General's Farmer's Wife
Work related
, You can get the crops sold in the market.
When he was free, he went to the mountains or around the village to find various medicinal materials or food that could be sold for money. In this year, he really found a lot of good things one after another. Some common medicines learned by the old doctor in the village or several herbs that Xu Qiang knew when playing magic cards in QQ, and he also discovered some more precious medicinal materials.Xu Lian kept some commonly used medicines for his own spare, and sold them to the old doctor in the village or the pharmacy in the town.
In terms of food, Xu Lian found a lot of fruits, such as mulberry, loquat, hawthorn, kiwi, pomegranate, etc., as well as a lot of wild vegetables, including Chinese toon, mustard greens, bitter gourd, shepherd's purse, purslane, etc. What made Xu Lian happy was that he found the lotus in a mountain depression. It was the season when the lotus was in full bloom. Xu Lian happily picked lotus, lotus pods, lotus roots, and lotus leaves, and he swept away all the edible ones. And pass.Xu Lian will not let go of some edible flowers that he usually sees. Basically, he will move them home to dry and store them.These wild vegetables may be very valuable in modern times, but no one would buy them at this time, so Xu Lian had to eat them at home, or give some to Xue Shan's family.
In addition, Xu Lian also changed his habit of wanting to buy things when he got the money, and started to save as much money as possible. He stopped buying some things that were not very useful, and used other necessities that could be replaced by other cheap items. , Also choose cheap things.
But regarding Xue Chen's three meals and nutrition, Xu Lian dared not relax at all times, fearing that he would not grow well in the future.So some meat and eggs often appear on the table, and the most common one is probably meat and bone soup, which is calcium-supplementing and nutritious, and the price is low, isn’t it?
This day was Xue Chen's birthday, Xu Lian took Xue Chen to the town to do some shopping while Xue Chen didn't need to go to class, and took him out to have fun.After shopping, it was almost noon, and Xue Chen shouted that he was hungry, so Xu Lian took him to a small inn called "Xiangmanlou" next to the market for dinner.This inn is run by an old lady, who is kind and friendly, and the price of the things she sells is fair, and the taste is also good. Many people in Xu Lian Village prefer to eat at his place.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Lian found that there were a lot fewer people eating today than in the past. The lobby was basically full of people at this time when he came a few times before, but today the entire lobby only had four or five people sitting in twos and threes. There is also some dissatisfaction on the face.Besides, the old youngest didn't seem to be there, and those juniors were also weak in their work.
Although Xu Lian was strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. He and Xue Chen entered the door and found a seat by the window and sat down. A waiter saw a guest coming in, so he came over actively. After Xu Lian ordered a few dishes, he Sitting there with Xue Chen and waiting for the food to be served.But Xu Lian and Xue Chen sat for a long time and no one brought the food, which made Xu Lian very angry.
The angry Xu Lian was about to get up to discuss with the shopkeeper when he heard two little girls talking over there.
Xiao Erjia: "Hey, how can you say that the shopkeeper just left? The shopkeeper is not good at doing business at all. Since he took over this shop, the business in the shop has deteriorated a lot! It doesn't even look like that. What kind of guests. We don't even have the energy to do it."
Little Eryi: "Yeah, when the shopkeeper was here, everything was done in a stable manner. Now ------ well, it's either gone like this, or gone like that, and the little shopkeeper and The guests have conflicts, what is this called?"
Xiao Erjia: "Yes, this little shopkeeper is a scholar. It's okay to let him read and write, but it's difficult to let him do these things!"
Xiao Eryi: "Otherwise, why do some people say 'you are a scholar if you are useless'? Hey, do you think this store can continue to operate?"
Little Erjia: "I see, Xuan!"
Xiao Eryi: "Then should we find another store? I don't want to get paid in the future. It would be great if the shopkeeper could find someone who can manage the store!"
-----------
Xu Lian didn't listen any more. Xu Lian was delighted when he heard this. For more than a year, Xu Lian knew that he was half-knowledgeable about farming. Even if he had the confidence to grow the land better than others, he I have one person, and there is Xue Chen to take care of at home, so I really can't plant much land.After realizing this point, Xu Lian began to save money desperately, thinking of opening a small restaurant by himself, so that the money would come in quickly, but he hadn't saved much money for nearly a year, at least to open a decent small restaurant. I don't know how long ago, Xu Lian set his mind on cooperating with others, but in this era, people won't cooperate with you casually because they are neither relatives nor relatives.
Today's conversation between these two mistresses made Xu Lian think of a way, which is to find a way to cooperate with the owner of this store.Hearing what the two mistresses mean, the owner of this store is a scholar, and he is not good at managing restaurants. Maybe I can cooperate with this boss and help him manage the restaurant, but the premise is that I have to own a certain share of this store. In this way, I also have the right to speak in this store, don't I?
If you can, you can talk to the boss first.Action is not as good as heartbeat, after Xu Lian had dinner with Xue Chen, and when Xue Chen was full, he took Xue Chen and the waiter in the store to ask to see their shopkeeper, making the waiter think that they were sorry for the shopkeeper. If there is something dissatisfied with the meal, I want to complain to the shopkeeper, and apologize to him quickly, and also hint that talking to the shopkeeper may still not be able to solve it.
Xu Lian knew that they were doing it for his own good, so he smiled and told them that he wanted to do business with the shopkeeper, not for anything else.
After talking about the little girl, I was still a little worried, but after all, I helped him to call the shopkeeper.
Not long after, the waiter came back and said that the shopkeeper invited him to talk in the cubicle upstairs.Xu Lian readily agreed, and led Xue Chen upstairs with Xiaoer.
This little shopkeeper said that he is not young, and he is about 20 years old. In Xu Lian's original world, the 20-year-old guy probably still has acne and is crazy in college, but the 20-year-old boy in this era may be The fathers or aunts of several children are gone.Well, he was quite fair and clean, with weak writing, and was a little different from the people he met in the village.Maybe it's because I usually stay in the house and rarely come out to bask in the sun.
"I heard from the third son that you want to discuss business with me?" Zhang Linyu asked as soon as he entered the room, with a hint of impatience on his face.
Little three?It's the little girl just now, why is this name so good, the name of the eunuch I heard on TV before,
However, Xu Lian quickly put these random thoughts behind him, cheered up and said, "Yes, shopkeeper, I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation? How do you say it?" Zhang Linyu was confused and didn't understand what Xu Lian meant by cooperation.
"Cooperation, to put it simply, means that I will help you manage this inn. All the affairs can be handed over to me, but you want to give me a part of the shares in this inn?" Xu Lian simply explained his intention.But just after he finished speaking, Xu Lian couldn't help but wonder why he used the modern word "share" in his head.
"Shares? What is that? I've never heard of it before." Zhang Linyu asked even more strangely.
"Shares, shares are the ownership of this store, which means that in the future, this store will be shared by me and you, not your family." Xu Lian explained.
