Dressed as a blacksmith

Lin Cuifen still wanted to stay and watch the fun, so Qiao Yuan and Yu Dameng went back first.

On the way back, Qiao Yuan asked, "What's the name of the girl in the pink dress?"

"Ah?" Yu Dameng thought for a while, was there anyone wearing pink clothes just now?

Qiao Yuan reminded: "It's the one standing next to Mrs. Zhang." Mrs. Zhang just played with them.

"Oh." Yu Dameng suddenly realized, "Yan He?"

Yanhe?Why are you so affectionate!

Qiao Yuan suppressed the jealousy in his heart and asked him, "You know him?"

Yu Dameng nodded, "Yes, I played with her when I was a child, and Gensheng likes to play with her."

Dare is still a childhood sweetheart!

Qiao Yuan asked another random question, "What do you think of her?"

"Ah?" He stopped Yu Dameng from asking again, he didn't quite remember, so he said, "It's okay, Gensheng used to say that she is a nice person, and she is also good-looking."

Qiao Yuan kicked Yu Dameng hard, "Go and find a good-looking one!"

The strings are too loose to be tight.

Qiao Yuan didn't pay much attention to Yu Dameng all the way, why didn't he know that Yu Dameng was probably thinking of this person in his mind.But he is so insecure that he needs to repeatedly confirm the other party's intentions, and he also wants Yu Dameng to coax him.

As soon as Brother Liu saw Qiao Yuan coming back, he trotted over and hugged his leg, "Brother Yuan!"

"Our Brother Liu is still the cutest, I always think about Brother Yuan." Qiao Yuan picked up Brother Liu and said like this.

Brother Liu is young, but...he is already very heavy!

Yu Dameng was worried, so he hurried over to support his waist, and said: "Don't hug him, be careful to slip your waist."

Qiao Yuan snorted, hugged Brother Liu and walked down the corridor, "We ignore your third brother."

In the end, he obediently put Brother Liu to sit on the porch.

Brother Liu glanced at the third brother who was standing there hesitating to speak, then looked at the cold-faced brother Yuan, and quietly asked Qiao Yuan: "Did the third brother make you angry?"

Qiao Yuan snorted again, and said to Brother Liu, "Your third brother, I want to change your third sister-in-law!"

"Ah, the third brother is a villain!" Brother Liu stood up, and ran over to hug Yu Dameng's leg like a small cannonball, begging him: "Brother Yuan is so good, can the third brother not change!"

Yu Dameng was in a hurry, he leaned in front of Qiao Yuan and said in a panic, "I didn't say change it!"

Qiao Yuan glared at him, couldn't hold back his smile, took out his handkerchief and wiped his face, pretending to be disgusted and said: "I don't even know that I've been smeared with mud, you can't leave me!"

Then Lin Cuifen came back from watching the fun, and when Brother Liu told her about this matter, she pulled Yu Dameng aside to ask what happened.After asking clearly, he grabbed Yu Dameng's ear bitterly, "You idiot! Do you still praise others for their good looks in front of your own wife?"

Yu Dameng was wronged, I didn't!

"Your aunt couldn't stand the quarrel, so she kept saying that she would not take them to work on the dock in the future. Those people asked her for the wages they had been swallowed for carrying the big bags before, and the hard money for helping with farm work over the years. Woke up."

"Fight?" Xu Xiuhua dared to fight so many opponents by himself?Qiao Yuan would praise her as a warrior.

"Yeah, it's messed up. I thought I didn't look too well there, so I hurried back."

Anyway, they will eventually hear about the progress of the matter from others, and the most urgent thing is to finish their own affairs first.

But today is not going to happen, the meeting went to the village chief's house, and many people in the village watched the fun there, Qiao Yuan and the others couldn't go to fetch food, so the two went home to clean the vegetable cellar first.

On the way, Yu Dameng tried to pull Qiao Yuan's hand tentatively. After touching Qiao Yuan for two or three times without scratching him, he finally took Qiao Yuan's hand confidently and boldly, and said, "I didn't say she was pretty, but root."

Qiao Yuan snorted and said: "Then you can't say that a girl is ugly. It's because you are married, so you can only see me. Otherwise, I won't be your husband, do you hear me?" ?”

Yu Dameng muttered in a low voice, "You were the only one."

