My delicate husband

Time flies. Lan Euan has been in this strange dynasty for more than ten days and has gradually adapted to this slow-paced life.

During this period, Lan An cleaned the house from inside to outside, took apart some worn-out clothes and used them as rags. He originally thought that there was a lot of grain in the granary, but it was less than half in total, and there were still a lot of empty shells, which seemed to be enough to feed chickens.

The tables and chairs were a bit loose, so Lan'an planned to ask a carpenter to repair them. He didn't have the skills, so he didn't force him.

During this period, all the beddings were washed and dried, and Lan Euan was very tired, but the house looked much more comfortable. Although it was still a shabby house, it looked fresh and clean.

Guo Ge'er has also become much cleaner. Lan An really can't accept a black, snotty, dirty kid following him all the time. It's so disgusting to look at, and it makes one's scalp tingle.

The wheat and rice in the space were harvested twice, and the harvest was quite impressive. One acre of rice can be harvested 12 dan (one dan is equal to 100 jin) at a time, and one acre of wheat can be harvested 10 dan at a time. Through the system mall, all the rice was exchanged for cash, 150 wen at a time, a total of 600 liang wen

(The author has something to say: the space's yield is based on the average rice yield in Huaxia Country. The data comes from a certain Baidu. The average yield of one mu of land in Chuqi Country is only two or three times. Besides the large landowners, each household has five or six mu, and as few as one or two mu. Zhang Xiaomo's family has three mu.)

Wheat is used to exchange for rice seeds and 30 pepper seedlings, including 20 green peppers, 10 erjingtiao peppers, and 10 screw peppers. It only takes 20 days to mature. As an avid fan of spicy food, it is too uncomfortable to live without peppers. The rest are left in the space warehouse for backup.

Lan Euan quickly planted the exchanged seeds and seedlings, and after working in the space for several hours, he finally got it done.

When I woke up from my sleep, the sunlight poured in through the window, which was a bit dazzling. It was not good without curtains, so sleeping in became a luxury. However, the weather was good today, and Blue Eucalyptus was enjoying the late autumn sun, which was warm on her body.

After washing up, Lan'an prepared breakfast. There was no food left at home, just enough to make porridge. It seemed that she had to go to the market.

At the dinner table, Guo Ge'er was drinking porridge in big gulps.

"Anger, today's porridge is not as thick as before."

"Oh, there's no food at home."

"Not at all?"

“I’ve finished eating.”

"That's it. This food will last for two months."

Guo Ge'er had a sad face, but he didn't stop drinking his porridge. Zhang Xiaomo also had a worried look on his face, looking at Lan An several times, as if he had something to say.

"I'm going to the market, Guo Ge'er, are you coming?"

"Go, it just happened that I had a new handkerchief."

Guoge patted his head and then he remembered that his handkerchief could be exchanged for money.

Lan An looked at Zhang Xiaomo, feeling a little worried.

"Zhang Xiaomo, are you okay being home alone?"

"It's okay, don't worry, An Ge."

Lan An didn't say much. After the three of them finished their meal, they packed up and prepared to go to the market with Guo Ge'er. Although Lan An had the memories of the original owner, the market was still unfamiliar to him. After all, the original owner hadn't been to the market in a few years. With Guo Ge'er, they had some company. If he were alone, the Zhang family wouldn't be too worried.

The two walked to the east end of the village and took a ox cart, which cost two cents per person for a round trip. Lan An thought it was very cost-effective. After all, it took two hours to walk from Lianhua Village to the market (one hour is one hour, a setting made by the author), and it took four hours to go there and back, which was a waste of time and tiring.

Lan'an and Guo'er arrived earlier. There was no one on the ox cart. The driver was Uncle Zhang. His family had bought oxen, so he drove the cart during the non-busy farming season. An ox cart could seat 8 people. They could earn more than ten coins for a round trip a day, and about a hundred coins a month.

"Anger, are you going to the county town?"

"Yes, Uncle Zhang, are there many people going to the county town today?"

“There’s almost a carload of people.”

"That's good."

