Chronicle of Farming in Muxianfu

Chapter 234
Back to Suiyuan in the late afternoon, Kong Xi and the others escorted the children to the street.Mu Ai washed and changed clothes, read a book quietly for a while, and took a nap for another hour. When she woke up, it was already dark, and the children finally came back.

After all, they are young and don't know how to hide their emotions. The joy and anger of the children are all on their faces. If they think about going out today, there should be nothing to gain.Mu Ai didn't ask any more questions, and just smiled and added food to them with her own hands.After dinner, let them frown and discuss together as usual, and ignore them.

In this way, two or three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the children still had no clue. Walking occasionally is leisurely, but running around every day is suffering. When they come back every night, they look tired, and they even eat well. not enough.

Mu Ai said that she would not help, but in reality she had already started to feel distressed.After thinking about it, I quietly selected Mu Si and Mu Wu, who are steady and prudent, and Qingfeng Mingyue, who had practiced with Mu San for several months, followed a few children, and secretly asked them to tell them about the day's affairs in detail every night. , and then pass some of her suggestions to the children through them.

Sure enough, after the initial bewilderment, the children gradually found their way and became more and more motivated.After walking around the street for another two days, I finally bought a grocery store diagonally opposite Shiweitian. The owner’s son was said to have caused trouble in the south and was in a hurry to raise money, so there were two fronts and four rooms behind. , the total cost is only 280 taels of silver. Seeing that the boss is less than 28 years old, his hair is already grey, and they feel sympathetic. On the shelf, a full [-] ingots of government-made silver were handed over to others.

But when I went back to the shop and took a closer look, I found many shortcomings of the shop. For example, there is no well in the backyard, and I have to borrow water from the neighbor on weekdays. The neighbor is stingy. He opened his mouth wide and asked for two taels of silver to borrow money every month.Another example is that the left side room in the backyard is too old, the beams of the house have been mostly hollowed out by moths, and the roof also has two or three traces of rain leakage.If it is completely renovated, it will require too much money, and if it is repaired, it will not last for a year.After all the calculations, 280 taels, I bought a half-baked shop.

Tao'er has been pampered since she was a child, and she has a sense of arrogance. She clamors that she has been cheated, and she wants to go to the boss to quit the shop, but let alone whether the boss is still in Kao City. They didn't force you to pay the money, if you want to blame it, it's because you didn't pay attention carefully.Dayu stopped him with a sullen face, and they went home together with their heads drooping.

This incident can be said to be a bad start. The three little ones only worried about these trivial matters for a while and then threw them to the back of their minds. They only thought about when to start making ice cream.Tao'er and Dayu were hit by this negligence and lost confidence, and it was Mu Wu who found an opportunity to comfort them a little, and they regained their spirits.

The two gathered all their hands to brainstorm, and after studying for an hour, they took out eight taels of silver to dig a well, and spent ten taels of silver to repair the east wing.

With such a decision, Musi and Muwu began to recruit craftsmen to dig wells and repair houses, Qingfeng went to customize plaques and make containers for ice cream, and Mingyue went to the surrounding villages outside the city to find dairy goats that were producing milk. Yu and Tao'er went to negotiate with the chosen family and hired them to help herd the sheep and milk the sheep at a price of one tael per month, and then deliver the milk to the shop every morning after the gate of the city opened.The three young ones were kept in the shop most of the time, in the name of supervising the craftsmen to work hard, but in fact Dayu and Tao'er felt sorry for them being too tired and let them play casually.

Just like this, the few children have been working together for half a month. Every day, they have to get up early to practice martial arts in the open space of the garden, practice calligraphy and reading in the morning, and go out to work in the afternoon.

Dayu and Tao'er are alright, except that they lost some weight, but their spirits are very high. Seeing the changes in the shop day by day, I feel very proud.

The three little ones slowly passed the initial excitement and became tired. Every time they went out, they would sneak a glance at their mother, waiting for their mother to say something, take a rest for two days, and they can stay in the Played at home.It's a pity that mother still didn't speak, so they could only drag the chubby legs listlessly, and continued to make trouble in the shop.

On this day, Mu Ai suddenly got excited, and remembered that when she was a child, her favorite thing was to see a peddler selling ice cream with a thermos bucket, and she would run home in a hurry to ask her grandma for two cents to buy one. My son squatted under the shade of a tree, licking and eating beautifully.

So I changed into men’s clothing and went out, found a well-known tinsmith’s shop, and discussed with the master chef for a long time. I wanted to make a few molds for making square ice cream and double-layer insulation buckets. I want to earn some extra money in the future. We can carry this popsicle bucket and sell it on the street.

The tinsmith was also a smart man. When the first thermos bucket was formed, he immediately stated that he would only charge [-]% for custom-made tinware made by Muai in the future, but he was allowed to take out this thermos bucket.Mu Ai is not a person who cherishes herself with a broom, this thermos is just a whim for her, but it is an opportunity for the tinsmith, so she readily agrees, which makes the nervous tinsmith overjoyed, and sends her out with gratitude.

