The Heart of Transmigration

It's a bit abnormal often, but Meng Ze is still arrogant to him.Meng An didn't want to bother about these things either, so he left with Yuntai after chatting with his father for a while.

☆, Chinese New Year

When Meng An woke up in the morning, as soon as Meng An opened the door, he was met with wind and snow. The snow on the ground had already accumulated, the empty tree branches had been taken over by silver and white, and the leaden sky was still throwing winter spirits.It is said that the spring rain is "sneaking into the night with the wind, moistening things silently", and it is even more silent when it snows. Why is there no poet to describe this?Looking at the snowflakes falling outside the door, Meng An thought about it, and asked Yuntai casually.

"Because the wind is different." Yuntai came in from the outside, shook off the snow on his body, and answered Meng An's question casually, "The spring breeze is silent, and the spring rain is thin, so it is not easy to detect, but the snow is followed by the northwest wind, huh Yes, can it not be discovered?"

"...It makes sense." Meng An was stunned.

"You are stupid." Yun Tai slapped Meng An on the head.

Meng An covered his head and wailed: "You are domestic violence! I'm going to be stupid."

"What is domestic violence?"

"It's beating relatives, in various forms." Meng An pointed to his head.

"Oh?" Yun Tai rubbed his chin thoughtfully, "Then...does last night count?"

Mentioning last night, Meng An blushed, suddenly felt his ass was chilly, and his waist was still sore. Yuntai seemed to be getting thicker and thicker, but how could he, a modern person with more unrestrained folk customs, admit defeat just like that? Woolen cloth?He lowered his head, thinking about the appearance of the shy heroine in idol dramas, endured the awkwardness, put his fingers together, slowly rubbed against Yuntai's side, leaned on his chest and drew circles, and said softly: "If that counts, you Will you rape me?"

A pure young man in Yuntai has never seen any kind of battle. Meng An's hand made him feel itchy in his heart, and he said that kind of thing. Ann put his arms around him.Meng An didn't resist, and hugged Yuntai obediently, then led him to shake gently from side to side, and slowly moved towards the door.He said: "I know, I'm not like someone else's husband who knows how to manage the house, do housework, and obey everything..."

"No, you're fine." Yun Tai put his chin on Meng An's head, and rubbed the spot he just patted.

The door was open, and Meng An stretched out a hand from Yuntai's armpit to catch the swarming snowflakes. While lamenting his helpless height in his heart, he continued, "That's why you only have me, didn't the Taoist say that?" , your fate has been changed, and someone will definitely want to marry you in the future."

"I'm already married to you." Yun Tai frowned.

"Then you can also marry several concubines like Li Yuanwai." Meng An squeezed the snow in his hand from time to time to make them into balls.

"No." Yuntai said seriously, and hugged Meng An tighter.

"I'm joking." Of course Meng An knew Yuntai's intentions, he wiped his face on Yuntai's shoulder, and smiled maliciously, "What did you just say?"

"?" Yuntai was puzzled, and then his whole body became hot, "Tell me about last night?"

"...No." Meng An slowly stroked Yuntai's back with the other hand, and then stuffed the little snowball just now through his back collar, "I'll punish you if you guess wrong."

Feeling the coolness on his back, Yun Tai froze, and hurriedly reached in to take it out, but Meng An only made a small ball, and it melted as soon as he went in.

"Hahaha..." As soon as Yuntai let go, Meng An ran out, standing in the snow and laughing arrogantly.

"It seems that I have to teach you a lesson today." Yun Tai squinted his eyes, walked out, bent down, copied and squeezed his hands, and turned into a snowball, and threw it towards Meng An.

Meng An dodged sideways and counterattacked with a snowball. The two had a snowball fight like children.In the end, both of them had a lot of white spots on their bodies, which were marks of hits.Meng An was very satisfied, and Yuntai was quite good. In this situation, he was most afraid that he would catch a cold and let him into the house. What he wanted was to be able to play.

After playing enough, Yuntai took Meng An, who was still smiling foolishly, to brush off the snow from his body, rubbed his hands and washed them with warm water, then pushed him on the chair beside the brazier, and took a bowl of hot water for him to hold drink.Meng An took a sip and said, "Let's build two snowmen and put them at the door."

