My delicate husband
Chapter 113: People from the County Government Come to Repair the House
The house is almost cleaned up, and the peppers and potatoes in the field are almost ripe. Fortunately, there are brothers Han and Man at home, so Lan An doesn't have to worry about the things in the field.
Blue Eucalyptus also felt that the weather was getting colder, so it started burning earthworms, but it was only in the morning and evening. The weather was still very good at noon.
Lan'an has been feeling a little unwell recently, but he thought it was because he was not used to the cold weather. Since there was nothing going on at home, Lan'an just slept in bed. He felt that there was more and more soft flesh on his belly, but that was good too. More flesh would help him resist the cold in winter.
Zhang Xiaomo has been going out secretly recently, and he didn't notice any abnormalities with Lan Euan.
Lan An knew that he should do something to help Brother Wu, but he was still unhappy.
Lan An felt that he seemed not so important in Zhang Xiaomo's heart. In order to make Zhang Xiaomo do things better, Lan An pretended to be asleep more and more often. Zhang Xiaomo went out more and more often, and for longer and longer periods of time. Lan An felt colder and colder in his heart. He was waiting for Zhang Xiaomo to confess. He hated deception and concealment.
Brother Kong called his brothers from the county town to clean up Zhu Ni's house, and a group of people were cleaning it up. Brother Xu was also helping. They had been working on it for several days and it was almost finished.
Lan An also took the time to go and take a look. It was like moving into a new house. Lan An replaced all the tableware in his kitchen and had them renovate the kitchen. The brothers all agreed. They were very happy that the eldest brother had finally caught up with his sweetheart.
Lan An still couldn't help it, and asked Brother Man about Zhang Xiaomo's whereabouts. Seeing Brother Man's embarrassed face, Lan An didn't say anything and chose not to ask any more questions.
Lan An felt a little sad and cried for a while while hugging the quilt. He didn't know if it was his illusion, but the scent of Zhang Xiaomo on the quilt had faded a lot.
Zhang Xiaomo returned to the room and found Lan An had woken up. The corners of her eyes were a little red and she was sitting on the bed in a daze, like a silly rabbit. But Zhang Xiaomo thought she was cute and her originally bad mood improved.
Zhang Xiaomo didn't expect that the guys from other villages would be so bold. Zhang Xiaomo has been buying grain from the heads of surrounding villages recently.
Today, when he went to Jinshui Village, the brother of the village chief actually fell in love with him and almost threw himself into his arms. There was an unpleasant smell of rouge on his body, which made Zhang Xiaomo so embarrassed that he was embarrassed when he saw Lan An when he got home.
"An'an, wake up."
"Brother Xiaomo, give me a hug."
Lan An didn't know why, but his sense of smell had been very sensitive recently. When he smelled the scent on Zhang Xiaomo's body this time, Lan An felt as if the strings in his heart seemed to break. It was the first time that he was so resistant to the smell of Zhang Xiaomo. Lan An also keenly discovered that there was lip balm on Zhang Xiaomo's collar. If you didn't look closely, most people would not be able to notice that touch of red.
Lan An never doubted Zhang Xiaomo's feelings for him, but Zhang Xiaomo's recent behavior was so strange that Lan An felt heartbroken and tears were dripping down his face. Zhang Xiaomo was scared. It was the first time he saw Lan An cry so sadly.
"An An, why are you unhappy? Talk to your husband."
Lan An just looked at Zhang Xiaomo and shook his head calmly.
Lan An didn't want to see Zhang Xiaomo now, so he chose to continue sleeping. He would rather believe that everything that happened today was a dream, and it would be fine as long as he woke up.
Seeing that Lan An was somewhat resistant to his touch, Zhang Xiaomo walked out of the room. He planned to ask his family what happened today and why Lan An was acting so abnormally.
After asking around, Zhang Xiaomo still didn't get the answer he wanted.
Zhang Xiaomo originally wanted to have a good talk with Lan An, but then he thought of what Brother Wu had asked him to do, so he had to go to the village chief to arrange things first.
Brother Wu was also very receptive to advice. Brother Xia gave him a lot of silver and money, and immediately called the village heads of all the villages together to discuss the matter. He said that the county government would pay to help the poor households in the village repair their houses, and he also stated the specific conditions and asked the village heads to go back and register.
Brother Wu asked Zhang Xiaomo to collect the grain and visit each village to see if the report from the village chief was true. After Zhang Xiaomo confirmed it, he would directly give the money to the village chief. The county magistrate would send yamen runners to supervise. This was also the reason why Zhang Xiaomo had been going out frequently recently.
There are more than 30 households in Lianhua Village that meet the requirements. Zhang Xiaomo went to talk to the village chief about this matter. Before the road construction, it was agreed that villagers who had paid enough money at home would not participate in this compulsory labor.
Zhang Xiaomo spent more than an hour with the village chief to determine the number of people who would work, and also determined the required materials, and asked Zhang Erbo to go to the county town to purchase them. He also asked Zhang Erbo to use the extra money to buy some food and distribute it directly to these families. Lan An also gave twenty cents to each of the other people who helped. The villagers had no objection to this result.
