Spring is coming

The bearded man comes and goes without a trace. When he comes to eat depends on his mood. Sometimes Mo Jingchun can see him passing by and goes to another restaurant.

Every time I come here, there is no communication other than ordering food and paying the bill. Mo Jingchun has learned to automatically filter out one or two swear words occasionally.

This is good, but since that day, Bo Qingshan has not been here again, but Hang Sheng will come here every now and then to have a meal and explain with a smile that his father has been busy recently.

In the end, the accounting lady did not hire an outsider, but Mo Ying volunteered to do the job. She was also half-assed. After she came, Mo Jingchun discovered that the other party's talent in abacus was infinitely better than his own.

Mo Ying got started within two days, but she couldn't stay in Mo Jingchun's shop all day, she could only come every two days.

This is exactly the opposite of Mo He. Mo He has to go back to the village every two days to coax Lu Bin.

They were staggered in this way so that one bed in the backyard could just fit in.

The bearded man and Yin Zhengren seemed to know each other. After nodding to each other, they read out the names of two dishes from the menu: "Green salt turtle and stir-fried shrimp with leek."

Green salt turtle is a recipe that Mo Jingchun recently learned from a diner who came here to eat.

Every time his cook cooks soft-shelled turtle, he first chops it into large pieces and deep-fries it in a pan.Then simmer with wine, fennel and salt until half cooked, then add pork fat, garlic and bamboo shoot tips cut into dice sizes and simmer again.

Add the peppers and green onions before serving.

You must buy medium-sized soft-shell turtles. If they are large, they will be old, and if they are small, they will be fishy.

One portion was brought to the table, and the bearded man directly pinched the edge of the skirt and began to bite it. Although it was rough, Yin Zhengren felt that it tasted delicious again, and his stomach began to grow hungry.

Mo Jingchun filled a bowl of dumpling soup and placed it in front of the bearded man.

The bearded man raised his head in surprise: "I didn't order it."

"This is for you. Today is the beginning of spring. Eat spring dishes with dumpling soup. You are a regular customer, so I will give you a bowl."

After Mo Jingchun explained, he accepted it. He took a big sip from the bowl and said half-way through, as if he just remembered: "Thanks."

But when he was used to his short way of speaking, Yin Zhengren felt that he was being too nagging.

Today is the day when Mo He returns to the village and Mo Ying comes to the store.

After dinner, Mo Jingchun watched Mo He pack up the candies, dried fruits and other snacks that he brought back to Lu Bin, and suddenly smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I feel that you are in much better spirits these days."

"Yes, when people are busy, they have hope. When you have hope, life is not so sad." She turned to Mo Jingchun and smiled. She divided the halva she bought in the afternoon into two packs and took one pack back. , handed a packet to Mo Jingchun, "Chun'er, you eat too."

"Only for children to eat."

"Aren't you a child anymore?"

This warm atmosphere was interrupted the moment Mo Ying ran in in a panic.

"Chun'er! Cousin! Your family, your family is having trouble again!" She was shocked when she came. "The sister-in-law of the Zhou family came to Uncle Yuan Lin yesterday to borrow money. She said that she had borrowed money from Uncle Yuan Lin the night before. A drunk man fell into a ditch while walking at night, and his bones were broken!"

"What does his borrowing money have to do with our family?" They had broken off their relationship a few years ago, and it had been several months!

"Isn't it time to have enough money? I don't have much money, so I borrowed five taels. But when Aunt Zhou Ru went to pay, she found that the money bag was empty, with only a few copper coins left at the bottom."

Before she could figure out where the money had gone, Sister-in-law Zhou started crying for her father and mother and started making a fuss, saying that it was the Zhou family who refused to lend the money and this was the reason.Sitting in front of Mo Yuanlin and Zhou's house, he scolded them for not saving their lives and for doing all kinds of mischief.

Mo Yuanlin and Mr. Zhou were in trouble and had no choice but to come to Mo's house to borrow money from Mr. Gao because he was Zhou's own eldest brother.

The Gao family refused to borrow it and locked him out. The next day, the Zhou family moved Brother Zhou, who had broken his leg, from Zhoujia Village to the door of Mo's house, acting like a rogue!
Keeping the situation at home in mind, he ignored the store, closed the door, and hurriedly took a ride back to Mojiacun.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, they saw a vague figure lying on a bamboo mat. A woman about the same age as Mr. Gao, with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks, and Aunt Zhou were squatting on one side to watch. Mr. Zhou and Mo Yuanlin knelt under the door and bowed. begged.

Even though every household in the village has closed its doors and windows now, in the afternoon, when they first arrived, some meddlesome people who didn't know the situation passed by and watched. They looked up and down, wanting to make a hole in their eyes.

No one wants to get into trouble when it comes to money-related matters, so they have just closed the door early. They are not discouraged and just keep squatting like this.

Squatting from dawn to dusk, for the sake of money, he moved Brother Zhou out to be exposed to the sun and wind when he should be lying in bed.

As soon as Mo Jingchun came closer, he heard a low moan on the bamboo mat, and was grabbed by the arm by the sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked woman, Mrs. Zhou's mother-in-law, Mrs. Yuan: "Is she that girl?"

Sister-in-law Zhou stared at her hatefully and nodded.

Yuan's eyes burst out with greedy light: "Good girl, go and knock on the door for me. Your grandma loves you and will definitely open the door."

Mo Jingchun's arm hurt from being pinched by her, his eyebrows knitted together, and he moved away——

Mo Ying and Mo He also came up to help her: "What are you doing? Get out of the way. What are you doing with your hands and feet?"

Yuan's strength was so amazing that it took three people to barely break away from her.

"Why did your son carry his broken leg to my door instead of treating it?"

Mo Jingchun took two steps back warily, pressing her back against the door, but did not open the door - she believed that once she opened the door, they would definitely take the opportunity to squeeze in.

Where has my uncle gone at this time?

Mo Jingchun had a flash of doubt in his mind, but not much because the person in front of him was too difficult to deal with.

Mrs. Yuan pulled Mrs. Zhou and said something. Mrs. Zhou threw herself at Mo Jingchun's feet with her almost five-month-old belly: "Chun'er, good Chun'er! Second aunt knows that you are the smartest. Aren't you here?" Is there a store open in the town? Second Aunt knows that you are rich, so just lend us five taels of silver! If it's any later, my brother's leg will be hopeless! He will be a cripple for the rest of his life!"

Fortunately, Mo Jingchun got out of the way in time, otherwise this woman would have kneeled at his feet.

Disgust flashed in her eyes, but the man pretended to burst into tears.

Mrs. Zhou was still making noises: "Second Aunt, don't ask for more, just five taels. I will pay you back as soon as I have money!"

Mrs. Yuan and Aunt Zhou also started working, hugging Brother Zhou's aunt and sobbing uncontrollably.

Since Mrs. Gao was in the house and not bothered by them, Mo Jingchun was not in a hurry and even had time to watch these people acting.

Enough, here’s another sentence:
"Don't call yourself second sister-in-law anymore. What kind of second sister-in-law are you?"

In addition, there are Zhou family members.

She stood far away with great disgust: "Grandma and aunt, can you please stop crying? A person has broken a leg, but he has not lost his breath. It's okay for you to cry in front of other people's homes like this. Unlucky?"
