On this day, Zhang Fangyuan drove his carriage to the city to sell meat again, and Xu He also went to the city to buy some corn seeds. The corn seeds left over from last year were a bit damaged, so he had to go to the city to buy some to fill them up. Zhang Fangyuan could be regarded as waiting for Xu He's opportunity to go to the city, and happily called people to come with him.

There was pork at the back of the cart, and Zhang Fangyuan and Xu He sat side by side in the front. When they met villagers who wanted a ride, Zhang Fangyuan would not take it even if they gave him money. Normally, he would take it along. Today, Xu He went to the city. Here, he was the only one sitting in his own ox cart.

"Did the family give you money to buy seeds?"

"Given it."

"That's good." Zhang Fangyuan drove the horse, and said: "Then go to the city later, I will take you to see my shop, and you will know the way in the future, and you can go there directly in the city Find me."

Xu He did not refuse.

"I don't have much meat left, and it can be sold out today. You stay in the city for a while, and I will take you to a restaurant in the city for lunch at noon."

Xu He hurriedly said: "What are you doing with this money! It's so expensive to eat out."

Zhang Fangyuan smiled and showed his eight big white teeth: "You're going to take care of me before you get married?"

Xu He's ears warmed up: "Who wants to care about you."

"Take care of it, take care of it." Zhang Fangyuan touched the back of Xu He's hand with the back of his hand, flattering him, "I'll let you take care of it."

Xu He didn't answer his words.

Zhang Fangyuan took a deep breath, opened his hands and exhaled, and said: "It's a bit cold in spring, the wind blowing in the morning is strangely cold, and my hands are a little stiff."

Xu He raised his eyes to glance at the person, and then lowered them slightly, not to mention that the weather in March will not be cold any longer, and today is sunny again, so it is so cold: "In the future, I will wear two more clothes when I go to the city. pieces."

Zhang Fangyuan's jaw dropped a little, and he frowned, apparently dissatisfied with Xu He's answer.

He wriggled around, feeling that he couldn't use gentle tactics to deal with Xu He, so he just had no skin and no face: "You hold Largo's hand again."

Xu He rolled his eyes, but he still spoke the truth, but he didn't comply with his request, so the man couldn't just let it go: "Drive well."

"I can drive a car with one hand, and Xiao Hei is very stable. It's not empty if the other hand is empty."

"When we get to the city, I'll give you the first paper, okay?"

"There is a jewelry workshop opposite the meat market. Shall I take you to buy hairbands again?"

No matter how much Zhang Fangyuan entangled Xu He, he did not move like a mountain, his eyes were only on the front, he did not listen to his coaxing words, and after a while he said: "You used to coax other girls like this?"

Zhang Fangyuan's pupils dilated, and the movement of pulling the rein obviously became much clumsy: "I've never coaxed anyone before!"

Xu He glanced sideways at him with a half-smile, making Zhang Fangyuan feel hairy all over.

"I'm serious!"

"Coming."

Xu Hefu looked ahead again, and he could already see the city gate.

Zhang Fangyuan wanted to argue for a while, but Xu He said directly: "I'm too lazy to listen to your nonsense."

Zhang Fangyuan had no choice but to shut up, and drove the carriage all the way to the meat market.

Today, a little later than usual, the flow of horses and horses in the city is much more, and the entry into the city is much slower, and you have to stop for a while after walking for a while.

When we arrived at the meat market, it was already bustling inside. It was the first time for Xu He to come to the meat market. Their family seldom bought fresh meat to eat. Most of the meat they ate could only be eaten by slaughtering pigs at the end of the year. It was eaten on weekdays. Pork is all bacon, and even if he eats fresh meat once, it's not his turn to buy it.

He looked around and followed Zhang Fangyuan, like a child who hadn't seen much of the world.

Seeing that Zhang Fangyuan was about to move the meat to the stall, he was about to help, but Zhang Fangyuan threw most of the pork directly onto his shoulder, and carried it away by himself.

Xu He pursed his lips, this butcher!

"Hey! Butcher Zhang brought his younger brother here today?"

Zhang Fangyuan has also worked in the meat market for almost two months, and he is a familiar face. The butcher next to the stall is squatting on the stone pier and sucking noodles. It is quite strange to see Zhang Fangyuan, who usually goes out of the stall alone. He led a little brother and greeted him.

"No." Zhang Fangyuan put the pork on the chopping board, and looked back at Xu He: "This is my wife."

"Oh~ it's the first time I saw you bring your husband out."

Xu He's ears were reddened by Zhang Fangyuan's blunt embarrassment, but he felt warmed by his undisguised approval. He knew that his appearance would not be enough to be on the stage, but Zhang Fangyuan seemed It's like never thinking about these things before, but I feel that I am honoring him by being by his side.

He didn't listen to the conversation between the two of them anymore, and went to Zhang Fangyuan's stall to help sort out the tools and cutting boards, and wiped the stall with a handkerchief.

"I'm going to buy seeds first."

Zhang Fangyuan wiped his knife: "Go."

In the end, he was afraid that people would run away, so he put down the knife and grabbed Xu He's wrist: "After shopping, come back here, let's go back together."

Xu He nodded.

The people at the stalls around looked at the two people's cooperation very tacitly, and thought that the two had been married for a long time. The woman's eyes showed some envy. Zhang Fangyuan was not very good at outsiders, but he seemed to be quite good with his wife. .

"The relationship between you two is really good." The butcher at the side saw Xu He leave, and said to Zhang Fangyuan with a smile.

Zhang Fangyuan is very happy to be praised like this, so he said cheekily, "That's not true."

