Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 19

Mu Ai was about to explode, "Who knows who your grandson is? How did I seduce him to work? Did I promise him gold or silver? Can you show me the evidence?"

"You, you, you unruly woman." The old man is not a person who is good at quarreling, and when he was questioned by her a few words, he cursed back to the original words.

Just as Mu Ai was about to continue to refute, she saw grandma trotting over from a distance, followed by the panting Shuan Shuan. The old lady might have heard the old man's scolding just now, but she had already started to yell before she came to her, " You old stubborn donkey, who provoked you, to vent your anger on our immortals, if you don't obey women's morals, can you just scold women casually?"

The old man originally cursed out of anger, but now he blushed a little after hearing the old lady who was about his own age scolding him.After all, it would be embarrassing for an elderly elder to scold a widow of a younger generation in such a way.

But he still refused to give in, and retorted, "You don't discipline your granddaughter well, and you still have the face to criticize me."

The old lady was angry at him for scolding Muai, but when she heard him say this, her voice became louder, "Why is my granddaughter not disciplined? If you don't explain it to me today, I don't want to lose face. They all come here to judge, it is you who are not good at cursing people, or my fairy owes discipline!"

The old man was stunned by the old lady, and he muttered, "Who told her to seduce Er Niu to work for her? The silly boy was so tired that he slept for a long time. Last time he forgot to water my fairy night grass and died. I found a good medicinal herb, just now I dozed off and shoveled off half of the wood spirit grass. I don’t know if I can still survive. If I hadn’t been more vigilant last night, I wouldn’t have noticed that he came to work in the field at night. .” The old man seemed to have found a reason, and his confidence became stronger again, and his voice became rough.

Only then did the old lady understand what was going on. A few days ago, Mu Ai told her the strange things in the field as if it were a fairy tale, but she didn't pay attention to it, thinking that her granddaughter was just teasing her.Speaking of which, Er Niu's child has been simple, honest and diligent since he was a child, and the two families live closer together. It may be that he saw his two granddaughters digging the ground a few days ago. He couldn't bear it, and he was afraid that others would gossip, so he came here quietly at night. Helped with work.The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was the case, and my heart became more confident, and my tone became more rigid.

"You old king, those broken medicinal plants of yours are important, but the reputation of our family's immortals is not important! Have you asked carefully what happened to Er Niu, in case you wronged the two children and caused something to happen? , even if it is a misunderstanding to ask in the future, in this village, they don't want to raise their heads to meet people."

The old man also felt that he was a little reckless when he heard it. Those two herbs were his treasures. He was obsessed with medical skills all his life, and he didn't even have a family. Strictly, but I really love him very much. This time I feel sorry for the herbal medicine, and I am afraid that Erniu will be spoiled by a little widow, so I came here to scold Muai regardless of my identity.

Looking at his face, the old lady knew that he had regrets in his heart, "You are too old, and you don't ask clearly before doing things. Erniu is soft-hearted and capable. Maybe it's because Xianxian is not easy to turn the ground. , wanted to help, but was afraid that you would scold him if you found out, so I secretly helped with some work. If you don’t believe me, go back and ask carefully.” After speaking, he ignored the old man, and took his two granddaughters straight back to the yard.

Mu Ai helped the old lady into the room, and poured her a cup of tea to moisten her throat. It was the first time that Shuan Shuan saw her grandma arguing so loudly with others, and shrank back at the table a little timidly.Afraid that she would be scared, Mu Ai pulled her into her arms and hugged her. These days, she has been eating rice and vegetables in the space, as well as pork and mutton.Looking up at grandma again, her face is also very rosy, but I don't know if she really looks good, or if she was angry because of the quarrel just now.

Thinking of the way the old lady reprimanded the old man just now, Mu Ai couldn't help it, and burst out laughing.

