Otherworldly Farmhouse

After buying some pork from a meat stall, Mu Feng went to the cloth store to pull some good-quality cloth, and planned to make some clothes for the family. Now that the family has a lot more money, Mu Feng is naturally willing to let the children and Ah Wen live better. Be comfortable.The footsteps walking back suddenly stopped, Mu Feng frowned, he was either busy with one thing or another during this time, he almost forgot it was time to plant rice.

When he was in the Tang family compound in previous years, Father Tang always reminded Mufeng, and would also take out the grain seeds that Mufeng had prepared the year before.They have separated this year, so naturally no one will remind Mu Feng, and no one will give Mu Feng the seeds.Mu Feng turned around and went to the grain store. The grain store not only sold rice, but also sold all kinds of grain seeds. He bought three catties of high-quality rice seeds, and then Mu Feng went home.

Ordinary grain seeds cost ten yuan a catty, but Mufeng sells the best grain seeds with the fullest and most uniform grains, and the price is naturally more expensive, costing fifteen yuan a catty, but Mufeng doesn't care about the extra money. Five cents, he knows very well that only the best grain seeds can be used to grow the best millet.

In previous years, when the rice is ripe, Mufeng will first select the rice with the most plump and uniform grains, the most grains, and the strongest plants as seeds.

Back home, the yard was quiet, without the usual noise of tang fruit and tang beans. Mu Feng took out the meat and vegetables and put them in the kitchen under the thatched shed, and put the basket in the thatched hut. Mu Feng grabbed two handfuls of grass and threw them away. Into the cages of pregnant hares, these hares are a little bigger than when they were first caught.

After washing his hands and straightening his clothes, Mu Feng walked towards the new house and walked into the house softly. Sure enough, he saw Tang Anwen in front of the window who was thinking quietly. Suddenly he picked up the pen and moved quickly on the paper, a simple line appeared, a large number of lines converged into vivid expressions, and a rather vivid picture appeared on the paper.

After Tang Anwen finished the last stroke, he put the brush on the simple pen holder that Mufeng made for him. Tang Anwen sat on the stool and stretched for a long time. He even yawned, feeling unspeakably comfortable all over. .

Standing up, before Tang Anwen could turn around, a bowl of water appeared in front of him. When Tang Anwen saw these broad hands, he was stunned for a moment and was not frightened.After receiving the water, he gulped down his fill, and at this moment, everything in his body felt comfortable.

Tang Anwen handed the bowl to Mu Feng and said, "When did you come back, you walked without making a sound, and you were almost taken aback."

Mu Feng took the empty bowl and said, "I didn't want to disturb you, so I didn't make a sound, where is the child?"

Tang Anwen thinks about it too. Usually when he is painting, even the children will not make noise in the house, and usually run to the yard to play. The wood wind must have told the children, otherwise how would the children who are only a few years old know? When you can be noisy, when you won't bother him.

Tang Anwen smiled and said: "They ran out with Tang Xuan, saying they were digging earthworms for the chickens, I think Tang Xuan must have taken them to the bamboo house to play again, this kid likes to play with Tang Guo and the others very much recently. "

When Mu Feng heard that Tang Xuan took the two children out, he was not worried. Tang Xuan took the children out to play not once or twice, but every time he would take the children to the bamboo house. The first child weaves some small things, and the two children like it very much. They always insert those small objects made of bamboo silk on the mud wall of the yard.

Mu Feng smiled and said: "They ran to Tang Xuan's side again, you go and see them, lest the two little guys cause trouble for Lin Zuo again, let Tang Xuan and the others come over for dinner by the way, that kid always talks about our food tasty."

Tang Anwen nodded. He had been sitting at home for a long time. The first half of the story, a total of 35 pages and [-] paintings, had been drawn.

All that is left is to add words to these paintings, and Tang Anwen has prepared the compressed story content, but today he wants to rest, and tomorrow he will write all the dialogues in the comics, and also write in the blank space at the bottom of the page Briefly write the compressed progress of the story, which is used by Tang Anwen to remind ancient people who have never read comics, so that people can read more clearly and understandably.

