"What's the matter?"
"Huh?" Zhang Fangyuan glanced back at Xu He: "What's the matter?"
Xu He didn't answer him. It was already a little late today, but usually some people in the village would work overtime at night to harvest the crops as soon as possible, they all returned home at this time.
The two fell into silence, and the sound of insects and frogs that they were familiar with was heard around them.
There was no one around: "Why don't we kiss?"
Xu He was thinking about something, and after a while, he suddenly felt that Zhang Fangyuan was staring at him, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and his face burned violently in an instant.
He subconsciously wanted to turn his face away, but the man's hand blocked him before he could turn his face, and soon he was wrapped in a heavy breath, and there was a warm and eager touch on his lips.
Zhang Fangyuan supported the waist of the person beside him. In fact, he rarely kissed Xu He except on the bed. His lips were slightly cool, but his mouth was warm. This feeling was no less than being in bed with him. Even though kissing was much easier than going to bed, he always felt that such a good thing couldn’t happen casually.
So many times when he was happy or felt that he really liked Xu He from the bottom of his heart, he would only hold his hand, hug him, or at most kiss him on the face.
But thinking about it carefully, it seemed that every time Xu He told him not to do this outside, it would make people feel like he was a prodigal son, but even though he said something like this, he never resisted when it happened .
Perhaps, Xu He should like it when he was so close to him.
He didn't let go until the person in his arms was a little out of breath, and then kissed his red lips gently. Xu He's two legs hanging out of the carriage had long been weak, and at this moment he might resemble a cub, leaning between Zhang Fangyuan's broad shoulders and arms.
He felt that he must be like a sun-softened cowpea now, soft and resilient, even if he was wrapped around in his arm.
In his reverie, he suddenly buried himself in Zhang Fangyuan's arms and laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Zhang Fangyuan pulled the person with trembling shoulders out of his arms. He was not very confident because of certain things when he was just married before, but now this reaction was too shocking.
"Am I okay?"
"Okay." Xu He blushed.
"Why are you still laughing?"
"I'm just laughing at myself." Xu He pursed his lips, his eyes were curved, his eyes were big, even if he laughed hard, his eyes wouldn’t squint, but his pupils were like blooming flowers: "Legs are a little weak."
Zhang Fangyuan was suddenly pleased, and his mouth crooked.
Xiao Hei brought the two of them into the yard. He didn't let Xu He come down. Brother Zhang was in a very good mood today, and Xiao He was treated well. As for Xu He, instead of being carried directly on his shoulders, he was carried horizontally into the house.
The next day, when Xu He woke up, Zhang Fangyuan had already gone to the city to set a stall, and the morning breeze was blowing on his face. He swept away the discomfort from yesterday and felt very energetic, so he went to the tea shed after a simple meal at home .
In the morning, there were many people passing by on the official road, and most of them came to buy dry food.
When Xu He arrived, he saw a lot of villagers gathered in the open space beside the tea shed. Some of them used two banana leaves to sit, some used a piece of cloth as a mat. There were melons, fruits and vegetables in their stalls, and some homemade handicrafts of the farmers, such as ropes for carrying baskets, Chicken coops, dustpans, etc., were all things used by farmers.
It suddenly occurred to him that on the seventh day of every month, villagers from nearby villages would come here to set up stalls, selling small things or bartering.
Xu He said that he should come here earlier, every seventh day was lively. Since Zhang Fangyuan brought some sauce, wine, and some ingredients back to the tea shed, their tea shed was now the same like a grocery store for shopping, and they also could eat and drink in their tea shed, their business was the best when the villagers set up the stalls.
Entering the tea shed, there were unexpectedly six people who were eating and resting in the room, and Zhang Shiyue and Xiao'e were busy preparing biscuits (
饼干 粮) in the kitchen.
"You’re here."
Xu He said: "There are so many customers here this morning. It's strange, I'm afraid it's not from the surrounding villages."
Zhang Shiyue smiled and said: "I heard that they are peddlers who received some goods from Suzhou, When the tea shed opened earlier, there was a peddler who ate at our place and bought some dry foods
. He said that we have a lot of dry food prepared at a reasonable price, so they came here together. "
Xu He smiled slightly, that was to say, if you did business in a down-to-earth way, someone would remember it well, and whoever said that the tea shed wouldn’t be able to do repeat business.
"Let me do it, the second aunt can go out to greet people."
"Okay." Zhang Shiyue went out to greet the customers, and brought the things from the tea shed to the villagers. One moment someone wanted to buy some wine, the other wanted to buy some sauce, and the other wanted to buy candles.
From time to time, people would come in and ask for a bowl of water, and Xu He was willing to do so. As long as it wasn't the tea for sale, it didn't hurt to give them some water.
A busy morning passed, and it was not until after the noon that they were free.
"Sister-in-law is busy."
After they had lunch, there were only three idlers in the tea shed drinking tea and resting their feet, and they were drowsy from the sun. Xu He had just had lunch and was cleaning the table when he heard a very unfamiliar name.