As soon as Zhang Linyu heard that his store would be lost, he immediately objected: "That's no good, this store was passed down from my ancestors, how can I just give it to you like this."
"You don't mean that this store is given to me, but that we share it, and you can take up half of the shares, so that you have the highest right to speak in this store, and I own part of the shares, and I will also own A certain right to speak, so that I can manage this store more attentively, and I believe the guys below will listen to me more. If, in the future, there are some different opinions from our management of this store, we can also take it Come to discuss, instead of me listening to you blindly. And you don't have to worry that I will take your inn, if I want to leave, I will return the equity of this store to you. ------ --" Xu Lianlu talked a lot about the advantages of owning a certain amount of shares, and the disadvantages of not having shares, making Zhang Linyu, who doesn't understand business at all, dizzy, and finally didn't know why He also agreed to give Xu Lian 40% of the shares and let him manage the inn.Before he could react, Xu Lian was about to sign an agreement with him.
After receiving the agreement notarized in the yamen, Xu Lian smiled from ear to ear.Although he knew it was unkind to do so, he believed that he would not let Zhang Linyu suffer.And this is also the first step towards business and a well-off life.
After doing this, Xu Lian put the agreement in his arms properly, told Zhang Linyu that he would go back to the inn in a few days, and took Xue Chen back with a smile.
On the way back, Xu Lian, who was smiling at first, saw Xue Chen whom he was leading, and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something today. He suddenly slapped his head and scolded himself for forgetting Chen’er’s birthday, and was busy shopping in the morning. After being so busy with Zhang Linyu in the afternoon, I forgot to take Xue Chen to play.
Thinking of this problem, Xu Lian immediately apologized to Xue Chen, and promised to cook him delicious longevity noodles after returning home.

13. Against...
The next day, Xu Lian went to Xue Shan's home and happily announced that he was going to work in "Xiangmanlou", and he still owned 40% of the shares in Xiangmanlou. Of course, Xu Lian also explained by the way that the shares What means.
Just as Xu Lian was triumphantly waiting for Xue Shan and Lin Yue's compliment, he found that the expressions on the faces of the two opposite people were not happiness, but worry and displeasure, but they also seemed to be a little happy.
The smile on Xu Lian's face immediately froze, and hesitantly asked the two of them: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xue Shan and Lin Yue looked at each other, and finally Xue Shan asked, "Alian, are you going to remarry?"
Xu Lian felt that he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear the word "remarry" on him? ), not to mention remarrying.Hallucinations, definitely hallucinations.
"Well, brother, I didn't hear what you said just now, can you please repeat it?" Xu Lian who was nervous did not notice that he had used the honorific speech just now.
"A-Lian, I want to ask if you want to remarry the little boss of the inn. I have met that little boss before. He is a learned man. If you marry him, you should not suffer any more. For Afeng After so many years, you still take care of Chen'er with all your heart. Now we don't know whether Ah Feng is alive or dead. We have no reason to ask you to keep guarding this house. And when Ah Feng left, we told me that if you Find someone who can take care of you, let us decide to marry you off, and don't delay your life. However, Alian, I hope you can keep Chen'er. He is Afeng's only child. Although our family is not as good as That little boss, but we can't let Chen'er be someone else's child -----"
Xu Lian was quite vague at the front, what did the remarriage have to do with Zhang Linyu, but after hearing it later, Xu Lian almost choked to death from his own saliva, and was scared to death by Xue Shan's words. He wants to cooperate with Zhang Linyu, should he What does it matter to marry him.Besides, how could a man like himself marry him? It's impossible to think about it (this is just Xu Lian's own idea, and others will definitely think that Xu Lian is going to marry someone like Zhang).The more you hear the back, the more outrageous it feels.Xu Lian quickly interrupted Xue Shan: "Brother, who said I'm going to remarry. How could I marry Zhang Linyu? It's obviously impossible."
"Don't remarry? If you don't remarry, why do you go to work in his shop? How could his shop let you occupy that ass? I don't care what your ass is. He gave you for nothing, not for you. The dowry, isn't it to be his elder brother and give him a housekeeper?" Lin Yue, who was at the side, cried out in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, where is this going? I just go to their store to help him manage and develop the store. I own a certain share so that I can manage the store better, so that I am like a half-owner. , and there are dividends every month, so that I can earn more money-----" Speaking of these, Xu Lian seemed to be a different person, and he shared the benefits of the shareholding system he knew before and the benefits of doing so to himself. He told the two of them about his advantages, and he also told them about his future plans, and he was stunned by Xue Shanlinyue and his wife who were next to him, but they didn't understand half of what they heard.
In the end, Lin Yue came out and concluded: "I don't care what you said, I don't know if what you said is true, but I still disagree with where you go to work?"
Xu Lian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and in the end he only uttered four words, "Why?"
"Think about your brother, working in a place where people and snakes are mixed, you are not afraid of any danger? Besides, you said that there is a brother who went out to be a businessman, look at the current brother That one doesn't stay at home peacefully, who would go out to do business? Besides, you and the boss of Xiangmanlou are not related, but if you go to work there, what will others say when they see it? At that time, you are not afraid of people making irresponsible remarks. If you want to remarry and marry that boss, your elder brother and I have no objection, but if you don’t want to remarry, we will not allow you to go into business. If there is something in the field If you can’t finish it, Dashan and I can help you, so there’s no need for you to go there.” Lin Yue didn’t fully understand the benefits Xu Lian said, is he just a brother from the countryside? It makes sense, but I know the difficulties of doing business, and some bad words will come out when a brother goes into business, let alone Xu Lian, a widowed brother.
After talking for so long, Xu Lian suddenly came to his senses. The reason why the two of them disagreed with him going out to work was because he was a brother? !The elder brother here is the former woman, who wants to stay at home to have children and deal with pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.No --- No way, Xu Lian glanced at Xue Chen who was playing outside, thinking that this child jumped out of his belly, Xu Lian immediately shook his head and said silently in his heart, I am Man, I'm a man----After reading the N side, Xu Liancai looked up and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, I don't care about these things, and I feel that I am able to handle that.”
Xue Shan and Lin Yue still disagreed a little. What Ren Xulian said, they thought it was not good for a brother to go out to do business like this. In the end, Xu Lian had no choice but to think of a selective method. He hid behind and manipulated the operation of the inn. Let other people take care of the store, even if you have to take care of some things yourself, you will cover it up well, and try not to let you find out that you are a brother.
In the end, he said that he had signed an agreement with Zhang Linyu, and if he did not agree, he would go to jail, and he promised that he would not lose his job in the field, so the two reluctantly agreed.
Although Xu Lian knew that he didn't need them to agree to work in Xiangmanlou. The approval of the two, and knowing that they did this for their own benefit, that's why they have been persuading them to accept their decision.