Seeing Tang Anwen walking out of the yard slowly, Mu Feng shook his head. He asked Tang Anwen to go out, naturally he wanted Tang Anwen to go for a walk, so that Ah Wen would not stay at home all day.

Mu Feng looked up to see that it was still early, he took a machete and went to the bamboo forest not far away. It is actually very labor-saving to build a bamboo house. The house was built mainly because there were already mud walls on three sides of the bamboo house.

The bamboos were chopped down one by one by Mufeng, the branches were cut off, and the tips of the moso bamboos were cut off. Mufeng dragged the bamboos back to the outside of the courtyard, and the bamboos were piled up one by one, and soon a small pile was formed.

When Tang Anwen approached the bamboo house, he heard two children yelling, Tang Xuan stood in front of Lin Zuo and stopped Lin Zuo, Tang Dou pulled the clothes behind Tang Xuan, Tang Guo pulled his brother's clothes, the three of them followed each other , Lin Zuo was thinking of a way to bypass Tang Xuan and catch the two squawking chickens behind him.

At this moment, Lin Zuo threw himself to the left, and Tang Xuan immediately went to intercept it. As a result, Lin Zuo quickly moved to the right. He had long hands and feet, and Tang Xuan couldn't stop him. He watched Lin Zuo grab him and the youngest behind him had no time to hide. chicken tang fruit.

Lin Zuo picked up Tang Guo and said to Tang Xuan: "Okay, I have caught the chick, the game is over. Guoguo is not thirsty, how about you, Dou Zi?" After Lin Zuo and Tang Xuan finished talking, they turned to the two A child said, this game is too naive, Lin Zuo is naturally not interested in this game, but Tang Xuan can't stand it, Tang Guo and Tang Dou can scream excitedly every time, of course the loudest one is Tang Xuan.

Both Tang Guo and Tang Dou were out of breath, Tang Guo nodded and said, "I'm thirsty, it's so hot, take off my clothes."

Tang Dou also nodded and wanted to drink water. He was sweating profusely now. He had already taken off his jacket because of the excitement of playing just now. So did Tang Guo. The two little guys in the sun were sweating all over their foreheads.

Lin Zuo pulled out Tang Guo's little hand and said, "Tang Xuan, go get a cloth towel and some hot water. Tang Guo, you can't take off your clothes anymore. You have already taken off your coat just now. After you wipe off your sweat and drink the water, you two You must obediently put your clothes back on, or you will catch a cold, and if you get sick, Uncle Lin Zuo and Uncle Tang Xuan will not be able to play with you in the future."

Hearing Lin Zuo's words, Tang Guo seemed to understand, but in the end he didn't pull off his clothes and let Lin Zuo put him on the ground.

Lin Zuo saw that Tang Guo was not pulling clothes, and brought the two children to the small table under the eaves, and poured warm water for the two children. Tang Guo and Tang Dou obediently held the bamboo quilt to drink.

After the two children finished drinking the water, Tang Xuan had already poured warm water out. Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo each grabbed a cloth towel and wrung them dry. They wiped the sweaty faces of the two little guys, and then put the two kids back on their coats. , this is the end.

Tang Xuan liked the two little guys so much, Lin Zuo was a little helpless, and he didn't want to see Tang Xuan's disappointed and disappointed eyes, so he tried his best to make the two kids like to stay and play here, and he could give Tang Xuan everything in this life, The only thing was that Tang Xuan couldn't give birth to even a child, but Tang Xuan liked children so much, he wondered if he could discuss with Mufeng Tang Anwen and let Tang Xuan recognize Tang Guo as his godson.

While dressing the two little guys, Tang Guo found his father standing outside the bamboo fence, and immediately shouted happily: "Daddy, daddy, my brother and uncle and I played eagles to catch chicks today, but It's fun."

The buckle has not been fastened yet, Lin Zuo can only let go of the over-excited little Tang Guo, and let the boy run towards Tang Anwen. Tang Dou has already put on the clothes obediently when Tang Xuan put on his clothes. Like Tang Dou, he thinks about it as soon as he thinks about it, and runs around before he puts on his clothes.