Qiao Yuan didn't hear it clearly, so he didn't mention it again.Instead, I discussed the business with him, "I discussed with my mother the amount of food we stocked, and my mother said that she would help us get it together tomorrow morning and make an order with him. We have to hire an ox cart from the city tomorrow afternoon."

In fact, some people in the village have ox carts, but ox carts are rare these days.Anyway, now that Qiao Yuan has money, he doesn't want to owe favors to others.

Yu Dameng nodded yes, and said again: "Don't go down to the vegetable cellar in a while, it's dark inside, I'll go down by myself."

Qiao Yuan touched his nose, he wasn't so timid before, okay?Ever since such a supernatural and wonderful thing happened, he had to be accompanied by Yu Dameng when he went to the bathroom in the middle of the night!

Crying without tears!

Inadvertently because Yu Dameng's childhood playmate was jealous, he wanted to let Yu Dameng drink vinegar as well. He made hot and sour noodles with dinner, and specially put a lot of vinegar in Yu Dameng's bowl.

Yu Dameng is sour and dare not speak.

On the second day, the two of them hired an ox cart from the county town and came back early. Lin Cuifen had already agreed with the villagers to order cabbage from Aunt Wu's house, potatoes from Aunt Qian's house, and radishes from Li Fulang's house.Qiao Yuan deliberately ordered more, and the pancakes will still need green vegetables.

This trip, the old house needs to be delivered, the two people's small home needs to be delivered, and the vegetable cellar of the county shop also needs to be delivered, but the two of them are too busy.

The coachman also felt sorry for his scalper. Of course, after Qiao Yuan paid him sixty Wen and gave him a catty of pork, his unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Gensheng, Aunt Wu's two sons Wu Erping and Wu Sanping, Aunt Qian's youngest son Qian Caiwang, and Zhang Butcher's second brother Zhang Erga came to help. , thank you very much.

When returning from the county seat, Qiao Yuan cut five catties of pork and five catties of mutton, bought three pairs of pig's trotters, some pork ribs and pork bones, and two chickens, and Lin Cuifen bought two fish from Qian Caiwang's house. .

The whole family went to battle in the old house to prepare noodles. Qiao Yuan was in charge of the spoon. He made braised pork trotters with soybeans, roasted chicken with potatoes, spicy chicken in a dry pot, pork ribs with pepper and salt, steamed pork with rice flour, Sixi meatballs, fried pork, dry-stir-fried lamb, and steamed sea bass. , pork bone soup and a few green vegetables.I also made some sweet potato cakes, candied sweet potatoes, and sweet potato sticks with sweet plums for a few children.

The fragrance wafts far away, very craving.The village chief said that he would bring good wine and follow Zhao Gensheng to Yu's house for a meal, but Aunt Zhao said it was a good meal.

Naturally, the Yu family has prepared all these good wines and dishes, how could he be missing?

Not only the village head was invited, but Aunt Zhao Yugeer and Zhao Laifu were also invited.They also invited Mrs. Zhang, a butcher, Zhang Dabao, and several other family members to sit at two tables, which was very lively.

The village head was full of praise for Qiao Yuan's cooking, and said regretfully, "I should have known earlier, Brother Yuan was invited to be the chef for Gensheng's family dinner."

Zhang Tuhu's rich family has seen the world, and said: "Indeed, it tastes better than the restaurants in the county town!"

At the banquet, the village head also talked about the land tax: "Tomorrow, you and I will collect the land tax of our village, and then send it to the county government the day after tomorrow, and the public will pay you the commission for these two days. "

This is about Wu Erping and others. Yu Dameng and Zhang Tuhu need to do business, so naturally they are not included.

Wu Erping and the others didn't expect to get an extra chance to make money when they came to drink, so they were even happier.

Only after listening to their conversation did Qiao Yuan know that the house to the east of their house belonged to the Wu family.It's just that the Wu family hasn't separated yet, and they all live together, so there is no one living in that house, and they are still half neighbors.

Several children like tamales and salt and pepper pork ribs very much, and adults naturally follow the children to eat first.One by one, the little bellies that ate everything were round and full, and they couldn't stop their mouths, which made the adults laugh.