After hearing the two agreed, Xu Lian was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, but his grinning mouth showed his good mood.After bidding farewell to Xue Shan's family, he took Xue Chen home excitedly, preparing to plan carefully what he would do to develop the inn quickly.
A few days later, Xu Lai excitedly ran to Xiangmanlou with the proposal written by himself.
Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu made an appointment a few days ago to discuss matters related to the renovation of the inn.So when Xu Lian entered the inn, he found Zhang Linyu sitting alone in the lobby drinking tea. Nowadays, the business in the inn is still not good. Come to help manage the inn, these little girls are almost gone.
There was no one in the lobby, so Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu still went to a cubicle to discuss issues together, but this time Zhang Linyu probably thought of something, not only the two of them in the cubicle this time, but also the youngest one, according to Zhang Linyu Introduce this person as a servant of his family, named Fumo, who has been in charge of taking care of him and his Ahmo before.
Xu Lian glanced at the youngest, rolled his eyes a few times and didn't know what he was thinking.
Later, Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu discussed it, and finally decided that the business in the inn is not very good, so they might close it for a while, redecorate some places in the store, and the menu in the store also needs to be adjusted, Xu Lian looked at it After adding it, some home-cooked dishes that I can make, and some special dishes are also listed. I listed the flower tea, flower cake and food that can be made from flower petals. At first, Zhang Linyu Both the youngest and the youngest are curious about whether these flowers can be eaten, and eating them will have bad effects on people.Xu Lian just glanced at them, knowing that they would ask a question, he took out the flower cake and flower tea he had prepared earlier, asked them to taste it, and ate some to show that it was not poisonous.Seeing the expressions on their faces after eating, Xu Lian knew that his method was feasible.In this regard, Xu Lian also said that he will bring some fresh recipes to attract customers in the future.
In addition, Xu Lian also proposed several publicity methods. These methods were bad tricks used by those companies in the previous life. Xu Lian used them unceremoniously. Zhang Linyu sounded quite novel. A certain amount of doubt arises.But in the end they were all dismissed by Xu Lian.
The three of them discussed together for a long time. In fact, Xu Lian was mostly talking about things, Zhang Linyu expressed novelty, and Fumomo occasionally inserted a few words of doubt.All in all, the three of them had a pleasant discussion.
In the end, Xu Lian said that he may not be able to manage the store here every day, except that he will be in the store for the first month or so, and he may come to the store every time he goes to the market in the future.In this way, I will cultivate a shopkeeper who can be suppressed in the store. Obviously such a person is not suitable for Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu, so Xu Lian asked Fu Momo next to him if he would like to take this task.
Fu Mo thought about it, thinking that it would not be good to do this by himself, and he might not be able to suppress the people below, so he introduced another person to Xu Lian, who was an older person in the store who was in charge of purchasing in the store. The person who said that this person was mentioned by Zhang Linyu's Ah Mo before is honest and can be used.
Xu Lian thought about it for a while, and asked him to come up. After looking at it, he thought it was okay, so he decided with Zhang Linyu to let that person be the temporary shopkeeper. One of them hid behind to manipulate, and the other read his book at ease up.
After the arrangements were made, Xu Lian began to work intensively on preparations. One month later, the inn began to operate normally. In the next few years, the inn will also slowly embark on its prosperous road, and it can be seen in many places. I heard the name of the shop Xiangmanlou.
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I haven't updated it in the past few days, and I will try my best to update it in the next few days.

14. Four years of development...
Four years passed slowly while Xu Lian was busy. These four years were busy and fulfilling.At the beginning, Xiangmanlou reappeared in front of everyone with a brand new look after one month of closure.Because a series of novel changes in Xiangmanlou were reported shortly after the closure, so when Xiangmanlou opened again, many people went to patronize with curiosity. As soon as they entered the door, they found several uniformed clothes Xiaoer greeted them at the door with a similar and friendly smile, welcomed them to an empty seat, and handed them a menu called a menu, which contained corresponding dish names and pictures, so that every customer could see clearly. Very novel.After ordering a few dishes, many customers were captivated by the delicacies in the store as soon as they tasted the results, especially the special pastries and pastries such as hibiscus cake, jade cake, jasmine tea and winter jasmine tea in the store. There are also many novel fruit and vegetable dishes for refreshments, such as stewed yam, ginkgo vegetable soup, tremella almond apple soup, etc., which have been loved by many people and have attracted countless repeat customers.
Moreover, Xiangmanlou will launch its own special dishes, special pastries or special teas every month in the coming time, and in some special festivals, it will also launch a series of discounts.As for the corresponding notice, Xiangmanlou will post a notice at the door a few days in advance, or invite some beggars to help promote it, so as to attract more customers.
Xiangmanlou's business is getting better and better, but not many people know about the person who made the plan. Except for a few senior employees in the store, everyone only knows that the owner of the store is a scholar named Zhang Linyu.For a while, the idea that reading can lead a better business life appeared in the minds of many people, and now more people are sending their children to school.
Except for Xu Lian's management of Xiangmanlou, his family's land has not been abandoned, because Xue Shan and Lin Yue, who were born as farmers, think that as a villager, they can't throw away all the work in the field. To leave some land, so when Xu Lian was promised to intervene in Xiangmanlou, he was also asked to do so.In the past few years, except that Xu Lian occasionally went to Xiangmanlou to see the situation in the store and spent some time thinking about the dishes in the store, he was busy working in the rest of the time.Now he has become more and more proficient in the work in the field. It was quite difficult for one person to do the work on the original few acres of land. After the manure is decomposed, it is used in the field to add fertilizer to the field; the original crops in the field are either dried and burned into plant ash, or directly let them rot in the field to increase the fertility of the land; Intercropping, intercropping, etc. increase the utilization rate of the land---these methods seem to be somewhat effective, at least the yield in the field has increased a lot. . The increase in production in the field and the improvement of the business in the store allowed Xu Lian to earn a lot of money, which greatly changed the lives of Xu Lian and Xue Chen.Of course, he made money by himself, and Xu Lian didn't forget other people, such as Xue Shan.Now Xu Lian has to be busy with the work in the field and worry about Xiangmanlou. As for the chickens and ducks at home, Xu Lian still doesn't take good care of them, so Xu Lian wants to manage the chickens and ducks with Lin Yue.He told Lin Yue about the methods of raising some chickens and ducks he had seen in his previous life. The two of them worked hard together for this "chicken lays eggs, eggs lay chickens" plan. So far, the two have raised There are nearly a hundred chickens and ducks, and the daily egg production is also objective.Xu Lian sold these eggs to Xiangmanlou and made them into various foods.As for chickens and ducks, Xu Lian also regularly sends them to Xiangmanlou.As for the reason why it was sold to Xiangmanlou, Xu Lian said, anyway, this store is not all mine.So Xu Lian was very happy to sell all kinds of products of his family and Xue Shan's family to Xiangmanlou, and his family made a lot of money.