Tang Anwen caught the little son who was running towards him, and kissed the little guy's plump forehead, then rubbed the little round hairy head of little Tangguo and said, "Look at you, you're happy, you haven't even put on your clothes yet. Then run around, come and daddy will help you fasten the buttons."

Tang Anwen squatted down and buttoned Xiao Tangguo's clothes, and then took the little guy into the yard and said to Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo, "You two dote on them too much, it must have caused you a lot of trouble. "

Tang Xuan laughed when he heard Tang Anwen's words: "Where, they are fun. I like them very much. This place is also deserted. It can be more lively with them."

Lin Zuo also nodded after Tang Xuan finished speaking and said something, expressing his agreement with Tang Xuan's words, they will hunt in the mountains from autumn to winter, and stay in the bamboo forest in spring and summer, but the two of them will inevitably be deserted.The arrival of Tang Guo and Tang Dou added some troubles to them, but more importantly, it brought them carefree happiness, especially Tang Xuan's more smiles, which Lin Zuo was most happy about. .

Hearing Tang Xuan's words, Tang Anwen nodded reassuringly. He was worried that the child would cause trouble to others. If Lin Zuo didn't like the child, it would be very bad. But now it seems that Lin Zuo doesn't mind Tang Xuan bringing the child back For playing, Tang Anwen had to confirm that both Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo liked the two children, otherwise it would be bad for the children to come and play all the time.

Knowing that both of them like Tang Dou and Tang Guo, Tang Anwen said: "Come to my house for dinner tonight. Mufeng's craftsmanship is very good, and you have tried it before."

Tang Xuan said with a smile: "Tang Anwen, you are afraid that we don't want to go, as long as you open your mouth, we will go to your house to eat. Mufeng's craftsmanship is so good, it would be a pity not to eat, Tang Anwen, you are really blessed, you can To marry such a good daughter-in-law."

As soon as Tang Anwen heard Tang Xuan praise Mu Feng, he said proudly: "Of course, I don't care who my brother is, the wife I marry is naturally the best."

Tang Xuan listened to Tang Anwen's smugness, and dragged Tang Anwen to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables. They couldn't go empty-handed when they went to eat. Lin Zuo was naturally willing to accompany Tang Xuan. He was going to ask Mu Feng for advice on cooking. Barbecue is good, but Too much will always get boring, it's time to change the taste.

Tang Anwen and the others took the two little guys. On the side of the mountain, they encountered wild vegetables to dig wild vegetables, encountered mushrooms to pick mushrooms, as long as they were edible, they all got some back. On the wet rock wall, Lin Zuo and Tang Xuan picked I picked up a large handful of lichens. The lichens here are big, thick, and clean without any sand.

The sun was setting to the west, and the three adults and two children finally walked towards Tang Anwen's house contentedly. As for the earthworms, they had long been forgotten by Tang Xuan and the others.

Outside the yard, Mufeng had already piled up a lot of bamboos neatly. He wiped off the sweat from his forehead, looked at the sky, thought that Tang Anwen would bring the children back soon, so he stopped chopping bamboos and went back to the yard to start cooking dinner.

Tang Anwen took two children with him, and carried a bamboo basket on his back, which contained the harvest of the three adults and two children for an afternoon, wild vegetables, mushrooms, lichens, and some wild fruits.

As for Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo, they went back to get something and said it was very delicious, and let their family taste it later. Tang Anwen asked, but neither of them told him. Tang Xuan said it was a surprise Thinking, Tang Anwen thought that Tang Xuan must not surprise him.

For dinner, Mufeng didn't prepare anything complicated. He was going to cook dumplings. In the past, this kind of food was only eaten during the Chinese New Year. Now that the family conditions allow, Mufeng is naturally willing to make it for Ah Wen and the children. Going to Tang Xuan and the others is also because Tang Xuan always comes to play with the two children recently.

Although this may not be a big deal, Mu Feng still thinks that they are relatively close to Tang Xuan's house. As for the only neighbor, Mu Feng still hopes to establish a good relationship.There's nothing better and faster than a potluck to build a relationship.

