Cheng Dazhuang and Cheng Dali were naturally indulging in the sweet affections of newlyweds.
Both of them felt warm inside.
No matter how hot the weather, it couldn't dampen their good mood, because they were married.
They had once thought they would be bachelors for life, destined to grow old alone.
Yet, by a twist of fate, they had actually gotten married, and were happy.
The brothers were cheerful in everything they did.
The two new brides were also very diligent. Having just married, they had already managed their new home very well.
Their belongings were all neatly put away.
Even the little carriages were tidy.
There was no sign of clothes, shoes, or socks being strewn about.
It was indeed different having wives.
The brothers now had people to look after them, fetching them water, offering them fruit, and asking about their preferred clothing styles to make them several sets of clothes for washing.
Cheng Dazhuang and Cheng Dali were diligent men themselves, and even more so in cherishing their wives.
They only told them to rest more.
Their hearts were filled with sweetness.
On the other side.
Cheng Xiaoxi was still alone. Although he wasn't particularly old, people had considered him as a potential son-in-law. However, he dared not marry, dedicating himself solely to animal husbandry. He claimed to have no time for such matters.
Seeing that he was still young, everyone naturally didn't pressure him.
They simply thought he was shy.
Cheng Xiaoxi was indeed quite shy, thus he avoided the topic like the plague.
He was in charge of the animal husbandry carriage.
He took it very seriously.
Every now and then, he would check carefully, only feeling at ease when he saw that everything was alright.
The animal husbandry carriage also had a small aisle in the middle for moving around and tending to the animals.
This was his suggestion.
It turned out to be very suitable.
The servant Xiao Douzi, who shared the same carriage as him, couldn't help but laugh, "Brother, you're too attentive. You've checked three times in less than the time it takes for a cup of tea to steep. Walking around like this constantly, doesn't your head spin? If your head doesn't spin, aren't you tired?"
Cheng Xiaoxi was quite familiar with Xiao Douzi. They had been assigned to the same living carriage this time, and they were currently on a journey, sleeping in the same carriage at night, with their beds separated by a small aisle.
After finishing his final check on the rabbits and chickens, he returned to the driver's seat and sat cross-legged.
"Sigh, I can't afford to be careless. It's the first day transporting these rabbits and chickens. Although the new carriages are very stable, it's still not the same as on flat ground."
Cheng Xiaoxi said with an air of maturity, "I'm afraid they won't be able to endure it. If they fall ill, it would be terrible. No, I need to go read some books!"
As he spoke, he actually took out a few books from his side satchel and started flipping through them.
He had been studying diligently before, and now he had learned quite a bit. By reading and guessing, he could basically understand. He also enjoyed raising small animals. Later, he found books that recorded animal husbandry.
This had completely broadened his horizons, and he became even more engrossed.
A large portion of the money he earned was spent on buying books.
Xiao Douzi expressed his inexplicable respect and quickly whispered, "Brother, you're busy. You're busy. I promise I won't disturb you again."
He then quickly fell silent and diligently drove their carriage.
They were positioned in the relatively rear section.
Behind them were the grain and fodder carts, and further back were the people from Shan'ao Village and the carpentry workshop.
It wasn't that they were at the back just to be there.
This made Xiao Douzi feel quite at ease, with less pressure.
The journey was also relaxed.
In addition to the old horses, seven or eight new horses had been added.
Since there weren't many people who could ride horses, they were currently just letting them follow along. They would be used to replace the ones pulling the carts later.