In addition, Xu Lian, who had enjoyed it in the original world, still can't bear some of the crude equipment in his home, such as latrines, stoves, etc., so after the family had money, Xu Lian began to prepare to renovate his home. First of all, the original old house was re-consolidated and new ones were added, repairs that needed to be repaired, and reconstructions that needed to be rebuilt. The village name was invited to replace the original thatch with tiles on the roof, so that we don’t have to worry about rainy and windy days. The bed in the house was also made into a kang. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. Xu Lian, who was afraid of the cold, couldn't bear to sleep on a cold bed in winter, so he asked the villagers to help him build a kang so that he could live comfortably in winter. Don't be afraid.The walls in the room were also repainted with lime.In the kitchen, Xu Lian adopted some features of his previous kitchen and remodeled it, and asked a carpenter to help him make a blowing bellows, so that the flames can be accelerated without manual blowing inward.The toilet Xu Lian basically adopts a modern model. He and Xue Shan made a ceramic toilet together, and then used some pipes to discharge the feces, and dug a big pit far away from the house. The feces are decomposed there so that they can be used in the field. .
The two designed by Xu Lian are very popular in the village, and you often come to their house to see these two rare items.When I went back, I asked someone to press one at home. For a while, the business of carpenters and pottery makers in the village increased a lot.
In addition, now that Chen'er is getting older, it is no longer suitable for her to sleep with Xu Lian, so Xu Lian still wants to build a few more rooms, so that Chen'er can have a separate room for herself, and if the family comes No guest, there is a good place to live.Facts have proved that it is a wise thing for Xu Lian to build a few more rooms now.
But when Chen'er grew up, another worry bothered Xu Lian.When Chen'er was six years old, Lin Yue began to whisper in Xu Lian's ear, asking Chen'er to learn more about what to do, often teaching him how to do needlework, and asking him to pay attention to the boys in the village to see what he liked. which.And he himself helped to watch it together. When Xu Lian heard that Lin Yue said that he could meet Chen'er, Xu Lian said that he was frightened at the time. A child as young as six years old can find a husband or wife.Although I know that early marriage and early childbearing are necessary in this world, it is too early to start at the age of six.Xu Lian said it was difficult to accept this, and the difficulty of accepting it meant that Xu Lian had indulged Chen'er emotionally. As a result, Lin Ming, who had picked flowers with him at the beginning, quickly got Xue Chen's attention.I'm afraid that by the time Xu Lian finds out, the two of them will almost decide for life.After all, in Xu Lian's mind, what do children of this age know, but the children here start to notice the opposite sex very early. .
But generally speaking, Xu Lian's life in the past four years has been pretty good.
The author has something to say: Calvin is gone.There are not many words in this chapter, please forgive me, it may be revised in the future, but the next chapter is about to come out

15. Come back...
Not far from Shanhe Town, there are green mountains and green waters, reflecting the town's name "Shanhe".It was almost noon, and there were few people on the official road between the mountain and the river, and it was only for a long time that I saw such a person.Only the bugs in the grass by the roadside are constantly singing the movement of life.
Suddenly a burst of dust flew up amidst the noisy sound of horseshoes, and even the sound of insects around was covered by the sound of horseshoes.It wasn't until the figure of the horse disappeared into the woods again that the dust slowly and gently fell back to the ground under the sunlight.The sound of insects still lingered in my ears, and everything returned to its original state. If it weren't for the four rows of horseshoe prints left on the ground, no one would have noticed that two horses passed by just now.
Outside the city gate of Shanhe Town.
"Woo----" The man on the horse skillfully tightened the rein in his hand, and the horse under him stopped quickly.The man on the horse looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar city gate in front of him. It has been 11 years, and I finally came back again. Thinking about how 11 years ago, I left this door with many people who joined the army under the eyes of my elder brother and sister-in-law. At that time, I was so afraid that I would just leave. If you don't return, you will stay on that battlefield forever, and now you have finally returned safely, with a lot of military achievements.But brother, sister-in-law, are you all okay? ------And Alian, how are you doing now?Are you still waiting for me?Then he denied it like a mockery: "It's been so many years, you should remarry, right?" Remembering that the six-year-old, shy child was introduced into the house by his aunt, and he fell in love with him at the first glance, and immediately fell in love with him. Ah Mo, who was pestering him, said that he wanted him to be his brother in the future, but Ah Mo refused to agree, so she hugged him and refused to let go. The scene at that time made him feel funny now.
"General?" The man behind hurried forward, stopped the horse, and landed on the left rear of the man in front, and called out softly, interrupting the man's contemplation. At the same time, he was also wondering why the general stopped here suddenly. up.
"Let's go, let's go to the town and have lunch before leaving." The man called the general put away his smile just now and said without looking back.
"Yes." The people behind followed without hesitation, but there was a trace of doubt in their eyes.Isn't the general in a hurry to rush home?Ever since he received the warrant to send him to Shanhe Town, the general has been rushing towards this place called Shanhe Town without stopping for a moment, but it seems that the general's family lives in a small village near Shanhe Town.But now that home is nearby, why doesn't the general rush back, but wants to have lunch here?If it was because of hunger, he would not believe it if he was killed. He has been with the general for four years, but he has never seen the general eat so punctually.Couldn't it be because of the "feeling close to home"?Xiao Jie (the one behind the general) thought suspiciously, but was soon frightened by his own thoughts.
Needless to say, this general is Xue Feng who has been away from home for more than ten years. Now he is no longer the boy who only knows how to farm and hunt. Now he is the general who climbed out of the dead on the battlefield and made many military exploits. up.The slightly childish face at the beginning has been ground into the current sharp-edged handsome face with a kind of sharpness unique to soldiers, which made Xue Feng, who was looking in the mirror, worry that Xu Lian would not recognize him.
This time, after receiving the warrant, he was assigned to Shanhe Town, which made Xue Feng happy for a long time.It was too late to wait for the others to set off together, so I packed up some change of clothes and set off with my entourage.He hurried over all the way, but now that he is back in the town, he will be able to go home in less than an hour.But Xue Feng stopped his steps, and when he reached the door of the house, Xue Feng suddenly became timid.In the past 11 years, I haven't given any news about myself to my family. Do they think that they have died in battle?Their appearance has changed a lot over the years, do they still know themselves?Also, is Alian still guarding himself and his family or has he remarried? ------ These thoughts popped up in Xue Feng's mind from time to time, so he had to calm down and think about it.
When I came to the town, the town is more prosperous than it was 11 years ago. Some of the shops on both sides of the street are newly opened, which I have never seen before, and there are also some old shops. Now the business is good. There are people coming and going.However, this street looks like it has just been renovated, and the stone slabs on the street seem to have just been laid, making it look much neater.