Guo Ge'er found a seat and sat down obediently, while Lan An chatted with Uncle Zhang.

The villagers of Lianhua Village can only save three or four taels of silver in a year. This job is still very enviable. Occasionally, someone can earn more by renting an ox cart, but not everyone can afford to sell a cow. In Lianhua Village, there are more than a hundred households, but there are only two cows. This shows how precious cows are. Of course, Uncle Zhang's family is also considered a good family in Lianhua Village.

Those who went to the market today included Doctor Li from the west end of the village, who went to the county town to buy medicinal herbs; and Aunt Chen and her little daughter Chen Cuizhu from the middle of the village. It was said that the little girl wanted to marry a man, a wealthy family from the next door village, who were willing to give the Chen family five taels of silver. Aunt Chen was very happy and took her to the county town to buy some jewelry.

The last person to arrive was Aunt Wang, the neighbor next door, with her son Lin Ge'er (Wang Linyi). Lin Ge'er was also fair and clean, and his clothes had no obvious patches. Aunt Wang was well-known for loving her children. The couple only had this one son, and she treated him like the apple of her eye.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Uncle Zhang set off in his ox cart.

Because the road was not very flat, it was a bit bumpy and not stable along the way. The ox cart swayed, just like the rocking horse his eldest brother took him to ride when he was a child. Lan An missed it a little, as it was one of the few joys he had in his previous life.

On a country road, an oxcart moved slowly forward, the creaking sound of its wooden wheels intertwined with the sound of the ox's hooves, like an ancient country ballad.

There are fields on both sides of the road, and a stream beside the fields is gurgling, the water is rippling, and the bottom is clear, like a mirror.

As the oxcart moved forward, the village gradually faded into the distance. The curls of smoke from the chimneys drifted in the air, adding a touch of warmth to the village.

In this tranquil atmosphere, time seems to slow down, allowing people to feel the simplicity and tranquility of rural life.

Two hours passed quickly, and before us appeared a tall and solid city wall. The wall was made of thick bricks and stones, with a flat and smooth surface, sparkling with ancient light in the sun.

There are also towering city gates standing on the city wall, with exquisite carvings and plaques above the gates, which read Yunling County.

This is the county town. Compared with Lianhua Village, it is much more prosperous, but not as lively as in costume TV dramas, and the houses are not as exquisite and elegant. The roads are paved with bluestone slabs and are about three or four meters wide, but they are very clean and tidy. The sounds of hawking are endless. The rooms here are all made of blue bricks and tiles, and the plaques are also uniform. There are waiters shouting in front of every shop, and the streets are bustling with people.

Uncle Zhang dropped off the villagers in front of a tea stall and told them to gather there at the end of the day (2 p.m.).

Guo Ge'er was going to a familiar embroidery shop, so he said goodbye to Lan An here and agreed to meet at the ox cart.

Because there were many things to buy, Lan An was afraid that he would not have enough time, so he gave Uncle Zhang five more cents, hoping that he could wait a little longer, and repeatedly assured him that he would finish the shopping as soon as possible.

"Ang'er, is this your first time in the county? I'm afraid you're not very familiar with it. How about I take you around?"

"Don't bother, just wait for me a little longer."

"It's okay, take your time, there's no rush."

"I see, Uncle Zhang, thank you."

According to Anger's memory, Lan An came to Han's Clothing Store. The clothes here were the cheapest in the county, with good quality and low price, and many styles. Lan An did not know needlework, so she planned to buy clothes here in the future, provided that the boss was nice.

As soon as he entered the store, the waiter greeted him warmly and did not look down on him because of his simple clothes.

"Sir, do you have any clothes you like? Would you like me to introduce them to you?"

"Do you have any winter clothes ready?"

"Then you've come to the right place. We have a wide variety of winter clothes, they're affordable, and we have them in all sizes."

Following the waiter's introduction, Lan An did not hesitate and bought three sets of winter clothes at once. He bought the sky blue one for Zhang Xiaomo, the goose yellow one for Guo Ge'er, and he bought the bamboo moon-colored one for convenience in work.

