The warm life of farming

Early the next morning, An Ran took the money that Mu Yuan had given to Father An. Father An looked at the 20 taels of silver in his hand and couldn't help being surprised.

Father An was not optimistic about Mu Yuan's fish farming from the beginning, and he never thought that Mu Yuan could make any money by raising fish.In fact, I can't blame Father An for thinking this way, because no one in the village has ever done this before, and I haven't heard of it when I was outside.The second is to see Mu Yuan swaying around every day, looking like he is not doing his job properly. The fish pond has been in operation for so long, that is to say, he worked hard at the beginning, and then he rarely went to the fish pond.So Father An always felt that this matter was unreliable.

Father An once thought that even if he made money, it would be a small amount of money. There are quite a few fish sellers here, but he has never seen anyone make a fortune from this.

But now?

Old Man An looked at the money in his hand, and asked in disbelief, "How much did you earn in total?"

An Ran smiled and said, "I made more than 60 taels of silver this trip."

Papa An was puzzled: "How many fish did you sell? How did you make so much money?"

Oops!An Ran thought with annoyance that she had forgotten this in a moment of complacency.

An Ran hesitated and said: "I don't know about this, I just helped Brother Mu take care of the car all the way, and Brother Mu went to discuss selling the fish, anyway, the boss sold out all the fish."

"That's it!" Father An still had doubts in his heart, and he also helped to load the car. Although there are a lot of fish, they shouldn't be able to sell so much silver taels, right?

"Father, it's getting late, I'm going to cook first!" An Ran was afraid that Father An would ask some more questions, and he wouldn't be able to answer, so he wanted to slip away because he said too much and made mistakes.

"Well! Go!"

An Ran hurriedly exited the room, went to the kitchen and lit the fire on the fire, put the pot on, washed the rice and threw it in, then turned and went to the east room. In the room, Mu Yuan was lying in a large font and domineeringly occupying most of the kang. comfortable.

An Ran couldn't care about anything because she was in a hurry, so she stepped forward to push Mu Yuan, and when she saw Mu Yuan woke up, she said anxiously: "It's not good, Brother Mu, I caused trouble!"

"What?" Mu Yuan was so sleepy that his head was muddled.

An Ran whispered in shame: "I, dad asked us how much money we made this morning, and I told you everything because of my elation..."

Before Mu Yuan could react, he said in a daze, "Let's just say it, we didn't steal the money."

"Oh!" An Ran became anxious, and scolded: "Brother Mu, are you sleepy? Dad asked us how many fish we sold and how we got so much money. What should I say?"

Hearing this, Mu Yuan was completely awake, and he himself

Forgot about this, Uncle An doesn't know about space.

Mu Yuan scratched his head irritably and asked, "How did you answer?"

An Ran lowered her head and said guiltily: "I said I didn't know, you sold the fish, and I just beat you..."

"..." Mu Yuan blacked out, "Aren't you stupid, if you get into trouble, just leave the problem to me!"

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean it! I don't know what to say when Dad asks that!" An Ran looked aggrieved, as if she wanted to cry.

Mu Yuan looked at it and said quickly: "Okay, I didn't blame you, it's such a big deal! Don't worry about it, let me think about it, you can go to work first!"

An Ran pouted and nodded with a low expression: "Then I'll go out and cook!"

"Hmm... by the way, get some of the Meisha-flavored meat that I brought back last night!"

When An Ran heard it, she burst out laughing: "It's Meixiang pork slices!"

Mu Yuan acted like he had suddenly realized, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Yes, it is it, isn't it just a plate of beef, and it has such an elegant name! When I ordered it, I thought it was something good!"

"Haha, I'll cut the beef for you!" An Ran went out with a smile.

As soon as An Ran left, Mu Yuan became frowning, how can this be explained?Could it be that he also told Uncle An that he has a space?No, no, Uncle An is not like an idiot like An Ran, what if he gets scared out of his wits?But how should I explain it?An Ran, you little idiot, I am so worried!

When it was time to have breakfast, Mu Yuan didn't think of a way.

Uncle An took out the 20 taels of silver that Mu Yuan gave and put it on the table and said, "It really doesn't make sense to ask for your money any more. An Ran should help!"

Mu Yuan frowned, sighed deliberately, and said, "Hey! It seems that Uncle An won't let me live here!"

