continuation [farming]

Xia He was inexplicably brought to Li's house and stayed for one night. The yard he stayed in was still well cleaned. Except for the corn field in the yard, everything seemed as if he hadn't left.After reading the novel, he saw that he slept soundly that night, and when he opened his eyes the next morning, he saw that it was already dawn.Jin Bao sat next to Mrs. Li, and Mrs. Li greeted him to eat with a smile. It had been a long time since he had eaten anything made by Aunt Lin. Xia He was still thinking about it, and looked around, but he didn't see where Li Mu was.After thinking about it, it's still more important to eat, so let's ask after eating.

Just finished eating, Xia He suddenly remembered something, turned around to look through the package that Li Mu brought back yesterday, ordered a little, and there were a lot of things missing, because Xia He once said that he wanted to bring Zhang Eleven and Lanniang's.

I thought in my heart, probably Li Mu was not at home this early in the morning, so I helped him bring things home.

Since it was Li Mu who took it away, Xia He didn't worry about it, and took out the dim sum that was left here, without any sense of being a guest, ran to Li's kitchen, took a few dishes, and imitated those restaurants in Qingyang, Arrange the snacks one by one on the plate neatly and beautifully.After placing them, Xia He was satisfied, and then brought the dim sum to Mrs. Li and Jin Bao.

Mrs. Li had seen Xia He's skills in carrying dishes, but Jin Bao didn't remember it at that time, when he first saw Xia He carrying five dishes in one breath, his eyes were wide open.

"This is the dim sum that Brother Mu and I bought. It's delicious. Take it home for the old lady and my parents to try." Xia He said yes.

Mrs. Li said "Okay" twice, "It's hard for you two, you still remember to miss home when you are away from home." After saying this, she said, "The old woman is getting old and her teeth are not good. He, you can eat." How could she not know that her son is not greedy for appetite, and Xia He is the one who loves snacks.

Little Jinbao was not at all like Li Mu when it came to eating, but was as greedy as Xia He.He has big eyes and a small appetite. When he saw this delicious snack, he felt that he could stuff it into his stomach, but he burped when he opened his mouth.Seeing Jinbao hiccupping and stretching out his hand, Mrs. Li quickly stopped him and said, "My dear grandson Jinbao, you have eaten enough this morning, isn't your stomach bloated? How can you eat this?"

Jin Bao then complained about Xia He, puffing out his mouth and complaining: "Auntie is bad, don't give it to Jin Bao sooner."

Xia He leaned in front of Jin Bao with a smile, and nodded his little nose: "Who told you that little Jin Bao ate an extra bowl of porridge just now?"

Jin Bao thought for a while, and said: "Jin Bao, eat less at noon, and only eat half a bowl of dry rice." He was talking about his own small bowl, then looked at the dim sum, caught a piece of small fish, and said, "This, let's Eat three yuan!"

Xia He reckoned that the dim sum in his hand was not big, so he agreed: "Okay, it's all from Jin Bao!"

Turning around, he asked Mrs. Li, "Old lady, where is Brother Mu? Have you gone to town?"

"I asked him to go to the academy to announce the good news to your house. I wanted to call you up, but he said that you slept soundly, so he told you to sleep first and not go back in a hurry." Mrs. Li said yes.

Xia He scratched her head and smiled.It's all because I overslept, it's really strange, he's not a sleepy person, why did he sleep so deeply yesterday, and when he woke up today, the old lady woke up?

Xia He thought he had traveled all the way, he was too tired, so he didn't think much about it, how could he know that Li Mu lit a sleeping incense in his room last night.Li Mu held the art of war borrowed from the academy in his hand, and thought that soldiers never tire of deceit. If he went to visit the Zhang family today, he might have to bear the wrath of Zhang Shiyi, and maybe he would be beaten twice. Xia He should just sleep well. .

There are classmates who have returned early from the academy, and the news that Qingjun Academy has won the first place in the provincial examination has already spread.Mr. Ling was waiting in the academy, waiting for Li Mu to come back, and beside him were other gentlemen in the academy, as well as their favorite students, so that they could ask Li Mu for advice.When Li Mu arrived, he exchanged pleasantries, and by the time he could get away, noon had passed.

