to Mo Su after hearing from the master. Mo Su now owns a teahouse and a bookstore, and he is doing well. If you are on your way, let's take this opportunity to make a fortune. When the time comes, you can set up a small shop and leave your son a fortune.

After thinking about things, he soon arrived at the destination, saw Mo Fang, and the shopkeeper looked at the person in front of him calmly.Lin Fulang specifically explained that he couldn't sell it to the young master. He also checked Mo Fang. He had been to Wuxi Town several times, but they were all listening to books in teahouses, and had nothing to do with Miao An Mosu.

The two sat down, and began the confrontation between you and me, overt and secret.

And in the courtyard of Mo's house in Qingling Village, Miao An was having fun for a long time, teasing his son in the main room for a while, then spontaneously going to the small study to help Mo Su get the rice paper, or sneaking around Xiao Hei in the yard.

Mo Su is sorting out the few experiences they have had so far in growing apples. The two of them want to make Qingling Village a land of blessings and fruits. In addition to oral teaching, the effect of making this book is more lasting, so you can read it whenever you have nothing to do. turn.

But the excited Miao An in front of him made him dumbfounded. Yesterday he was nervous, but today he is alive and kicking. His husband is really energetic.

Mo Su's face was full of indulgent smiles, while Miao An was in the yard, he secretly took out a small book from the dark compartment of the desk, opened it, and it was full of books written by Mo Su since he moved into Mo's old house. diary.Because the door was closed and other papers were prepared as cover, he was not worried about being caught.

At the beginning, Mo Su's writing was full of disappointment with Mo Laopa and everyone else. Since Miao An appeared, especially after he gave away boiled fish, more and more Miao An's names appeared in the book. The state of mind is also unconsciously changing, becoming more and more happy and satisfied.

"Today, I finally got married to Xiao An."

On this page, there is only this sentence, and everything else is blank.This was written by Mo Su secretly while Miao An was still sleeping in the morning after he married Miao An. It was only one sentence, but it was full of tenderness and happiness. Mo Su couldn't think of anything else to write, after learning so much There are so many poems and songs, but I don't want to use them. Just this simple sentence is enough.

Ever since he took out this little notebook, the corners of Mo Su's mouth have not been touched. After getting married, life has become much more busy, and he still secretly writes behind Miao An's back, so the number has dropped, and more is to record some goals. There are small ones, such as the item "Having a baby with Xiao An", which has been clicked to indicate that it has been completed.Others include "Have another child with Xiaoan", "Expansion of apple trees", etc., and this time, he wrote "Fu Lang's thoughts" on a piece of paper, "Buy Xiangmanlou" One clicked on the back.Now there are only two items on it: "go to the capital" and "become a landlord". If you have the opportunity to repeat Xiaoan's words, ask him if there is anything else he wants to do.

"En." Mo Su nodded lightly, closed the small notebook with satisfaction, and put it back in the dark compartment.

On the bed, the little Mo Yu who had been quiet all this time uttered a few raving words, and his little hands moved.Mo Su got up and walked to the bed, and found that the other party was still asleep, he stretched out his hand and poked Mo Yu's soft cheek lightly, and said in his heart: Son, you have to grow up quickly, and help you do things together with me Son.

I don't know if it's a tacit understanding, but Mo Yu babbled again, as if to express his agreement, Mo Su was so happy that he decided to feed his son two more spoonfuls of milk later.

"Mo Su, what do you want to eat tonight?" Miao An pushed the door open, noticed that Mo Yu was sleeping, and asked in a low voice.

In fact, Miao An was not overly excited because he bought the restaurant, he just had nothing to do, and happened to be in a good mood, and he became the funny man he is now.It was still early for dinner, but Miao An felt that he had to celebrate, so he had to prepare early.

Mo Su said "anything is fine" as expected, and Miao An couldn't help scratching his scalp, this answer was really watertight.

Seeing that Fu Lang was in trouble, Mo Su felt helpless, he really felt that he could eat anything, and it was delicious.

In the end, it was Miao An who came up with his own idea, boiled fish, pork rib soup, stewed beef with potatoes, and stewed chicken with mushrooms. Just four meat dishes will create a Chinese New Year atmosphere. There is no way, who makes the usual food more simple? .

Before the feast started, Bupleurum came with Mo Fang, and Xiangmanlou succeeded without any surprise.Speaking of which, it was the first time Bupleurum came to Mo's house. Miao An and Mo Su said that the timing was just right, and they had a meal together and chatted.Mo Su noticed that there was something wrong with Bupleurum's expression, he seemed to be hesitating, but it passed by immediately, and he didn't take it to heart.

The four of them ate and chatted very happily. Mo Fang aggressively described the process of bargaining with the shopkeeper of Xiangmanlou. The three of them gave him a thumbs up together and saved more than 100 taels of silver. Great meritorious service.

Until it was time to go to bed, the few people had their best time, and they definitely wouldn't go back at this time, especially since Mo Fang's house was so far away, and Miao An's house happened to have a vacant room, so it would be no problem to stay here.

Lying on the bed, Miao An was holding the title deed of Xiangmanlou in his hand, just like he was holding the title deed of the bookstore on the bed, but this time the difference was that Mo Su and his son were beside him.

"I really got it, so I'm not so excited anymore." Miao An sighed, packed the land deed, and leaned his head on Mo Su's shoulder, "I'll be happy with you and my son."

Hearing this, Mo Su's heart was turbulent, and he hugged his husband, feeling sorry for him, if it wasn't for Xiao Mo Yu, he would definitely not have simply hugged her, and had to pounce on him.Thinking of this, Mo Su looked at Miao An with resentment, and found that the other party was also looking at Mo Yu with resentment, and suddenly he regained his mental balance.
