My delicate husband

When Lan An saw the wounds on Brother Man and Brother Han, he felt a little guilty. It was indeed because he did not control his emotions at that time. He could only give two taels of silver to each of them as medical expenses, and also gave them two days off to let them have a good rest.

As expected, Guo Ge'er was scolded by Zhang Xiaomo. Zhang Xiaomo blamed him for making Lan An angry. Guo Ge'er was also very tactful and apologized to An Ge'er.

After the last acupuncture treatment, Lan An stayed with Zhang Xiaomo all the time. The two were like conjoined twins, doing everything together.

Guo Ge'er is immune to this, and his family members are used to it. Guo Ge'er is now thinking carefully about his chili oil business. He is basically not at home during the day, and asks Bai Lu and Xue Ge'er to accompany him to the county town for a stroll.

Guo Ge'er is no longer interested in sketchbooks. He feels that making money is the happiest thing.

Under Lan'an's careful care, Zhang Xiaomo recovered quickly. Lan'an calculated that the house was about to be built, so Lan'an planned to pack up and go back in the next few days.

Lan An did not forget what he said before about buying another educated slave. Lan An did not plan to go and choose one himself, mainly because the environment in the brokerage shop was not good and Zhang Xiaomo was in poor health. Lan An was worried about him going, but he did not want to be separated from Zhang Xiaomo, so this task was given to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu was also a reliable person. He found a scholar in his twenties who was a student with the title of Tongsheng. He was good-looking and had a good character. He sold himself to bury his mother. Lan An was quite satisfied after seeing him at first sight.

Bai Lu gave him some simple training, mainly teaching him basic etiquette and how to check the account books with the housekeeper. Lan An was very confident in Bai Lu and was waiting to take him back to the village when the time came.

Just like before, Lan An named him Zhang Qinghe, and he would be mainly responsible for managing household expenses from then on.

Because they were about to return to the village, Lan An asked everyone to buy whatever they needed. Since they would not come to the county town often in the future, Lan An also took Zhang Xiaomo to visit the county town.

As usual, he went to the clothing store and Lan An took out his custom-made clothes. This time he didn't buy any clothes, but he bought bedding, eight 6-jin quilts and two 4-jin quilts. He also bought new sheets. The shopkeeper was very happy and gave Lan An a blanket. As usual, the waiter delivered it to Brother Xia's yard.

The two went to the jewelry store again to get customized jewelry. Lan An took a look and thought it was very beautiful. He was looking forward to seeing how Zhang Xiaomo would look when she wore it.

Lan Euan bought 10 headbands this time. There are many people in the family, so she gave one to each person and gave the extra ones to Guo Ge'er.

The two also bought some snacks, mainly candies and dried fruits, but no fresh fruits. Lan An thought of the promised string of candied haws and began to ponder.

Everything was almost ready, and the group returned to the village. Brother Xu was relieved to see Lan An. He had been a little worried when he saw the wounds on Man Han and the others' faces. Today was the day the house was completed, and there were some things he couldn't handle if Lan An didn't come.

"Brother An, Brother Mo, you are here."

"Brother Xu, you've worked hard these days."

Brother Xu reported to Lan'an what had happened recently and also told him about the progress of Guoge'er chili oil. Lan'an nodded and mentioned Brother He to Brother Xu, and handed Brother He's household registration issues to Brother Xu to deal with.

"Anger, is Brother He in charge of the household?"

"That's about right. He'll be responsible for the household expenses. From now on, if we need anything, we can ask him to buy it. I specifically chose someone who is knowledgeable. From now on, I just need to check the account books every month."

Lan An is really a hands-off boss. He doesn't want to worry about anything except things related to Zhang Xiaomo, so he tries to staff everyone as much as possible so that he doesn't have to worry about everything. When Zhang Xiaomo recovers, he plans to take him out for a trip.

Zhang Xiaomo really enjoyed the sight of Lan Euan's heart and eyes being filled with him and sticking to him all the time.

Now he can finally let go of the burden in his heart and be with Lan An without any worries. This time he will definitely be able to stay with him for the rest of his life.

Brother Xu is also busy, and the house is finally going to be completed today, so everyone is in a good mood.

Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo looked at the house for a long time and were both very satisfied.

"An An, can we move back to Lotus Village?"

"Brother Xiaomo, we still have to wait for ten days or so for the house to dry."

Although the yard in the county town is very nice, it is not what Zhang Xiaomo wants. He likes the house designed by Lan Euan with great care. It has more of the feeling of home, the feeling of Lan Euan.

Zhang Xiaomo knew that everything in the new house was proof that Lan An loved him and cared about him. He was willing to live in the house for the rest of his life and never leave, just as Lan An had said.

"Brother Xiaomo, please help me calculate the wages."

"Okay, I'll help An An."

"No reward this time?"

"No need, An An gave me the best reward - the Zhou Gong Ceremony."

Zhang Xiaomo hugged Lan An, leaned his head on Lan An's shoulder, and whispered these four words. Lan An couldn't help but feel his legs go weak, but fortunately Zhang Xiaomo hugged him.

Lan'an plans to still pay wages on a monthly basis. Regardless, I am very grateful for everyone's help. The extra money can be considered a bonus and hard work fee.

It took everyone less than a morning and after three months of construction, the house was finally completed.

