My delicate husband

After returning to the courtyard, Zhang Xiaomo felt a little sleepy. Lan An felt distressed and asked Zhang Xiaomo to go back to the room to rest first, as he still had some things to deal with.

Lan An coaxed Zhang Xiaomo to sleep first and then called Chun, Xia, Qiu and Dong to a meeting.

"Brother Man, the carriage isn't very comfortable to sit in. I'll give you five taels of silver. Go with Bai Lu to decorate the carriage and make the cushions softer."

"You four, go to Lotus Village at this time every morning to find Brother Xu. He will assign you tasks. Come back with Brother Xie. If anything happens, let me know."

Lan An gave some brief instructions and went to the kitchen. He was going to start preparing dinner and also prepare bath water for Zhang Xiaomo.

For dinner, Lan An prepared something rather casual: scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which was Zhang Xiaomo's favorite. He coaxed her to get up and eat dinner, then accompanied her to take a medicinal bath. Zhang Xiaomo woke up from his sleepiness and felt much more energetic.

Guo Ge'er has gotten used to it now. His brother is spoiled to death by Ang'er. As long as Lan'an is around, he has to be fed and coaxed to eat. The four people, spring, summer, autumn and winter, who were at home just now were quite surprised, but they have a good ability to adapt.

After washing up, Lan An thought about Zhang Xiaohua's pregnancy. He had not told Zhang Xiaomo about it yet, so he planned to mention it to Zhang Xiaomo.

"Brother Xiaomo, Zhang Xiaohua is pregnant and she wants you to go with her when she gives birth. I forgot to tell you before."

"If you don't go, you'll just be strangers after you break up your relationship."

"Okay, so are we going to give presents to the kids?"

"Let's say goodbye, so as not to get involved again."

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Xiaomo."

The two talked about some daily trivial matters. Lan An couldn't help but kiss Zhang Xiaomo's lips. He didn't know why, but whenever he was with Zhang Xiaomo, he couldn't help but touch him. Lan An was very sure that he was addicted to Zhang Xiaomo.

"Brother Xiaomo, do you like me biting you?"

"I like it. But An An, can you switch your collarbone? Why is it always the right side?"

"I'm used to it. Brother Xiaomo, I'm addicted to you and I can't quit for the rest of my life."

"An An, why do you want to quit? I was originally yours."

"Brother Xiaomo, do you want to continue taking the imperial examination?"

"Why did An An think of this question?"

"No, I've always wanted to ask, but I always forget."

"No. I used to work so hard to pass the imperial examinations so that my parents and siblings could live a good life. Now I just want to be with you. But I do like reading and writing."

"Okay, then let's spend time together. If you like reading and writing, then we can do that."

"An An, why are you so nice?"

"Zhang Xiaomo, do you know that you are actually better?"

The days passed slowly, and eventually Anger and Zhang Xiaomo found out that Guoge went to the bookstore to read storybooks every day.

After all, it cost twenty cents a day to read the storybook. Guo Ge'er read it secretly for half a month, and his money was almost spent. He wanted to ask An Ge'er for some silver. Lan An gave him two taels of silver without asking the reason.

As soon as he got the warm money, he went to buy a sketchbook. When he was looking at it, he was accidentally caught by Zhang Xiaomo. Under his brother's cold eyes, he confessed everything. Fortunately, Zhang Xiaomo was in a good mood recently and did not scold him. He just told him not to ask An Ge'er for money casually.

Lan An did not expect to see Manager Xia again. After all, he had lived in the courtyard for almost a month and had not seen Brother Xia. This time, he suddenly came to visit near dusk, and Lan An was a little surprised.

"Brother Xia, is there anything you need to visit me so late?"

"An An, can you hunt?"

Lan Eucalyptus was a little surprised, but nodded honestly.

"Did you hunt a tiger?"

"Yeah, Brother Xiaomo needs tiger tendons to treat illnesses, so I went to the back mountains to hunt tigers."

"Can you still catch one? I know this request is excessive, but I've come to you because I'm at my wit's end. A friend of mine has a birthday coming up, and I want to give him a whole tiger. I've asked many hunters, but none of them have been able to catch one. If you can catch one, I'll give you 100 gold."

There are two tigers in the Lan Euan space, which are useless anyway. Why not exchange them for ten thousand taels of silver?

When Zhang Xiaomo heard Manager Xia explain his purpose, he felt sick and his face turned several shades darker.

