Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 179 Santa Claus (Pink)
Chun Equinox packed up the tray, stuffed it into my sister's hand, and interrupted her chanting, "Okay, let's talk about it in the evening, and send it to Master Ouyang first. If it's too late, it's time for dinner in the big kitchen."

"Okay." Kexin took the tray happily, walked out of the gate of the courtyard, walked along the veranda to the entrance of the side room next to the East Wing, raised her hand and knocked on the door, "Master Ouyang, Madam sent me to deliver food to you .”

Two ebony carved doors opened in response, Ouyang stood in the door with a face of indifference, glanced at the tray in Ke Xin's hand and moved away, Ke Xin stepped into the door quickly, put the tray on the side of the table, and quickly put the tray on the table. A large bowl of rice, a plate of braised pork ribs, and a plate of Coca-Cola chicken wings were brought out, and finally put the bamboo chopsticks on the edge of the bowl, and said, "Master Ouyang, this is what my wife ordered me to bring to you. Say yes, you You have worked hard on teaching Miss Xi and young masters, from now on your daily food will come out of the small kitchen." Pointing to the plate of sauce-colored chicken wings, he said with a smile, "These chicken wings are newly made by Madam for the young masters and ladies to eat. Yes, it’s because there are too few ingredients, so I won’t make it again in the future, so I’ll share some out for you to try. I’ll go down first, Master Ouyang finished eating, just put the tray outside the door, and I’ll come back to collect it. "

Ouyang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Thanks for your hard work."

Kexin hurriedly returned the half-respect, "Master Ouyang is polite." After finishing speaking, she turned and walked out of the room, and offered to help close the door. She couldn't help sticking out her little tongue. This master Ouyang's calm face is so scary...

Ouyang looked at the tightly closed door, walked slowly to the table and sat down.The setting sun that is about to set comes in through the window sills and shines on the snow-white rice, which seems to be shining with a crystal luster. With the sauce-colored ribs and chicken wings, it emits a faint aroma, and slowly fills the whole room. A warm breath.He picked up the chopsticks, lightly picked up a chicken wing, took a bite, and a slightly bitter sweetness spread in his mouth, which was contradictory and strange, just like that woman who always took care of the children and the elderly in every possible way, It seems that there is no sorrow in the day.It's just that every midnight, when the practice is over, when she leans against the big tree to rest, her eyes staring at the swaying wine glass will reveal a trace of loneliness, which makes him want...no, he can't do anything...

Only half of the chicken wing left slowly slipped from the chopsticks and fell into the bowl. The slightly sweet taste in my mouth turned into bitterness at some point. Finally, the sunset completely fell, and a sound came from the hut that was invaded by darkness. long sigh...

Simba clutched his well-fed round belly, and Cheng'er clung to his mother's arms on one side and refused to get down. He clamored that he would eat chicken wings in the future, and Mu Ai nodded the noses of the two little greedy cats in a funny way. , "No matter how troublesome it is, I won't be able to eat any more. There is no shortage of chicken wings at home, but the Coke is all used up."

"Auntie, ask Daddy to buy it." Cheng'er blinked his big eyes and showed off happily. In his heart, his Daddy is a character similar to Santa Claus, who can fulfill any wish.

Mu Ai imagined Xiao Heng wearing a red robe, snow-white pompom hat, and a big bag on his back, and couldn't help laughing until his stomach ached. The two fat boys didn't know why their mother laughed so happily. She was so small that she insisted on her mother telling them. Even Xing'er washed her little hands and leaned over, blinking her big eyes, as if she really wanted to hear.

Mu Ai smiled, rubbed her sore stomach, and took out a sketchbook and pencil from the space. According to her imagination, she first drew a picture of Santa Claus in Xiao Heng's version, and then colored it with paint. Recruited Dayu and Tao'er who were sitting at the table reading, and showed it to several children. Seeing that Daddy was wearing strange clothes and carrying a big red bag, Cheng'er was so shocked that he opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The other children looked and looked, and Simba asked, "Why is Uncle Xiao carrying his pocket?"

Dayu and Tao'er also nodded. They didn't know why their mother drew Uncle Xiao like this, but Xing'er didn't think too much about it. She pointed to the picture and said, "Mom, Uncle Xiao's clothes are so beautiful."

Mu Ai scratched her little nose, "Smug little girl, now that the weather is getting warmer, I can't wear it anymore. When winter comes again, my mother will ask someone to design a more beautiful set for you."

"Well, thank you mom." The little girl squeezed into her mother's arms with a smile on her face.

Mu Ai stretched out her hand to embrace Cheng'er again, and said, "The coke for making chicken wings was brought by my mother from far away, and we don't have it in Baihua Kingdom. What Cheng'er said just now reminded my mother of a coke in my hometown. Fairy tales, in fairy tales, an old man is in the hearts of all children, just like your Uncle Xiao is in Cheng'er's heart, omnipotent."

"Mom tells... er... stories" Simba knew that his mother was going to tell a story again, so he wanted to get tired of it, but he didn't expect to break up when he moved his body.