When Tang Anwen and the others entered the room, Tang Guo chattered around Mufeng about their going outside. Mufeng was making noodles, and the pork was already on the chopping board, waiting to be minced to make dumpling fillings.

After Mufeng saw the weeds in Tang Anwen's back basket, he asked Tang Anwen to pick and wash the shepherd's purse. In the evening, Mufeng was going to make several flavors, stuffed with shepherd's purse, stuffed with radish, and stuffed with mushrooms.

When Mu Feng finished chopping the pork, Tang Anwen had already washed all the wild herbs and mushrooms to be used. He waited for Mu Feng to chop them finely, and then he started to wash the lichen that Mu Feng said. Salad.

At this moment, Tang Xuan came over with Lin Zuo, Mu Feng glanced at the bamboo tube in Tang Xuan's hand, he smiled and didn't expect Tang Xuan to find so many bamboo insects, and he didn't know how many he picked Bamboo worm nest.

Tang Anwen looked at Tang Xuan's mysterious look, lowered his head to look at the bamboo tube in Tang Xuan's hand, and shouted: "God, Tang Xuan, the surprise you are talking about is these bugs, right? Take them away quickly, I don't want to eat them." , otherwise Tang Xuan, we will feed these worms to the chickens, and Mu Feng said to make dumplings for dinner at night."

Amidst Tang Anwen's cry, the two little guys were attracted to them. Seeing the wriggling bugs in the half-can in the bamboo tube, the two little guys screamed in fright, and immediately hid away.

Tang Guo frowned and thought, are they going to eat bugs tonight?It's really scary, Guoguo doesn't dare to eat bugs that can wiggle, isn't this the food that should be given to chickens?Tang Guo couldn't figure out whether they were chickens or the chickens in the cage were chickens. Why did they compete with the chickens for food.

Amidst the quarrel, Mu Feng finished mixing the fillings, Tang Anwen stared at the dumpling wrappers, he just stopped cooking, he had never eaten or cooked in his previous life plus this life.Tang Xuan learned how to make it, but he didn't do it very well. Lin Zuo made it quite decently. He said that he only knows how to make buns, but he can't make stuffing or dough, so he can't make it. Come for the dumplings.

Dumplings with three fillings, two children, and four adults, ate more than a hundred dumplings, plus cold lichen, stir-fried wild vegetables, and fried bamboo worms. Everyone was satisfied.

Lin Xuan and the others went back before dark, and Tang Xuan was still talking about going to Mufeng to learn how to make dumplings, because they were so delicious that he almost swallowed his tongue at night, and he had to learn it. They live on the mountain in winter, and they can make a meal of dumplings with some flour and meat and cabbage. Sitting in front of a burning fire and eating delicious dumplings, it is an infinitely wonderful thing to think about.

The sky was getting dark, Tang Guo and Tang Dou were feeding once a day, and Xiaodai in the wooden basin looked at the fat bamboo worms writhing in front of him. He had never eaten this thing before. Mu Feng specially left it for the two children, and when he said hello to Xiaodai, Tang Guo was no longer afraid of bamboo insects, and kept kicking the bamboo insects in front of Xiaodai with a small stick.

Mu Feng suddenly remembered the bamboo baskets he hadn't collected today, and after telling Tang Anwen, he took the lantern and bucket to collect the bamboo baskets, otherwise the fish would surely die tomorrow.

Tang Anwen called over the two children who were still leaning against the tub, helped the two children wash their hands and faces, and asked the two children to rinse their mouths, then called for footwashing water, washed the feet of the two little guys, looked at the two The two little guys played and got into bed, Tang Anwen took out the clean underwear and changed the two little guys, and then it was over.

Although it seems that there is not much work to do, and it does not require much effort, and Mu Feng usually does it quite easily, but he did not expect that it would be quite tiring to actually do it. The main reason is that Xiao Tangguo is very uncooperative, either kicking water or washing his face. Hidden when feet.

The two little guys were tired from playing during the day, and it wasn't long before they got into bed. Tang Anwen flipped through the comics in his hand, but didn't pay attention to the two little guys. When he went back to check, the two little guys were already asleep. Tang Anwen stood He got up and walked to the bed, pressed the corners of the quilt for the two children, then opened the door and waited for Mu Feng to come back in the yard.

