Rui Xue heard the shallow breathing sound of Zhao Fengnian in her ears, and the feeling in her heart was a little indescribable.

In her previous life, since she graduated from high school, she sold tofu to support her family, disciplined her younger siblings, served her sick mother who was bedridden, paid off foreign debts, set up workshops, opened factories, and experienced ups and downs along the way, and she can be regarded as a strong woman. I've never relied on a man, and I've never lived on people's noses, so there's a bit of a strong flavor in my personality, and I like to make my own decisions in everything.

When she accepted the fact that she was reborn in another world and married a sick husband, she was also faintly glad in her heart, because the husband was sick and weak, and it was difficult to take on the responsibility of supporting the family, which meant that she would definitely go out of the house instead of him to earn money.

If this thing is put on other women, it is a great thing, but in her opinion, it is a great thing, she can go to open a shop, talk about business, can be free to do things, do not have to be like other women, locked in the back house or small yard, do needlework every day, laundry and cooking, and gossip about the family in her spare time. She is still the same as in her previous life, a self-reliant woman.

However, today she suddenly found that the little tree that she had been taking care of and protecting had suddenly become a towering tree, and maybe one day she would even have to rely on him for protection and rely on his will to live, this realization made her a little frightened, she could really fully trust this person? Can you drop everything and just be a little woman? Can you be locked up in the house every day, just guarding a small world, waiting for this person's return?

No, those days weren't what she wanted...

"Did you sleep?"

Zhao Fengnian was thinking about how to send tofu to various restaurants, and when he heard Rui Xue suddenly ask, he turned his head and replied, "I didn't sleep, what's wrong?" ”

Rui Xue put her hands behind her head, looked at the shadows of the trees reflected on the window lattice, and said with a slight smile, "I used to listen to a poem in my hometown, and the format and rhyme did not match ours here, but I like it very much, and I will recite it to you." ”

Zhao Fengnian didn't know why she suddenly had this Yaxing, but out of curiosity about her hometown, she immediately nodded in response, after all, everything in the name of her hometown, whether it was poetry or idle stories, was extremely exciting and interesting.

"This is a letter from a woman from my hometown to her lover, whose name is, To the Oak Tree.

If I love you—

Never like a climbing flower,

Show off yourself by your tall branches:

If I love you—

Never learn from the infatuated birds,

Repeat monotonous songs for the shade;

(omitted)

We share the mist and haze,

As if forever separated,

But they depend on each other for life,

This is the great love,

Steadfastness is here:

Not only love your majestic body,

Also love the position you stick to and the ground under your feet. ”

Rui Xue's voice was shallow and indifferent, as if it was very inconsistent with the meaning expressed in the poem, but as if she was stating something very calmly, but Zhao Fengnian could clearly hear the persistence in it, and naturally understood why she suddenly became interested in reciting poetry.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled, and he asked, "You're going to do it too... Kapok? ”

"Of course, I was born to be Kapok!" Rui Xue put down her hand and turned to face him, her eyes burning, "You can't entangle tree vines!" ”

"That's right, I don't like vines climbing on my body, you are a tree, if I am tired one day, there is still your kapok to rely on. Vines are everywhere, but you, kapok, I am afraid that there is only one tree in the entire martial country, and God treats me very kindly. After Zhao Fengnian finished speaking, the smile in his eyes could be seen clearly even in the dark night.

Rui Xue's heart suddenly burst into countless fireworks, and she was extremely happy, and said solemnly, "God treats me well, and it is really fortunate to be a branch with you." ”

The two laughed out loud at the same time, and the big and small hands under the quilt were tightly clasped together, warm and tight.

When the agreement was reached, Rui Xue put down her worries, and discussed with Zhao Fengnian who to send to the southern cities to sign planting contracts, and even buy cow beans and sell tofu recipes in autumn. This person must be clever, flexible, and have no family, after all, once they go for a year, they choose and choose, and both of them feel that Ma Eleven is the most suitable.

He is righteous and not greedy for money, he has no family to worry about, some time ago he happened to be deceived into marriage and embarrassed, went out for a walk, and when he came back, the rumors were almost gone, and it was not too late to marry and start a family.

If he has been training for a year and has done well, and the business will be big in the future, he will open a restaurant and other shops, and promote him to be a shopkeeper or manager, which is also excellent.

Rui Xue was worried that the martial arts country was too big and the communication was inconvenient, so she pulled Zhao Fengnian to ask carefully, she recited the vast territory of the motherland in her previous life, more than 9 million square kilometers, which was the result of the expansion of the territory of the past dynasties and countless emperors and soldiers, and the unification of the martial arts through the predecessors, the previous wise and martial arts, in the later period, I don't know if because of the change of history, was punished, sick for ten years, almost did nothing, and was even eaten by the surrounding twelve countries nearly half of the country, in short, today's martial country, only one-seventh the size of the previous life, It is divided into eighteen cities, and each city is only 400 miles, which is really not very vast.

And history only records merit at all times, so there is no such description in the history book that Rui Xue read at the beginning, so he mistakenly thinks that this place is still the same as in the previous life.