Not long after entering the town, Xiao Jie inquired from a peddler that the original Xiangmanlou in the town has been renovated by the current boss in the past few years. The business is better than before, and there are many fresh food in it. , worth a try.As soon as Xiao Jie heard it, he immediately went back to tell Xue Feng, and led the way to the store quickly.These few days of rushing, although he is not a burden for him who is a soldier, but he who is a foodie will never let it go when he hears that there is something good to eat.Now that there is no need to fight, Xiao Jie's biggest goal is to find a brother who can cook and get married.
In Xiangmanlou, the city gate where they entered was not far away, and both of them were riding horses, so they arrived at Xiangmanlou soon.
As soon as they entered the store, a waiter came over with a friendly smile and asked them with a smile: "
When he was free, he went to the mountains or around the village to find various medicinal materials or food that could be sold for money. In this year, he really found a lot of good things one after another. Some common medicines learned by the old doctor in the village or several herbs that Xu Qiang knew when playing magic cards in QQ, and he also discovered some more precious medicinal materials.Xu Lian kept some commonly used medicines for his own spare, and sold them to the old doctor in the village or the pharmacy in the town.
In terms of food, Xu Lian found a lot of fruits, such as mulberry, loquat, hawthorn, kiwi, pomegranate, etc., as well as a lot of wild vegetables, including Chinese toon, mustard greens, bitter gourd, shepherd's purse, purslane, etc. What made Xu Lian happy was that he found the lotus in a mountain depression. It was the season when the lotus was in full bloom. Xu Lian happily picked lotus, lotus pods, lotus roots, and lotus leaves, and he swept away all the edible ones. And pass.Xu Lian will not let go of some edible flowers that he usually sees. Basically, he will move them home to dry and store them.These wild vegetables may be very valuable in modern times, but no one would buy them at this time, so Xu Lian had to eat them at home, or give some to Xue Shan's family.
In addition, Xu Lian also changed his habit of wanting to buy things when he got the money, and started to save as much money as possible. He stopped buying some things that were not very useful, and used other necessities that could be replaced by other cheap items. , Also choose cheap things.
But regarding Xue Chen's three meals and nutrition, Xu Lian dared not relax at all times, fearing that he would not grow well in the future.So some meat and eggs often appear on the table, and the most common one is probably meat and bone soup, which is calcium-supplementing and nutritious, and the price is low, isn’t it?
This day was Xue Chen's birthday, Xu Lian took Xue Chen to the town to do some shopping while Xue Chen didn't need to go to class, and took him out to have fun.After shopping, it was almost noon, and Xue Chen shouted that he was hungry, so Xu Lian took him to a small inn called "Xiangmanlou" next to the market for dinner.This inn is run by an old lady, who is kind and friendly, and the price of the things she sells is fair, and the taste is also good. Many people in Xu Lian Village prefer to eat at his place.
As soon as he entered the door, Xu Lian found that there were a lot fewer people eating today than in the past. The lobby was basically full of people at this time when he came a few times before, but today the entire lobby only had four or five people sitting in twos and threes. There is also some dissatisfaction on the face.Besides, the old youngest didn't seem to be there, and those juniors were also weak in their work.
Although Xu Lian was strange, he didn't pay much attention to it. He and Xue Chen entered the door and found a seat by the window and sat down. A waiter saw a guest coming in, so he came over actively. After Xu Lian ordered a few dishes, he Sitting there with Xue Chen and waiting for the food to be served.But Xu Lian and Xue Chen sat for a long time and no one brought the food, which made Xu Lian very angry.
The angry Xu Lian was about to get up to discuss with the shopkeeper when he heard two little girls talking over there.
Xiao Erjia: "Hey, how can you say that the shopkeeper just left? The shopkeeper is not good at doing business at all. Since he took over this shop, the business in the shop has deteriorated a lot! It doesn't even look like that. What kind of guests. We don't even have the energy to do it."
Little Eryi: "Yeah, when the shopkeeper was here, everything was done in a stable manner. Now ------ well, it's either gone like this, or gone like that, and the little shopkeeper and The guests have conflicts, what is this called?"
Xiao Erjia: "Yes, this little shopkeeper is a scholar. It's okay to let him read and write, but it's difficult to let him do these things!"
Xiao Eryi: "Otherwise, why do some people say 'you are a scholar if you are useless'? Hey, do you think this store can continue to operate?"
Little Erjia: "I see, Xuan!"
Xiao Eryi: "Then should we find another store? I don't want to get paid in the future. It would be great if the shopkeeper could find someone who can manage the store!"
-----------
Xu Lian didn't listen any more. Xu Lian was delighted when he heard this. For more than a year, Xu Lian knew that he was half-knowledgeable about farming. Even if he had the confidence to grow the land better than others, he I have one person, and there is Xue Chen to take care of at home, so I really can't plant much land.After realizing this point, Xu Lian began to save money desperately, thinking of opening a small restaurant by himself, so that the money would come in quickly, but he hadn't saved much money for nearly a year, at least to open a decent small restaurant. I don't know how long ago, Xu Lian set his mind on cooperating with others, but in this era, people won't cooperate with you casually because they are neither relatives nor relatives.
Today's conversation between these two mistresses made Xu Lian think of a way, which is to find a way to cooperate with the owner of this store.Hearing what the two mistresses mean, the owner of this store is a scholar, and he is not good at managing restaurants. Maybe I can cooperate with this boss and help him manage the restaurant, but the premise is that I have to own a certain share of this store. In this way, I also have the right to speak in this store, don't I?
If you can, you can talk to the boss first.Action is not as good as heartbeat, after Xu Lian had dinner with Xue Chen, and when Xue Chen was full, he took Xue Chen and the waiter in the store to ask to see their shopkeeper, making the waiter think that they were sorry for the shopkeeper. If there is something dissatisfied with the meal, I want to complain to the shopkeeper, and apologize to him quickly, and also hint that talking to the shopkeeper may still not be able to solve it.
Xu Lian knew that they were doing it for his own good, so he smiled and told them that he wanted to do business with the shopkeeper, not for anything else.
After talking about the little girl, I was still a little worried, but after all, I helped him to call the shopkeeper.
Not long after, the waiter came back and said that the shopkeeper invited him to talk in the cubicle upstairs.Xu Lian readily agreed, and led Xue Chen upstairs with Xiaoer.
This little shopkeeper said that he is not young, and he is about 20 years old. In Xu Lian's original world, the 20-year-old guy probably still has acne and is crazy in college, but the 20-year-old boy in this era may be The fathers or aunts of several children are gone.Well, he was quite fair and clean, with weak writing, and was a little different from the people he met in the village.Maybe it's because I usually stay in the house and rarely come out to bask in the sun.
"I heard from the third son that you want to discuss business with me?" Zhang Linyu asked as soon as he entered the room, with a hint of impatience on his face.
Little three?It's the little girl just now, why is this name so good, the name of the eunuch I heard on TV before,
However, Xu Lian quickly put these random thoughts behind him, cheered up and said, "Yes, shopkeeper, I want to cooperate with you."