"I'll do it, you can rest." Yuntai added a piece of wood to the brazier and said.

"How can I. I can wear gloves, and you should too."

"...Okay." Yuntai compromised again.

Today is the New Year's Eve, the two of them warmed up in the room for a while and then went out to post Spring Festival couplets, which were sent by Mu Qing, who said they were given by Meng Su.There was no glue tape, and the original paste was used. Meng An supported it, and Yuntai was in charge of pasting it.Meng An took a few steps back from time to time to see if it was crooked, but he always teased Yuntai jokingly, saying it was crooked for a while, and then saying that it was not crooked just now after Yuntai passed.Yuntai was very helpless to Meng An, who became hyperactive and fell into convulsions after the snowball fight, and let him play.After finally pasting up the Spring Festival couplets, the two of them put on gloves to build a snowman. The two people who had no childhood were very happy to make a snowman. Meng An also specially found a big wooden pile and built a solid one.

In the "grey-haired" small farmyard, bright red Spring Festival couplets are pasted on the vicissitudes of the wooden door, and peach tree branches wrapped with yellow papyrus are inserted on the door frame.On both sides of the door stood an ugly and cute snowman: the eyes made of stones were of different sizes, the lips made of vegetable leaves were green and green, the buttons were all kinds of small stones, and the arms were branched dead branches. .

In the evening, the two worked together to cook a sumptuous New Year’s Eve dinner: a simple version of boiled fish, stewed vermicelli with cabbage and pork, Xiaoshi radish soup, and game sausage.Most importantly, Meng An finally ate dumplings with pure white flour and no cornmeal mixed in, and he was in tears. He felt that if he continued like this, his life would have no pursuit at all, and he would be very excited after eating dumplings.Both feel that this is the happiest year they have ever lived, because they are neither lonely nor troubled.When the meal was about the same, Yuntai didn't know where to get the rice wine, and Meng An drank a lot of it excitedly, but he didn't expect to be confused after a while.This is what Yuntai wanted. He secretly hugged Meng An, seeing his rosy face and obedient eyes, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He even dared to play a snowball into his collar. If you seduce yourself, you can't blame yourself for being rude.As a result, of course Meng An was wiped out.Yuntai didn't keep the New Year's Eve before because it was too boring to be alone, but this year he said he likes the way of keeping the New Year's Eve very much.

The night outside was thick, and there was the faint sound of firecrackers. It was the children's annual carnival...

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, it is a day to walk around the streets to pay New Year's greetings.Meng An rubbed his waist and sat up from the bed. Yuntai had already woken up, and the brazier in the room was burning vigorously.He dressed and washed slowly, and couldn't help but worry that with Yuntai's frequency, would he really get pregnant soon? Now that he has been tossing for so long, he doesn't have to lie down for a day. It's a terrible adaptation. I don't know. There is no such thing as contraception.

After dinner, the two went to the homes of the elders of the two parties to pay New Year's greetings, but when they went out, they found that the snowman had been kicked.

"Who did this? It couldn't be intentional, right?" Meng An said with a heartbroken heart, it was hard to pile up.

"Whether it's intentional or not, the kicker shouldn't feel well." Yuntai said, looking at the snowman whose head was kicked to the side, exposing the wooden stake inside.The one that was destroyed was the solid snowman. Meng An felt that the stake was too short yesterday when he piled it up, so he asked him to move a big stone to build it on top of it. Now the stone has also fallen to the ground. If you kick it, your feet will definitely hurt. ah.

"This...you can't blame us, it won't block the way if they are piled up at the door of the house." Meng An also thought of this question, and said guilty.

"Of course, don't worry about it, let's go." Yun Tai pulled Meng An's father's house away.

