Civilian Edition Traveling Farming Diary

Can't get up in the morning...

Last night was really crazy, I am not too worried that Cui Changyu will find me early, he hasn't seen Qingping for seven or eight days, and according to his urination, he probably won't be able to get up this morning...

But I was worried that there would be no food in the dining hall because it was too late, and Ah Xiang would be starving.Although we can make small stoves at home now, we are always too embarrassed to take too much. We only get one meal for one meal, and there is no food left at home.

So I yawned and went to the dining hall. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhu carefully reserved food for us. This morning I ate multigrain noodle porridge and potato cakes. The potato cakes were delicious.

She said that young couples like to sleep late, she understands, and I am a little embarrassed.

I put breakfast in the pot and heated it up. I couldn't sleep now, so I cleaned up the messy bedroom floor lightly. When I soaked our clothes and was about to wash them, Chen Xiangyi He walked out with a sad face.

I smiled flatteringly, and he snorted and went to brush his teeth.

Yo this little temper.

I like how he looks now, full of emotions, careful thinking, lively and cute, not at all like the carefree look he used to have in the village, now Chen Xiang is like a green young man, swaying youthfully in the spring sun. vitality.

Moving is really the right thing to do!

I asked him to go to eat first, and he went without saying a word, ah, this is really emotional, otherwise he would run over and say that he came to do the laundry and let me go to eat.

Ha, ok, ok, last night I was too much, and I went to coax him after washing the clothes. Alas, my wife has to coax him. What can I do?

But how to coax... I washed the clothes and hung them on the hemp rope, and Chen Xiang walked into the house from the kitchen...

Um~

Still ignore me!

I went out and walked around. I didn’t have any money to buy gifts, so I folded wicker and wrapped it around. I picked colorful wild flowers on the side of the road and put them on it. I made a beautiful wreath and took it home.

I put the wreath on Chen Xiang's head and asked him if he liked it. Chen Xiang said yes, took it off, looked left and right, and said it looked good.

Seeing that he was in a better mood, I rubbed my arms around his shoulders, kissed his face, and said flatteringly, "Then did you forgive me?"

Chen Xiang blushed, holding the wreath and saying nothing.

I acted like a baby: "Ah Xiang, good Ah Xiang, look at your poor man, he really knows he is wrong, don't ignore me, I will be heartbroken."

Chen Xiang pushed me with a smile, and said angrily, "Why are you like this? How old are you? You're so ashamed."

I said: "I am three years old, please love me."

Ah Xiang giggled, blushing and said, "I don't know how to be ashamed."

I put my arms around his waist and said: "Sometimes people can't be too shy, especially on the bed, you have to let go to be happier..."

When Chen Xiang heard this, she put on a stern face in embarrassment, pushed me away and said, "You're not serious again! I knew you had no time to be serious!"

I laughed out loud, I was making a fuss, A-Dong called me outside, I helplessly spread my hands at A-Xiang, serious business is coming.

Chen Xiang pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Go quickly, don't delay the boss' business."

Okay, okay~ I haven't eaten yet, so where is the reasoning here!

A-Dong yelled again outside, I responded loudly, went to the back kitchen to grab a potato pancake and ran out.

A Dong said that Cui Changyu was waiting for me in the store.

Oh yes, Cui's family still has a shop, but they don't pay much attention to management. Their focus is on the workshop side, mainly engaged in wholesale.Although they only have one workshop, they are completely incomparable with those chain enterprises in the original world, but in this era, it is considered a big industry, enough to gain a foothold, even in the current situation where the paper industry is not very prosperous.

The shop is on the side of a bustling street. The area is really not small. It is three floors high, and each floor has about [-] square meters. It is transparent from north to south and has excellent lighting. It's a pity that the shop is not well run.

The first floor of the shop is the takeaway area, piled with various papers and books, similar to those shops seen on the road, some customers are shopping at the moment, the second floor is the office area, and the third floor is empty.

Cui Changyu was waiting for me on the second floor. When I entered, he was coloring the painting.

I leaned over to have a look, good guy!I finally know why Cui Changyu despises my watercolor painting so much. Compared with his painting, mine is really a child's graffiti. It's not interesting but it really can't be shown to the magistrate.

Cui Changyu used high-quality jade satin to draw out the entire venue layout of the poetry meeting with extremely fine brushstrokes, and dyed it with watercolors, forming a beautiful real scene that dazzles people's eyes.

I held my breath for fear of disturbing him, but he ignored me and concentrated on applying the last layer of color.

When the painting was finished, I was dumbfounded, it was so beautiful, forgive me for my lack of words, I will only say it is too beautiful!

I can feel the sunshine, the warm spring breeze, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, and even the noise of tourists from that painting.

Absolutely!

Cui Changyu put down his pen triumphantly, and raised his chin: "How about it, did you crush your dog crawling painting?"

My painting is placed next to it as a reference. I don’t even want to look at it now. I admire it wholeheartedly: “It’s so beautiful, young master, why don’t you be a painter?”

As I said that, I wanted to touch the realistic peach blossoms and the gurgling water. Cui Changyu quickly grabbed me and shouted: "It's not done yet, don't touch it, don't erase my painting, give me back." Redraw."

I quickly withdrew my hand, that's not true, this painting is precious, so I can't wipe it off.

