Traveling through the ages: the apocalyptic couple salted fish lie down and win!

Chapter 230 Mu Xiaohong, Mu Xiaocao

"Father and mother, there are still things waiting for me to go back to do at home, so I will go back first." The task is completed, sitting here, it is better to go back to practice.

"I'm leaving now? Eat before leaving." Father Jian hastily kept him.

The son-in-law walked three or four hours on the mountain road to come here to give money, how can it be done without a meal?

"Don't eat. I brought dry food when I came here. I ate it on the way. Parents, let's go back to the house." Mu Ziteng walked to the door, and Jian's father and mother followed.

"Ziteng, wait a minute, I'll get some peanuts and melon seeds, and you can take them home for my grandchildren to eat." Jian's mother saw that she couldn't keep anyone, so she had to settle for the next best thing.

"Okay." Mu Ziteng retracted his raised foot.

In the past few years, Jianjia Village has sprinkled sunflower seeds in the corn field. Unexpectedly, the growth is not bad, and there are a lot of harvests every year. The wasteland opened in the mountains a few years ago is still being planted. Not only corn, but also peanuts and melon seeds are planted there. Yes, every year there is not enough to eat at home, and they are sold at the purchasing station.

Soon the second brother Jian brought a big bag behind Jian's mother, and Mu Ziteng hurried forward to help.

It's not easy to get started.

"Mother, are you giving too much?" Mu Ziteng didn't know whether to pick it up or not.

"There are also some dried sweet potatoes that I made for the children to chew. I don't know if they like it or not? If they think it is delicious, you can tell me next time, and I will make it for the children again." Jane's mother looked at it. Holding Muziteng, he said with a loving face.

"Okay." Jian's mother said so much, Mu Ziteng would be too ignorant to refuse again.

This time Muziteng didn't bring a pannier. Brother Jian brought a pannier, and the two brothers stuffed the bag into the pannier, lifted it up and put it on Muziteng's back.

Three days before the [-]th, Mu Ziteng and Jian Qingling went to deliver three catties of candy, one catty of brown sugar, five boxes of pastries, two fresh pheasants and hares, two fat fish, ten catties of wild pork, and five bear meats to the Jian family. Jin, as a farewell ceremony, after the year they will not come again.

To be honest, only their family can afford such an annual gift in this era.

For the son-in-law's family, the Jian family had nothing to sell, and when Mu Ziteng left, they brought him a basket of dried fruit.

Mu Ziteng didn't refuse either, the daughter in the family likes to eat this, saying that there are still a lot of sweet potatoes in Xiao Lingzi's space, it is not troublesome to make dried sweet potatoes, and I can make them myself when I have time.

In the morning of [-], the Mu family rushed back to the trend, woke up early, mixed rice noodles with glutinous rice noodles, and corn flour mixed with glutinous rice noodles, and made two troughs of cakes respectively.

He also secretly set up a square table in the main room, scrubbed the desk next to it, and put the prepared cakes on the table to worship the ancestors.

Of course Mu Ziteng and Jian Qingling couldn't think of such things as ancestor worship, and they couldn't do it, it was requested by Mu Fu Mu Mu.

Fortunately, their family lived on the top of the mountain, and almost no one would visit their house at ordinary times, otherwise they would be accused of practicing feudal superstition and would be locked up for education.

"There wasn't enough food in previous years, so how could I eat it?" Mumu held a piece of round cake in her hand, dipped some sesame candy in the bowl, took a bite, and said with a smile.

"If Mom likes to eat, we'll make more. Anyway, there's a place to store it." Mu Ziteng saw that Mu Mu's food was delicious, so he also took a piece to eat.

"That's enough." Mother Mu looked at the glutinous rice cakes on the two big tables, and shook her head and refused, "This glutinous rice cake is mixed with glutinous rice. If you eat too much, you will get tired of it. Just eat it once in a while."

Mu Ziteng smiled, "Listen to mother."

If there is nothing left after eating, if you still want to eat, just do it again, this thing does not have to be made during the Chinese New Year.

The two children in the family were very obedient and did not take the initiative to go out to play, so no one went out for a few days in the first, second, and third days.

When Mu Fu and Mu Mu were eating, they would come over to eat with them. In the rest of the time, except going back to the old house to sleep at night, they would gather with the old grandpas and old ladies in the village to chat and brag under the big banyan tree at the head of the bridge.

Muzishu and Cotyledon's family in the old house did not find the elders during this period of time, but those two seem to be getting better now, at least they will take the initiative to call out to say hello when they see the elders.

The second elder heard from those old grandpas and old ladies that Muzishu's [-]-year-old eldest daughter, Mu Xiaohong, who was still unmarried, got married in August last year. The man in the house is a second-marriage. Fortunately, the previous wife did not leave a son and a half daughter, otherwise she would become a stepmother as soon as she got married.

The reason why Mu Xiaohong delays getting married until now is because of her family's bad reputation.

As for Muziye's only daughter, Mu Xiaocao, who was sold to the mountains by her parents in the second year of the famine for a hundred catties of grain, she was only a fourteen-year-old girl at that time.

As for which corner of the mountain it was sold to, the Mu family did not reveal it, and the Erlao and Mu Ziteng would not bother to inquire about it.

Not to mention whether she can find out, that girl is also a heartless person. When the two elders were targeted by Wang Aihua and Liu Ping, she stood by and watched.

If she had a second elder in her heart, she wouldn't watch like that. Even if she was so soft-spoken and couldn't help the elder, at least she could call her uncle and aunt over. It's a pity that she didn't do anything.

At any rate, when the family was not separated before, her grandparents took good care of her and did not let her starve to death at a young age.

With such a patriarchal mother who doesn't care about her daughter, and a father who ignores her, Mu Xiaocao was able to grow up alive, thanks to the Mu father and Mu mother who took care of the family at that time.

People are so dull, why should they care about an insignificant person?
As for the sons in their family, the eldest is twenty years old, and the youngest is thirteen or fourteen. None of them has married a wife. As for the reason, everyone understands.

It has a bad reputation.

After hearing the news, the two elders told their son and daughter-in-law as a joke when they came back, and they didn't show any worry from beginning to end.

In the hearts of the two elders, especially Mumu, even if they have separated and no longer communicate with each other, they are still relatives, and they don't know anything that everyone in the village knows.

Mu Mu didn't want them to go over to help or anything, as long as everyone knew the situation.

For two consecutive days on the fifth and sixth day, Mu Ziteng and Jian Qingling took their children to Jun Shiyu's place to play.

There is a saying that you can't go out on the seventh day and you can't go home on the eighth day.

Then they booked to go back to the city on the eighth day of the first day, so they can't do it?

So, it was not until the ninth day of the lunar new year that everyone packed their bags and went back to the city.

After returning, the two neighbors gathered at their house again.

Jian Qingling also sat with everyone and listened to how they spent the time of separation. Only during the Chinese New Year can the family reunite.
