My delicate husband

The road construction plan in Lianhua Village is progressing smoothly. All the villagers who are free will participate voluntarily and contribute their efforts.

Lan An was preparing for Zhang Xiaomo's third acupuncture treatment. Before that, Lan An went to Brother Xia's woodworking workshop to ask how the furniture was going.

"Mr. An, you came to see the boss. He hasn't been in Yunling County recently."

"Okay, excuse me, Shopkeeper Fang, but I just wanted to ask if the furniture for my side yard is ready?"

"It's ready. Everything is complete, just as you requested."

"Okay, then you will send it to the village in five days."

"Ok."

Brother Xia was not in Lan'an and he did not stay in Lan'an for long. He also discovered that Brother Xia was very busy recently. The last time they met was when he came to Lianhua Village to get the tiger hunted by Lan'an. He seemed to be quite busy at that time. He would usually chat with Lan'an or ask about the drawings. That day, he paid Lan'an the money and left with the tiger.

Zhang Xiaomo underwent acupuncture for the third time. Lan An thought that there would be no accidents after the first two times, but when she saw Zhang Xiaomo vomiting blood, Lan An still panicked.

Before the third acupuncture treatment began, Lan An kept preparing herself mentally and prepared for the worst. Although it was not her first time seeing Dr. Zhu for acupuncture, she felt a sharp pain in her heart every time Dr. Zhu inserted the needle. This time, Lan An managed to hold back her tears.

The medicinal bath was fine. Zhang Xiaomo didn't seem to feel as much pain as before, although she was still very weak.

After finally cleaning up and putting Zhang Xiaomo on the bed, Lan An didn't have time to cover him with the quilt when Zhang Xiaomo spat out a mouthful of blood. Lan An watched the black blood gushing out from the corner of Zhang Xiaomo's mouth and was stunned for a few seconds. Zhang Xiaomo fainted.

Lan An suddenly felt that the surroundings had lost all color. Lan An didn't dare to touch Zhang Xiaomo and didn't know what to do. He stretched out his trembling hand to feel Zhang Xiaomo's breath. His hand was shaking all the time, and Lan An seemed unable to feel Zhang Xiaomo's breath.

Lan An knelt straight on the ground, his whole body in a daze, tears streaming down his face. The noise of Lan An's fall was so loud that it alarmed Guo Ge'er who was outside the door. Guo Ge'er ran into the room and saw that Lan An seemed to have lost his soul. I also saw the dark red blood on Tian Qing's bed sheet, so I quickly called Doctor Zhu in.

Everything happened unexpectedly. Doctor Zhu walked in and wanted to take Zhang Xiaomo's pulse. Lan An was like an angry lion and would not let anyone get close to Zhang Xiaomo. Later, Doctor Zhu had no choice but to knock Lan An unconscious with a needle.

Guo Ge'er quickly asked Bai Lu to put Lan Euan on the bed. Doctor Zhu finally took Zhang Xiaomo's pulse. Fortunately, there was nothing serious. The tendons and veins were unblocked. The toxins that were originally blocked in the chest were stimulated and discharged by the medicine, but they had not been completely cleared. He fainted because his body could not bear it and was too weak. He would be fine after waiting for the person to wake up naturally.

Guo Ge'er was also very scared. An Ge'er really scared him. He was sure that if his brother was gone, Lan An would definitely commit suicide for him.

Knowing that everything was fine, Guo Ge'er was relieved. He was also scared today. He called Bai Lu to help Zhang Xiaomo wash up and change clothes. He also helped them change their bedding, put them both on the bed, and covered them with the quilt.

Doctor Zhu is really a kind-hearted doctor. He kept comforting Guo Ge'er. After all, Guo Ge'er was only 12 years old. After Zhang Xiaomo was washed and put on the bed, Doctor Zhu took Zhang Xiaomo's pulse again and left only after making sure that everything was fine.

Guo Geer did not sleep and stayed up all night. The first one to wake up was Lan Euan. He stared at Guo Geer with his scarlet eyes. That night, Guo Geer felt his life was threatened.

"Ang'er, Doctor Zhu said my brother is fine and fainted because he was too tired."

"Why haven't you woken up yet?"

"He must have woken up during the day."

Lan An ignored Guo Ge'er and buried his head in Zhang Xiaomo's arms, listening to Zhang Xiaomo's heartbeat and crying silently. His hands tightly grasped Zhang Xiaomo's clothes, and Zhang Xiaomo felt trembling.

He almost lost everything just now, and Lan Euan really didn't want to experience it again. In that instant, the world seemed to have lost its color, and there was no sound. He couldn't feel the passage of time, as if everything had stopped.

"Zhang Xiaomo, it turns out that your world isn't as scary as it is. I'm glad you're okay..."

