My delicate husband

Chapter 139: Choosing Eucalyptus Trees

Lan An woke up as soon as the sky was getting light, while Zhang Xiaomo was still sleeping beside him.

Zhang Xiaomo has been really tired recently, with dark circles under his eyes, and Lan An feels very distressed.

Lan An regretted that he had agreed to Brother Xia so decisively. Now everything fell on Zhang Xiaomo, and he regretted taking revenge on Brother Wu.

Sometimes Lan An really wanted to live in seclusion with Zhang Xiaomo. What did other people's life and death have to do with him? He didn't care. This was an era of cannibalism. But he found that he was reluctant to leave. Here he had the maternal love he had always longed for and the friends he had longed for for a long time.

Lan'an's face looked a little distorted in the dark night, completely different from his usual gentle and obedient self. He hadn't had these random thoughts for a long time, as there had been too many things going on recently.

The light from outside the window shone into the room. Zhang Xiaomo frowned. Lan An guessed that he was about to wake up, so he controlled his emotions. He didn't want to make Zhang Xiaomo worry.

Zhang Xiaomo opened her eyes and saw her lover beside her. His cute and adorable face and sleepy eyes made her feel soft-hearted. Zhang Xiaomo finally couldn't help but pinched his face, and the feeling was as good as always.

"An An, wake up~"

"Brother Xiaomo, rub..."

"An An, didn't you say we were going to go shopping on East Street together? Don't tease me, baby."

Zhang Xiaomo knew that Lan An was grumpy when getting up, so she quickly hugged him and coaxed him to get up. She kissed and hugged him, and after coaxing him for half an hour, Lan An was finally satisfied and was willing to get up.

"An An, wear this today."

"You have to wear the same thing as Brother Xiaomo."

"Okay, I'll listen to An An."

Zhang Xiaomo quickly put on his clothes and patiently dressed Lan'an. As long as they got up together, he would wear Lan'an's clothes. He was willing to do anything for Lan'an. After all, his lover was too obedient and gentle, and he really wanted to do everything he had to pamper Lan'an.

"An An, wake up, you little sleepyhead."

The two of them packed up and walked out of the room. Brother Han and Brother Man were already waiting at the door. The four of them looked at each other and felt a little exhausted.

"Little Master, are we going to East Street now?"

"Well, you guys come along."

The group walked towards the market. Lan'an's stomach growled. Zhang Xiaomo smiled dotingly, while Lan'an glared at him dissatisfiedly.

"Good boy An An, don't be angry. It's your husband who is hungry. What would you like for breakfast?"

"Brother Xiaomo, I want to eat fresh meat wontons."

"Okay. How about another fresh meat bun?"

"it is good."

Brother Man and Brother Han also came to the wonton shop together. It was their first time to come to this shop, but the owner should have been there for a long time. As soon as the four of them walked in, the owner greeted them warmly with a familiar tone.

"Oh, sir, you've brought your husband again. Let's just do as usual. Just sit back and relax for a while."

"Did these two come with you? What would you like to eat?"

"Yeah, two orders of wontons, one large and one medium, no scallions on either."

"We'll have two large portions of wonton stew."

"Okay, please sit down and wait for a moment. There are pickles on the table. You can try them."

Lan An tasted the pickles on the table. They were sour and quite appetizing. Lan An liked them very much. Brother Man took a bite and found them a bit sour. Brother Han thought they were pretty good. Zhang Xiaomo got up to buy some fresh meat buns.

Lan An watched the interaction between the two old men with envy in his eyes. Brother Han looked at the people beside him and felt a little sad.

"Little boss, you come to this store often."

"Yeah, this wonton stew is very good. This old couple has a very good relationship and has supported each other for decades."

"Little boss, are you envious?"

"Brother Han, aren't you envious?"

Lan An is envious. Lan An is a nostalgic person. It is said that people spend their whole lives healing their childhood selves. It is indeed true. Even though Zhang Xiaomo has given Lan An what he lacked in his previous life, he is still worried about gains and losses.

China is developing too fast and the emotions between people are too cold. His parents' marriage was originally a marriage of convenience and there is not much affection between them. They just maintain the superficial glory for the sake of the wealthy family's face.

Lan An never thought that he was lucky to live in this era. Although the transportation was slow, he could love one person for his whole life. Although the feelings were plain, they were sincere.

The old woman saw the envy in Lan'an's eyes and joked:

"My dear husband, your husband is so kind to you."

"Why does the old woman say that?"

"Just look at the tone of his voice when he talks to you and the look in his eyes. You don't have to envy us. You will be together until old age. The wontons will be ready soon. Eat them while they're hot."

"Thank you, mother-in-law."

Brother Han was a little surprised to see Lan'an so docile. Looking at Brother Man who was busy eating, Brother Han felt that the road to pursuing his wife was long and arduous.

Zhang Xiaomo came back soon. In addition to buying buns, he also bought sesame balls, which were all Lan'an's favorites.

"Be careful, it's hot. You don't have to eat it all. If you can't finish it, give it to me."

"I know, Brother Xiaomo."

Lan An couldn't remember how many times Zhang Xiaomo had eaten his leftover food. It seemed like it had become a habit. They would probably be as happy as this shop owner.

"Xiaohan, are you full?"

"Are you not full?"

"Hey, I'm going to buy two buns, do you want some?"

"Take one."

Brother Man agreed immediately and stood up and walked out of the store.

"Brother Han, do you like Brother Man?"

"Little Master, is it obvious?"

"Yeah, but I think Brother Man should like me."

"I know."

Brother Han smiled somewhat bitterly, and Lan An didn't say anything. After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they went to East Street. The market on East Street was very lively. Ever since Guo Ge'er fell in love with Song Hanzi, Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo didn't like to come to East Street anymore.