When Old Man An heard this, he hurriedly said: "What is this? It is our blessing that you can live here, but you have already helped us a lot. If you give us more money, it will really make the old man feel ashamed!"

Mu Yuan said seriously: "Uncle An, I told you before, I can't go back to my family, and I don't have any relatives here. I like An Ran very much, and I always treat him like my own brother. To you, I also consider myself a family member. I eat and live here with you, and I don’t know how to do any work. The meals are prepared by An Ran every day. To put it bluntly, I haven’t even washed a bowl ! If you still refuse to accept the money, then I should be the one who is ashamed!"

Father An said with relief: "At the beginning when you applied for the registration of the fish pond, it has already fallen into our family, and you are the one who settled down in our family.

, It is also appropriate to eat and live here! "

Hearing this, An Ran smiled and nodded aside: "That's right! Brother Mu! This will be your home from now on, and it's only natural for you to eat when I cook!"

Mu Yuan was moved but embarrassed to reveal it, so he deliberately said: "Since we are a family, why don't you want my money, Uncle An?"

"This..." Father An hesitated for a moment, he was really embarrassed to accept the money.

Mu Yuan winked at An Ran, and An Ran said to Father An knowingly: "Father, put it away, Brother Mu is right, since you are a family, don't be so polite, otherwise Brother Mu will feel uncomfortable living at home!"

Hearing this, Father An put away the silver, and said a little embarrassedly: "Since that's the case, I'll put it away. Don't be polite when you live at home in the future!"

Mu Yuan grinned and said, "I'm a thick-skinned person who has never been polite, isn't it Xiao Yu!" He said and took a piece of beef for Xiao Yu.

I don't know if Xiao Yu understood what it meant, but she nodded with a smile, which made An Ran and Father An laugh.

Father An sighed: "I never thought that raising fish would be so profitable!"

An Ran shrank her neck when she heard this, and carefully glanced at Mu Yuan secretly.

Mu Yuan didn't show any emotion on his face, and said with a big grin, "The fish I raise are good, and the vegetables I make are fat and delicious, so they are sold at a high price, which naturally makes me more money than others!"

"Oh!" Father An nodded, and didn't intend to pursue further questions. Mu Yuan's ability to make money is his ability. In fact, there is nothing to ask about this matter, so he just nodded and started to eat. .

Didn't expect it to pass easily like this?An Ran and Mu Yuan looked at each other, An Ran stuck out his tongue slightly, and Mu Yuan gave him a supercilious look.

Because there is nothing to do in the field for the past two days, Father An and An Ran don't need to go to the field. It is rare for Father An to rest. He will sit on the stone bench in the yard, squinting his eyes and smoking a pipe, looking contented. An Ran took Xiao Yu and Mu Yuan to the fish pond.

Standing by the fish pond, Mu Yuan planned, space is something that must never be exposed, if someone finds out, then he must be killed.In this case, I need to dig a few more fish ponds. Anyway, the acre of land I bought is still vacant, so I might as well open up a few more fish ponds and ask Uncle An and An Ran to help raise fish normally. This also saves them from working in the fields every day, and they can't earn much.

Mu Yuan said to An Ran who was teasing Xiao Yu: "Tell me, how about I dig a few more fish ponds? Look, there are still so many open spaces here!"

An Ran heard the words and looked around.

This place said: "It's okay, so many places have been left unused, it's a waste!"

Mu Yuan smiled and said: "I think after digging a few more fish ponds, you and Uncle An will stop farming, and you can just take care of these fish ponds! You can't make much money by farming the land for a year. Tired and hard, last time you fell and almost hit your neck."

An Ran hesitated and said: "If you don't plant the land, I'm afraid Dad doesn't want it. Dad has been farming all his life. If you want him to give up suddenly, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Uh, why?" Mu Yuan didn't understand the farmer's mentality.

An Ran said helplessly: "Anyway, Dad won't be willing!"

"What about you? Do you plan to plant the land for a lifetime?"

An Ran was stunned, and said for a while: "I don't know, I have been working in the fields with my father since I was a child, and I don't know anything else when I grow up."

Mu Yuan didn't force it: "Forget it, let's not talk about this issue for now. You should think about it when you go back, but I think farming is too hard, and there is no guarantee for relying on the sky to eat!"

An Ran nodded in a daze.

Xiao Yu looked at this and then that, and suddenly said: "I want to play with Xiao Huang!"