However, the predecessor of the crossing still did a good thing, the communication station he established during his reign still exists after hundreds of years of changes, as long as you can afford to pay the money, eight hundred miles of expedited, you can make it move. In addition, there are many large and small dart boards in almost every city, and it is very convenient to walk between the cities and carry letters or goods.

Rui Xue calculated, the wind spirit is in the middle of the martial kingdom to the north, and it happens to be close to Peishui, it will take at most a month to rush back to the wind spirit city from the southernmost Liecheng, and it will be faster to send the letter, but it is barely fast.

"The old store of the Wu family is the business of my friend Bai Zhanpeng, I also invested money at the beginning, it is considered the second owner, and now there are shops in various cities, wait for me to write a letter, let Ma Shiyi send it to the Bai family, and then there will be people to settle down and help in the cities."

"That's fine, but Ma Shiyi is still too thin and risky to go out by himself, and the cities in the north also have to send people, so it's better to let Shanzi and Leizi go with them, and the dock is there, and the stones can also work, so that two people in each group can also have a discussion in case of trouble."

Zhao Fengnian nodded, "Okay, you look at the arrangement." ”

Rui Xue suddenly remembered something, couldn't help frowning, and said worriedly, "Shopkeeper, we seem to have forgotten one thing." Cow beans are cheap things, and the poor only have to fill their stomachs, but they don't care much, but the people in the city may not be willing to accept it easily, if they can't solve this matter, the next few things will be affected. ”

"Don't worry about this, you just have to arrange manpower, and after the workshop is built, the restaurant in the city will take the initiative to come to the door." Zhao Fengnian's tone was firm, so that Rui Xue was extremely curious about what his plan was, and couldn't help shaking his hand, "Shopkeeper, what tricks have you come up with, tell me about it." ”

Zhao Fengnian refused, and smiled mysteriously, "Sleep, I'll tell you when the matter is over." ”

Ruixue withdrew her hand and pouted in annoyance, "If you don't say it, you won't say it, I'm afraid it's not a good idea." ”

Zhao Fengnian was amused, touched her hand again, and held it tightly, "It's a sunny spring, and you can go to the spring outing to enjoy the flowers in a few days." ”

Rui Xue guessed that his plan must be related to the spring outing, but the four words "spring is sunny" were what she said when she saw Tian He sending a letter the day before yesterday and was jealous, he quoted it at this time, and there was a sense of teasing her, so his face immediately turned red and transparent, and he said angrily, "Flower appreciation is fake, but beauty appreciation is real." ”

She said this, but her subordinates did not move anymore, let Zhao Fengnian hold it softly, Zhao Fengnian gently curled the corners of his mouth, closed his eyes and slept peacefully, and sighed softly in his heart, the days are so peaceful and joyful, I only wish to be like this for the rest of my life.

The husband and wife never spoke again, listened to each other's breathing, and slowly fell asleep.

Night, quiet, evening breeze, gently blowing the window lattice, a couple, still holding hands in a dream to a warm and happy place...

When he got up early the next morning, and just after eating, Rui Xue called Lei Zi home and invited his father and mother to come over, and together with Shanzi and Ma Shiyi, who were going into the city to buy rice and noodles, they all went into the inner room to sit down.

The inner room is generally very close to people, or family members can only enter, everyone saw this, and they were a little puzzled, especially the second aunt and second uncle Yun, who even had some trepidation on their faces, guessing if their two sons had made something wrong.

When Zhao Fengnian came back from the inspection site, as soon as he entered the house, Second Uncle Yun immediately stood up, bowed down and asked, "Mr. Zhao, but what trouble did my two boys cause, Mr. must take care of one or two." ”

Second Aunt Yun also echoed, "Yes, yes, if Mr. is angry, it's okay to hit them twice, these two boys are not bad-hearted, they are reckless..."

Rui Xue hurriedly stepped forward and invited them to sit down, and said with a smile, "Second aunt, don't worry, it's not a bad thing to invite you here, the brothers Leizi and Shanzi are both diligent and sensible, and it's too late for our husband and wife to praise them." ”

Second Uncle Yun and Second Aunt Yun were completely relieved when they heard this, and sat down again, remembering that Rui Xue mentioned the word "good thing", and their hearts were alive again.

Ma Shiyi's brain was active, and he knew that if he was called in, he must have a share of this good thing, and he also had a smile on his face.

Zhao Fengnian took a sip of tea and said with a faint smile, "The workshop is about to be built, and the business will definitely get better and better in the future, and there will be more and more cow beans needed. ”

"Ah, that's a good thing." The four members of the Yun family immediately agreed, his house is close to the west of the village, and there is more than half an acre of vacant land at the foot of the mountain behind the house.

Rui Xue said with a smile, "However, only the people in our village grow cow beans, and even the entire Spirit Wind City, it is not enough for the workshop, so I and the shopkeeper want to send someone to the outer city to walk around and spread the news, and then be responsible for collecting the cow beans in the autumn." Naturally, the people sent out should know how to be flexible and have active brains, so I thought of Leizi, Shanzi and Eleven, so I invited the second uncle and two aunts to come over, just to ask if they would like to let Leizi and Shanzi go out on a long trip, and so did the Eleventh brothers, and they would discuss it with their parents at home when they went back at night. ”