Cui Changyu looked at the painting and shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Zhang is really smart. He was able to come up with such a gorgeous poem arrangement. It's amazing. To be honest, your picture is a bit horrible, but it still shocks me when I look closely. I dare say that this poem meeting will definitely cause a sensation and become famous for a while."

I laughed and said, "Our paper will definitely sell well by then, so I'll raise wages based on this."

Cui Changyu said with a smile: "You must not lose your wages, don't worry, I am now looking forward to the day of the poetry meeting."

Me: "There is still a lot of preparation work to be done, we have to work hard!"

I stretched out a fist, and Cui Changyu asked me what I was doing.

I said punch to show my determination.

Cui Changyu smiled and stretched out his fist to touch me firmly, this kid is quite strong.

We looked at each other and smiled. In fact, we are about the same age, and we are both straightforward people. The feeling between us is more like friends than master and servant.

Cui Changyu said that the magistrate is usually busy with official business in the morning, and only has a little time in the afternoon, so he will let his father go there this afternoon.

Of course I have no opinion.

I asked him what his chances of winning were, and Cui Changyu thought about it and said it was probably possible.

I suggest that we can do preparatory work first, and the first step is to select a site.Cui Changyu thought it was a good idea.

So A-Dong went back and handed over the painting to the owner, and Cui Changyu and I ran to choose a site, oh my god, I just realized that this is not easy at all!

We have only one carriage, and the carriage cannot gallop in the city, it can only walk slowly...

So when we went home in the evening, we didn’t choose a good address, because Fengzhou City is really too big, we only ran five o’clock a day, which is still a non-stop result. In order to save time, we even bought buns for lunch. Food in the car.

After a few days, I was forced to think of the fear of the carriage's buttocks again.

If I had a wagon, I'd definitely swap the hardwood panels for a sofa.

Forget it, don't think about it, carriages are a super luxury, some rides are good, I'm poor and empty now, what do I think.

Cui Changyu was fine, he said that this year he didn't have to farm because he was busy with poetry fairs, he didn't like farming.

I was stunned, why does he still want to farm?

After asking, I realized that people in this era really have deep feelings for the land. Even wealthy businessmen would buy some land to plant. They are not farmers, so buying land is very expensive, but everyone I think it’s worth it. Land is the most worthwhile investment. The Cui family has a large manor in the suburbs, and they hire people to take care of it on weekdays. However, the Cui family’s ancestors have stipulated that the Cui family must participate in the annual spring plowing to express their devotion to the land. It can be regarded as reminiscing bitterness and thinking sweetly, which I think is very good.

It seems that my future plan will also include the purchase of land!

My boss stayed with the magistrate for an afternoon, and I went home in the evening. Cui An came to inform that the magistrate was ready, and brought some daily necessities, meat and vegetables over.

Among them was a fish, which Cui An said had just been killed and was fresh, so I asked Chen Xiang to stew it. I will eat fish and white rice tonight, it is so delicious!

I especially like to eat rice with stewed fish soup. When Chen Xiang saw it, he also made a bowl for himself. He said it was delicious. The two of us ate a whole fish, and we were a little full. At night, we held hands nearby Take a walk to digest food.

The weather was a bit cloudy at night. Ah Xiang said that the rain in spring and summer is the most mischievous, so he came as soon as he said it. You must bring an umbrella with you when you go out. I listened to him and brought an oiled paper umbrella. There are not many umbrellas at this time The pattern is simple and spacious, enough for the two of us, and a handful is enough.

We walked and walked to the street, which is the street at the main entrance of the workshop. At this time, it was getting late, and many shops on the street were beginning to close, but some shops were lit with lanterns, most of them were restaurants. Here There are so many restaurants, all kinds, and many specialties.

We passed several restaurants, and I saw two of them also had storytellers. Suddenly, I felt that my life a few months ago seemed like a lifetime away. It seemed that I hadn’t been a storyteller for a long time.

I smiled and said to Ah Xiang, he is the end of my storytelling career. Since the day he came, I have never spoken a book. Of course, going to Cui’s house to tell stories to children is not counted.

Ah Xiang also laughed, saying that he would only let me tell him the story in the future.

I said okay, I still have a lot of stories, and I will only tell you.

We looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, the weather changed, and it was raining sporadically. Fortunately, I listened to Ah Xiang’s words and brought an umbrella. We shared an oil-paper umbrella and walked on the way home at a leisurely pace, watching passers-by hurrying home. Running, the shop assistants hurriedly moved the shops placed outside back into the shop, the stone floor was rained, reflecting the mottled light and shadow at the restaurant entrance, and the diners were talking and laughing loudly, noisy and lively.

I hugged Ah Xiang in my arms and told him that I like this place and I want to work hard and buy a house that really belongs to us. From now on, the running in the rainy day will come to an end, and there will be more warmth in the bleak winter.

The house doesn’t have to be very big, it has to be green tiles and white walls, I want to have a kang in the room, and I also have a study room, and the toilet can’t be cold, I have to make a toilet with a layer of warm cushions on it.

Ah Xiang said that he wanted to grow flowers in the front yard and grow vegetables in the backyard. He wanted to cover the yard wall with roses, and he also planted some flowers and plants to repel mosquitoes. He wanted to plant a grape in the backyard. In summer we ate under the grape trellis. Grapes look at the stars.

We talked softly, all about the beautiful vision of the future, went home before it was completely dark, took a hot shower, wrapped up in a soft quilt and said good night to each other, this is the best I can think of life.
