Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 145

The summer solstice and winter solstice were also busy with the work at hand, discussing about cutting clothes for the children with several pieces of fine cotton cloth on the table.
Mu Ai remembered what Guo Huai said, and summoned Dong Zhi to ask him carefully.

During the winter solstice, although he doesn't speak much on weekdays, he has a calm and stable temperament. Most of the time he teaches needlework or talks with the old lady, but he is also very clever.

Before Mu Ai entered the city, she ordered to send some snacks and soup to the old lady every day, and she would bring two extra cakes every time, and secretly stuff them for Xiao Huaer, or step forward to help her out when the tiger kicked her aggressively. After a few times like this, I got along very well with the little girl.Whenever the winter solstice asks, there is nothing that does not go into detail.

After she and the housekeeper sent Shuan Shuan off that day, they both breathed a sigh of relief. She was sewing a quilted jacket for Simba, when she vaguely heard a lot of people coming from the old lady's yard, and there was also crying.

Winter Solstice was worried about the old lady's health, so she didn't dare to neglect, so she quickly packed a box of snacks, went to the big kitchen, filled a large bowl of mushroom and chicken soup, and brought it to the west courtyard by herself to see the situation.

Only then did I know that it was the old lady's two natal brothers who brought their children and grandchildren to recognize the door.Winter Solstice didn't talk too much, put down his things, said hello to the old lady, made an excuse and went back to the yard.
After listening to Dongzhi's words, Mu Ai sighed in her heart. It really echoed the old saying that no one cares about being poor in the downtown area, and having distant relatives in the deep mountains when being rich.

The two natal brothers of the old lady finally appeared on the stage. They hadn't thought of seeing the old sister for many years. Now, as long as they are not blind, who can not see their purpose when they come to the door at this time.
Instructing Chun Equinox to pick out two pieces of high-quality cotton fabrics, a warm hat made of squirrel skin, and two boxes of snacks brought back from the city. The purse and the silver zizi cast in the shape of flowers and birds told Xia Zhi to take good care of the child, and then took the spring equinox and winter solstice to the west courtyard with Xiao An.

The mountain village in the afternoon is very quiet. Occasionally, melted snow will flow down from the eaves, making a ticking sound, which further sets off the tranquility of the surroundings.

Mu Ai was thinking about whether to add some slides and other places of play to the four boys' yard, while stepping into the old lady's yard with her head down.

From a distance, I saw Huzi standing under the west window kicking and beating Xiao Hua'er. The obedient sound seemed to be that Xiao Hua'er accidentally broke some small toy while cleaning.Xiao Hua'er bit her lip, her face full of grievances, a trace of resentment occasionally flashed in her eyes, but she still didn't dare to move an inch.

Mu Ai frowned, Chunfen knew that his wife was not happy, and because the old lady couldn't discipline her face, she hurried forward and shouted, "Sister Xiao Huaer, did the old lady wake up from her afternoon nap?"

Xiao Hua'er looked up and saw Mu Ai's people, as if she had seen a savior, she immediately bowed to Hu Zi and apologized, and Xiao Pao'er came over to reply, "Say hello to Madam, the old Madam just woke up from her afternoon nap, and she is drinking tea with uncles and gentlemen gossip."

Mu Ai nodded, glanced at the tiger who had already got into the hall door, feeling helpless, they were also children, why Simba Cheng'er and the others were so sensible and cute, this tiger couldn't get on the stage at all, could it be true Inherited Gu's bad genes?After Wang Shusheng moved in, he had to remind the old lady not to be soft-hearted, this child really needs to be disciplined severely for a few years, otherwise, if he is allowed to continue to be so rude and domineering, it may cause some disasters in the future.

The old lady was sitting on the main seat, her face was visibly thinner, and there was a trace of worry hidden between her brows and eyes.Looking up and seeing Mu Ai coming in, there was no joy on his face, on the contrary, he seemed to be more worried.

Mu Ai stepped forward to salute, then stood beside her, and smiled half coquettishly, "Grandma, Xianxian has only been in the city for half a month, why do you lose a lot of weight just looking at it, do you miss Xianxian too much?" gone?"

The old lady sighed, took her hand, patted it, her complexion improved slightly, and said, "You child, you know that grandma will miss you, so why have you been here for so long?"

"Grandma doesn't know. Doesn't the autumnal equinox girl next to me always like to think about making some snacks? This time, I opened a dim sum shop in the city. I thought it would make more money in the future, so Zhang Luo's opening was delayed. A few days."

During the winter solstice, I often come to the old lady's place. Seeing that my wife was still standing, and there were people sitting on the left and right seats below, I turned around and went into the inner room, moved a round stool out, and put it beside the old lady's seat.Just as Mu Ai was about to sit down, she seemed to remember something suddenly, and said with a smile, "Grandma, it was Xianxian who was rude. She only cared about her losing weight, but she didn't see any guests at home." She said with an apologetic face He looked down at the few people below.

Although Mu Ai changed out of the brocade dress she went out with, she only wore a homely couple-colored jacket with a moon-white butterfly pleated skirt, and the shoes on her feet were also ordinary white lambskin boots, but her head The earrings are delicately made of pearls the size of a thumb. The jade bracelets on the wrists and the jade rings on the corners of the skirt are all high-quality suet jade. It can be seen that it is definitely a good thing of great value.

