Farmhouse pretty cook

Chapter 21 Fighting
Passing by the door of the big house, Mu Lang turned his head and looked in the direction of the courtyard door.I saw Chen Mei'e holding her son Yuan Bao, sitting in the yard feeding.When Yuan Bao refused to eat, Chen Mei'e coaxed each baby one by one.

Mu Lang's small face slowly collapsed, he held Mu Xiang's hand, and subconsciously clenched it tightly.

Mu Xiang hugged his shoulder lovingly, "You have elder sister and second elder sister who love you, they are no worse than Yuanbao. When you earn money next year, elder sister will send you to study. In the future, Mu Lang should study hard, and when he grows up, he will be tested for merit. , Mu Lang is promising, and the eldest sister can enjoy the blessings with you, you know?"

Mu Lang nodded ignorantly, "Well, I will definitely study hard in the future, and I want to be an official higher than Jinshi!"

Mu Xiang was stunned for a moment, and then she was moved. Although Mu Lang didn't speak much on weekdays, he knew it in his heart.He must also know about Zhao Xiuwen, so he wanted to take the exam for an official higher than a Jinshi.

"We don't compare ourselves to others, as long as we live well, that's enough," Mu Xiang taught him softly.A person's life is short, there is no need to push yourself too hard for an irrelevant person, it is not worth it.She would rather Mu Lang be happy and happy every day, and she would not want him to live too tired.

The two talked and walked, and there were a few children playing together on the side of the road, watching Mu Lang pass by, they covered their mouths and laughed.

Among them was a slightly older baby with a braid and a big bald head, which looked ridiculous no matter how you looked.When he walked past Mu Lang and the others, he deliberately ran up and tugged Mu Lang's sleeve, and after a tug, he quickly ran back to the pile of babies.Mu Lang didn't understand why he looked back, but the group of people laughed.

Others muttered, "Stupid pig!" "Stupid!" "Look at him stupid!"

Mu Xiang was carrying her things and walked quickly, but she didn't hear their commotion.Mu Lang turned his head to look at his ignorant sister, he chose to remain silent, slowly turned his gaze back, and followed his sister to Wang Xi's house.

Wang Xi was squatting at the door of his house, repairing bows and arrows. There were still a few iron hooks scattered on the ground. It seemed that he was ready to go up the mountain.

Mu Lang called him, and Wang Xi looked up and saw Mu Xiang who came, with a smile on his dark face.

Mu Xiang walked up to him with a smile, and said, "Brother Wang Xi, I earned a few pennies yesterday and bought some lard, thinking about sending some to Grandma as well."

Wang Xi also saw her holding the big plate, and hurriedly declined, "Uh, no need, I still have lard at home, and it's not easy for you to earn some, so let's save the lard for Mu Lang and the others to cook!"

Mu Xiang said: "I still have them at home. These lards are not given to you for free. You have seen the wall of my house. It is broken like that. It is not safe from thieves. I would like to ask you to help. See Let’s see if we can repair the courtyard wall, and my land also needs to be plowed, these are very important tasks.”

Wang Xi heard that what she mentioned was a serious matter, so he let her in to talk.Mu Lang was squatting on the ground playing with bow and arrow, seeing that he liked to play, Mu Xiang didn't ask him to go in, but told him not to run around, and he would come out in a while.

Grandma Wang was overjoyed to see Muxiang coming again, so she asked Wang Xi to carry the stool, and then asked him to go into the house to fetch peanuts, and turned Wang Xizhi around.

How could Mu Xiang fail to see Grandma Wang's thoughts, but she really didn't have any feelings for Wang Xi. Right now, she really couldn't find anyone to help, otherwise she didn't want to bother Wang Xi all the time.

Grandma Wang made an excuse to take the lard to the kitchen, so she walked away so that Wang Xi and Mu Xiang could talk alone.

Wang Xi is a good hand at work, and he is also responsible for the heavy work of repairing and repairing the house, so it is only a matter of time for the monastery wall. Technically, there is really nothing to be embarrassed about, so he readily agreed, saying: "The last few days Today, the weather is sweltering, and there are not many prey on the mountain. You have to wait until it is cooler before you can hunt. I think so. I will find the long bolt later, and I will dig mud and make adobe in the afternoon. In such a hot day, I will spend two days in the sun. It’s ready to use, and Chang Shuan and I plowed your land while riding the adobe drying, just right, without wasting any time.”

Changshuan is the eldest son of a family who lives in the south of the village. Mu Xiang is not very familiar with him, but his younger sister, Da Mei, played together a few years ago, but was kicked out by Li Dashan because of Mu Xiang's siblings. , busy with making a living, there is no time to go to play with her.Da Meizi's family is also poor, her mother died early, there is only her elder brother and a sick father in the family, and the three of them depend on each other for life.

In ancient times when the medical conditions were backward, getting sick was the most terrible thing. Not to mention not being able to work, the cost of medicine was also frighteningly expensive.

Of course, Mu Xiang doesn't understand things like house repairs, but she understands the principle of getting money for work, "Brother Wang Xi, you can figure out how to pay for it. Just tell me how much you should pay."

Wang Xi smiled when she heard her mentioning the money, and said seriously: "The adobe for repairing the courtyard wall does not cost money, and my cattle are also idle when they are idle. The big deal is to wait for the plowing to finish and feed more fodder. As for the wages, you If you mention it again, you will be out of sight. It is a trivial matter. Changshuan is also idle at home these days. After a few days, he will go to work in the town. Even if he wants to find someone, he can't find him. You, Don’t worry about anything, just make some food then and it will be done.”

"How can this work? You help my family with your work. It's hard work. How can you not get paid?" Mu Xiang also sincerely wanted to pay them.Because Wang Xi has an old man who is paralyzed in bed at home, and Grandma Wang is not strong, so she can't go to the town to find work like Chang Shuan.The family was not rich in the first place, so she had the nerve to always take advantage of them.

Grandma Wang came out of the kitchen at this time, smiling and said: "Mu Xiang, you have brought so much lard here, why do you have to pay for it? It's not easy for you little ones. If you want to talk about other things, I We can't help you much, but you, Brother Wang Xi, can still do such a laborious job. Let alone repairing the courtyard wall, my Xizi is also a good hand at building houses. In our village, few people can compare Got it!"

Mu Xiang smiled gratefully, Grandma Wang is praising her son in a different way!Apart from nodding her head and saying yes, she had nothing else to say. Seeing that Wang Xi was determined not to talk about wages, she couldn't bring it up any more. At worst, she would get something good in the future and send it to Grandma Wang.Living in the countryside, there are many things that are more useful than money, such as food, such as salt, but they are more important than silver.Of course, it’s absolutely impossible without money.

After sitting for a while, Mu Xiang stood up and wanted to leave.Grandma Wang heard that Mu Lang was playing outside, so she asked Mu Xiang to grab some peanuts and bring them to Mu Lang to eat.
