Xu Qingye always gets up early.

When he woke up, he subconsciously looked towards the inside of the bed.

Song Yuntang had his eyes closed, lying quietly facing him, as well-behaved as a pure white porcelain doll.

He reached out his hand, wanting to brush the hair off her cheek, but was afraid of waking her up.

Finally, he had to withdraw his hand, got up quietly and left the house.

As soon as he came out, a hand grabbed his arm and dragged him into the main room.

Jiang lowered her voice, "Qingye, did you and Tang'er...do something last night?"

Xu Qingye raised his hand to his nose and coughed awkwardly.

"What does mother want to say?"

Jiang said stubbornly, "Mother wants to tell you that it's normal for you to feel a little weak after recovering from a serious illness, but don't be discouraged. Tang'er is a doctor after all. She cured your previous serious illness, so this minor problem will definitely be no problem. Now that you are married, you can discuss some things with her. Do you understand?"

Xu Qingye looked at her strangely.

"How did mother know?"

"Last night I..."

Jiang almost told everyone about the eavesdropping, but she stopped herself in time.

Xu Qingye had already guessed it, but still asked.

"What happened last night?"

Jiang pointed to the kitchen and said guiltily, "Mom woke up this morning and found that you didn't use water last night, so I guessed."

"Don't worry, mother. We are fine."

After Xu Qingye finished speaking, he left the main room with a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Looking at the back of her eldest son, Jiang couldn't help but shook her head, "Men, they all care about face."

After breakfast, Song Yuntang was about to go out.

"Dad, Mom, things are going on at the farm right now, and the tavern is about to open. I have to go there today. You don't have to wait for me for lunch."

Jiang said hurriedly, "Okay, ask Qingye to go with you."

"He still has to read. Don't delay him."

"That won't work. There's still a long mountain road leading out of Lushan Village. It's better to be safe than sorry." Jiang looked at Xu Qingye, "Qingye, you go with Tang'er."

Xu Qingye nodded and stood up.

"Let's go. It won't hurt to read for a few days."

The two set out from Lushan Village.

"Are you going to the county town as soon as September comes?" Song Yuntang looked at him and asked.

Xu Qingye hummed, "We'll go on the last day of this month, and we'll have to find a place to stay. My teacher invited me to stay at his house before, but I'm worried about unnecessary misunderstandings since he has a large family. It's better to keep some distance."

"Finding a courtyard to live in on your own is definitely better than living under someone else's roof." Song Yuntang looked at him with a smile. "Actually, I went to the county town again a few days ago and stayed there overnight. At that time, I thought, it would be great if I could buy a courtyard like that. Then when you go there to study, you can live in your own home and don't have to rent a courtyard."

Looking at her curved eyebrows and eyes, Xu Qingye also raised the corners of his lips.

"What are you going to do in the county town?"

"Lin Jingyao offered me two hundred taels and wanted me to go to the county government office for mediation. But Lin Zhaozhao didn't live up to her expectations and was not only beaten with a stick, but also had to stay in jail for another month."

Whenever she thought about it, she wanted to laugh.

Lin Zhaozhao deserved it for not only failing to steal the chicken but also losing the rice.

"After that, I helped Master Zhu with a little favor, so I stayed overnight at the Li family."

Xu Qingye was a little worried. "Why didn't you tell me when Lin Jingyao came to see you? It would have been safer if I had gone with you."

"I thought you'd need to study in the future, so I couldn't always come to you for everything." Song Yuntang raised his hands. "Before I left, I practically soaked these hands in poison. If anyone dared to do anything to me, I would poison them to death first."

After hearing her words, Xu Qingye did not feel relieved that she could find a way to protect herself.

"If something like this happens again, don't be so stubborn. As your husband, I also need some room to maneuver. If you don't come to me for everything, then what difference does it make whether I'm here or not?"

Song Yuntang nodded.

"I understand. If there is anything else in the future, I will discuss it with you."

……

When we arrived at Zhuangzi, it was already past noon.

"The girl and her husband are back!"

When Miao and Tao Xia saw her, they hurried out to greet her.

Chen went to the tavern to sell sour plum soup early in the morning, while Fubao and Fang Xiaobao were playing in the yard.

"Everything was okay at the farm yesterday?" Song Yuntang asked.

Miao smiled and said, "We are watching over it, everything is fine."

Song Yuntang nodded. "That's good. I'm going to the woodshed to talk to Uncle Qiao about something. You guys keep busy while I get over. Sister Xia, come with me to town. The tavern over there is opening in a few days, and there are a lot of things that need to be sorted out."

Tao Xia responded, "Oh, I understand."

Song Yuntang came to the wooden shed.

"Uncle Qiao, is the granary finished?"

Qiao laughed loudly and said, "It's already been built. The granary is quite big. After we stacked all the grain yesterday, we also made a bed for Tu Shi inside. He can sleep there now."

Tu Shi scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Miss, I'd rather not live in the courtyard. Living in the granary is also fine. There are many women in the courtyard, and it's not as comfortable as living in the granary."

Qiao Er joked, "You're not afraid of being uncomfortable, are you afraid that the stutterer will run away?"

"Okay, then you can live in the granary first, and we'll make arrangements after the new yard is built." She looked at Qiao Da, "Uncle Qiao, we still have to continue collecting grain this afternoon, and the bamboo cans can't be left out every day. If nothing goes wrong, there may be an order tomorrow."

Qiao Da nodded, "Okay, I'll take it to heart."

Song Yuntang looked at Song Xiangming again, "Cousin, my second brother came back from here yesterday. Is he okay?"

Song Xiangming shook his head.

"He's fine. If so many people hadn't persuaded him, he would have wanted to help you with the work."

"I'm glad you're okay." Song Yuntang pointed to a piece of dry land not far from the wooden shed. "Tu Shi, go and turn that land over. I want to plant something there later."

Tu Shi quickly put down the work in his hands.

"Hey, I'll go right away."

Song Yuntang glanced at Xu Qingye not far away and led him towards the mountain spring.

"I was just trying it out, but I didn't expect the first batch of peppers to actually sprout. Now that the weather is cool, it's a good time to transplant them into the ground so they can grow taller. If it gets any colder, I'll have to build a greenhouse."

Xu Qingye guessed her plan.

"Planning to breed and plant in large quantities next year?"

Song Yuntang nodded, "If nothing unexpected happens, that's it."

She continued to climb up the mountain and came to the spring.

"You haven't been here before, have you?" Song Yuntang looked at him and asked, "Do you feel anything different standing here?"

Xu Qingye felt it carefully and said uncertainly, "It seems cooler than other places?"

"That's right." Song Yuntang pulled him down to squat, took his hand, and touched the stone wall at the mouth of the spring. "Feel it again."

The two people's arms overlapped, and because Xu Qingye was leaning sideways, his tall body covered the girl's entire body.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Looking down at the girl in front of him, his originally calm heart suddenly began beating uncontrollably.
