Dressed as a blacksmith

On the last day of the market, there were not as many people as the previous two days.

Zhang Wensheng finally made time to wander around Qiao Yuan. He was dressed in a Confucian shirt, with his hair tied up and a hat on, and he looked like a dog.

There are not many people with fame in the county seat, and he is good at making a profit, so he paid the clerk sent by the county government to have a drink, and then he got the job of land tax.

Seeing Qiao Yuan making a living with Yu Dameng, that stinky blacksmith, he wanted to show off his prestige in front of him and make him regret it.Unexpectedly, this ghost was too busy to take action at all, and Qiao Yuan's booth was surrounded by people, so he couldn't be seen at all.

Now that he was finally free, he naturally had to come and hang out a few more times, and even shouted at the people who lined up to show his official prestige.

Lin Cuifen wondered, "Why does this scholar keep hanging around us?"

Qiao Yuan naturally knew what he was up to, and was happy to see Yu Dameng, but he had to let him drink his vinegar for a while.

Sure enough, Yu Dameng clenched his fists tightly, almost going forward to beat someone.

Qiao Yuan tried his best to suppress the smile on his lips, stepped forward to hold Yu Dameng's hand, turned to Lin Cuifen and said, "Mother, Dameng and I will go shopping in the street."

"Go, go." Lin Cuifen looked at the hands held by the young couple, overjoyed, this marriage is really wonderful.

Look, her husband and her son are in love with each other!

Brother Liu wanted to go for a walk even though he was ignorant, but Yu Shanwen coaxed him to stop him, "What are you doing, I will take you there later."

After walking far away, Qiao Yuan cleared his throat and sighed deliberately: "Oh, that Zhang Shu is growing really well. He is wearing a white shirt. He is really elegant. I didn't pay attention to it before."

Yu Dameng turned his head to look at him, and muttered resentfully, "I also make clothes like that."

"Pfft!" Qiao Yuan imagined and couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Yu Dameng's face became more and more ugly, he quickly restrained his smile, tugged at Yu Dameng's arm, and coaxed him, "What are you fussing about with him!"

Qiao Yuan looked at the people on the left and right, lowered his voice, tiptoed to Yu Dameng's ear and said, "I'm already like you, I belong to you."

The breath he exhaled slapped Yu Dameng's ear, very seductive, and seemed to touch Yu Dameng's ear, Yu Dameng was so teased by him that he was dizzy, and when he woke up, Qiao Yuan had already let go of his hand and ran away up.

Yu Dameng caught up with Qiao Yuan at the rouge and gouache stand, and he wished he could grab Qiao Yuan in his arms and teach him a lesson.

Therefore, wherever Qiao Yuan goes to choose, he follows behind like a little tail, very clingy.

The stall owner's husband, Lang, couldn't help joking: "Your man is really attached to you!"

Qiao Yuan pursed his lips and smiled without saying anything, he was still very reserved in front of outsiders!

It's late autumn, and the wind is strong. The climate here is similar to the modern northern climate, which is very dry.If you don’t hurry up and use cream to moisten your hands and face, then half a month later, it will be so ugly, how ugly!

Qiao Yuan picked two cans for himself, one with the scent of camellia and one with the scent of jasmine, both of which had a mild taste.I also picked out a can of peony-scented cream and a box of rouge powder for Lin Cuifen, and a can of fragrant milky cream for Liu Geer, which was just right for children.

Qiao Yuan wandered around, remembering the heavy rain in the past few days, and added two oil-paper umbrellas to the house, one was a landscape painting, the other was a picture of wintersweet, which were very beautiful.When he saw someone selling bamboo hats and coir raincoats, he wanted to make a move, but Yu Dameng stopped him, "It's cheaper to buy bamboo hats in the village, and the coir raincoat girl can make them. I've already told her."

Yu Dameng's accent is not as strong as before, and when it comes to business, he looks like a man in charge of the family.Qiao Yuan smiled and moved closer to him.

Now he has a total of more than 30 taels of silver in his hand, and he can finally afford a toothbrush, and he doesn't need to use the willow branches.He bought a high-quality toothbrush for him and Yu Dameng, and bought two boxes of medium-priced tooth powder, which cost another tael of silver.

Fewer and fewer people paid the land tax, and some hawkers took over their stalls and went back, and the Yu family also went back after discussing it.

Yu Shanwu said: "Then let's just pave the cobblestone road."

Qiao Yuan thought so too, it was rare to have such a lot of free time, so the whole family moved the stall back to the iron shop, packed up their things and took the bullock cart home.

I have already eaten pancakes for lunch, so I will go home and clean up before I can work.

Father Yu took Yu Dameng and the twin brothers to dig fine stones and soil at the foot of the mountain, while Lin Cuifen and Qiao Yuan boiled glutinous rice paste together.The mortar responsible for sticking pebbles is made of glutinous rice slurry mixed with slaked lime and limestone, which is said to have excellent adhesion.

It just so happened that Zhao Gensheng came to explain to Yu Dameng that he was going to drink at his house the next night. Seeing this, he greeted Wu Erping and others to follow him up the mountain to help without saying a word.

The progress quickly picked up, a group of people and mortar, a group of people poured the excavated fine stones and soil layer by layer with mortar and then leveled them in the yard, and paved the path from the bedroom to the stove and the toilet. Joe Take a few small pebbles away.

