My delicate husband

"An An, wake up."

"Brother Xiaomo, sleep a little longer, I'm sleepy."

"Aren't you buying lunch boxes today? An An."

Lan An woke up instantly when he heard about buying lunch boxes, but Zhang Xiaomo's arms were so warm that he couldn't help but rub against them.

"Brother Xiaomo, hug me for a while longer."

"An An, why don't you not go today? You're so tired."

"Yes, we're going. We prepared some extra today. Carpenter Li also sent over fifteen more plates."

Lan An didn't hesitate. He kissed Zhang Xiaomo's collarbone, sucked on it to leave a mark, and got up quickly.

Guo Ge'er was already boiling water in the kitchen, and Lan An quickly steamed the rice. They had to prepare more today and also made more pancakes.

"Anger, I cooked more rice today than before."

"Yes, I prepared 75 servings today, so I cooked more rice."

While the rice was being steamed, Lan'an was steaming corn cakes, and Guo Ge'er was also learning by the side. He also wanted to help Ang'er, after all, it was too tiring to do it alone.

"Anger, do you want me to help you? I can."

"Don't worry, I'll call you if I need help next time."

Lan Euan quickly blanched the pancakes and started preparing the vegetarian dishes. Today she had stir-fried spinach and scrambled eggs with leeks.

"Ang'er, there aren't many eggs left at home."

"Get all these ready, and go to the market to buy more later. For breakfast, make braised pork ribs, stir-fried yams, and a simple seaweed egg soup. Brother Xiaomo likes sweet food."

"Anger, you really dote on my brother too much."

"You'll encounter it later."

The lunch boxes sold very well today. A big customer came, who was the person in charge of the dock. He was worried about the meals for the workers. He heard someone recommend the lunch boxes from Lan'an. He found them delicious and the portions were quite large, so he ordered thirty. Lan'an also gave him a discount, saving one cent per box.

The rest were also sold out very quickly. Many shopkeepers from nearby shops came to Lan'an to buy lunch boxes and add braised meat. Lan'an originally thought that it would take longer to sell today, but unexpectedly it sold out faster than the previous two days.

"Young boss, your lunch box business is so popular, you need to prepare more."

"Definitely tomorrow."

Lan An closed the stall with a smile and went to the pork shop to pick up the goods. He also ordered five more pounds of pork offal, a pig skin, two pounds of meat, and five more pounds of brown rice and flour. Lan An also bought two cans of soybean oil, a can of vinegar, and did not forget to buy 100 eggs.

"Anger, your business is really good."

"Uncle Zhang, may I borrow your auspicious words."

When they got home, the aunts started working on their own without Lan'an's instructions. They were happy that Ang'er's lunch box business was good. They could earn twenty cents for working for a maximum of two hours a day, which was really a good deal. Young men from Lianhua Village could only earn thirty or forty cents carrying packages in the town for a whole day, and they were still exhausted.

Lan An took the small box containing the money back to the room. With Guo Ge'er watching outside, Lan An felt relieved.

"Brother Xiaomo, I'm back."

"An An, open it, give me a hug."

Lan An leaned in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, poured out the money he earned today, and the two of them counted the money happily together.

"A total of 300 wen for one tael, An An is really amazing."

"Brother Xiaomo, we can earn six or seven hundred coins every day now. I plan to buy a cow in a month. I plan to go to the town and hire two farmhands to help with the spring plowing."

"It's fine, An An, I don't want you to be too tired."

"I'm not tired, Brother Xiaomo. I plan to build a public well for the village."

"An An, why do you have this idea?"

Lan Eucalyptus hesitated for a while, not knowing how to start, but he had to get the hundred-year-old wild ginseng Lan Eucalyptus.

"An An, it's okay if you don't want to tell me. Is it related to your little secret?"

"Yes, we need to build ten wells for the village. I plan to build two first."

"An An, no matter what you do, I support you."

"Then can I go hunting in the back mountains?"

"An An, I don't want to go. It's too dangerous."

"Okay. I won't go if you don't agree."

Lan An chatted with Zhang Xiaomo for a while, and seeing that he was not in a good mood, she quickly coaxed him to sleep.

"An An, I want to see you when I wake up."

"Go to sleep quickly, and I'll be right in front of you when you wake up."

After Zhang Xiaomo fell asleep, Lan An left the room. The aunts worked quickly and sat together to chat when they were bored.

"Anger, Mo Hanzi has fallen asleep."

"Yeah, just went to bed."

"He's a little uneasy since you're not at home. You two really have a good relationship."

"Auntie Wang, you're teasing me again."

Lan An took out the copper coins he had prepared and paid the aunts their wages for today. Guo Ge'er was a little bored, so Lan An asked him to go to the village chief's house.

"Brother Guo, please help me run this errand. I have something to ask the village chief."

"Anger, what's the matter?"

