My delicate husband

"Anger, are we really not going to sell lunch boxes today?"

"Today is a day off. I'm going to fix the bathroom at home today. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"

"Well, I just feel like it would be a shame not to sell it. It's such a huge sum of money."

"Brother Guo, you have to know that you can never make enough money. Don't make money just for the sake of making money."

"Anger, I don't understand. Anyway, whatever you say is what it is."

Lan An rarely had a day off, and now he finally understood the feeling of being forced to punch in for work on time every day.

I have been eating rice or noodles for breakfast in the past half month. Lan'an is craving for buns. Today, I have some time, so I plan to make three kinds of buns, one with fresh meat filling, one with brown sugar filling, and one with vegetable filling.

As soon as the buns were put into the pot, Zhu the bricklayer came with his tools, followed by two children who obediently helped their father to get the tools.

"Bricklayer Zhu, you're here so early."

"There's nothing wrong at home, so I came a little early."

"Have you eaten yet? I made some steamed buns, you can have some later."

"No need, I've already had porridge at home."

After a brief communication, Lan An took Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, to the inner room. Zhang Xiaomo had not gotten up yet and the workers had not arrived yet, so Lan An asked Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, to take a look first and start work later.

Zhu the bricklayer took out his tools, measured, made some marks and left the room. He had a rough plan in mind and just had to wait for people to arrive.

"An An, have the people going to work arrived yet?"

"Brother Xiaomo, you have to get up. You can't stay in the room today."

"Okay, An An, I'll get up now."

"You need to take medicine today. I'll make it for you later."

"An An, can you not drink? I'll feel sleepy after drinking. I want to stay with An An for a while longer today."

"Then let's drink it before going to bed, okay? Brother Xiaomo, you can't not take the medicine."

"Okay, An An is the best."

The villagers arrived quickly. Lan An assigned the tasks for today. Everyone made their own assignments without Lan An's help, and Lan An followed their lead. They just had to wait for the work to be completed and be paid.

"Anger, are the buns cooked yet? I'm so hungry."

"Brother Guo, you're almost becoming a little fat boy."

"I'm not fat at all. Aunt Wang said this is all a blessing."

"It will be over in a moment. Move a chair to the yard and take a book. Brother Xiaomo will be staying in the yard for a while."

"I know, my brother is really lucky."

The steamed buns were ready. They were hot and soft right out of the pot. Lan'an gave a meat bun to Zhang Xiaomo and made him a cup of brown sugar and egg soup, asking him to sit down and eat slowly.

The meat buns smelled delicious. Zhu Ni's two children couldn't help swallowing their saliva, and looked at Zhang Xiaomo from time to time. Even though they wanted to eat very much, they didn't make a fuss and leaned obediently against the dean's side.

Guo Ge'er also took two buns and started eating. The child kept staring at Guo Ge'er with envy and desire in his eyes. Guo Ge'er felt a little bit sorry when he saw it. He thought about how he used to envy others in this way.

"Anger, can I give them some buns?"

"Sure, give them two each."

"Angel, you are so nice."

"Don't come here, practice calligraphy with me this afternoon."

"Okay, you're afraid of your brother too, right? I've been slapped on the palm of my hand a lot before."

The two children did not dare to take the buns from Guo Ge'er. Finally, Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, nodded. The two children accepted them and whispered thank you to Guo Ge'er. After a while, the three of them were making grasshoppers together, and Lan Euan let them do what they wanted.

There was the sound of horse hooves outside the yard, and the villagers in the yard looked over curiously. Lan An heard the sound and looked up at the gate of the yard. It was the owner of the carpentry shop who came in person to deliver the goods, with two full horse-drawn carts.

"Little boss, are you going to build a house?"

"If you have this plan, boss, please deliver the goods in person."

"You're welcome. I have to thank you. The furniture on your drawings made me a small fortune. From now on, if you need any furniture, just come to my shop and order it. It's all free."

