Xu Wenyan endured the pain and stood up.

Then he kicked Chen Sanlin, but the big guy just sat there with his head down and didn't respond.

Xu Wenyan took a deep breath and endured the pain in his knees, squatting in front of Chen Sanlin and whispered, "Why are you hiding from me?"

…The person in front of me didn’t respond.

"I'm asking you a question." Xu Wenyan pushed him.

Chen Sanlin still said nothing.

As if feeling something was wrong, Xu Wenyan held Chen Sanlin's cheeks with both hands and lifted his head up.

As soon as Chen Sanlin was helped up, tears started flowing. Xu Wenyan was also panicked. Why was this big guy crying?

He was at a loss for words and hurriedly checked Chen Sanlin to see if he had bumped into anything when he pushed him. "Brother Chen, say something. What's wrong with you? Don't cry."

In fact, Xu Wenyan is most afraid of others crying, especially when he makes them cry.

After a while of calm, Chen Sanlin choked up and said, "Don't you want me anymore..." That gentle voice couldn't possibly come from such a big man's mouth. It was so aggrieved.

Hearing him being so pitiful, Xu Wenyan didn't know what to do: "No, I don't want you." In a panic, he waved his hands in the air without knowing where to put them.

Chen Sanlin sniffed: "You just... you don't like me anymore, you don't want me anymore, you want me to marry someone else." At this point Chen Sanlin burst into tears: "No wonder you want to be independent... you haven't wanted me for a long time."

Xu Wenyan stood there in a daze, his mind was blank and he didn't know what to say.

"Dad doesn't want me, Mom is gone, and now you don't want me either." Chen Sanlin looked at Xu Wenyan with red eyes and then lowered his head.

But the next second, a pair of thin and gentle hands hugged him tightly, and gentle and apologetic words floated in his ears: "I'm sorry, Brother Chen, I don't want you, I just ask you, if you don't want to, you can tell me directly... I set up my own business not to leave you.

Look, isn't our marriage certificate still with you?"

Xu Wenyan held Chen Sanlin's head with his right hand and stroked it gently.

"Really?"

Xu Wenyan sighed and smiled, his eyes full of tenderness: "Really."

The two hugged for a while, and Chen Sanlin remembered that Xu Wenyan's knee was broken: "I'm sorry, I'll carry you back now."

Lying on the bed, Xu Wenyan recalled what had just happened and felt extremely embarrassed.

How could I say such hypocritical words? And does this mean we will be together for life?

But why don’t I feel any rejection in my heart?

Could it be that I am actually a crooked person?

That's not right! I also have a reaction to beautiful women.

Forget it, forget it. Xu Wenyan became more and more anxious the more he thought about it, so he just gave up.

let it go.

......

For half a month, the Chen family lived in the fields. The weeds grew too fast, so they had to clear them away whenever they had time every day.

The water in the rice fields was also filled, which took a lot of effort.

Moreover, Xu Wenyan found traces of wild boars in the vegetable field. The land of the family downstairs in the village had been destroyed. For the sake of the few seedlings at home, Xu Wenyan decided to fence off the land.

He called Rong Xiaoliu and Chen Sanlin to go up the mountain early in the morning again. Xiaohu has been busy with his family affairs recently, and Xu Wenyan didn't call him because it was difficult to control him.

Chen Sanlin was still the leader, looking for the bamboo forest in the mountains. The people of Jixiang Village were stubborn. Since the bamboo grew in the deep mountains, why didn't they transplant some back?

It will take at least two years for a forest to grow into a forest. After passing through a dry thorn forest, Xu Wenyan finally saw dry bamboos. The heavy snow in winter froze all the bamboos to death.

But don't worry too much. Xu Wenyan can already see bamboo shoots sprouting out, and he will be able to come here to pick bamboo shoots in a month at most.

"Pick the ones that are still dry, discard the ones that are a little black, and cut them into long strips." Xu Wenyan looked around and saw that there were mainly golden bamboo shoots here, the thicker ones: "Rong Xiaoliu, you idiot, who taught you to cut upwards, hold the knife downwards."

"Oh, sorry, Brother Xu."

Xu Wenyan shook his head. There was really no such thing as a worry-free situation.

Just when he was feeling annoyed, Xu Wenyan looked down and saw that the ones near the stream were also bamboos, but they seemed to be thinner. Xu Wenyan walked down carefully and was delighted to see that they were actually water bamboos.

Although water bamboo shoots are smaller, they grow fast. They are mainly eaten as the bamboos themselves cannot grow big. The small bamboo shoots around them are also sprouting out. In more than a week, we can harvest the first batch.

The fresh vegetables for this spring are finally available.

Of course, Xu Wenyan could only distinguish this bamboo. He couldn't tell what the other plants were. After all, all the trees in the forest were bare now.

It will take another two days before the trees start to leaf out.

When Xu Wenyan returned, Chen Sanlin and Rong Xiaoliu had already piled a bundle. He was not idle either, so he helped them and tried to get back before noon.

The bamboo strips they brought back were thrown directly onto the edge of the field, and after dinner the three of them started making a fence.

First, you have to use wood to fix the stake, then weave bamboo strips horizontally around the wood, and then use smaller bamboo strips to fix the horizontal ones.

In this way, the overall frame is built, and then the bamboo strips are inserted vertically. It doesn't need to be too dense, just enough to make the animals feel that the road ahead is blocked.

Xu Wenyan guessed that the grass in the mountains had not grown yet, but the soil in the farmers' homes was fertile. For example, the vegetables from Xu Wenyan's home were the ones growing the best. Although the seedlings from other households were not as tall as those from Xu Wenyan's home, they also had green leaves.

Because of those wild boars, the land of several families below was all wasted. I saw that the young and old in those families were worried a few days ago.

"You two should be careful with your hands. These bamboo sticks are covered with thorns and it will be difficult to get them out." Xu Wenyan's hands had quite a few small cuts on them after just a short while of working.

It's not that he was careless, it's just that the dried bamboo was not tough enough and he had to use force to penetrate it, and if he used force, the bamboo thorns would poke into his hands.

Xu Wenyan didn't need to fence off such a large piece of land. He fenced off all of it except for the land on the side where potatoes, sweet potatoes and radishes were planted. From now on, it would be safer to plant vegetables within the fence.

It took three people two days to build this fence. Every night, Chen Sanlin felt so distressed when he saw Xu Wenyan picking out thorns with needle and thread. After all, it was because of his incompetence that his wife had to suffer with him.

"hand."

While Chen Sanlin was still thinking about something, his thoughts were interrupted: "Ah?"

Xu Wenyan didn't repeat himself and directly grabbed the pair of calloused hands.

In fact, the thorns on Chen Sanlin's hands were no less than his. Maybe it was just that his skin was thicker. He didn't say anything, so Xu Wenyan could only see it himself.

The main reason is that Chen Sanlin always likes to hug me when sleeping. What if he gets hurt?

Chen Sanlin felt warm in his heart as he watched Xu Wenyan carefully remove the bamboo thorns bit by bit.

No wonder my mother is so eager to find a wife for herself.

It’s great to have a wife.