Mr. Ling kept him for dinner, and Li Mu couldn't refuse.After drinking two glasses of wine, maybe it was a happy event, or maybe he planned to use the wine to exert himself, but Li Mu actually felt slightly tipsy.

Seeing the art of war he sent back, Mr. Ling asked in a low voice, taking advantage of others not paying attention, "How do you feel?"

"It's the easiest way to remonstrate directly, but it may not be the best way." Li Mu responded.

"Of course!" Mr. Ling cheerfully said, "The direct minister Yi Qingshi left a name, but it may not be successful. It all depends on whether you are a counselor or you plan to make a name for yourself."

Li Mu thought, he probably lived for others all his life.

As long as he can remember, he has been told by his family that he must rehabilitate his benefactor's family when he becomes a man and won a Jinshi.Later, Xia He came along, and he had Xia He's shadow in his heart.Then again, two things became one.

Li Mu has no high ambitions now, he doesn't want to be famous for thousands of miles, and his name lasts through the ages, but he only wants to make the Zhang family rehabilitate, and if he doesn't offend the person above him, he can survive by luck, so he will bring Xia He, and live in the village of Anle Village as its name suggests. In a peaceful and happy place, guarding the huge family business of his Li family, raising Jin Bao, and living a good life.If you are even more fortunate and can get a half-job, then you can be a good official. You don't need a high position and power, you just need to rule Qingping.After a few years, I will return to Anle Village with a breeze in my sleeves.

But... the most important thing right now is to ask Zhang Shixi and Lan Niang to agree to him and Xia He.

Li Mu thought to himself, bid farewell to the academy, and went to the Zhang family.

Lan Niang is half-covering the courtyard door, although she has not stopped working, she has been paying attention to the movement at the door.Counting the days, Xia He should come back no matter what.

But he never thought that when the door creaked, it was Li Mu who came in.

"Second son-in-law?" Lan Niang was startled, then looked behind Li Mu, strangely, she never saw Xia He's shadow.

She saw the expression on Li Mu's face as if a strong man cut off his wrist, and couldn't help but think the worst, Xia He, did something happen? !

Thinking of this, Lan Niang couldn't hold the small basket in her hand, the basket fell to the ground, and the bits and pieces inside rolled all over the courtyard.Lan Niang didn't care about it, and asked, "Second Young Master, where is Xia He?"

"Mother-in-law, Xia He is tired and resting at my house. I just came back from the academy, so I dropped by to bring Xia He's things for my father-in-law and mother-in-law." Li Mu said yes, and placed the small bundle in his hand on the Zhang family's table.

The stone hanging in Lan Niang's heart fell, and she breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly picked up all the spilled things.Li Mu also helped, and Lan Niang hurriedly said, "Don't bother my uncle", but Li Mu still picked up a lot.

After tidying up properly, Lan Niang brushed her hair, and said: "Oh, Xia He has caused a lot of trouble for the second son-in-law along the way, and told you to spend money." Lan Niang's money is not too much. Enough food and lodging for Xia He's journey, how can he have spare money to buy so many things?

"No." Li Mu looked around and asked, "Yue Zhang isn't at home?"

"Him? He should be back soon." Zhang Shiyi has been doing odd jobs in the town for the past two years, and there are not many things to do. Fortunately, because he can read and write, he earns a lot and the work is easy. No need to work hard.

Just as he was talking, Zhang Shiyi entered the yard with his hands behind his back.

"Grandpa?" Zhang Shiyi saw Li Mu, and his first reaction was to look around to see where Xia He was. "Xia He is playing wild. My uncle is back. He hasn't come back yet?"

There was a thud, and Li Mu knelt down in front of Lan Niang and Zhang Shiyi, neither of which was prepared.

Zhang Shixi hurriedly went to cover the door, but Lan Niang was at a loss, oops, and said: "My lord, what... are you doing?"

