Otherworldly Farmhouse

On the second day after the rain stopped, the weather was fine and sunny, and the water in the river finally slowed down and became shallow at a very fast speed.Tang Anwen is very busy now, and he hasn't mowed the grass for many days. What he fed in the past two days was the hay that their family usually stores for emergency use, and now they have almost used up all of them.

At this moment, Tang Anwen not only had to cut fresh grass, but also prepared a new batch of hay fodder. If the weather was like this next time, he didn't have to worry about running out of fodder to feed the horses and sheep.

Mu Feng carried the basket with beans and fruits, and the three of them went to collect mung beans and red beans. Every time Tang Dou saw the beans falling on the ground, he would feel very sorry. Fortunately, he raised a lot of chickens at home. Sprouts can still be picked up and ground to feed chickens.

The red beans and mung beans picked up were all dried on the bamboo sieve. Tang Anwen was cutting back a large basket of grass from the foot of the mountain. Just dry it out.

Just when Mu Feng took the two children out to pick up pods again, Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo also came over. When they returned home yesterday, some water was blown into the house, and it took a whole day to clean everything up. They came here today Help Tang Anwen and the others.

After adding these two adults, the speed of picking up pods became faster. Tang Guo and Tang Dou began to pick up the beans that fell on the ground. These beans may be stained with sand, and they can be smashed with a stone after washing. , When it's time to feed the chickens, grab a handful and throw them into the chicken pen.

Mu Feng picked up another half of the basket of red beans. The scorching sun rose and the temperature began to rise. Tang Anwen also called for a second basket of green grass, and called Mu Feng from a distance, telling everyone that it was almost done. They can go home and work on it. It's not good if you have heatstroke.

Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo asked Mu Feng to take the children back first, so that the two children would not suffer from heat stroke. Tang Xuan also asked Mu Feng to go back and cook some mung bean soup. It has been raining for the past few days, and the weather is not stuffy, so Mu Feng has not been there for several days. overcooked.

Just when Mu Feng was about to take Tangguo Tangdou back, a few people came from a distance. Mu Feng recognized Tang and Tang Dequan at a glance, and Tang Anwen's second brother Tang Anbao followed behind them.I don't know what the two of them are going to do today. Could it be that the family is busy.As long as their family has not been busy yet, let alone this time when Tangjia Village was flooded, Mufeng met Zhang Lan on the opposite bank in the morning, and the two talked a few words across the river.Zhang Lan's house only has four rooms, and even a small yard has not been cleaned up.What's more, Tang De's family is so big, and there are a lot of things to clean up, so they are busy so quickly.

In fact, Mu Feng already felt a bit like a warlord towards the old couple. The old couple would never think of their family when things were going well, but they would never forget their family when things were going wrong.

Seeing the two people walking in, Mu Feng called out Daddy and Ah Mu, asked Tang Guo Tang Dou to call Grandma Grandpa, and called Tang Anbao Second Brother, and asked Tang Anbao if the river receded, and if the river receded, he would go to Take a look in the field.

Tang Anbao told Mufeng that the river had receded so little that he could walk over it. He had already seen Mufeng's fields when he came over.

Mu Feng led the old couple to the house, seeing the two dawdling little guys, he urged Tang Guo to go away twice before speeding up his pace.

Tang Anwen watched Mu Feng bring the old couple of the Tang family into the house. He was a little confused about what Tang Dequan and Tang He were doing here. Since the move, the old couple had come here very few times, and every time they came, it was not a pleasant thing.

Tang Anwen said: "Father and mother, are you here for something?"

Tang Dequan frowned when he heard Tang Anwen's words, and said, "What do you mean, I can't come to see you if I have nothing to do? How are you doing recently? I heard from Tang Lang's family that Mu Feng is pregnant again. You have to have a good birth, don't have any problems, you are not too young to raise a kid."

Tang Anwen smiled at Tang Dequan, the emotional sun came out to the west, and his father knew he cared about him, but this is really not the time, he still has a lot of things to do today, and he doesn't know about the small pond that he just cleaned up this morning Is the water full? There is no clean water today, so he can only go to the well in Tangjia Village to fetch water.

Tang Anwen nodded, and the whole hall fell silent, and no one said a word.