Sitting at Yun's house for a while after celebrating the New Year, Meng An ate a lot of melon seeds and peanuts, guessing that someone else would come, and the two set off for another destination.Although Meng Defeng was not affectionate to his eldest son, he couldn't pretend to be indifferent on the face of the New Year's Eve, but Shen Zhan didn't speak for some reason, and Meng Yue just listened. It turned out that he was the only one talking with Meng An Yuntai, and the atmosphere gradually became a little awkward.Seeing this, Yun Tai said: "Father, Dad, there will be more people coming later, so we will go back first."

"Ah, fine, then you guys go back first." Father Meng nodded, it would be uncomfortable to stay any longer.

After the two left, Meng Defeng turned around and asked Shen Zhan, "What's your attitude? It's Chinese New Year."

"What's the attitude? Did I hurt him?" Shen Zhan still looked indifferent.I didn't expect Meng An to be so powerful. He solved the lie he had worked so hard to solve with a game of chess. Now I don't want to see Meng An at all. His appearance is to remind me of the stupid things I did.

Having visited the parents of both parties, Meng An and Yuntai have nowhere to go. People of the same generation as Mu Qing will visit him every few days. He probably has to go back to his mother's house with Mu Amo tomorrow.A bit bored at home, Meng An took Yuntai to play backgammon, Yuntai learned quickly, and his current level is no longer inferior to him, and the two won and lost.

The few days of Chinese New Year passed faster than usual. On the fourth day of junior high school, Mu Qing came to play with Meng An and brought an unexpected news.

"You said it's a big Chinese New Year, and Meng Wen hurt his foot, as if he hasn't gone out for a few days." Mu Qing sighed.

"Are your feet hurt?" Meng An had a guess in his mind, "When did you get hurt? Is it serious?"

"It seems to be on New Year's Eve, but it's actually not that serious, it's just broken, and the winter is good and slow."

"New Year's Eve..." Meng An murmured.It seems that Meng Wen kicked the snowman nine out of ten times. That's right, he kicked down such a big rock, and the force must have been quite strong.This hurts so much.

Basically, as soon as the first month is over and spring plowing starts, the busy life of the farm for a year begins again, so Mu Qinglai mainly agreed with Meng An to go to the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival, and have a good time at the end. Meng An naturally agreed, and also Naturally, Yuntai was attracted.Seeing the hustle and bustle of the temple fair, Meng An is looking forward to the arrival of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and, as Mu Qing said, he will be busy in the future, and if he doesn't play, he will have no chance.

☆, Lantern Festival

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, eat Lantern Festival and watch lanterns. After the carnival, make a break with the lazy and lively winter.Generally speaking, the Beginning of Spring is always before the Chinese New Year. By the Lantern Festival, the second solar term in spring, the rain has also arrived, and the following days will pass in the back and forth of cold, strong, weak and weak. After Qingming, the cold air will completely stop. up.

On the fifteenth day, Meng An made dumplings with glutinous rice flour in response to the occasion.The glutinous rice flour was sent by Yun Ahma, because the Lantern Festival was coming, and basically every family would grow some glutinous rice, but Yuntai always ate glutinous rice balls made by Yun Ahma, so he never grew glutinous rice.There are not as many styles of stuffing as modern ones, only brown sugar and black sesame.Warm water and good glutinous rice flour are soft and sticky. Knead an appropriate amount of dough and stuff it with fillings, and roll it again. After a while, the two of them made a lot of white and tender glutinous rice balls.Put them into a pot where the water has boiled, and watch them float up and down one by one, it's not interesting.

After eating glutinous rice balls, the two went out to meet Mu Qing and went to the town to watch the lantern festival.It was in the evening, when it was about to get dark, many people dragged their families to the town, and most of them would be followed by an excited and lively child, holding a radish lamp dug from radishes in their hands.The wick is made of broom sticks wrapped with cotton. Put some oil in the lamp to burn until the oil is exhausted. The final shape of the wick is said to be like corn, peanuts or soybeans, implying a good harvest in the coming year.

It was completely dark when we arrived in town, and the colorful lanterns were even more eye-catching. The quietly burning candles emitted warm yellow light, reflecting the ink paintings of mountains, water, or flowers and birds on the lanterns.There are on the ground, on the trees, and there are some that are hung in a row by pulling the wires. The crowded ones look lively.