"Cooperation? How do you say it?" Zhang Linyu was confused and didn't understand what Xu Lian meant by cooperation.
"Cooperation, to put it simply, means that I will help you manage this inn. All the affairs can be handed over to me, but you want to give me a part of the shares in this inn?" Xu Lian simply explained his intention.But just after he finished speaking, Xu Lian couldn't help but wonder why he used the modern word "share" in his head.
"Shares? What is that? I've never heard of it before." Zhang Linyu asked even more strangely.
"Shares, shares are the ownership of this store, which means that in the future, this store will be shared by me and you, not your family." Xu Lian explained.
As soon as Zhang Linyu heard that his store would be lost, he immediately objected: "That's no good, this store was passed down from my ancestors, how can I just give it to you like this."
"You don't mean that this store is given to me, but that we share it, and you can take up half of the shares, so that you have the highest right to speak in this store, and I own part of the shares, and I will also own A certain right to speak, so that I can manage this store more attentively, and I believe the guys below will listen to me more. If, in the future, there are some different opinions from our management of this store, we can also take it Come to discuss, instead of me listening to you blindly. And you don't have to worry that I will take your inn, if I want to leave, I will return the equity of this store to you. ------ --" Xu Lianlu talked a lot about the advantages of owning a certain amount of shares, and the disadvantages of not having shares, making Zhang Linyu, who doesn't understand business at all, dizzy, and finally didn't know why He also agreed to give Xu Lian 40% of the shares and let him manage the inn.Before he could react, Xu Lian was about to sign an agreement with him.
After receiving the agreement notarized in the yamen, Xu Lian smiled from ear to ear.Although he knew it was unkind to do so, he believed that he would not let Zhang Linyu suffer.And this is also the first step towards business and a well-off life.
After doing this, Xu Lian put the agreement in his arms properly, told Zhang Linyu that he would go back to the inn in a few days, and took Xue Chen back with a smile.
On the way back, Xu Lian, who was smiling at first, saw Xue Chen whom he was leading, and felt that he seemed to have forgotten something today. He suddenly slapped his head and scolded himself for forgetting Chen’er’s birthday, and was busy shopping in the morning. After being so busy with Zhang Linyu in the afternoon, I forgot to take Xue Chen to play.
Thinking of this problem, Xu Lian immediately apologized to Xue Chen, and promised to cook him delicious longevity noodles after returning home.
13
13. Against...
The next day, Xu Lian went to Xue Shan's home and happily announced that he was going to work in "Xiangmanlou", and he still owned 40% of the shares in Xiangmanlou. Of course, Xu Lian also explained by the way that the shares What means.
Just as Xu Lian was triumphantly waiting for Xue Shan and Lin Yue's compliment, he found that the expressions on the faces of the two opposite people were not happiness, but worry and displeasure, but they also seemed to be a little happy.
The smile on Xu Lian's face immediately froze, and hesitantly asked the two of them: "Brother, sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Xue Shan and Lin Yue looked at each other, and finally Xue Shan asked, "Alian, are you going to remarry?"
Xu Lian felt that he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he hear the word "remarry" on him? ), not to mention remarrying.Hallucinations, definitely hallucinations.
"Well, brother, I didn't hear what you said just now, can you please repeat it?" Xu Lian who was nervous did not notice that he had used the honorific speech just now.
"A-Lian, I want to ask if you want to remarry the little boss of the inn. I have met that little boss before. He is a learned man. If you marry him, you should not suffer any more. For Afeng After so many years, you still take care of Chen'er with all your heart. Now we don't know whether Ah Feng is alive or dead. We have no reason to ask you to keep guarding this house. And when Ah Feng left, we told me that if you Find someone who can take care of you, let us decide to marry you off, and don't delay your life. However, Alian, I hope you can keep Chen'er. He is Afeng's only child. Although our family is not as good as That little boss, but we can't let Chen'er be someone else's child -----"
Xu Lian was quite vague at the front, what did the remarriage have to do with Zhang Linyu, but after hearing it later, Xu Lian almost choked to death from his own saliva, and was scared to death by Xue Shan's words. He wants to cooperate with Zhang Linyu, should he What does it matter to marry him.Besides, how could a man like himself marry him? It's impossible to think about it (this is just Xu Lian's own idea, and others will definitely think that Xu Lian is going to marry someone like Zhang).The more you hear the back, the more outrageous it feels.Xu Lian quickly interrupted Xue Shan: "Brother, who said I'm going to remarry. How could I marry Zhang Linyu? It's obviously impossible."
"Don't remarry? If you don't remarry, why do you go to work in his shop? How could his shop let you occupy that ass? I don't care what your ass is. He gave you for nothing, not for you. The dowry, isn't it to be his elder brother and give him a housekeeper?" Lin Yue, who was at the side, cried out in surprise.
"Sister-in-law, where is this going? I just go to their store to help him manage and develop the store. I own a certain share so that I can manage the store better, so that I am like a half-owner. , and there are dividends every month, so that I can earn more money-----" Speaking of these, Xu Lian seemed to be a different person, and he shared the benefits of the shareholding system he knew before and the benefits of doing so to himself. He told the two of them about his advantages, and he also told them about his future plans, and he was stunned by Xue Shanlinyue and his wife who were next to him, but they didn't understand half of what they heard.
In the end, Lin Yue came out and concluded: "I don't care what you said, I don't know if what you said is true, but I still disagree with where you go to work?"
Xu Lian opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, and in the end he only uttered four words, "Why?"
"Think about your brother, working in a place where people and snakes are mixed, you are not afraid of any danger? Besides, you said that there is a brother who went out to be a businessman, look at the current brother That one doesn't stay at home peacefully, who would go out to do business? Besides, you and the boss of Xiangmanlou are not related, but if you go to work there, what will others say when they see it? At that time, you are not afraid of people making irresponsible remarks. If you want to remarry and marry that boss, your elder brother and I have no objection, but if you don’t want to remarry, we will not allow you to go into business. If there is something in the field If you can’t finish it, Dashan and I can help you, so there’s no need for you to go there.” Lin Yue didn’t fully understand the benefits Xu Lian said, is he just a brother from the countryside? It makes sense, but I know the difficulties of doing business, and some bad words will come out when a brother goes into business, let alone Xu Lian, a widowed brother.
After talking for so long, Xu Lian suddenly came to his senses. The reason why the two of them disagreed with him going out to work was because he was a brother? !The elder brother here is the former woman, who wants to stay at home to have children and deal with pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.No --- No way, Xu Lian glanced at Xue Chen who was playing outside, thinking that this child jumped out of his belly, Xu Lian immediately shook his head and said silently in his heart, I am Man, I'm a man----After reading the N side, Xu Liancai looked up and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, I don't care about these things, and I feel that I am able to handle that.”