Seeing that Tang Anwen bowed his head and did not speak, Mu Feng did not speak either. In the dull atmosphere, Mu Feng took Tang Guo and Dou Zi out of the living room, and asked the two children who were obviously silent to go to Tang Xuan and Lin Zuo, and then Mu Feng set fire to the fire. A pot of water returned to the main room.

Tang Anbao finally couldn't keep silent anymore, even his father and mother were unwilling to speak, he was the one to do the bad guy, who would make him have a better relationship with his third brother?Tang Anbao sometimes doubted himself, why did he love his third brother, and why did he love his third brother? When something really happened, he never seemed to help his third brother.

When the little brother Tang Yun came back to send the news that his third brother had an accident, when he went to pick up his third brother, he slapped Tang Yun. Tang Yun never dared to go home after so many years, and Tang Yun gave Ah Wen 30 He didn't give two silver coins to Ah Wen's daughter-in-law, Mu Feng, but gave it to his father. Obviously, Qiu Donglai had told him that the silver money must be spent on Tang Anwen.One by one, Tang Anbao felt that he was very sorry for his third brother.

Tang Anbao said embarrassingly: "The third brother is like this. When the water rose a few days ago in the middle of the night, no one in the family noticed it. It has been many years since such a flood. When I woke up the next morning, Gu All the grain in the warehouse is soaked in sewage, it is impossible to eat, and you may get sick if you eat it. I also went to the town yesterday to see that the price of grain in the grain store has risen sharply. Borrow some to eat, after a while the price of grain brought from outside will come down again, and then I will buy it and return it to you.”

After listening to Tang Anbao's words, Tang Anwen thought for a while and said, "Second brother, I don't have much food in my house. I always eat and buy a little. The food at home is enough for us to eat for ten days and half a month." Tang Anwen said It is true that Mu Feng used to buy rice in a bag of fifty to sixty catties, which was enough for the family to feed for half a year and a month.

Later, after Mu Feng became pregnant, he changed to Tang Anwen to buy food. He was the kind of modern person who thought of buying a little to eat, and basically bought thirty to fifty catties. He never thought about storing food at home. idea.Now that my second brother came to him to borrow food, I suddenly realized that this world is very different from the original world. If you don’t save more food, if something happens, you may not be able to find a place to buy it.

After hearing what Tang Anwen said, Tang Anbao said, "Oh," but didn't say anything.

But Tang Dequan obviously didn't believe what Tang Anwen said, but Tang He reacted greatly and immediately shouted: "How could your family have no food? A few days ago, your family bought those golden cicadas every day. Aren't they all white money? If you have money to buy those things, you can still buy food without money. I heard people in the village say that all you eat is white rice. If you are successful and make money, you don’t know how to be filial to your parents. Is it your wife’s instigation? I told you not to worry about the family, and forget about Amu's father, I knew that Mu Feng was a ruthless guy with his looks."

Tang He's spearhead was directed at Mu Feng, and Tang Anwen was a little puzzled when he heard Tang He's words, respecting his father and mother.The idiot did not pay less filial piety to his parents back then, and all the money he earned was used to subsidize the family. He did not keep it for himself, but when he had an accident, the family took care of him and took care of him. It was all taken care of by Mu Feng. Of course, Tang Anwen would not forget Song Yunxi, if it weren't for this fourth brother, looking at the fool, maybe the fool might really run out to die and no one in the ravine would know.

After listening to Tang He's words, Mu Feng couldn't agree with him and said, "Mum, you are wrong. We are buying Cicada flowers on behalf of others, and the money is also someone else's. As for the food and rice, there is really not much food. Ah Wen is not right about these things. I am very good at it, and I have not given any special instructions. It has been more than ten days since the rice sale this time, and the leftovers in our family are enough for half a month. Both Awen and the children are used to rice, and they cannot eat red brown rice. Such coarse grains. If you don’t mind, our family hadn’t finished eating the red and brown grains when we separated last time, and there was still some cornmeal, about a hundred catties. Why don’t you take it home and top it up first, and you don’t need to say anything Yes, just take it and eat it."