"There are more lanterns this year than last year." Mu Qing looked around and said with a smack.

"Really?" Meng An has never been to see it, but only remembers the modern night city full of feasting and feasting.

Mu Qing looked forward in the crowd on his feet, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Hey, there are lantern riddles over there! Let's go and see!"

Meng An pulled Yuntai, pushed aside the people in front of him with difficulty, and followed Mu Qing. After squeezing like sardines for a long time, he finally arrived at his destination.Visually, it is a bookstore. Two rows of lanterns, one head taller than a person, are hung in front of the door. The lanterns are exquisitely made, with colored paper strips floating on them, and riddles are written on the paper.

"Fathers and folks, come and take a look, Fanghe Bookstore, if you guess the lantern riddle, you will get a lantern!" A young man who is probably a clerk put his hands around his mouth and shouted hard, "Everyone can choose one at will. Guess the lantern, give it away if you guess right.”

"Let's try it too?" Meng An sounded interesting. He had watched the riddle conference on TV programs, but he had never guessed it himself at the lantern festival. He was a little ready to move.

"Can it work? Wouldn't it be embarrassing if you can't guess correctly?" Mu Qing hesitated looking at the erratic mystery.

"It's okay, let's guess." Yuntai expressed his support. Anyway, there are many people around who can't guess, so why not be embarrassed.

"That's right. Then I'll choose." Meng An grinned, walked back and forth under the lamp for a few steps, and chose a lantern with a painting of a goshawk.

The guy in charge helped him pick out the lantern with a pole and take down the riddle.Meng An straightened the yellow note in his hand, and Yun Tai and Mu Qing also leaned over to look at it. It said "Nothing is true (guess one word)".His first reaction was the phrase "a scholar who has nothing to do with one thing", but thinking about it is not true at all, not to mention the "nothing to do with one thing" that is not a mystery, this world attaches great importance to scholars, and there will be no such talk.He shook his head, chanted these four words, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind. If these four words were changed to a sentence, it would become "one hundred and one, yes".

"The answer is 'white', white white." Meng An said to the guy.

"Yo, this guest officer got the answer right." The clerk gave him a thumbs up and handed him the lamp, "Then this lamp is yours."

Meng An thanked him, took the lantern and gave it to Yuntai: "For you." Yuntai didn't refuse, since his is also Meng An's anyway.

"Quickly, quickly, let's guess one more, can you give it to me?" Mu Qing pulled Meng An over, and chose a lantern with landscape paintings for the man to take down.

This time it was "one (guess one idiom)", perhaps because he had opened up his mind just now, and this question was relatively simple. Meng An gave the answer "one after another" after a little thought, and got another lamp.The three of them were very happy, they were lucky, and the ones they drew were relatively simple.Later, Mu Qing guessed that a "pump" means "the truth comes out", and Yun Tai guessed that an "ah" means "the lips and teeth depend on each other", and they got four lamps in total.Some people were unlucky, and they directly drew hard-to-guess cards, and they got stuck. Seeing the luck of the three of them, they could only envy them, and lowered their voices to discuss in a low voice.

"Ha, you are really lucky." The three were about to leave when Meng Su's voice came from behind.

"Hey, Boss Meng, come to guess the lantern riddles too?" Meng An asked.They didn't see each other again after the temple fair. Two days ago, Mu Qing sent a copper hot pot, saying it was from Meng Su, one for each family.He was still haggard when we met before, but now Meng Su looks very happy, greeting each other loudly and full of energy.

Meng Su waved his hand and said, "No, I came here only when I saw you here."

"Look at your complexion, business is good? Oh yes, thank you for the hot pot."

"Where is there, I have to thank you." Meng Su smiled, "Mu Qing is good at craftsmanship and smart, and the business of the tailor shop has improved a lot. And your hot pot, I rushed to order a batch of hot pot and dishes , It was launched on the tenth day of the lunar new year. There were not many people in the first two days, and I was in a hurry. Then suddenly, many people came, saying that they heard something new from others, and came to try it. In the end, the number of customers continued, and the profit doubled. Quite a few times."

