A good wife and a good mother

Chapter 77
Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng were still busy cleaning up. After wiping the window and door frames, they started to clean the floor.Mo Daxi told them before that although it is convenient to sweep the polished stone floor, it will raise a lot of dust. For this reason, she asked Xu Shaolin to find some old clothes that were too worn to wear and tear them into cloth strips to make a mop. Save it for mopping.

After they cleaned up the inside and outside of the new house, it was already noon. After sending away another wave of villagers who came to observe, Xu Shaolin went to Mo Guihua's house to cook on crutches, because the pots and stoves in the new house It hasn't been fully built yet, so we can only use Mo Guihua's kitchen for the time being.

When Mo Dai was not at home, the food quality of Mo Daxi's family obviously dropped. The four adults who were too poor were willing to eat only white rice and white noodles, so their lunch was black rice porridge mixed with a handful of white noodles and a handful of white rice. Then Chinese cabbage was fried, and the oil was not at all willing to put it in. It was only for the sake of having two children and a pregnant woman that Xu Shaolin took three eggs and boiled them heartlessly.

For more than a month, the appetite of Mo Daxi's family has obviously been spoiled by the meals made by Mo Dai. Even Xu Shaolin, who ate the cabbage buns made by himself that lacked oil and salt, were a little hard to swallow, but they still kept silent. The others ate like this, even the two little ones didn't make any noise, they quickly drank up a small bowl of black noodle porridge, didn't eat the Chinese cabbage, just slipped down to the dining table to play with the eggs Xu Shaolin gave them. went.

As for Maru Niu, I have to say that it has a very personality, so it simply stopped eating. At this time, it has long forgotten that when it first arrived at Mo Daxi's house, in order to fill its stomach, it was afraid of even the small bowl of rough black batter. A child coveted it and swallowed it without hesitation.

Xu Shaolin also only ate a bowl of porridge and put down his chopsticks. He looked up and glanced at the table without Mo Daxi, always feeling empty, and the atmosphere during the meal was like the Chinese cabbage lacking in oil and salt, very bland and tasteless.The two grandsons have slipped away, and the three sons are silent, alas!
If Daxi was around, the two children would definitely not sneak out to play early, and they would never skip a bite of cabbage. How could that small bowl of porridge be enough?I'm afraid they are waiting for their mother to come back and cook them delicious food!

If Daxi was there, although the three sons would not speak, they would still show different expressions when watching Daxi tease the two children. How could they be as lifeless as they are now?
The meal passed in such silence. After the meal, Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng washed the dishes and fed the pigs, and then continued to take care of the two children who hadn't had time to finish because they were busy building a house. Finished with Xu Shaolin's new clothes. Of course, what they didn't say was that they also made one for Modai.

At the end of the hour, Mo Xiaoyu suddenly rushed into the courtyard of his new home, and Mo Xiaoyi sprinted slowly and followed behind. Seeing his grandfather Xu Shaolin weaving bamboo baskets, Mo Xiaoyu gasped excitedly and said: "Master (ancestor) Father... Mother, mother is back!" After finishing speaking, without waiting for Xu Shaolin to react, he ran out of the house again, Mo Xiaoyi just followed in but saw that his brother was about to go out again, so he ran with his short legs go out.

When Xu Shaolin heard that Mo Daxi had returned, he felt a little excited, and he stopped weaving the bamboo baskets, and followed out with a cane.

Three bullock carts drove steadily into Mojia Village. The bullock carts were piled up with all kinds of furniture painted with paulownia varnish. Two large round tables, one short book case, twelve armchairs, two coffee tables, eight stools, six wardrobes, one dresser with a brass mirror, two chaise longues, and two finely crafted Rocking horses and strange iron boxes and barrels.Mo Dai didn't ask carpenter Gu to make a bed, because all the rooms in the house that could be lived in were built with kangs, and they only needed to weave bamboo mats to spread on them.

Seeing Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi flying towards her, the smile on Mo Dai's lips widened, she jumped off the bullock cart neatly, and greeted them with open arms.

Mo Xiaoyu flew directly into Modai's embrace, while Mo Xiaoyi stopped halfway, seeing that Modai was still waiting with open arms towards him, he was stunned for a moment, and finally pulled out his calf and rushed towards Modai Come over, however, I was about to pounce on it, but unexpectedly my little foot tripped over the uneven dirt road, fell to the ground with a slap, and burst into tears.

Mo Dai hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, took out a sweat towel to wipe his tears, and at the same time held two sugar figurines in front of him and Mo Xiaoyu: "Look at what this is?"

Mo Xiaoyi was immediately attracted by the sugar figurine, and stopped crying instantly, big tears still hanging on her long eyelashes.Mo Xiaoyu was also attracted by the sugar figure, and excitedly shouted: "Pig! Pig!"

Mo Dai distributed the sugar figures to them, and picked up one in each hand. The food for more than a month has been effective. The weight of the little ones seems to have increased, but there is still not much meat on their bodies. It seems that she has to make persistent efforts!
The furniture brought back by Mo Dai once again attracted the crowds of the villagers. After the last two times, Mo Dai was already numb, and only cared about moving the furniture into the yard with Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng. If anyone talked to her, she would Then she responded with a smile, answered those who could answer, and let out a "hehe" if she couldn't answer. It didn't take long for those who came to watch were all "hehe" away by her.

Mo Xiaoyu and Mo Xiaoyi looked curiously and excitedly at Mo Tai, Mo Wuyun and Mo Wufeng moving in and out of furniture. Although they didn't think the furniture was useful, they were thinking "this belongs to my family" and were proud And pride will appear on their little faces.After seeing the two rocking horses, they were very pleasantly surprised. They cheered and ran over, but refused to get off after sitting on them.

After all the furniture was put back, Mo Dai called Mo Guihua to build the pot together.Mo Dai put the iron box and bucket back to the original reserved position on the pot and stove, and Mo Guihua did the final work of plastering the mud and embedding the grinding stone.

When the pots and stoves were cleaned up, it was already midnight, Maru Niu couldn't wait to run to Mo Dai's feet and said: I haven't eaten lunch yet, I'm hungry, I want to eat!You hurry to cook!

Mode: Why didn't you eat lunch?
Maru Niu: Too bad!

Mode: Starve to death!
Maru Niu was not convinced: Your two little ones didn't eat much, it was really unpalatable!Black noodle porridge with fried Chinese cabbage that lacks oil and salt, how unpalatable it is!

Mo Dai noticed that the two little ones were also looking at her eagerly, their stomachs were already growling, and then she frowned, not only complaining that Xu Shaolin was too frugal, but also worried that the two little ones would be picky eaters.If she can't come back to cook every day, what will the two little ones do?Thinking of this, Mo Dai glared at Maru Niu: Something is better than nothing!It's just a pig, and it still hates this and that!
Maru Niu was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood, and was about to reason with her, but found that she was already walking towards Mo Guihua's house, Maru Niu followed, and the two younger ones also ran over.