Aunt Zhao also told them about Xu Xiuhua's farce yesterday, "Later, a group of people came to my house to argue, Li Da, Li Er and the others meant that as long as the Qiao family gave them the previous wages, it would be fine. It's worth a tael of silver!"

Wu Erping's family asked, "So many?"

"I'm still afraid that she won't give it. It's not enough." Aunt Zhao grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "There are seven families in total, and they get seven taels of silver at once. How can Xiuhua be willing? However, those few families are not vegetarians." , Anyway, I have already torn my face, and they united and said that if they don't give this money, they will go to the pier where Qiao Da works!"

"Xiuhua got scared, and started to apologize to those companies, and said that she would take them to work at the dock in the future."

Qian Caiwang's family said: "That can't be done like this! She is so unreasonable and overbearing. I used to be the head of the house and went to work with me. Later, when I met her while washing clothes by the river, she turned towards me. I slapped him with a slap! I was worried that my mother-in-law would disturb me when I went home, but I told my mother-in-law, and my mother-in-law said that even if I don’t earn that money, I can’t suffer that dirty air. A person must have ambition. "

Qiao Yuan heard Xu Xiuhua being slapped by Mrs. Qian's slap and the water almost spewed out of her mouth. No wonder Xu Xiuhua didn't allow him to talk to the Qian family in Yuanshen's memory!

Aunt Zhao said again: "That is to say! They are all from the same village, and they are all farmers. Why are they being so oppressive! The seven families have also made up their minds, they want money, and they will not work with Qiao Da in the future. You The village head asked Gensheng to go to the pier to invite Qiao Da back. Qiao Da repaired Xiuhua severely in front of everyone, and compensated the money of these companies, and said that he would take them to the pier to work in the future. It's over."

Qiao Yuan didn't think so, how could Qiao Guangzhi be so sensible?Otherwise, how could he have turned a blind eye to Xu Xiuhua's harsh treatment of her biological mother and brother's orphans all these years, everything was just superficial.

After all, it was at Yu's house. They briefly talked about it, and then turned to talk about the interesting things about the autumn harvest and the experience of raising children. They also asked Qiao Yuan and Brother Yu to listen carefully, so that they can be used in the future .

Qiao Yuan: "..."

They didn't leave until it was completely dark. Aunt Zhao and Aunt Zhang helped tidy up before going home.

It was getting late, Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan went home holding hands under the moonlight.

Qiao Yuan acted like a baby: "I'm so tired, you can boil the water when I get back later."

I have been sweating a lot this day, and my body is dirty, so I have to take a good bath.

How can I use Qiao Yuan to say this again, but he just loves to act like a baby.

"En." Yu Dameng nodded in response.

Qiao Yuan smelled alcohol, "Have you been drinking?"

"Drink a little."

Qiao Yuan looked at him seriously, his eyes were still clear, "Aren't you drunk?"

Yu Dameng blushed from his stare, and muttered: "No."

Qiao Yuan was a little disappointed when he heard the words, not knowing how drunk Yu Dameng was.

Both of them have to wash, and several pots at home have to be boiled four times.After Yu Dameng boiled the hot water, he added water to the bathtub. When he turned around, he found that Qiao Yuan had already taken off his outer shirt and shoes, and hurriedly avoided his sight.

He hurriedly prepared to go out, but Qiao Yuan clamped his leg with his foot.

"What...what's the matter?" Yu Dameng stumbled a little.

Qiao Yuan rubbed his legs lightly with his feet again, and opened his arms, looking straight at him, but didn't speak.

Yu Dameng understood, bent down and picked him up, but he was reluctant to put him in the tub.

After looking at each other for a long time, Qiao Yuan tapped his lips with his hand, with a smile on his face, "Aren't you tired?"

Yu Dameng called out: "Brother Yuan."

He was breathing heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Can I kiss you?"

Qiao Yuan tightened his arms around Yu Dameng's neck, and smiled, "Do you still want to ask when you kiss your husband?"

Before he finished speaking, Yu Dameng pecked lightly on his lips.

Qiao Yuan stared at his bright eyes, and his face gradually turned red, "Just...just a kiss?"

"En." Yu Dameng replied lightly, stared at Qiao Yuan reluctantly for a while, and put him into the bathtub.

After Yu Dameng left the room, Qiao Yuan blushed and plunged into the water.