"That's really congratulations. I'm afraid people won't be used to it." Meng An was also very happy to be able to make money, and he could also get a dividend.

"How come, the red soup and white soup take care of those who eat spicy food and those who don't. You can choose what you like for cooking and sauces. There's no reason why you can't get used to it. Your method is really wonderful."

"Boss Meng is being polite."

"You're welcome?" He glanced at the absent-minded Mu Qing and the two lanterns in his hand, pointed to one of them and said, "Then I'll be polite, maybe give me one of these lanterns?"

"You guess it yourself." Mu Qing was taken aback, a little reluctant, he thought both were beautiful.

"Isn't the one in your hand pretty? Give me one." Meng Su's high-spirited voice suddenly softened, and Meng An somehow felt a little weird.

"But both of them look good..." Mu Qing muttered, looked at it for a while and handed him a lamp.Looking at the lamp in his hand that was very similar to Mu Qing's, Meng Su smiled slyly.

The four of them continued to stroll around, Mu Qing was still in high spirits, shuttled through the crowd, pointing at a lantern and shouting at them from time to time.What surprised Meng An was that Meng Su followed Mu Qing all the time and helped him block the crowd from time to time.

"Hey, let me say," Meng An poked Yuntai beside him with his arm, "the two of them..."

Yun Tai looked up, and pondered: "Meng Su likes Mu Qing, at least, he also has a good impression."

"Really? Will Meng Su fall in love with Mu Qing?" Although Meng An also doubted it, he always felt that it was unreliable. It was a bit like the plot where the domineering president fell in love with me.

"What's the matter? Mu Qing's personality is very straightforward. Meng Su is used to meeting people with complicated thoughts in business, so it's not surprising that he likes Mu Qing's straightforward nature."

Meng An narrowed his eyes and looked at him: "You know a lot, where did you learn it?"

Yun Tai hugged him and turned to move forward, pinched his face and said, "I learned it by myself. You are stupid."

"Again, I'm stupid!" Meng An frowned, and then felt strange, "Aren't we going with them? How do we get here?"

"Meng Su is a nice person, let them go together. Let's not disturb." Yun Tai said seriously, but in fact he wanted to hang out with Meng An alone.

"Oh." Meng An nodded, but the next second he became worried again, "But we didn't make an appointment with them somewhere to meet up, we couldn't find... um, um..." Yun Tai covered Meng An's mouth, but it was actually more Those who want to kiss, but there are so many people are embarrassed.

"Don't think about them anymore, Meng Su will make arrangements." Seeing Meng An nodding, he let go of his hand and pulled him towards the place where the river lantern was placed.

Wuhu Town is named after the lake, Meng An and Mu Qing don't know where the lake is, but Yuntai heard about it from Father Lin who often comes to the town.The five lakes are very close to each other. When the imperial court built the waterway about ten years ago, the planning officials saw it and organized people to dig through it. The five lakes were connected and turned into a river that flows into the main waterway, which is good for irrigated fields.People built a bridge on the relatively narrow water between the lakes, so every fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they would imitate Jiangnan to release river lanterns.

There are a lot of people by the river, and there are already many red lotus lanterns on the water. The candles are shaken by the wind, reflecting the sparkling water of the river.Full of joy, Yun Tai went to buy two lotus lanterns, handed one to Meng An, and the two of them took the lanterns to the writing place to write down their wishes.The small table with pen and ink is free under a big willow tree, and an elderly uncle is sitting and watching.

Meng An picked up the pen, tilted his head and thought for a while, and wrote on the paper with crooked handwriting, "I hope that I and Yuntai will live a happy life, earn some money, and my family will be healthy."After finishing writing, he turned his head to look at Yuntai. Seeing that he was still writing, he couldn't help being a little curious, and leaned over to see what he wrote.Unexpectedly, Yuntai avoided it, and Meng An became even more curious.

"What did you write? Can't I read it?"

"No...don't read it." Yuntai said vaguely.

Meng An rolled his eyes, lowered his face, and said dejectedly, "I see. You must hope to marry another beautiful and obedient husband, right?"

