Bianshanhan [farming]

As soon as he returned to the private school, Li Qingwen felt restless as if his butt was sitting on a nail when he saw his master explaining and reading his poems and fus in the provincial examination.

This is what he and Jiang Cong dreamed about for a long time, and he wrote it down on a whim. The content is probably that he was in trouble in the forest and was helped by a beautiful woman. He never forgot it. When he saw the morning fog, he would think of that beautiful figure. The little heat will change into his appearance, day and night, and finally goodbye.

The beauty in the dream was of course Jiang Cong, and the lovesickness between the words was real. Seriously, this should be a love letter, but Li Qingwen did not expect that the content of the test paper would be published.

It made it so that the classmates all made fun of him one after another, which girl is so good that he has been unrequitedly in love till now.

Fortunately, the master didn't let him talk about his experience of creation, otherwise Li Qingwen might run away from the door.

After passing the two exams, Li Qingwen only has the final selection, which is more like the final admission interview. There is no need to attend any more classes, and there is a special teacher to teach etiquette, etc. Life is much easier than before.

As soon as Li Qingwen came back, Su Yuanbao went back to the private school to study. In the evening, after dinner, the two went to see Mao Mao together.

The shop in the outer suburbs was on the side of the main road, not far from the private school. When Li Qingwen and Su Yuanbao arrived, the others were still working.

The doors and windows of the shop in front have been fixed, and the tables, chairs and benches inside have been wiped several times.The inn behind the shop is similar, but it still needs ventilation and drying, and it will be done later.

In addition to the small yard, more than an acre of land has also been sold, and now it has been turned over and is ready to grow vegetables.

Maomao and the others watched people work in the quiet yard. After Li Qingwen arrived, they started jumping up and down.

To make something delicious for Maomao and the others, Xu Qingyuan also came. He went back to his hometown during the Chinese New Year and only arrived in the capital. He missed the banquet and gave Li Qingwen a set of the Four Treasures of the Study.

Compared with the last time, Xu Qingyuan was obviously not so afraid this time. He squatted down and looked at the big dogs intently.

Taozi recognizes people, and when she sees Xu Qingyuan, she pulls the rope and leans over, sticks out her long tongue, and shakes her raised front feet.

Seeing Tao Zi like this, the other dogs probably thought it was amusing, and raised their front paws towards Xu Qingyuan one by one, shaking non-stop.

Li Qingwen's face darkened.

Su Yuanbao ran over anxiously, holding their front paws, "What, what's wrong?"

These dogs didn't know what they shouldn't have seen, and how they were grasped by Su Yuanbao, instead they kept moaning mournfully, as if they had suffered endless grievances.

Su Yuanbao was so anxious that he turned to look at Li Qingwen, "They are sick!"

"Really?" Li Qingwen stepped forward with a blank expression, stretched out his hands to pinch Taozi's ears, twirled them around, and said, "You'd better keep shaking, or the future meals will be halved!"

This dog is not sick, it is imitating people, imitating Xu Qingyuan's trembling.

As if understanding the threat, Taozi straightened her front paws, stepped on the ground firmly, and licked Li Qingwen's hand flatteringly, implying that she begged him to raise her hand.

The other dogs seemed to have recovered from their "sickness" in an instant, and sneaked behind the other dogs, trying to hide it.

How could Li Qingwen let them go so easily and teach them a lesson one by one, punishment is of course indispensable, at least the meat money should be saved these two days.

Several dogs started to "squeak", this time they didn't moan out of illness, but they really knew they were wrong.

Xu Qingyuan also knew that Taozi and the others were imitating him, so he thought they were very smart, so he persuaded them: "They didn't do it on purpose..."

Li Qingwen: "..."

Xu Qingyuan sent a congratulatory gift but Li Qingwen hadn't invited him to dinner yet. Li Qingwen asked him when he would be free, and Xu Qingyuan knew what he was going to do, so he just said that he didn't need to be so polite.

Not only was he interested in these dogs, Xu Qingyuan also asked Li Qingwen about all kinds of border towns, and when he was obedient, he looked yearning.

Because of the training just now, Taozi and the others are very honest at this time, obediently rubbing their furry heads against Xu Qingyuan's clothes, as if apologizing.

Xu Qingyuan subconsciously shook twice, then slowly relaxed, enjoying the feeling of being surrounded by fur.

The next day, after school, Li Qingwen showed Xu Qingyuan the paintings that Tao Ruoning drew.

At first, Tao Ruoning wanted to use these paintings in exchange for her and her grandfather to survive in the border town. Later, with Ma Yongjiang's help, it was okay not to use paintings, but she still painted a lot. There are so many Zhangs.

Most of these paintings are the scenery of the border town, and Xu Qingyuan was fascinated by them.

Li Qingwen doesn't understand painting, but he knows that Tao Ruoning's paintings record the spring, summer and autumn of the border town, the rain, snow, wind and frost, and the slightest changes in these years, which are very vivid.

Xu Qingyuan flipped through the paper very slowly. After reading more than a dozen sheets, the sky darkened. He stacked the papers neatly, and then asked about the painter.

There was nothing to hide about this, Li Qingwen replied truthfully.

Sitting quietly for a while, Xu Qingyuan thought for a long time, but he didn't know who it was, so he gave up.

While Li Qingwen was preparing for the election, Li Qinghong also made an engagement with Miss Lu Xuening, because the two of them were not young, and the wedding date was set for November this year.

