Luo Fei thought of doing it, and after returning home with the chicks, he really went to pluck the big tiger. Of course, this "pulling" is not the other "pulling". What Luo Fei wants to pluck is the hair of the family's big cock - there is not much living expenses at home.
Originally, Luo Fei had some money in their hands, but they usually spent money on food and vegetables, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and extra dishes. Xi Yanqing has no time to work in the fields every day, so the business of buying these things naturally falls on Luo Fei.
At first, he also thought about reporting the bill to Xi Yanqing, but after buying it, he thought that the two of them would eat together, and it was unreasonable to ask Xi Yanqing to spend money on purpose. Besides, the money was originally from Xi Yanqing's hands. So he didn't say anything, but he bought everything he could. Three cents today and five cents tomorrow, it seems that I don't spend much every day, but the money is spent little by little. After buying the chicks, Luo Fei only had five coins left in his hand.
Luo Fei watched the chicks chirping in their new home, pushing Xi Yanqing next to him with his elbows, and said chattingly, "Hey, there is almost no living expenses, can you advance some wages?"
Xi Yanqing, who went out early every day and returned late recently, really forgot about this, and when he heard that, he took a money bag without saying a word: "I was negligent, I should have given it to you earlier, I have been thinking about it every day recently. How to increase the yield in the field, forget it."
Luo Fei opened the bag and was shocked: "So many?!"
There was not only a large amount of copper coins in it, but also some taels of silver. He guessed that there were two or three taels. He looked at Xi Yanqing with some surprise: "Is this too much? Just leave some living expenses. And now there is mainly no vegetables at home. When the vegetables in the vegetable garden grow up, the cost should be reduced."
In the years when Xi Yu was outside, no one at home grew vegetables, and it was even more impossible to dry vegetables, so they all bought some dried vegetables and came back to get some pickles to make porridge, and sometimes tofu to eat. In this way, there will naturally be more expenses, but after they dry the vegetables this fall, they will naturally not be short of vegetables to buy.
Xi Yanqing knew that there were 3 taels of silver and 300 copper coins in the bag. This was not the entire property, but it was not a small number for them now. But he still insisted on giving it to Luo Fei: "Didn't you agree that you are in the master and I am outside the master? I can help you with family matters, and if you can't help you, you will have to work harder. Apart from these, I will help you. There may still be 10 taels of silver in it, let's keep it for emergencies. I mean if you can't move the money, try to move him first, and try to be self-sufficient this year. Wait for me to put this here. After the work in the field is over, I should go into the mountains to find some medicinal materials and plant them, and I should be able to make an extra income."
"Okay, then don't worry, I will definitely not spend money indiscriminately." Luo Fei said, "You can trust me, and I will certainly not disappoint you." Three taels of silver! It is equivalent to a year's living expenses of a farmer's family! Luo Fei felt that if it were him, he might not be so generous. Do not! Certainly not so generous!
"I've never doubted my vision, let alone you." Xi Yanqing rubbed Luo Fei's head, "By the way, you said that the fat aunt told you not to let these little things go to the ground, right? Then let's The chicken coop outside cannot be used for them temporarily, and they have to find a temporary place to stay."
"I know this!" Luo Fei carefully collected the money, "Han Xu said that the cabinet is finished, and he and his carpenter brother will come over tomorrow. I wonder if I should remove the old cabinet this afternoon, and then Put it down and then deal with it, can't you live in it for the chicks?"
"Alright, then go and put away the dishes above, and I'll get them for you later."
"I'll go right now!" Luo Fei got up and went to remove the things on the bowl rack.
Xi Yanqing took advantage of this time to find some useful tools, and after Luo Fei finished removing the dishes, he took the bowl rack from the house to the outside. The light outside was good, so he carefully sawed the partition with a saw, and changed the "four rooms" into "one room". After that, he smoothed the burrs as much as possible to avoid accidentally stabbing the chickens. After finishing this, he wiped the cabinet clean and carried it into the house.
But obviously, the height after being put down is not enough, only 30 cm. It is estimated that the chicken will have to fly out of it after two days.
So Xi Yanqing borrowed two bales of straw from Aunt Zhou's family next door. He knitted the thing together into a seamless big fence around the bowl rack so the chicks couldn't jump out.