Yun Tai's eyes widened, when did he have such an idea?Why did Meng An mention this again?He shook his head and said, "How is it possible. Nothing."

"Then show me. I'll show you too." Meng An coaxed.

Yuntai's face was a little red, and Meng An didn't see it due to the poor lighting. He paused and finally gave the note to Meng An.Meng An unfolded it and saw that the words on it were prettier than his. It was written densely and densely, "I hope I will work harder to let Fulang have children, hope to have many children with Fulang, and hope to live with Fulang for a lifetime. I hope my family will not get sick", The corner of Meng An's mouth twitched slightly, why did Yuntai have such a deep obsession with the child?He felt guilty, folded the note and returned it to Yuntai, thoughtful.Yuntai thought that Meng An would be shy, but he didn't expect to see no reaction after watching it.

"You... don't want a child?" He asked cautiously.

"Ah? No. I just..." I just don't know if I can accept it.Meng An collected his thoughts and said with a smile, "You're in such a hurry, I'm afraid I won't be able to give birth."

Yuntai breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had a bad childhood, he liked children very much, especially after falling in love with Meng An, he wanted a child belonging to the two of them even more, and he felt happy even thinking about it.But Meng An has always been right-minded. Seeing his expression, he thought Meng An didn't want children.

"Okay, let's put it in the river." Meng An put the note away and led Yuntai to the river.

The two squatted down by the river, put their own lamps into the water gently, and watched it gradually drift away with the water waves.Meng An thought about running away, his vision blurred, the orange fire flickered in the red eyes, he asked himself, if he was really pregnant, would he be able to give birth?Will you want to destroy it?He turned his face to look at Yuntai's profile, maybe he would be reluctant.

After putting off the lanterns, Meng An and Yun Tai searched the street, went to tailor shops and restaurants, but couldn't find Mu Qing, so they left a letter and went back first. As Yun Tai said, Meng An Su's character is still trustworthy, and he will not lose Mu Qing.

Sure enough, when Meng An went to Mu Qing's house the next morning, Mu Qing had already returned in good condition, and it was said that Meng Su had personally brought him back.Meng An teased him unceremoniously about this, and was kicked out of the gate by Mu Qing who became angry from embarrassment.

☆, prepare

The first month is far away, February is coming to an end, and March is approaching, but it is still cold and cold, and the temperature seems to have not changed much compared to years ago.However, when the southeast wind blows, the temperature will rise slowly, so for the folks who depend on the weather for food, they have to start preparing for the busy farming.Before Meng An got married, he also had two acres of land under his name, but it was only nominally his, but in fact the whole family must have planted it together.It stands to reason that after Meng An and Yun Tai get married, the land will also be moved here with him, but no one has mentioned this matter, and Meng An's modern soul does not have much awareness of the land, and he didn't think about it until it was time for spring plowing.

Meng An first paid a portion of the hot pot dividends in advance, and discussed with Yuntai about setting up a small hill to raise chickens.He remembers that when he was in high school, a roommate’s family was engaged in free-range chicken farming, and the sales volume was very good. The roommate often told some interesting stories about raising chickens. At that time, he was just curious. Meng An listened very seriously, but he did not expect to use it now. .Moreover, he asked Meng Su that if he raised chickens, he could supply them to restaurants, so he didn't have to worry about not being able to sell them.When it comes to enclosing land, it is natural to find Li Zheng to go through the procedure, and Meng An also wants to ask him about the two acres of land under his name.

"What are you doing?" Yuntai looked at Meng An in bewilderment with a piece of bacon in his left hand and a small bag of rice in his right.

"Go to Lizheng, can't you give me some gifts?" Meng An shook the things in his hand, taking it for granted.

"Who told you that?" Yuntai took the things from his hands dumbfoundingly, "Lizheng is kind and never accepts things. Besides, there are subsidies for being Lizheng, so we can just tell him if we have anything to do."

"Can it work?" Meng An was led out of the door by Yuntai, still a little worried, will he do his best when he goes to someone's house empty-handed?

"Don't worry. Why are you so obsessed with giving gifts? Where's the common sense?"