During the spring plowing period, every grain store in the city has opened up their shops, one is to make it easier for the hired farmers to go to the owner to get the seeds, and the other is to sell the seeds. The city is very lively, and there are villagers from nearby villages who come to sell wild vegetables, such as spring buds, prickly buds, tender wormwood, bracken, spring bamboo shoots...

Both sides of the street where stalls can be set up are full of spring dishes, and there are many people who come to buy and inquire, and the morning market is really lively.

Xu He's heart itch. He also wants to get some wild vegetables to sell. There are a lot of wild onions in the village, and the dumplings are very delicious. In previous years, he might dig some spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables to sell, but this year he can't. His father was raised on the bed, Xu Shaochun took care of his father, and his mother went to the tea factory to pick tea... The family's 18 mu of land was almost managed by him alone, and he couldn't spare a little time to go up the mountain to dig spring bamboo shoots and wild vegetables for sale.

After the spring plowing is over, the wild vegetables in the mountains are almost gone.

He sighed slightly, but he was going to get married next month, and he would already be married by then, so he would definitely have to take care of the affairs of his husband's family, no matter how close he was to his natal family, there was no reason for him to take care of the crops all the time.

I remember that Zhang Fangyuan told him that his fourth uncle's family is managing their land, and this year they have started to cultivate. He bought the seeds with his own money, and gave some money to the fourth uncle's family. In the past, there is no need to continue to be busy with spring plowing.

In this way, maybe we can catch up with the spring.

As he thought about it, he went into the grain shop that sold grain before to buy some grain seeds, but it was still early when he came out.

After touching his pocket, he turned around and went to the cloth store again, and picked up some needlework and small pieces of fabric. It didn't cost much, but he really didn't have any spare money to spend.

"Out."

"A lot of people gathered outside the academy early in the morning."

"Your family Erlang is going to end this year, right?"

"There are more and more people taking the scientific examination, and the results that can be passed in previous years may not be able to pass this year."

Xu He tilted his head and saw a few women talking, the voices were not low, so he listened to it, and then remembered that the college entrance examination was over, and today's rankings were released.

He subconsciously thought of Fei Lian, and he didn't know whether he passed the exam. Although it had nothing to do with him, he would be his brother-in-law in the future. He remembered that his mother had told him to go and see the list yesterday. . His eyebrows twitched, he really missed something when he saw Zhang Fangyuan, and almost forgot his mother's confession, thanks to hearing the discussion.

When he bought good things, he went straight to Shochiku Academy, and the college examination list was posted outside the academy.

It's not too early for Xu He to read the list these days, so those who are anxious to read the list also read the list. At this time, there are not many people outside the academy, and most of them are curious people who came forward to take a look.

He walked into the list and glanced at the densely packed names on it. He was a little embarrassed. He didn't know Fei Lian's name at all, so he had to ask the person next to him who could read for help.

There are also kind-hearted people who are willing to help him find it.

"Fei Lian...Fei Lian...don't worry, I'll look carefully. This year, more than 60 talents have been recruited, so you have to look slowly."

Xu He stood beside him, waiting patiently: "Fei Lian..."

The person who just came out of the academy heard someone calling himself at the door, and subconsciously followed the sound: "Brother He, why are you here!"

Xu He didn't expect to see the main character after looking at the list. He nodded and greeted Fei Lian.

Fei Lian was obviously a little happy to see the man, and looked around at the classmates who had come out of the academy repeatedly, and saw that the classmates frequently looked at this side, and seemed to be whispering, he slightly lowered his head, and called Xu He aside: " Are you here to see the list?"

Xu He nodded sincerely: "My mother..."

"I've won!" Fei Lian interrupted Xu He's words, his eyes were radiant, there was nothing better than when he happened to meet the person he liked and cared about him when he was proud of his career: "I am going back to the village to report the good news to my mother. "

Xu He thought that his mother and second sister would be relieved now, and remembering that Fei Lian had taught him to write two characters, he congratulated, "Congratulations Fei Tong... No, it's Fei Xiucai now."

Fei Lian Qingjun smiled, but thinking about the arrangements at home, seeing the person in front of him again, a bitterness appeared in his smile.

"Just now I heard that the number of people in this scientific examination is large, and the number of people hired is less than in previous years. Fei Xiucai is really talented and has a bright future."

"Yeah, it's not easy to take the exam this year. It's a fluke, and the ranking is not very good."

"It's great to be able to hit it."

Fei Lian raised his eyebrows. Xu He usually seldom talked, but seeing him say a few more words made people feel more comfortable than anyone's flattery.

He neglected to think that since he was already a scholar, he was given monthly silver, and the court rewarded him with land, he also had the ability to support his family, and overnight, their Fei family became an excellent family in the village, so... Why not fight for yourself once?

Among the classmates, there are many people who are more than just wives. Brother He is unpretentious, maybe he will agree: "Brother He, if..."

"I haven't seen you for a long time, so I came here!"

Before he could utter the unspeakable words, he was interrupted by a rough and loud voice. When he raised his head, it turned out to be Zhang Fangyuan, a butcher with teeth and claws in the village. Fei Lian was slightly taken aback, the two had never met before, how could he appear here?

Seeing that Zhang Fangyuan came to look for him, Xu He couldn't help asking: "The meat is sold out so quickly?"

Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He, and it was written in his eyes that it was sold out long ago, and I will wait for you not to come back for a long time. But his mouth was stiff, he just didn't answer, and kept his mouth shut to express that he was very upset.

Xu He knew that this person was taller than anyone else, but his heart was smaller than anyone else.

Although he and Fei Lian had nothing, Zhang Fangyuan was hostile to Fei Lian. In order not to add to the dispute, he reached out and grabbed Zhang Fangyuan's big palm, shaking it: "I'm asking you something."