Mu Ai quickly ordered Chun Equinox to pour a cup of warm tea to feed him, then held him in his arms, rubbed his stomach slowly, and tossed and tossed for a long time before the fat boy stopped hiccupping.

Mu Ai found a box of big hawthorn pills from the space, and shared one with Dayu and Cheng'er, letting them chew and eat, helping to digest the excess meat in their stomachs. These three children are meat eaters. Animals, the ribs, steamed pork, chicken wings and other meat dishes on the table just now were basically eaten by them, while Tao'er and Xing'er were herbivores, eating vegetables with big mouthfuls, but barely moving their chopsticks for meat.The extreme opposite eating habits of several children have always caused her headaches.

While chewing hawthorn pills, Cheng'er made a face at Simba, while Simba squeezed into his mother's arms triumphantly. Cheng'er looked at Xing'er who occupied the other half of his aunt's arms. He lost his position, so he pouted, raised the picture in his hand, and said, "Auntie, I haven't told the story yet."

"Cheng'er, don't worry, my aunt will tell you. There is a country in my aunt's hometown. They are like us during the New Year. Every winter when it is coldest, there is an important festival called Christmas. Everyone in this festival , will wear beautiful dresses, and the most sumptuous food will be placed on the dinner table. And the children will hang a big sock on the bedside before going to bed at night, and then tell the gift they hope to get. At night, there will be An old man named Santa Claus drove a sleigh full of presents pulled by elk, all the way to the roof of every house, and went into the house along the chimney. When they woke up the next morning, the children They will be very happy to find that the gift they want is packed in the stocking. So, Santa Claus is an old man who can make wishes come true."

"Mom, don't we have an old man here? Simba wants a box of picture albums." Simba's eyes are full of little stars, and he very much hopes that the old man can come to the house.

"Cheng'er wants it too." Cheng'er also quickly and strongly expressed his wish, in exchange for his aunt slapping his forehead, "You two lazy boys, let's not say that it's too far away, Santa Claus can't come, just If he can come, I will also tell him that he can’t give you picture albums. Picture albums are rewards, and only good children who work hard to learn Chinese and martial arts can get them. Lazy children, there is no reward.”

"Auntie is so stingy." Cheng'er's small mouth was pouted higher than before, and Mu Ai was amused, and put the picture in his hand into his hand and said, "Auntie is not stingy, I will give you this Christmas picture of Dad. Alright, It's getting late, let's all go back to bed, Dayu and Tao'er don't study too late."

"Yes, Mom." The children agreed, and Mu Ai kissed them on the forehead one by one, and then watched them follow the maids and file out the door.

Mu Ai stretched long, leaned on the soft couch and rested for a quarter of an hour, then sent a few maids on the vernal equinox to rest, then changed into clean black clothes, and continued to practice flying needles. The wooden figurines have been replaced by two, and they also need to shoot at different acupoints at the same time, to test the results of practicing one mind and three functions these days...

The days passed like this for seven or eight days. Among them, Huzi came to greet the old lady once, and his behavior was much more regular. The old lady was very happy, and Mu Ai was very moved by the magic of stick education.Seeing that her grandson was promising, the old lady couldn't stay any longer and moved back that afternoon.Mu Ai didn't stop her either, and asked her old man to bring a box of snacks back to thank Wang Shusheng. After all, Huzi's current "progress" is all thanks to him.

On the first night, Mu Ai arranged the homework for the children, asked Dayu Taoer to take care of the younger siblings, and left Ouyang at home. Then, before dawn the next morning, she took the spring equinox and took the carriage out. Kong Xi He drove the car himself, followed by two guards.Hurrying all the way, I arrived at the courtyard in the east of the city in the middle of the day. Mu Ai lifted the window of the car pasted with cotton paper and looked out. From a distance, I saw the people living in the two courtyards. Not only the craftsmen in the courtyard were shouting chants Working together to move stones and wood, and laying bricks and tiles, even though there were more than a dozen children busy outside the courtyard, she couldn't help frowning.Slightly worried in my heart, Mu Liuben is not that clumsy person, could it be that he has forgotten his wife's temperament just because he is the first to take on the role, and the worst thing is to see the elderly and children suffer, how can he hire children to do work just because he wants to save a few pennies? .

When the carriage arrived at the door, Kong Xi jumped off the shaft, handed the reins to Ding San who came after him, and then took the small bench behind the carriage and put it under the door.Chun Equinox opened the car door and walked down first, then turned around and helped the mistress.Someone in the yard has seen it for a long time. Although they don't know who the woman getting off the car is, she is not an ordinary person when she looks at the clothes. The young man with quick legs ran into the second gate to report. Mu Ai just walked into the gate , Mu Liu took Mu Qi, Mu Jiu and Wu Ersao to pick them up in a hurry, and they came to Mu Ai and stopped two steps away, bowing rudely, "Madam is well."

Mu Ai nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, show me around to see how the progress is going?"

　Thank you for supporting genuine! ! !