"Brother Xia, I won't let An Ge'er take this risk. He was injured last time when he went into the back mountain and he had to rest for a few days before he recovered."

"Don't worry too much, Modi. I understand your concerns, but I believe in An Ge'er's ability. Why don't we listen to his advice?"

Lan An knew Zhang Xiaomo's worries, so he called him aside and told him not to worry, as he still had two tigers. Zhang Xiaomo looked at Lan An suspiciously. Lan An was a little amused and tried to comfort him, and finally Zhang Xiaomo agreed.

"Brother Xia, when do you want this tiger?"

"Of course the sooner the better."

"Then come to Lotus Village to find me in three days."

"Okay, Ange, I owe you another favor this time."

"Brother Xia, you know I've built a side yard. Please help me prepare six 6-meter beds, six sets of cabinets, and one set of tables."

"Okay, these are just small matters. I promise to provide you with complete support."

"Okay, thank you, Brother Xia."

"It's getting late. I won't disturb your rest. I'll leave first."

Brother Xia also breathed a sigh of relief. He had asked for this tiger on behalf of the person in charge of the Xiao family in Chenjun. In order to help his royal brother, he had to show his friendship to Xiao Jingyan. Although he had always wanted to marry his eldest daughter who had just turned fourteen to him, he had no choice now. He hoped that Lan Euan could bring him hope.

Brother Xia thought of that cold and aloof young man again. He was the only one who supported him in pursuing his ideals. Such a law-abiding person rebelled against his family and came to this poor place for him. Well, he might never be able to live up to his love in this life.

Big Brother Xia had a bitter smile on his face. There were so many things that were beyond his control. His royal brother had endured too much for the freedom he wanted. He could no longer escape or be selfish.

"An An, you really didn't lie to me."

"Brother Xiaomo, don't worry, I won't lie to you."

Because of what Brother Xia asked him to do, Lan An returned to Lianhua Village a day in advance. Everyone was a little surprised to see Lan An. Lan An just said that he was going to take care of some things and went to the back mountain.

After a few hours, Lan Euan brought a tiger out of the back mountain. At that time, Brother Man was also shocked when he saw the tiger next to Ang'er. Although he felt that Ang'er had an extraordinary temperament, he did not expect him to be so extraordinary.

The tiger was too heavy, and Lan An and Brother Man could hardly lift it, so they had to call the workers who were building the house over. Lan An didn't want to be so high-profile, but the news that he had killed the tiger in the back mountain spread to Lianhua Village in less than a quarter of an hour, and countless villagers gathered at the gate of his yard to watch the tiger.

When Brother Xia arrived at the gate of Lan'an's yard, Lan'an and the tiger were surrounded by villagers. Lan'an saw Brother Xia and thought he was his savior, so he asked him to take the tiger away quickly, as he was annoyed to death by the villagers.

"Anger, you are really amazing."

"Brother Xia, stop teasing me and get this out of here."

Brother Xia gave Lan An a box. Lan An knew without hesitation that it was gold, so he put it aside without even looking at it. Brother Xia didn't say much and left with Lao Hu. He had been very busy recently and had a lot of things to do.

The tiger was gone, and the people at the gate of Lan'an Courtyard also dispersed. Lan'an casually took a stool and sat down to chat with Aunt Wang.

"Ang'er, aren't you afraid of the tiger?"

"I can't help it, Aunt Wang, Zhang Xiaomo needs it for treatment."

"Brother An, you are really that. I really admire you, but I admire Brother Mo even more."

Lan Euan was too lazy to pay attention to him and rolled his eyes at him.

"Auntie Wang, why don't I see your Lin Ge'er every time I come back? She's at home embroidering. Guo Ge'er asked me to bring him a hairband this time."

"No, he went to the resettlement housing to play, and Guo Ge'er also spent all the money."

"You go there every day? You might have a crush on someone."

"I don't know. I'll ask around. If it's suitable, I'll decide on one for him. But we have to wait until the autumn harvest."

The three of them cooked while chatting, and soon four dishes and a soup were ready. Lan An planned to return to the county town after dinner.

The meal is ready. There’s no need for Lan’an to call us. Just come and eat after you finish your work.

"Ang'er, whenever you go hunting in the back mountains, please take me with you."

"Wang Daniu, you want to die, don't you know how dangerous the back mountain is?"

"Wife, I was wrong, don't, don't pinch my ears..."