Lan'an also paid the wages immediately, expressed gratitude to the villagers who helped with the construction and Brother Xie's brothers, and agreed to treat them to a meal alone ten days later.

However, only Brother Xie, Zhu the bricklayer and Brother Kong agreed. Everyone else refused, and Lan An did not force it.

Lan An took Zhang Xiaomo to visit the house. When they pushed open the door, the first thing that came into view was the hall, which was the core building of the entire courtyard.

The roof adopts the traditional flying eaves design, which is smart and elegant. Covered with green tiles, it contrasts with the white walls, appearing simple and elegant.

The wooden rafters and brackets under the eaves are exquisitely carved.

The second is the main house on the east side, which also has a traditional flying eaves design, green tiles and white walls, simple and elegant. The doors and windows of the main house are made of wood structure, and the windows are inlaid with exquisite carvings. The sunlight shines into the house through the windows, and the light and shadow are intertwined, like a dream.

The west wing of the courtyard is relatively simple, echoing the main house. The walls of the wing are flat and smooth, exuding a rustic atmosphere.

There is also a small and exquisite pavilion in the courtyard, surrounded by a corridor with wisteria planted on it.

I like the blue eucalyptus in this pavilion very much. I can invite friends to the pavilion to drink tea and enjoy the scenery, and even have an open-air barbecue.

Lan'an is very satisfied with this yard. Now he just needs to wait for the house to dry naturally in the shade for about ten days before he can move in. The sun is hot in June and the moisture in the room will be dried up quickly.

"Brother Xiaomo, do you like it?"

"An An, I like it very much, thank you."

"From now on, it will be just the two of us in the inner room, and no one will disturb us anymore."

"Yeah, just me and An An."

At noon, just after the group had finished their meal, Brother Xia brought over all the finished furniture.

"Brother An, Brother Mo, I'm not late, am I?"

Brother Xia greeted with a smile

"No, it's just right. Thank you, Brother Xia."

Originally, the group agreed to go to the back mountain to hunt rabbits after dinner, but now there was no way. Lan An instructed the waiter to arrange and install the furniture that had been put into the space before, and Lan An also took out the furniture when no one was paying attention.

Strength lies in numbers. With everyone's help, the furniture that would have taken two days to organize was all put away in one afternoon.

Lan An looked very satisfied, especially with his and Zhang Xiaomo's room, which Lan An had put a lot of thought into.

Everyone was very satisfied when they saw it, but it was a pity that although they liked it, they could not live with the person they loved, so they had no intention of building the same house.

The room has floor heating and a closet with a fireplace. Upon entering, the first thing you see is a screen, behind which is the bathroom. Then there's a bow-shaped wooden door, flanked by a carved wooden railing, perfect for displaying ornaments or even potted plants. The room is divided into two: a bedroom on the left and a study on the right, separated by a desk and screen.

The room is fully furnished with a bed, bedside table, dressing table, wardrobe, sofa and desk all arranged in an orderly manner.

There is a row of bookcases in the study, followed by a desk and chair. Although it is simple, it is also very complete.

There is also a complete set of sofas in the hall, as well as a desk, a table, tables, chairs and benches. One side can be used to meet guests, and the other side is for dining.

Lan Euan spent a long time designing the house to his liking. It was somewhat modern, but overall it had a minimalist Nordic style.

Now it only takes about ten days to move in. Everyone left after the tour. Guo Ge'er was very satisfied with his room and had no plans to redecorate it.

"Brother An, can we come back and live here in ten days or so? Can I invite Brother Lin to live with me?"

"It's all right. Will you go back to the county with us?"

"No, I have to watch over the peppers in the field and harvest them."

In the end, Brother Man sent Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo back to the county town, and everyone else stayed in the village.

"An An, have you invited Brother Xia to dinner?"

"No, he came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Let's invite him before we leave the courtyard."

The last ten days in the county town seemed particularly difficult, and both of them seemed to have their own little thoughts.

During the process, Doctor Zhu came to take Zhang Xiaomo's pulse. The condition was very good, so he prescribed medicine for fifteen days and asked him to rest well.

After half a month of training by Bai Lu, Brother He has become a qualified butler, but Brother Xu has never met him.

There were only two days left, so Lan An and Zhang Xiaomo went to the carpentry workshop to invite Brother Xia to have a warming meal three days later.

The day before returning to the village, Lan An packed all the luggage, accompanied Zhang Xiaomo to the bookstore to buy books, and finally went to Chunqiutang to ask Doctor Zhu to take her pulse. This time the result was still good, and she got another half month's worth of medicine. Zhang Xiaomo talked to Doctor Zhu alone for a few words, and her face was slightly red when she came out.

On the day of returning to the village, Brother Man came to the courtyard early to pick people up. Bai Lu helped put the luggage on the car. Lan An was still a little reluctant to let him go. It was a pity that he couldn't buy him.

When they returned to the village and got off the carriage, Guo Ge'er and others were waiting for them. Brother Han and Brother Xu helped to move the luggage into the room. Lan An carried it into the inner room by himself and spent half an hour to pack it up. Zhang Xiaomo sat on the sofa. He wanted to help, but was rejected by Lan An.

Guo Ge'er and Xu Ge'er had already cleaned up their houses. They had been fumigated with mugwort and a faint fragrance still lingered.

"An An, we have our own home now."

"Zhang Xiaomo, I'm so happy today."

"An An, thank you for being there."