Tang Quande nodded when he heard Mu Feng's words. Although there was not much food, at least it could last for a while, enough to wait until the food in the town came down.In fact, there are quite a few people in the village who store grain in barns like theirs. The grain in these people’s homes is also polluted by sewage. I can't eat it, at most I can cook it and feed it to livestock.

Tang He snorted when he heard Mu Feng's words, as if he was quite dissatisfied, but said in his mouth: "What I ate before, I can't eat now. What a good family. Tang Anwen, you are a white-eyed wolf with no conscience. You obviously have food but say you don't have it." , I want to starve you to death on purpose, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Anwen really wanted to roll his eyes. Tang Anwen had completely forgotten about things like the red brown valley, and those things were all crushed by the wooden wind-pressed box.But I heard Mu Feng patiently said: "Don't speak so harshly, Ah Wen doesn't know these things at all. I have always been in charge of food matters, and he is responsible for buying. How much rice is there at home? He has no idea."

Tang Anbao also couldn't hear what A Mu said: "Mu, please don't say a few words, my brother didn't even go into the kitchen before, how could he know this. Mufeng thank you this time, when our family's red brown valley comes out, I'll send it back instead."

Hearing Tang Anbao's words, Tang He seemed to have some objections, and finally closed his mouth amid Tang Dequan's low cough.

Mu Feng took out the cornmeal and red-brown grains at home, and packed five or six catties of red beans and mung beans, and told Tang Anbao that although they could not be eaten as a staple food, it was good to make some soup for drinking.

Looking at the three people who were finally sent away, Tang Anwen heaved a sigh of relief. He actually didn't want to associate with people in the Tang family compound, but living in such a village, their family's reputation has improved a lot recently, Tang Anwen really didn't want to Let the villagers point out some jokes, so that even Mufeng can feel a little better when he goes to the village.

Tang Xuan looked at the three people who left with food on their backs and walked into the yard and said to Tang Anwen: "Tang Anwen borrowed this time, and there is a possibility that there will be a next time. Be careful that you don't have enough food. There are many mouths waiting in your Tang family compound." For dinner."

After hearing Tang Xuan's words, Tang Anwen said: "Don't worry about it, you'll always be able to eat with one mouthful. If you feel like picking beans, you won't starve to death even if you don't have rice. By the way, Mufeng, how much rice do we have at home?" , Don’t really have no place to buy it at that time, I decided to wait for a while, I want to buy more rice and store it at home, in case something goes wrong that day, such as floods and droughts, the family has enough food base.”

Mu Feng almost laughed when he heard Tang Anwen's declaration. Seeing that the year is going well, he is also planning to wait until the new rice comes out and buy more rice for storage, lest there be some kind of disaster and life will be sad.

As for what Ah Wen said about buying rice, it is absolutely unfeasible. Rice bought in winter can be stored for a period of time. If you buy too much rice in summer, you will have to raise bugs.

Mu Feng suddenly thought that the food in the Tang family compound was flooded, and that Tang Lang's family's food might also be flooded, so he asked Tang Anwen to go to Zhang Lan's house to have a look. Give out a small part to Tang Lang's family for first aid.Mu Feng is also planning to wait for a day, and go to Zhangjia Village after the water on the road is dry. However, the terrain of Zhangjia Village is still relatively high, and it should not be submerged like Tangjia Village. He still remembers this time It has been more than ten years since the last time the water was flooded, so it is no wonder that it has been taken lightly when it is submerged.

Tang Anwen naturally felt reasonable when he heard Mu Feng's words. If it wasn't for Tang Lang that day, his little life would probably be taken back by God again, so he must thank him.So Tang Anwen poured some red beans and mung beans, picked up a dozen eggs and walked towards Tang Lang's house.Tang Lang's family had just raised five or six hens, but not long ago, and there was still some time before laying eggs. Tang Anwen simply sent them to Tang Lang and the others for a tooth-beating sacrifice. Farmers were generally reluctant to go to the town to buy them and eat them.

Tang Anwen stepped on the rocks. Although there was still some water, it was no problem to walk over. Who would have thought that this place was still a dangerous area that could kill people two days ago.

Arriving at the door of Tang Lang's house, Tang Anwen kicked at the door. The two people who were busy cleaning the boxes and stools in the yard immediately turned their heads. Seeing that it was Tang Anwen, the two quickly greeted each other and asked Tang Anwen to come in for a meeting. But the two of them didn't stop what they were doing.

