The gloom from before vanished, and he stretched out his arms to hug Yu Tang's neck, just like before, nuzzling her affectionately.
"I like Tangtang too!"
I love Tangtang so much!
Seeing that he had regained his energy, Yu Tang breathed a sigh of relief. He let the other person hug him for a while before pushing Mu Nancheng away and deliberately putting on a stern face to establish rules: "However, although I don't think you are a burden, since we are going to live together in the future, you also need to take on some chores so that our lives can get better and better, understand?"
Mu Nancheng nodded vigorously: "Understood!"
Yu Tang pressed his head down to stop him from moving, and pointed to the bowls and chopsticks soaking in the basin of water: "Go, wash the dishes. After you wash them clean, you need to go dig up worms for the chicks. We need to raise the chicks together, and then we'll have lots of eggs to eat."
"good!"
Mu Nancheng has no shortage of energy.
And they are especially obedient.
Yu Tang kept him busy all day, and in the end, he even made him clean the yard, but he didn't complain at all.
That evening, Yu Tang taught him how to brush his teeth and wash his underwear again, and after cleaning them both up, they went to bed.
As soon as the blanket was pulled over him, before Yu Tang could say anything, Mu Nancheng started snoring loudly again.
It looks just like a little pig.
Yu Tang was helpless.
He tucked the blanket into the boy's hand, and the boy began to think about the future.
I went to the market today and bought a lot of daily necessities in addition to food, spending a total of ten yuan.
And this is just one day's expenses. In the future, we will need to buy shoes, clothes, winter quilts, and honeycomb briquettes for the stove, all of which will cost money.
Besides, the expenses will increase when sending Mu Nancheng back to the Mu family in the future.
Therefore, he had to consider how to make more money.
Yu Tang and Xiao Jin talked about it.
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Jin suggested: "Host! How about you consider starting a livestock farming business?"
Yu Tang paused for a moment, then asked: Aquaculture? What kind of aquaculture?
Xiao Jin's mind raced for a moment, then he suddenly burst out laughing. He replied to Yu Tang, "For example, how about digging a fishpond? Raising fish?"

Died for the villain for the eighth time (07)
Yu Tang raised an eyebrow and teased, "Little Jin, which fishpond are you talking about? What, do you want me to hook up with more men and women and become a playboy who cheats people out of money and hearts?"
"Haha, it's not entirely impossible, is it?"
Xiao Jin couldn't stop laughing: "Host, you're so charming, even if you really open a fishpond..."
Even I, willingly deceived, would want to be a fish in your pond—
Yu Tang clicked his tongue and said seriously, "Alright, stop fooling around. Don't you realize that the original owner's money wasn't even enough to dig a fishpond?"
Even if I dig a fishpond, I'll still need to irrigate it with lime, buy fish fry, and fertilize it. I simply can't afford those expenses.
"Hmm, that makes sense." Xiao Jin also realized the seriousness of the problem. After thinking for a while, he asked Yu Tang, "Then how about raising chickens? Or ducks?"
Yu Tang: It's good enough that those five outside can survive. If you want to raise chickens on a large scale, you have to build chicken coops and factories. With only five hundred yuan in my hand, I can't do it.
"Then I'll have to find a stable job."
Xiao Jin said, "These days, the barrier to entry for becoming a teacher is low. I think you could try applying for a job in town; you should have no problem becoming a primary school teacher."
Finally hearing something reliable from Xiao Jin, Yu Tang thought for a moment and replied, "Hmm, becoming a teacher is a good choice. And maybe I can even get my hands on high school study materials to help Mu Nancheng recover his memories."
It's quite a journey to and from here; the distance from here to the town isn't short.
Moreover, being a teacher means spending the whole day at school and not returning until the evening, which would be very unsafe for Mu Nancheng to be home alone.
He needs to find a way to keep Mu Nancheng by his side.
Having clarified his future direction, Yu Tang quickly fell asleep. When he woke up the next day, he found that the person in his arms was gone again.
Upon entering the outer room, they discovered that Mu Nancheng was watching the sunrise again.
Those bright, sparkling peach blossom eyes reflected the warm yellow morning sun, full of hope and joy.
Yu Tang squatted down beside him and asked, "Nancheng, can you tell me why you like watching the sunrise so much?"
"Because it's beautiful!" Mu Nancheng gazed at the sun, his mind a jumble of memories.
But he vaguely remembered the endless sea and a bright golden sun, waiting for the light.
That light belonged to him.
The boy turned his head, and the image in his eyes changed from the rising sun to the man in front of him.
Without warning, he lowered his head and planted a kiss on Yu Tang's cheek, clapping his hands and laughing, "Just like you, you are all so beautiful, I love you all so much!"