When Mu Ai returned home, she quietly gave the thermos to Mu Wu, carefully explained how to use it, and of course passed it on to the children, it was a good idea that Mu Wu came up with after a night of hard thinking.She resolutely does not want the children to know that she is behind the scenes, otherwise, it will hurt the children's self-confidence, and she is also afraid that they will develop a sense of dependence and learn to not have the initiative to solve difficulties by themselves.

Early this morning, Mu Ai was serving steamed vegetarian dumplings made by herself and putting them on the dining table, but Xia Zhi came to report that Simba and Cheng'er refused to get up and both complained of stomach pains.

Mu Ai quickly put down what she was doing, and hurried over, Suiyuan's place is not as big as the mansion, so Simba and Cheng'er still live in the same room, and they still share a big bed.

At this time, Dayu and Tao'er were surrounded by the bed, at a loss. The two naughty boys were rolling on the bed with their stomachs in their arms, shouting about the pain in their stomachs. When their little eyes caught sight of their mother entering the door, they shouted even louder.Mu Ai sat on the edge of the bed, hugged them from left to right, and asked anxiously, "Simba, Cheng'er, what's the matter with you, did you push off the quilt last night? Or did you drink cold water before going to bed? Tell me, what kind of pain is it?"

Simba put his arms around his mother's neck, sobbing softly, "Mom, Simba's stomach hurts, and Simba didn't push the blanket."

Cheng'er also said, "Auntie, Cheng'er didn't drink cold water, Cheng'er just has a stomachache."

Now Mu Ai became even more anxious, she didn't know what caused the two children's illnesses, even though she had stored a lot of medicines in her space, she didn't dare to give them casually.He turned his head and called Chunfen who was standing by the door, "Chunfen, let someone set up a car and go to the medical center to pick up Mr. Wang."

"Yes, ma'am." The spring equinox answered and was about to go out.

In the end, the two children shouted together, "No."

Mu Ai was taken aback for a moment, and coaxed softly, "Xinba Cheng is good, you need to see a doctor if you have a stomachache, so it will heal quickly."

Simba and Cheng'er winked at each other, and then said in a low voice, "Mom, Simba doesn't want to see a doctor, and it will be fine for Simba to rest for two more days."

"Yes, yes, aunt, let's sleep a little longer and the stomach will be fine." Cheng'er quickly agreed.

After hearing what they said, how could Mu Ai still not understand that the stomach pains of these two boys were fake, and the truth was that they wanted to take the opportunity to be lazy for a few days.She endured and endured, and then suppressed the anger in her heart, let go of the two naughty boys, suddenly smiled very brightly and gently, and said, "Mom was too anxious just now, and suddenly forgot that she can also check the pulse. Come on, mom will give you the pulse first." Take a look."

As he said that, he pulled the wrists of the two boys, pretended to touch them for a while, and said, "Well, your stomach hurts because you ate too much yesterday, and the food accumulated in your stomach will cause your stomach pain. You don't need to eat anything The medicine is gone, get some sleep first, and be hungry."

Dayu and Tao'er didn't understand why their mother was fooling their two younger brothers, and they were afraid of delaying the younger brother's illness, so they wanted to open their mouths to persuade them, but they were stared back by their mother.

Simba and Cheng'er didn't know that their mother had seen through their little trick, and thought they had succeeded in lying, so they automatically got under the quilt spontaneously, and said very cutely, "Simba listens to mother's words, and his stomach won't hurt when he wakes up."

Cheng'er also hurriedly nodded her head, "So is Cheng'er."

"You guys sleep well." Mu Ai tucked up the quilt for them before leading Dayu Tao'er out the door.

After walking more than ten steps away, Dayu immediately asked, "Mom, brothers, do you really not need to see a doctor? Can sleep cure stomach pain?" Although Tao'er didn't speak, her expression was obviously suspicious.

Mu Ai smiled, "You two little fools, I know you love my brother, but you don't have to look at the appearance of the two boys. They don't have stomach pains at all. They don't want to get up and want to be lazy, so they just let it go." Such a lie."

"Ah? How could they lie to their mother about their illness?" Both Dayu and Tao'er frowned, a little angry that their younger brothers lied, which made their mother anxious.

Mu Ai patted their heads, "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about my brother's affairs, I have my own opinion, let's go have breakfast, and then your morning homework is canceled, go to the shop and work."

The three of mother and son entered the dining room. Fortunately, the little girl was already waiting at the table. Shuan Shuan was worried about her one-acre melon field a few days ago, so he drove back by car to pinch her melon seedlings a second time.So Xing'er was accompanied by Xiao An to live in the east wing, and she didn't know that her two older brothers had lied and played tricks just now.

After the mother and son had dinner, Tao'er and Dayu took Xing'er to the shop, and Mu Simu and Wu followed as usual, and the yard became quiet again.