"I think it's common sense, okay?" Meng An complained silently in his heart, but he was also relieved that he could not give gifts.

For the people here, spring has to be endured.If you want to live a "luxury" year, you can eat a few good meals if you have money, but it will be difficult after the New Year. There is not much old grain left after paying taxes the previous year, and the new wheat is still in the field. Heading, so the days have to tighten their belts.Although Meng An's family had Yuntai hunting as a supplement, after all, they ate only Yuntai's rations in previous years, so there was not much leftover food.Meng An used to think simply, just go to the rice noodle shop and buy it when he ran out. At that time, he was on the cusp of rumors, and Mu Qing decisively cut off his thoughts.Later, Meng An also figured it out. Now he is in the period of self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy. The villagers will avoid spending money on other things except oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. They can even weave and cut clothes by themselves.Food is the most important thing in everything. If there is surplus food, it can be sold, which is worthy of praise. People will say that this family is capable.But if you need to spend money to buy food, it will give people the impression of being wasteful and not able to live, and you will be pointed out.Although Meng An couldn't quite understand this kind of thinking, he still gave in and went to the countryside to do as the Romans did.

Lizheng's home is in the center of the village, very close to the big locust tree. If it is lively, you can hear the noise right in front of the door.When passing the big locust tree, Meng An noticed that there were a lot fewer people, and they probably were all busy.This time it was Yuntai who called the door, and Meng An suddenly felt that Yuntai seemed to have a good impression of Lizheng's family.

It was Meng Ah who opened the door. Meng An naturally remembered him. When he first arrived in the New World, Meng Ah gave him food. In his memory, Meng Ah also took good care of the original body, so Meng An always treated Meng Ah so grateful.

"Ah Meng." Meng An and Yun Tai greeted each other.

"Hey, why are you young couple here? Come in and sit down." Meng Amo is 50 years old, her hair mixed with white hair is neatly combed, her dress is neat and tidy, and there is a smile on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel warmth.

"We want to find Lizheng to do something." Yuntai said, his facial expression was much softer than usual when he was out of the house.Meng An then nodded.

"I'm looking for you, Uncle Meng, he's in the house." Amo Meng led them towards the house, and shouted loudly, "Old Meng, someone is here."

"Who is it?" As soon as Meng Amo finished speaking, a person came out from the room, also about 50 or [-] years old, with a dark complexion, kind but sharp eyes, smiling at them, the wrinkles on his face were squeezed stand up.

"It's you, what's the matter?" Li Zheng beckoned them to enter the house, and then said to Ah Meng, "Go and get some water for the children to drink."

"Okay." Meng Ah smiled again and went to boil water.

"Uh, that's right." Meng An glanced at Yuntai but found that he didn't intend to speak, so he spoke first, "We want to occupy a mountain."

"Mountain land? Why do you think of Baoshan land? It's not easy to grow." Li Zheng frowned and said, since no one has mentioned Baoshan for many years.

"Oh, we don't want to grow food, we want to raise chickens in the woods."

Li Zheng paused, nodded, and said, "This is a good idea. However, you are so young and inexperienced. I heard that there are people who are raised, and the recession is not good. Have you really thought about it?"

"Well. We found a restaurant in the town to cooperate with, so it is guaranteed to raise it, as long as it can be raised." Yuntai said.

Li Zheng looked at Meng An again, and Meng An also nodded, expressing his agreement with Yuntai's words.Lizheng sighed: "Okay then. You are just raising chickens in the woods. It just so happens that the imperial court has been encouraging the reclamation of wasteland in recent years. It is easy and inexpensive. I wonder how much you want to pack?"

The two looked at each other, and Meng An replied, "Ten acres, close to the hill where we live."

"Hmm..." Li was pondering for a while, then smiled, "I have a good eye, I guess an acre of land costs one tael of silver, you guys prepare it first, and hand it over when the yamen servant comes to measure the land."

"One tael of silver?" Meng An felt a little pained, one tael of silver would take more than half a year, and he had only advanced 15 taels of silver in total.

