The new year passed in a leisurely manner, and the new year was over after the fifteenth day. Soon it was the end of January, and people in the village picked up their work one after another.

Zhang Fangyuan also slaughtered another pig and left the city early and returned late.

Now everyone in the village knew that Zhang Fangyuan not only had a black and strong horse, but also started a business at a stall in the city's meat market.

Occasionally, he would help those with disabilities in the village to bring candles, salt, and salt back to the village. It was not a day to go to the market in groups. When people went to the city on the road, he would give people a free scooter when the car was empty. More and more people spoke well of him. .

Some were looking for him to buy and sell livestock, and everyone began to envy this capable young man, and then changed their minds to talk to him about making friends.

"I'm afraid it's not going to happen. I saw Zhang Fangyuan coming and going behind the door of Xu's house. He probably missed Xu Shaochun."

"That's a pity. But is it true? I want to tell him that I have a cousin."

"Really, a while ago I saw Zhang Fangyuan talking to Xu Laoxiao on the ridge of the field, and returned the things. Do you think it could be fake?"

In fact, many people in the village know that young men will give things to Xu He and then hand them over to his sister. The village still encourages this custom of handing over gifts. It is reserved and courteous, and bravely pursues the person they like. Many older people come here like this. of.

"Then what if the second girl from the Xu family doesn't take a fancy to her? Anyway, the matter hasn't come to fruition yet, so there's still room for maneuver."

Village women turned the ground to prepare for sowing, and talked about these things in their spare time.

The Xu family naturally got wind of it, and Liu Xianglan didn't say anything outside, but she was actually very beautiful in her heart. In the village, all capable and capable men who make women feel good and want to talk to each other are all staring at their house, so why can't she raise her tail.

After the spring of the new year, there are more and more sunny weather. Xu Shaochun tidied up his closet at home. He Geer washed the thick jackets he wore in winter and let He Geer wash them. After drying in the yard, he prepared to pack them into the bottom of the suitcase. He only kept two sets to wear in the cold spring. , try to turn the spring clothes to the bright side.

Liu Xianglan said in the yard: "It won't be long before the government will have to collect taxes again. I hope this year it will be a little later this year. It will be fine when the Fei family comes to collect taxes after the trial." You can pay less poll tax.

This is a problem that every family has to face, and Xu Shaochun didn't care too much: "I think so too."

There are no brothers in the family, only one daughter and younger brother, no matter how capable Xu He is, he can't be compared to a man, and his father alone supports the income of the family, and life is not easy. Fortunately, when she got married and Xu He got married, the old couple could get back some dowry gifts and save some money to enjoy their old age.

"That Zhang Fangyuan is not bad now. In fact, what your aunt said earlier is also true. As long as Zhang Fangyuan doesn't fool around, he can still make money." Liu Xianglan didn't want to admit it, but she still talked to her daughter like this: "You also love beauty when playing Xiao Shui Ling. If you follow Zhang Fangyuan, you will have more money to spend."

Xu Shaochun disagreed and said: "Mother, a scholar, a farmer, a businessman, no matter how rich he is, he is not as decent as a scholar."

"The Zhang family is a farmer, so it can't be regarded as a business, and now it's not as strict as in the past years. Even merchants can take the imperial examination. The Fei family is a good scholar and has a future, but the money for studying is also very expensive. So comfortable."

Xu Shaochun actually knew these truths too, but her mind was on Fei Tongsheng, even though she knew that Zhang Fangyuan was in good condition now, she didn't want to choose him: "That's just now, if he wins the exam, he will have a good life in the future."

In order to break her mother's thoughts, Xu Shaochun turned to Xu He, who was washing clothes beside him, and said, "Little brother, it was right that Zhang Fangyuan asked you to hand over the things to me and you didn't accept them. If he comes to you again in the future, he will give me something , you don't want it either."

Xu Shaochun took it for granted that people in the village were talking about Zhang Fangyuan sending her something, but she didn't receive it because Xu He didn't agree to help forward it. After all, this person had a very bad reputation at first, and many people were afraid of him. Xu He didn't want to It makes sense to move with him.

Xu He was listening to the two of them talking, but when Xu Shaochun opened his mouth, he didn't know how to reply.

Zhang Fangyuan asked him to give something, but it wasn't for her second sister. The mother and daughter picked it up here, and he was too embarrassed to say it.

She was thinking about explaining, but Xu He thought about it, if her sister and mother knew that Zhang Fangyuan didn't like his second sister, and the things were brought to him by the way, it would be fine if they didn't believe him. What worries him the most is that his second sister and mother are unhappy, and they will make him feel guilty when the time comes.

"Um."

"Speaking of which, it's time to show you his house. Hey, I just don't know if it's a good idea to find it." Liu Xianglan glanced at Xu He and couldn't help but sigh.

Xu He took care of the house and the house, which saved her a lot of work. She also wanted someone to work at home for a few more years, but it was not a big deal to have a few mouthfuls of food at home. Taxes are a big deal.

"Let's talk." Xu He put down two words, and went back to his room after washing his clothes.

Liu Xianglan thought he was embarrassed, so she didn't care.

After the beginning of spring, the Beishan Tea Garden has also announced that it can pick Maojianer, and the wages are higher than last year. A pound of picking can be sold for eight cents at the tea farm. Xu He knew that his second sister and mother were going to go, but he wanted to pick tea too, but his father had gone out to help, so he had to go and prepare the seeds, and it was not his turn to earn the money.