Luo Fei sent the chicks to their new homes one by one. Seeing that they couldn't jump out of the way, they couldn't get out.
Xi Yanqing smiled and said: "Okay, then you can watch it for a while. I will go to the cornfield and take advantage of the fact that it is not that hot."
"Are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, let's get up early tomorrow and go get it together. It's all this time, so you should rest too."
"That's it... Come on, I'll give myself a day off today." Xi Yanqing has not had a day off since he started working, and Xi Yanqing really felt a little tired.
"Then you sleep for a while, and I'll go get something to eat."
"Can I put your pillow on?" Xi Yanqing asked.
"Okay." Luo Fei climbed onto the kang, took off his pillow, and patted it on the kang, "Sleep!" He said very happily.
"Knowing that you promised so happily, I should have asked you to lend me your leg for a while." Xi Yanqing looked regretful, "Is it too late now?"
"Don't be stinky! Sleep with you!" Luo Fei fiercely slapped Xi Yanqing a little, then he was about to go out, but was held back by Xi Yanqing. Xi Yanqing looked at him for a moment with a faint smile on his lips, and gently pecked his mouth.
Luo Fei suddenly blushed. He glared at Xi Yanqing, clenched his fists and made a "I'll jump up and beat you if you dare to kiss me again!", then ran away with his mouth covered.
Xi Yanqing watched from behind, licked his lips lightly, and then lay down on the kang.
Luo Fei thought that this person might have to chase him out and make a fool of himself, but after a while he heard the snoring from the house in the kitchen. Thinking of coming to Xi Yanqing is really exhausting.
Xi Yanqing is too hardworking. It is very tiring to do farm work in modern times, let alone in this day and age. There is no modern equipment, no high-tech means, and almost everything has to be solved by manpower. But Xi Yanqing never complained, and always did a good job.
If this person is Xi Yu, at least it can be said that he is used to it. But Xi Yanqing, who has lived a fast and convenient life in modern times for many years, can still endure such hardships here. Although Luo Fei never said this, he admired it in his heart.
"Luo Erbao! Are you at home? Come out to pick one up!" Just as Luo Fei was in a trance, Han Xu's voice suddenly came from outside.
"Hush hush hush! You can shout softly!" Luo Fei went out with a silent gesture, "The big tiger fell asleep, it is rare for him to rest for a long time." Luo Fei ushered people into the yard, "No Do you mean to come here? Why are you here today?"
"My carpenter brother has something to do temporarily, and he has to leave next night after eating, so come over and get these things for you first." Han Xu wiped his sweat, "It's so hot, Erbao, get me some. drink water."
"Okay, let's sit down and rest for a while." Luo Fei moved a ponytail for the two of them, and then went to pour out two bowls of water and handed it to the two of them, "Why do you beat so much? How embarrassing is this?" I made a kang table and a bowl rack, and it turned out that there was a relatively short chair with a backrest and a beautiful small wooden cabinet. There is also a small partition in the wooden cabinet, which looks very practical.
"Your big tiger said that the pony is too tall, and my second treasure is tired from sitting on the pony to wash clothes, so I have to get you a small chair with a backrest. And your needlework, fabric, etc., your baby Very, it is safer to get you a separate small cabinet than to put it outside, lest you put it outside and worry about falling dust, and put it in the closet and worry about needles falling into your clothes. Tsk tsk tsk, you are spoiled, I'm goosebumps The pimples are about to get up!"
"Just be envious." Luo Fei was sweet, patted Han Xu's shoulder, thanked Chen Huazhang again, and carried the cabinet into the room together with the two of them.
They tried to keep their voices low, and Xi Yanqing really didn't wake up. The snoring continued for a long time, until Luo Fei found a place for all the new furniture, and Xi Yanqing was still sleeping.
"Forget it today, Erbao." Han Xu said, "I won't leave you here to eat. Brother carpenter will be leaving in a while, so I have to go back and help him pack up."
"That's right." Chen Huazhang also said, "Besides, it's not a hassle. When I have good wood, I'll add the rest."
"Thank you so much." Luo Fei originally expected to buy some meat tomorrow, and get some food to entertain the two of them, so he didn't have much to prepare for today, and he would have to cook something delicious. I really can't do it. After thinking about it, he didn't pay much attention to Han Xu anyway, "Then you wait a while." He took out the purse embroidered for Han Xu, "This is done, you can take it, Han Xu, when you come back and get married I'll give you something else."