"You are too polite, shopkeeper."

Since there was no tea at home, Lan An poured a glass of boiled water for Shopkeeper Xia. Shopkeeper Xia took the water and asked the waiter to unload the goods. The villagers also came over to help. After the unloading was completed, the yard was filled with furniture.

"Anger, your furniture is really beautiful. They are all rare items."

"Brother Daren, if you like it, you can go to the shopkeeper and order it."

"That's right, fellow villagers, come to my place and I'll give you discounts."

Zhang Xiaomo also put down the book, walked behind Lan An, put his arms around Lan An's waist, and rested his head on Lan An's shoulder, clearly declaring his sovereignty.

"Is this your husband? He's such a handsome man."

"Thank you for the compliment, shopkeeper."

"It looks like the couple has a good relationship, which is really enviable. How do you arrange the furniture? Do you need help?"

"Let's do it later. Let's put the furniture in place after the room and bathroom are ready."

"You don't mind if I take a look around."

"It's the shopkeeper's choice."

Shopkeeper Xia looked around the courtyard and was still shocked. It was the first time he saw such a shabby house, but it was very tidy and warm. It seemed that this couple was extraordinary.

As expected, he was not disappointed. As soon as he walked into the living room, he saw a novel cabinet. He knew that he would definitely gain something this time. The furniture he sent to the capital last time was very popular among the nobles. He made a lot of money. Not only did he make up for the loss in business, he also gave Yan Chu a lot of money and received a lot of praise.

"Young boss, what kind of cabinet is this? It's quite unique. Was it designed by you and your husband?"

"Yes, this is a bookcase. There is also one in the inner room. You can go in and take a look."

"This design is really wonderful. Can you sell me the blueprint? I'll give you 10 taels of silver."

This bookcase is simply tailor-made for scholars, and it is quite suitable for displaying collections. Shopkeeper Xia thinks this is a great business opportunity. He can cheat the wealthy families in the capital out of a large sum of money, and also make a lot of money from scholars. Any scholar who sees it will be tempted.

"Sure, I'll get the blueprint for you right now."

"Young Boss, you are so surprised here. It's not in vain for Xia to come here today."

After getting the blueprints, Shopkeeper Xia didn't stay for long. He wanted to start production as soon as possible to make money. After saying goodbye to Lan An, he happily got on the carriage and left.

When everyone saw Manager Xia leave, they all felt that Lan An was really capable and had made friends with important people in the city. They also understood why the Zhang family had recently bought land and dug a well. They must have made a lot of money.

"Brother An, that shopkeeper is very rich and a big businessman, right? You have a good relationship with him, right?"

"Brother Zhang, if you need to buy furniture in the future, you can go to him. He owns the largest woodworking workshop in the county."

"I can really get a discount if I mention your name. I want to buy a dressing table for my wife."

"It's OK. Brother Daniu really loves his wife."

The villagers looked at the furniture in Lan Euan's yard again, and touched it with great admiration. However, they did not chat for too long and continued to work, thinking of earning more money so that they could use such good furniture in the morning.

"Angel, is this bed for me?"

"Yes, do you like it?"

"Angel, I like you so much. You are so nice."

To make it easier for Zhu Ma's masons to work, Lan An had the villagers empty the room, except for the bookcase. Actually, there wasn't much in the room: a wardrobe, a bed, a chair, a desk, three large empty boxes, a small stool, two wooden basins for washing, an iron stove, and a dressing table with a bronze mirror.

After everything was cleared out, Zhu the mason led a few skilled villagers to begin repairing the washroom. It took less than half a day, and after two days of drying in the shade, it was ready for use. A small ditch outside the house had also been dug, making it very convenient for pouring water. Lan An was very satisfied with the work, but also felt sorry for Zhu the mason, believing such excellent craftsmanship was wasted in such a small village.

After the bathroom was repaired, Lan'an arranged for someone to put the new furniture in.