Xue Shan and Lin Yue still disagreed a little. What Ren Xulian said, they thought it was not good for a brother to go out to do business like this. In the end, Xu Lian had no choice but to think of a selective method. He hid behind and manipulated the operation of the inn. Let other people take care of the store, even if you have to take care of some things yourself, you will cover it up well, and try not to let you find out that you are a brother.
In the end, he said that he had signed an agreement with Zhang Linyu, and if he did not agree, he would go to jail, and he promised that he would not lose his job in the field, so the two reluctantly agreed.
Although Xu Lian knew that he didn't need them to agree to work in Xiangmanlou. The approval of the two, and knowing that they did this for their own benefit, that's why they have been persuading them to accept their decision.
After hearing the two agreed, Xu Lian was so happy that he almost didn't jump up, but his grinning mouth showed his good mood.After bidding farewell to Xue Shan's family, he took Xue Chen home excitedly, preparing to plan carefully what he would do to develop the inn quickly.
A few days later, Xu Lai excitedly ran to Xiangmanlou with the proposal written by himself.
Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu made an appointment a few days ago to discuss matters related to the renovation of the inn.So when Xu Lian entered the inn, he found Zhang Linyu sitting alone in the lobby drinking tea. Nowadays, the business in the inn is still not good. Come to help manage the inn, these little girls are almost gone.
There was no one in the lobby, so Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu still went to a cubicle to discuss issues together, but this time Zhang Linyu probably thought of something, not only the two of them in the cubicle this time, but also the youngest one, according to Zhang Linyu Introduce this person as a servant of his family, named Fumo, who has been in charge of taking care of him and his Ahmo before.
Xu Lian glanced at the youngest, rolled his eyes a few times and didn't know what he was thinking.
Later, Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu discussed it, and finally decided that the business in the inn is not very good, so they might close it for a while, redecorate some places in the store, and the menu in the store also needs to be adjusted, Xu Lian looked at it After adding it, some home-cooked dishes that I can make, and some special dishes are also listed. I listed the flower tea, flower cake and food that can be made from flower petals. At first, Zhang Linyu Both the youngest and the youngest are curious about whether these flowers can be eaten, and eating them will have bad effects on people.Xu Lian just glanced at them, knowing that they would ask a question, he took out the flower cake and flower tea he had prepared earlier, asked them to taste it, and ate some to show that it was not poisonous.Seeing the expressions on their faces after eating, Xu Lian knew that his method was feasible.In this regard, Xu Lian also said that he will bring some fresh recipes to attract customers in the future.
In addition, Xu Lian also proposed several publicity methods. These methods were bad tricks used by those companies in the previous life. Xu Lian used them unceremoniously. Zhang Linyu sounded quite novel. A certain amount of doubt arises.But in the end they were all dismissed by Xu Lian.
The three of them discussed together for a long time. In fact, Xu Lian was mostly talking about things, Zhang Linyu expressed novelty, and Fumomo occasionally inserted a few words of doubt.All in all, the three of them had a pleasant discussion.
In the end, Xu Lian said that he may not be able to manage the store here every day, except that he will be in the store for the first month or so, and he may come to the store every time he goes to the market in the future.In this way, I will cultivate a shopkeeper who can be suppressed in the store. Obviously such a person is not suitable for Xu Lian and Zhang Linyu, so Xu Lian asked Fu Momo next to him if he would like to take this task.
Fu Mo thought about it, thinking that it would not be good to do this by himself, and he might not be able to suppress the people below, so he introduced another person to Xu Lian, who was an older person in the store who was in charge of purchasing in the store. The person who said that this person was mentioned by Zhang Linyu's Ah Mo before is honest and can be used.
Xu Lian thought about it for a while, and asked him to come up. After looking at it, he thought it was okay, so he decided with Zhang Linyu to let that person be the temporary shopkeeper. One of them hid behind to manipulate, and the other read his book at ease up.
After the arrangements were made, Xu Lian began to work intensively on preparations. One month later, the inn began to operate normally. In the next few years, the inn will also slowly embark on its prosperous road, and it can be seen in many places. I heard the name of the shop Xiangmanlou.
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I haven't updated it in the past few days, and I will try my best to update it in the next few days.
14
14. Four years of development...
Four years passed slowly while Xu Lian was busy. These four years were busy and fulfilling.At the beginning, Xiangmanlou reappeared in front of everyone with a brand new look after one month of closure.Because a series of novel changes in Xiangmanlou were reported shortly after the closure, so when Xiangmanlou opened again, many people went to patronize with curiosity. As soon as they entered the door, they found several uniformed clothes Xiaoer greeted them at the door with a similar and friendly smile, welcomed them to an empty seat, and handed them a menu called a menu, which contained corresponding dish names and pictures, so that every customer could see clearly. Very novel.After ordering a few dishes, many customers were captivated by the delicacies in the store as soon as they tasted the results, especially the special pastries and pastries such as hibiscus cake, jade cake, jasmine tea and winter jasmine tea in the store. There are also many novel fruit and vegetable dishes for refreshments, such as stewed yam, ginkgo vegetable soup, tremella almond apple soup, etc., which have been loved by many people and have attracted countless repeat customers.
Moreover, Xiangmanlou will launch its own special dishes, special pastries or special teas every month in the coming time, and in some special festivals, it will also launch a series of discounts.As for the corresponding notice, Xiangmanlou will post a notice at the door a few days in advance, or invite some beggars to help promote it, so as to attract more customers.
Xiangmanlou's business is getting better and better, but not many people know about the person who made the plan. Except for a few senior employees in the store, everyone only knows that the owner of the store is a scholar named Zhang Linyu.For a while, the idea that reading can lead a better business life appeared in the minds of many people, and now more people are sending their children to school.
Except for Xu Lian's management of Xiangmanlou, his family's land has not been abandoned, because Xue Shan and Lin Yue, who were born as farmers, think that as a villager, they can't throw away all the work in the field. To leave some land, so when Xu Lian was promised to intervene in Xiangmanlou, he was also asked to do so.In the past few years, except that Xu Lian occasionally went to Xiangmanlou to see the situation in the store and spent some time thinking about the dishes in the store, he was busy working in the rest of the time.Now he has become more and more proficient in the work in the field. It was quite difficult for one person to do the work on the original few acres of land. After the manure is decomposed, it is used in the field to add fertilizer to the field; the original crops in the field are either dried and burned into plant ash, or directly let them rot in the field to increase the fertility of the land; Intercropping, intercropping, etc. increase the utilization rate of the land---these methods seem to be somewhat effective, at least the yield in the field has increased a lot. . The increase in production in the field and the improvement of the business in the store allowed Xu Lian to earn a lot of money, which greatly changed the lives of Xu Lian and Xue Chen.Of course, he made money by himself, and Xu Lian didn't forget other people, such as Xue Shan.Now Xu Lian has to be busy with the work in the field and worry about Xiangmanlou. As for the chickens and ducks at home, Xu Lian still doesn't take good care of them, so Xu Lian wants to manage the chickens and ducks with Lin Yue.He told Lin Yue about the methods of raising some chickens and ducks he had seen in his previous life. The two of them worked hard together for this "chicken lays eggs, eggs lay chickens" plan. So far, the two have raised There are nearly a hundred chickens and ducks, and the daily egg production is also objective.Xu Lian sold these eggs to Xiangmanlou and made them into various foods.As for chickens and ducks, Xu Lian also regularly sends them to Xiangmanlou.As for the reason why it was sold to Xiangmanlou, Xu Lian said, anyway, this store is not all mine.So Xu Lian was very happy to sell all kinds of products of his family and Xue Shan's family to Xiangmanlou, and his family made a lot of money.