"Sister Lan, it's not a big deal. I want to build a public well for the village."

"A well costs a lot of money, and your husband's medical treatment also costs a lot of money, so why would you help the village build a well?"

"As you know, my husband is in poor health. I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed of a god who told me that if I wanted Brother Xiaomo to be healthy, I had to repair a well in the village and do more good deeds. I asked a doctor from the county town to see me a few days ago, and he told me there was hope of a cure. I think I should still listen to the god."

"Anger, you...ah, it's not easy for you either."

"Don't worry, aunties. I've made some money from doing some small business. When the weather warms up, I'll go hunting in the mountains."

"You can't do that. The mountains behind are very dangerous, and you might not even survive to earn that much money."

Lan An just smiled. The aunts had originally planned to go home, but now they planned to wait for the village chief to come and listen to Lan An's plan to build a well.

After waiting for a while, Guo Ge'er came over with the village chief.

"Brother An, what's the matter that has you urgently called me here? Now everyone in the village says that you are a capable person. Your lunch box business is doing well."

"It's OK. I can make a little money. I came to you to talk about the public well in the village."

"What's wrong with the village's public well?"

Lan Euan repeated his previous reasons. Fortunately, everyone believed in supernatural powers and ghost science. Moreover, the number of public wells in the village increased, so it would be more convenient for villagers to use water. This was a good thing.

"Ang'er, this is your decision alone. You should discuss it with Mo Hanzi."

"Uncle Zhang, you've always said I'm a hot-tempered person. I've discussed this with my husband, and he agrees. Besides, I have the final say in my family."

"You brother."

"Uncle Zhang, you know that Brother Xiaomo is my life. No matter how hard or difficult my life is, I just want him to live well, even if I have to support him for the rest of his life.

The village is so big and has so many people. It is not convenient to use water from two public wells. Moreover, there are 20 households without men, so it is difficult to get water. It would be more convenient to have more wells.

My brother An is not a kind person either. I just hope that if my family needs help in the future, everyone can lend us a hand. We don’t ask for gratitude, we just hope that no one will stab us in the back. "

"Ang'er, you are so thoughtful. On behalf of the whole village, I, an old man, thank you."

The geographical location of Lianhua Village is relatively good, surrounded by mountains and rivers.

Lianhua Village is located at the foot of a mountain. Mountain spring water converges into a small river, which is the main source of water for the village.

The village has five main roads, two horizontal and three vertical, but most villagers live on the horizontal roads, with a few on the vertical ones.

The village is surrounded by mountains of varying sizes. The fields are clustered together, but the land is fragmented, with much wasteland. The two wells in the village are also on a horizontal line.

"Uncle Zhang, you know that Aunt Wang has helped my family the most, so I built this public well right in front of Aunt Wang's house."

"Okay, you pay, and I'll do whatever you want."

Lan An gave three taels of silver to the village chief, who did not delay and went directly to find Li the well-digger to arrange the well digging.

"Anger, thank you, Auntie."

"No need to thank me, I will repair it. I will choose the doorstep of each of you aunts' houses when the time comes. I will remember that you all helped me, An Ge'er."

"Angel, you are so polite."

The aunts were very happy to hear Lan Euan's words. So, it's not without reason that the boss likes to make empty promises. After chatting for a while, the aunts also went home. It would be time to prepare dinner soon.

"Ang'er, why do you want to dig a well for them? Doesn't my brother need a lot of money?"

"Brother Guo, I do this just for Brother Xiaomo's cakes. Three or two taels is not much, and I can earn it in a week."

"Ok."

Guo Ge'er nodded, not quite understanding what he was saying. Although he was not very happy about it, he believed in An Ge'er.

"Go to Aunt Wang's house and get some beans to stew pig's feet for dinner."

"it is good."

Guoge'er now listens to Lan'an. He looks forward to whatever delicious food Lan'an makes. He has a blind confidence that Lan'an's cooking must be delicious.

Lan Euan braised the washed meat. He had a lot of free time, so he boiled the cornmeal so that he could get up later in the morning.

For dinner, Lan'an made braised hairtail fish, vinegar-fried Chinese cabbage, pig's trotters stewed with soybeans, and steamed eggs. The three of them enjoyed the meal very much.

"Brother An, Brother Lin told me that the Lantern Festival is coming soon. Shall we go to the Lantern Festival?"

"It depends on the situation. I probably won't go."

"Well, the Lantern Festival is quite fun."

"Brother Xiaomo, the Lantern Festival is coming soon. We still have two months before you can start treatment."

"An An, it's okay, I will treat it well."

"I'll definitely save enough money before then."

"I believe in An An."

"Brother Xiaomo, do you want to watch the Lantern Festival?"

"No, but I want to celebrate the Lantern Festival with An An."

"Okay, I also want to spend the Lantern Festival with Brother Xiaomo."