The old lady had just calmed down, and when she saw her granddaughter looking at her and smiling, she knew that she was really rude just now.The old face turned even redder, and he glared at Mu Ai, "What are you laughing at, silly girl, it's all because of you, that old stubborn guy, although he's a bit rigid and stupid on weekdays, he's lived here as a neighbor for many years, this is still It's the first time I've quarreled with him."

"Of course Xianxian knows that grandma is protecting me, but today this is really a disaster. It has been half a month since I came back from the city. Er Niu came to eat twice and never came again. I didn't care. Who knew he Will secretly help. But, grandma, is this old man really the grandfather of Er Niu?" Mu Ai took out a small bag of beef jerky from the space, tore it open and handed it to Shuan Shuan, asking the old lady, Shuan Shuan also According to the usual old rules, I poured the food into a small plate, returned the beautiful bag to my sister, and threw Muai back into the space.The little girl had delicious food, forgot the uneasiness just now, and ate it with relish, wondering how much more delicious food Sister Xian could conjure up.

The old lady watched the two granddaughters skillfully, one hugging and the other eating, and she felt very comforted. Xianxian really hurt Shuan Shuan. This granddaughter really believed it at the beginning. Come to think of it, even if she suddenly went away one day, Shuan Shuan also has someone to entrust.However, I should be able to live another ten or eight years. I have been helping Xianxian for a while, but I have eaten more than before, and my body is much lighter.

Thinking in his heart, he briefly told Mu Ai about Erniu's life experience, and her eyes became sour when she heard that she also felt sorry for each other.At the end, the old lady still worriedly added, "In the future, we should be careful to avoid suspicion. Although we are a poor mountain village, the rules are no less loose than other places. Don't make people laugh behind their backs. We will be the ones who will suffer."

Mu Ai knew it was for her own good, so she responded with a smile, "Grandma, Xianxian is still very confused about these rules and the like, teach me more when you have time."

The old lady nodded.

The two of them talked a few more words about the new seedlings in the experimental field, and then they heard someone shouting outside the courtyard gate, "Is his fourth grandma at home?"

The old lady and Mu Ai glanced at each other, and they both recognized that it was the voice of Old Boss Wang. Could it be that he chased him home to quarrel?
The old lady was not stage-frightened either, and told Shuan Shuan, who was looking out, to go back to the house and embroider the handkerchief that had just been stitched yesterday, and then ignored her pursed mouth, and took the wood ai steadily. to open the door.

As a result, as soon as the old boss led Erniu in, he bowed to the two of them to the ground. The scared Mu Ai hurriedly moved away, and the old lady quickly helped him up, and pulled him to sit by the stone table. up.Mu Ai went back to the house to collect tea, and when she came out, she saw the old man was blushing and looked extremely sorry, she presumably got to know the truth from Er Niu.

At this moment, seeing Mu Ai approaching, she stood up embarrassingly and wanted to say something, but was pushed down by the old lady again.

"You are an elder, and we are old neighbors for many years. Even if you scold her by mistake, you don't have to be so polite. Just know that Xianxian is a good boy." The old lady said.

Mu Ai also hurriedly put down the tea set, squatted down and bowed to the old man, "Grandpa Wang, just now the immortals were also at fault, so you shouldn't talk back to your elders. Your boss has a lot, so don't argue with me. I was injured a few days ago. I broke my head. Although it was the medicine given by Brother Li, seriously, his medical skills were taught by you, Grandpa Wang. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Grandpa Wang saved my life. Thank you in person. Please receive a gift from the immortal, and let this matter be covered, okay?"

The old man didn't expect Mu Ai to be so polite, not only didn't mention her grievance when she was innocently scolded, but thanked him instead, she is really a sensible and virtuous woman.

Immediately agreed, Er Niu asked Mu Ai to pay respects and make amends. After all, the matter was caused by his careless help.Mu Ai thanked him for his selfless help with a smile, the two were speechless for a while, and stood behind their respective elders with lowered eyebrows.