The first thing to be placed was the big bed. Blue Eucalyptus chose to put it against the corner, still in its original place. Blue Eucalyptus glued a piece of moon-white cloth on the wall, which was equivalent to wallpaper. In this way, the bed could be placed against the wall without worrying about mud and dust on the wall falling on the bed.

Then place a bedside table one inch away from the bed, on which a kerosene lamp can be placed. The small drawer in the bedside table is used to store some daily necessities, and of course, the books that Zhang Xiaomo often reads before going to bed are also placed in it.

The wardrobes were placed side by side, all against the right vertical wall. The dressing table with a bronze mirror was placed under the window, and the sofa was placed in the middle, facing the bookcase. The desk was still in its previous position. With all the furniture arranged, the room felt a little crowded.

The bed and the bathroom are separated by a screen. The furniture is all brand new and made of high-quality elm wood. It looks very expensive. The overall layout of the room is very elegant and does not look like a rural house.

The bed in Guoge'er's room was also replaced. Lan'an put the original cabinet and desk in his room in Guoge'er's room. Guoge'er liked them very much. Lan'an planned to find time to help him customize a dressing table.

Lan'an also did not forget to put their original big bed into the room where idle things were stored. Of the four boxes, Lan'an kept one and didn't want the rest. He also didn't want the other two beds, so he threw them in the yard, planning to chop them up and use them as firewood when he had time.

"Ang'er, you don't want this box and bed anymore?"

"Brother Shuitian, I don't want this anymore. You can take it home if you want."

"Okay, I'll take a box back to pack my things."

"I want a bite too."

After half a day, the homestead was also cleaned up. Lan An paid the wages promptly. The room had not yet been tidied, so he had to clean it up and prepare lunch for tomorrow, so he had a lot of work to do.

"Brother Guo, clean your room yourself."

"Don't worry, An Ge'er. It's none of your business."

"Brother Xiaomo, you stay in the sun for a while. I'll clean up the room. You must be tired."

"An An, it's okay, no rush."

Lan'an took half an hour to clean up the room. The new bed was spacious and soft, and Lan'an liked it very much. However, he had to buy two new sheets because some of the previous ones were worn out and looked uncomfortable.

"Okay, you can go back to your room now."

"An An, this sofa is very comfortable."

"Brother Xiaomo, you can sit on the sofa and read a book from now on, or lie down on it and rest occasionally."

"An An is awesome."

Zhang Xiaomo read for a while, but his body couldn't hold on any longer. Lan An coaxed him to sleep, and he had to prepare dinner. He almost forgot to boil Zhang Xiaomo's medicine.

For dinner, Lan An made seafood porridge. The dishes I have been eating recently are all the same. Lan An plans to go to the market tomorrow to have a good look around and change the dishes. I will get tired of eating the same thing all the time.

The arrival of Manager Xia brought quite a shock to the villagers of Lianhua Village. Lan'an's new furniture was also talked about by the villagers. Of course, these had nothing to do with Lan'an. He was worried about what to eat every day. No matter how delicious the pork was, he would get tired of it if he ate it every day.

We replaced the table and chairs in the living room, and the original table was placed in the kitchen. The table in the kitchen was too broken, so the stools were placed in the living room. Otherwise, there would be no stools to sit on whenever there were more people.

With the new rice bucket and cabinets, the kitchen is finally less messy. I cleaned it up simply and was very satisfied. Now I can buy any plates I like and take them home without worrying about having no place to put them.

At night, Lan An was very satisfied sleeping on the new bed. The new bed did not make any noise, and Zhang Xiaomo could sleep more comfortably.

"Brother Xiaomo, do you like our new bed?"

"I like it very much, An An."

“I really want to build a house quickly.”

"An An, it's great to have you."

"Brother Xiaomo, can I go hunting in the back mountain?"

"No."

"Zhang Xiaomo, I'm going to bite you to death."

"Hiss~ An An, stop rubbing, be good, be gentle..."