Mu Yuan was puzzled: "Xiao Huang? A child in the village?"

An Ran's black line quickly explained: "It's not a child, Xiao Huang is a puppy bought last time!"

Suddenly talking about this dog, Mu Yuan remembered what happened, but it seemed that he had never seen it at home, so he asked confusedly: "Where is the dog?"

An Ran said: "The dog is at Brother Xu's house, didn't you see it last time?"

Mu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling very sad and indignant, what did you see, Xu Changlin never let me in at all!

"What's wrong?" An Ran asked puzzled seeing his expression was wrong.

Mu Yuan changed the topic as if nothing had happened: "Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen Xu Changlin go to the field. What is he doing?"

An Ran smiled and said: "Brother Xu is a scholar, and he is going to take the No. [-] examination!"

"Huh? He's a scholar?" Mu Yuan found it incredible. "Can a scholar directly take the No. [-] Scholar exam? I remember that there should be other exams, right?"

"Uh, if we are admitted as a scholar, we can take the No. [-] Scholar exam. The imperial examination is held every four years. If Grandma Xu hadn't suddenly fallen ill last time, maybe Big Brother Xu could have been admitted to the No. [-] Scholar!"

Mu Yuan looked suspicious: "Is he so powerful?"

An Ran suddenly sighed in frustration and said, "I also thought about learning to read and write!"

Mu Yuan comforted softly: "It's not too late now, if you want to learn, I'll invite you a home

teach! "

An Ran smiled and shook her head, "Let's forget it, actually I'm not very smart, brother Xu taught me how to write my name, I've been learning it for a long time!"

Just as Mu Yuan was about to say something, he was interrupted by Xiao Yu who had been ignored for a long time: "I want to play with Xiao Huang!"

An Ran picked up Xiao Yu and said to Mu Yuan, "I'll send him to Big Brother Xu!"

"Well! I went back to the house too!"

When Mu Yuan entered the door, he found that there were guests at home, sitting in the living room and talking with Father An for some reason.

The man laughed when he saw Mu Yuan coming in, and said to Father An: "Aren't you coming back now!"

Old Man An's face seemed to be in a bad mood, and he introduced to Mu Yuan, "This is Xu Shuzheng, the manager of the Xu Family Village."

Mu Yuan didn't quite know what the status of the manager was, so he smiled lightly and said, "I don't know what you want from me?"

Xu Shuzheng smiled and said, "It's not really a big deal, I just heard that little brother Mu is now raising fish? Hehe, there is only one old well in this village, and the whole village relies on it for drinking water. This fish farming... I'm afraid it needs to be used." A lot, right?"

Mu Yuan understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, so he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the water for fish farming is transported from the river, and well water is not usable!"

Xu Shuzheng was taken aback when he heard the words, and then quickly reacted and laughed: "That's right, that's really disturbing, in fact, I also heard people talking about this, I'm afraid it's a errand, I'm really sorry!"

Mu Yuan also laughed and said: "It's okay, I'm afraid others didn't know the truth so they misrepresented it. I will never waste the water used for eating in the village!"

Xu Shuzheng smiled apologetically, said a few more words of apology, and left.

As soon as the person left, Mu Yuan immediately asked Father An, "Uncle, what's the matter with this person?"

Old man An said in a muffled voice: "This is a member of the clan, I'm afraid some people will go over and chew their tongue because of your fish farming."

Mu Yuan laughed and said, "I've just sold fish once, and no one knows how much I've made. What's there to be greedy for?"

Old Man An said: "It is precisely because they don't know that some people guess how much the big barrel of fish was sold for."

Mu Yuan frowned upon hearing this.

Father An said again: "Most people in the village don't really have any bad intentions, it's just that a few of them don't want to see others, so don't take it to heart!"

Mu Yuan nodded and said, "I'll just pay more attention in the future."

Back in the house, Mu Yuan was a little irritable, the joy of making money for the first time was completely spoiled by this matter.

Originally

I was thinking about digging more fishponds, but now that I think about it, I'd better forget about it, it's better to keep a low profile and make money quietly.Anyway, Uncle An may not necessarily want to build this fish pond. Since this is the case, he simply doesn't want to dig it. The fish ponds outside are all for people to see. The key is to develop more in the space.