When Zhang Xiaomo woke up, Guo Ge'er was asleep in the chair, covered with a quilt.

He felt the furry head in his arms, he felt the person trembling in his arms, and he felt that they were both asleep but still crying in their dreams.

Zhang Xiaomo patted Lan'an's back. Lan'an suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and met Zhang Xiaomo's smiling eyes. His scarlet eyes were full of tears.

Lan An didn't say anything, but hugged Zhang Xiaomo tightly, very tightly.

"An An, I'm sorry. I was too sleepy yesterday and forgot to say good night to you."

"Zhang Xiaomo, I miss you so much, so much."

Guo Ge'er also woke up with a start. After taking a look and making sure that everything was fine, he left with the quilt. His back and waist were sore from the sleep, so he wanted to take another nap.

Lan An still feels frightened when he recalls the scene of that day. Fortunately, it was a false alarm and Zhang Xiaomo is fine.

This time, Zhang Xiaomo was really weak for three days, and Lan An also felt a little uncomfortable. He was always afraid when Zhang Xiaomo slept, and he would check his breathing again and again, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he was sure he was breathing. It was also this acupuncture that made Lan An develop the habit of listening to Zhang Xiaomo's heartbeat before he could sleep soundly.

"An An, let's go back to the village tomorrow. Didn't Brother Xu say that the tomatoes you picked are ripe? I want to go to the field and take a look."

"Brother Xiaomo, you are not in good health to return to the village."

"Aang, it's okay. Don't you care about our house?"

"I don't care. I only care about you."

Under Zhang Xiaomo's persuasion, Lan An agreed to return to the village.

This time, Zhang Xiaomo was carried off the carriage by Lan An. Everyone was very worried about Zhang Xiaomo's physical condition, and they felt relieved when they saw Lan An taking him back to the village.

As usual, Brother Xu told Lan'an about what had happened in the past ten days. He also told Lan'an that the tomatoes in the field had turned red, but he didn't know whether they could be picked. After hearing this, Lan'an immediately asked Brother Man to take Lan'an and six others to the field.

You can see that most of the tomato branches are full of red tomatoes, but some are damaged by birds, but most of them are still good.

He picked a blue gum at random, washed it with stream water, and handed it to Zhang Xiaomo for him to take a bite.

"Is it delicious, Brother Xiaomo?"

"It's crunchy, sweet, and delicious."

I also picked a blue gum and ate it. It was similar to the ones grown in the space and was really good.

Guo Ge'er also picked four, one each for him, Han Ge, Man Ge, and Xue Ge'er.

Lan Eucalyptus was very happy. The successful tomato planting meant that he had successfully achieved tomato freedom and would have one more vegetable to eat in his daily life.

"It's time to arrange for people to pick them. Brother Han, go inform all the aunts and have them pick all the red ones today and tomorrow. I'm going to the county town to sell them."

Lan'an looked at the watermelon field again. The watermelons had also produced small fruits. They should be able to eat watermelons in another month. Lan'an hoped that they would be big, sweet watermelons with thin skin and red flesh.

As expected by Lan Yan, I should be able to pick peppers next time I come. By then, I can also prepare chopped peppers and chili oil, as well as dried peppers for hot pot in winter.

The rice ears should be about to emerge in half a month. At that time, fertilizer will need to be applied and a good water source must be ensured, otherwise it will affect the flowering, resulting in many empty husks in the rice grains and affecting the yield.

Peanuts, ginger, and blue eucalyptus will probably not be ripe until after the autumn harvest, so I just took a look at the blue eucalyptus and didn't care about it.

"An An, do we also pick the tomatoes from our field?"

"Yes, let Guo Ge go to the resettlement house to find some children to pick them, and ask the aunts if they want to join us."

Lan'an directly gave the task to Guo Ge'er, asking him to find thirty children for the resettlement house, paying him 30 cents a day.

Brother Han and Brother Xue are also helping out, so Brother Man will be responsible for transportation.

Lan An planned to watch with Zhang Xiaomo from the side. Lan An was still very worried about Zhang Xiaomo's health.

Guo Ge'er did not return to the yard, but took Xue Ge'er directly to the resettlement house. The resettlement house was full of children under ten years old, and the older ones had gone to the east end of the village to help build the road.

"Brother Guo, are you here to ask us for help?"

"Brother An An asked me to come pick tomatoes for you guys, are you willing?"

A group of little kids nodded and gathered around Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er. Everyone was very happy.

"The tomatoes you planted for Brother An An are ripe now. Brother An An wants you to pick some for me. The reward is 30 cents per person. Of course, Brother An An will also give you free tomatoes to eat."

"Ok."

Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er's hearts melted when they heard their babyish voices. Who could resist such cute and well-behaved human cubs?