"The main reason is that you are covering mountainous land, and the trees on it are included, which is already very cheap. It is calculated as flat land."

"Well, I understand. I just didn't think of it." Meng An was a little embarrassed.

"Haha, the cost of raising chickens is more than that. Do you feel distressed now?" Li Zheng teased Meng An.

"What are you talking about? Laughing like this, I heard it from outside." Meng Amo came in with three bowls of tea.

Meng An and Yuntai took the bowl, and Meng An felt a burst of emotion in his heart. He really lost his temper. This was the first time this body drank tea. Even if it was just the most common tea, it was probably because Lizheng's family entertained many guests. Bar.

Li was leaning against the edge of the bowl and sipping water to moisten his throat before he said, "The two of them want to set up a mountain to raise chickens, and they are talking about land."

"Raising chickens?" Meng Amo looked at the two of them, "It's not easy, have you really thought about it?"

"Well, think it over." Both Meng An and Yuntai nodded.

"That's good, you are all down-to-earth children, and you must be able to make a show. You can come to us if you have anything to do. I will leave the affairs of this place to your uncle. Don't worry." Meng Amo said slowly Said.

"Thank you Meng Ah, then Lizheng will be in trouble." Yun Tai got up and bowed to Lizheng, and Meng An also got up.

"You're welcome, we're all family." Li Zheng smiled and waved at them.

Meng An remembered about his two acres of land and asked Li Zheng about it.Li Zheng said that he should first ask Meng An's father and father about this kind of thing. It is just a convention to marry anywhere, and he can only mediate among them. If they insist on not giving it, then he has no choice.Meng An said that he would go to discuss with his family first.

After returning home, Meng An couldn't help asking Yuntai: "Why do I feel that you treat Lizheng's family differently from others?"

"Different? How to say?" Yun Tai raised his eyebrows.

"It's much gentler. Although it's not as good as at Dad's house, it's obviously relaxed."

Yuntai himself didn't pay attention, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's because they are kind to me. Even when the rumors are the worst, Meng Amo will still care about me, and there is no such uncomfortable look in his eyes." Inquiry, Lizheng is also the same as always, and even speaks for me, which makes me feel better."

"No wonder..." The person who sent charcoal in the snow is indeed worth remembering, "Meng Amo often gives me something to eat."

"Well, they're good people."

Two days later, Lizheng brought two yamen servants to measure the land. The land was just behind Meng An's house, just across the river. It happened to be a hilltop of Green Mountain. Hunting in the mountains, so even if there are ferocious beasts deep in the mountains, there is no need to worry about the safety of the chickens.Meng An prepared hot water and ensured that the four of Yun Taili, who were running up and down the mountain, would be able to use it when they got down.One mu of land is indeed one tael of silver. Meng An and Yuntai paid the money, and then went to Lizheng's house to get the title deed, finally feeling at ease.

"We built the chicken coop at the foot of the mountain, and dug a shallow pit with chicken manure to make fertilizer. This way, it is more than 30 meters away from the river, so that the river will not be polluted." Meng An pointed at the table and said.

"Okay, what kind of chicken coop?"

"What kind is faster? As long as it can keep out the wind and rain."

"Then let's build the earth wall. You can build the wall with the mud yourself, and just ask someone to help you when the beam is erected." Yun Tai pressed Meng An's fingers with his palm to prevent him from knocking on the table.

"Okay. But I don't know how to cover it." Meng An smiled like a thief, "You have to teach me."

Yun Tai rubbed his head, said with a smile, "Of course."

The house they live in now is Yuntai, which he repaired by himself, so he is very proficient in doing these things.Meng An was next to him. The temperature was relatively high when it was sunny this month. Taking advantage of the warm weather, the two of them mixed straw, lime, and mud and then tamped them down. The owner of the house, Yun Cheng, came to guide and brought in the beams and other large objects.Four days later, the wall was almost built, and the whole chicken coop took shape.

After the wall was dry, the two went to Yun's house early in the morning, hoping that father could ask someone to help put up the beam.Father Yun had to work hard, and immediately found five strong laborers to go there.The busy farming has not really started yet, so work must be finished quickly