"Sir, you have excellent taste. Our shopkeeper said he'd be happy to have you as a customer and would give you five cents off each winter coat."

Lan'an thanked him with a smile and selected three large quilts weighing ten kilograms each. He was really fed up with the straw and reeds that were used as a mattress on his bed at home.

"Do you have any processed cotton? Give me 30 kilograms."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll install it for you right away."

Lan An thought that Guo Ge'er knew needlework, so it shouldn't be a big problem to ask him to help make two quilts. He just needed to buy a few more pieces of cloth. It just so happened that the quilt cover at home had been used for a long time, and he had wanted to replace it for a long time.

After looking at the budget, he bought another piece of good cloth, enough for the whole family to make a set of inner clothes. He planned to ask Aunt Wang next door to make it. She had good embroidery skills and dense stitches. It cost him a little more than one or two taels in total, which was cheaper than expected. The shopkeeper took the change and quickly packed it up.

Lan Euan came to a deserted place and secretly put the things into the space, leaving only a small package containing the family's winter clothes.

Lan Euan then visited several grocery stores and finally decided to buy things at a grocery store. In addition to food, there were also various seasonings, which was richer than the grocery store. Although it was a little more expensive, it was more convenient and did not have as many restrictions as the grocery store. As long as you paid generously, the boss was easy to talk to.

Lan'an bought 10 jin of polished rice (150 wen), 20 jin of brown rice (100 wen), 5 jin of polished flour (75 wen), 20 jin of brown flour (100 wen), 1 jin of coarse salt (20 wen), a jin of brown sugar (20 wen), a can of soybean oil (160 wen), and a can of aged vinegar (50 wen). Lan'an also found some dried small shrimps and dried mushrooms, and bought a jin of each (50 wen). He also bought 5 small rice bowls (15 wen), six plates (30 wen), and three soup bowls (36 wen). He spent a total of 806 wen, and gave him 6 wen after rounding off 800 wen. Seeing that Lan'an bought a lot of things, the boss gave him a backpack to carry the seasonings.

Lan An asked the waiter to deliver the things to an empty alley, left twenty kilograms of brown rice outside, and put the rest into the space.

Lan Euan also knew that he had bought too many things, which were very ostentatious and conspicuous. It would be safer to put them in a space. He was too weak now, so he would reduce trouble as much as possible.

Seeing that it was still early, Lan An went to the market and found a shop selling pork. He bought 5 pounds of pork, which was more fat and less lean meat (65 wen), and also asked for two large bones (8 wen). The meat was really shaved very cleanly, and not even a mosquito's leg could stand on it.

Lan Euan is not a meat lover, but he hasn't had any meat for half a month, so he is really craving for it. What's more, there are only half-grown boys in the family who need to grow up and can eat a lot.

When passing by a pharmacy on his way back, Lan An walked in without hesitation. After all, the seasonings for cooking meat dishes were only sold in pharmacies.

Lan An bought 5 taels of ginger (20 wen), 1 tael of cinnamon (100 wen), and 1 tael of star anise (200 wen). It was really expensive. He spent 320 wen on just a little bit of seasoning. Lan An felt that money was too easy to spend and too hard to earn. Now he had less than one tael of cash in his hand.

Lan An happened to come to the pharmacy and got two prescriptions for Zhang Xiaomo, which cost sixty cents. Doctor Li told her to get one prescription per week. Some time ago, because the family had no money, it took about ten days to prepare one prescription. Now that she has money, she still has to strictly follow the doctor's orders.

(The author has something to say. Here the author assumes that 1 jin has 10 liang.)

It was already late when they arrived at the ox cart parking place. Guo Ge'er had been waiting for him at the agreed place. After running around for a long time, Lan An was also very hungry. He bought 8 meat buns (four cents each. The meat buns here are very big. A normal adult can eat half of it. Two will make them full. Of course, people usually don't want to eat two meat buns in one meal.), gave two to Guo'er and one to Zhang Erbo. He ate two and wrapped the rest in oil paper in his arms and took it home for Zhang Xiaomo to eat.