A quarter of an hour later, Mu Feng came back with a bucket. He originally planned to pack the fish into small bamboo tubes, but Tang Anwen took a light with the oil lamp and found that the black glutinous fish in the bucket had already started turning their bellies.

Mu Feng looked at the fish in the bucket and said, "It seems that they won't survive. It's a pity, or they would all be boiled now."

Tang Anwen suddenly thought of something and said: "Eating at night is very full, how can I eat fish soup, not to mention eating too much at night is not good for the body, it would be a pity if they all died. By the way, Mufeng, this fish is now Is there no need to kill it anymore, I see that last time you cooked fish soup, you just took off the head and didn't squeeze the fish belly or anything."

Mu Feng nodded and said: "That's right, the black glutinous fish is the most plump now, and the stomach is full of roe, so you can directly take off the head and make soup."

Tang Anwen heard Mu Feng's explanation and said: "It's easy without killing, Mu Feng, go and get our bamboo sieve, and then bring over the charcoal stove, we will directly dry these fish, no one has tried roasting them." Dried black glutinous fish may be delicious, as long as it tastes good, you won't worry about selling it."

After hearing Tang Anwen's words, Mu Feng quickly took out the charcoal stove. In fact, the so-called charcoal stove was just a relatively large broken porcelain vat, and the porcelain vat was filled with plant ash, and the charcoal was directly placed on the plant ash, and then the charcoal was burned. Hong, Mufeng refused Tang Anwen's help, saying that it would be contaminated with fishy smell, so he asked Tang Anwen to rest, and he could just come here.

Mufeng put the belly-turned black glutinous fish on the bamboo sieve. The bamboo sieve was placed at a height of [-] centimeters from the charcoal stove. sound.

Naturally, Tang Anwen didn't want to go to sleep alone, he wanted to accompany Mu Feng, the two of them sat in the thatched hut and watched more than a hundred fish being dried gradually, the room was filled with a faint fishy smell, and Mu Feng would change it from time to time The charcoal stove under the bamboo sieve can dry all the black glutinous fish.

Tang Anwen said to Mu Feng: "Mu Feng, what do you think of my story? Do you understand it? I want to show it to people who can read. Try to see the reaction first. Who do you think will be the most read?" Well, it is most likely that more people will be exposed to it, and it will become popular only if more people read it, and my book will be able to sell if everyone knows about it.”

When Mu Feng heard Tang Anwen's words, he was silent for a long time, and finally looked up at Tang Anwen and said: "Awen, there are not many people in our village who can read, and Song Yunxi can, but he is a brother, and now he is raising a baby, or Don't ask him to help. If something goes wrong, we can't explain it to your brother. Luo Ling seems to be able to read, so let's find a way and ask him to help. At worst, I'll go to the mountains with him. He should be willing to help. No, maybe we have a better way."

A bright light flashed in Mu Feng's mind, but unfortunately the feeling came and went quickly, before he could react, the bright light had already disappeared like a shooting star.

When Tang Anwen heard Mu Feng mention Luo Ling, he thought about it too. That guy looked like a fool, but he was actually a nice guy and very enthusiastic. He had been to their house several times. The first two times he came empty-handed. These small snacks tempted little Tang Guo and Tang Dou, and he didn't treat himself as an outsider very much. He chased Mu Feng several times to build a house quickly. He has a long-term rhythm of preparing to eat and live.

For this reason, Tang Anwen didn't want Mu Feng to build a house. There was a single man who chased after his wife's request every day.

Tang Anwen was actually a little upset with Luo Ling, but although he was unhappy, Tang Anwen absolutely believed in Mu Feng. Even if Luo Ling tried his best, Tang Anwen did not believe that Luo Ling could snatch Mu Feng away. Still in his heart, it was completely his own.

Of course, the above mentioned Luo Ling was all Tang Anwen's brainstorming imagination, what the truth is like, can only be found out by asking Luo Ling, the person concerned. At that time, Tang Anwen was an eyesore no matter how he looked at it.