"Oh oh oh!"
Xiao Jin was the first to explode: "Why do I suddenly feel like he's not stupid at all!"
They really got a great deal!
Yu Tang was also stunned for a moment, and subconsciously reached out to touch his face. When he looked at Mu Nancheng again, he couldn't see any trace of the other party faking it.
He retorted to Xiao Jin: "Even a fool would be this close to someone they like. After all, his affection level is still stuck at fifty, which means he doesn't have any other feelings for me."
After saying that, he patted Mu Nancheng's head and said, "Yeah, I like you too. Let's go brush our teeth and wash our faces together. After we finish eating, we still need to go to town."
Mu Nancheng's eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "Do you still want to buy chicks!"
"It's not about buying chicks, it's about finding a job."
What is work?
“Uh…” Yu Tang tried to explain to him: “It’s something that can earn you money to buy chicks.”
"So, we still want to buy chicks, right?"
Yu Tang realized that if they continued talking about this, they would definitely end up getting into trouble with the chickens, so he decisively shut up and turned to cook.
Anyway, he was convinced that Mu Nancheng was an idiot, and even if a great immortal came, he would still be an idiot.
After the two finished eating, Yu Tang waited for Mu Nancheng and the chick to finish their conversation in chicken language before setting off for town.
There is only one school in the town, which includes primary and junior high school. The primary school has grades one through six, and the junior high school has grades one through three. The campus is not large, with single-story buildings connected together. If you count carefully, there are only about twenty classrooms.
At that time, compulsory education had only been popularized for a few years, and schools were short of teachers.
Unfortunately, there are too few educated people in this place. Even if the country assigns educated teachers here, they only stay for a few years because the place is too poor.
So when Yu Tang said he was applying for the job, the principal was quite surprised.
However, after the initial surprise, he asked Yu Tang to show a letter of introduction and proof of his academic qualifications.
When he heard that Yu Tang had nothing, his brows furrowed.
He asked Yu Tang, "Are you planning to come here to try your luck and get a government job?"
"Working at a school is no joke! If you're incompetent and have no qualifications, get out of here! Don't make me have someone kick you out!"
His irritable appearance startled Mu Nancheng, who was standing next to Yu Tang, and the boy's expression became tense.
But after hesitating for a moment, before Yu Tang could speak, he stepped forward and blocked the man's path.
Despite being scared, he tried to raise his voice and said to the principal, "Let's talk this out! No, you're not allowed to be mean to Tangtang!"
Yu Tang was surprised that Mu Nancheng, who was usually timid, would do such a thing, and felt a mix of sadness and gratitude.
The principal glared at him: "And who are you?!"
“He is my younger brother.” Yu Tang pulled Mu Nancheng behind him and said to the principal, “I’m sorry to have taken up your time and made you receive someone like me who has no credentials.”
"However, please believe me, I am here to apply for this job with the utmost sincerity."
Furthermore, I possess the knowledge and skills to become a teacher.
"If you can give me a chance to test my abilities, I think I will bring you unexpected surprises."
Yu Tang's words were resounding and powerful.
Hearing this, the middle-aged man in front of him calmed down.
He looked Yu Tang up and down and found that this man, dressed in a simple jacket and trousers, who looked like an ordinary farmer, was in no way inferior to the teachers in the city he had seen before.
Moreover, the other party spoke very politely and sincerely.
This made him curious about what surprise this man would bring him.
"I'll give you a chance," the principal said. "If you want to teach elementary school students, you should at least be able to answer middle school students' questions correctly."
“Come with me, I’ll find you a set, you can do it right now in front of me.”
"If we can do everything right, then we can talk about other things."
Upon hearing this, Yu Tang was overjoyed and quickly followed.
Upon receiving the pen and exam paper and seeing the questions, Yu Tang curled the corners of his lips into a smile.
Although he wasn't a great student, he had at least gone through the grueling college entrance exam preparation period.
In this day and age, junior high school questions are simpler than they were back then, so they are naturally easier to solve.
The principal gathered the few teachers the school had to grade Yu Tang's papers. After getting the results, the way the principal looked at Yu Tang changed.
Afterwards, the principal had Yu Tang give a lesson to both elementary and middle school students.
Yu Tang's performance was quite professional, even giving the impression that he was handling things with ease.
It made everyone look at it with new eyes.
Mu Nancheng stared at him with his bright eyes and clapped his hands happily.
They kept shouting, "Tangtang is so amazing! Tangtang is the best!"
He single-handedly commanded the enthusiasm of an entire praise squad.
Upon seeing this, the principal had already genuinely approved of Yu Tang.