Tang Anwen looked around the room, but he didn't see the two crazy Tang Yu and Tang Ming. Zhang Lan seemed to see Tang Anwen's doubts and said: "The two of them were sent to grandpa by me on the second day when the water flooded. I went home, and I had a good time with my cousins ​​these two days, so I refuse to come back!"

Tang Anwen thought that having a good natal family would make life easier, and if something happened, the child could be sent to the natal family first.Of course, Tang Anwen didn't forget the business, so he said: "Zhang Lan, is your family's food flooded? If there is not enough food, our family will order it out for you to eat. These are the ones that Mufeng asked me to bring. The eggs have just been laid these two days Yes, mung beans and red beans are all newly picked up this year, and the soup is delicious."

Zhang Lan took the things and said with a smile: "You two are really caring, thank you, I will accept the things. The family is not short of food now. When the family was separated, Tang Lang's father and mother didn't give much food. It was not placed in the barn, but in a large vat, so my family’s grain escaped from being soaked. In addition, my brother brought a bag of grain over early yesterday morning, which was still enough to eat. The people from the Tang family compound asked you to borrow food just now, if your family doesn’t have enough, you can come to us to get some first.”

Tang Anwen was a little envious of Brother Zhang Lan's feelings, but shook his head and said, "My family still has enough to eat for half a month. If I really don't have any, I can borrow some from your house. By the way, did your brother talk about the situation in Zhangjia Village when he came here? Didn't get flooded, I'm afraid Mu Feng is worried, ask first, and accompany him to Zhangjiacun tomorrow."

Zhang Lan was also happy for Mu Feng when he heard Tang Anwen's words. It seems that Tang Anwen's heart has indeed settled down with Mu Feng, and he looked softer at Tang Anwen and said: "Don't worry, Zhangjia Village is very high. Both sides are flooded, and Zhangjia Village will not be flooded, and my brother told me. Mufeng's father and brother are good, you can tell Mufeng not to worry, and you can raise your baby at home with peace of mind. Don't let Mu Feng wander around in the past few days, let alone rush to Zhangjiacun. The road is slippery, and the road is not necessarily clean. Who knows if there is any accident after a flood. Wait for the weather to improve after a while Let's go again."

Tang Anwen nodded, and helped Tang Lang move the dried bed frame back into the house. Then he opened his mouth and told Tang Lang what happened that night, and told Tang Lang not to mention it in front of Mu Feng. Mu Feng felt guilty about this, Tang Lang nodded, and told Tang Anwen that he would talk to Zhang Lando, because it was Zhang Lando who mentioned it that day, so he ran to the bamboo forest to wait for Tang Anwen. Tang Anwen was killed.

With one thing in mind, Tang Anwen helped the two of them move all the heavy objects back into the house, and then walked towards the house with ease.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Tang Anwen was dumbfounded looking at the scene in the yard, what was causing the trouble.As soon as Luo Ling saw Tang Anwen coming back, he hurriedly asked Tang Anwen to come over quickly. It turned out that Lao Song came to him today and brought his son who had done something stupid to make amends to Tang Anwen.

Tang Anwen walked over and asked, "What's going on with Luo Ling? There's such a big battle, what are you guys doing sending so many things here, Song?" He pointed to the people on the ground and asked, "This is the pair of second sons."

Old Song nodded immediately, then turned his head and yelled at the second son who was kneeling on the ground: "Song Yi still hasn't apologized to the master's forehead, you unfilial son has thrown our old Song's face into it, if you are here this time Don't regret it, regret it, father will break your leg with his own hands, since I gave birth to you, I will raise you forever."

Song Yi saw that his father was getting anxious again, and quickly agreed: "Dad, don't worry, I know I was wrong, I repent and I corrected, please don't worry. Mr. Tang, I will never do that again It's over, don't worry, I told the shopkeeper at the bookstore in the town, there are still ten books, and it's not good to withdraw, the price is difficult to adjust back. It's not the shopkeeper's problem, but other people have already bought it The low price, if the price is raised, they are not willing to buy it, and feel that they are at a disadvantage. I think it’s better to just keep the price, and you can make a lot of money, and sell it faster. You can go to the shopkeeper to settle the money at that time .I also brought you the money for selling the painting books. I sold a total of 15 books during this period and got [-] taels of silver. Please forgive me. My father was so angry that I vomited blood this time. I really know I was wrong."

