In the following days, Zhang Fangyuan played the role of the Xu family's quasi-son-in-law, and Xu Changren had to go to the city to change his medicine for a follow-up visit every five or ten days.

    As long as Xu He came to ask him for help, he would quickly take the person to the medical clinic in the city with a cart, and if Liu Xianglan came to call, he would make a show for a while.

    Knowing Liu Xianglan's virtue, being too kind to her would make her felt that he was easy to handle, and he had to be fierce. In the end, she would eat a meal cooked by He ge’er at Xu's house before leaving after sending someone back.

    If it wasn't for Xu He, he wouldn't be courteous to the Xu family, and the gift money he gave was also the face of He ge’er. It could be regarded as an explanation, if he didn't give it to him, the Xu family would definitely not want to betroth He Ge'er to him, and the right thing was to waste money and eliminate disasters.

    Furthermore, He Ge’er also told him that the family had been more polite to him since the two got engaged.

    Zhang Fangyuan was not only happy that his engagement with Xu He had brought him a better life, but also happy that he would tell himself these things.

    The marriage was decided in a hurry, and he didn't have much time to prepare. In fact, getting married in a rural family was not as complicated as the rich family in the city. The gift money and banquet were very decent, but both of them cost money and effort.

    Zhang Fangyuan calculated the money in hand, but he was not rich.

    His income was from buying and selling livestock. Now he could sell a pig in three to five days, and he had to find a new one after it was sold out. In this way, if the market was good for a month, he could sell five pigs. According to the trading of five pigs, it looked like he could earn five thousand copper coins.

    In the first month, he sold two pigs, and in February, which was approaching the end of the month, he had already sold four pigs, which mean he earned about 6,000 copper coins. It cost more than 4,000 copper coins to take back the bracelet, plus with the remaining silver money before, it looked like more than 5,000 copper coins, and then half of the gift money for the Xu family, and there were only 3,000 copper coins on hand.

    Although the income was beyond the reach of ordinary farmers, there were many places to spend money recently.

    he had to give Xu He's family 1,600 copper coins, and it costed thousands copper coins to hold a wedding banquet. Apart from these big expenses, there would be new people in the family, and new furniture must be prepared.

    Zhang Fangyuan looked around at his house. Xu He didn’t say anything else when he got married. He  needed to order a new wardrobe for him. Although he was a little ge’er, he should also love beauty. The dressing table must not be missing, and two new fluffy cotton quilts must be added.

Zhang Fang, who had always been ignorant when he spent money, for the first time he started to have a headache because he didn't have enough money.

 
    He planned to sell another pig at the end of this month, one and a half pigs next month before they got married, and used the remaining half of the pigs for banquets, so that the money on hand could be spent temporarily.

    " He ge’er!"

    Zhang Fangyuan was thinking in a daze, and he didn't notice when he entered the village. He stopped Xiao Hei when he saw Xu He sowing corn seeds in the field beside the road, and he jumped out of the cart: "I'll help you."

    Xu He wiped the sweat off his forehead, and when he saw someone he hadn't seen for two days, he felt relieved unconsciously. He hastily stopped Zhang Fangyuan who was about to come forward to help, how could he help himself after after a day of exhaustion going out to find and buy livestock: "It's almost there."

    Zhang Fangyuan saw that he wouldn't let him do it, He felt that the little ge’er hadn't accepted his identity, and he didn't insist on pounced on him. Instead, he said, "What do you want to eat tonight? I just came back from slaughtering the pig. There are fresh pork and pig offal are all available."

    Xu He was about to say no, but Zhang Fangyuan had already rushed back and lifted the cloth covering the freshly slaughtered pork for him to choose.

    "Choose one, I'll go to your house for dinner tonight." Zhang Fangyuan smiled and said, "This way I don't have to cook when I go back."

    Having said that, Xu He had no reason to refuse. He climbed up from the field and looked at the fresh pork. He wanted to choose the small one. He didn't intend to take the big one. First it  would have to take Zhang Fangyuan's effort to cut it off, and the other was that a piece of pork could sell for tens of copper coins.

    "Choose the pork and put it in the water. What do you want to eat?" Xu He pretended to be flat and said, "I will cook it tonight."

    Zhang Fangyuan raised his eyebrows when he heard the words, and immediately took out the pig's belly and heart. Xu He saw this but he disagree, they were all sold at a high price, and it was not worthwhile to send them to their home: "How about heart and lung stewed radish?"

    "You don't like pork belly?"

    Xu He glanced at him , shook his head, Zhang Fangyuan knew what he meant, so he took out the heart and lungs for him, a big cage, enough to make a big pot of stew, Zhang Fangyuan also put two pork kidneys together for Xu He: "Let's fry it in a pot. I saw that the scallions you planted are round, tender and green, and the pork kidneys are just right for frying."

"Yes." The two looked at each other, They were very happy in their hearts, their eyes met for a short time, and then retracted politely in their shyness


    "Then I'll go back first, and come over later."

    Xu He responded, and Zhang Fangyuan drove the carriage home. After unloading the pork, he was going to send two pieces of pork liver to his fourth uncle's house.

    After Xu He had planted the last corn, filled half a basket of grass, and chopped half a basket of cabbage to pack into a basket, he took Zhang Fangyuan's pig heart, lungs and kidneys, which had been tied with brown leaves, went back home.