"Woooooo! It's so beautiful!" Han Xu held his purse, "I'm going to use it on the wedding day!"
"Then it's up to you." Luo Fei smiled, "I won't give it away."
"No need to send, no need to send, just go back and watch your big tiger. Let's go!"
Luo Fei stood at the door for a while, and then closed the door after seeing Han Xu and Chen Huazhang walking away. He patted the ashes on his body and went to cook dinner. Seeing that Xi Yanqing was still awake, he sat beside him suspiciously and tentatively touched Xi Yanqing's forehead.
Xi Yanqing opened his eyes slowly, and it took a while to get the feeling of focus. His voice was very dry, like someone who hasn't drank water for a long time: "What time is it now?"
Luo Fei withdrew his hand with a "huh": "Xu Shi, it's getting dark outside. Can't you get up and eat something?"
Xi Yanqing put the back of his hand on his forehead and closed his eyes again: "Get up later."
Luo Fei said "um", went out and thought about it, and then brought the meal into the room: "Why don't you go to sleep after eating?"
Xi Yanqing smiled and raised his hand to touch Luo Fei's face: "Well."
Xi Yanqing was probably too tired, and he didn't eat much in the end. Luo Fei took out the bowls and plates, and when he came in, he saw Xi Yanqing sitting there in a daze.
"What are you thinking?" Luo Fei sat down beside the kang.
"Nothing." Xi Yanqing suddenly smiled.
"Nothing, what are you laughing at?" Luo Fei muttered and got on the kang and took down the quilt. When he rolled out the quilt, he finally knew what Xi Yanqing was thinking. Good guy, it turns out they are laughing at how close they can sleep tonight!
Since the chickens will be on the kang at night, the cupboard cannot be taken out. It occupies a large area on the kang, which makes the kang, which was not very large, immediately smaller.
When Luo Fei laid the mattress, he had used the space reasonably, but there was still a part of it that was not covered and was folded. And the funniest thing is that with this, their two quilts will be very close together.
Luo Fei made a visual inspection, and the rest of the place for them to sleep was only 1.5 meters away.
Xi Yanqing could catch Luo Fei as soon as he stretched out his hand, so when the two of them washed up and lay down on the kang, Xi Yanqing's hand really couldn't hold back. He reached into Luo Fei's bed and grabbed Luo Fei's hand. He scratched gently in Luo Fei's palm with his fingertips, enjoying this rare tender time.
Luo Fei felt an itch in his palm, but he couldn't dodge if he wanted to. Xi Yanqing didn't exert much effort or hurt him, but it made him unable to break free.
Luo Fei had to shout: "Don't make trouble! Sleep!"
Xi Yanqing laughed softly: "You sleep, I'm not sleepy now."
Luo Fei said that you are not sleepy and I am sleepy!
Well he doesn't seem too sleepy. He felt a little strange, a little hot, as if something was making a noise, and even the air was full of anxiety and restlessness.
Luo Fei could hear Xi Yanqing's breathing getting heavier and heavier. Although Xi Yanqing didn't move, he just held his hand. But Luo Fei could feel a certain desire and agitation coming from Xi Yanqing.
Xi Yanqing's palms were sweating, and Luo Fei's hands were soon wet. Luo Fei felt that his body was very hot, so he lifted the quilt a little.
Both quilts were made before we got married. They were fine at the time, but now they are a little hot.
"It seems a little hot, should I use the spare quilt cover as a cool quilt cover?" Luo Fei said as if to himself.
"Alright." Xi Yanqing let go of his hand.
Luo Fei found the quilt cover in the dark, and divided it one by one.
Xi Yanqing piled the quilt aside to create a more cramped space, so that he could be closer to Luo Fei. After a while, Xi Yanqing said, "The two layers of fabric seem to be a bit thin at this time. Why don't we put the two together and cover four layers?"
Luo Fei was silent.
Xiyan got up, spread his own quilt cover on Luo Fei's quilt cover, and then got into Luo Fei's quilt.
The two fiery bodies finally met peacefully in the same bed, Xi Yanqing couldn't help it, and began to gently stroke Luo Fei's cheeks...