Brother Liu liked this job very much, and he didn't feel tired after working all afternoon, but Brother Yuan said that these two beautiful trails would have to wait for three days before they could be walked up, and he was looking forward to three days soon.

Zhao Gensheng and Wu Erping also couldn't wait to try the dry road. If it was good, they would also make one at their own home, and their daughter-in-law would definitely like it.

The past few days were really tiring, Zhao Gensheng and the others were considerate of Yu's family, and they refused to stay here tonight no matter what, and said that it would be fine for Qiao Yuan to go to his house to cook, and Qiao Yuan naturally readily agreed.

At night, after washing, Yu Dameng combed Qiao Yuan's hair as usual.

"We all have hair dryers, and the hair will dry after a while." Qiao Yuan felt that the hair was long, and it was too laborious to wash it once, and it couldn't be cut casually here, so he chatted with Yu Dameng about life in modern times.

After hearing this, Yu Dameng pursed his lips and hugged Qiao Yuan lightly, "You have been wronged."

Qiao Yuan hooked his lips, and threw Yu Dameng down, "Then you have to take good care of me!"

The body has not been well maintained, but is it not enough to relieve hunger?

......

On the second day, they were busy working in the shop in the morning as usual, and in the afternoon the twin brothers took Qiao Yuan home to help the village head's family prepare a table.

Lin Cuifen and Wu Erping's family were also there to help, and they were all the same ones who had dinner at the Yu's old house last time.

Aunt Zhao started the conversation, "There's no excuse! He's a greedy old alcoholic and wants to eat the food cooked by Brother Yuan, so that's why he greeted you guys to be lively."

Everyone laughed together, but they actually thought about it a little bit.

Qiancaiwang's family picked up Brother Liu and sucked it hard. He liked it very much, "Little Liu'er smells so good!"

Brother Liu said happily: "I put on the cream that Brother Yuan bought for me!"

Lin Cuifen revealed his background, "It's so stinky, I won't go out unless I wipe it off."

Everyone laughed again, and it became more lively for a while.

Aunt Wu regretted in her heart, her family was obviously next to Qiao's, why didn't her family Siping and Wuping marry Brother Yuan at that time, otherwise wouldn't it be her family who lived a good life now?She blamed all of this on Xu Xiuhua, that rotten person, thinking that sooner or later she would be unhappy.

When the dishes were almost ready, Zhao Shuisheng came back with an ox cart.On weekdays, he and his wife lived in a shop in the county seat. When his father paid the land tax, he told him to come to eat at home today, so he took Father Yu and Yu Dameng back along the way.

There were so many people, it was difficult for Yu Dameng and Qiao Yuan to talk alone, so they only smiled from a distance.

Zhao Laifu hadn't seen his parents for several days, and it would be tight. Zhao Shuisheng picked him up and said that he was fat again.

Lin Cuifen thought of her elder brother who was the same age as Shui Sheng, who had been married for more than two years and hadn't made any movement, so she couldn't help feeling a little melancholy, so Qiao Yuan hurriedly said something else to divert her attention.

During the dinner, Yu Dameng kept Qiao Yuan's explanation in mind, and asked the village head and Zhao Shuisheng about Qiao Guangzhi's errand.

"He works as a steward at Yunshui Lake Wharf, so your father-in-law was also the steward there!" As he spoke, the village head sighed again, "What a pity!"

Zhao Shuisheng quickly cheered up the atmosphere and said: "The little steward there has three taels of silver every month. I wanted to find a job at first, but they didn't like me at all!"

Yunshui County is named after Yunshui Lake, and it is extremely convenient to go to Fucheng by water.This wharf can be regarded as an important hub of water transportation, and there are constant ships going from south to north every day.

Qiao Guangzhi was a poor man, but he was able to get a job as a dock manager, there must be some twists and turns in it.No matter how much information there is, Zhao Shuisheng and the village head will not know. Qiao Yuan thought that he had to find someone at the dock to inquire in detail.

These prerequisites are that you must have money on hand, and you still have to make good money right now.

A few nights ago, Qiao Yuan asked Yu Dameng what he would look like if he was drunk, and it seemed that he really wanted to see Yu Dameng drunk.Therefore, Yu Dameng deliberately drank more wine today.

This time, already drunk.

He didn't let anyone help him, he just obediently followed behind Qiao Yuan like a follower.Everyone joked, even though Qiao Yuan had a thick skin, he couldn't help blushing.

Aunt Zhao: "Brother Yuan, hurry up and take Dameng's house, you don't need to clean up this."

Zhao Shuisheng also asked if he needed someone to accompany him, but Qiao Yuan looked at Yu Dameng's bright eyes and refused.

He was afraid that Yu Dameng would fall, so he supported him all the way, but Yu Dameng was quite obedient and didn't make a fuss.

"You're so gutsy now that you still dare to get drunk." Qiao Yuan scolded Yu Dameng while helping him take off his coat.

Yu Dameng just looked at him and smiled foolishly.

Qiao Yuan was so annoyed by his appearance that he wanted to laugh, stretched out his hands and tugged at his cheeks, which he couldn't reach normally, but now Yu Dameng was sitting and he was standing, which was just what he wanted.

Yu Dameng hugged Qiao Yuan's waist, and the two looked at each other.

After a while, Qiao Yuan was brought to the bed by a burst of brute force.