Xue Ge'er and Guo Ge'er took a group of little radishes to the field. The little ones were very excited and their eyes lit up when they looked at the tomatoes.

"Brother Guo, can I eat it?"

"Sure, go pick the red ones and I'll wash them for you by the stream. You can eat them after washing."

The little carrot heads were really well-behaved. They picked only one tomato each and then lined up obediently, waiting for Guo Ge'er and Xue Ge'er to help them wash the tomatoes.

"Brother Guo, tomatoes are delicious."

"Don't eat too much, your stomach won't be able to handle it."

"Know it."

Lan Euan asked Little Radish to pick the red tomatoes and put them in the basket after he had finished eating them, and discarded the rotten ones.

Guo Ge'er also helped in picking the fruits. The yield was really good. It was estimated that one acre of land could produce seven or eight dens of blue eucalyptus, which was a super high yield among the crops in Chuqi Country.

There were not too many ripe tomatoes in the first batch. Lan Euan estimated that there were about five tomatoes in the two acres of land. The little radishes were picked as well. Brother Man helped to transport them back to the yard first, and Brother Han also came with his aunts in a bullock cart.

"Anger, pick them and sell them directly in town?"

"Sister Lan, don't worry, it will definitely sell, and the price won't be cheap."

"I think the output is not low."

"Sister Mei, there should be at least six or seven dan."

The aunts were quite happy. Each family sent a representative. Blue Eucalyptus had also made up its mind that after picking the fruits from their own fields, they would let Little Radish Head help the aunts.

Zhang Xiaomo is in a good mood and will help pick a few when he is bored.

"An An, can we grow tomatoes on those wastelands in the village?"

"Sure, when the time comes we can make money by buying rice seedlings and buy more land, and I'll be the landlord and support you."

"Okay, An An, take care of me."

After picking for half a day, they harvested a total of about five dan of tomatoes. Lan'an gave ten kilograms to each of the village chief, Muramasa, and the elders, and also gave thirty kilograms to the resettlement houses.

Lan An gave ten kilograms of tomatoes to each of the workers helping in the yard. Five of them had some at home, so Lan An didn't give any. The tomatoes had just been distributed, and Lan An thought there were some to sell.

The five aunts' families also harvested a total of nine tomatoes, and the blue eucalyptus was collected at 8 wen per catty. They were given a total of 7 taels and 200 wen of silver. The money was given to Aunt Wang and she let them divide it among themselves.

Lan'an plans to teach Guo'er and Xue'er how to do business, and will hand over these things to them in the future, but he will still keep them with him in the early stages.

"Anger, these tomatoes are quite profitable."

"It will be cheaper in the future if we grow more, but not now. After all, we are the only ones who have it."

"No matter how cheap it is, it's better than planting beans."

Brother Xu also likes tomatoes very much. He mainly likes to eat them raw. He is quite satisfied with Ang'er giving each of them ten kilograms.

In the small courtyard, the villagers who came to Lan'an's house to help were jealous when they saw the high yield of tomatoes and the high price, and they regretted not planting them together.

"Anger, are these tomatoes really grown?"

"You are stupid, haven't you seen it?"

"Can we also plant in the fields?"

"It is all acceptable."

"Anger, will you take us to plant next year?"

"Don't worry, we will all plant together next year, but I won't provide the seedlings for free. You have to buy them."

No one minded this and was happy to get the guarantee from the blue gum. After finishing the work, everyone went home happily with their tomatoes.

Zhang Xiaomo still hadn't recovered at all. Lan An felt sorry for him seeing that he looked a little listless. Seeing that there was nothing to do in the village, he prepared to go back. When he left, he thought of the furniture in the side yard and said a few words to Brother Xu.

"The furniture will be delivered to the side yard tomorrow. You can arrange it however you want. They are all the same. There are six sets. I have already bought the additional items you want. Go back to Brother Xue tonight to sort them out and give them to Brother Man to bring over.

Xue Ge'er won't be returning to the village tomorrow. I'll take him and Guo Ge'er to sell tomatoes in the county town."

Lan An gave the instructions and had the Jiudan tomatoes loaded onto the carriage, and the group returned to the county town. Zhang Xiaomo was so tired that he fell asleep in the carriage, which made Lan An very sad.

After returning to the county town, with the help of the servants, nine baskets of tomatoes were carried directly to the hall. Lan An gave 20 kilograms to Doctor Zhu, another 20 kilograms to Brother A Shui, and finally 50 kilograms to Brother Xu.

Lan An thought that fifty kilograms would be enough for Brother Xu, but unexpectedly, Manager Fang asked for one hundred kilograms. Lan An did not ask any more questions and asked Bai Lu to deliver it.

Of the remaining seven eucalyptus, he kept about 20 kilograms in the yard, and planned to sell the rest at a stall in the county town early tomorrow morning.