After thinking about it carefully, anyway, the money for picking tea will not fall into my own pocket, so it’s okay if I don’t go.

He glanced at his bed again. Under the pillow is the box given to him by Zhang Fangyuan.

He had looked at the hairband inside several times, and he had to say that it was really beautiful and to his liking, and it was still made of silk. Although hair bands are generally made of silk leftovers, after all, the material is there and the workmanship is good, so the price will not be cheap.

Said that he bought it when he saw it, but it was much more meticulous than the silk flowers that Zhang Fangyuan went to Guang's family to see and buy.

I don't even know what this guy means.

He had never received a gift before, and it was so good the first time he received it, but he didn't know what to do.

And it's a pity that I don't have time to bring it, oh...it seems to be the Flower Festival in a few days. But even if it is a belt, will it look good if you wear it like this?

In the past few nights, he has been thinking wildly, leaning on the headband, thinking about the person who sent the hair tie, which made him a little uneasy who is indifferent to many things.

He shook his head, not daring to touch fish during the day, he carefully put the things back under the pillow, ready to go to the ground.

"He Geer."

Xu He waved his **** with all his strength, planning to loosen the partial land today, so that he could save some trouble and go dig some wild vegetables on the mountain tomorrow.

He was doing his work in full swing, when he heard an elegant call, he raised his head: "Fei Tongsheng?"

The scholar rolled his eyes when he saw him: "How long have you been working, is it hot?"

"It's okay." Xu He looked at the scholar in green clothes, as if he was wearing the uniform of Songzhu Academy in the city. His face was white and red, his body was a little thin, and he looked like an excellent scholar.

No wonder her second sister liked her.

Thinking that this person would soon be his brother-in-law, he said politely, "Come back from the city?"

Fei Lian responded: "The college exam is about to come, and the college Xiumu asked the students to come back and rest for two days before getting ready to take the exam."

"Then I wish Fei Tongsheng a place on the list."

Fei Lian smiled slightly, and took out a piece of paper from his book bag, on which several rows of large characters were written: "Heaven, Earth, Earth, Flowers, Plants, Trees. These are eight characters, you can take them back and practice."

Seeing the slight movement between the paper's brows, Xu He wiped his hands and took it over, looking at it carefully.

Fei Lian saw that he was looking seriously, and there was a smile in the corner of his eyes: "I taught you to write your own name before. You can learn it three times with a tree branch. You can remember it faster than your sister."

Xu He is undoubtedly motivated to study, he envies people who can read and write, but the situation in his family will not allow a little brother to read and write.

"My sister's name has many more strokes than mine, so it's not as easy as mine to remember."

Fei Lian said: "But she hasn't learned it yet." She has no intention of studying.

Xu He didn't refuse Fei Lian's things, thinking that his brother-in-law taught his sister-in-law two words is nothing, but he couldn't help but feel a little strange when he said that about his second sister. But he thought it was true, he was about to get engaged, and he was considered one of his own, so he must speak modestly.

"Thank you Fei Tongsheng."

Fei Lian raised the corner of his mouth: "You're welcome, I'm a scholar, maybe I'll be teaching and educating people in the future, I'm happy to teach."

Xu He replied, Second Sister is lucky.

"Brother He, if I'm lucky enough to pass the exam..." Fei Lian suddenly spoke again, seeing Xu He's dazed look, he didn't finish his sentence.

But Xu He guessed roughly, and wanted to say: If you pass the exam, you can marry your second sister, right?

"Fei Tongsheng will definitely get what he wants."

"Really...really?"

Seeing Fei Lian's ruddy complexion, Xu He was very excited. He nodded. Fei Lian's concubine love with his second sister is naturally possible.

"well."

Xu He didn't say anything more: "Then I'll get busy first."

After wielding the **** a few times, a questioning voice suddenly sounded coldly above his head: "What did Fei Lian tell you?"

Xu He saw Zhang Fangyuan who appeared out of nowhere, his ears were reddish, and he continued to bury his head in the ground to hide his shyness when he saw him: "Why should I tell you?"

"Tell me quickly!" Zhang Fangyuan said angrily.

Xu He didn't know why this person was so domineering today, and suddenly felt aggrieved, and said in a bad mood: "Someone will come to me every now and then, and they want to send something to my second sister, maybe I have to tell you one by one. .”

"Who cares about those who want to chase after your second sister?" Zhang Fangyuan said with his tongue out, "Then Fei Lian didn't mean to talk about your second sister's business at first glance. Seeing that you are so blunt, your face was red when you left!"

"Just talking!" Xu He's heart skipped a beat, most of what he was talking about was obviously his second sister, but he just gave him a few more words, but how could this stupid big man be so smart, and he could see the difference, but... "none of your business!"

Hearing the words, Zhang Fangyuan said anxiously: "Why is it none of my business? Believe me or not if you are so stubborn..."

Before he finished speaking, Xu He said, "What's the matter, you still want to beat me!"

Zhang Fangyuan was very angry when he heard the words, and suddenly jumped down from the field ridge with a bang. Xu He was so frightened that he took a step back, and suddenly the **** in his hand was snatched away.

The vicious man brandished his **** and turned over two acres of land for him as if venting his anger. Xu He stood aside and dared not approach anyone: "You...you have something wrong!"
