Rebirth of the backing and eating mountains

After all, going out is no better than being at home. Apart from the bumps along the way, An Rubao actually didn't suffer much in terms of food and accommodation. However, after arriving home, he still rested in the house for three days before going out.Song Chu stayed with him for these three days, sometimes leaning on the kang to read a book, sometimes lying on the kang to rest his mind, or just talking in whispers, of course the two have been separated for a long time, and there will inevitably be times when they fight, Yu An Rubao said , These three days could not have been more comfortable.

However, no matter how reluctantly she was, An Rubao went out three days later and went straight to the back mountain.He thought clearly, since he was determined to cut off his official career and become a landlord and squire with peace of mind, he was going to be busy from now on.

The poplar trees at the foot of the mountain have gradually matured, their trunks are straight and lush, and the hundreds of acres of fields on the mountain have also been planted, most of which are planted with ground pearls, and the rest are earth eggs.Now the peanut oil is sold all over Jingguo, and the pearls in their family are not enough to supply peanut oil for a state, so they save enough for themselves to eat and give away after the autumn harvest every year, and send the rest to the oil workshop or their own store for distribution Sell.Soil eggs are also treated in the same way.

Seeing that Anxuan's family grows crops that can be exchanged for money in the worst sandy land, many people in the village follow suit, and An Rubao is not stingy. The various ways to eat the local eggs for the villagers can make the villagers have more dishes. Not to mention, the native eggs are a rare thing to fill their stomachs in famine years.

After looking at the fields, An Rubaofang went to look at the fruit trees.Anzheng is still in charge of the woods. Over the years, Anzheng's family has not only built a house with green bricks and tiles, but the two younger sons of the family have also gone to Anxiu's place to study and read. The life in the village is now counted, which makes many people in the village Both envy and jealousy.

In gratitude for the kindness of Anxuan's family, Anzheng took care of the saplings on the mountain and worked diligently. Under his careful care, the fruit trees grew very strong. An Rubao was very satisfied with the journey.

It happened that Anzheng was also on the mountain at this time, pruning the branches of the trees. Seeing him coming from a distance, he greeted him with a smile and said, "Rubao is here. I heard that you came back a few days ago. Your uncle always talks about it." , I was thinking of going to see it in two days."

An Rubao bent over the branches of an apple tree next to him to have a closer look, and said with a smile, "Uncle Anzheng, you didn't go. I've been sleeping at home for the past two days. If you go, I'm afraid you won't see anyone." .”

The two walked up the mountain while talking, Anzheng said: "I thought so too, so I didn't let your uncle go, or I would have gone on the same day as he did. Studying and taking exams are no more brain-intensive than going to the fields. It's so easy to finish the exam, why don't you take a break?"

An Rubao stretched his waist, looked up at a few apricot trees beside him, and said, "Well, I finally came to rest... Uncle Anzheng, you are really good at taking care of this tree. I have been busy these two years. I didn't go up the mountain much because of the exam, thanks to you looking after me on the mountain."

Anzheng waved his hand, and said in some embarrassment: "Why are you being polite to me? I should not say that you pay me a lot of wages every month, but if you don't, I should do the same for your family's kindness to us." Do your best."

An Rubao said: "What kindness is not gracious, Uncle Anzheng said that, and he will be offended. By the way, Uncle Anzheng, when I come back this time, I plan to buy two more mountains in the village and plant more trees. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of this mountain for the time being, and you will have to worry about it then."

An Zheng patted his chest and said, "Don't worry if you leave this tree to me." Then he frowned and said, "You still want to buy a mountain? Have you decided where to buy it?" An Rubao said, "I just want to ask How about Uncle Anzheng, how many of these mountains in our village are unowned?"

An Zheng thought for a while and said, "I know that besides the back mountain of your house, there are two other mountains that belong to An Fumin, so they are those two."

As he spoke, he pointed to two large hills in the distance, and said: "The rest are unowned. However, although there are many hills in our village, some of them cannot be planted with trees or farmers. Those hills are no better than this back hill Anyway, it’s sandy soil, almost all rocks, so you have to be careful when you buy it.”

An Rubao nodded, and said: "I know." He talked and looked at it for two days, and spent an hour looking at the whole mountain, An Rubaofang and An Zheng said goodbye and went down the mountain.

When they arrived home, An Rubao greeted Qin Feng before they arrived at Sishi, and then went back to his yard.First wash up in the yard, then change into clean clothes before entering the bedroom.

In the bedroom, Song Chu was lying on the kang, his eyes slightly narrowed, apparently just woke up.Seeing his bewildered stare, An Rubao felt an itch in his heart, leaned over and kissed him on the face a few times, and said softly, "Are you awake?"

Song Chu stared at him blankly, his eyes were scattered, and he couldn't see any focus, just when An Rubao thought he had fallen asleep like this, he heard him whisper: "Wake up, I got up late again. "This is the third time.

An Rubao couldn't help but kissed his husband twice more, and jokingly said: "It's okay, I don't think my husband is lazy, neither do father and mother,...the longer you get up late, the happier they will be. "

It's a pity that Song Chu didn't understand the hidden meaning of his words at all, slowly got up from the kang, and said with a frown: "You don't think I'm lazy, I do, I can't be lazy if I continue to be like this, tomorrow Remember to call me when you wake up."

