Xu He looked at the hanging meat, and couldn't help feeling a little worried. The mountain goods were quite easy to sell. Zhang Fangyuan also said that if Wang Jiu delivered the meat again in the future, he would pay him back. He just wanted to buy pork as fat as possible. The thin ones didn't necessarily sell well every time, sometimes the thin ones sold better, and sometimes the fat ones sold better. This business was not a stable job in the first place.

"We haven't sold any of these pork today, and I'm afraid we have to sell them at a lower price tomorrow, or they may be spoiled."

Zhang Fangyuan was not as worried as Xu He: "I told you to pick and eat more, it’s not easy to sell much so you keep it.”

Xu He didn’t answer his words.

There was really no business in the later period. Considering that the little things locked in the cage kept pooping, it was better to take them home and settle down early, so the couple simply packed up the stall and went back to the village in advance.

After returning home, the little things were put in the backyard, and immediately ran around the yard happily. Zhang Fangyuan sprinkled a handful of broken corn with bran on the yard, and the chickens and ducks ran over to eat.

When Xu He wanted to raise poultry, Zhang Fangyuan made a fence with bamboo strips, and it was easy to enclose the chickens and ducks. The weather was good and it didn't rain recently, so it was not a problem to let them sleep in the backyard. He thought that when he was free tomorrow, he would pick up wooden boards and make a chicken coop, so that he wouldn’t have to worry about wind and rain.

Xu He raised his eyebrows, and wiped his hands on the apron around his waist. These things were indeed things that men were good at, but when he was in the Xu family, his father always went out to seek business, and if the chicken choop and pig pen at home were broken, it was impossible to always wait for his father to come back to repair it, he would be scolded after a long time. Every time his father repaired it, he would guard it, and as time went by, he would know it himself, so he didn't need to trouble his father.

"Then I'll cook."

There was no cold rice to eat at night, and he had to make new steamed rice. He filled an extra bowl of rice, and after eating tonight, there would still be leftovers for Zhang Fangyuan's food box.

They only ate meat at noon, so he made a simple dinner. He mixed the bracken left over from the sale with a bowl of dried cabbage he found in the cupboard and fried them. Dinner was almost done.

Hearing the sound of bang bang bang bang outside the kitchen, Xu He turned his head and glanced at the two pieces of smoked bacon hanging above the stove. He used a stool to prop up his feet, took off the bacon and cut a piece of streaky meat three fingers wide. Took the bacon and soaked it in rice washing water.

By the time Xu He finished cooking, Zhang Fangyuan had already cut the wooden boards for the chicken coop, and he just needed to splice them together and make the roof.

Zhang Fangyuan had already smelled the aroma of fried dried cabbage, but he didn't rush in before he finished his work, and he couldn't wait when Xu He called.

"Wash your hands!"

Zhang Fangyuan had to wash his hands resentfully.

There was no meat in the evening, so Zhang Fangyuan ate two big bowls. Xu He’s cold salad was cooked very well. The onion, ginger, garlic, and chili were chopped and served with some soy sauce. The bracken was crisp and tender, with a slightly bitter taste, it was very suitable for eating in hot weather.

"Tomorrow, I won't go to the city with you."

"Why?!" Zhang Fangyuan couldn't help but stopped his chopsticks when he heard the words.

Xu He said: "There is no need for two people to guard the stall. I will go up the mountain tomorrow to find some fresh wild vegetables, and I will go to the city with you the next day."

Zhang Fangyuan didn't make a fuss when he heard this: "That's okay."

After everyone had eaten, Zhang Fangyuan rushed to make the chicken coop again. Xu He washed the dishes and cleaned the stove to boil water. After finishing all this, he went to help Zhang Fangyuan to make chicken coop together. When he arrived at the middle hall, they were busy silently.

It was not finished until the end of xushi. Zhang Fangyuan stretched his arms and was very satisfied with the formed chicken coop. Xu He wouldn’t need much effort to install it tomorrow. He got up and squeezed Xu He's ears: "Wash up! Go to sleep."

[戌时 xū shí: 7-9 pm]

He leaned forward and whispered next to Xu He's ears, Xu He's ears were hot, and his body stood up stiffly.

...... Can avoid the first day of the junior high school, but not the fifteenth day. (the thing you have to face will always come, even if it doesn’t come today or tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or the next day it may come)

He went to take a bath silently, and didn't say he was going to do laundry today, he went to bed early and lay down, waiting for Zhang Fangyuan to take a bath and come in.

When Zhang Fangyuan returned to the room, he was still wearing the big underpants. In Xu He's eyes, he didn't go back to the bed immediately, but squatted in front of the cabinet to get his things. When he came over, Xu He realized that he was holding a book.

"I bought it specially."

Zhang Fangyuan sat on the edge of the bed, looked at the little ge’er who was lying on the bed properly, stretched out his arms to wrap around the man's shoulders, and let him lean against his chest. they could see the same line of sight and read the book together.

Xu He didn't know what he was up to. He thought it was true when he said that he wanted to teach himself how to read. When the book was opened, his face burned from the base of his ears.

Just doing that kind of thing had already made him felt ashamed. Now looking at the vivid paintings on the paper about what the two of them did after blowing up the lamp, the excitement was infinitely magnified, so that people didn’t dare to look at it directly.

"You...you read it all?"

Zhang Fangyuan lowered his eyes and saw Xu He's red ears, and suddenly his hands froze, causing him to feel a little embarrassed: "No"

Zhang Fangyuan was so hot that he couldn't help but threw away the book.