When Tang Anwen heard the other party's words, he saw that there was genuine remorse in the other party's eyes, and the old man's complexion was also very bad. Luo Ling nodded when Song Yi said that the old man was vomiting blood from anger. The son vomited blood angrily, he nodded and said, "Stop kowtowing, get up and talk first, okay?"

Song Yi said: "No, Mr. Tang, if you don't forgive me, I won't get up, otherwise my father will always be angry. I have done a lot of stupid things these years. But I never thought that I would make my father angry Vomiting blood, I regret it now, I regret it very much, I will definitely reform myself, never gamble again, and never do anything that makes daddy unhappy."

Tang Anwen turned to the person who kowtowed to him while talking, saw that the other person's forehead was bloodshot, and finally nodded to forgive him, but he mentioned another thing again, which was to let Song Yituo print the painting book to another town Going up to buy it, Song Yi didn't dare at all, for fear of angering his father again.

When Tang Anwen suddenly treated Song Yi like this, you rubbed the picture book and went to other towns to buy it, and then the money you earned was paid for at three or seven, Song Yiqi, he three.So after hearing this proposal, even Luo Ling nodded. This idea is very good. It can not only give Song Yi a job, but also allow Song Yi to promote Tang Anwen's picture book, and at the same time gain more people who read the picture book.

Elder Song immediately objected. He told Tang Anwen that even if the share was divided, it should be Tang Anwen seven and his son three. Seeing that Elder Song strongly objected, Tang Anwen suddenly thought that maybe he could follow another model and give it a try.

So he quickly told Lao Song that this matter could be discussed, and when he had a detailed discussion with Song Yi, let Song Lao stop worrying, the prodigal son will not change his money when he turns back, and give this son a chance to reform himself.Only then did Lao Song calm down. He was worried about this child. In the past two years, he saw his son getting better, and he stopped betting and lived a good life with his wife. Thinking about it, he almost pissed Lao Song to death, and was so angry that Song Yi vomited blood.

Now, not only did the master not blame him, but he was willing to cooperate with his son. If his son really liked him and had a job to do, even Lao Song would be happy for his son. No one in the world hopes that Song Yi can do well, An An Let's live a good life, and stop doing some crooked ways to make a living.

Several people sat down in the yard, Tang Anwen brought a pen and paper, and began to discuss specific matters with Song Yi.Song Yi took out the two volumes of picture books for sale, including those in the town, and the account books issued by the town shall prevail at that time. After deducting the principal, the rest of the money earned would be divided [-]-[-].However, there are also regulations, that is, Song Yi must sell [-] books every month, and he must also sell painting books to other towns.

After each town sells, Song Yi has to record it in the book, and every month he has to tie up with Tang Anwen, under the supervision of Luo Ling Lao Song. If there is any violation, Tang Anwen has the right to unilaterally end the cooperation, but Song Yi does not.

Tang Anwen actually thinks this way. He can try this book first with Song Yi. After all, he is only a person with limited energy. Tang Anwen does not want to abandon Mufeng and the child just to make money. He is thinking about the most important thing. Just being with the child and Mu Feng, nothing can go beyond this, you can't put the cart before the horse, as for the money and so on, just spend enough, the family's free and happy life is more important than anything else, if Tang Anwen is made to work as hard as he did in his previous life, he will be able to fight back. Even Tang Anwen was unwilling to die. A happy life is the most important thing.

As for the money that Song Yi sent back this time, it was used as the funds for the beginning of the cooperation between the two, and was used to purchase materials such as ink and rice paper. The painting books were rubbed by Xiao Song, who was supervised by Lao Song. , Tang Anwen is quite satisfied with this. He is very clear about how tiring rubbing is. This rubbing is not just rubbing, but also integrates binding, rest and so on...