Lan An just smiled. Mrs. Lan and Brother Da Niu really have a good relationship, but Brother Da Niu is really a typical henpecked man.

"Brother Daniu, I'm just like you. I'm also afraid of my husband. He agreed to let me go to the back mountain this time. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to go. Otherwise, I would be punished to kneel."

No one believed what Lan An said. After all, Mo Hanzi had such a good temper, and Ang'er was so fierce, it was not certain who would kneel down.

Brother Xu knew that Lan An was not lying, but Zhang Xiaomo's anger was even more terrifying.

"Anger, how is Brother Mo doing?"

"Brother Xu, Brother Xiaomo is feeling better now."

"That's good."

"Brother Xu, do you want to get married?"

"Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"When the house is built and Brother Xiaomo is almost recovered, I think it's time to consider your marriage. After all, there will be more people at home, and you won't have to do many things. You'll also have time to spend with your wife."

"Anger, why don't you introduce our boss first?"

"Ah, Brother Kong, I don't need to worry about Brother Xie."

"That's right, it's not like no one wants me. If it doesn't work out, I'll go find Lao Xia."

"Who is Lao Xia? Why haven't you heard of him?"

"After all, there's been a gap between us for so many years, so it's normal that you don't know someone. Old Xia and I are close friends, so how can we be similar?"

"About the same as me?"

"Well, there's a difference between you and me, even though we've never fought each other before."

"Well, I'm full, you guys eat."

Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, suddenly left, and the lively atmosphere suddenly became quiet. The villagers just thought that the brothers had a conflict, and it was difficult to persuade them, so they quickly ate and went to rest.

It is not easy for Brother Xie's group of brothers to influence his opinion. The boss has finally let it go, so it is better for them not to get involved. Instead, Brother Kong's abnormality makes them more interested.

Lan An looked at the gloating expressions of Brother Xie and his brothers, and after thinking about it, he finally spoke up to remind them.

"Xie, brother, if you still care, don't do this. It's very hurtful."

"Say I care."

"Well, you don't care. Only your feet know whether the shoes fit or not."

"Brother An, how do you know your feelings for Brother Mo?"

"The first time I saw him, I wanted him to be mine. He was special to me."

Brother Xie thought about it and couldn't help asking again

"Then how do you know Modi likes you?"

"It's hard to explain. He told me this again and again with all his words and actions."

"I'm also a jerk. I'm asking you these questions for no reason. I'll ask Brother Mo when I have a chance."

After a while, Zhu Ni, the bricklayer, came back, but his eyes were a little red, probably because he had been crying.

There was no interaction between the two of them throughout the afternoon, they just did their own work.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lan An asked Brother Man to take him to the fields to take a look.

The watermelons will probably bloom in half a month. I don’t know if they will bear fruit successfully by then. It seems that they need pollination. I’m not sure about the blue gum either.

Peanut really doesn't know the situation, but judging from the leaves, there shouldn't be any problem.

The tomatoes are growing well and starting to bear fruit, as are the peppers. The ginger doesn't seem to be showing much.

Lan'an looked at the rice again and found it was growing well. Seeing that there was nothing left, Lan'an asked Brother Man to drive back to the yard.

The star anise and cinnamon planted in the space are ripe and will be picked tonight. The rice only needs to be planted 5 times before it can be upgraded. By then, three waves can be harvested at a time, for a total of 12 days, namely one wave every 3 days, one wave every days, and one wave every days, which saves more time.

Lan An calculated the silver. Recently, apart from buying food and vegetables, and Zhang Xiaomo's medicine, he had no other expenses. One wave of rice could be exchanged for more than four taels. He had earned a lot of silver from killing the tiger just now. Lan An calculated that he had more than 18,000 taels of silver.

When they returned to the yard, it was almost 3 p.m. Lan An planned to leave work early because the Sun family was getting married the next two days, so he would give them that day off.

"That's it for today. I'll pay you all your wages tomorrow. You've all worked hard.

The Sun family is getting married tomorrow, so everyone in the village should go, right? We've been given half a day off to relax, so let's all go and join in the fun and feel the festivities."

Everyone was very grateful to Lan An. Although the wages were paid upon completion of the work, the employer was willing to pay in advance, which was a rare good thing. Everyone went home in a good mood.

Among the festive faces, there are four that seem out of place.

But Lan Euan is very happy and is looking forward to eating melons on the spot tomorrow.