Li Mu made a big gift, and said: "Please forgive me, my son-in-law wants to spend this life with Xia He..."

"...What?" Zhang Shixi stared.

Li Mu raised his head.He can't be regarded as a person with a smooth tongue, and it is even more impossible to follow Xia He's statement, saying that the Zhang family's ancestral hall is no longer there, and so on. He knocked his head firmly twice to ask for forgiveness.

Seeing that Li Mu's eyes did not show any intention of joking, Zhang Shiyi was in a hurry, and he didn't care if this young man was a scholar, he might have been admitted to Juren, and he was famous, and he was still an incognito criminal. There is a world of difference, you can't beat it, if you pick up a bench, you will smash it.

Lan Niang regained her composure at this moment, and hurriedly stopped her: "Master! What are you doing?"

"What am I doing? You heard him say something stupid! But Xia He..."

"Second Young Master, I'm afraid that's not what he meant..." Lan Niang took a chance, looked anxiously, and glanced at Li Mu.

But Li Mu said: "My son-in-law is not talking nonsense, Xia He and I have made a lifelong decision..."

"My family, Xia He, is also a dignified man!" Zhang Shiyi raised his voice.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open.

"Father!" Xia He rushed in, saw Li Mu kneeling on the ground, and Zhang Shiyi, who looked like he was carrying a bench again, rushed to Li Mu's side and protected him.

"You still know to come back?" Zhang Shixi glared angrily.

"Father, I was the one who told Brother Mu that we would spend the rest of our lives with him." Xia He stopped Li Mu behind him, and directed Zhang Shixi's anger towards himself.

"Oh, Xia He, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lan Niang was about to be unable to stop Zhang Shixi, and became anxious.

Xia He pursed her lips: "Mother, I don't have one. The laws and regulations have been changed. Men can stay with men. Why can't I live with Brother Mu?"

"Laws are laws, ethics are ethics! Aren't you afraid of delaying your good brother Mu's future?" Zhang Shiyi snorted coldly and said yes.

Xia He felt a little guilty.

Li Mu patted him on the shoulder, stood up, and said to Zhang Shishi: "I'm not afraid, if I can stay with Xia He, I can lose my life."

"Brother Mu?!" Upon hearing this, Xia He turned around in a hurry.His eyes met Li Mu's expression, no matter how he looked, he couldn't see that Li Mu said this on a whim.

"How do you know that you are afraid of death at such a young age?" Zhang Shiyi frowned.

Li Mu made a big gift: "Father-in-law, that incident... was more or less ominous. I would like to go for Xia He. If I can come back alive by luck, I would like to ask my father-in-law to agree to let Xia He spend the rest of my life with me."

Zhang Shiyi frowned tightly: "Don't worry too much, my Zhang family's business will naturally be done by my Zhang family. The kindness my family has received from your family in Anle Village these years is already enough to save your father's life back then It's gone." He was eager to get rid of the relationship with the Li family, and thought in his heart, probably in Raonan Town, their family really couldn't live anymore, so they should leave early with Lan Niang and Xia He.

Seeing Xia He again, the boy has opened his eyebrows all these years, but he can only be imprisoned in a woman's attire.Zhang Shiyi sighed, seeing Xia He holding Li Mu tightly, wondering if he could take him away?

Xia He seemed to endure it for a long time, when the dispute between Li Mu and Zhang Shiyi became more obvious, he suddenly shouted: "Enough."

"Xia He?" Li Mu quickly embraced Xia He.

"Father, you promised to raise me as a daughter back then. Now that I'm 17 years old, you suddenly asked me to be a man of indomitable spirit. Have you ever thought that I can do it?" Xia He Looks like she's about to cry.

He has held back these words in his heart for a long time, but on the face of it, he has always pretended that nothing happened.Only now, he couldn't hold back anymore.

Xia He seldom cried, but this time, the corners of his eyes were terribly sore: "Father, I will find a way to resolve the grievances at home. I already have an idea. I just want to have a good time with Brother Mu after I finish that matter." However, I only have this one wish..."