Tang Anwen felt that his decision was wise. In just half a month, Tang Anwen didn't leave home, and he didn't know what trick Song Yi used to sell the picture books in bookstores in three towns.This time Song Yi came to settle the settlement with Tang Anwen first, and he planned to sell the painting book in the city.During this period of time, he sold [-] picture books, and he could make a net profit of [-] Wen per book after excluding the cost.Tang Anwen divided nine taels of silver, which was more than what he earned by selling it in the town, and as time goes by, I believe that there will be more.

A few days later, Tang Anwen woke up early in the morning and was ready to fetch water. Although Mufeng listened to him in most matters, sometimes he would go to fetch water when he was not awake. Water, what did you say that there is no water at home, so I can't make breakfast.

So Tang Anwen got up early recently so that Mu Feng could sleep a little longer. Even Tang Anwen had already started to learn how to cook porridge. He felt that cooking was not as difficult as he imagined. At least the porridge he cooked tasted very good.Tang Xuan rolled his eyes at Tang Anwen, who was complacent about making porridge without strange flavors. He could cook porridge, but if he had porridge without any vegetables, his mouth would be sour after drinking it for a few more days.Isn't it a terrible thing to let a grown man drink a stomach full of clear soup and little water!

Just when Tang Anwen proposed two buckets to hold the pole, there was a knock on the door outside the house, Tang Anwen answered and would come right away, please wait a moment.

Tang Anwen was dumbfounded when he opened the door. Looking at the handsome guy pulling the horse in front of him, Tang Anwen, who was almost dumb and unable to react, stammered, "You, you have something to do, who do you want..."

The handsome guy showed a smile to the slightly stuttering person in front of him and said: "My name is Muyu, and I am a friend of Mufeng from the Muha clan. May I ask if the little brother Mufeng's family lives here? I found Tangjia Village in Shuitian Town and finally found the barren village. I didn't expect that there is only one family here, as Mu Fengxin said, I think I must have found the wrong place."

After Tang Anwen heard that Duo Fang's surname was Mu, he immediately knew that this person was from the Muha clan, a free bodyguard summoned by Mu Feng, who came to give Luo Ling a blind date on a part-time basis.So Tang Anwen hurriedly said enthusiastically: "Come in quickly, come in quickly, you have worked hard all the way, I will pour you a bowl of water first. Oh, your horse is fine outside, it won't run away and get lost."

Mu Yu shook his head with a smile and said: "It's not hard, just take it for a trip. The horse is fine, it has been specially trained, and it will come back with a whistle. Now it's just going to eat, don't worry about it. You are Mu Yu Feng’s husband, Lang Awen, what about Mu Feng’s others?”

Tang Anwen said: "Mu Feng, he is pregnant and I will let him sleep for a while, you sit down first, I will go and wake Mu Feng up immediately." Tang Anwen helped Mu Yu get a bowl of water while talking.

Mu Yu, who took the bowl, heard Tang Anwen's words and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't wake Mu Feng, it's not easy to be pregnant, let him sleep a little longer, I'll be fine later. Did you just fetch water? , do you want me to help you?"

Tang Anwen was speechless for the person who enthusiastically asked for help when they met for the first time. Could it be that all the brothers of the Muha clan are like this? This is simply good news for men in the world. It's still a tribe, but Tang Anwen doesn't want to educate his two younger brothers to be like this. Brothers are held in the palm of their hands and pampered, how can they work hard every day.

Seeing that the other party kept looking at him, Tang Anwen finally said: "Why don't you help me make breakfast, Mu Feng is a little lethargic these days, although I can cook porridge, but I can't do anything else, if you don't mind the trouble, please help me make breakfast Well, you probably didn’t eat when you came so early, and there’s nothing delicious at home now, so you can do it yourself.”

Mu Yu looked at Tang Anwen with a slightly embarrassed expression and smiled: "Why is it troublesome? Mu Feng and I were good friends when we were young. You can tell me anything if you have anything. I will definitely not refuse if I can help."

Seeing Mu Yu's generous appearance, Tang Anwen didn't feel embarrassed. He knew that Mu Yu's character might also be similar to Mu Feng's, they were both straightforward and generous and didn't care about anything, so he said, "What do you have in the kitchen?" Just look at it and do it, you sit down first, and I will fetch water."

Mu Feng was awakened by the sound of fists and feet. He put on his clothes and went out of the yard, and saw Tang Xuan Lin Zuo confronting a strange brother.