What's more, she has lived for more than twenty years from birth to now, whether in modern times or in this time and space, she has never been short of food and clothing, and she has never been in trouble because of money.Especially now that she has been the mistress of the house for two years, she doesn't feel anything, but in the eyes of others, every gesture of her hands is full of wealth and dignity, especially these people are still some poor people living in poverty man of.

When the first few people saw her and looked over, the two middle-aged men in their thirties immediately stood up.The two eleven or twelve-year-old boys who were standing behind them even hid inward, and the remaining two old men who were about the same age as the old lady moved slightly, but they still barely sat there.

Pointing to the two old men, the old lady said, "Xianxian, these are two brothers from grandma's natal family. Just like Shuan Shuan, call them uncle and grandpa." After finishing speaking, she said to the two brothers, " Big Brother, Second Brother, this is what I mentioned to you, the granddaughter I recognize. She is a good, filial and sensible child. I can still live well, and I don’t have to worry about food and clothing, but it’s all thanks to this child blessing."

Mu Ai smiled and bowed to the two old men respectively. The older one sitting on the left wanted to reach out to help her, but seemed afraid that the calluses on his hand would scratch her clothes, so he withdrew it embarrassingly. hands.

Although the other one was still a little apprehensive, he still accepted the gift calmly, seeing that Mu Ai's face didn't show any abnormality, his eyes immediately became a little more proud.

This made Mu Ai feel a little displeased, originally seeing the clothes, rough hands, and dark and old faces of several people, she still had some pity.

Thinking that as long as they don't ask too much, they can help as long as they can. Anyway, those new crops are to be promoted, and it doesn't matter who grows them, but the old man's eyes reminded her of a documentary she watched in modern times.

Those poor people who hate the rich and commit crimes have such eyes, it seems that they see richer people bowing their heads to themselves and begging for mercy, and they are very happy and relieve their hatred...

If this old man also has such thoughts, then he might be a troublesome character in the future. She doesn't want another Gu family, so she must keep her spirits up and not let the old lady be in a difficult position, and she can't get used to this person too much. greedy heart.

Thinking so in my heart, but there was still a slight smile on my face, not showing the slightest bit.Mu Ai greeted those two middle-aged people again, they were from the same generation as Li Sheng, she called her uncle, but the two of them kept talking but did not dare.

In the end, the old lady asked the two and a half older children to salute her again, and Mu Ai felt a little more balanced, finally she didn't have to salute the children.Turning around, he took two purses and two one-two-weight silver ladles cast in the shape of puppies from the tray, and distributed them to the two "brothers" as a meeting gift.

The old lady wanted to decline, but she swallowed her words when she saw the two boys clutching their purses tightly in their hands.

Mu Ai accompanied the old lady to talk about the process of opening a store in the city and some interesting stories, then brought over the snacks and fabrics, and discussed with the old lady what to do.In the end, I helped the old lady try on the warm hat, which killed almost two quarters of an hour.

The second uncle sitting on the right was a little impatient, coughed twice, and seemed to have something to say.

Xiao An was carrying the teapot to refill the old lady's water, when she heard his coughing, she thought he wanted to refill the tea, so she cleverly replaced them with hot tea.

The second uncle took the opportunity to praise and said, "This girl is really clever and has a wink, she is...uh..." He wanted to call Mu Ai's granddaughter, but he was a little guilty. son?"

Xiao An's hand was a mess, he didn't expect to be praised by pouring a cup of tea, but he still became so many strange faces.The little girl's face was a little blushing, she was twelve or thirteen years old, she had eaten and slept well after being with Muai for more than a year, and she was more and more graceful, this blush made the two The boy was dumbfounded.

Mu Ai smiled, and replied lightly, "Second Uncle is absurd, but she is just a little girl, she has some winks." After speaking, Xiao An glanced at Xiao An, and Xiao An quickly retreated behind his wife.

The second uncle couldn't continue talking for a while, so he had to turn to his grandson bluntly, "My little grandson is also smart and capable. He is a good hand when he goes to the fields and chops firewood on weekdays." Looking outside the door, he asked, "I've been here for a few days, but I haven't seen what that girl Shuan Shuan looks like yet. Eldest sister, have you settled for her? In this world, it's hard to be a daughter-in-law. You should marry her." Go to your own family's house, kiss and kiss..."

"Crack!" The second uncle was talking happily, but he was interrupted by a sudden cracking sound.

It turned out that the more Mu Ai listened to him, the more she seemed to want to marry Shuan Shuan to be his grandson-in-law, not to mention that marriages with close relatives are easy to give birth to stupid children, even if the blood relationship is not hindered.

The second uncle didn't have a good personality at first glance, so if Shuan Shuan became his granddaughter-in-law, I'm afraid she won't be able to get rid of her in the future, and Shuan Shuan will never have a good life.

The old lady also didn't want to marry Shuan Shuan into her brother's family. Besides, she had promised that Shuan Shuan's marriage would be decided by Xianxian, but she couldn't refute her brother face to face, so she hesitated for a while and didn't speak out.