"Young Master, do you want to buy a fruit tree?"

"Brother Han, please pick some. I want to plant more and also some in my yard."

"Okay, don't worry."

Lan An plans to plant peach trees all over the yard, but he also wants to plant persimmon trees in the corners of the yard so that when the peach blossoms bloom, he can enjoy the flowers with Zhang Xiaomo. He likes to watch Zhang Xiaomo paint.

Lan Euan also plans to dig a small pond and plant lotus flowers, so that he can enjoy the lotus and eat lotus seeds. It would be best if he could raise some fish in it.

The variety of fruit trees is very complete, including some less common ones. The blue gum was a bit surprising. He had been worried that the varieties were too single, but he did not expect there would be such a complete range of types.

Zhang Xiaomo saw Lan An's eyes shining and the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. His An An was so easy to understand. Whenever he met someone he liked, his almond-shaped eyes would be full of brilliance, more beautiful than glass, making people want to cherish and protect them unconsciously.

"Brother Xiaomo, let's plant peach trees all over the yard, but also persimmon trees in the four corners. I promised to plant a patch of bamboo for you, but I forgot about it. I picked them all this time."

"Okay, does An An like peaches?"

"It's okay. I think the peach grove is very beautiful. Brother Xiaomo will like it. The yard is large and empty, so it would be nice to plant peach trees around it."

Looking at the hawkers' calls, Lan An pulled Zhang Xiaomo and randomly picked one to walk over.

Brother Han also went to choose, but Brother Man didn't understand much and already felt like a hard laborer.

"Uncle, how much do you want to sell this fruit tree for?"

"My dear young master, you have a very good eye. All my fruit trees are top-notch."

The peddler introduced his products incessantly and Lan An listened patiently. Although Zhang Xiaomo knew that there was a lot of exaggeration in his introduction and his face showed some impatience, he watched Lan An in high spirits and accompanied him patiently.

After a while, the vendor still showed no intention of stopping. Zhang Xiaomo pinched Lan'an's fingers, and Lan'an looked at him in confusion.

"An An, some fruit trees are hard to grow here. Except for apples and peaches, the others are hard to grow."

Zhang Xiaomo knew that blue eucalyptus had its special features in planting, but she was still afraid of seeing his disappointed look. After struggling for a long time, she finally whispered a reminder in Lan'an's ear.

Lan Euan leaned in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, smiling sweetly, and her tone was unconsciously soft.

"Brother Xiaomo, I know."

Lan Euan picked the basic persimmons, apples, peaches, pears, and oranges. After some hesitation, he finally chose longan. He really loves longan. He has been here for a year and a half, and has never eaten fresh fruit except watermelon. It’s a bit miserable to think about it.

The vendor was very happy to see that there were a lot of blue gums picked, and he gave away ten blue gums and pomegranate trees for free, saying that they were brought from the Western Regions.

The vendor tried to grow it but found that it would not bear fruit at all. Seeing that many blue gums were sold, he wanted to give him some pomegranate trees as a token of his gratitude. It would be a waste to just let him have them all.

Lan Euan was surprised to hear about the pomegranates, and without hesitation, he politely thanked them. He wasn't worried. Even if they couldn't survive in the ground, they would definitely thrive in the open space. In his current state, he still needed to eat more fruit, as he personally preferred sour foods.

Zhang Xiaomo paid the money and agreed with the vendor to deliver the goods to Lianhua Village at noon the day after tomorrow. The vendor happily agreed when he saw the silver in his hand.

Brother Han also picked some. After all, the planting area of ​​blue eucalyptus is large and the quantity needed is large. Brother Han also went to several houses before he could collect the quantity of five acres.

Blue Eucalyptus personally selected the bamboo. It took him a long time to choose. He chose Phyllostachys pubescens, which is mainly for viewing, and chose the more expensive variety for Blue Eucalyptus.

"Little Master, you really like bamboo."

"Yes, Brother Man, don't you think Zhuzi and Brother Xiaomo are a good match?"

"The young master is right."

Although Brother Man didn't understand Lan'an's meaning, it would definitely not be a mistake to choose to agree with him.

The group walked around again and came to Xu Tingsong's previous stall. Lan An thought of Guo Ge'er.

"Brother Xiaomo, I miss Brother Guo a little bit. He hasn't sent any letters this month."

"An An, don't worry about Guo Ge'er. You are the most important. The doctor said that you can't worry too much."

"I know. Brother Xiaomo can't be too tired."

The four of them strolled around for a while. Spring plowing was about to begin, and the county town was quite lively. There were many vendors selling seeds, and there were also many newly hatched chicks and ducklings. There were even some living rabbits, which must have been shot by hunters, and they were still very fresh.

"Little Master, we don't have any chickens or ducks at home. Do you want to catch some and take them back?"

"Then let's have ten each."

"An An, rabbit."

Lan Euan looked at the rabbit and stopped. He hadn't eaten spicy rabbit for a long time.

"Brother Xiaomo, are you going to raise a rabbit?"

"An An, you can raise him if you want."

"Forget it. Raising rabbits smells terrible. They're so plump, of course they have to be eaten right away."

"Then listen to An An, let's buy them all back."

The hunter was very happy to see that Blue Eucalyptus had taken all of them. He even gave Blue Eucalyptus a little rabbit, which Blue Eucalyptus accepted.

"An An, let's go back to the village."

"Brother Xiaomo, go to the clothing store and buy some clothes before returning to the village."

The four of them went to the clothing store again. Zhang Xiaomo bought three sets of soft spring clothes for Lan An, but he didn't buy any because there were too many clothes at home. Brother Man and Brother Han each picked out two sets.

After almost buying everything, the group returned to Lotus Village.