Lan An woke up and found Zhang Xiaomo gone. He looked around the empty room, not knowing why it had become like this. He couldn't understand why he and Zhang Xiaomo had both experienced life and death. Couldn't they stay together? (Pregnant women tend to overthink and be emo)
Lan An went to Aunt Wang's house. He hadn't chatted with Aunt Wang for a long time. Lan An didn't know where to go or what to do. He instinctively wanted to see the woman who gave her mother warmth.
Aunt Wang was very happy to see Lan An and started chatting with him. She could sense that Lan An was unhappy.
Although Jiusi is young, he is very good to Lin Ge'er. Lan An can feel it. Lin Ge'er is very happy now. For some reason, Lan An shed tears.
"Ang'er, what's wrong? You've been wronged."
"Auntie, are Zhang Xiaomo and I on good terms?"
"Ang'er, you're not talking nonsense. Everyone in Lotus Village knows that you two have the best relationship."
"Auntie, is Zhang Xiaomo a scholar?"
"Oh, silly kid, what's wrong? Why do you always ask stupid questions?"
Lan An seemed to understand that since ancient times, scholars have been the most romantic and ruthless. Lan An smiled sadly.
"I just read the storybook and I'm in a bad mood."
"Ang'er, listen to Auntie's advice. No matter what happens, put yourself first and love yourself well. If there's anything between you and your spouse, talk it out loud. Don't hide it. If you're truly unhappy together, don't force yourself. Ang'er, you're great and excellent, and you deserve the best."
"Auntie Wang, I understand. Why are you so nice?"
Lan An hugged Aunt Wang. Is this what it feels like to be loved by a mother? Lan An thought, this must be it. A mother’s embrace is very warm.
"Silly child, you are just a child after all, not much older than my brother Lin."
Lan An's mood calmed down a lot. Aunt Wang also told her a lot of gossip in the village. Lan An finally smiled happily. Lin Ge'er was a little jealous, but he could understand. He was married now. He felt that Lan An cared too much about Zhang Xiaomo. In such love, both parties would be easily hurt.
When Zhang Xiaomo returned home and didn't see Lan An, he couldn't help feeling a little panicked. He looked around the house and asked Aunt Li. He was relieved to learn that Lan An had gone to Aunt Wang's house and went there immediately.
When Zhang Xiaomo came to Aunt Wang's house, he saw Lan An smiling happily. He acted coquettishly and asked Aunt Wang to teach him how to embroider a purse. Zhang Xiaomo couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
"An An, shall we go home?"
"Brother Xiaomo, I want to go back later."
Zhang Xiaomo chatted with Jiusi for a few words and waited for Lan An on the side. Lin Ge'er looked at Zhang Xiaomo with a complicated expression. Jiusi pinched the back of Lin Ge'er's hand, and Lin Ge'er restrained his expression.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lan An did not stay any longer. He said goodbye to Aunt Wang with a smile and followed Zhang Xiaomo home.
"An An is very happy today."
"I'm glad. Aunt Wang is as warm as my mother."
On the way home, the two did not communicate. Zhang Xiaomo felt that Lan An was angry with him and seemed to be invisibly distancing herself from him, but he decided that he was wrong because Lan An was clearly acting normally.
After dinner, the two took a walk in the yard. As usual, this was the first time Lan An saw someone delivering a letter to Zhang Xiaomo, and Lan An just glanced at it indifferently.
Zhang Xiaomo accompanied Lan An for two rounds, and then they returned to the room. Lan An went to wash up, and Zhang Xiaomo sat at the desk reading letters. The food gap was still so big, and Lan An hesitated for a long time and decided to find an opportunity to ask Lan An for help.
"An An, can you help Brother Wu solve the food problem?"
"Brother Xiaomo, do you want my help?"
Zhang Xiaomo nodded
"Okay, I'll help, Brother Xiao. I'm sleepy, so I'm going to sleep first. Good night."
Lan An found that she could fall asleep without Zhang Xiaomo holding her.
After Zhang Xiaomo finished washing up, Lan An had already fallen asleep. This was the first time that Lan An did not wait for him to go to bed, but Zhang Xiaomo still held Lan An in his arms. He felt that there was more fat on his belly.
Zhang Xiaomo was still a little uncomfortable as it was the first time that Lan Euan didn't suck on her collarbone.
Lan An still pretended to be asleep as usual. After Zhang Xiaomo went out, Lan An would put grain in the granary at home, one or two times at a time, and put it together with the grain collected by Zhang Xiaomo.
Zhang Xiaomo and Brother Wu found an uninhabited room in a house near Lianhua Village to use as a warehouse. Every day, Zhang Xiaomo would ask Brother Man to transport the extra food at home in the evening, and Brother Wu would personally receive it there and take it back to the county town.
Lan'an is very sensible. He goes to the granary three times a day and only puts one or two grains in each time. Now there is a lot of food stored in the space. Lan'an really helps if he promises to help.
Lan Euan was not stupid either. He could feel that the food at home was decreasing. He also understood what Zhang Xiaomo meant. If the food became less, he would conjure up more food.
Brother Wu looked at the twenty or so dan of grain that were delivered every day. The quality was very good, so he didn't ask much. He was just very grateful to Zhang Xiaomo. However, they also knew that this grain was far from enough.