An Ran didn't come back with Xiao Yu until noon, and immediately went to the kitchen to make lunch as soon as she entered the house, and Mu Yuan didn't bother.

After lunch, Father An carried Xiao Yu into the room to take a nap. Then Mu Yuan took An Ran and told about Xu Shuzheng's visit in the morning. After thinking about it for a long time, the two of them couldn't come up with this gossip. Who are the root people.

Mu Yuan directly said that An Ran is an idiot, who has lived in the village for so long and yet is so unfamiliar with the villagers, but An Ran was dissatisfied and said that she is not a woman and is not good at gossip, how could she know such details.

As they talked, the two began to fight, and the question of who was gossiping was forgotten.

After dinner at night, Mu Yuan took a comfortable bath, and was pulled up by An Ran as soon as he got into bed.

Seeing the two shovels in An Ran's hand, Mu Yuan asked in bewilderment, "What do you want?"

An Ran said seriously: "Let's enter the space now and start digging the fish pond!"

"Ah?" Mu Yuan said lazily, "I just washed it, wait until next time!"

"No! Next time you have to push again, I don't believe you!" An Ran didn't give in at all.

Mu Yuan saw that he could not escape the fate of hard labor tonight, so he sighed helplessly, and took An Ran into the space.

As soon as he entered the space, he saw An Ran pointing at the empty mountain and said dissatisfiedly: "You still talk about planting trees, but it's been a long time, and you haven't seen a single one!"

Mu Yuan was embarrassed. Ever since he left Yuan Yuan restaurant, he lived in An's house every day. Someone made clothes and someone washed them. As a result, his laziness relapsed again.

Mu Yuan put on a fight and said, "Isn't that waiting for you to give me an idea? You haven't told me what to plant yet!"

An Ran doesn't like Mu Yuan's tricks at all now, and said contemptuously, "Then why don't you dig the tree hole first?"

Mu Yuan was shocked, this little rabbit An Ran could actually bite people?

Hong Dou ran over and rubbed against Mu Yuan, Mu Yuan touched Hong Dou and said pitifully: "See, the master is despised by others, you can elope with me!"

As he said that, he was about to get on the horse, but An Ran grabbed him before he got up.

An Ran helplessly shouted: "Brother Mu! Don't think about running away anymore, let's dig now!!"

Mu Yuan's black line, it seems that there is really no escape, so he has no choice but to go forward and take the handed by An Ran.

shovel.

An Ran asked, "Are we digging there?"

"Let me see the terrain!"

Mu Yuan spent a long time choosing, and found a place closer to the river to start digging. Seeing this, An Ran also ran to dig.

After digging twice, Mu Yuan suddenly said: "It's better not to dig it. If you dig such a big hole, what if you accidentally fall into it when the red beans are exercising?"

An Ran said without raising her head, "Hong Dou is not so stupid!"

Hongdou echoed and yelled from the side.

Mu Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth, the little rabbit has gone wild, it's not easy to raise!

The two dug hard for half an hour before they dug a hole that was 6 meters long, 2 meters wide and [-] meter deep.

Mu Yuan was panting tiredly and sweating profusely, but An Ran's physical strength was even better than Mu Yuan's, and he was only slightly panting.

Mu Yuan climbed out of the pit and lay down on the grass and shouted to An Ran: "No, An Ran will come out and have a rest!"

"Okay!" An Ran also stopped what she was doing, and climbed out of the pit.

Mu Yuan flattered him, "Should we come here today? I really have no energy!"

An Ran laughed softly: "Brother Mu, you are so useless!"

Mu Yuan vomited blood, but he really didn't have the strength to make him trouble, so he could only hum to An Ran.

Mu Yuan rested for a while, regained some strength, then got up, took off his clothes and jumped into the river.

Mu Yuan shouted in the river: "Come down safely!"

After all, An Ran was still old-fashioned, and couldn't accept being naked in front of people like this, so she blushed and shyly shouted: "I won't go down!"

Mu Yuan laughed loudly in the water, and he didn't force himself, and had a good time on his own.

An Ran washed her face, and felt embarrassed to watch Mu Yuan take a bath, so she got up and went to play with Hongdou.

After Mu Yuan finished washing and getting dressed, the two of them left the space.

After putting the shovel away, as soon as the two of them lay down on the kang, they heard Uncle An shouting in the yard: "Of course! Xiaoyuan! Are you here! Something happened!"