Although most of them were put into the space, there was also a large backpack in Lan'an's backpack. Uncle Zhang took a casual look at Lan'an's backpack and was a little surprised.

"Why did you buy so many things, Ange?"

"Winter is coming soon. We don't have enough food at home, and we don't have any winter clothes to keep us warm, so I bought some."

"Alas, this year's harvest is not good, and life is difficult. You still have to plan your trip, otherwise you will have a hard time in winter."

"I see, Uncle Zhang, I know what's going on."

Guoge'er wolfed down the buns and pulled Ange'er aside, offering him the money from selling embroidery. After working hard for a month, he only earned about twenty cents, and buying needles, thread, and fabrics cost money, so the net profit was only about ten cents. Lan'an didn't want any of it and told Guoge'er to save it and ask him for it when he needed it. Guoge'er didn't say anything.

Everyone had gathered, and the oxcart slowly returned to the village. Lan Euan was tired after a day of wandering around, and as the oxcart swayed, Lan Euan slowly fell asleep.

"Ang'er, we're home," Guo Ge'er pushed the sleeping Lan Euan.

"Ah good."

Lan An got off the car without hesitation. Uncle Zhang looked at Lan An's big backpack and then at Lan An's thin body, and couldn't help but feel soft-hearted.

"Ang'er, your backpack is a bit heavy, let me give you a hand."

"Okay, thank you Uncle Zhang."

As the ox cart arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Zhang Xiaomo came out. The sunlight shone on his cheeks, as if it had coated him with a layer of light. Lan An thought of his cat again, the noble and cool cat.

Lan An didn't hesitate and walked quickly towards Zhang Xiaomo, taking out the meat bun from his arms, which was still a little warm.

"Zhang Xiaomo, you must be hungry. Come and eat."

"Angel, have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Xiaomo touched the warm buns and looked at Lan'an's shining eyes, his heart seemed to be filled with something.

"We've eaten. Guo Ge'er and I have already eaten. You should eat now."

The wind started to blow. Lan An helped Zhang Xiaomo walk into the guest room and put down the backpack. Zhang Xiaomo looked at the backpack and found that there were quite a lot of things in it.

Although Zhang Xiaomo didn't take care of the household, he still had a rough idea of ​​the remaining money in the family. He looked at Lan An in confusion, a little surprised at where An Ge'er got so much money. Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't ask too much.

Lan'an casually placed the backpack on the table, took out the clothes and medicine, and planned to go to the kitchen to boil water. He said that he would take out the food and seasonings in the space.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

“Delicious, very delicious.”

"I think it's good too. As long as you like it, I'm going to clean up the kitchen. Boil some hot water. It's getting late, so go to bed early. You'll be busy tomorrow."

In fact, the buns were cold and not as delicious as those freshly baked. The meat was also a little hard and the meat aroma was not obvious. They were not as delicious as the ones his mother made when she was alive, but Zhang Xiaomo still felt that these were the best buns he had ever eaten.

Guo Ge'er followed Lan An to the kitchen. Seeing that there was not enough water in the water tank, he took a wooden bucket to the well to get water.

"Anger, I'm going to get some water."

"Okay, I'll pick it up when the time comes. You fill the water and wait for me."

Lan Euan took out the things in the space and sorted them out. There wasn't much stuff, so it was sorted out quickly. He figured Guoge's water tank was about to be full, so he went to fetch some water.

"Anger, you're really on time."

"It's getting dark. Let's go back quickly. The water needs to be boiled."

When they returned home, the hot water was quickly boiled. Guo Ge'er fetched water to wash himself, while Lan An fetched hot water for Zhang Xiaomo to wash.

"Zhang Xiaomo, put the kettle next to your bed. If your throat is uncomfortable, drink more water and go to bed early."

"Anger, thank you for your hard work today."

"Good night, Zhang Xiaomo."

"Good night, Bluegum."

After a busy day, I finally lay down on the bed. It was so comfortable. Lan Euan was really tired and didn't care about the hardness of the bed. She fell asleep quickly.