In addition, Xu Lian, who had enjoyed it in the original world, still can't bear some of the crude equipment in his home, such as latrines, stoves, etc., so after the family had money, Xu Lian began to prepare to renovate his home. First of all, the original old house was re-consolidated and new ones were added, repairs that needed to be repaired, and reconstructions that needed to be rebuilt. The village name was invited to replace the original thatch with tiles on the roof, so that we don’t have to worry about rainy and windy days. The bed in the house was also made into a kang. It is hot in summer and cold in winter. Xu Lian, who was afraid of the cold, couldn't bear to sleep on a cold bed in winter, so he asked the villagers to help him build a kang so that he could live comfortably in winter. Don't be afraid.The walls in the room were also repainted with lime.In the kitchen, Xu Lian adopted some features of his previous kitchen and remodeled it, and asked a carpenter to help him make a blowing bellows, so that the flames can be accelerated without manual blowing inward.The toilet Xu Lian basically adopts a modern model. He and Xue Shan made a ceramic toilet together, and then used some pipes to discharge the feces, and dug a big pit far away from the house. The feces are decomposed there so that they can be used in the field. .
The two designed by Xu Lian are very popular in the village, and you often come to their house to see these two rare items.When I went back, I asked someone to press one at home. For a while, the business of carpenters and pottery makers in the village increased a lot.
In addition, now that Chen'er is getting older, it is no longer suitable for her to sleep with Xu Lian, so Xu Lian still wants to build a few more rooms, so that Chen'er can have a separate room for herself, and if the family comes No guest, there is a good place to live.Facts have proved that it is a wise thing for Xu Lian to build a few more rooms now.
But when Chen'er grew up, another worry bothered Xu Lian.When Chen'er was six years old, Lin Yue began to whisper in Xu Lian's ear, asking Chen'er to learn more about what to do, often teaching him how to do needlework, and asking him to pay attention to the boys in the village to see what he liked. which.And he himself helped to watch it together. When Xu Lian heard that Lin Yue said that he could meet Chen'er, Xu Lian said that he was frightened at the time. A child as young as six years old can find a husband or wife.Although I know that early marriage and early childbearing are necessary in this world, it is too early to start at the age of six.Xu Lian said it was difficult to accept this, and the difficulty of accepting it meant that Xu Lian had indulged Chen'er emotionally. As a result, Lin Ming, who had picked flowers with him at the beginning, quickly got Xue Chen's attention.I'm afraid that by the time Xu Lian finds out, the two of them will almost decide for life.After all, in Xu Lian's mind, what do children of this age know, but the children here start to notice the opposite sex very early. .
But generally speaking, Xu Lian's life in the past four years has been pretty good.
The author has something to say: Calvin is gone.There are not many words in this chapter, please forgive me, it may be revised in the future, but the next chapter is about to come out

15. Come back...
Not far from Shanhe Town, there are green mountains and green waters, reflecting the town's name "Shanhe".It was almost noon, and there were few people on the official road between the mountain and the river, and it was only for a long time that I saw such a person.Only the bugs in the grass by the roadside are constantly singing the movement of life.
Suddenly a burst of dust flew up amidst the noisy sound of horseshoes, and even the sound of insects around was covered by the sound of horseshoes.It wasn't until the figure of the horse disappeared into the woods again that the dust slowly and gently fell back to the ground under the sunlight.The sound of insects still lingered in my ears, and everything returned to its original state. If it weren't for the four rows of horseshoe prints left on the ground, no one would have noticed that two horses passed by just now.
Outside the city gate of Shanhe Town.
"Woo----" The man on the horse skillfully tightened the rein in his hand, and the horse under him stopped quickly.The man on the horse looked up at the familiar yet unfamiliar city gate in front of him. It has been 11 years, and I finally came back again. Thinking about how 11 years ago, I left this door with many people who joined the army under the eyes of my elder brother and sister-in-law. At that time, I was so afraid that I would just leave. If you don't return, you will stay on that battlefield forever, and now you have finally returned safely, with a lot of military achievements.But brother, sister-in-law, are you all okay? ------And Alian, how are you doing now?Are you still waiting for me?Then he denied it like a mockery: "It's been so many years, you should remarry, right?" Remembering that the six-year-old, shy child was introduced into the house by his aunt, and he fell in love with him at the first glance, and immediately fell in love with him. Ah Mo, who was pestering him, said that he wanted him to be his brother in the future, but Ah Mo refused to agree, so she hugged him and refused to let go. The scene at that time made him feel funny now.
"General?" The man behind hurried forward, stopped the horse, and landed on the left rear of the man in front, and called out softly, interrupting the man's contemplation. At the same time, he was also wondering why the general stopped here suddenly. up.
"Let's go, let's go to the town and have lunch before leaving." The man called the general put away his smile just now and said without looking back.
"Yes." The people behind followed without hesitation, but there was a trace of doubt in their eyes.Isn't the general in a hurry to rush home?Ever since he received the warrant to send him to Shanhe Town, the general has been rushing towards this place called Shanhe Town without stopping for a moment, but it seems that the general's family lives in a small village near Shanhe Town.But now that home is nearby, why doesn't the general rush back, but wants to have lunch here?If it was because of hunger, he would not believe it if he was killed. He has been with the general for four years, but he has never seen the general eat so punctually.Couldn't it be because of the "feeling close to home"?Xiao Jie (the one behind the general) thought suspiciously, but was soon frightened by his own thoughts.
Needless to say, this general is Xue Feng who has been away from home for more than ten years. Now he is no longer the boy who only knows how to farm and hunt. Now he is the general who climbed out of the dead on the battlefield and made many military exploits. up.The slightly childish face at the beginning has been ground into the current sharp-edged handsome face with a kind of sharpness unique to soldiers, which made Xue Feng, who was looking in the mirror, worry that Xu Lian would not recognize him.
This time, after receiving the warrant, he was assigned to Shanhe Town, which made Xue Feng happy for a long time.It was too late to wait for the others to set off together, so I packed up some change of clothes and set off with my entourage.He hurried over all the way, but now that he is back in the town, he will be able to go home in less than an hour.But Xue Feng stopped his steps, and when he reached the door of the house, Xue Feng suddenly became timid.In the past 11 years, I haven't given any news about myself to my family.
