Nanshanxia

During Zhu Yan's recuperation period, he and Yuan Xiao asked many things about the current dynasty. Yuan Xiao also answered Zhu Yan's questions in detail without any sign of boredom because Zhu Yan was a fool before. , Whenever he had time, he would talk with Zhu Yan in the room, which helped Zhu Yan a lot.

From this, Zhu Yan also discovered that the dynasty he traveled through now is an overhead dynasty that did not exist in history. Here, farming and mulberry are valued, and they have lived a self-sufficient and peaceful life all year round.

However, the location of the village where Zhu Yan lives is not good, and because of the floods in the past few years, the water and soil used for farming are far less than other villages, and the grain harvest has gradually declined, so it is getting poorer and poorer. After all, this is a poor village. village.

And Zhu’s family has more mouths to eat because there are more people in the family, so in addition to planting beans at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, the men also grind beans to make tofu, and the women weave and dye cloth to subsidize the family.

In addition to knowing the current living conditions, Zhu Yan also knew that men here are divided into men and men. Brothers are slightly shorter than normal men, and there is a red mole between their eyebrows that proves their fertility. Compared with normal men, his appearance is more refined, his skin is fairer, but his strength is slightly inferior.

After listening to Yuan Xiao's explanation, Zhu Yan realized why everyone accepted men and women to live together so easily. He looked at Yuan Xiao who was repairing the wooden bed in front of his eyes, and murmured in his heart, so that he could easily The man who picks up an ax and splits wood in half, is he really a brother?Apart from his fair appearance and soft speech, this person is very different from his brother's setting.

"Ayan, are you thirsty?" Yuan Xiao modified his wooden bed under the scorching sun. Since last night, he found that his wooden bed would make a loud noise whenever he turned over a little. He hadn't noticed it before. For this problem, he can only fix the wooden bed quickly, otherwise it will be bad if it disturbs Zhu Yan's sleep.

Because of Yuan Xiao's work and the hotter weather, her fair face was stained with a blush, and the beads of sweat on her forehead wetted her coarse cloth and short brown body.

Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Xiao like that, and he also became hot. He got up and ignored the sun, came to Yuan Xiao, gave Yuan Xiao a dry handkerchief to wipe off sweat, and he followed Yuan Xiao. Squat down and help Yuan Xiao tidy up the wooden bed.

Now the grandmother of the Zhu family took the female relatives to work in the fields, and the grandfather took the uncle and cousin out to sell tofu. Now there are only Zhu Yan who is recuperating and Yuan Xiao who is taking care of the sick. Relaxed a lot, he approached and observed Yuan Xiao's wooden bed, he was shocked at the moment, the structure of this wooden bed is really too simple, under the old wooden board, there are four thin wooden legs supporting it. If a dishonest person sleeps on it, it may be crushed to pieces in less than one night.

"Did you make this bed yourself?" Zhu Yan still couldn't help complaining about the dilapidated wooden bed in front of him.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiao shook his head, "I didn't do it. When I came to your house when I was a child, you hated me and wouldn't let me sleep with you. Grandma and mother couldn't stand it anymore, so they partnered to make it for me." Now that I have grown up, this bed seems to be unable to support me, so I want to add another leg to him."

"Add a leg?" Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows in his mind, thinking about the old wooden bed with many legs, sighed and shook his head, held back for a long time, pretending to say unintentionally: "The legs are still too thin, It would be nice if it was thicker."

"Thicker?" Yuan Xiao lowered his eyes to think deeply about Zhu Yan's words. His thick black eyelashes looked more playful in the sunlight. After thinking for a long time, he still didn't understand. At the same time, he felt a little stupid. Zhu Yan was once a fool. How could he even believe Zhu Yan's words?

