Mugui

Chapter 29 "Mugui"

Father Chen said with a smile: "It is possible, but we don't have enough bricks and tiles. But there is no rush, let's build the courtyard wall first, and then we can buy as many bricks and tiles as we need."

He looked at the leaky stove house, and suggested: "When rebuilding the stove house, you can also incorporate that oven. But you need to go to Lizheng to change the house deed blueprint."

Any expansion or reconstruction in the village requires Lizheng to nod his head and sign the new house deed and blueprints.

However, Lizheng generally would not refuse this kind of reconstruction in his own yard.

Father Chen felt that Yang Mu entertained their father and son, so he was extra considerate of her, and said: "Miss Yang, if you have enough money, I suggest that you take advantage of this time to directly build all the houses you want to build, and let Li Zheng get the house deed all at once. changed."

Yang Muzheng has this intention. In the future, when Yang Shitou grows up, he will marry a wife and have children, and Qiuqiu will have to have his own nest, and the house at home will not be enough.

"Uncle Chen, how much money will it cost to build a house?"

Father Chen said: "That depends on how much the cover is added, let's do the math later."

He asked his three sons to take out a bag of white ash and began to draw the line of the courtyard wall, while he and Yang Mu discussed where to build a house.

Father Chen is a veteran, after discussing, he quickly drew a blueprint for Yang Mu.

Father Chen put down the charcoal pen and said, "Three rooms will be built in the back yard, and two rooms will be added in the front yard. The bricks and tiles will cost about 20 taels of silver. The wages are yours, six taels."

Yang Mu still has a lot of money left in his hand, enough to cover it.

She nodded in agreement with the plan, first went to Houshan Fei to carry half a bucket of milk, and then went to the trap to check, and there was an adult wild boar!

Ah this...

Yang Mu felt a little embarrassed, no one would believe his luck if he told about it.

The wild boar is too big, at least more than 300 catties.

After carrying the wild boar home, even Yang Mu's legs felt weak.

She drank a large bowl of water, and saw that the Chen family and his son had drawn white and gray lines on the ground, and sat on the ground to drink water.

Yang Mu went to the entrance of the village to wait until Sishi, when the ox cart to deliver bricks arrived.

A full seven ox carts of bricks.

The old cow was breathing hot air, and his tired legs were shaking.

After unloading the truck, Yang Mu settled the final payment to the people pulling the truck, and offered them a drink of water.

The cart pullers rested for a while, then took their leave and left.

Chen's father and son looked at the bricks all over the yard, and began to build the yard wall with mud.

Yang Mu remembered that the walls in ancient times were filled with glutinous rice soup, so he boiled several large pots of glutinous rice soup and asked Chen's father and son to use this instead of water.

Father Chen said with a smile: "Miss Yang is still an expert, this glutinous rice water is not affordable for rich people!"

As they spoke, the eldest son of the Chen family had already mixed the mud, and the second and third sons of the Chen family had already pulled the line.

The yard started to dry in full swing.

Yang Mu went to Westinghouse to deliver medicine to Mu Dalang.

Look at the end of the book where Mu Dalang is writing "Pairing the Immortals".

She smiled and said, "Don't worry, when the bookstore sells the first two books well, we will be able to increase the price."

Mu Dalang received the written manuscript, spread out the paper, and said, "I'm fine with you."

You can't really eat soft rice, can you?
He is a majestic Lin Dalang, he will never be a man who eats soft food!
Holding a cheap writing brush with bony fingers, he swiped the brush and wrote a title of the book - "Mu Gui".

Yang Mu tilted his head, as if in deep thought.

This is not a story she told, is Mu Dalang going to create it himself?
Still using her name?
Pointing to the word "Mu" on the paper, she pretended to be surprised and said, "This word looks the same as the word on my little gourd?"

However, there is one more point.

Mu Dalang looked up at her, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in Gujing's eyes, and said: "It's your name. The next word reads 'gui'."

Yang Mu's heart moved, she couldn't keep pretending that she couldn't read, this was an opportunity.

At night, she can ask each word word by word, and gradually, she can no longer pretend to be illiterate.

Coming out of Westinghouse, Yang Mu went to Lizheng's house with the blueprint and deed.

Lizheng's granddaughter-in-law just gave birth, and the child was babbling and crying.

Lizheng's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Ma, was very happy to see that Yang Mu had brought a big bowl of milk, and urged Lizheng to change the lease for Yang Mu.

After Yang Mu left, Mrs. Ma looked sad.

"Look at the style of the old Yang family. It's not as good as this bandit's granddaughter who knows how to do things!"

Li Zheng lifted the coat he was wearing and nodded his head. What the wife said was so right!

Only a few days after the separation, girl Mu started to expand the house!

Li Zheng frowned suddenly, and said to himself, "Where did this kid get the money?"

The revised house deed will cost at least 20 taels of silver to build, plus she built the courtyard wall today, this is not a small sum.

But when Yang Mu separated, he only got ten taels of silver for the separation fee!

Mrs. Ma said from the side: "This girl Mu is also a hard worker. She goes to the mountains to hunt every day, and the family can eat meat every day!"

Mashi didn't understand, but Lizheng knew that it was difficult to earn so much money just by hunting.

……

For lunch, Yang Mu made a big pot of rice, stir-fried vegetables, stewed pork with cabbage, fried pork slices with wild mushrooms, and fish soup.

There are a lot of people eating at home, so Yang Mu cooks big portions, and all the dishes are served in pots.

The Chen family's father and son were covered in sweat, so they rinsed off casually, and then sat down to eat.

The youngest son of the Chen family looked at the table of food in a daze.

have meat?

so much meat?
He has not eaten meat for a long time!
Is it Chinese New Year today?
The well-informed old man Chen was also stunned, even if he worked in a wealthy family, he had never had such a meal.

Yang Mu was afraid that the Chen family's father and son would feel uncomfortable eating with them, so he set aside food for the three of them, and took it to the Westinghouse.

After bringing Yang Shitou back, the three of them ate together in the Westinghouse.

Yang Shitou was not very good at using chopsticks, so he took a spoon and ate the rice.

Mu Dalang asked: "When is the next time you go to the county seat?"

Yang Mu swallowed the cabbage in his mouth and asked, "Do you need to buy something?"

Mu Dalang said: "There is a letter, I would like to trouble you to send it."

Yang Mu was stunned, feeling a little sad in his heart.

Was he trying to write home with news?

Is he finally leaving?

Seeing Yang Mu's sudden silence, Mu Dalang raised the corners of his mouth undetectably, and said, "It's something else, not what you think."

Yang Mu gave him a puzzled look, what else?

Why?How do you know what I'm thinking?
Mu Dalang said: "Starting tonight, I will teach you how to read and write."

He glanced at the notebook he wrote today, and said, "Just learn from that."

Children generally start learning from the catchy "San Zi Jing", "Hundred Surnames" and "Thousand Characters".

But for adults, it's best to start by reading what interests you the most.

Yang Mu blinked, huh?
Husband and wife are of the same heart, they coincide with each other!
She immediately forgot the surprise when she sent the letter just now, and responded crisply, seemingly with a smile on her face.

Mu Dalang stared at her blankly, the woman in front of him seemed to be unable to overlap with the little girl when he was a child.

After many years, he still remembered the inferiority and loneliness in that little sister's eyes.

Now that she has lived in the village for so long, but has such a bright smile, he hesitates whether he should pass the news of finding Yang Mu back to the capital.