The imaginary staring and blushing didn't happen, An Rubao sighed in frustration, and said, "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow." Song Chu smiled, quickly got dressed, and went hand in hand with An Rubao east courtyard.

In the next few days, An Rubao began to wander around the mountains. Except for the two mountains of An Fumin, he went around all the mountains inside and outside the village, and all the mountains belonging to Qingshan Village. Song Chu followed him around with great interest. , He loved to go up the mountain to play, and now he is like a person who has been bedridden for a long time and can finally run and jump. A self-made shotgun, fully equipped, drove the wild animals such as rabbits and pheasants on the mountain and ran wildly all over the mountains. If An Rubao hadn't stopped him and told him the harm of hunting in spring, and told him to restrain himself, Qingshan Village would not be able to speak. The wild animals are about to usher in a catastrophe.

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, An Rubao was very happy to play, and An Rubao also looked carefully. There are no less than dozens of hills in and out of Qingshan Village, and there are about twenty valleys. As An Zheng said, most of them are mostly rocks and are not suitable for cultivation. , he had some ideas in his mind, and it seemed that not many were in line with his wishes.Fortunately, it was not without it. After looking at it for a few days, I got worried, so I took some gifts and went to the village head An Ruxi's house on this day.

He went there at noon, An Ruxi had just had lunch and was resting at home when An Licheng's husband Li Xin who opened the door let him into the main room and called An Ruxi just now.

An Ruxi didn't come too late, she was wearing a coat, and when she entered the door, she said with a smile on her face, "Here comes Rubao."

An Rubao got up and bowed to him, and called out: "Village Chief." An Ruxi sat down on the chair, waved his hand and said, "Whatever you call the village chief, you can call him uncle." After telling about that incident, An Ruxi and An Xuan's family became estranged a lot, and An Rubao even changed his name to the village chief.Although he explained that he knew that his brother was at fault, but An Ruxi always had a pimple in his heart, so he didn't correct it, especially when his brother was first hired, he was unhappy, and he even had feelings for An Xuan's family in his heart. A bit resentful.In the past two years, his brother's life has been better. When he thought about it carefully, he always felt a little guilty towards the Anxuan family, and also had some thoughts of wanting to make up for the relationship between the two families. Seeing An Rubao come to the door now, he rarely said with a pleasant face: "I've heard about you, it's not a big deal, just take the exam next time, you are still young, and there are plenty of opportunities."

An Rubao respectfully said: "Uncle Ruxi is right," put the things in his hand on the table next to An Ruxi, and said, "Uncle, actually, I have something to tell you today." An Rubao Xi didn't even look at the things on the table, and only asked, "What's the matter?"

An Rubao said: "That's it. I want to buy some fields in the village and two mountains. I wonder if it will work?"

An Ruxi raised his eyebrows, and said, "Buy mountains? You want to buy mountains? Aren't you going to participate in the scientific examination to become an official? Why do you want to buy fields and mountains again?" An Rubao laughed: "Uncle, There is no conflict between these two things, I heard people say that only three mountains in our village are owned by owners, and I don’t know whether to sell the rest.” He didn’t want to continue taking the imperial examination and didn’t think about telling the world.

An Ruxi's question was only out of curiosity. Hearing what he said, she didn't ask any further, and said, "Except for Moling, the rest of the mountains are for sale. You just need to choose which mountain you want to buy, and when the time comes Just go to the town with me to do the paperwork, but there are many villages and mountains in our village, have you figured out where to buy it?"

An Rubao heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that it was feasible, and hurriedly said: "I've already thought about it," and told An Ruxi the place he had chosen. He knew everything, and after a little thought, he understood what he was talking about. He couldn't help but frowned and said, "Where? Although there are fewer mountains and rocks there, there is some land that can be reclaimed except for the outer periphery. The inside is full of dense forests. The valley is narrow and uneven, and it’s not suitable for changing it into fields. Although buying mountains is cheaper than buying land, the price for such a large area of ​​mountains is not too low, you have to think about it.”

An Rubao nodded, and said: "I've thought it through, that's where it is, and I'll trouble you for the rest." An Ruxi saw that he couldn't persuade him, and stopped trying to persuade him, saying: "Since you have decided , I won’t say much, I will take you to draw the border in two days, and then go to the town to do the paperwork.”

An Rubao thanked, "Thank you, Uncle Ruxi." He added: "As for the fields, if anyone in the village wants to sell them, please Uncle Ruxi, please keep an eye on them. It doesn't matter how much they are. It's best if they can be connected together." An Ruxi agreed one by one.

After the matter was concluded, An Rubao didn't delay any longer, sat for a while, then got up to leave.An Ruxi stayed a few words and sent him out the door.

An Rubao was in a good mood after one matter was resolved, humming a ditty all the way home.Unexpectedly, not far from the gate, he saw An Chengyou walking out of his house, and it was his husband who sent him out.Song Chu was wearing a light blue gown today, with his hair tied up high and a silver hairpin inserted, his whole person was heroic and energetic, while An Chengyou wore a moon-white gown with gold trim, and a stone blue belt around his waist , handsome young man, romantic and unrestrained, the two of them standing together seem unexpectedly harmonious and well-matched.Especially when An Chengyou went out, he turned around and said something to Song Chu, the gentle smile on his face made An Rubao's face darken immediately.