Yuan Xiao shook his head in confusion, intending to continue with the work he was doing, but he accidentally glanced at Zhu Yan beside him, took an empty vegetable basket, and supported it with a few slender willow branches The vegetable basket, he found that the vegetable basket was very unstable, and then he saw that Zhu Yan took four thicker wooden stakes to support the vegetable basket. The vegetable basket was no longer as shaky as before, but stood extremely firmly in front of Yuan Xiao. At this time, Yuan Xiao Only then did he suddenly realize that he smiled brightly at Zhu Yan, his brows and eyes were full of joy, "Ah Yan, you are so smart."

"Where, where, you are smart." Zhu Yan was a little flustered by Yuan Xiao's bright smile. He turned around and began to help Yuan Xiao find thicker wood for bed legs. Now the hot sun in the dog days, recalling Yuan Xiao's smiling face just now, he suddenly felt that the sun above his head didn't seem to shine so brightly.

With the joint efforts of Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao, the wooden bed was finally repaired. Compared with the pitifully thin legs of the bed before, the four thick wooden legs now support the wooden bed more firmly. Not only that, Zhu Yan also helped Yuan Xiao improve the size of the wooden bed, making Yuan Xiao sleep more comfortably.

"Go up and have a try." Zhu Yan helped Yuan Xiao put the wooden bed into the room, and urged Yuan Xiao, who kept wiping the bed with a rag, to lie on it and have a try.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Xiao smiled again, this time his smiling face was that kind of contented smile, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, and his tone was brisk, "Let's not do it now, it looks solid, I'll go clean the yard first, after sweeping the yard, we should make dinner Ah, grandma and the others are coming back soon."

"Well, let me help you sweep the yard." Zhu Yan couldn't rest for a moment, he followed behind Yuan Xiao, and also found a bamboo broom, followed Yuan Xiao to sweep the floor.

Yuan Xiao found that Zhu Yan had not only become smarter, but also seemed to be more friendly to himself than before. He is not a person who does not know how to reciprocate. I make a wooden bed, and now I’m working again, I’m afraid my bones won’t be able to support me.”

"I'm fine. I've been in good health for the past two days. Sweeping the floor is very easy for me." In order to prove himself, Zhu Yan waved the bamboo broom in his hand a few times under Yuan Xiao's gaze, and bared his teeth at Yuan Xiao smile.

Yuan Xiao seemed to believe Zhu Yan's words, he nodded, and told Zhu Yan, "Ah Yan, then you can sweep the yard here, I happened to go to the kitchen to cook, if you are tired, throw the broom on the ground and come back I'll just keep scanning."

"Don't worry, I will definitely clean it up for you." Zhu Yan looked at Yuan Xiao's way of looking back three times, and showed a reassuring smile. When he couldn't see Yuan Xiao's figure, he started to sweep with a bamboo broom up.

Bamboo broom is a must-have tool for local farmers to sweep the yard. The broom is made of bamboo branches and is a little loose, so it is not used to sweep the house. It is just right for sweeping wood chips and leaves in the yard.

Although the village is poor and every family is poor, the Zhu family’s yard is not small. It has everything you need from east to west, hall rooms and storage rooms. It is spacious and bright. Zhu Yan heard Yuan Xiao once said that the ancestors of the Zhu family were landlords, but they could only be rich for three generations. Grandpa Zhu Yan's generation began to decline, and the original owner's father, who spends a lot of time all day long, completely exhausted the family fortune. This is one of the reasons why the old lady Zhu insisted on separating from Zhu's second son.

After Zhu Yan finished sweeping the yard, his body was covered with sweat. He put the bamboo broom into the warehouse, and planned to fetch a basin of water from his well to wash his face.

At this time, Yuan Xiao came out of the kitchen. Seeing that Zhu Yan was about to wash his face with cold water, he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and took the washbasin from Zhu Yan's hand, "I'll boil hot water for you to wash your face. Washing your face with cold water will catch a cold."

"Ah?" Before Zhu Yan could react in the future, he watched Yuan Xiao come in and out to boil water for himself.

After washing his face, Zhu Yan wiped his body with hot water. When he came out of the room, there was a sound of cooking in the kitchen. He approached the kitchen and watched Yuan Xiao busy before and after. Ready to help, the door of the house was opened.