It has been more than ten years since Li Qingrui got married to the sons of the Li family. Among the remaining four sons of the Li family, one of the four remaining sons of the Li family has finally moved.

Although Li Qingzhuo, who was ranked second, hadn't married yet, since all four of his brothers were over the age of marriage, it was too late to get married.

This is something that can't be helped, Mrs. Chen has asked someone to look at it a long time ago, and the fortune teller said that the marriage relationship between the second child, the fourth child, and the fifth child is too vague to see clearly.

Mrs. Chen did not believe these words in the early years, but now, the second son is 25 years old, and he is too busy to see anyone every day, and the fourth son is 23, like a devil in the world. son 21...

After so many years, Mrs. Chen has to believe it if she doesn't believe it. Those who can get married will do it first.

Lu Xuening's elder brother, Lu Xueming, was in the same batch as Li Qingzhuo, and now he is an examiner, but he has been failing in the provincial examination, and he plans to continue the examination.

Lu Xuening is a gentle girl, and the Lu family is also reasonable, and the marriage arrangements are all in order. In a few months, the Li family will have a new family.

The couple wants to go back to the border city to become a couple, but they will spend the rest of their lives in the capital, so Li Qinghong recently visited the house in Dongcheng. After getting married, it is impossible for him to live in a big courtyard like the big guys.

The dry goods and jams in the border town are very good. Although the price is a bit more expensive, the ones they have eaten are all good. Every time Li Qingwen enters the city, he will see many people waiting outside the small gate.

The aunt and mother-in-law who run the house are the most savvy. They don't waste a single coin, but they know what's good about it. Compared with the more expensive pine nuts and hazelnuts, the mushrooms in the border town are their favorite.

In addition, there are also changes in the hot pot. Vermicelli is added to the shabu-shabu, and a bowl of chopped onions is added to the seasoning.

The soft boiled vermicelli has a unique taste, and when dipped in sesame sauce, it tastes great. People who like spicy flavors are full of praise for the onion. Some people like it and order the fried onion dish.

In April, the capital began to heat up, and the plaques of the hot pot shops in the outer suburbs were all hung up. We sent invitations to classmates and friends in the capital early, and opened in a lively manner in the good days of April.

Ever since Li's family opened Yangxiezi hot pot in the outer city, others have followed suit. Regardless of the taste, Yangxiezi hotpot shops are not uncommon. The one in the outer suburbs is special because it serves refreshing and delicious beer.

The wooden barrels containing wine were piled up in the cellar dug in advance, as if they still had the coldness of a border town, they were carried out on a sunny day in April, opened, and poured into a sea bowl, the white foam that sizzled out was revealing A trace of coldness.

In this kind of weather, eating hot hot pot, sweating quickly, drinking a sip of beer, cooling from the mouth to the bottom of the heart, the feeling is really too refreshing.

Of course, after several years of fine-tuning, the taste of the sheep and scorpion has become more mellow. As soon as the shop in the outer suburbs opened, it was full of guests and became famous immediately.

Xu Qingyuan was also invited, but on the first day he came, he saw too many people, so he went to weigh more than 20 catties of meat, and gave them food for the peaches.

Li Qingwen did what he said and punished them with food, but these big dogs are so smart, they pretended to be pitiful when they saw Xu Qingyuan, and their tails were about to wag to the sky.

Of course Li Qingwen knew, but if he turned a blind eye, Master Xu really liked it.

A few days later, there were still many people. It happened that Li Qingwen was on vacation, so he made a table of food and wine in the inn behind. Xu Qingyuan ate here, and after eating, he read the remaining scrolls.

Li Qingwen didn't know anything else, but what was certain was that Xu Qingyuan liked Border Town very much, and he would ask him carefully when he was watching it.

Half a month after the opening of the shop, the inn also opened, attracting many scholars from all corners of the country. There are long-term and short-term rentals here.

On the day the inn opened, Li Qingwen also came to help. After working for a long time, he suddenly realized that something was missing, but he never remembered it. It was only later that he suddenly remembered that the dog was gone! !

Li Qingwen was startled, and hurried out to look for them, not afraid that Mao Mao would hurt people, but rather that passers-by would hurt them.

In a hurry, he ran to the main road, ignoring the passing pedestrians, Li Qingwen shouted the names of Mao Mao and Tao Zi loudly.

Because of the urgency of running, the shoes on Li Qingwen's feet almost flew off, and the sweat slipped from his brow. There were many pedestrians on the road, but there were no shadows of those big dogs.

Just when Li Qingwen was about to go back and mobilize other people to look for the dog, he suddenly heard the faint sound of a dog barking in the south.

Before he could see clearly, his feet turned to the south automatically. After running not far, he saw Mao Mao galloping towards him.

Seeing that Maomao didn't make any warning calls, Li Qingwen felt relieved.

As if to reassure Li Qingwen, Maomao came up to him, let out a short cry, then turned around and led the way.

Following Maomao, Li Qingwen trotted for a while, and then saw a group of big dogs dragging a long rope on the field ridge ahead, surrounding a person, each of them was eager to jump up.

Mao Mao, who was leading the way, seemed to be trying his best to be reserved, but his bright eyes and quickened pace all showed his excitement at this time.

Apart from Hui Chatu tribe, this was the first time Li Qingwen saw them so excited.
