Chapter Ninety-Six: Building a House

This is the last harvest of the year, and everyone is looking forward to a good year. Yan Yan knew that everyone worked very hard, so he made a lot of delicious food, there were several flavors of pickled vegetables alone, these were all pickled by the rainstorm, as well as bacon and duck, plus the pig that had just been killed, that is, the pig water and the pig's head could be eaten for a long time.

Although the autumn sun is not so dry, the autumn wind is very cool, and the rice dries very quickly, even if people work much faster than in summer. After cutting the rice, the crops will be harvested, and the sweet potatoes harvested in the summer are all made vermicelli except for paying taxes, Yan Yan has all made vermicelli, and even other people and his family have bought them to make vermicelli, and now they are just waiting to open a shop to do business.

Because we want to open a shop, everyone is working quickly, hoping to open the door as soon as possible to do business. When the crops were taken back, the Yan family was ready to open a shop, in fact, there was nothing to prepare, just to open a shop when everyone was free, Yan Shaojie went to the door of the shop ten days early and posted a notice on the door of the shop, explaining the day of the shop.

Early in the morning, Yan Qingshan and Yang moved their things to the ox cart, which was originally open-topped, Yan Yan asked Yan Qingshan to weave a shelf, and then hang a cloth curtain so that they could shelter from the wind and rain. It is still sold by Yang's, Plum Blossom Niang, and Yang Shuniang, and the soup base is fully prepared, Yan Shaojie has said hello to Deyilou before, and he goes to buy chicken feet, duck necks, and chops every day, and now Yan Yan has a lot of storage, plus the fish and shrimp caught by Niu Xiaoyu, this time the shop is full of materials.

Yan Yan sent Yan Qingshan away and they were about to start working, the pigs were killed and two more were arrested, and now they are feeding the chickens and ducks, washing and cooking, and they have to deal with the crops when they are finished.

This land was planted too ruthlessly, Yan Yan was afraid that he would hurt the roots, so he let Uncle Niu add the fertilizers of pig manure, chicken manure and duck manure he had saved to the ground, make up for it, and only then would it be good to plant potatoes when he turned around. Now the Niu family lives on the wages given by the Yan family, and Niu Xiaoyu also goes up the mountain to set traps, in the end, he didn't grow up in the mountains, and the harvest is not big, but Xu Yan has some ability in this regard.

Yan Yan thought of Xu Yan, he hadn't seen him for a long time, no, he hadn't paid attention to this person for a long time, because Yan Yan had put all his mind on plum blossoms, and he had been busy opening a shop recently, Yan Yan was so busy that he couldn't remember this person at all, and he hadn't even seen him a few times when he was busy farming.

"Aunt Niu, did that Xu Yan also go to the ground with Uncle Niu and Brother Xiaoyu?" Yan Yan asked while cutting potato seedlings.

"No, it seems that after eating, I went out by myself, every time I was like this, and I didn't care about people," in fact, Aunt Niu really deserves this Xu Yan, think about your family to sit and eat together, plus an outsider is uncomfortable, forget it, don't speak, so that others don't know whether to say it or not, although later he went back to the room to eat, but still lives under one roof, and the plum blossoms will enter the door in the future, isn't it even more inconvenient? For this matter, Sister-in-law Niu also has a headache.

"Do you know what he's doing?" Yan Yan thought that after Xu Yan followed the farming, he would be a dragon who could not see the end of the dragon, Yan Yan suddenly thought about what Xu Yan meant by what he said that day? This person has always played cards according to common sense, if he does anything again, the Yan family will be completely excluded from Xiaohe Village, this Yan Yan is unwilling.

"I don't know, Uncle Niu and Brother Xiaoyu are also very confused, they must be staying alone, how can there be any work to do at this time?" Sister-in-law Niu had a look of resentment when she talked about Xu Yan, as if she wished he could leave quickly.

"Aunt Niu, it's not easy for him," Yan Yan remembered what he thought of that day, and felt that this Xu Yan was really not easy, living almost like a transparent person, they saved Xu Yan but disliked others and didn't leave, Yan Yan felt faceless when he thought of what he said.

"You guys are just too kind, look at those people who have bullied them to the head," Sister-in-law Niu was still angry about the villagers' remarks, Yan Yan bowed her head and said nothing, maybe she should take the initiative to find Xu Yan, at least to find out what Xu Yan was doing.

When Yan Qingshan came back, he caught four little pigs, and also helped the Niu family catch two, listening to the sound of humming pigs, Yan Yan thought that this car was really lively along the way, Uncle Niu and Sister-in-law Niu happily hugged the piglets home, and Sister-in-law Niu had already prepared a pigsty. Because there were more pigs to feed, Yan Yan thought about cutting more pigweed while there was still pigweed.

Early in the morning, Yan Yan carried the bamboo basket up the mountain, and the pigweed on the side of the road was cut. She came alone while it was still early, otherwise it would not be good to go out alone like this, and while walking, she saw that the pigweed was suitable for the piglets.

Yan Yan was squatting and mowing pigweed, when he heard the footsteps of someone behind him, he was surprised that someone would come up the mountain at this time, and he was thinking about who it would be, whether to avoid it, when he heard the person speak, "Yan Yan?" ”

Yan Yan's body stiffened for a moment, then he got up and turned back to greet the visitor, "Morning, Xu Yan!" Yan Yan smiled reluctantly, I don't know why Yan Yan felt embarrassed to see Xu Yan, probably because of what he said.

"Cutting hogweed? It's not good for a girl to go up the mountain, next time I come with someone else," Xu Yan said expressionlessly.

Yan Yan opened his mouth wide in surprise, and immediately realized that this was stupid, and quickly said, "Yes, what about you?" What are you doing? Yan Yan also laughed dryly twice to ease the atmosphere.

"Build a house," Xu Yan said as he walked up.

"What? Build a house! Yan Yan's eyes widened in shock, "Why?" Where did you build the house? Do you have any money? Yan Yan really couldn't figure it out, so he followed behind Xu Yan and asked, but he didn't find that this was inappropriate at all. Xu Yan walked in front, listening to the girl behind him chattering endlessly, the voice was full of eagerness, and the corners of Xu Yan's mouth were quietly hooked.

"Xu Yan, speak! Where are you going? What are you going to do? Yan Yan decided to ask Xu Yan clearly today no matter what, otherwise he would always be confused by his mysterious behavior, and he would not be able to figure it out.

"Want to know?" Xu Yan suddenly stopped, turned to face Yan Yan and said, causing Yan Yan to almost pounce on him, Yan Yan nodded involuntarily when he looked at him, "Then don't ask anything, follow me." After saying that, Xu Yan walked forward, Yan Yan thought about it and followed him, I don't know why Yan Yan felt that he wouldn't hurt her, and Yan Yan couldn't find where this trust came from.

It wasn't until many years later that Yan Yan understood that some people were destined a long time ago.