"Auntie!" Seeing the old lady Zhu, Zhu Yan called out to the old lady. From his point of view, the old lady is sincere to the original owner. Now that he is living for the original owner, he naturally wants to show more filial piety for the original owner. The happy old lady in front of her.

"Hey!" The old lady Zhu listened to her grandson's "Grandma" and her tired body suddenly regained strength. She smiled until her eyes narrowed into a line, put down the farm tools on her body, and walked away. Going to Zhu Yan's side and looking back and forth, "Are you feeling unwell today?"

"No, Yuan Xiao took good care of me."

"That's good. I can rest assured that Yuan Xiao will do things." After talking with Zhu Yan, the old lady went to the back of the house to fetch water to wash her face and prepare for dinner.

After everyone cleaned up their personal hygiene, Yuan Xiao and Bai Zhen also put the food on the table. Due to the current living conditions, Zhu's family usually cooks ordinary farm food. The taste of corn paste served with corn tortillas is not as good as that of white rice. , but the most resistant to hunger.

A few small pickles in chili oil, and a pot of stewed pumpkin with lentils, all tasted delicious. I wish the old lady and others a busy day, and they worked hard to eat.

But Zhu Yan's cousin, Zhu Chunya, had a sullen face, fiddled with the corn paste in the bowl with the chopsticks in her hand, frowning with a preoccupied look.

"Chunya, what are you doing now!" Bai Zhen put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, blinking her eyes non-stop, telling Zhu Chunya to eat quickly.

However, Zhu Chunya didn't understand her mother's intention at all, put down the chopsticks in her hand with her mouth pouted, glanced at the food in front of her, and said quietly: "I heard from Zhu Youcai that his family is eating stewed meat again tonight, why don't you eat it?" Why don’t we have one at home!”

"You damn girl, why don't you mention your second uncle's house? Get out of the table if you don't eat." Boss Zhu, who used to be silent in the past, peeked at his mother's face, which was getting darker and darker, and cursed in haste Zhu Chunya, if he doesn't clean up Zhu Chunya at this time, he will be the one who will be cleaned up later.

When Zhu Chunya heard her father scolded her, her eyes turned red immediately. She pursed her mouth and wanted to continue to defend herself, but when she saw the big black face of the old lady Zhu, she immediately stopped talking. Speaking of which, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat tonight.

Bai Zhen next to her looked at her mother-in-law's black coal-like face, and made a gesture to change the subject, but unexpectedly she was too late.

I only heard the old lady Zhu smash the chopsticks on the table with a "snap", which startled the old man Zhu who bowed his head and said nothing, but she disapproved and said to Zhu Chunya at the other end of the dining table: "It's okay to mention it." What are you doing with that crap, if you don't want to eat, just let me out, don't talk nonsense here, and disturb my grandson's mood to eat."

"I... I didn't say I wouldn't eat, Grandma." Faced with the old lady Zhu's condensed expression, Zhu Chunya was still timid. Before the old lady Zhu could speak, she hurriedly swallowed all the food in her bowl Then he left quietly.

"Grandma, don't be angry, cousin Chunya, she..."

The old lady Zhu interrupted Zhu Yan's words, and gave Zhu Yan a piece of food with chopsticks, "Okay, Ah Yan, you don't have to speak for her, she said something wrong, don't worry about it this time, maybe she will say something next time .”

It's all said to this point, Zhu Yan can't say anything more, so he can only imitate Yuan Xiao's head and eat food. At the same time, he also knows why the old lady Zhu is so angry. Second child.

After dinner, Zhu Yan and Yuan Xiao washed the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen. The old man Zhu took his eldest son Zhu Boss and grandson Zhu Tiedan to water the field. I can rely on the well water at home to water the vegetable garden, while Bai Zhen preaches in Zhu Chunya's room.

The evening at the farmhouse was peaceful for a while, but it was broken by the old lady Zhu shouting at the door.
